Chris starts off the show with Adam reporting the news, beginning with the death of Irish singer Sinead O'Connor. We also view an odd video of Mitch McConnell freezing mid speech during a press conference which leads to a discussion on age and careers. Lastly, we discover how Florida water temperatures reached 100 degrees. Adam welcomes Actor & Author Ben McKenzie to discuss all things crypto, which Ben pinpoints as, “The greatest ponzi scheme in history”. Only a small percentage of crypto is real money, and a whopping 80% of people in the US never even dabbled in the crypto arena. Adam next welcomes Dr. Greg Hammer who is a physician, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine as well as an author. Dr. Hammer shares two specific types of happiness that people experience in life, and additionally he shares that in his professional career he's never seen such stressors before as he has the last several years affecting humanity. Also, our brains are wired towards a negativity bias, where only 20% of our thoughts are positive. They also discuss other keys to happiness concerning the 10,000 hour rule, patience and hardwork, delayed gratification, and more.

Hackers over the years change after a while. They aren’t always hellbent on causing chaos and destruction. In fact, in a lot of cases, most hackers tend to change dramatically once they have been arrested. One example is Kevin Poulsen. It only took one time for Poulsen to change his ways. The instance involved him hacking into all of the phone lines that were going to a Los Angeles radio show. The reason? In 1990, the radio show KIIS-FM held a contest where the 102nd caller would win a Porsche 944 S2. Though Kevin technically won said Porsche, police were suspicious and found that he won the prize illegitimately. When they went to capture Poulsen, he fled and went underground as a fugitive. Eventually, police captured him in April 1991. It wasn’t until 1994 though when Poulsen was sentenced for his crime. There were seven counts of conspiracy, fraud, and wiretapping which caused him to spend five years in a federal penitentiary, and was banned from using a computer or the internet for 3 years after his release. This was the first person in United States history to be banned from the internet for a period of time and to serve it. Chris Lamprecht received the same punishment, but he was still in jail while Poulsen was free and serving his ban sentence. What happened after Poulsen was done prison was reform entirely. He moved away from hacking entirely to now being a journalist. He first found work at SecurityFocus where he started to write news on hacking and security in the early 2000s. Despite this news being late to the market, SecurityFocus News became well-known within the industry. So much so that Symantec acquired that section later on. Even the mainstream press picked up Poulsen’s articles and research. Because of this, this solidified Poulsen as a quality writer. This amongst other things helped Poulsen jump into freelance writing and worked for various companies. Of note was his work with Wired News and now The Daily Beast. Since then, Poulsen has been crucial in revealing information about particular people. Some of his work has led to captures of various criminals as well. In October 2006, Poulsen’s work on MySpace managed to capture 744 users on MySpace who were registered as sex offenders. In June 2010, Poulsen reported the initial story of Chelsea Manning being arrested. He also published the logs of Manning’s chats with Adrian Lamo pertaining to WikiLeaks. Poulsen’s work and his life story to this point echoes similar themes to various hackers I’ve talked about before. Not all hackers resort to a life of crime after they’ve been caught and released. In many cases, hackers use their strengths to do good and to contribute to the society as a whole. Remember this moving forward with the many hackers out there in the world. Sometimes they need guidance and maybe a rude wake-up call.

R.U. Sirius (Editor-In-Chief of the new Transhumanist Magazine called H+ as well as writer, talk show host, and cyberculture icon) is today's featured guest. R.U. Sirius tells how Timothy Leary (his friend and fellow cyberculture activist) helped him trick William Gibson (the reclusive author of the seminal cyberpunk novel Neuromancer) into providing them with an interview for Mondo 2000 (the cyberculture magazine of which R.U. Sirius was editor and co-founder). He also talks about his work with Bruce Sterling (SF author and cyberculture leader); his candidacy for president in 2000; how the decline of print magazines is opening up the possibility that the new transhumanist magazine H+ may become a print magazine; and he accepts an invitation from me (your host) to do two personal appearnces inside the virtual world of Second Life. And somewhere in the middle of all this he finds time to talk about technological enhancements to our IQ and mood; the accuracy of Ray Kurzeil's time-line; artificial intelligence; diminishing privacy; biotechnology; Amazon's Kindle; virtual reality; and why molecular manufacturing might become the magic bullet to end scarcity, increase health and extend human longevity. Hosted by Stephen Euin Cobb, this is the December 24, 2008 episode of The Future And You. [Running time: 51 minutes] R.U. Sirius (who was born Ken Goffman) may be best known as co-founder and the original Editor-In-Chief of Mondo 2000 Magazine from 1989–1993. He was Editor-In-Chief of Axcess magazine in 1998, and GettingIt.com from 1999-2000. He was also chairman and candidate in the 2000 U.S. presidential election for The Revolution Party; which had a platform that was a mixture of libertarianism and liberalism. He has been a regular columnist for Wired News and the San Francisco Examiner, a contributing writer for Wired and Artforum International. And he has written for Time, Esquire, Rolling Stone and many other publications. Altogether, he has written several hundred articles and essays. News Items in this episode include: [1] Review of Robot Magazine. A glossy, full-color, 80 page-thick magazine crammed with articles about how to make robots, program robots, where to get robot parts, and what happened at all the latest robot competitions. [2] Kim Stanley Robinson will be in Second Life for an open forum discussion on Saturday, January 17, 2009. Beginning at Noon Pacific Time, it will be hosted by my friend Sophrosyne Stenvaag as part of her series of open forum discussions with people who are shaping the future, entitled Sophrosenye's Saturday Salon. [3] I attended my first baby shower inside Second Life. On December 14, 2008 Giulio Prisco (in Spain) threw the shower for Amara Graps (in Denver). Photos I took are on my Flickr page.  

R.U. Sirius (writer, editor, talk show host, and cyberculture icon) is today's featured guest. As Editor-In-Chief of a new magazine called H+ (which is written by transhumanists, for transhumanists) he describes how he was recruited, his goals for its future, and admits (possibly for the first time) that he is a transhumanist and has been one, possibly his whole life. Timothy Leary (who he recruited as a regular writer for Mondo 2000) in the 1980s, he points out, wrote about and promoted many ideas that today are widely considered transhumanist in nature. He suggests that although Timothy Leary did not describe himself as one, he might be considered an early transhumanist. He also answers the host's question: How many of your articles, over the years, have been rejected because they were too controversial? And: if human longevity is developed, how will carrying our sometimes controversial reputations for centuries change our lives? He also talks about his expectations concerning artificial intelligence and the Singularity. Hosted by Stephen Euin Cobb, this is the December 17, 2008 episode of The Future And You. [Running time: 49 minutes] H+ magazine is available worldwide as a free download in PDF format. The first issue of is out. Your host has read it, and enjoyed it very much.
