Plug directly into the mainframe of consciousness with Vision and Olivia MacDonell as they toggle between Ram Dass, AI, and the hidden wisdom of trees. What if being “no body” was the ultimate superpower? Is the universe just an ever-evolving matrix of electric information, where we’re all transistors with a few kinky wires? Question whether your Roomba is a secret philosopher and learn why the Quality of your connections (and your grooming routine) might just drive the cosmic algorithm forward. Empathy, ethics, electricity, and intentionality collide in this mind-exploding dialog where the real question is: Are you a Conductor, a Resistor or a Circuit Breaker? Tune in, Turn on, and Drop into the information flow.
