The Great FilterEscape To Mars: Moving Humanity Off PlanetImpact threats are the most certain of any extinction-level events. Yet, despite the warnings of hundreds of scientists - we continue to dawdle in both our search for alternative, extraterrestrial, homes and the development of technologies to get there. Let's take a really good look at this, shall we?"All civilizations become either spacefaring or extinct."Carl Sagan (unsourced)"Since, in the long run, every planetary society will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring - not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most...2021-10-1046 min

The Great FilterThe Education CatastropheOur children are the future, yet our willingness to invest in them dawdles and whimpers. With so much at stake - including our species' own survival - why have we chosen to ignore this problem?This episode takes a look at the motivations and bottlenecks surrounding this issue."It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self." -- Donald Woods Winnicott"Whether in the...2021-09-2752 min
The Great FilterGlobal Suicide - Part V: Can Star Trek Save Us?Science fiction often drives innovation. Star Trek, specifically, has inspired the computer and the cellular telephone among other modern miracles of science and technology. One aspect of Star Trek that has even had books written about it is the Star Trek economy. In this episode, we're talking about just that."The economics of the future is somewhat different. You see, money doesn't exist in the 24th century. The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity."-- Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart...2021-09-201h 00
The Great FilterGlobal Suicide - Part IV: Disorder & Dead PresidentsEntropy is a two-edged sword. It is our life-force; but if it accelerates and begins to runaway with our energy, it can become a death sentence. Our society has within itself a variety of entropy amplifiers that increase our system's entropy by orders of magnitude - warming the planet and wasting our hard work. If we don't get this fixed, these entropy amplifiers will truly spell our end."If your theory is found to be against the second law of theromodynamics, I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest...2021-09-131h 01

Meditation Podcast#49 Phantoms Between The Sounds - Thomas WrightPsychedelics are a class of hallucinogenic drugs whose primary effect is to trigger non-ordinary states of consciousness via serotonin 2A receptor agonism. This causes specific psychological, visual and auditory changes, and often a substantially altered state of consciousness. Perhaps this music will bring you to the same state.

The Great FilterGlobal Suicide - Part I: Carrots & Sticks"The first subcategory of suicide is of the more immediate sort; intentionally carried out by the conscious mind and typically focused on the cessation of pain.The second subcategory is of a more discrete and drawn-out sort; characterized by the misguided search for absolution, brought on by an unconscious sense of self-loathing, and silently executed just outside the victim's periphery.The real difficulty in saving humanity is not in ascertaining a diagnosis. Without question, our situation is of the second sort; the real difficulty is in discovering a reason for convincing each other that we...2021-08-1634 min

The STEMPrime ResearchcastEpisode #9 | Privacy, Security, And The Coming CatastropheThere is a hint of a more-than-plausible catastrophe on the horizon of future events. As technology races against itself at an exponentially accelerating pace, the struggle to propagate the necessary hardware and software throughout the population in order to maintain the security of our financial and personal data will become utterly untenable at some point. At this point, we will be forced to hand advancements over to machines because we will simply be incapable of keeping up with the pace of our own technology.
