2022-05-051h 31The Elderllama Podcast#022: Are Humans Undergoing Spontaneous Evolution?Could humans be undergoing spontaneous evolution? Spontaneous evolution is the idea coined by Bruce Lipton that organisms can rapidly adapt to shifts in the environment through epigenetic changes.

One could see how this could prove a powerful ability during times of great environmental change.
Do such times sound familiar? We humans have been exposed to a totally different environment in the past century. We are being bombarded with totally novel environmental cues. Historically speaking, the time...

The Elderllama PodcastElderllama Podcast #6: American News and Incentivized SubjectivityIn this short essay, I argue that, given their click bait, ad-centered business models, American news companies are heavily swayed by socioeconomic and political forces. I propose that these companies be insulated from the forces of economy and of public opinion in order to remove them from the thrall of incentivized subjectivity. Questions for you: Are our news sources, as Americans, serving us? Do the economic incentives of clicks and viewer counts represent a conflict of interest? What are the consequences of American masses being informed by subjective sources? Comment your thoughts.

In other words, is consciousness separate from the physical universe? In this short episode, I make the argument that, just as there is a pool of elements in the universe that we complex beings borrow from to make our bodies, there is a pool of consciousness that we borrow from to make our minds.
