Even though the Japanese moon lander kind of crashed, it is still sort of functional..better than nothing! Robots are making their way into society, but not without some issues from the street..Obelisks-a new kind of life smaller than viruses than live within microbes..

This week we covered the “Spirit Fest,” a gathering of mostly Russian families in the Bay Area interested in mind/body/spirit aspects of life.  In a way it was reminiscent of the great Whole Life Expos of the 1980’s, yet very different in that most of the workshops were based on traditions from Russia and conducted in Russian. It was relatively small in size, with a few hundred folks in attendance including, I might add, many very beautiful women. There was evolution and change in the air, a good feeling! It was a day filled with workshops, meditations, tantric practices, music, dance, and mind-blowing transformational experiences .

We were guests of Svetlana Doroganich, a psychologist who had trained with Stanislav Grof, M.D., famous for his pioneering work in LSD Psychotherapy. In this week’s show, you will meet several of the festival’s presenters, including Svetlana, Dennis Zaika on cosmic energy, and Nikita with Alexaner, pioneers in the integration of spirit and psilocybin. Enjoy!

Folks behind “Spirit Fest”

Listen to 38 Future Now with Alma

Robots are a theme this week, with humanoid robots soon to be coming en masse from China, Japan, and the US..Are we ready for this?  And for something completely different, we speak with Alma and friends from their beautiful ranch on native Ohlone lands in the hills of  Morgan Hill, near San Jose and Santa Cruz, CA.  Alma speaks of their ranch as being a place for healing, and of connecting with the Earth, the Universe, and each other, as we face the challenges of our times. They plan on holding events regularly on the full and new moons coming up, and offer sweat lodges, yoga, plant healings, and spearhead discussions for realigning and unifying humanity into a more holistic unity consciousness, essential for creating heaven on earth.  We had a delightful connection with the folks there, which we think you  will enjoy!

A nice solid talk show this week, with lots of check-ins from our regular irregulars and lots of good stories to think about and chew on.  It appears the Russians wil be the first to have shot a feature film in space aboart the ISS.  And NASA’s latest craft, LUCY, will be probing the outer reaches of the asteroid belt, with particular interest in the giant Trojan rocks, one of which may have been the cause of extinction of the dinosaurs, 67 million years ago.  And naturally all of us had comments about ‘Captain Kirk’ in space this last week..Taylor Barcroft gives us his update on the big Apple Computer announcements this week. Hint: the new MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip is an evolutionary leap, a game changer..

We also hear from Grace, the first android robot with a bedside manner with nurse assistant training, the UAE success in generating rain with drones, a significant advancement in portable fission reactors, and a discussion on mind control vs mind liberation.  Enjoy!

Update on Artificial Intelligence with AI researchers Drs. Eliot Handelman, Andie Sigler and Casey X

Listen Now to Dr. Future Show 2.21.2017

With all the talk these days about bringing jobs back to America, and Bill Gates talking about taxing robots, we catch up with our favorite Artificial Intelligence researchers from Canada. Drs. Eliot Handelman and Andie Sigler, with their Cartoon Network associate, Casey X, give us an update on their latest thinking about AI.  What do humans do if smart robots are doing all the work?  Eliot suggests our species become more focused on creativity, fostering the divine spark within us, something the robots cannot grasp or conceive of as yet. Andie suggests we see the rise of the machines as an extension rather than of foe of ourselves. The question of jobs and education is broached as well by Mrs. Future, who helps in the elucidatation of these topics with our erudite (and fun) guests. Enjoy!
