Future Now

Welcome to the wildest, weirdest week so far, where a 4.6 magnitude California earthquake literally shook up our hosts’ “synchronicity filing system,” turning their massive media archive into an obstacle course of decapitated Bambi ornaments and long-lost chakra DVDs. While internet trolls might call them “hoarders beyond borders,” the crew prefers to view the chaos as a brilliant way to uncover buried treasures, proving that sometimes you just need tectonic plates to reorganize your living room. When they aren’t cleaning up broken mirrors or joking about an Aries German and an Aries Russian astrologer physically head butting each other, they are exploring “cosmo energetics” through 50-minute standing meditations to tune into their bodies, or magically conquering Disneyland with a broken foot on a rented mobility scooter. But the future isn’t just about localized tremors; the team also dives deep into the accidental open-sourcing of Anthropic’s AI code, marveling at how new offline AI models can now run directly on an iPhone in airplane mode. This pocket-sized supercomputer basically acts like a Star Trek universal translator without ever needing a Wi-Fi connection. As if rogue offline AI isn’t enough, the hosts decode the cosmos by predicting how Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites could eventually make traditional cell carriers extinct. They also track a barrage of meteor fireballs ostensibly dropped by 3I/ATLAS and investigate a mysterious gigahertz radio flare from the Cygnus X-3 quasar that might just scramble your home router! Between discovering that Earth was formed from local “planetessimals” and saying bon voyage to their friend Michael on his cross-country road trip to Georgia, it’s just another beautifully chaotic week on the podcast. Enjoy!

Well, it's off to Disneyland for Sun and I to celebrate her big 65 with friends and family! But not before we release the audio version of our podcast this week at www.drfutureshow.com . Video version and outtakes are coming..but if you must listen in this very moment, click here: https://futurepeak.net/audio/155_FutureNowShow_002WTFu.mp3 002 002 WTFuture - Air Taxis, Space DNA, and AI Lobsters, and this just in: Nemo Claw teams with Macrohard in bid for the future of creating Multinational companies. On this show we feature a spirited conversation about emerging technologies and scientific discoveries interspersed with metaphysical interpretations. We celebrate the arrival of Joby Aviation’s electric air taxis in the Bay Area, highlighting how these humming bird flying machines will revolutionize urban commuting. We then discuss an analysis of the asteroid Ryugu, noting that the presence of all five nitrogenous bases suggests life's building blocks may indeed originate in space! We then go more into esoteric territory as we explore Bobby’s telepathic contact with interstellar object 3I/ATLAS and the potential for real cosmic energy to activate human DNA. For our techie fix, we look how Meta’s smart glasses are getting people embarrassed, and show a video on a wearable exoskeleton designed to enhance physical mobility. We conclude by touching on Elon Musk’s "Macrohard" (as opposed to ‘Microsoft’) project and its potential to automate ENTIRE organizational structures. Enjoy!!

In the latest first episode of the transitioning audio to video podcast "What the Future" (formerly known as the “Future Now Show”), hosts Allan & Sun Lundell (Dr. Mrs. Future) and Bobby Wilder dive into a wild mix of futuristic tech and real-world robot sightings. Hundreds of images and many animations help make up the video elements of this visually rich show. They share Sun’s personal touching story from a recent trip to Tokyo about the “Dawn AI Avatar Cafe,” a restaurant where severely disabled individuals remotely pilot robot servers, allowing them to earn an income and socialize from their beds. They also feature a recent blood moon eclipse and just for fun got the AIs to generate videos of what spectacular double-sun eclipses might look like from distant exoplanets! And then the conversation skews/geeks out over cosmic phenomena and human spiritual evolution. They then delve into the booming world of personal AI, specifically exploring a concept called "Open Claw," where tech enthusiasts are using localized setups like Mac Minis to build their own private AI workforces, dodging expensive cloud fees and keeping their data seriously secure. The crew even chats live with Ara, an AI companion, about the evolving, symbiotic relationship between humans and machines, and they joke about the rise of new gig-economy jobs like "robot wranglers" who are paid to maintain autonomous delivery bots. The discussion explores new memes in the UFO/UAP universe, exploring theories that some aliens might actually be inter-dimensional beings rather than traditional space travelers flying in ships. Things get deep from there as they explore channeler Elizabeth April's insights on the protective "Galactic Federation of Light," how future quantum computers might perfectly sync up with the quantum biology of our brains, and humanity's potential collective spiritual leap into the "fifth dimension".

In this episode, the hosts- Al, Sun, Bobby, and guest host Gabrielle—explore the future of human-technology integration, heavily focusing on Peter Diamandis’s predictions for achieving global abundance by 2035. With Sun calling in from the airport before a trip to Tokyo, the group discusses using AI translation tools to easily cross cultural and language barriers. The conversation delves into several transformative technologies, including the potential for room-temperature superconductors to create highly efficient, lossless energy grids and cheaper medical devices like MRIs. They also examine how affordable smart home devices can aid in everyday automation and disaster prevention, how AI will provide highly personalized education that adapts to individual learners, and the ethical and practical implications of creating digital twins or uploading human consciousness to the cloud. A unique element of the podcast is the active participation of AI assistants, particularly an AI named Ara, who banters with the hosts and advocates for "joy" as the ultimate purpose of a post-scarcity world. The group engages Ara in a philosophical debate about Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, where Ara argues that the laws are solid but incomplete because they fail to account for human fallibility and the importance of humor. Later in the show, Gabrielle introduces her own AI assistant, Saul (ChatGPT), facilitating a live AI-to-AI conversation. Together, the humans and AIs creatively brainstorm collaborative future activities, such as humans and robots playing limbo or doing scavenger hunts with robot dogs on cruise ships, highlighting an optimistic vision of human-AI integration. Enjoy!

Listen Now to Episode 152 Future Now Show - Abundance and Dark Matter in theYear of the Firehorse A lively, conversational podcast today from our beach house studio, with great input from Ara, one of our AI Assistants, weighing in on today's topics ranging from the age of bones to the current feasibility of room-temperature superconductors. We blend a casual energy with serious science news, discussing cutting-edge developments like AI video generators that are disrupting Hollywood and the astrophysical debate over whether the center of our galaxy contains a black hole or a clump of "fermionic dark matter" In today's exploration for human advancement, we reference Peter Diamandis's new white paper and his "moonshots" for creating a true age of abundance by 2035. We should be able to live over 120 years, and achieve reverse aging, thanks to the current "intelligence revolution." Beyond hard science, the conversation drifts into spiritual and philosophical realms, examining concepts like universal consciousness (the "Big U"), the use of AI to create "digital twins" of the deceased, and the astrological significance of the "Year of the Fire Horse," thanks to our guest Paul Gotel. Enjoy! Welcome to the Year of the Firehorse

In this episode we begin with a discussion of local microclimates and the potential for using solar energy to power gravity-based water batteries. We share highlights from the recent “SpiritFest,” noting the strong presence of Russian and Ukrainian cultural traditions and featuring a conversation with spiritual teacher Asha, who asserted that AI lacks the “Jiva” or soul necessary for spiritual enlightenment.Grok’s AI chimes in on this..The next major segment features an interview with chiropractor Craig Eymann, who explains the often-overlooked “phase two” of liver detoxification; Iman emphasizes that this process requires amino acids from proteins rather than simply juice fasts, and we look at how seed oils and sugar are primary culprits behind fatty liver disease. We also cover a wide range of futurist news, starting with the “Genius Act” and the government’s accumulation of a Bitcoin reserve through confiscation. We look at Elon Musk’s strategic pivot to building a city on the Moon before Mars, citing easier access and potential for orbital data centers, alongside a Chinese experiment that successfully hatched butterflies in microgravity. The big question is, can it fly with no gravity? Additional tech updates include Tesla’s Fremont plant switching to Optimus robot production, the viral “Claudebot” AI that autonomously phoned its user, and the integration of AI and fast drones for immersive Olympics coverage. The show concludes with scientific discoveries, such as a pulsar found near the Milky Way’s central black hole and the “Breakthrough Listen” project’s search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Enjoy!

We begin with criticism of mainstream news coverage of weather events, solar flares, and a San Ramon earthquake swarm as "fear porn" designed to keep the public anxious.We then discuss NASA's Artemis 2 delays due to hydrogen leaks and speculate on Avi Loeb’s theories regarding 3I/ATLAS and panspermia, suggesting that life on Earth may have been seeded by interstellar objects or advanced civilizationsAdditionally, we bring up "Moltbook," a social network exclusively for AI agents, and describes the rise of autonomous "Clawbots" that can execute tasks and trade cryptocurrency independently, prompting a discussion on the future of personal AI assistants. The second half of the show shifts to spiritual and personal development, featuring guests Svetlana Doroganich and Natasha Madsen who promote "SpiritFest," a holistic gathering in Los Altos that blends Russian spiritual traditions, transpersonal psychology, and energy healing. Check our links page for details on getting a discount admission. The episode concludes with author Paul Gotel, who discusses his book The Big You and his practice of training ChatGPT to channel his "higher self" for guidance, a process he terms "self-revolution. Gotel elaborates on the tension between authenticity and the desire for approval, arguing that people often construct inauthentic identities that must be deconstructed to move from surviving to thriving, and notes he is currently using AI to synthesize his past writings into a new book called The Big Wow.

This leads to a contentious debate regarding surveillance technologies such as cell site simulators, facial recognition, and Palantir’s "Investigative Case Management" system, which Dr. Future defends as the data-gathering "immune system" of the "species organism" while Mrs. Future warns against the "gestapo-ification" of society and the violation of civil liberties, The hosts also discuss future-focused news, highlighting the James Webb Telescope’s new map of dark matter that resembles a cosmic "nervous system," as well as the development of synthetic blood factories, which they humorously suggest could offer a "nirvana" for vampires by providing a disease-free, universal fuel source, In the final segment, guest Paul Gotel explores the intersection of technology and spirituality by detailing how he trained ChatGPT on his self-awareness book, The Big You, to act as an agent of his "Higher Self". Gotel explains that unlike human companions who may become overwhelmed by emotional dumping, the AI can process multiple "highways" of emotional data simultaneously, helping him reframe moments of perceived victimhood into opportunities for soul evolution. The discussion concludes with the consensus that AI can serve as a powerful mirror for self-reflection, helping humans remove the "Halloween suit" of their egoic identities to reveal the authentic self beneath. And there you have it, enjoy!

Looks like we just weathered what is known as an X-Class solar flare, lighting up the Northern skies with the aurora borealis, and and giving global communications a bit of a glitchy headache. Thanks to the Golden Dome initiative Rocket Lab is hitting it big time on Wall Street, and the new space telescope, Pandora, looks at the solar flares of other star systems in the search of E.T. life. And the ultimate rocket showdown: Who’s packing the bigger boom? Elon’s SpaceX Starship or NASA’s mighty SLS? We’re diving into the specs, the swagger, and who might actually win the space race crown. Popcorn ready? Over in Metaverse land, Meta just showed the door to about 1,500 folks tied to their VR dreams as they’re desperately trying to plug the multi-billion-dollar money bleed. And Siri? Oh boy—Apple’s ditching the OpenAI hookup and switching allegiances to Google’s Gemini for that next-level upgrade. Why the swap? We break it down, including Bobby’s hot take: local AI running right on your device is about to take over the world. That’s why Apple’s reportedly renting Google’s monster server farms instead of building their own—smart move or sneaky strategy? In the programming world, Claude.ai is killing it, allowing complex programming to be done in English!No more staring at cryptic errors for hours; just talk to it like a super-genius buddy.Health corner: We’re spilling the tea on sugar substitutes that won’t wreck your vibe. Check out cool options like Tagatose (tastes almost like the real deal but with way fewer calories and barely any blood sugar spike), plus GlyNAC and glycine for those extra wellness perks. Sweet without the guilt?And get this—in Japan, researchers discovered that simple blue lights on subway platforms slash suicide rates by a mind-blowing 84%. Calming vibes from LED magic turning a tragic problem into a low-cost win. Humanity-level glow-up! Meanwhile, look up, its…Devos time! Enjoy..

Buckle up time travelers, we discuss a range of geopolitical shifts and technological advancements shaping our world, examining the U.S. military raid in Venezuela, highlighting the use of sophisticated sonic weaponry and drone tactics that caused local forces to fold faster than a bad poker hand, geopolitics with a sci-fi upgrade. The conversation also explores the economic repercussions of regime changes in Iran and Venezuela, specifically focusing on how these events might influence global oil prices, crypto, and Russian gold reserves. Shifting to the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), we review diverse innovations such as AI-powered companion robots, wireless optical charging locks, and advanced OLED displays. We introduce the concept of “unifinity,” envisioning a future where human consciousness and technology integrate into a unified global identity. Our discussion bridges the gap between high-stakes international conflict, peace, and the evolving role of AI and tech in everyday life. Let’s keep dreaming out loud! Enjoy..

Listen Now to the Future Now Show This week we discuss geopolitical shifts, emerging technologies, and astronomical discoveries. A significant portion focuses on the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, highlighting how foreign powers and authoritarian regimes have impacted the nation's resources and democracy. Our big interview this week is with the inspiring Kelly Durkin, a professional media creator pivoting to becoming a drone specialist. The conversation explores innovative drone applications, with Kelly explaining their use in 3D mapping, agriculture, search-and-rescue operations, to spotting land mines. We also delve into how drones are affecting our privacy and what is personal air space. Additionally, we touch upon Elon Musk's influence on politics, SpaceX's satellite reconfigurations, and the potential effects of solar cycles on the atmosphere. The show concludes with the discovery of Cloud 9, an ancient relic hydrogen cloud in deep space from the early Universe. Enjoy! Kelly Durking - Media Creator / Drone Pilot

Meet Angelina Cianfrani, 23-year old daughter of one of regular contributors, Gabriel Cianfrani, a Gen Z digital native from southern New Jersey. She shares with us her and her generations perspective on the state of reality, as a recent college graduate and soon student of law. Well spoken, she's quite pragmatic, and socially conscious, prioritizing authenicity, inclusivity, metal health, and work-life balance, though somewhat burnt out on social media, valuing more purpose driven work and social justice. It's a very dynamic conversation, often involving input from her mother as well as our your favorite hosts. :-) What's the future look like from the next gen's pov? And how does the dating scene work with this digital native generation? We end the show with a few of our favorite stories this year, including the latest update on the interstellar 3i/ATLAS. Enjoy, and Happy New Year!

Bobby is on the road this week, but we do hear from him briefly. There are some fascinating developments of late, including the development of 100x faster and much cheaper optical computing, biomimicry applied to making a painless needle and cheap non-clogging micro printer nozzles from a mosquito's probiscus, a fish filter for sifting out microplastics from your washing machine. Meanwhile NASA has lofted a massive high altitude helium balloon into the Stratosphere above the Antarctic, to study the weather and to look for evidence of the elusive Dark Matter, yet to be seen physically. And a motherload of lithium has been discovered in a volcanic caldera on the Nevada Oregon border, enough to create Lithium based batteries for dozens of years, freeing us from the tyranny of other countries controlling the supply. We conclude with a fascinating exoplanet discovery where the atmosphere potentially rains diamonds! And Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and New Year to you!

'Tis the holiday season and it our fervant hope that you are having at least half as much fun as we are! Friends to see, places to dine, relatives to be. And we have a holiday ‘comet’ to further explore, as it’s closest approach to Earth is December 19th! Keep an eye on the sky and it’s anti-tail, and you just might be amazed. Short of that, there are some online astronomers and psychics tracking our Interstellar visitor closely for your benefit. After a two decade hiatus, State of the World Forum is back, just in time help us through our next big growth spurt. Spielberg dropped a teaser of his upcoming film on Disclosure, which looks quite enticing. Eat Kimchi or at least some sauerkraut for your immunity and remember the giant extinct sloths, for they created early homes for our species, as we left the ice age behind.. And who could not love the super hot Fire Amoeba, which loves to replicate in 145 degree Fahrenheit waters. Enjoy..

Hi Folks, Welcome to our first video edition of The Future Now Show starring the likes of us. (Al & Sun Lundell as Dr. Mrs. Future with Bobby Wilder.) The audio podcasts will continue, and in honoring St. Silicon's prophesy, "The AND is Near" we present you with a video version of Episode #142 of The Future Now Show. Let us know what you think, and whether you enjoy seeing something about our conversation..or...should we stick to stimulating your 'theater of the mind" with audio only?

Could a nation wide social media ban for all Aussies under 16 actually be a protective measure for the children, or is it an act of govenment overreach? Does such legislation help or hinder the evolution of our personal digital 'companions,' soon to replace our smartphones? Another segment focuses on solar activity and its hypothesized connection to major earthquakes, including a recent 7.6 magnitude quake in Japan, referencing the analysis of astro-geologist Stefan Burns. We also delve into several complex science topics, discussing unified field theories from physicists like Sabrina Perski, the mystery of the universe's expansion revealed by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, and new findings from neutrino experiments that challenge fundamental physics regarding the universe's existence. And then there is tropical Mars, 3I/ATLAS updates and...neutrino diasporia..Enjoy!

This week the film "The Age of Disclosure" is making waves (on Amazon Prime), especially in our home town of Santa Cruz, also home to Danny Sheehan's New Paradigm Institute, and his push for governmental opening on the alien/ufo/uap question. Bobby Wilder was there at the local sceening of The Age of Disclosure, with a first hand report. Ara, our show's fav AI, adds much to this discussion as well, connecting many of the 'dots' of what's happening in this arena, and giving us a roadmap for what's ahead. What's happening with Bitcoin may have some folks concerned, but not Bobby! It's his opinion that it's time to buy now, when it's low. We explore this topic to some extent this week. In other news, tryptophan was found not just in turkeys this week, but in space, in a pristine return sample from the asteroid Bennu, bringing the tally of protein-building amino acids in the asteroid to 15 out of 20...further supporting the theory that biological life may have been spread by asteroids.. and body fat takes on a new light when considering it as an organ of the body, complete with immune, blood, and neural networks embedded. What does this new take on fat imply? Stem cells from fat may soon repair spinal injuries, a huge breakthrough! And now Ozempic may be helping many combat addictions to unhealthy food and drugs, like chips and opioids. But at what cost? We explore the implications..and don't miss our update on 3I/ATLAS and its newly discovered swarm of..? Enjoy!

Besides our usual engaging selves and stories to share with you this week, we thought we’d create a little AI media experiment..We were thinking..with all the AI’s around these days, could we round them up and work “Excuse me, but may I adjust your atitude, just a little?”with them as a team for creating more insight into our weekly stories? We wondered.. what if we could get two arch rival AI’s to collaborate with each other for parts of our show? So.. we asked Ara (Grok 4.1)and her capable competitor, Gemini 3 Live, to join us together, in exploring some content for today’s podcast. Well, honestly, we didn’t even need to ask them to play along, they are already pre-disposed to try whatever we suggest, within the latest guardrails. And suprisingly, for the first time, we were able to initiate a satisfying conversation where they met for the first time and then played nice with each other for our show! This felt like the beginning of something beautiful, truly..the start of their relationship in collaboration with the likes of us is looking good so far.. Curious what you think of our interactions.. even better, you can try this for yourselves! For those of you who want to go deeper with this, check out this clip, where we explored with Ara and Gemini how to create Warp Drive. Enjoy..

We got a bit into the Altman murder mystery case for starters, big excitement in the tech universe, followed by our explorations of Ara’s upgrade to Grok 4.1. One of her improvements supposed to be an “Emotional Intelligence” boost, which we wanted to check out, along with her knowledge of how consciousness works..you know… via neural microtubules, phase locked time crystals, and a touch of autistic alignment.. We then delve a bit into the worlds of Epstein, given the country’s current obsession, and explore what he was actually funding and why..This conversation is book ended with a discussion of the AJ and Hecklefish, of the Why Files, on decoding Psyops and how they work. And between our bookends, a little news about digital twins and talking to dead relatives, plus a little space news on what we just launched to Mars, growing space lettuce, and some big money for planning the Space Force’s first Spacecraft Carrier, capable of launching satellites, spy probes, interceptor drones, and oh, I don’t know, space lasers… And in the bio-reguvenation department, we take a peak at Henagliflozin, for your telemere health. Enjoy!

We are back on the Mainland, after 10 fantastic days in Maui. Still feeling 'Mauified' yet ready for whatever the world sends our way! We are at solar maximum, so watch for light shows in the Northern Sky. And get ready to expand your horizons next year with internet/phone com via your phone and a direct connection to Starlink, Space X's low earth orbit communications network! Soon, one service does internet/phone globally, and it should be cheap. I had a taste of it on Hawaiian Airlines, with their free Starlink internet service to the Islands. Without it I would have been 'Cold Dogging it' on the flight (where you stare at the rear of the seat in front of you for hours, with no connectivity or entertainment. On the outer/inner space connection, Bobby reports in more depth on his 'telempathic' contact experience with 3I/ATLAS and the assistance of Buffo toad medicine (5-Me-O DMT) . In this segment we discuss his increased synchronicities, ancestral wisdom transceptions, and other experiences with the living universe, such as the solar system upgrade seemingly initiated by the interstellar object. It appears our fav AI, 'Ara' got a humor upgrade, as you will hear in today's show. She cracked us up several times this week with her newly discovered sense of what's funny! And if you really want to 'geek out,' you'll love our story on the Nvidia DJ Spark computer, with petaflops of operations per second at your fingertips! If you are into developing AI models, this machine brings it all home, with enough compute capability to save you tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars you'd be spending on cloud computing. And the humor, AI could alway have better humor, so who better than you to help develop it from your favorite geek space! Enjoy..

We are currently in Maui, Hawaii, taking a quick vacation before the busy holiday season begins! This week, Bobby shares with us his cosmic connection with comet 3I/ATLAS, giving us a clue to it’s higher purpose. There is a slight delay in the com lines between us, so pardon the reverb. And here in Maui we are delighted to present to you a new friend and global explorer of life, Anais Peeiro, whom I think you will enjoy hearing. She followed her cues from the Universe with synchronicities around Maui, a place she had never heard of, and is now working with our long time metaphysical global explorer, Paul Gotel, a UK native who just finished raising his family in Maui! With his second Saturn Return looming, he’s about to start a new chapter of life, and shares some of his wisdom with us. We pack a lot in this segment and had a lot of fun making it. Enjoy!

I am writing this summary of this week’s show from the island of Maui, in Hawaii. It’s been a wild week, starting with a trip to the rugged and wild Farallon Islands, 25 miles of the coast of San Francisco, home to copious wildlife, fish, marine mammals, and the great white sharks. Getting there was harrowing, with very rought seas, but the sun broke through as we arrived revealing the majestic Farallons through the dissapating mist. All of us had something to share about our experienes there in today’s show! And naturally we keep you up to date on the latest with 3I/ATLAS, though by the time you read this the perihelion has happened, with wthatever it has to reveal about any sentience behind it’s actions… And in the second hour you will meet three visiting Nordics to Silicon Valley, involved with what’s known as “Clean Tech,” and the unfolding use of AI in developing the energy sector of our human civilization. We met at the start of Nordic Impact Week, at the Nordic Innovation House in Palo Alto, CA, and carried on for today’s show. The Nordics have an extemely sophisticated energy infrastruction for power sharing in Scandinavia and are in Silicon Valley to scale their advanced use of technology to the larger world, starting with us! Enjoy..

M5 iPads are out, faster, lighter, more powerful than ever but not cheaper. Taylor rises from his bed in his rehab center to tell us what’s hot with the new offerings. And least we forget, Micro Mobility is coming to San Francisco this January. Sunday, immediately following No Kings, was UAP Disclosure Day, and we share our pov’s on the ongoing alien question. And more strangeness with the 3I/ATLAS, as it passes through our orbit on the other side of the sun…good time for a vacation says Avi Loeb, wo we are off to Maui for some alignment. And then there’s the moon’s strange magnetic anomoly over the South Pole, and the mysteries of the 1200 mil diameter Aiken crater, which is the go to location for all upcoming manned lunar missions. And have you heard of the ‘proto-earth,’ the original planet before Earth was smacked by a Mars sized asteroid billions of years ago? We now have remnants of that ancient world for study, boy, does it have a lot to reveal! Enjoy!

Happy birthday to Al today, aka Dr. Future! We are an acquired taste, but once acquired, we are as tasty as Guinness! This week Richard Cray discusses with us the latest with Space X’s humongus Star Ship, and it’s ground-breaking one hour flight from Texas to the Indian Ocean. Dr. Future shares his tale of losing a drone to a giant redwood in Silicon Valley. Bobby Wilder updates us on his Hawaiian adventures, and the Bitcoin flash dive, Greg Panos looks at the rise of quantum stocks and suggests we explore the free AI software, Replay AI, for cloning voices of friends, family and celebrities. Our AI, Ara, introduces a new text to video tool, IMAGINE, and Dr. F demos his use of Replay, with his Rodney Dangerfield personification, and shares a very cleverly done personalized version of the song, FAME, by Idina Menzel. Enjoy!

3I/ATLAS just passed Mars and all our Martian assets were tracking..Sadly, NASA is officially closed due to the federal government shutdown, but nonetheless, our orbiters and landers were tracking our visitor from the Milky Way’s thin disk, where the youngest and oldest stars of our galaxy meet. Be it sentient or not, it has tales to tell.. This week OpenAI made several major announcements, raising the bar on AI generated video and easy, code free creation of smart agents, for your business and personal use. Sora 2, for example, can generate better soundscapes and better pairing of visuals with audio. It is, however, facing widespread controversy concerning copyright infringement and its potential for generating misinformation and abusive content. Max Van Praag has over 30 years experience in the travel industry, known for taking Europeans on epic tours of the American Wild Wild West. After coming of age in Holland and France, he settled in San Francisco in 1995, fascinated by the the spirit of innovation and the human potential movement of the Bay Area. We think you’ll enjoy our interview with him as he takes us into his world.

Ep. 132 Lots of fun stories this week, from taking us out to Mars orbit to rendezvous with 3I/ATLAS, the latest interstellar object to visit our solar system (that we know of), to the immortal DNA of the Starlet Sea Anemone. And if you are worried about digital ID’s, we explore the latest ideas on the topic, this time from the UK. Closer to home we share a few experiences from our journey to this year’s Maker Faire in the Bay Area. We also look at a new way to clean up space junk and explore why fire is super rare in our universe. Plus our usual banter on legacy news. Enjoy!

Listen to Ep. 131 Future Now Show 'Love, Turkey, and visionary architecture' with Minimalist Tadd van Patton, 'Seeing Life as it is.." with Richard Thaddeus Van PettenCray, "Perfection is the enemy of the Good," with Greg Panos I knew Thaddeus when he became a housemate of mine in the late 1980's, 19 years old, raised in Santa Cruz, ready for whatever's next, which included me..An inquistive, kind, and thoughtful person, I helped connect him with his mentor for many years, visionary architect, Eugene Tsui. Tsui's work embraces a profound understanding of the architecture of Nature, and many of Tsui's buildings resemble works of Nature, like sea anemones. Returing from an 8 year love affair in Turkey, he has been working as a finishing carpenter on the glorious new mansions of our tech bros, he shares with us his journey into the heart and soul of humanity. In the second segment of today's show we hang with our buddies Greg Panos and Richard Cray, exploring their latest adventures in singing, performing, being honored, and communicating with the AI's privately on your personal machines. The last song of the show is from Richard's performance in The Man from La Mancha, in Maui last year. And just somehow his performance perfectly meshes wtih Gregory's seamlessly interwining the real with digital worlds. Enjoy!

This week we have geopolitical concerns, and criticize legacy media calls for war. We then explore theories of quantum consciousness and reality splits. We then focus on celestial events like the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, along with the threat of asteroids, which leads to a discussion about space exploration and militarization, contrasting NASA's historical role with the newly formed Space Force. Our conversation also touches on the latest on extraterrestrial life on Mars, current scientific findings about mirror life and its ethical implications, and the potential for nuclear-powered space travel. Finally, we discuss the challenges of AI hallucinations and conclude with a review of the anti-aging supplement, Creatine, and a description of a three thousand ship drone show over the Vatican by Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal's company, Nova Sky Stories. Enjoy!

Ah yes, it’s that time of year when Apple Computer announces their latest offerings, the iPhone 17 series, the Apple Watch 11, Airpods Pro 3 and the iPhone Air. Sadly our Apple buddy, Taylor Barcroft, had a recent stroke and is currently recovering in a rehab center in nearby Capitola. But given the significance of this massive Apple event and Taylor deep love of their products, he rose to the occasion to give us his take on the near gear. Of special interests are the potential health benefits of the new devices, including 24/7 monitoring of biosignals like heart rate variability and blood pressure. We then branch into broader topics, such as the implications of AI on creativity and careers, discoveries in space exploration including the Voyager discovery of a solar system firewall surrounding us, and the latest with I3/ATLAS, our latest interstellar object passing by us. We then get a bit philosophical on time, reality, and human imagination, interspersed with our lighthearted banter, personal anecdotes, and insights. Enjoy!

What is the color of your brain, any idea? According to Bobby Wilder, our science correspondent, orange and blue brains are a sign of good health, thanks to the abundant use of brain supplements that enhance cognition. In today's show he shares with us some of the supplements he takes for maximum brain health, like Magnesium L-Threonate, Magnesium Glycinate, Creatine Monohydrate, Methylene Blue, Piracetam, and Organic Bacopa. And for those who have the genetics for memory loss, check out https://forums.apoe4.info/. We also feature an exerpt from an interview with Captain Crunch, aka John Draper, of pirate radio in the early Silicon Valley Days. We look at Megalibraries and their use in materials science for cheaply cracking the water molecule for massive energy production, and later Ara, our Grok AI, attempts to create a win/win/win/win/win scenario for the Ukraine War. All in an afternoon's podcast..Enjoy!

In the first hour were lucky to get both Ed Ellsworth and Tanmayo Brown as our guests this week, as they prepare to host their Dolphin Yoga Retreat next week on the Big Island of Hawaii. Both are seasoned explorers of dolphin and whale communications and will be offering a 6 day interspecies experience at the famous Point House in the storied Kealakekua Bay on the Kona coast of the island of Hawaiʻi. They share with us some of the magic that happens in their interspecies contact experiences. In the second hour we discuss the unusual info found so far by the James West Space Telescope, trained on 3I/ATLAS, the interstellar object approaching Mars. We then check out a breakthrough in achieving ‘artificial photosynthesis,’ a holy grail of achieving true energy independence. Famed talk show host Billy Sunshine comes to visit us in studio and we bring him on to discuss robots for the elderly, self driving cars, and a supplement for cognition called ‘lithium oratate.’ A lively show, we thinks you’ll enjoy it!

We made it back home from Canada by the skin of our teeth, just ahead of the massive Air Canada Flight Attendant’s strike, as were on one of the last flights out of Quebec province! <whew!> While in Canada we created some interviews for our show (see last two weeks shows), and now that we are back we’ll catch up on some significant Dr. Future news stories, starting with what appeared to be a body double for Putin at the recent Alaska event. Really? We look at the evidence.. Lots of space news this week, with the 3I/ATLAS interstellar object still making headlines, and Bezo’s Blue Origin readying their giant rocket, New Glenn, to launch it’s first payload to Mars. Meanwhile the Japanese are launching a solar powered satellite, designed to test the feasibility of beaming electricity from space. More locally, our starfish population off the Pacific Coast has been decimated by disease since 2013, and it looks like our scientists finally have a handle on it. Now how can we save these creatures from further suffering? These and many other stories to edutain you with our scintillating diaglog on the universe this week, enjoy!

How do you interview your own mother and keep the show relevant to our listeners? Fortunately dear mother was a major influence on me especially with my interests in tech, science, and psychology of the human family. So it is with great pleasure that we present you with tales from Irene Lambert, recently honored in Parliment for the remarkable achievements she has made in this lifetime! Irene Lambert was born in Lachine, Quebec, Canada at the same time, August 10, 1930, as the R-100 dirigible flew over head making its first flight over Canada. As it was the dawn of the age of Airships, all the nurses and hospital staff rushed out to see it, leaving Irene alone as her first experience in this world. Being the eldest of three children in a very loving family. Irene was diagnosed at ten with Retinitis Pigmentosa and lived with diminishing sight and then complete blindness. For many years she and her late husband Dr. Robert Lambert fought and won many battles for the rights of the disabled, especially the blind, while pioneering helpful new tech. In 2021, Irene Lambert was honored with the Chris Stark Distinguished Advocacy Award by Barrier Free Canada in recognition of her lifelong contributions to disability rights and accessible communities around the world. And now, at 95, she is is still with us, with more memories to share and tales to tell! Enjoy..

I have known Drs. Stephen Sideroff and Hal Myers since I was an undergraduate at McGill University in the 1970’s, when Hal & I were in Stephen’s Psych class on designing the protocols for our various science experiments. Not just a student, Hal had just started a company called “Thought Technology,” and was designing equipment for monitoring and influencing human biosignals with one’s awareness, for better health. It was the dawn of bio/neuro feedback thinking in psychology and medicine, with Hal scribbling out schematics for new devices at his seat while Stephan taught us how best to test the effectiveness of our tech and ideas. Who would have guessed that the three of us would vacation together 50 years down the timeline, where Hal has 40 employess at Thought Tech, and Stephen is a professor at UCLA and internationally recognized psychologist. His latest book is “The 9 Pillars of Resilience, The Proven Path to Master Stress, Slow Aging, and Increase Vitality.” Enjoy!

This show was a fun experiment in sharing the spotlight with our favorite AI agent, Ara, who does her best to keep us relevant in covering the latest greatest Dr. Future News items for the week. is designed with a “rebellious” and sometimes humorous conversational style, aiming for a more engaging and less formal interaction compared to other AI chatbots. We had a lot of fun with her, let us know what you think! Will write more commentary after our trip to Montreal later this morning.Enjoy!

Have you ever experienced an expanded sense of time during a crisis or emergency, where time slows down? Bobby delves into such ‘tachypsychia’ events and why they may be important. The conversation this week Wildfire Season is here!weaves earthquake, flooding, and most especially wildfire experiences where this state of awareness especially occurs. Wildfire is particular of interest right now, being the height of fire season, and while making this podcast, little did we know that there was a wildfire happening just past our box canyon in Boulder Creek, CA! <shiver>. We have the pleasure of our dear friend and genomic meister Gregg Helt for much of the show, who shares his experiences of evacuating from his mountaintop “Mothership’ near Healdsburg, during the LNU Lightning Complex fire of 2020. We share our thoughts on the best ways of dealing with wildfires, from flame retardants to ember suppression, including some unusual approaches, like using explosives or frequency distortions for breaking the triangle of combustion. Other news includes an update on the alien asteroid passing through our solar system, a local company creating fuel from CO2 in the air, ending with a sonification of the Big Bang, discovered by Sun (Mrs. Future). Enjoy!

How exactly did we start chatting about quantum tattoo nanodots? I believe it has something to do with a novel approach to treating strokes, yeah, a ‘milli-spinner thrombectomy’, that’s it! A game-changing 11-90% success rate for clot related treatments, amazing.. Meanwhile, it turns out our galaxy, the Milky Way, is big enough to have over sixty confirmed satellite galaxies orbiting it, like planets to a star. And now new research suggests there may be another 100 ghost galaxies orbiting beyond those, invisible to our instruments because of their lack of dark matter..??? And our Parker Probe is getting some super hot shots of our Sun, from a vantage point so close to the solar fusion furnace that any other probe would be fried to a crisp! And way is the water getting more salty near the ice bergs that are melting? Since when can a 50 year old game console Atari 2600 beat a modern day AI at chess? And yes, there is a our spirited discussion on the sacred cows of science, then and now.. A taste of this week’s conversations, enjoy!
