    Is Tech Causing Human Speciation? Drs. M.S. DeLay & A. Bendebury, DSPod #238 Apr 04, 2024

    Get your DEMYSTICON 2024 tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/demysticon-2024-tickets-727054969987 This is our second week on the road and we're broadcasting from uber-sunny Joshua Tree, California. Today we start out with the observation that a dominant faction of the techno-futurist community seems to believe that if our civilization maximizes intelligence, everything will be just fine in the end. We intuitively balk at this promise - and in general, we are skeptical at the lack of vision about what that future might look like. To understand this belief we have to understand what is meant by "intelligence." Then we have to consider the alternatives. We look at the evolution of this dream/nightmare from the earliest days of computer science through the lenses of sci-fi authors like Bradbury & PKDick up through a recent JRE interview with Ray Kurzweil.

    Is Water the Dark Matter of Biology? Dr. Michael Hughes, DSPod #237 Mar 31, 2024
    Show notes

    Get your DEMYSTICON 2024 tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/demysticon-2024-tickets-727054969987 Today we are hanging out with our friend Dr. Michael Hughes, a post-doctoral fellow at St. Jude's Research Hospital in Memphis. Michael has a long history of trying to understand the role that water plays in fundamental biological operations from structural assembly to diseases like Alzheimers and Prion disorders. Presently, he is hard at work on a biological theory of everything where water plays out the role of central actor in biological processes from form to consciousness. Our conversation today begins with Michael's journey into the water rabbit hole, exploring the strange way that water structures itself within cells. We work toward an understanding of water as a photo-electrically, an electro-statically sensitive molecule capable of mechanically altering cellular function in response to conscious and external signals. We hope to have Michael back to explore a mutual fascination with the historic interface of spirituality and science by way of Rudolph Steiner and Western esotericism.

While we're on the road we've decided to take a moment each week to review and articulate our own insights the past year's podcast conversations. In our first On Tour Solo Edition we're examining how a theorist's metaphysics shape their inquiry. We establish metaphysics as the underlying assumptions that allow for the logical processing of a natural phenomenon. We see how several of our guests have differed in metaphysics, particularly with respect to fundamental physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.

    Are the Pyramids Made of Synthetic Stone? - Dr. Michel Barsoum, DSPod #235 Mar 24, 2024

    Get your DEMYSTICON 2024 tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/demysticon-2024-tickets-727054969987 Dr. Michel Barsoum is a materials scientist at Drexel University who is the champion of a controversial theory about the great pyramids of Giza, which says the pyramids were not fully carved from natural stone, but were cast from a geopolymer concrete mixture. For decades, Egyptologists have dismissed the notion that the pyramids incorporated any human-made cement-like materials. But Barsoum's team at Drexel University has uncovered startling new evidence from advanced microscopy analysis of pyramid samples. We talk to him about becoming entranced with the deep history of Egypt, the process of determining the true nature of a stone, and the open questions about this lost civilization that keep him up at night. What if these discoveries are enough to reshape our understanding of just how advanced and ingenious the ancient Egyptian builders were?

    Is Quantum Spookiness the Result of a 300 Year Old Rivalry? - Dr. Helen De Cruz, DSPod #234 Mar 21, 2024
    Show notes

    Get your DEMYSTICON 2024 tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/demysticon-2024-tickets-727054969987 In this episode we are exploring the origins of the metaphysics that underpin the modern approach to a scientific understanding of nature with Dr. Helen De Cruz, who is the Danforth Chair in the Humanities at Saint Louis University. Professor De Cruz' research focuses on philosophy of cognitive science and philosophy of religion, with an eye for historic progressions through ideologies across the ages. In her own words, she is guided by the following question: "We spend what seem on the face of it outlandish amounts of time and energy on these pursuits, which appear to be inessential in keeping us alive in the struggle for survival and reproduction. Why do we make life even more complicated than it already is?" We aim this line of inquiry at understanding the state of today's modern physical conception of the universe: a highly mathematized, often paradoxical interpretation of fundamental material reality.

    Did Newton & Einstein Get Gravity & Inertia All Wrong? - Dr. André Assis, DSPod #233 Mar 17, 2024

    This is our second conversation with esteemed physics professor, Dr. Andrê Koch Torres Assis. Following our earlier discussion of Weber's electrodynamics, we now move into Professor Assis' other passion: Machian dynamics. Mach is perhaps one of the most well-known behind-the-scenes players in the saga of modern physics. Einstein and others often point to Mach as inspiring their ideas but it is often unclear exactly what Mach was proposing when he said that inertia was simply the result of the gravity of the sum total of all of the distant celestial bodies acting upon something locally. In this podcast we explore Mach's ideas through a few simple experiments. Please tell us your thoughts in the comments!

    The Shakespeare Conspiracy - Dennis McCarthy, Michael Blanding, & Derek Hunter - DSPod #232 Mar 14, 2024
    Show notes

    Get your DEMYSTICON 2024 tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/demysticon-2024-tickets-727054969987 The true identity of the person who wrote Shakespeare's plays has long been debated. At least 87 potential authors - from Daniel Defoe to Sir Francis Drake to Anne Hathaway to Sheikh Zubar - have been proposed as candidates, but all of these proposals suffer from the same problem - they don't quite fit the historical facts and so have to be stretched, ill fitting, to even be considered. Only one of the theories seems to make sense in context of history and biography, and it is that the true author of the plays was Sir Thomas North, soldier, lawyer, and translator. Returning guest Dennis McCarthy is joined by journalist Michael Blanding and author Derek Hunter for a conversation about uncovering the true identity of Shakespeare, the life and times of Thomas North, and the tangled thread of politics, philosophy, and liberty that stretches from the printing press to ChatGPT by way of the Old Globe.

    Did the Flavian Emperors Invent Christianity? - Warren Fahy, DS Pod #231 Mar 10, 2024

    Get your DEMYSTICON 2024 tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/demysticon-2024-tickets-727054969987 How did Christianity go from persecuted sect to the official religion of the Holy Roman Empire in just 300 years? The details of how a sidelined theology became the mainstream have always been obscure but fascinating, an indication of a powerful hold that a spiritual movement exerted in just a few generations. But what if thinking about the emergence of Christianity as a folk tradition is all wrong? What if it sprang, fully formed, from the minds of the Flavian Emperors who wanted to negotiate a lasting peace with the messianic Jews besieging Rome? We untangle the fantastic story of Christianity and Empire with Warren Fahy, independent scholar and best-selling author of CREATING CHRIST: How the Roman Emperors Invented Christianity.

    Get your DEMYSTICON 2024 tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/demysticon-2024-tickets-727054969987 Elisabeth Bik is a Dutch microbiologist who has a talent for identifying duplicated patterns. She turned her attention to the question of scientific integrity more than a decade ago, and has since been responsible for the retraction of more than a thousand papers that have blatant image manipulation in them. We talk to her about the work of image sleuthing, the nature of science that induces people to fake data, the impact of rotten data filling low-tier journals, and how questionable practices reach all the way to the top.
