another scientist, not just a raving lunatic with a basement full of rice, and a shotgun.

it's not very often an actual geologist will stand up and explain this. funny guy, too.

great fun, and a good overview of two important thinkers ( although pinchbeck is 'important' in a much different sense ). I can only detect one instance where pinchbeck appears to have the upper hand. see if you can spot it.

craig venter holds forth on some of the immanent possibilities of genomics. the last 15 minutes are the meat of it.

tarpley and alan steinfeld give a stern prognosis of human history and the fate of civilisations. a real classic, for a certain segment of interested people.

the elusive 'doctor' holds forth, while the metamorphic ben mack/ben garth/howard campbell worships at his knee. a rare treasure, whether you agree with it or not. prepare to hear the word 'monkey' a lot.

good summary of ideas I talked about in the malthusian catharses podcast

Bloom occupies a strange middle ground between transcendental aspirationalism, and brutalist biological determinism. That odd seeming paradox probably means he's right, though.

The absolutely BRILLIANT display of breaking down the media machine by doctor tim. Tells you most everything you need to know about his character as a person.

Raw does conspiracy theory and consciousness change the same way Richard Bandler teaches NLP. This is a great and powerful mystery for the initiated.

It's a little bit of the green-meme 'just connect everything horizontally and we all become superhuman' type of riff, but it's got a lot of salient stuff. Pesce is perhaps a worthy heir to Uncle Terrence.

He's been giving versions of these same ideas, in much the same form, for quite some time. At least since the late 90's. This is best video version I could find.

This movie will break your head. If you can understand it, you are an ascended master. Consider it mental yoga. And it's really good, to boot.

Uncle terrence expounds on the apocalyptic implications of the internet. Just like he's expounded the apocalyptic implications of everything else, one may notice...

The absolute classic trialouge, now in google video. I am stoked!

Pretty intense conflict of ideas. Mailer seems lodged in the green meme. Mcluhan refuses to make value judgments. I'm persistantly shocked at how utterly dumbed down the media is since 1968. Something to do with the transit from linear print based culture, to an oral, electronic one.

This is about as good as it gets for the Webster. Plato rolled out on top of 911. Lucid and succinct, without the polemic and raving excesses of some his other talks, which appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Good backround on cross referencing brain states and meditation attainments.
