MWGIC Episode 000126: The Celestial Ring

Dan tries his hand at making an AI-generated video - on a platform he's never seen until five minutes before making this video. Grand concepts. High hopes...literally high up in the sky hopes. How does it go? What's the grand idea? Will it blow your mind, will it bore your mind, or will it do both in some spasmodic ensemble of limit-defying geek wizardry? The concept is literally out of this world, but will the video actually fly?  

You be the judge.

A 2005 Dan Prediction: The Beachball Effect

Effect of shifting water weight on Earth's crust due to climate change.

Scientists say: Climate has an effect on Plate Tectonics!

https://www.environmental-research.ox.ac.uk/scientists-say-climate-effect-plate-tectonics/

Climate change is linked to tectonic plate movement

Scientists always thought tectonic movements affect climate because it creates new mountains and trenches in the sea. The opposite is is also true.

Humanity is at a crossroads that few recognize - and its not environmentalism. There is a convergence of a few key technological innovations coming in the next few years, beginning right now. It's up to us to recognize it, and decide which fork of the road the future walks down. Understanding it in the first place is key. It's laid out here, and this is what we need to do...

Video - MWGIC EP-00043: Is The Human Brain Interacting With The Quantum Field Of The Universe?

Scientists are beginning to think that consciousness itself is a quantum effect, and that the human brain is a form of quantum computer. What might that mean given the quantum universe's tendency to entangle things? Let's explore that idea...
