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..

Kidneys in Space, Harvard Advanced Reptilians Theory, Michele Newman and Singing your Soul with Whales, SETI approach for probing advanced AIs, Which came first, Fun or Love?
It’s Summertime and living is fun, unless you are on a deep space mission. Turns out our kidneys are particularly sensitive to radiation in space, failing after only two years. Oh no, what now? Any solutions? We think so!
And finally, top academics are suggesting to their brethren that now is the time to consider more expanded concepts of the alien presence. Ideas like advanced reptilians living underground, staying invisible to the likes of us, trans-dimensional beings moving through space and time in unusual ways, ships that enter the earth through volcanoes, the ‘other’ intermingling and living with us for generations, doing who knows what to our minds. Science Fiction or Fact? At least such ideas are now being considered more seriously, or at least sincerely.
Time sensitive this week is a sacred whale cruise in the Monterey Bay, hosted by Michele Newman, a psychic, healer, shamanness, and musician of the crystal bowls. Mrs. Future (Sun) beautifully interviews Michele about this upcoming cruise (Saturday June 22), and if you feel it’s time to connect with Whales in this way, here’s an “Opportunity Knocks” card! :-)
Our big AI story this week is about applying the rigorous scientific methods used by SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (to investigating and evaluating) the growing intelligence of the AIs. Not a perfect match, but lots of cross pollination here!
And we end with callers, including “Master Now” who answers the question of the hour, “Which came first in the timeline, Love or Fun?” Enjoy!
