• 398 — AI Doesn't Hallucinate — It Makes Crap Up (That Distinction Matters) With Elizabeth Nelson 19.05.2026 2ч 1мин

  Once upon a time not so very long ago, artificial intelligence (AI) was a product of speculative science fiction, especially in films from Metropolis to Blade Runner.

Paul continues his investigation into AI with able assistance from author, Silicon Valley survivor and depth psychologist Elizabeth Nels...

• 396 — Does Your Personal Cosmology Need Improvement Before a Plant Medicine Ceremony With Mark Gober 05.05.2026 2ч 26мин

  If someone asked you about your personal cosmology — who are you, why are you here and what is your role on our planet — what would you tell them? Or, more to the point, could you really answer the question? For best-selling author Mark Gober, it took years for him to understand the huge gap between following a personal cosmology that was nihilistic, random, superficial and meaningless and living an intentional one that embraces Spirit and the divine in all of us. A decade passed before...

  Does it seem to you as if today’s kids are not as smart and lacking in common sense than previous generations? You’re not imagining things… The current focus on education — treating the human brain like a computer and using artificial intelligence (AI) to feed it knowledge — may be great for sitting in front of a screen playing video games, but not so much on real learning and creativity, the one true superpower every human being has. Educator Dr. Jared Horvath explains why today’s kids are c...
