C-Realm

KMO talks with artist, urban innovator, and film-maker, Michael E.
Arth about a project in which he turned a portion of a Florida town known as "Crack Town" into an area the locals now call "the Garden District." Later the conversation breaks the bonds of linear thought and spirals into the recursive wonderland of the exponential function, through a technological singularity, and into the ineffable realms beyond.

In our discussion of existential risks, Michael mentioned the Lifeboat Foundation and the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence.

In talking about the potential role of autonomous cars and virtual (or "augmented") reality I made reference to the novel Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge. Of course, you can buy it through the C-Realm Amazon store, or you can read it for free on-line.

Before the interview, in answer to a letter from a listener, I made reference to an Alex Jones "interview" with Noam Chomsky. Here is the first of four parts on YouTube.
