Michael Garfield joins the show
This was an interesting and wide ranging conversation. We spoke of people and community as social molecules, time loops, AI and technology, and the need to come together in community towards some of the challenges facing us collectively, and much more. Also, brief appearance of Michael's daughter on the show for a moment!
Michael is an incredible polymath. He is a visionary artist and live painter, a fantastic musician, podcast host (Future Fossils and until just recently Complexity Podcast for Sante Fe Institute), science communicator, writer and soon to be author, and all around sponge of knowledge for seemingly everything.
Michael is working on a project likely to become a book from integrating what he's learned from his time at the Sante Fe Institute, and exploring how the science and philosophy of the Jurassic Park franchise (books, films, games, rides) sheds light on and entangles with the evolution of AI, VFX, biotech, and other monsters of modernity since JP's first edition back in 1990.
He's also working on a new album called The Age Of Reunion, and has been making some great AI music videos with some of his work, so check that out.
And please! Everyone go check out his Martian Arts EP. One of my favourite pieces of music, it's one piece of music over 5 or 6 tracks and about 30 minutes long, but is one of the best ambient pieces for journeying with psychedelics I've found. Some of Michael's other music has been used in official MAPS MDMA therapy playlists also.
