The Future of the Surveillance State / WWDC and Mac iOS update with MacHead Taylor Barcroft

Listen Now to Dr. Future 6.11.13

With all the news about PRISM and other secret government activities recently revealed, we must give you our take on the situation, including some interesting info you may not have been tracking, such as the Amulet camera…

And as Apple’s World Wide Developer’s Conference is currently underway in San Francisco, we thought we’d bring you an update on what’s happening in that world, with the help of our very own star of MacHeads the Movie, Taylor Barcroft.  Can’t wait to get my hands on the new Mac Pro tube, a 12 core screaming machine that raises the standard of what a desktop computer means.

Listen Now to Dr. Future News 6.04.13

Boy, was Italy a great place to visit, but when it comes to using GPS apps, and having bandwidth, not so good.  We share a couple of our experiences along these realms.   With thousands upon thousands of applicants applying for the Martian colonists slots for the upcoming 2023 Dutch space mission, we are getting some interesting 1 minute video auditions..as you will hear..and the innovations this week are amazing, especially the lensless camera coming from Bell Labs.  Enjoy..

Exploring the Mystery of Life and Communications after Death

Listen Now to Dr. Annie Kagan

We are back from Europe with many tales to share.  On the way back in the plane I was reading a very personal and touching book by a woman who was in communications with her dead brother, called The Afterlife of Billy Fingers.  It wasn’t long after I landed that I got a call from my brother in NY, informing me that my father had just passed..  

So, following my cues, we’ll be interviewing Dr. Annie Kagan today, about her experiences of evidence of life after death and communications with the ‘other side.’  

Dr. Future Show "Future Week" Interviews in Vienna, Austria

We are still in Europe this week, currently in a beautiful but bandwidth challenged town in  Italy (Positano). There is not enough bandwidth to do our live show this week, but we are uploading some interviews we did at FutureWeek Vienna a few days ago.

This first interview is with Dr. Wolfgang Hoeschele, a Germany professor teaching at Truman University in Indiana.  He just wrote “The Economy of Abundance”, outlining a new way to think about economics, money and resources, and has started an online wiki, “The Commons Abundance Network,” for creating a new paradigm of sharing and distributing wealth.  

Tired of today’s pyramid of weath and interested in new ways of sharing the abundance of what we truly have?  Check out our interview with Wolfgang Hoeschele here.

From Future Week in Vienna, Austria - on Global Villages and the Global Villages Network

Listen Now to Dr. Future Show in Vienna, Austria

We take the show on the road this week to Vienna, Austria, where we meet Franz Nahrada, hotelier and founder of the Global Villages Network, and Jeff Buderer, a long-time member of Arcosanti, a visionary community founded by Italian architect Paolo Solari, in the Arizona desert.

Creating global eco-villages is a new paradigm for thinking about where we could live in the future, with roots in the ancient tradition of European monasticism.  We explored these ideas extensively while staying in Vienna at Franz Nahrada’s Hotel Karolinahof, celebrating his family ownership of this venerable Viennese destination since 1913.
