Public Video Appearances

Podcasts

  1. Thus Spoke Zarathustra Goertzel – Phenomenological Diversity & Altruistic Hedonism with Andreas Xirtus. Basically, just discussing life with an acquaintance who has a weird YouTube channel.
  2. Clear Communication, Blue Ray: Confederation of Planets. A podcast seeking to explore the Confederation of Planets philosophy from the L/L Research channelings and to experiment with fleshing out understanding as a “social memory complex” of love-oriented beings. The material on the mutually honest, open, free communication energy center aligns well with my general understanding.
  3. Intuition, Indigo Ray: Confederation of Planets. The third eye chakra seems to, by this philosophy, integrate meditative consciousness work (such as in the PNSE and Fundamental Wellbeing direction) with character sculpting and intuitive knowingness. It seems to be the nexus of harmony and balance.
  4. Pre-Incarnative Choice: Confederation of Planets. Pre-incarnative choice as akin to manifestation whereby one is biased toward engaging with certain life patterns as well as certain life patterns being more likely to (synchronistically) enter one’s life, thus allowing one to explore and develop one’s character in sought-after ways. One may explore narcissism as a route to a deeper, humbler sense of self-worth. And note that one is generally free to deviate from these plans.
  5. Dealing with Surprises, Distortion Catalyst: Confederation of Planets. Distortions are defined as biases in one’s perception, interpretation, and understanding of the universe. Catalysts are any aspect of reality that triggers and/or inspires growth, which can thus be viewed as surprises. There’s some discussion of how to deal with and frame responding to such aspects of reality: “it is only within an atmosphere of love that the self begins to be able to see the self clearly.”
  6. Xirtus Redeye – Zarathustra Goertzel + Ian Crossland + David Charles Plate. Continued discussions on beneficial societal organization, AI, consciousness, and ETs1Ian and David are cool guys. I find it interesting to begin shifting into comfort having a recorded ‘normal’ conversation..
  7. AI Must Learn Zarathustra Goertzel and Blake Lemoine with Xirtus. Discussions of AI, spirituality, reincarnation, consciousness, and how the other minds problem is solved by becoming one with other minds: how should we think about the nature of LLM-based AI systems?

Panel Sessions

  1. AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) — cyklus debat AI horizonty. A convivial, harmonious panel discussion on the nature of AGI. What is it? How easy is it to define it? What motivates us to develop AGIs? Math or as a part of the natural progression of technology whereby we ‘need’ to develop AGIs to manage an increasingly complex society and handle emerging crises such as climate change? Will AGI be singular or plural? Diversely heterogenous or homogenous? I got to introduce my twist: “what’s the minimum viable substrate needed to foster machine consciousness?” If people think digital computers won’t be, what about neuroid-computer hybrids?
