Mar 31 2025 34 mins  
The Upper Paleolithic, that is the period dated from around 50-11 thousand years ago, reflects a period of cultural, behavioral and technological change that distinguishes modern humans from earlier homo species. Four examples of the earliest archetypal images, beliefs, and practices are given and for which we have hard evidence taking us back many tens of thousands years deep into

Jan 31 2025 53 mins  
The ten archetypes underlying the book "Archetypes at Work" have an astrological basis in the ten heavenly bodies (including sun and moon) in our solar system - each with their archetypal nature and their influence upon human character and destiny ... "the planets are around us and in us".Dr Laurence Hillman explains how at birth a unique blueprint forms the basis of human characte

Join Alan Mulhern as he interviews Richard Olivier, founder of Olivier Mythodrama and co-author with Laurence Hillman of Archetypes at Work (2019). Exploring how archetypes—rooted in mythology and Shakespearean drama—can revolutionize leadership, organizational culture, and personal growth.

S2 Ep103. Transhumanism Part 7. The Faustian pact is sealed

Nov 30 2024 34 mins  
This is the final episode of this miniseries on Transhumanism and Artificial Intelligence. Many authors, filmakers and the like point to the great dangers of Artifical Intelligence - to no avail. Warnings of great danger are no deterrence for the advance of technology. Fascinated by wealth and infatuated with power, we complete the Faustian bargain that was struck at the beginning

S2 Ep102. Transhumanism Part 6. From the Luciferian to the Satanic

Oct 31 2024 27 mins  
The archetypal roots of Transhumanism are explored. The Book of Genesis presents this in symbolic and mythical form: humans are caught in a dilemma between staying in the garden of unconsciousness or making a bid for freedom from nature and the unconscious though the awakening of self awareness and pursuit of knowledge. In doing this we become aware of death and are destined to att

We examine a very recent international report on AI safety. In the face of possibly the most powerful, disruptive, and existentially threatening technological revolution in our history. Regulation is notably absent. We stumble into the unknown.

S2 Ep100. Transhumanism. Part 4. AI: The demon in the tomb

Aug 31 2024 32 mins  
This episode considers the speed, extent, and dangers of the AI technological revolution. The dreams of radical transhumanism depend on this transformation. I use 2 sources, both highly recommended reading: 1. Megathreats (2022) by Nouriel Roubini especially ch8. 2. The Coming Wave (2023 ) by Mustafa Suleyman. The episode ends with a warning dream of mine about AI … An expedition

S2 Ep99. Transhumanism. Part 3. AI is poised to take over human nature

Jul 31 2024 27 mins  
I review the history of the relationship of technology and human consciousness and explore the implications of the division of the brain into a right and left hemisphere. AI is not only going to take over most jobs in the economy, it will take over our consciousness and we are surrendering it willingly. At root, having been convinced of the idea we have no soul and that we are simp

S2 Ep98. Transhumanism. Part 2. Replacement of Human Nature

Jun 30 2024 30 mins  
Transhumanism believes in a transition of Homo sapiens into a trans-human and even post-biological state made possible by accelerating technological progress, for example Artificial General Intelligence. The recent emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) not only push the boundaries of AI but may also play their part in the Transhumanist enterprise. In reply to the question what
