Americans make up 25% of the global prison population. We live in a virtual pandemic of U.S. citizens who live their lives in 6ft. x 8ft. cells. Is this a crime against humanity or a strong commitment to keep law abiding citizens safe?

On this episode we will talk about the real-time components, ambivalence and de facto-ambivalence, that make crime management in America an abysmal failure. Then we will talk to a former gang member about his experiences, which have consumed more than half of his adult life.

We spend a third of our lives in a state where we have very little awareness of our surroundings. We have thrived as beings whose minds shut down involuntarily every day. Sleep is a central part of our physiology and a most powerful partner in our survival. This episode is dedicated to our most cherished friend to the end.

There are so many ways we could fall to the knees of our greatest creation. Will AI computing inadvertently bring on the destruction of humanity?

It is likely that AI networks will someday overwrite human programming? Will it have reduced ethical standards as it sets and prioritize goals? Will human vitality be prioritized at all?

So many options to think about and so little time to understand what we must do to control it. Full transparency from corporations, as AI is developed, might be a large part of the answer. The time is now or are we already too late?
