Build Us A Rocket Then

“The future is a weatherfront, and attempting to predict single lightning strikes is stupid and wasteful. Understand the future as weather, and yourself as standing on the shore looking out to the horizon. Breathe the air and watch the water. There are dozens of different systems acting on the approach of the future. In order to get a handle on what’s coming, you need to be talking to and working with and keeping an eye on many different fields. Not just “technology.” The future is also always social, and economic, and political, and many other things besides, and those things act on the path of the storm. And, if you’re standing on the shore, you know that there are a lot of storms out there, and any one of them could hit like a hurricane. If this sounds good to you, then, please, get to it. Because we’re running out of reliable early-warning stations.”

I wanted to give it a couple of weeks to settle in, in case anything untoward were to come of it, but i’ve got a new job! Which is exciting, challenging, and big shift in how i’m spending my time and attention.

In the name of balance, I applied for 53 jobs this year, from January to December. That’s a lot of time, effort, frustration and disappointment, which won’t be talked about as much.

So, here’s to new things in the new year.

2018 has been a year for the history books. All years are, that’s how history works, but 2018? Really takes the biscuit. So  let’s talk climate change. 

This episode isn’t all doom and gloom. The first half is, mostly, but then we get to the important part - fixing the problem with local action, cooperation, and immediately investing in saving the world. Join us in doing that. Thanks.

Business psychology can make your meetings more productive, improve communication across the team and with the community, and help you hack your goals. Useful stuff, right? Also, cyclists are a fluid now, FYI. Science says so.

When not designing cool T-shirts and being Irish on the internet, Nicole O'Connor also has her finger on the pulse of all the latest celebrity gossip. Cursed, is she, like Cassandra - to know such terrible truths.

I mean, if you see it on the ‘Personal Life’ section of Wikipedia, that’s basically the same thing.

Note: This episode was recorded on Sept 24th 2018. Elon Musk and Azealia Banks have probably done much stranger stuff since.

We were working in the lab late one night when our eyes beheld an eerie sight- Vampire bats, brain-controlling parasites, the entire plot of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein… Spooky, right? Have yourselves a #HappyHalloween with a #spooky #science #podcast

We’ve got an education in economics, we’ve got the morality of an artificial intelligence, we’ve got… facial hair? Sounds like our halloween costumes are sorted. But first, science!

Confronting conspiracy theories, Facebook advertising opportunities, tweeting about science to scientists and encouraging robots towards collective action: we’re living in the future now, folks. Better bring some science with you.
