How does the Singularity impact Spirituality? This series kicks off with Mike Morrell and Micah Redding talking about the intersection of Christianity and accelerating change. Mike gives us an expansive look at the history of humanity from the dawn of time to the far future, and introduces some of the dilemmas and hopes that spiritual people can bring to the discussion.

Stay tuned for other perspectives - next up, Mormon Transhumanists!

John, Ryan, and Micah discuss how to look at the future and the Singularity. Are you an optimist, a pessimist, or a catastrophist? What nightmare scenarios are possible? What is the best-case scenario, and how can we steer in that direction?

What is art? What's it like to paint on an infinite canvas? Is art the only thing standing between us and the robot invasion?

Micah Redding, Ryan Hogan, and John Yates in the first official podcast of Broadcast From The Singularity!

Ideas Discussed:
- The Singularity
- The Technium as coined by Kevin Kelly

The Implications of the Technium on The State of The Art
- How the Technium redefines art forms

Artists, Developers, and The Deep Structures of The New World
- Consciousness is a virtual world, that has been trying to reach out and colonize our reality, in all of our various art forms
- Social media has exploded to fill the canvas
- Film, writing, music started out on different ends of the canvas, but are trying to converge

Technology and the Baroque Unconscious
- Technology is an expanding canvas, sucking in our art, flattening and minimalizing it

Micah and Ryan are driving around Sikeston, Missouri, the last place the singularity will arrive. It's a very special Christmas episode, with a returning reluctant guest.

Micah and Ryan are driving around, talking smack and singularity.

Micah, Ryan, and special guest and co-navigator Emily, discuss technology and the future...and how to do a podcast. No one was harmed in the incident at the end.
