68: Preach Brother Heron [December 6, 2013] - a podcast by Tom Barbalet

Heron starts the show talking about five thousand or so unique IPs downloading the show. Lorraine asks a question about simulation and Gaia. Chris Abbott's questions are revisited. Tom has been listening to radical commentators via YouTube. Heron wants to believe Sheldrake. What about those nominal educational institutions? Lorraine wants to know the wheres and hows of artificial life. Marie offers a question on architecture. Tom raises the idea that teenagers who run away may have a good reason. (Editorial note: Tom is off by a factor of ten: between 1.6 and 2.8 million US youths ran away in 2012.) Nelson Mandela: reasonable dude? Lorraine questions transcendence. Tom raps on not quite simmered topics. Tom makes a plea to the Stone Ape listeners in the continental US that also like old cats. Tom offers the natural periodicity of work. Is Iraq the perfect society for engineers? It isn't easy to get people to listen. They revisit Heron's boyhood home. Heron gets preachy.
