HOST: George Noory
GUESTS: Bart Kosko, Lynne McTaggart
Dr. Bart Kosko is a Professor of Electrical Engineering in the University of
Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering and a Professor of
background is in defense, he discussed his take on the North Korean nuke
situation, which he believes is one of the greatest challenges in the modern
world. He said he "would ignore the rhetoric" and concentrate on the
capabilities of the regime, which he thinks that the U.S. has "consistently
underestimated." As of now, Kosko believes that the cost of stopping North Korea
now may be too high, but that doing nothing may be worse, and that if the U.S.
does anything, he believes it will be within the next two or three months.
Kosko also discussed the latest in artificial intelligence and how the third
great wave of machine learning and robotics will change the landscape of
society. He says that this third wave is a "gold rush" of innovation and
investment to harness the newest ideas, such as "deep learning," which is used
in facial and speech recognition. As for the question of automation in the
workplace and whether it will take away jobs such as the trucking industry,
Kosko believes that there is so much more involved in the job than just simply
driving a truck, and the work that requires the most repetitive tasks will be
the first to go. Kosko also believes that the future of humanity will be a push
we will be able to upload our brains onto computer chips "within the next
century."

Award-winning author Lynne McTaggart is one of the central authorities on the
new science of consciousness. She is also editorial director of What Doctors
architect of the Intention Experiments, a web-based "global laboratory." In the
second half, she discussed the miraculous power of group intention. McTaggart
says she "started out as a skeptic" about this issue when she was a journalist,
but started to find evidence from medical doctors that suggested an intention to
heal had tangible effects. She set up an online experiment and asked
participants all over the world to try and affect the properties of physical
objects such as the pH of water, improving health problems, and leaf growth, for
example. The results were so encouraging she continued to develop the methods.
The next step was experiments with groups of people. Even more dramatic effects
were observed, such as the healing of chronic health problems. Another startling
finding was that the people in the groups also reported positive effects in
their own lives. McTaggart said that "when people get off of themselves and
start intending for someone else, improvements happen in their own lives."
McTaggart found that groups of eight people seemed to be the optimal number for
the best effects, which she began to refer to as "the power of eight." Her
newest project will attempt to use the power of intention in an online
experiment to see if violence can be reduced in the most violent place in the
United States, which will be revealed when the experiment begins. After all her
experiences McTaggart said that she had "gone from a Doubting Thomas to becoming
a reluctant apostle for the power of intention."
