Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Four hours of podcast. Let me tell you. It seems like a small amount of time given the quality of both speakers. And the topic itself. We don't want to tell you what they say but just look at this. They tap about "grabby aliens", "the elephant in the brain", conspiracies, one government, simulations, AIs, the universe, what is a civilization, ... this is not just for this who love "alien talks". It's a talk about paradoxes, human ingenuity, imagination, futurism, evolution of life, singularity... Watch it.
