Are Aliens Artificial Intelligence? w/ Chris Sweat

Join my mailing list https://briankeating.com/list to win a real 4 billion year old meteorite! All .edu emails in the USA 🇺🇸 will WIN! Are aliens artificial intelligence? What’s the deal with string theory? And how are campus politics affecting our classrooms? I had the pleasure of discussing all of this and more with Christopher Sweat, a highly opinionated thinker and analyst. Christopher started his career as a tinkerer, fascinated by computers, flights, and racing simulators. His practical and theoretical understanding of AI, computer science, and cybersecurity led him to become a tech consultant for large enterprises. He’s also the host of A Rant, a podcast for impromptu intellectual dialogue. This is our second interview, this time led by Chris and with me in the hot seat. Accordingly, we talked about things close to my heart – string theory, God, spacetime, aliens, Israel, and more. Tune in!
