Webbing Nature, AI, and Humans: Douglas Grunther, EP 379

Radio talk show host Doug Grunther sharpens our human context--nature and AI. The Buddhist purchases a mandala, handing the clerk at $50 bill. As they wait for receiving the difference between the cost and the bill, the clerk does nothing. The Buddhist asks, "Where is the change?" The clerk says "Change comes from within." Technological advances often reflect aspects of the human body or mind. AI reflects the hyperfunctioning of our rational, logical, knowledge filled left hemisphere. Its remarkable information intelligence is forcing humanity to go where AI cannot--to the intuitive, empathic, cooperative and loving capacities of our right hemisphere. Nature is not a series of objects to be manipulated. Nature is analogical like our right brains. AI is encouraging our analogical thinking and feeling, connecting us to our hearts. Douglas Grunther is the creator/host of the Woodstock Roundtable, a rollicking--and multi award-winning--radio talk show spiced with humor and informed by his love of philosophy, depth psychology, and spiritual insight. His guests have been among the most original visionaries of our time. Grunther graduated from Columbia University where he was a Rhodes Scholarship finalist. He has been the featured speaker in front of national audiences, and is a dream work facilitator certified by Dr. Jeremy Taylor. https://douglasgrunther.com #coincidence #serendipity #synchronicitiy
