It’s happened. The first children genetically engineered with the powerful DNA-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9 have been born to a woman in China. Their altered genes will be passed to their children, and their children’s children. Join CRISPR’s co-discoverer, microbiologist Jennifer Doudna, as we explore the perils and the promise of this powerful technology. It is not the first time human ingenuity has created something capable of doing us great good and great harm. Are we up to the challenge of guiding how CRISPR will shape the future?

PARTICIPANTS: Jennifer Doudna, Jamie Metzl, William Hurlbut

MODERATOR: Guy McKhann

Robbert Dijkgraaf, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

----
Mathematics has proven to be "unreasonably effective" in understanding nature. The fundamental laws of physics can be captured in beautiful formulae. In this lecture I want to argue for the reverse effect: Nature is an important source of inspiration for mathematics, even of the purest kind. In recent years ideas from quantum field theory, elementary particles physics and string theory have completely transformed mathematics, leading to solutions of deep problems, suggesting new invariants in geometry and topology, and, perhaps most importantly, putting modern mathematical ideas in a `natural’ context.

Spiral Dynamics Integral Theory is a Human Developmental model that encompasses all of human development and consciousness into 8 stages. The model was created by Don E. Beck and Christopher C. Cowan, and is based off the work Clare W. Graves had started. The 8 stages are: Beige, Purple, Red, Blue, Orange, Green, Yellow, and Turquoise. Each stage represents a type of worldview, thought structure, and an overall rationale for decisions being made. Basically, each stage represents a sort of track that consciousness runs through. As one moves up the spiral, they gradually take on a position of higher perspective, and gradually showcase a higher level of concern for all sentient beings. This model is important for one to learn as it represents a sort of roadmap that one follows as they self-develop. If you are into spirituality, improving yourself, improving this world, and raising your awareness, this model is absolutely crucial to learn.

About me

Hello everyone, my name is Wyeth and I originally created this channel to share some insights about life and the universe that I had on psychedelics, and how they can be used to change one’s life for the better. Now, this has evolved into me seeking to dedicate my life to understanding the truth about the nature of reality, the self, and consciousness at the deepest level. Because these subjects deal with the fundamental nature of who we are, I believe knowledge from these fields can be used to help one live a more wholesome and authentic life in all aspects.

I pride myself in taking an anti-dogma approach in my inquiry, therefore I will examine all topics of interest through a variety of lenses. If this of interest to you, I highly suggest you become a Curious Mind by subscribing.

If you wish to get in touch with me, you can send me a DM on Instagram (where I post a lot more content about this stuff), or you can email me.

“My chances are 50-50. Not great odds. And that’s only to get to the starting line. The human race is not for the faint hearted, when half the runners are doomed to die, before the race gets started.”

This documentary film explores the development of the growing fetus from conception to delivery. Open a window into the hidden world of the foetus and explore each trimester in amazing detail. It’s meant to be a joyous event, but in reality, it's a gripping battle for survival. Using cutting edge technology, we go inside the womb and follow the incredible nine month journey from conception to birth, showing how the struggle for life turns into the miracle of birth. Enhanced by poet Roger McGough’s reading of a series of poems written for the occasion.

“Until now, I thought I was the universe. But everything that is, was within me. Now that I can touch these walls, I realise I must be deep inside a greater universe.”

This is a slide presentation by Prof. Ampim in a series of radio broadcasts on the ancient Kushite civilization, based on his extensive primary research in northeast Africa over the past 30 years.

Every child deserves a peaceful childhood and the chance to go to school. This is still being denied to millions of children around the world who are engaged in child labour. Half of these are suffering from the worst forms of child labour.
