I have an upcoming event at Goodman Public Library for a discussion. Demystifying AI: Is it the future of humanity or our demise? With E. Hughes, author of Reality Unbound: The Digital Mind (and the Nature of Reality). I will do my best to live-stream the event if possible for online participants who decide to register. Visit my philosophy website, https://realityunbound.org/ for details

Once or twice a year I work on my family history and ancestry. I learned that I am a distant relative to Oprah by marriage. Her aunt Susy was married to my great uncle (my great grandmother's brother). And one of my great cousins was one of the two Olympic runners who went to Nazi Germany and won the Olympics. The gold winner was the famed Jesse Owens. The other was my great cousin, Jesse Metcalfe, who won the silver. He was an Olympic medalist and later a U.S. Congressman. I enjoy looking at family history. Maybe I will connect some dots and tell their stories.

Happy Tuesday. Welcome, Dr. Mitch. Great book and author!
I had a lovely experience as a guest poet at the Sequoya Poetry Festival this past weekend.
Roy Scarbrough Reading to an audience is such gratifying experience. Glad you got to do that.
E. Hughes Thank you it was nice! I had a lot of nervous energy.
This is why I am very private about information. I know someone that this happened to. She had two packages show up that she didn't buy. She sent them right back through UPS. She refused to even touch them. Data is money. This is why I am leery of social media platforms, especially the big ones since they sell your information to advertisers.

Thank you to friends who tuned in to the interview this morning. Someone recorded it for me. I hope this is okay to use. Here it is for anyone who missed it. . I wasn't expecting to talk about my philosophy books since this interview was about the poetry fest. Hopefully there will be an opportunity to come back and talk about philosophy, time, space, science, and physics in the future. There's a joke in here about Block Universe Theory somewhere (the theory that time isn't linear, but that everything is happening at once. In other words, the future, past, and present is happening now)
Byron Brauner you did a GREAT job
E. Hughes Thank you 🌹
Just recited I Pray We Meet Again from Space, Time, and Loneliness on WFORT 89.9 FM.
Supreme Overlord It was beautiful ❤️
E. Hughes Thank you for listening. It was a nice radio event.
M. C. Ryder So glad it got recorded so I could listen to it later! You did great!
E. Hughes Thank you, I was glad too. I wanted to hear it objectively since it feels like a conversation when it's happening. I was glad to was able to slow down a bit, and not ramble as much as I normally do when my brain is going 100 miles a minute.
I will be participating in a radio event on WORTFM 89.9 FM at 8:00 am Buzz Program to promote the WFOP Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets Sequoya Library Summer Poetry Festival I will be a participant and reciting some poetry as one of the speakers. https://ww...
