Howard Bloom takes us on a journey through his life's work and vision. Starting from his youthful passion for creating a timeline of the universe, Bloom challenges conventional scientific beliefs like entropy and the second law of thermodynamics. He discusses the concept of the universe 'falling up' rather than down and explores the idea of multiple singularities throughout human history. The conversation delves into the impact of artificial intelligence on humanity, the role of leadership in shaping collective intelligence, and Bloom's unique talent for discovering extraordinary individuals like Michael Jackson and Elon Musk. This episode offers a deep dive into the question of how humanity can navigate future epochs and the potential of the singularity.
