    ❍ Podcast Episode 6: • 3 rebellious creators ...
    The future is coming, whether we’re ready or not. Physicist Sean Carroll, planetary scientist Nina Lanza, and futurist Kevin Kelly are three brilliant minds who have spent their careers studying how time has affected the Earth - and Kmele is on a mission to understand their findings.
    Part of understanding what we know includes identifying the things we don’t know; this way, we can keep our minds open to new discoveries and ideas.
    What is it really like to be a theoretical physicist, who only works with ideas? How does philosophy underline the progress we’ve made as a society? And, finally, what is humanity’s role in the future, and what can we do to make sure our lives have meaning? Find out this, and much, much more, in the last episode of Dispatches from The Well.
    Featuring: Sean Carroll, Nina Lanza, Kevin Kelly

    ❍ About The Well ❍
    Do we inhabit a multiverse? Do we have free will? What is love? Is evolution directional? There are no simple answers to life’s biggest questions, and that’s why they’re the questions occupying the world’s brightest minds.
    So what do they think?
    How is the power of science advancing understanding? How are philosophers and theologians tackling these fascinating questions?
    Let’s dive into The Well.

      It really is the best. Very honest, intellectual, and thought-provoking. No propaganda or click baits. I'm on UA-cam more than TV, and I see many filmmakers use click bait in thumbnail pictures or titles to get people to click and watch their videos but not this channel. I have been thinking about supporting you with $10 subscription, but at the moment, it's hard for me to afford it. I will soon.
      I want to watch the full interviews.

    There have been and there will be discoveries that throw everything we thought we knew upside down. Very few things are absolutely certain at this point in time, even if we have good working theories. This is partially because scientific discoveries also tend to need interpretation, and that is where we can be particularly biased. This kind of contemporary bias can only be overcome through discoveries that shine a new light on things we thought we understood. For that we need to liberate science, f.e. from the industries that dictate them through funding.

    Amazing video, all essential questions that our generation should pay attention to. However I’m more inclined towards having the “do more for generations to come” mindset. Individual thoughts matter and grow exponentially, especially here when the video is watched by thousands of people-imagine the impact when they then tell thousands and thousands of people around them about this video. Think of the futurist’s method and imagine people in this video say “I believe we can do something for future generations and we can change trajectories significantly better” and we work to bring that to reality down the way… And I’m not saying we shouldn’t solve more immediate problems. They are not either/or and we have capacity for both.

    Absolutely loved these interviews . Great interviewer too. I am 54 years old, and only in the past few years picked again the interest I had in scienced when I was younger. I kick myself that I woke up too late in life to professionally follow anything like a scientific career path. I would have loved it. At least there is a lot of really great content like your video here that helps to satisfy my interests.

    If this was a conspiracy theory video by some ambitious unscrupulous podcaster about government secrets of alleged alien sightings, it would have so many more views and certainly more comments.
    I’m just fascinated by what people are captivated by.
    This video and channel is one of verifiable discoveries and enlightenment.
