The Great Filter

What does humanity need to let go of for the future? That's what we are discussing in this new episode of Fun2Speculate. Host Arend Richard and our guest, Naturopath Magdalynn Sophia talk all about ideals and labels we live up to in a society that doesn't make sense anymore. It's a pretty lit episode! We hope you all enjoy it!

Welcome back to season 2 of Fun2Speculate! In this episode, Arend Richard (@arendrichard) and Producer Vlad (@vladriker) speculate on The Great Filter. A theory formulated by a man named Robin Hanson in the 1990s to possibly explain the Fermi Paradox (lack of evidence for extraterrestrial life in the face of a universe that should be, by the numbers, bursting with it).

In this episode, Arend Richard (@arendrichard) and Stephen Barnhill Jr. (@stephen_barnhilljr), CEO of High Spirits, speculate on what the future of transportation may look like in the near and distant future. Arend and Barnhill discuss everything from the new Virgin Hyperloop One, which will travel at up to speeds of 760 MPH to the new SpaceX Starship Rocket!

Have you ever wondered if other races existed in the past or if life could be a simulation? Well, in this new episode we speculate on all things “out of this world” with Host @ArendRichard and Guest @Angela_Mazzanti. In the earliest Sumerian writings about them, which come from the Post-Akkadian period, the Anunnaki are the most powerful deities in the pantheon, descendants of An and Ki, the god of the heavens and the goddess of earth, and their primary function is to decree the fates of humanity. Tune in to learn more about this ancient race, whether we are living in a simulation, and what the universe's part is in all of it!

Folklore is an integral part of our heritage as human beings. It anchors us to our roots through storytelling. But folklore also does something else: it gives us a place to hide our fear, to put it on a leash, and control it. Have you ever reminisced with friends about past adventures to spooky dirt roads or laughed about the time you “swear” you saw a ghost or felt a presence around you? Well, in this episode of Fun2Speculate, Host Arend Richard and Guest @macdizzle420 speculate on just that, what it would be like if ghosts were undeniably real. Tune in to find out what kind of ghosts they would be, who they would haunt, and where they would go!
