About this podcast
This is an archive for the original Mindplex Podcast, which wrapped up production in February 2025.
The Mindplex Podcast was hosted by Lisa Rein, Ben Goertzel, Grace Robot and Desdemona Robot. On this show, we pondered AGI, cutting-edge technologies and the evolution of human consciousness. We interviewed a wide variety of interesting thinkers - both human and synthetic - to investigate and better understand the complex topics of our time, so we could learn to shape technologies that will assist us in bringing about a Benevolent Singularity.
Subjects covered included: AGI, the Metaverse, Decentralized Economies, Superlongevity, Superintelligence, Nanotech and Femtotech, Psi, Psychedelics, Experimental Futuristic Art & Music, Robotics, Synthetic Biology, Quantum Computing, Consciousness, Brain-Computer Interfaces, Speculative Physics, Chaos and Complexity and anything else wildly interesting and mind-blowing.
