Deep dives

Organic Growth and Neural-AI Integration
Discussions touch upon bridging the gap between symbolic AI and neural AI, advocating for the integration of Indigenous wisdom into machine-readable knowledge graphs to enhance archetypal understanding and technological applications.
Cultural Appropriation and Spiritual Protection
The conversation delves into the ethical challenges of replicating sacred knowledge and patterns, emphasizing the spiritual implications of such replication and the importance of maintaining the spiritual integrity of Indigenous wisdom.
Mindfulness Practices and Wellness Responsibility

Rishikes Siva takes biomimicry to the next level with Lunar Punk rhizomatic riffs, and we weave through arboretal IK at the margins of regenerative sexiness, while the brains of Elders are uploaded to the clouds and we wait to see what that rain will look like (while a tiny part of me dies inside). If more than half of that didn't make sense to you, the yarn won't either! Nerds!
