News, Views, and a Dachshund
Air Date: September 6, 2014 JUST WHEN we thought the furor over Slender Man had died down, a Florida teen fascinated with the fictional horror character tried to incinerate her family by setting her home on fire while they slept. We discuss the character and the Buddhist concept of the tulpa and the possibility that demons may be using the Slender Man phenomenon to influence teens looking for supernatural power.Also: Ebola epidemic getting worse; Christian “magic”; the debut of robots for the family; and is ISIS’ caliphate a harbinger of the Antichrist?
Here are the promised links to the article by Zoltan Istvan calling for restrictions on human breeding and the response by Wesley J. Smith, “Transhumanism’s Eugenic Authoritarianism“.
Please check out our new website, a precursor to our forthcoming book on transhumanism, Rise of the Cybergods. And watch for more information about our forthcoming Gilbert House Fellowship beginning Sunday, September 28, at www.GilbertHouse.org.
Your Hosts: Derek and Sharon Gilbert
SINCE March, 2005, Derek and Sharon Gilbert have been sharing their take on cryptopolitics and things that go bump in the night. Those initial podcasts (back when ‘podcasting’ was a brand new idea) were rough–recorded through a jury-rigged setup of string and wire and duct tape.Always ready to share a laugh and an opinion, the Gilberts emphasize the joy of living for Christ in the midst of doom and gloom news.
New shows are typically produced on Sunday evenings. All new shows are available on demand and can be downloaded and burned to disc or loaded into your favorite mp3 player.
