Beware the Ides of March! I’m not yet back to doing a full show yet, but please accept these few minutes of commentary about geopolitics, the latest semi–successful lunar landing mission, my dental well–being, and the potential of “generative AI” to provide an always–on, personalized cult leader for anybody who is even remotely, momentarily susceptible. Exciting times we live in, to be sure!

Supplementary Show

2025–03–18 “Quite clearly, Man is coming into a completely new ecological relationship to his Earth, and quite clearly, we are accelerating into an entirely new relationship of Man to Universe. In speaking to you I have to take that statement as my fundamental premise, not just as an interesting aside. The problems of our moment are as unprecedented as they are vast. The solutions will have to be unprecedented and vast.” Picking up again with Utopia or Oblivion by Fuller, we finish Geosocial Revolution and begin How to Maintain Man as a Success in Universe.

At Sea with publius

While in mid–Atlantic aboard the cruise ship Majestic Princess, I managed to record and upload some brief shows.

  • 2025–02–21 Bound from Port Everglades to Funchal, noon fix : 29°15′ N, 56°25′ W
  • 2025–02–25 Approaching Funchal, noon fix : 32°48′ N, 20°12′ W
  • 2025–02–28 Bound from Funchal to Cadiz, noon fix : 34°41′ N, 11°16′ W
  • 2025–03–01 Departing Cadiz for Malaga via Gibraltar, and you can hear the captain’s announcement as we leave port. I discuss the Museum of Electricity in Funchal, the possibilities of “small modular” nuclear power there, and my opinions regarding nuclear–propelled fast passenger liners, which may provide some tourist–class services if air travel is limited.
  • 2025–03–04 The captain’s noon announcement on the previous day, 37°53′ N, 0°14′ W, my good wishes, and a giggle from my traveling companion.

Starting very late, about 15 minutes in as a matter of fact. I share some sensitive personal information about my family and friends, which is always a mistake, and lay out my expectations for the coming month, explaining why I may not be available to do shows regularly.
