In Memory of Mac Tonnies

maccopy.jpg

“Consciousness is a potential technology; we are exquisite machines, nothing less than sentient patterns. As such, there’s no convincing technical reason we can’t eventually upload ourselves into matrices of our design and choosing. It’s likely the phenomenon we casually call “intelligence” will cease to be strictly biological as we begin to merge with our machines more meaningfully and intimately. (Philip K. Dick once wrote that “living and nonliving things are exchanging properties.” I suspect that in a few hundred years, barring disaster, separating the animate from the inanimate will probably be an exercise in futility.) Ultimately, we have two options: self-mutate by venturing off-planet in minds and bodies of our own design, or succumb to extinction.”

Paratopia Episode 39: Medium Laine Crosby

Laine Crosby is an Investigative Medium, who works on missing person cases, and with authors, historians, archaeologists and paranormal investigators to help understand what history has not revealed. Until a few years ago, she worked in corporate America, juggling the work and mother dichotomy, when literally, she woke up one morning talking to dead people- and they talked back! Since then, she says her abilities have grown and she has given up the corporate world to answer to her conscience. Her first book will be finished this year, and available in 2009.

Laine earned an M.B.A. in marketing from Georgia State University, a B.A. in economics from Agnes Scott College, and certificates from Georgia Institute of Technology (ecommerce), the University of London (international law) and the University of Tours (international finance).

Laine works closely with our past guest and close friend of the show Mr. Mark Nesbitt of Ghosts of Gettysburg fame and they own and operate together the Ghost Channel, seen at (www.ghostchannel.tv), and the duo also host the popular Internet talk show, Ghost Talkers, available as a download on the Ghost Channel, and web cast at www.ghosttalkers.net.
