The SoapyRao Show

Climate change is one of the most critical issues of our time. And it is not just an environmental issue; it's a human issue, affecting every aspect of our lives from the air we breathe to the food we eat, and the stability of our economies and communities. As we navigate through the complexities of climate science, policy, and action, we are honored to be joined by a truly inspiring guest in this week's episode, activist Mitch Pope.

Mitch is an environmental and climate activist who is currently using social media to try to spread awareness about the climate crisis, as well as being part of groups and coalitions advocating for an end to offshore oil and gas exploration in Australia. Mitch grew up in and around the ocean, surfing and diving, which has naturally progressed to a deep connection and love for the ocean and natural environmental, as well as an understanding of the need for us all to stand up and do more to protect this one planet we call home.

Facing Adversity: Coming Together to Tackle the Climate Crisis ft. Mitch Pope

It's a friends' reunion! Join our conversation with Computer Scientist, Researcher and long-time pal Michael Timothy Bennett in our latest episode of @thesoapyraoshow.

Michael is a computer scientist with the Australian National University. His research explores intelligence from first principles, blending philosophical arguments, math proofs and experimental results. He presented a unified theory of consciousness, meaning and artificial superintelligence at the 2023 conference on artificial general intelligence, for which he won a best paper award. 

He has also been quoted and published by prominent news organizations including Newsweek, Quillette and The Conversation. 

He was previously co-founder and COO of Eigen Technologies in London and has worked in game development across four continents on well-known franchises including The Sims, Sniper Elite and Total War.

Human Doings or Beings?

In this week's episode, a soliloquy from our host, Sundeep Rao, on choices. 

The politically-charged term 'choice' has steadily made its way into discourse and the commoners' psyche. How do we navigate the nuances of decision making and the subsequent consequences? How do we choose our beliefs in an increasingly polarized world? These are some of the questions we are asking out loud this week.
