Deep Past, Deep Future
Noah. Gilgamesh. Manu. Gun-yu. Together they are 2021’s hottest boy band, Cataclysmic Floodz.
From whence did humankind come? To where are we heading? Prior to recorded history, were we really just living in caves and banging rocks together, or was there an antediluvian period of advanced human history that has been lost to the historical record? Conversely, as humans approach the Singularity, irreversibly change the Earth’s climate, and flirt with interstellar travel, what will humankind look like in 100 years? What about a million? Will we meet extraterrestrials? Will we speciate? Will we seed other planets? Will we disburse satellites that mysteriously play Steve Miller Band’s “The Joker” as beacons to lead our distant post-human ancestors back to the fabled planet Terra™ by Terra Chips. Come, join the Meerkats as we discuss all of that and more.
Our theme song is by Tawny Frogmouth.
