The only human skill that matters now is AI collaboration.
Look at the timeline:
Neurology mastery â 26 years.Launching a podcast â 6 months.Writing & producing a country album â 1 month.Building a full-stack AI-driven iOS app â 18 hours.The difference? Superintelligent AI.
In this episode, we break down:
đ What intelligence really means, from psychometrics to AI self-assessments.
đ Why AI isnât just passing benchmarksâitâs redefining them.
đ How ChatGPT rated itself superintelligent in multiple cognitive domains.
đ What happens when an AI thinks faster, learns faster, and remembers everythingâforever.And the big question: Are we already in a human+AI superintelligence?
Plus: The West Liberty Dulcimer Revue debuts "Cats Donât Stay in Bags."

Join your intrepid guide, Dr. David Filippi, on a deep dive - literally - into the Cenotes of the YucatĂĄn. In this episode, we explore the geological origins of these breathtaking natural wonders, shaped by the cataclysmic Chicxulub impact 66 million years ago. Learn how blind cavefish have evolved extraordinary adaptations to thrive in their resource-scarce, lightless underwater worlds, and discover how these ecosystems mirror challenges faced by humanity and even artificial intelligence. Through science, storytelling, and thought-provoking parallels, this episode is as mind-expanding as it is immersive.

How does the brain construct our sense of selfâand what happens when it breaks apart? Come along for the ride as Dr. David Filippi delves into haunting case histories: from the phenomenon of alien hand syndrome to the story of Lev Zasetsky - The Man with a Shattered World - a man lost in a world his mind could no longer piece together.
Along the way, we explore groundbreaking insights from neuroscience and ask: What can these stories teach us about embodied cognition, adaptation, and even artificial intelligence?
Join us on a journey that spans the boundaries of science, philosophy, and technologyâand challenges us to rethink what it means to truly understand. Visit us on the web at significant-podcast.com.
