Is The World F*cked?
Welcome to "Is The World F*cked?" - a weekly raw and irreverent look at the future... starting today! We look at where the world's going in technology, economics, social policies and lots of other crazy sh*t!
We get real about where we could be going if we got our act together, what scares the hell out of us, and what makes our heads spin.
Your hosts are Dr Bruce McCabe, The Global Futurist, and Bruce's mate, "PJ" Jones, one of the original digital marketers in this world. We kick around the big issues everyone's thinking about but might hesitate to raise in polite company, while keeping it real and having some fun. Because, without the laughs, what's the point? And then we try to decide in the end, is the world f*cked, or not?
You can check out our "day jobs" at www.brucemccabe.com and www.alexim.com.au respectively, although this podcast was never meant for our clients (we're scared to death they'll find it). This podcast is for YOU - if you're thinking about the big stuff - and whether the world is f*cked, or not!
Is The World F*cked?
#24 - Now Every Microphone Is a Lie Detector
Welcome to the future, where hidden cameras capture your iris dilation and heartbeat and face flushes and breathing, and software listens to the stress patterns in your voice, all for the purpose of deciding whether or not you are telling the truth.
Except it’s not the future. It's now.
That's right, we're creeping into the dank dungeons of lie detection and predictive policing and pre-crime, and scaring ourselves rigid with what's already here. We explore whether that's OK. PJ, like so many people really, thinks sure - I'm not doing anything wrong... but take a listen to what Dr Bruce reveals - and then see what you think.
Won't you come with us? And while you're here, won't you answer a few questions?
Face that way, please. Don't worry about the light. Or the gun.
Do you love our podcast? Is it the very best ever? Have you shared it with ALL your friends? The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, please, OR WE'LL KNOW!
And for the record, when we're doing real work and not podcasting, you'll find Dr Bruce, The Global Futurist presenting here and PJ applying his digital marketing genius here. Enjoy!
