April 4, 2001: Fuzzy Science - Bart Kosko
Published 1 year, 5 months ago
Description
Art Bell interviews Professor Bart Kosko, an electrical engineering professor at USC and author of "Heaven in a Chip," about fuzzy logic, digital immortality, and the future of computing. Kosko explains how fuzzy logic enables computers to reason in shades of gray rather than strict binary, a technology already embedded in automobile transmissions, camcorders, and industrial control systems worldwide.
The discussion explores the possibility of backing up an entire human brain onto a chip the size of a sugar cube, achieving a form of digital immortality. Kosko, who wears a cryonics bracelet and holds a cryo-suspension contract with the Alcor Foundation, discusses neural networks, biological computing, and how intelligent signal processing could reshape society, from tax policy to genetic design of children.
The first hour features a major chemtrails investigation. Reporter Tiffany Brent and researcher Will Thomas present taped interviews with an anonymous air traffic control manager who confirms that unusual aerial operations involved military tanker aircraft and were described to him as weather modification exercises. The source reports being ordered to reroute civilian air traffic during these operations.
