Rise of Robots/ Cryptid Lore
First Half: Martin Ford, who founded of a Silicon Valley-based software development firm, will discuss how technology, AI and robotics are already making "good jobs" obsolete: many paralegals, journalists, office workers, and computer programmers are poised to be replaced by robots and smart software. He'll discuss advances in technology which will surpass human capability and perhaps even control us.
2nd Half: Cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard talks about his research into both mythical creatures as well as tangible evidence for creatures such as Mothman and their connection to UFOs, curses, and tragedies. He'll also cover the copious examples of lore and mythologies around the world which describe these creatures.
