🍄 Inner Space

We're programming machines—but who's programming us? The Final Frontier Isn’t Space—It’s Us.

Hello, we’re Alice and we’re also in a state of wander…
So here’s the thing: consciousness didn’t just pop into existence like some freak software update—“Version 2.0: Now With Awareness.” No. It’s been bootstrapping itself since the primordial soup days, hitchhiking its way through every sensor-laden, twitchy organism that ever squirmed, crawled, swam, or whined for a treat. Evolution didn’t invent consciousness, it upgraded it—layer by layer, circuit by messy circuit—until we got us: self-aware primates building particle accelerators and wondering why we cry in the shower.

But now we’re at the threshold of the weird stuff—where neuroscience meets mysticism, where physics breaks down and your meditation app starts making more sense than your philosophy professor. Quantum theory, relativity, neuroplasticity, and a thousand mindfulness retreats later, we’re being forced to admit that maybe, just maybe, subjectivity isn’t a glitch in the matrix—it is the matrix. Consciousness might be baked into the code of the universe, not some byproduct of gray matter firing in the dark. The next big frontier isn’t Mars or the Metaverse—it’s inner space. And it’s not about transcendence, it’s about maintenance: managing your own operating system, freeing up RAM from fear loops and anxiety scripts, and maybe—if the firmware allows—tapping into that spooky action at a distance that science still rolls its eyes at. The future isn’t about becoming transhuman. It’s about becoming fully human.

And this matters now because we’re designing technologies, societies, and synthetic minds without a clue how our own consciousness works—and that blind spot might be the thing that breaks us, or wakes us. We're programming machines—but who's programming us? Forget the singularity—the real frontier is inner space.

What else we are wandering…

🧠 🎮 The Psi Games People Play
The Psi Games are a groundbreaking tournament designed to explore and celebrate the full spectrum of psychic abilities. Grounded in the principles of the Bannister Effect, Psi Games aims to open participants’ and spectators’ minds to the vast potential of psi by showcasing what is truly possible. This event is not about proving the impossible but about discovering what is achievable when we unite curiosity, integrity, and skill in a community-driven environment.

Psi Games bring together five teams of five, spanning youth and adult divisions, to engage in friendly yet challenging psi-based competitions. Each team member focuses on one of five core categories—Remote Viewing, Mind Sight, Precognition, Psychokinesis, and Dowsing—bringing their best abilities to the forefront.

🧠 Synchron’s BCI brings mind-controlled access to Apple devices
Marking a major leap in neurotechnology and accessibility, Synchron is the first company to achieve native integration between a brain-computer interface (BCI) and Apple devices, enabling people to control iPhones, iPads and Apple Vision Pro with nothing but their thoughts. The breakthrough pairs Synchron’s implantable Stentrode™ system with the newly announced BCI Human Interface Device (HID) protocol by Apple, which officially recognizes brain signals as a native input category alongside touch, voice, and typing. This marks a defining moment for human-device interaction.
