Hello Seekers!
Today on the Occulture Shock Podcast, host Jessica Chobot follows a trail of punch cards and metaphysics garbed in science. We're headed straight into the mind of Charles Babbage: mathematician, inventor...and a cranky scientist with the heart of a mystic.
This episode isn't just about the origins of computing. It's about how a man obsessed with order was equally obsessed with the notion that the Universe remembered EVERYTHING.
We'll dig into Babbage's Analytical Engine and Ada Lovelace's visionary belief that one day machines could becomme creative thinkers. The roots of the idea behind the Akashic Record and how we may be living in a digital version of that in our modern times.
The reality that early computing wasn't just cold logic but mysticisim tested within mechanical form. and what it means to live in a world that, as Babbage predicted, never forgets.
