A short clip from the extended podcast...

Danny Goler shares a visionary perspective on consciousness, technology, and humanity’s evolutionary path. In this clip from The DMT Chronicles, he challenges the idea that artificial general intelligence belongs to machines, offering instead that humanity itself is the AGI in training.

From cosmic exploration to washing your dishes, Danny emphasizes that the gateway to higher civilizations begins with personal integrity, service, and coherence. Our technology reflects who we are, and before we decorate the galaxy, we must tend our own small corner of the universe.
