On this episode of Neon Galactic, we sit down with ufological royalty -- Paul Hynek, son of legendary ufologist J. Allen Hynek, who joins us to talk about his father's legacy, his experiences with DMT, his thoughts on the nature and intent of non-human intelligences, and how AI represents both an opportunity and a threat to the human species.

Hynek is an entrepreneur and futurist, a transhumanist and movie producer. He has an MBA from Wharton, and works as an adjunct professor of finance and accounting at Pepperdine University.

In addition to fostering the genesis and growth of thousands of software and tech start-ups, he’s been instrumental in the making of such films as Avatar, Lord of the Rings, Planet of the Apes, Tintin, Real Steel, Warcraft, and The Hobbit, as well as the video games Halo and Call of Duty.

His interests seem to include both the woo aspects of ufology, how the phenomenon may include and intersect with metaphysical notions of being and existence, as well as a robust and practical interest in the technology.

We discuss Hynek's belief that humans will eventually upload their consciousness into computers and thereby achieve immortality, as well as the mechanisms that could make that possible.

We also discuss Hynek's role in a company that's seeking to extend human life, and how his interest in the company came about through his own participation in early trials.

Hynek also describes his other passion -- Bitcoin and blockchain technology -- and how humanity's discovery and use of that tech may have been the trigger that ignited humanity's apparently ongoing contact experience with NHI. Hynek believes that NHI to be post biological.
