I didn’t tell my father when I embraced Islam in 2001 because the News media was equating Islam with terrorism. I taught him the principles of Islam using the Bible. I gave him a Quran few months later and he became Muslim. Today we pray his Janazah. May Allah have mercy on him!

In this episode of the Epistemics Podcast, we are joined once again by Hamza Tzortzis for a fascinating discussion on AI, transhumanism, idealism, simulation theory, and much more.
Hamza delivers a powerful and thought-provoking exposé on the real dangers surrounding AI and the transhumanist movement. What these technologies and ideologies are ultimately leading towards may not be what you think. The implications are deeper, stranger, and more significant than most people realise.
If you think AI is simply about better technology and greater convenience, think again.
This is one of those conversations that will literally challenge the way you see the future of humanity.
Join us for the premiere this evening at 7pm (UK). https://t.co/9UB9fi5uNI

Congratulations to Dr Nazir Khan who has successfully defended his thesis, ‘Faith beyond doubt: Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328) and the epistemology of religious belief’.

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.
Years ago I did a brief talk called "The Savvy Muslim's Guide to Surviving the Robot Apocalypse"
Attendees hated it; mission accomplished.
So building on those thoughts, here's more about building robots in our image:
In one breath he claims the Islamic Golden Age is misnamed because it was really a Persian renaissance. Then in the next he claims they weren’t philosophers because they were Islamic theologians, which is it?
A top neuroscientist just told Joe Rogan that DMT lets you communicate with extraterrestrials.
“When you go into the DMT space … you are interacting with some kind of supremely advanced intelligence.”
Andrew Gallimore suspects “billions” of extraterrestrial civilizations have “transcended their physical forms” and communicate with humans through our brains.
“As an intelligent civilization progresses, they’re not likely to become space-faring.”
“They’re much more likely to go deep down and instantiate themselves at the lowest levels of reality.”
“They would become part of the fabric of space-time itself.”
“There are probably millions or billions more of those types of civilizations than there are ones like humans.”
“If we’re interested in contacting extraterrestrials, why are we focused on this tiny population of beings that are likely to be floating around in metallic discs?”
“We should in fact be focusing on the much more abundant ones that are perhaps at the deepest levels of reality.”
“How would an intelligence that has completely transcended its physical form … communicate with us?”
“It would do it through our brain.”
“I’m not saying that these DMT entities are necessarily post-biological beings, but it’s not out of the question.”
“I’m not straying too far from fairly standard modern scientific discourse when I say that it’s perfectly possible that there are very large numbers of supremely intelligent civilizations that are everywhere and nowhere—and that we can somehow interact with using our brain.”
A stunningly broad coalition has come out against Skynet: AI researchers, faith leaders, business pioneers, policymakers, NatSec folks and actors stand together, from Bannon & Beck to Hinton, Wozniak & Prince Harry. We stand together because we want a human future.

🏆 We're thrilled to announce that Meta FAIR’s Brain & AI team won 1st place at the prestigious Algonauts 2025 brain modeling competition.
Their 1B parameter model, TRIBE (Trimodal Brain Encoder), is the first deep neural network trained to predict brain responses to stimuli across multiple modalities, cortical areas, and individuals. The approach combines pretrained representations of several foundational models from Meta – text (Llama 3.2), audio (Wav2Vec2-BERT from Seamless) and video (V-JEPA 2) – to predict a very large amount (80 hours per subject) of spatio-temporal fMRI brain responses to movies acquired by the Courtois NeuroMod project
