I am kicking off this year with a special new show called GerdTalks, uma série quinzenal de eventos LIVE gratuitos transmitidos via o meu canal no YouTube (and probably on LinkedIn, soon, as well).

Each show features 15 minutes of fast-paced presenting on current yet future-relevant topics (such as this thing called the Metaverso), after which my viewers can interact with me via chat and messages (and twitter, soon, as well) and ask questions in real-time. I will also bring in some special guests from time to time.

Fique atento and / or sign up for more details via Eventbrite or of course via Youtube (subscribe and hit the notify me – bell:).

I'll be using the new YoloBox Pro live-streaming box – I found that it solves so many problems for me, and it's so easy to use for my online keynotes. The inaugural session's topic was ‘Future Mindset' and this is how it went, below (you can also watch or descarregue o episódio completo no Vimeo!)

This show will be geared especially to all my Youtube subscribers, social media followers, readers, and viewers. The next one will be on the #metaverse – or what I have started calling the MetaPERverse :).

I will present my thoughts on the ideas behind the metaverse aka what I call the MetaPERverse (approx. 15 minutes) and outline where I think this is going, followed by 20+ minutes of open q&a via Youtube chat / comments.

"O chamado metaverso é a última e mais ousada tentativa de substituir as relações e experiências humanas por simulações altamente monetizáveis, reduzindo a vida humana complexa a feeds de dados, gráficos extravagantes e conveniência alimentada por IA: Alucinações consensuais vendidas como "capacitação humana". Devemos ter cuidado com o que desejamos - por exemplo, viver num mundo novo, ultra-conveniente e espantoso, onde podemos ser qualquer pessoa e fazer qualquer coisa - pois podemos descobrir que as nossas novas habitações virtuais podem aparentemente permitir-nos ganhar algumas novas riquezas, ao mesmo tempo que põem em perigo a nossa própria humanidade e nos afastam da verdadeira felicidade"

The next session is happening January 31st at 6pm CET, 5pm UK, 12 noon EST, 9am PST, 10pm Dubai etc. Going forward you can subscribe to GerdTalks on YouTube. You can also sign up via https://gerd.fm/eventbrite to receive email updates etc.
