This episode unfolds and takes an unexpected turn as we get to know the real Faith Popcorn, her journey to the top and secrets how you can predict the future and so much more.

Here is a summary of what goes down in this episode:
Ms Popcorn is losing faith.
Why?

She reading the signs of the times and she says we are living in the age of narcissism. Men are threatened by their own achievements - accelerating into a dangerous future.

It's not all bad - Existential crisis of peacocks forcing reflection and fluidity so a sense of gender community may not be the key anymore - fluidity is.

Popcorn then gets into AI and how it is an extension of us - this is why we have to scrub ourselves and make sure AI is scrubbed too. Governments should insist on clear AI the way we aim for clean water and air.

Seeing the future isn’t hard if you’re smart - it just takes thought. What you need to do is come back to the present and start looking for signs and signals to confirm.

Faith jokes that she has abandonment issues, and like a pair of empathy bloodhounds, we sniff out her past, something she says she’s never been asked about and is really stumped by Carmen’s brilliant question.

A little girl ripped from her beloved Jewish New Yorker Bubba and Zeida and deposited in a catholic convent in Hong Kong by her CIA dad - we are not surprised.
