“Sanity is a madness put to good uses.” - George Santayana
Right now, in an undisclosed laboratory researchers are working hard on technology that will destroy everything you know. That could be through the development of job replacing autonomous robots or through the accidental development of superintelligent AI which see's no difference between preserving life and bending paper clips. This is the world we live in.
Mad Scientists are something of an overdone movie trope but in real life they're everywhere you look. In our headlong rush to race down the razors edge of technological innovation sometimes we fail to recognize the dangers within the fruits of our labors. In this episode we discuss the threat posed by rouge science and the people who love it.

Welcome to Oddnormal. If you’re wondering what happened to the podcast I assure you it will be back. I’m not sure when quite yet but it’s not gone for good. I’m currently working with the format to match my original intention. My hope is to have episodes out later this year.
But if you were a fan of the show I have done good news. Jacks and I have started a new podcast called Far Off Topic which embraces our love of tangentiality.
In most respects far Off Topic is a continuation of Oddnormal just with a few tweaks here and there for good measure. We’ve really broadened our scope to include topics and ideas that really didn’t fit with Oddnormal ethos. But we haven’t abandoned the Strangeness. God no. Instead we’ve thrown everything together - all of our crazy interests - into an aural cauldron of discordant thoughts and ideas for your listening pleasure.
well, rather than explain it to you I’ve gone ahead and uploaded this short version of Far Off Topic for you to sample.
Hopefully you like it and subscribe.
Far Off Topic is hosted by Fiasco Jones with Mr. Glasses

After taking a few months off Fiasco and Jacks are back with a quasi-new podcast. Well, marginally new. Far Off Topic continues in the vein of Oddnormal with a few tweaks.
Far Off Topic is an ever evolving discussion of obscure or otherwise unconsidered ideas that lie on the untamed outskirts of public attention. As well as conversations about everything else that is of interest to us. Far Off Topic is a podcast without restrictions on subject.
Essentially Oddnormal was really never meant to stray from topics of the strange and bizarre. In that way it was restricted, and honestly, that's the way I wanted to keep it. So moving forward, Oddnormal will get a new format and concentrate on oddnormal things and Far Off Topic will continue on the path that the first season of Oddnormal has previously set with lively conversations and much more.
Are we reaching a point of mass hysteria and general incivility where the only resolution is the dissolution on the United States? Perhaps not yet, but some think we’ve already transitioned into a soft civil war and that soon things may harden up into a gross cake-like confection of populist rage that kills whoever eats it.

The human body is a masterpiece of imperfection. And there are a myriad of peopler and subcultures at the ready to fill your particular need. Body modification can contour your body into otherwise unimaginable shapes while Bio-Hackers may experiment with you outside the watchful eyes of government regulators. Desire to become more machine than man, then the burgeoning Transhumanist movement may be what you're looking for.
On this episode of Oddnormal we're diving into the overlooked world of Body-modders, Bio-Hackers and DIY cyborgs.
