Rohit Bhargava - Non-Obvious Podcast: The Future of Exploration
What will human discovery look like in the next decade?
Everything hasn't been discovered. The two great mysteries that still exist for humankind to explore are outer space and the Earth's ocean but which will yield greater treasure? And what role will human explorers play in a world where the most hostile territories are likely to be conquered by robots rather than humans.
In this one of a kind conversation, we'll bring one of the world’s most successful female surfer together with a space systems director working on the future of space discovery to ask some big questions about the mindset, technology and commitment that will define the future of exploration itself. Is it worth it? Will and should humans continue to do it? And perhaps most importantly, will a distracted world even pay attention or see the value in the incremental discoveries that most exploration tends to yield?
With Rohit Bhargava, Layne Beachley and Dawn McIntosh.

Rohit Bhargava - Non-Obvious Podcast: The Future of Boredom
MON, OCT 16, 2:00 PM
Conference
What happens in a world without space or time to be bored?
Every waiting moment can now be filled with something. Reading, streaming, listening - all of it keeps us from the undesirable tedium of being bored. Boredom can be painful, but it can also open new spaces in our minds. So if we lose the ability to be bored, will we give up something important?
In this conversation we bring together an award-winning investigative humorist who uses comedy to make climate related stories accessible and a digital behavior expert (and creator of the term “zombie scrolling”) as we take a non-boring look at the importance of being bored … and what happens if a new generation grows up with an inability to understand what it feels like or why it might matter.
With Rohit Bhargava, Dan Ilic and Dr Joanne Orlando .
