About this listen

As Gen X and Baby Boomers, we grew up in a world of rotary phones, film cameras, and science fiction that stayed safely on the page. Over the years, we’ve watched ideas once considered impossible quietly become part of everyday life. That fascinates us.

In the 1950s, we were told we’d have flying cars by 2020. In the 1970s, we were told computers would take over the world. In the 1990s, we were told the internet would change our lives. Now, on the edge of artificial intelligence, we’re told robots will be driving our cars any day now. Some of those predictions came true. Some were mostly hype.

On 4DSci, we sit down together with scientists, engineers, technologists, and creators and ask questions. Not as experts and not as skeptics, but as people who want to understand how these things work, what they mean for the world we live in now, and what they may mean for the world to come.

If you’re curious about artificial intelligence, emerging science, new inventions, or the quieter shifts happening all around us, this is a place to explore them without hype or jargon. Just conversation, curiosity, and a shared interest in how we got here and where we might be going.

  • AI, Investing, and Wall Street with James Barrineau

    AI, Investing, and Wall Street with James Barrineau
    Feb 13 2026

    Artificial intelligence is steadily reshaping Wall Street. From compliance and credit analysis to investment research and trading tools, AI is speeding up the mechanics of finance. But speed is not the same as wisdom. In this episode of 4DSci, former Wall Street strategist James Barrineau joins us to explore what AI is actually doing inside the financial industry and where human judgment still matters most. We talk about accuracy, risk, emotional discipline, and whether everyday investors should trust AI driven tools with their money. It is a grounded conversation about where we are today and what the next decade of investing might really look like.

  • AI, Flow State, and the Future of Learning Music with Patrick Boylan

    AI, Flow State, and the Future of Learning Music with Patrick Boylan
    Feb 13 2026

    Music is something many of us meant to learn.

    Then life filled up. School moved on. And somewhere along the way, a lot of us quietly decided we just were not musical.

    In this episode of 4DSci, we sit down with Patrick Boylan to explore something deeper than music lessons. We talk about flow state, that focused space where challenge meets skill and time seems to disappear. And we look at how modern technology might be helping us find that state again.

    What happens when artificial intelligence is not trying to replace creativity, but instead supports it? What if learning music did not mean memorizing songs or grinding through theory, but instead meeting us exactly where we are?

    Patrick shares how real time feedback, adaptive systems, and AI assisted music generation are being used to rethink how we learn. Not just for students. Not just for professionals. But for adults who may finally have the time and curiosity to return to something they once loved.

    We also explore a bigger question. If technology can personalize music education in this way, what does that say about the future of learning itself?

    This conversation is not about hype. It is about understanding how tools evolve and how they can help us reconnect with focus, creativity, and maybe even a little joy.

    Because the future of technology is not just about what machines can do.

    It is about what we can experience with them.
