Sean Webb has spent years exploring the outer edges of human consciousness, from techniques used at the Monroe Institute to the practice of remote viewing. He brought that background to a conversation with Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour, where the two dug into questions that rarely make it into a typical tech or business podcast.
The conversation moves quickly from grounded topics into far more speculative territory, tracing a path from consciousness expansion and precognition through to a closing question that ties it all together: what happens when artificial intelligence starts to develop something resembling emotional intelligence.
About Sean Webb

From there, his interests expanded into remote viewing, a practice associated with researchers like Joe McMoneagle and historical intelligence-community experiments.
Across the conversation, Sean Webb frames his work as personal exploration rather than settled science, discussing topics like precognition, the Global Consciousness Project, and what he describes as encounters with non-human intelligence. It's a body of work built on firsthand experience and curiosity about questions mainstream research hasn't fully answered.
