Mike Rose has spent the last few months working on a new
webseries, Intuitive IQ, and has finally released the first trailer for it.
This series looks to be a news/interview program, in which Rose talks to
experts and leaders of various groups, ranging from Occupy to transhumanism to
the SENS Research Foundation.
Although the trailer condenses over five hours worth of
content into little more than three minutes, it does give us a tantalizing look
at what to expect from Intuitive IQ. It seems that Rose is interested in giving
us the news from the “other” point of view – meaning the one not normally seen
in the mainstream media. It also appears that he is giving them the time to
really speak their minds and get their message to the viewer, rather than
shouting them down and forcing his own viewpoint, as so many pundits on mainstream
news channels seem to do nowadays.
The accompanying music in the trailer? U2’s “Where the
Streets Have No Name.” It’s an appropriate choice of music for many reasons
(Bono’s crusade to create a more fair and just world being the one that springs
immediately to mind). The familiar driving rhythm and timeless guitar rift have
always made me look to the unknown future in search of something better.
Judging strictly from this trailer, it seems Mike Rose is on a similar quest. I’m personally interested in following Rose
on this trip, just to see where he can lead us.
