Episode notes

I think the one thing you can bet on is that overtime, we'll find ways to reduce friction across the various domains in which we have to interact. And so whether it's payments or currencies, et cetera, i think there will be just less friction in the future than there is now. Agreed. I think another angle that's been catching my eye recently is the idea of wars and how they're fought. There have been forms of digital warfare already, things like government agencies or power lines being hacked. But i do wonder how that evolves over time. Like, what does warfare look like in a hundred years?

"The only constant is change", they say.

In this episode, Cal and Steph discuss just how drastically the world has changed and will continue to change.

From the iPhone... to the Internet... to antibiotics... to human flight... to to the sequencing of DNA... to perhaps the most important fact that humans now live more than double as long... these developments all happened within the last 100 years.

Given that things within a single lifetime can go from being inconceivable to ubiquitous, it's mind-blowing to imagine what might be come.

They use the remainder of the episode to explore what might be to come, whether it be proactive medicine, computer-brain interfaces, printed food, digital warfare, and much more.
