Episode notes

I think companies will invest heavily in automation, which means making supply chains less reliant on people and more on robots. And to your point on will people be cooking in a hundred years, you can imagine a world in which your robot just shows up at your house with a nicely fresh cooked meal that's optimized based on what spikes your blood sugar or not. Maybe this whole concept of afridge and going to the grocery store and all that just won't even be there, because we're lazy and we want a frictionless experience in life.

"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.
