Episode notes

We want to live longer, we want to be healthier. One of the challenges that will have to overcome on that journey is it's much more profit for people in the medical industry to do reactionary medicine than preventing something. I find this space incredibly fascinating. And i've just been shocked by some of the advancements in the last couple of 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.
