The Science That Should Make You Uncomfortable

On this episode of Curiosity Theory, Dr. Dakotah Tyler and Justin Shaifer explore a wide range of scientific questions shaping our future.They discuss new research on the inverse relationship between cancer and Alzheimer’s, how aging introduces diseases evolution never prepared us for, and what might happen if humans dramatically extend lifespan. The conversation then turns to artificial intelligence, emotion, decision-making, and the growing power of algorithms to shape society.The episode also covers how the brain changes in space, the ethics of designer babies and genetic selection, and whether emerging biotech could turn inequality into biology. They close by unpacking myths about giant sea creatures, how little of the deep ocean we’ve explored, and why much of the ocean is actually nutrient-poor and sparsely populated.It’s a wide-ranging discussion about science, ethics, evolution, and unintended consequences.Visit our Merch Store https://www.curiositytheorypod.com/merchJoin our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/CuriosityTheoryFollow the show @curiositytheorypodHosted by Dr. Dakotah Tyler and Justin ShaiferStay curious.
