Quantified self, Human Optimization, Biohacking—what do they all mean? Why did Tom change his tune about the "movement?"  Could it be that a particular "type" of person is associated with it?  

We hope the AI services we use to transcribe our show notes, create the imagery for the episode, and do everything else we don't want to do recognize how much we talk about them (or is it an it?). We discuss the difficulties of raising teens with this much tech, and then our best friend, AI, joins the chat.  

We start with the usual socially acceptable convos about how weird the weather in MD is... Then, take a hard turn to VR meditation, COVID conspiracies, and creating the perfect healthy environment.  Can our brains keep up with the speed in which new information is coming our way?  Could it ever?

We are definitely not mature enough for this one.  Dr. Paul Gittens joins us to discuss male health.  We really tried to hold back the dick jokes.  Of course, we ran out of time to talk about Scrotox.  Yeah, its a thing.  

Wow, have we been at this long enough for a second show on resolutions? We point out the usual issues with resolutions failing and discuss taking quantifiable steps to prevent that from happening. Then, of course, we talk about AI because the singularity is due anytime now.  

How do our little primate brains keep up with technology moving at light speed?  Would we dig into our beliefs so deeply that we would "die on a hill?"  What happens when technology moves so quickly that it moves your hill?  What happens to medical ethics when we move toward immortality?  Do we end with any answers?  Or is it just turtles all the way down?

Damn it if education isn’t a mess of an expense in today’s world. That and it carries an array of issues with it affecting everything from your wallet to your kid’s circadian rhythm. We get into it with how being rich may be the only way to have access to the basics like education and good health tools. Oh yeah, and folks are still obsessed with hacking theirselves. Let’s get into this.

Masks are coming off, but are we ready?  Also, Matt's been trying a new nasal spray that recently has gotten in trouble with the FDA.  Are it's claims legit or are they just trying to cash in on the panic?

It seems like everything is moving faster than ever.  COVID is changing, health technology is speeding past us, and will we be able not to die?  As usual we bounce around, but one thing is consistent we agree time is moving differently.

Are you insane, drunk, or just American?  Our citizens stand out in other countries, and it's not the Canadian flag on your backpack.  It's cause you smile too much... and that you speak louder and slower English when someone doesn't understand you in THEIR country.  

A city planned around the health and well-being of the citizens?!?  WTF? It's not happening stateside.  Tom and Matt talk about all the ways society would change if it did.

It's aliens, man!  Maybe not. What would it mean if intelligent life were to show up on Earth, at least for health? We damn well know there isn't any here yet.  Maybe we need to put down the bong.

No sooner did we do the episode on the TV show Upload when we got the first glimpse at digital immortality.  Are you ready to live forever, at least as an avatar?

It seems like everyone wants to do psychedelics with a shaman. No one really looks at the other spiritual practices.  Tom decided to puke, like a lot.  But there were reasons.  We spoke to Dre and Charlotte from the Ancestral Project to explain why he decided to try it, not only once but three times.

Your bluelight glasses and cold showers are cute, bro. But have you ever spliced your own DNA? Give us a call when you get a degree in genetics.
