From emotional AI in your household gadgets to chickens being re-engineered with feathers, this episode explores the fascinating (and sometimes bizarre) intersections of science, technology, and human history. We dive into breakthroughs like AI making stem cell development 50x faster, studies suggesting our ancestors tried to hibernate, and why self-driving car fleets could actually make traffic worse. Plus, we unpack big questions like whether dark matter predates the Big Bang and why the most important skill of the future might just be “learning how to learn.”

Curious, fun, and forward-thinking—this episode is your shortcut to understanding how weird and wild the future is getting.
