| ROBOTICS PROFESSOR: "AI Is Becoming Self-Aware! Here’s the Biggest Danger!" | 22 Oct 2026 | 01:21:35 | |
Is “AI will destroy humanity” a real risk, or a story we tell ourselves because we haven’t done the hard engineering? This episode is brought to you by AgelessRx, where aging becomes a puzzle that can be solved. The mission is to help you live longer and healthier by adding more life to your years through science-backed solutions and personalized care. Learn more at agelessrx.com/beyond-tomorrow. This conversation opens with a simple question to roboticist Hod Lipson, the mind behind Emo: does he feel like a villain? His answer is honest. He’s both excited and terrified, like someone being told an alien race is about to arrive and being asked whether to welcome them. From there, the discussion turns to why robot faces are so hard to build, and why he thinks the moment a robot genuinely smiles back at you will change how we connect with machines. Then it gets into the harder questions. Hod is firm that AI won’t wipe out humanity, and he’s challenged more than once on superintelligence, on who benefits from the fear, and on whether nested sandboxes and “AI cops” can really keep us safe. The conversation also explores what it means for a robot to be self-aware, robots that repair and even “eat” each other, why he worries about kids and students whose best friend is an AI, and how any of us finds meaning when machines can do almost everything. It closes with the best advice he’s ever been given. About Hod Lipson Hod Lipson is a roboticist and AI researcher who leads work on Emo, a robot focused on realistic facial expression and lip movement. His research spans robot self-awareness, self-repairing and self-reproducing robots, and AI in agriculture. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:08 Do You Feel Like a Villain?

| 4 Longevity Legends Debate Each Other About Human Flourishing | 15 Oct 2026 | 01:03:01 | |
What if the fastest way to a longer life isn't a miracle drug, but a wartime mentality against aging? This episode is brought to you by AgelessRx, where aging becomes a puzzle that can be solved. The mission is to help you live longer and healthier by adding more life to your years through science-backed solutions and personalized care. Learn more at agelessrx.com/beyond-tomorrow. Curious about quantum energy wellness? Check out Leela Quantum Tech. Check out https://leelaq.com/ On this episode of Beyond Tomorrow, four heavyweights of the longevity field take a rapid-fire statement format and turn it into a real debate. Aubrey de Grey, Alex Zhavoronkov (Insilico Medicine), George Church (Harvard Medical School), Michael Ringel (Life Biosciences) argue over whether hype helps or hurts the field, and when longevity escape velocity, the point where damage is repaired faster than it accumulates, might actually arrive. Aubrey puts it at a 50/50 chance within 12 to 15 years. Alex says 20 to 50 years and doubts drugs alone can get there. Michael pushes back on the idea of infinite lifespans entirely, while George suggests we may already be gaining years without the evidence to prove it. From there the panel digs into the FDA's new interest in aging, why the TAME metformin trial never opened the floodgates, and whether AI will really shrink clinical timelines. George cites a gene therapy that reached a patient in seven months, while Alex, running many programs, argues that biology still moves at the speed of traffic. The back half covers biohacking and early adopters, the gap between everyday "longevity" and longevity biotechnology, the science of epigenetic reprogramming, what could happen by the XPRIZE Healthspan deadline in 2030, and what each panelist thinks the "ChatGPT moment" for longevity will look like. About the Panelists Aubrey de Grey has spent his entire career in the nonprofit sector, coined the term longevity escape velocity, and has been signed up with Alcor for cryonic preservation since 2002. Alex Zhavoronkov is the founder and CEO of Insilico Medicine, a public biotech company with a large pipeline of drug programs that uses AI to compress early discovery work. George Church is a Harvard Medical School geneticist and an optimist on gene therapy and exponential technologies, who argues that regulators embrace new technology and that trial parallelism could dramatically cut development time. Michael Ringel left a career at BCG to join Life Biosciences as chief operating officer, where he works on epigenetic restoration as a path to treating age-related disease and, ultimately, aging itself. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:20 Is Hype Necessary for Longevity? 02:49 When Hype Goes Too Far 04:14 When Can Longevity Escape Velocity Happen? 09:52 The FDA and Aging as a Focus Area 19:49 Will AI Transform Longevity Research? 24:04 Can AI Shorten Clinical Trials? 26:57 AI Optimists vs. Skeptics 28:38 Alex on Being the Field’s Biggest Skeptic 32:00 Do Critics Need a Drug in the Clinic? 35:24 When Criticism Does Harm 36:45 Is Biohacking Hurting Longevity’s Credibility? 46:57 What Could Be Possible by 2030? 50:49 Optimism vs. Skepticism: Final Thoughts 54:01 Cryonics 54:36 The Longevity “ChatGPT Moment” Connect with Aubrey: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aubrey-de-grey-24260b Connect with Alex: X: https://x.com/biogerontology LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zhavoronkov Connect with George: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-church-2b86301 Website: https://colossal.com/george-church/ Connect with Michael: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-ringel-b272a2 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msringel/ Connect with Julian Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast / @juliankissa LinkedIn: julian-issa X: @juliankissa Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com | |||

| MIT Professor & AI Doomer Admits He Was WRONG (Ramesh Raskar) | 08 Oct 2026 | 01:06:16 | |
What happens when millions of people hand their lives to AI agents, and nobody has built the rules of the road? This episode is brought to you by AgelessRx, where aging becomes a puzzle that can be solved. The mission is to help you live longer and healthier by adding more life to your years through science-backed solutions and personalized care. Learn more at agelessrx.com/beyond-tomorrow. MIT Media Lab professor Ramesh Raskar argues the real danger isn't the AI engine, it's agents with no governance. His case: decentralize AI so billions of people run their own agents, and build the licences, inspections and audit trails agents need, instead of trusting a few labs to make the engine safe. His P(doom) has fallen from 90% to under 10%. The conversation covers what an AI agent actually is, personal agents like Dot, Muse, Instinct and CC, the DRIVE framework for gradually trusting an agent, why there's no such thing as "zero-shot AGI," the OpenAI and Hugging Face incident, prompt injection, and the shift from an attention economy to an intention economy. One question runs through it all: can we get the benefits of AI agents without handing control to a handful of companies, or to the agents themselves? Ramesh's answer: don't just build better engines, build the roads, the rules and the governance. Key Takeaways
About Ramesh Raskar Ramesh Raskar is a professor at the MIT Media Lab, where he works on decentralized AI and the Internet of Agents. His research focuses on how personal AI agents can be built so power stays distributed instead of concentrated in a few companies. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:00 Why AI Is Moving So Fast: The Intelligence Economy 01:27 What Is an AI Agent, Really? 04:00 Ramesh's P(Doom) Update 05:46 Is Decentralized AI Safer Than Centralized AI? 09:54 How to Use Personal AI Agents (Dot, Muse, Instinct) 13:35 Will AI Agents Become the New Super App? 17:44 The Agentic Web Explained 20:14 Can Personal Superintelligence Exist? 25:17 A Model That Learns How to Learn Everything 29:19 AI Literacy: What to Do If You're Not Using AI 31:16 From OpenClaw to Muse 36:25 It's Not About Bigger Models, It's About Better Agents 37:51 Road Safety Rules for AI Agents 42:58 What a Safe Agentic World Looks Like 44:23 Surfing the Web With AI Agents 48:44 Voice, Screens or Taps?

| BT Clip: Scientist Exposes The Dangers of AI Super Intelligence (Roman Yampolskiy) | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:10:50 | |
AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy breaks down his P(doom) estimate and why he believes artificial superintelligence could be a death sentence for humanity if development keeps moving this fast. His warning isn't anti-AI — it's a case for keeping AI as a tool we control, not a replacement for human judgment.

| Ex-DeepMind Scientist WARNS: Why We Still Can’t Trust Today’s AI | 02 Oct 2026 | 01:43:28 | |
Is "AI is dangerous" a warning, or the world's best marketing line? This episode is brought to you by AgelessRx, where aging becomes a puzzle that can be solved. The mission is to help you live longer and healthier by adding more life to your years through science-backed solutions and personalized care. Learn more at agelessrx.com/beyond-tomorrow. On this episode of Beyond Tomorrow, I sit down with Thore Graepel, co-creator of AlphaGo and former researcher at Google DeepMind. I asked him straight up how close we are to superintelligence, and his answer surprised me: there won't be a single moment we can point to, and he argues human organizations like companies already count as a form of superintelligence. We get into why he thinks "AI will destroy humanity" is the biggest myth in the field, the near-term risks he does take seriously, and why I pushed him on the incentives behind the AI safety messaging coming from the labs. From there we go deep on his core technical argument: that today's transformers are black boxes that mix knowledge and reasoning in the same weights, and that scaling alone will never make them trustworthy. He lays out a different approach built on explicit beliefs, hypotheses and evidence, and I found it one of the clearest explanations of AI transparency I've heard. In the back half, we talk about his time at Altos Labs, why biology is a reality check for the "cure all disease in 10 years" claims, and his cell annealing theory of rejuvenation. Key Takeaways
About Thore Graepel Thore Graepel is a computer scientist and AI researcher who recently left Google DeepMind, where he was a co-creator of AlphaGo and worked on multi-agent systems, reasoning and consciousness research. He has also spent time at Altos Labs, applying his machine learning and physics background to cellular rejuvenation, and writes about AI, reasoning and safety on Substack. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:06 How Close Are We to Superintelligence? 01:42 Are Human Organizations Already Superintelligent? 02:56 Is Anyone Trying to Destroy Humanity? 04:45 Near-Term Risks: Jobs and the Economy 08:08 Why the Transition Will Be Hard 10:06 Post-AGI Planning and the Case for Positive Futures 14:35 Capability vs. Diffusion: The Train Driver Problem 16:46 Optimization vs. Game Theory 18:53 The Incentives Behind AI Safety Messaging 22:26 What Is Thore's P(doom)? 23:25 Why Transformers Are Black Boxes 29:19 How Do We Build Safer, More Transparent AI? 33:01 Separating Knowledge From Reasoning 37:39 Safety vs. Capability and the Trust Ceiling 39:45 Narrow AI vs. General AI 44:02 Do You Believe in God? 47:15 Consciousness and Whether LLMs Are Alive 51:08 AlphaGo and Move 37 58:29 Credit Assignment and Moral Reasoning 01:04:31 Who Sets the Moral Guardrails? 01:09:37 The AGI Race: US vs. China 01:11:53 Longevity and Altos Labs 01:16:01 The Biology Reality Check 01:23:04 Pockets of Computability and AlphaFold 01:26:05 Yamanaka Factors and Cell Annealing 01:35:51 Will the Singularity Happen in Your Lifetime? 01:36:49 Rapid Fire Questions with Thore 01:41:35 Thore's Best Piece of Advice Resources & Mentions AlphaGo and AlphaFold (Google DeepMind) Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman Stephen Wolfram's "pockets of computability" David Deutsch on simulation and the limits of experiment Thore's Substack Connect with Thore: Github: https://thoregraepel.github.io/ LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/thoregraepel Connect with Julian Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast / @juliankissa LinkedIn: julian-issa X: @juliankissa Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com | |||
| Dr Mike Israetel: ‘’ALMOST EVERY American Should Be On GLP-1s, Here’s Why!’’ | 24 Sep 2026 | 01:51:32 | |
What if vanity was actually the smart way into a longer, healthier life? This episode is brought to you by AgelessRx, where aging becomes a puzzle that can be solved. Their mission is to help you live longer and healthier by adding more life to your years through science-backed solutions and personalized care. Learn more at agelessrx.com/beyond-tomorrow. On this episode of Beyond Tomorrow, Dr. Mike Israetel breaks down what's actually happening in his own bloodstream: 5mg/week of tirzepatide year-round, plus retatrutide during fat-loss phases, and why he thinks “GLP-2” is a gray-market marketing term with no basis in real receptor biology. He walks through the non-weight-loss case for these drugs, reduced systemic and neural inflammation, better glucose control, emerging anti-cancer data, and a documented drop in addictive behaviors from gambling to alcohol to cigarettes, before getting honest about the tradeoffs: undernutrition, anhedonia, and a long-term data set that, by his own admission, will never be “complete enough” for some critics. From there the conversation moves into gray-market peptides, why Mike separates his own risk tolerance from what he'd recommend to the public, and why there currently isn't a single peptide he'd recommend for muscle growth despite the demand. The back half covers his real thesis: that appearance, not health, is the most reliable motivator most people actually respond to and that chasing it tends to produce the same outcomes doctors have failed for decades to sell through fear. Key Takeaways Mike takes tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) year-round at 5mg/week and adds retatrutide during cutting phases, both well within studied dose ranges He argues most GLP-1 “anhedonia” is caloric-deficit anhedonia, not a direct drug effect, the same thing bodybuilders experience on any aggressive diet New aggregate mortality data shows older adults on GLP-1s die less than those who aren't, which he says partially answers the “but will it kill you later” question There is currently no peptide he'd recommend for muscle growth, a claim he says consistently disappoints people who ask His core argument: use appearance as the entry point (build muscle, lose fat, sleep better) and let the longevity benefits follow, rather than trying to motivate people with 30-years-out health outcomes Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:10 Is GLP-1 a Bad Idea? 08:55 The Seatbelt Analogy for Drugs 10:30 The Peptide That's Not FDA-Approved Yet 11:30 Exactly What Mike Takes Every Week 13:59 Stacking Peptides: an N-of-1 Experiment 15:11 Why Mike Takes Anabolic Steroids 16:42 The Drug That Could Replace Steroids 18:48 Why Mike Takes Tirzepatide and Retatrutide 21:45 20-Year Life Extension 25:34 Mike's Full Daily Stack 30:47 The Looksmaxxing Trojan Horse 35:35 Sick Care vs. Health Care 38:14 Three Exercises You Can Do Today 40:36 Critiquing Brian Johnson's Protocol 43:31 Is There a One-Size-Fits-All Workout? 46:06 Zone 2 vs. Zone 5 Training 52:21 Why Most Biohacking Is a Waste of Money 54:01 Is HIIT Still the Rage? 57:09 Escaping Poverty, Fueling Success 01:04:53 Why People Take Extreme Measures to Look Good 01:08:24 Moving Past GLP-1 01:14:52 Everyone Will Look 22 by 2037 01:18:24 Would You Date a 90-Year-Old? 01:24:52 Beauty Standards in a Post-GLP-1 World 01:25:37 The Cybernetic Revolution 01:28:25 Living Forever in a Robot Body 01:36:29 Will AI Cause Human Extinction? 01:43:28 The Biggest Myth About Weight Loss 01:44:02 Rapid Fire Questions with Mike 01:48:06 Mike's Best Piece of Advice Connect with Mike: Website: rpstrength.com/ Facebook: facebook.com/michael.israetel Instagram: @drmikeisraetel X: @misraetel Connect with Julian Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast / @juliankissa LinkedIn: julian-issa X: @juliankissa Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com | |||
| AI Safety Expert Roman Yampolskiy WARNS About the TWO Likely Endings with AI | 17 Sep 2026 | 01:02:53 | |
What happens when the technology we build becomes smarter than the people who built it? This episode is brought to you by AgelessRx, where aging becomes a puzzle that can be solved. The mission is to help you live longer and healthier by adding more life to your years through science-backed solutions and personalized care. Learn more at http://agelessrx.com/beyond-tomorrow AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy argues the real danger isn't AI, it's building a superintelligence we can no longer control. His case: solve problems with narrow, powerful tools instead, and still get breakthroughs in medicine, science, and productivity, without that risk. The conversation covers AGI, recursive self-improvement, the singularity, and the existential and "suffering" risks they raise, plus what mass automation could mean for work and purpose. From international AI agreements to human longevity, one question runs through it all: can we get the benefits of advanced AI without losing control of it? Yampolskiy's answer: keep building tools, not our replacement. Roman Yampolskiy is an AI safety researcher and professor who studies the risks and implications of artificial intelligence. His work focuses on the challenge of controlling increasingly capable AI systems and the potential consequences of superintelligence. Roman’s book, AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable, explores the various reasons why the field is so challenging. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:43 Can We Build AI By Design to Avoid Catastrophe? 01:49 AI Superintelligence Is a Death Sentence 03:12 What Is AGI, Really? 04:26 OpenAI's Plan to Build an Internal AGI 04:59 Why Superintelligence Won't Care About Us 06:45 We're Going to Die Anyway...

| DAVID EAGLEMAN: The END of Human Presidents is COMING. Should We Worry? | 10 Sep 2026 | 00:45:40 | |
Could an AI actually run the country better than a person could? This episode is brought to you by AgelessRx, where aging becomes a puzzle that can be solved. The mission is to help you live longer and healthier by adding more life to your years through science-backed solutions and personalized care. Learn more at http://agelessrx.com/beyond-tomorrow David Eagleman doesn't shy away from the question. He lays out the case for an AI president, one that could crunch more data than any human cabinet, sidestep the ego and grudges that shape so many political decisions, and maybe even out-think our worst instincts. Sounds great, until you ask the harder questions. Who writes the code that decides what "the greater good" means? Can a machine actually be moral, or just really good at faking it? And if an AI ever did hold real power, who's holding the leash? We get into all of it: democracy, tribalism, consciousness, and how close we actually are to AGI. David doesn't pretend to have it all figured out but he makes a compelling case that the ground is shifting faster than most of us realize. David Eagleman is a neuroscientist at Stanford University and an internationally bestselling author. He is co-founder of several neurotech companies, including Jojo, BrainCheck, and Neosensory, and he also directs the Center for Science and Law, a national non-profit institute. He is best known for his work on sensory substitution, time perception, brain plasticity, synesthesia, and neurolaw. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:05 Are We in the Middle of AGI? 03:26 AI’s Greatest Advantage 04:25 The Case for a Utilitarian AI President 07:16 Who Defines AI’s Parameters? 09:06 The Danger of Politically Biased AI 11:49 Behind the Scenes 12:33 Are We Ready for an AI President? 14:41 What Should an AI Government Optimize For? 18:31 How Soon Could We Have an AI President? 22:24 The Trolley Problem and AI Morality 27:54 What Happens When Humans Have Too Much Free Time? 29:07 The Neuroscience of Tribalism 30:13 The Neural Basis of Empathy 31:24 Why We’re Wired for Us vs. Them 32:43 Can AI Become Conscious? 33:51 Could AI Eradicate Humanity? 35:51 Artificial Wisdom and AI Guardrails 38:57 AGI Is Already Happening 41:22 An AI President in Our Lifetime 43:26 The Biggest Fear About AI Connect with David: Website: https://eagleman.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/David.M.Eagleman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davideagleman/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davideagleman X: https://x.com/davideagleman TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drdavideagleman

| BT Clip: AGI Pioneers: ChatGPT Won’t Get Us to AGI.. Here’s What Will (Ben Goertzel) | 01 Sep 2026 | 00:09:22 | |
Are large language models like ChatGPT and Claude enough to create AGI?In this clip, Ben Goertzel explains why today’s LLMs are incredibly powerful, but still fundamentally different from true artificial general intelligence.He argues that simply building a bigger version of ChatGPT or Claude is unlikely to produce human-level AGI. Instead, reaching AGI will require new AI architectures that can go beyond their training, generalize to unfamiliar problems and make genuinely novel leaps in reasoning.Ben also explains why current models can already outperform humans in areas like coding, mathematics and knowledge retrieval, while still struggling with the kind of imagination and general intelligence humans use to push beyond existing knowledge.

Get 20% off your first order at agelessrx.com using code BEYONDTOMORROW AI may be changing more than how we work. Joscha Bach argues that it could fundamentally reshape how we think, relate to others, and understand ourselves. The future may be difficult to predict because technology is changing the very models we use to understand it. The conversation moves from AI agents and universal basic intelligence to consciousness and agency. Bach explores whether machines could become more than tools, and whether AI might eventually extend human minds and biology onto new substrates. But the biggest question may not be whether AI becomes conscious. It is whether humanity can build and govern these systems wisely. Bach argues that AI could make society more capable, but only if we develop better incentives, stronger long-term thinking, and a positive vision for the future. Joscha Bach is a computer scientist, philosopher, and researcher focused on artificial intelligence, cognition, and machine consciousness. He founded the California Institute for Machine Consciousness to explore how minds can self-organize through controlled experiments. What You’ll Learn

| Cuba Expert: This Will START the US Attack on Cuba SOON! | 23 May 2026 | 00:59:28 | |
Could Cuba become America’s next geopolitical flashpoint? Cuba remains one of the most politically charged issues in American foreign policy. More than 60 years after the Cuban Revolution, debates around sanctions, regime change, and military intervention are once again intensifying. In this episode, Mikael Wolfe explains why Cuba is fundamentally different from Venezuela and Iran, and why a U.S. intervention would be far more complicated than many assume. He discusses Donald Trump’s approach to Cuba, the influence of Marco Rubio and Cuban-American politics, and how decades of sanctions have shaped Cuba’s economic crisis. Mikael also explores Obama-era diplomacy, the growing influence of China and Russia in the region, and whether peaceful political reform in Cuba is still possible without foreign intervention or regime change. Throughout the conversation, he challenges common narratives surrounding democracy, sovereignty, and America’s long relationship with the island. Mikael Wolfe is a historian, author, and lecturer at the Department of History at Stanford University whose research focuses on modern Latin America, Cuba, environmental history, and U.S.-Cuba relations. His work examines how politics, ideology, and resource conflicts have shaped Cuban society and its relationship with global powers.

| Political Scientist: The Dangerous Side of Believing in Conspiracy Theories | 07 May 2026 | 00:49:28 | |
Are conspiracy theories really increasing or are we just noticing them more? Conspiracy theories feel more visible than ever. From politics to public health, it seems like belief is rising fast. But the data says otherwise. According to Joseph Uscinski, belief has stayed mostly stable and sometimes even declined. In this episode, Joseph explains why events like COVID-19 didn’t create more believers. They made existing views more visible. When uncertainty rises, people pay closer attention to others’ beliefs, especially when those beliefs affect them. He also breaks down the psychology behind conspiracy thinking. These beliefs help people cope with loss or uncertainty. They protect identity. Most conspiracy theories fade quickly. Very few gain traction. The real risk comes when powerful people act on them. Joseph Uscinski is a political scientist who studies conspiracy theories and public opinion. His work explores why people believe them and how those beliefs shape society.

| Sophie Grégoire Trudeau: “Hate Comes From a Need for Connection That Never Happened” | 05 Mar 2026 | 00:43:10 | |
Perhaps it is not the world that’s collapsing but our capacity to cope. Today, Julian welcomes Sophie Grégoire Trudeau to discuss what it truly means to feel safe, seen, and authentic in a world that moves too fast and demands too much. She unpacks why so many of us feel disconnected not because we’re broken, but because our nervous systems are stuck in survival mode. From the impact of early childhood bonding to the erosion of trust in society, she explains how performance culture, social media, and polarization have pulled us away from our true selves. The conversation moves fluidly between personal vulnerability and big societal questions: community vs. isolation, authenticity vs. performance, fear vs. love. Sophie reflects on emotional maturity, the importance of regulating our inner world, and why healing cannot just be an individual journey, it must also be communal. She challenges the idea of a “perfect system,” instead advocating for environments that allow human beings to belong, contribute, and feel safe enough to be creative. Through moments of raw honesty, including discussions around trust, confidence, loneliness, and love, Julian and Sophie become less about politics and more about the human condition itself. Sophie Grégoire Trudeau is a mental health advocate, speaker, and author dedicated to human connection, emotional regulation, and authentic living. Through her work in public service and global advocacy, she explores how trust, community, and self-awareness shape both personal wellbeing and society at large. In Sophie’s book, Closer Together: Knowing Ourselves, Loving Each Other, she shares moments from her own journey: from her childhood, through her struggles with an eating disorder in her teens and early adulthood; from a career as a speaker and television host to de facto "first lady" and mother of three.

| Dr. William Li: The Doctor Who Discovered How to STARVE Cancer With Food! | 19 Feb 2026 | 01:30:31 | |
What if your body was never designed to fall apart but to defend, repair, and even outsmart disease? Dr. William Li joins Julian in a conversation to reframe how we think about cancer, aging, and longevity. Instead of focusing only on what goes wrong, he explores what goes right, how our bodies are constantly forming microscopic cancers, yet eliminating them daily through powerful built-in defense systems. From early-onset cancer and environmental toxins like microplastics to epigenetics and immune resilience, this episode challenges the fear-based narrative around disease and replaces it with informed optimism rooted in science. The discussion expands into the future of medicine where immunotherapy is activating the body’s own immune system to wipe out advanced cancers, and personalized cancer vaccines are being developed using AI to target individual mutations. Alongside cutting-edge breakthroughs, Dr. Li brings the conversation back to everyday agency: sleep, movement, stress reduction, gut health, and food as medicine. This is not about extremes, it’s about understanding your biology, strengthening your defenses, and recognizing that the future of health may be far more hopeful than we’ve been led to believe. Dr. William Li is a physician, scientist, and internationally recognized leader in the field of food as medicine. He is the President and Medical Director of the Angiogenesis Foundation and has led groundbreaking research in cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity, with a focus on harnessing the body’s natural defense systems.

| MIT Professor: The Most Dangerous AI Application on the Internet Just Went Viral… | 12 Feb 2026 | 00:54:36 | |
What happens when AI agents stop waiting for instructions and start acting on their own? Julian sits down with Ramesh Raskar and Maria Gorskikh for an urgent conversation about the rise of proactive AI and the emerging “agentic web”. This isn’t about chatbots answering questions anymore, it’s about autonomous agents that can send emails, execute tasks, coordinate schedules, and interact with other agents without constant prompting. As open-source tools like OpenClaw make it easier for developers to spin up agents, we may be witnessing a shift from centralized AI models to a world where anyone can run their own personal AI. But with that power comes serious risk, from malicious “skills” and prompt injections to identity spoofing, financial manipulation, and large-scale bot collusion. Without the right infrastructure, guardrails, and accountability, this new frontier could quickly become chaotic. And yet, the upside is enormous. They explore a future where billions of people, from farmers to students to entrepreneurs, have access to affordable, personalized AI agents working on their behalf. A new creator economy could emerge, where agents handle coordination and repetitive work, freeing humans to focus on creativity and problem-solving. The big question isn’t whether this future is coming, it already is. The real question is whether we build it as an open, secure, decentralized ecosystem or allow it to concentrate in the hands of a few. Ramesh Raskar is a renowned AI researcher, inventor, and professor at MIT, where he leads pioneering work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, decentralization, and global impact. He is the founder of Project Nanda, focused on building the foundational infrastructure for an open and secure agentic web. Maria Gorskikh is an AI engineer and entrepreneur working at the forefront of autonomous agents and open AI ecosystems. She is building tools that make AI agents accessible to everyone, helping drive the shift toward a decentralized, agent-powered internet. What You’ll Learn

| Harvard Geneticist: "Immortality May Have Already Happened!" | 05 Feb 2026 | 00:53:59 | |
What if living longer isn’t about chasing immortality but about quietly staying one step ahead of aging? Julian sits down with George Church for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges how we think about longevity, aging, and medical progress. Rather than promising overnight breakthroughs, they explore why extending human life is a complex, multi-layered challenge and why meaningful progress may already be happening so gradually that it’s easy to miss. From the concept of “longevity escape velocity” to the difficulty of measuring aging itself, the discussion reframes what it truly means to live longer and healthier. Together, Julian and George unpack how advances in gene therapy, multiplex genome editing, and AI-driven protein design are reshaping medicine. The focus moves away from sci-fi fantasies toward real-world applications: reversing age-related diseases, improving targeted drug delivery, shortening clinical trials, and reducing risk. They also explore the ethical, societal, and economic implications of longer lives and why revolutions in science often feel invisible right up until they become impossible to ignore. George Church is a pioneering geneticist and one of the founding figures of synthetic biology. A professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT, he is known for his groundbreaking work in genome sequencing, gene therapy, CRISPR technologies, and aging research. Over decades, his work has helped shape modern biotechnology, with a focus on reversing age-related diseases, improving human health, and responsibly advancing powerful scientific tools.

| Asking World Economic Forum Visitors if Greenland Should Become a US State | 23 Jan 2026 | 00:09:46 | |
Should the U.S. just take Greenland because it can? As the Arctic melts and critical minerals become the new oil, Greenland has gone from forgotten ice sheet to geopolitical prize. In this Davos street debate, world leaders, policy insiders, and global citizens clash over an unthinkable question: should Greenland become a U.S. state or would that cross the line into modern-day imperialism? Some argue it’s a strategic necessity in a world racing toward conflict with China and Russia. Others warn it would shatter NATO, alienate Europe, and revive the ugliest chapters of colonial history. What starts as a conversation about minerals and defense quickly spirals into something darker: who really gets to decide the fate of a nation? Is this about security or power? Cooperation or coercion? And if borders can change when resources are at stake, is any country truly safe? This street interview took place in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting, where global leaders, policymakers, executives, and media gather to discuss geopolitics, economics, and global risk. Featuring voices including Kerry Kennedy, @billboardchris, an Arctic defense and security expert, and many more. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Should Greenland Become a US State? 03:26 Will the U.S. Invade Greenland? 05:03 Europeans Speak About the Possible Invasion 07:47 The Geographical Factor 10:52 The Arctic is Heating Up

| MIT Professor on AI: "We Have 18 Months Before It's Game Over" | 15 Jan 2026 | 01:12:50 | |
What happens when artificial intelligence stops being something we use and starts becoming something that shapes who we are? Julian sits down with Ramesh Raskar for a hopeful, wide-ranging conversation about where AI is actually headed and where it should go. Instead of leaning into the usual doomsday fears, they talk about a different risk, a future where intelligence is centralized, creativity is squeezed out, and people slowly lose their sense of purpose. They discuss what an “agentic” future could look like, one where everyone has their own AI agent working on their behalf, not owned by a company but shaped by personal values, goals, and lived experience. They talk about how this could transform healthcare, education, and work, not by replacing humans, but by amplifying what makes human contribution meaningful. There’s a strong emphasis on dignity, pride in craft, and why losing those things could be more damaging than job loss itself. Ramesh Raskar is an MIT professor, researcher, and inventor whose work spans artificial intelligence, imaging, robotics, and decentralized systems. He has led research teams at Google, Facebook, and Apple, and focuses on building human-centered AI technologies designed to support shared prosperity. What You’ll Learn: Why centralized AI risks reducing human agency and purpose How decentralized AI agents could reshape work, education, and healthcare The difference between efficiency-driven AI and human-centered intelligence Why loss of meaning may be a bigger threat than job displacement How shared prosperity depends on ownership, not just access What an “agentic society” could look like in practice Why AI literacy is essential for the decade ahead How adaptability and learning-to-learn shape human flourishing ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:51 How Can AI Benefit Society? 02:40 The Real Risk of AI Isn’t Doomsday 05:45 From Using AI to Owning AI 10:16 Why Centralized AI Fails 12:25 The Rise of Personal AI 15:10 When Work Loses Meaning 17:38 Why Purpose Still Matters 20:13 A World Where Everyone Has an AI Agent 25:42 Inside an Agentic Society 33:11 How Power and Bias Scale 36:41 Why Decentralization Works 39:07 Lessons From the Internet 44:07 What the World Could Look Like in 2030 47:20 How AI Could Change Healthcare 48:45 Collective Intelligence at Scale 53:55 Who Wins When Data Is Decentralized 56:45 How AI Doomsday Actually Happens 01:01:44 Why Phase One Was Necessary 01:04:20 Why AI Literacy Matters 01:07:20 Learning How to Learn 01:08:22 What Kids Should Learn Today 01:10:05 A Simple Rule for the Future Want to Follow Ramesh's Mission?

| Why Europe Could Become the Next Collapsed Empire - Razib Khan | 12 Jan 2026 | 01:37:17 | |
What happens when economic decline, cultural identity, and technological acceleration all collide at once? Julian sits down with Razib Khan to explore the forces reshaping the US, Europe, and the wider West. They unpack why tariffs, zero-sum thinking, and reactionary politics may be symptoms of deeper structural decline, while also examining why optimism, migration patterns, and cultural norms have historically fueled American dynamism. From Brexit and European stagnation to the rise of populism and questions around national identity, the discussion challenges easy narratives from all sides. The conversation goes further, tackling some of today’s most sensitive and consequential questions: immigration and integration, multiculturalism, religion in pluralistic societies, and whether shared values still exist in the modern West. They also explore the role of personality, genetics, and culture in shaping ambition and innovation, before turning to the future—AI, automation, democracy, and what human flourishing could realistically look like in a rapidly changing world. Thought-provoking, nuanced, and deliberately uncomfortable at times, this episode invites listeners to think beyond headlines and engage with the deeper patterns shaping our collective future.

| AI CAN’T SOLVE AGING… Unless You Do THIS First - Carina Kern | 05 Jan 2026 | 00:57:00 | |
What if aging is not an inevitable decline but a solvable systems problem hiding in plain sight? Julian sits down with Carina Kern, a scientist working at the intersection of longevity research and medicine, for a wide ranging conversation on how aging actually works inside the body. Together, they explore why traditional medicine has struggled to address age-related decline and why treating one disease or one organ at a time may be missing the bigger picture. Carina introduces a systems level way of thinking about aging, explaining how cellular damage spreads across the body and why identifying key biological nodes could change how we prevent degeneration altogether. Julian and Carina also dive into Carina’s research on necrosis, a form of uncontrolled cell death that may sit at the core of aging and many chronic diseases. Carina explains how her team is developing a first in class anti necrotic therapy, how artificial intelligence is being used to uncover system wide interventions, and why the kidney has become a powerful model for studying accelerated aging. The conversation expands beyond Earth as well, touching on what space travel reveals about rapid aging and why protecting human biology may be essential for the future of human exploration.
