What happens when a geneticist steps into the center of Austin’s techno-cultural renaissance and starts asking the questions everyone else is too afraid to touch? In this new episode of SKMP, Razib Khan joins us for a wild, deeply intelligent conversation spanning CRISPR, evolution, AI, gene editing, open-source technology, SpaceX billionaires, Austin’s transformation into a new frontier city, and the future of humanity itself. From whether evolution can be “proven” through DNA, to the ethics of designer babies, Neuralink vs biological enhancement, and why future generations may normalize genetic engineering the same way we normalized IVF this episode feels less like a podcast and more like a glimpse into the next 30 years.
