Evolution 2.0

Lynn Margulis’ last interview with Conner Habib

Lynn Margulis, who died in 2012, was a piercing luminary in the history of evolutionary theory. She overturned the money changer's tables in the temple of science and infuriated a lot of people. But history has continued to vindicate her. In this interview, she and Conner explore a very different way of thinking about life itself and you’ll hear her brilliant mind and feisty posture.

  • What does it mean to truly flourish?

    46:19|
    Andrew Briggs started to write the book Human Flourishing just before COVID and then the world went mad. Since then, the world has gotten even madder and many people are clutching their smartphones, wringing their hands, managing their anxiety, or merely existing. What does it mean to flourish and what do people, relationships, and professions look like and feel like when they flourish? In this book, authors Andrew Briggs and Michael J. Reiss and painter Roger Wagner weave together a beautiful picture of the material and immaterial, the concrete and the spiritual. Included here is a reproduction of Roger Wagner's painting It Keeps Me Seeking. The original painting hangs in The Auckland Project Faith Museum: https://aucklandproject.org/attraction/faith-museum/

  • New Theory & Practice for Cancer – Azra Raza and Michael Levin

    59:03|
    Two of my favorite scientists, Michael Levin and Azra Raza with Aastha Jain Simes, put their heads together in this provocative and touching interview. Azra describes the technology of our new company PredictRX that detects cancer at Stage Negative One.We do this with a “Stentinel,” (starts at 15 minutes in) a stent with electronic sensors that is implanted in the arm and sense Polyploid Giant Cancer Cells (PGCCs) within 18 days of appearing in a patient.Azra begins with an unusual definition of cancer and offers a detailed theory of Hybrid Cells based on her 35 years treating patients. This is a heart-gripping conversation. “If you find a single giant cell in a patient who’s in remission, a 2nd cancer is inevitable.”
  • Donna Meyers is STILL beating cancer after 35 years

    01:05:20|
    She's 86, yet she looks like she's in her 60s. After 35 years of Myelodysplastic Syndrome, she is still beating the odds every day. In our conversation, she explains her radical outlook and her success under the watchful eye of oncologist Dr. Azra Raza at Columbia University in New York City.

  • Irreducible Mind: Why the Current Paradigm is passed its expiration date with Edward Kelly

    01:05:26|
    Edward Kelly is a neuroscientist whose research overturns the current popular definition of the mind. We had a fantastic conversation about his non-traditional path in scientific research. He is a scientist at the University of Virginia. 
  • Courage Fueled by Curiosity = Love

    01:00:45|
    Why are important conversations so difficult, and why is curiosity the greatest virtue? Dov Baron from British Columbia describes the emotional source code rules that govern our discussions about politics, religion, evolution, cancer, and relationships.Dov Baron has a unique ability to stab at the roots of a problem and recognize its signature pattern. It’s amazing to watch him problem-solve in real-time, and he’s famous for navigating difficult conversations.His website is dovbaron.com.
  • Detecting Cancer at Stage Negative One - Perry Marshall at SBMT

    18:52|
    Perry Marshall spoke at the Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics 21st annual conference in Los Angeles, 16 March 2024. He describes how outdated textbook evolution is inhibiting research and keeping us stuck in the old, gene-centric paradigm, and how the Polyploid Giant Cancer Cell model, advocated at a recent conference at MD Anderson in Houston, is a far more elegant model for detecting and treating cancer at the very earliest stages.
