Welcome to the show.

I'm Jordan Harbinger.

As always, I'm here with producer Jason DeFilippo.

most brilliant and interesting people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that

you can use to impact your own life and those around you.

If we brought a baby from a thousand years ago in a time machine to today, it would

If we brought a baby from a thousand years in the future, or even a hundred years in

the future, back to now, it would have outlier traits and genetic disease resistance

that we've never even seen.

This is because gene editing technology is about to change our lives and the world in

the next few decades.

The upside of being able to alter physical and mental traits, such as appearance and IQ,

is just too good to pass up.

But who gets to make these important decisions that will affect the entire human gene pool?

Is it the government? Is it corporations? Is it the Chinese Communist Party?

These all seem like bad options that could lead to bad outcomes.

What will AI and big data do to speed up this process?

And what are the limits of human capability?

We're about to find out in what many experts believe might be the next arms race, using

stem cells instead of nukes.
