Special Episode: Engineering the Apocalypse

In this nearly 4-hour SPECIAL EPISODE, Rob Reid
delivers a 100-minute monologue (broken up into 4 segments, and
interleaved with discussions with Sam) about the looming
danger of a man-made pandemic, caused by an
artificially-modified pathogen. The risk of this occurring is far
higher and nearer-term than almost anyone realizes. 


Rob explains the science and motivations that could produce such
a catastrophe and explores the steps that society must
start taking today to prevent it. These measures are
concrete, affordable, and scientifically fascinating—and almost
all of them are applicable to future, natural pandemics
as well. So if we take most of them, the odds of a
future Covid-like outbreak would plummet—a priceless collateral
benefit.
