DARPA's Project Echo: Epigenetics and Mass Surveillance w/ Spencer Bland


Listen Later

Is that some trauma in your pants? Epigenetics and the new security surveillance world. We sit down with comic, friend and studio mate Spencer Bland to discuss DARPA's Project Echo. DARPA is building a portable device that analyzes an individual’s epigenetic “fingerprint” to potentially reveal a detailed history of that individual’s exposure to WMD or their precursors. In other words, they can scan peoples DNA and figure out if they are a terrorist. Sounds good right? But if they can do that with this technology, its not far fetched to think a bad actor could utilize this tech to divide us by past trauma, class, race and penis size. This episode was so much fun.
