Genetics and Transhumanism with Razib Khan


Listen Later

Razib Khan is a population geneticist, entrepreneur, and writer. He’s the co-founder of the company GenRAIT, which offers genomics data solutions. As a writer, he focuses on the interplay of genes, history, and culture.

In this episode, I ask Razib about how his work as a geneticist relates to transhumanist and futurist topics. For example, we discuss moral issues with genome sequences and fetuses, how the wealthy might use genetics, whether the biohacking movement is a good idea, the threat of bioweapons, how a rogue state like North Korea might create an army of superhumans, and related topics.
