I speak with Jonathan about the brave new world of fertility technology, with its dizzying ambitions, miraculous promises, and sizeable hubris. 
We cover embryo selection, gene editing, "designer babies", the demographic crisis and where it could lead, populations that have a chance to continue, and what they look like, bioethics and the people behind it, and much more. 
Jonathan Anomaly is the academic director of a new philosophy, politics, and economics (PPE) program at La Universidad de las Americas in Ecuador and has taught in various programs around the US, including at the University of Pennsylvania, Duke, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Arizona.
He is also the author of the book “Creating Future People: The Ethics of Genetic Enhancement"

Jonathan Anomaly - The Fruitful Shall Inherit the Earth

Subversive is a podcast by Alex Kaschuta about ideas that may not fit neatly into the Overton window and could use a nudge, or a sledgehammer. Alex chats to thinkers across the spectrum from iconoclast philosophers, rogue scientists, *real* journalists, and our true intellectual elite, Twitter anons.

My conversation with Richard covers the origins and implications of civil rights law and its impact decades down the line. We also discuss the influence of wokeness, the role of social media, and the importance of wealth and economic development. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the disempowering discourse in the right-wing space and the need for a more balanced and optimistic perspective. We also discuss the concept of Red Caesar, the influence of technology on society, the decline in birth rates, and the role of the state in legislating morality.

We also touch on the challenges of parenting in the digital age and the potential future of liberal democracy.

We speak about:

Positive gamification - giving away rice, planting trees, saving power.

Dark gamification - most everything else.

Releasing the pressure of expectations on young men.

The technological revolution and its consequences.

The culture war as a world-spanning game.

Ideology as character creation in an RPG.

Back to the city after “back to the land”

Trad as an attempt to capture something that never was, and much more.
