Ep. 48 - UBI and Upgrading America with Zoltan Istvan

In this installment of the Future Grind podcast host Ryan O’Shea is joined by Zoltan Istvan, who is running against Donald Trump in the 2020 Republican Primary for President of the United States.  Zoltan's previous appearance on this podcast was in 2016, when he was running for the presidency as a third party candidate with the Transhumanist Party. That episode discusses Zoltan’s background, while this one is purely focused on 2020 and his current campaign. Beyond his runs for office, Zoltan is a transhumanist speaker and author, and has written articles for the New York Times, Newsweek, Vice, Wired, TechCrunch, and more. You may have also caught him on the Joe Rogan Experience and The Rubin Report with Dave Rubin. They discuss universal basic income, party politics, China, and much more. And we have a special announcement - we plan to send an episode of the Future Grind podcast to the Moon on board Astrobotic’s first lunar mission, and we wanted to provide you an opportunity to fly alongside us by sending your own digital files and photos to Moon!
