--QUOTES FROM THIS VIDEO:

"Even the day of the election, the exit polls suggest to Trump was going to lose. "

"I think we believe that Trump was much more likely to get elected than the general population did. And this has to do with the theory of preference falsification, that people will broadly lie about what their true preferences are. "

Former National Security analyst turned author Jamie Metzel has written a book called Hacking Darwin. The book attempts to use storytelling to explore where we are as the new era of rewriting our cells and ourselves gets into full swing. Here he sits down with Eric to explore the negatives and positives of our seemingly ineluctable future of God-like power to rewrite biology. Together they discuss the role of story telling and fiction in understanding cutting edge science, the limits of bio-hacking regulation and the rise of mainland China as the outlying superpower of state sponsored experimentation.

"There's not only a huge wage gap. I think that there's also like a huge, maybe attention gap where on the video films, a lot of times I think they even cut the guy's head out of the frame, you know, so I think a lot of times the male is almost more objectified than the female."

--QUOTES FROM THIS VIDEO:

"American men, men in the developed world don't have any bonds that are comparable to the bonds that you're talking about. In other words, their closest friend is untested in any real way."

"Once I learned how to fight, I didn't fight anymore. Because I didn't have anything to prove anymore."

--QUOTES FROM THIS VIDEO:

"These people had flipped the script and said, "If you don't sign up for our racism, you're a racist.""

"My point is, the accusation is in and of itself so powerful in modern circumstances that the idea of standing up to it doesn't occur to most people."
