In this episode, we’ll explore biodigital convergence and human evolution. Historically, we viewed ourselves as families, tribes, nations, and civilizations. None of that has changed on an instinctual level—not yet, anyway—but now there is a layer of digital culture laid on top of it all.
This digital layer is absorbing our biological forms. Our devices monitor us, manipulate us, and ultimately move us toward some sort of metamorphosis. To what extent our legacy forms will survive this great transformation is yet to be seen.
Perhaps humans will be left behind like a chrysalis when the artificial butterfly flies away. Or maybe our souls will be painted on its wings.
Or maybe we’ll stand back and watch a deformed biomechanical moth—a horrible mutant created by mad scientists—fly off into the sun and be burned to cinders.
One can always dream. I know I do.

The fangirl in me says you have a great voice for this! Sorry it took me so long to get to it. It's been a rough week, on my ancient body, but anyway...
First, I love my trees!
"Nobody ever accused me of racing to get ahead of the curve." I can relate.
You make it easy to understand, and when I was younger my sponge like brain would have absorbed every word, filed it, and stored it, but now my ancient post traumatic stress brain is like a sieve. I do want to hear about the portals though!
Great job, Joe. ♡
Your intros and outros are always spot on, as are your “commercials”. High five.
