Do you ever wonder what the intersection of biotech and geopolitics looks like? This episode ventures into the realm of genetic testing and the geopolitical implications of a lab gifted by China to Serbia. FireEye, a state-of-the-art lab, stands at the precipice of pushing the boundaries of what we know about viruses and human genomes. As this technology extends its reach across four continents, the consequences could be monumental, ranging from bio weapons, mass surveillance, to harvesting global genetic data. Strap yourselves in for this fascinating discussion on the possible repercussions of this development.
As we navigate the profound complexities of biotechnology, we shed light on the ethical dilemmas arising from the analysis of genetic data. The rapid progress in biotechnology, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has flung open a Pandora's box of potential misuses and global geopolitical impact. We also venture into the realm of a potential hierarchical society where the affluent gain ascendance through genetic modifications.
Switching lanes, we steer towards the world of electric vehicles, specifically into the impact of supercharging on EV batteries. We'll tread into the territory of battery degradation, advancements in technology to maximize battery life, and the different types of EV chargers. With the looming presence of giant oil companies like ExxonMobil and their potential push for alternative fuels, we dissect the trials and triumphs waiting in the future of EVs. So tune in, as we discourse on the electrifying journey of the future of mobility.
Let's get into it!
