I Joined the Discussion for the Futurology Podcast

The Futurology Podcast #13

I joined fellow /r/Futurology mods Alex and Jason to talk about the top 5 reddit posts and describe the Future Day event we held for the Seattle Futurist meetup. For those of you following nuclear fusion, I tried to recap the work of Derek Sutherland.

As far as the top links go, here they are in order. We took out a story about UBI (universal basic income) due to the fact that we’d like to have a full debate at a later date. We need one volunteer to represent the pros of UBI and one who is against it. On the next podcast we’ll hopefully get some solid points from each side.

Top 5 Futurology Posts (excluding weekly science image)

  1.  [1823] – This Woman Invented a Way to Run 30 Lab Tests on Only One Drop of Bloodaeo1003
  2.  [1448] – Mind-controlled robotic suit exoskeleton will allow a paralyzed teen to kick off the first ball in this year’s FIFA World Cup in Brazil_trendspotter
  3.  [1269] – Michio Kaku blew everyone’s minds on the Daily Show last nightcreativeembassy
  4.  [1142] – Power-Generating Nanoribbons Implanted on the Heartbob_toe_nail
