In this discussion with Know Thyself host Andre Duqum, Gregg Braden emphasizes the rapid advancement of technology and its potential to outpace our moral and ethical understanding, particularly regarding human biology and artificial intelligence. He warns that while we have the unprecedented ability to alter our biology, this technological evolution could lead to a relinquishing of our essential human qualities, such as empathy and creativity, in favor of synthetic alternatives.

Braden argues that this shift represents an artificial evolution rather than a natural progression, risking the loss of what makes us fundamentally human. He advocates for a deeper appreciation of our innate capabilities and cautions against hastily adopting technologies that could fundamentally change our existence without fully understanding the implications.
