Just wrapped a mind-bending podcast with John and David Fox.
A single teaspoon of bacteria is more sophisticated than an entire building of Google engineers. Not even close. We’re talking 100,000x more complex than anything Silicon Valley has ever produced. This ties directly into what my team discovered about cancer. Everyone thinks it’s just “bad genes.” Wrong. It’s actually your body’s own evolutionary toolkit turning against you.
Being willing to challenge authority… how to find “the bottom of the swamp”… the hard (and rewarding) experiences of being an adoptive father, and of course the science research my team is doing right now.
Highlights:
-Biology is about a 100,000 times more complicated than electrical engineering. A teaspoon of bacteria is more sophisticated than a building full of Google Engineers (1:18:31).
-Cancer is not just a “disease of the genes.” It’s when the evolutionary toolkit that all cells possess turns against us. Cancer is evolution run amok (17:42).
-We also covered personal aspects like our terrifying decision of adopting a child and integrating that experience into my broader worldview (01:23:03).
-My journey into cancer research started with an itch to find the Bottom of the Swamp in biology (00:44:12). My brother in China challenged my beliefs, leading me to actually study evolutionary biology. I decided to put these ideas on an anvil and inviting the world to pound on them (49:52).
-The Evolution 2.0 journey is not just about biology; it’s about discovering your own “God-given formula” (02:19:10) and leaning into it. Novel approaches often come from outsiders who dare to dismantle broken systems and build better ones from scratch. That’s exactly what we aim to do in cancer research. We look at how life solves problems and apply those principles to tackle what seems insurmountable.
John and David Fox delivered a stellar conversation for their Hard Knocks podcast. Whether you’re interested in evolutionary biology, cancer research, or just seeking inspiration to challenge the norm and find your true path. David and John are some of the best interviewers I’ve ever met, and I urge you to devour the whole thing.
