• Asking World Economic Forum Visitors if Greenland Should Become a US State
    Jan 23 2026

    Should the U.S. just take Greenland because it can?


    As the Arctic melts and critical minerals become the new oil, Greenland has gone from forgotten ice sheet to geopolitical prize. In this Davos street debate, world leaders, policy insiders, and global citizens clash over an unthinkable question: should Greenland become a U.S. state or would that cross the line into modern-day imperialism? Some argue it’s a strategic necessity in a world racing toward conflict with China and Russia. Others warn it would shatter NATO, alienate Europe, and revive the ugliest chapters of colonial history.


    What starts as a conversation about minerals and defense quickly spirals into something darker: who really gets to decide the fate of a nation? Is this about security or power? Cooperation or coercion? And if borders can change when resources are at stake, is any country truly safe?


    This street interview took place in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting, where global leaders, policymakers, executives, and media gather to discuss geopolitics, economics, and global risk. Featuring voices including Kerry Kennedy, @billboardchris, an Arctic defense and security expert, and many more.

  • MIT Professor on AI: "We Have 18 Months Before It's Game Over"
    Jan 15 2026

    What happens when artificial intelligence stops being something we use and starts becoming something that shapes who we are?


    Julian sits down with Ramesh Raskar for a hopeful, wide-ranging conversation about where AI is actually headed and where it should go. Instead of leaning into the usual doomsday fears, they talk about a different risk, a future where intelligence is centralized, creativity is squeezed out, and people slowly lose their sense of purpose.


    They discuss what an “agentic” future could look like, one where everyone has their own AI agent working on their behalf, not owned by a company but shaped by personal values, goals, and lived experience. They talk about how this could transform healthcare, education, and work, not by replacing humans, but by amplifying what makes human contribution meaningful. There’s a strong emphasis on dignity, pride in craft, and why losing those things could be more damaging than job loss itself.


    Ramesh Raskar is an MIT professor, researcher, and inventor whose work spans artificial intelligence, imaging, robotics, and decentralized systems. He has led research teams at Google, Facebook, and Apple, and focuses on building human-centered AI technologies designed to support shared prosperity.


    What You’ll Learn:

    Why centralized AI risks reducing human agency and purpose

    How decentralized AI agents could reshape work, education, and healthcare

    The difference between efficiency-driven AI and human-centered intelligence

    Why loss of meaning may be a bigger threat than job displacement

    How shared prosperity depends on ownership, not just access

    What an “agentic society” could look like in practice

    Why AI literacy is essential for the decade ahead

    How adaptability and learning-to-learn shape human flourishing

  • Why Europe Could Become the Next Collapsed Empire - Razib Khan
    Jan 12 2026
    What happens when economic decline, cultural identity, and technological acceleration all collide at once?Julian sits down with Razib Khan to explore the forces reshaping the US, Europe, and the wider West. They unpack why tariffs, zero-sum thinking, and reactionary politics may be symptoms of deeper structural decline, while also examining why optimism, migration patterns, and cultural norms have historically fueled American dynamism. From Brexit and European stagnation to the rise of populism and questions around national identity, the discussion challenges easy narratives from all sides.The conversation goes further, tackling some of today’s most sensitive and consequential questions: immigration and integration, multiculturalism, religion in pluralistic societies, and whether shared values still exist in the modern West. They also explore the role of personality, genetics, and culture in shaping ambition and innovation, before turning to the future—AI, automation, democracy, and what human flourishing could realistically look like in a rapidly changing world. Thought-provoking, nuanced, and deliberately uncomfortable at times, this episode invites listeners to think beyond headlines and engage with the deeper patterns shaping our collective future.What You'll Learn:How economic, cultural, and demographic forces are shaping the decline of EuropeWhy American optimism and mobility continue to drive innovation and growthHow identity, culture, and national values influence political movementsThe real impact of immigration on economies, integration, and social cohesionWhy personality, genetics, and openness play a role in ambition and successHow multiculturalism works and where it breaks down in practiceWhat human flourishing looks like in an unequal and rapidly changing worldWhether democracy can survive technological disruption and AI⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro03:38 Is the Fifth European Empire Collapsing?05:40 What “Make America Great Again” Really Looks Back To06:56 Does the US Have an Identity Crisis?08:30 Why Optimism Still Separates America From Europe13:38 Culture, Ambition, and the British Mindset20:23 Do Personality and Genetics Shape Success?23:21 Understanding Europe’s Structural Decline26:49 Why Language and Mobility Matter for Economic Growth30:33 Why the World’s Top Talent Still Chooses America32:20 Immigration, Culture, and the Math Behind Integration34:10 Can Multicultural Societies Truly Coexist?42:25 What the West Gets Wrong About Cultural Identity47:13 The Welfare State and Its Long-Term Consequences49:01 Is Immigration a Net Loss or Net Gain?52:48 Human Flourishing in a Divided World55:48 Religion, Secularism, and Shared Values01:02:32 Separation of Church and State Explained01:06:31 Gender Equality as a Non-Negotiable Value01:08:26 The World We’re Headed Toward by 203001:10:31 Brexit: A Necessary Risk or Historic Mistake?01:11:40 What Does Human Flourishing Actually Mean?01:14:06 Do We Need Struggle to Thrive?01:15:41 Competition, Conflict, and Progress01:19:58 When Victimhood Replaces Responsibility01:23:41 Bias, Fairness, and Modern Power Structures01:25:19 Is Democracy Dead in the Age of AI?01:31:58 Technology, Social Media, and Human Nature01:33:39 Final Reflections on the Future of the WestConnect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Follow Razib:Website: https://www.razibkhan.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@razibkhansunsupervisedlearning X: https://x.com/razibkhan Substack: https://substack.com/@razib Razib Khan's Unsupervised Learning Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/razib-khans-unsupervised-learning/id1542136715

  • AI CAN’T SOLVE AGING… Unless You Do THIS First - Carina Kern
    Jan 5 2026
    What if aging is not an inevitable decline but a solvable systems problem hiding in plain sight?Julian sits down with Carina Kern, a scientist working at the intersection of longevity research and medicine, for a wide ranging conversation on how aging actually works inside the body. Together, they explore why traditional medicine has struggled to address age-related decline and why treating one disease or one organ at a time may be missing the bigger picture. Carina introduces a systems level way of thinking about aging, explaining how cellular damage spreads across the body and why identifying key biological nodes could change how we prevent degeneration altogether. Julian and Carina also dive into Carina’s research on necrosis, a form of uncontrolled cell death that may sit at the core of aging and many chronic diseases. Carina explains how her team is developing a first in class anti necrotic therapy, how artificial intelligence is being used to uncover system wide interventions, and why the kidney has become a powerful model for studying accelerated aging. The conversation expands beyond Earth as well, touching on what space travel reveals about rapid aging and why protecting human biology may be essential for the future of human exploration.

  • NEUROSCIENTIST WARNS: We’re Changing Humans, and NOBODY Notices!
    Dec 23 2025

    What does it really mean to be human in a world that’s increasingly lived through screens?


    Julian sits down with neuroscientist and author, Baroness Susan Greenfield for a wide-ranging conversation about the brain, technology, and the future we’re quietly creating. From the way social media shapes attention, identity, and mental health to how our brains adapt to the environments we spend the most time in, Susan breaks down why today’s digital world may be changing us more deeply than we realize.


    Rather than framing technology as simply good or bad, the conversation explores what we might be losing along the way. They talk about why boredom and daydreaming matter, how screens can crowd out creativity, and why being “busy” or “efficient” doesn’t necessarily make us happier or more fulfilled.


    Julian and Susan look ahead to AI, consciousness, and what the next decade could bring. Susan shares her perspective on whether machines can ever truly be conscious, how our sense of truth is being challenged, and why the real risk isn’t technology itself, but how we choose to use it.

  • AI Experts Debate: The Scariest AI Prediction You Haven’t Heard Yet…
    Dec 18 2025
    Are we using artificial intelligence as a tool or allowing it to reshape how we think, work, and relate to ourselves without fully realizing it?AI educator and company founder Joshua Wöhle, alongside AI writer and former big-tech product designer Georgia Lewis Anderson, bring a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on how today’s AI systems are actually being built, adopted, and misunderstood. Drawing from their work training executives, designing human-machine interactions, and guiding organizations through rapid AI adoption, they reveal why most people aren’t falling behind because of technical skill but because of mindset. Through real-world examples, they explain how large language models, agentic systems, and personalization are quietly redefining productivity, decision-making, and creative work.Together, they explore the deeper implications of this shift from widening knowledge gaps and cultural resistance to the ethical risks of manipulation, dependency, and loss of purpose. Their conversation moves beyond hype and fear to ask more human questions: what skills truly matter in an AI-driven world, how intellectual humility becomes a competitive advantage, and why presence, intuition, and connection may be the very qualities that technology cannot replace.If you want to join the free Beyond Tomorrow Community, check the link: skool.com/beyond-tomorrow for more!

  • The #1 Pattern Keeping You Stuck in Survival Mode (And How to Break It)
    Dec 11 2025

    Are you living life or living in a constant state of survival without realizing it?


    HRV expert and nervous system educator Salim Najjar helps unravel what’s happening beneath the surface. He opens up about how early childhood loss, Lebanese cultural conditioning, and years of nonstop striving wired him to live in a constant state of alertness. Through his story, he explains how the body holds onto unprocessed emotions, how ancestral trauma can shape our sense of safety, and why heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the most revealing signals of our internal world.


    Salim also breaks down the science behind chronic stress and why it quietly fuels inflammation, burnout, and emotional reactivity. More importantly, he shares practical tools, from somatic awareness practices to reframing and intentionality, that helped him rebuild his own nervous system and step into what he calls “nervous system sovereignty.”

  • Should We Hand-Pick Our Children’s Genes? - Jonathan Anomaly
    Dec 4 2025

    What happens when the future of humanity is no longer something we wait for but something we can choose?


    When science gives us that kind of power, the real question becomes how wisely we’re prepared to use it. Today, Jonathan joins Julian to break down the fast-evolving world of embryo selection and what it could mean for the future of human evolution. Jonathan explains how IVF has grown from a niche medical procedure into a window into chromosomal health, genetic risk, and now polygenic traits that influence everything from disease risk to intelligence. They also revisit the history of eugenics, unpack the huge difference between past state-controlled abuses and today’s individual, non-coercive choices, and show why modern genomic tools aren’t about “playing God” but about making more informed, thoughtful decisions rooted in science.


    What traits should families even care about? How do we keep individuality alive when selection becomes easier? And what happens when science, politics, and markets start overlapping in ways society isn’t quite prepared for? Julian and Jonathan dig into the complexity behind intelligence, personality, mental health, and moral behavior, while also touching on industry controversies, regulation challenges, and the importance of transparency in genetic prediction.


    Jonathan Anomaly is a philosopher and researcher focused on the ethics of genetics, human enhancement, and emerging biotechnologies. He works at the intersection of science and philosophy, helping shape how genomic prediction and reproductive technologies are understood and responsibly used.
