Special Episode: Engineering the Apocalypse

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this nearly</span> <strong>4-hour SPECIAL EPISODE</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, Rob Reid delivers a 100-minute monologue (broken up into 4 segments, and interleaved with discussions with Sam) about the looming</span> <strong>danger of a man-made pandemic</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, caused by an artificially-modified pathogen. The risk of this occurring is far higher and nearer-term than almost anyone realizes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rob explains the science and motivations that could produce such a catastrophe and explores the steps that society</span> <strong>must start taking today to prevent it</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">. These measures are concrete, affordable, and scientifically fascinating—and almost all of them are applicable to future,</span> <strong>natural pandemics as well</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">. So if we take most of them, the odds of a future Covid-like outbreak would plummet—a priceless collateral benefit. </span></p> <p>SUBSCRIBE to gain access to all full-length episodes at <a href= "http://samharris.org/subscribe">samharris.org/subscribe</a>.</p>
