Welcome back to Season 6!
We have new mics for this season, so please forgive some teething issues with the sound quality in this episode.
In this edition, Ben and I look into how robots might physically adapt to their surrounding environments. Could we control the world around us with a thought? Why might we need universal basic income? What would omni-use reconfigurable furniture look like? What about producing semiconductors without the extreme engineering they now require?
Enjoy!
