David Ewing Duncan went through a period of what he calls brain fog during Covid, where he lost his ability to write. We tackle both science and technology.

He shares his story and how Ketamine shifted things for him dramatically and helped him to overcome that brain fog and write fluidly once again. We also chat about Robots and the role that they will play in the future - the benefits and what could possibly go wrong. 

David is an award-winning journalist in print, television, and radio; the best-selling author of ten books published in 21 languages; and an entrepreneur. His most recent book is Talking to Robots: Tales from our Human-Robot Futures. David wrote a series on COVID-19 for Vanity Fair, which has been seen by millions of readers. David is CEO of Arc Fusion, and a frequent contributor to Vanity Fair, Wired, MIT Technology Review, The New York Times, Atlantic, and others. 

He is a former commentator for NPR's Morning Edition, and a special correspondent and producer for ABC’s Nightline. He is the founding director, Center of Life Science Policy at UC Berkeley. His books include When I'm 164: The New Science of Radical Life Extension, and What Happens If It Succeeds (Ted books), Experimental Man: What One Man's Body Reveals about His Future, Your Health, and Our Toxic World, and global bestseller Calendar: Humanity’s epic struggle to determine a true and accurate year.
