Topic: Technology Seeding

Host Greg Carlwood introduces Jeffrey Smith, a leading critic of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the author of Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette. Smith is the founding executive director of the Institute for Responsible Technology and has spent over 25 years documenting the health risks associated with GMOs and glyphosate.

Tabby's Star and the possibility of a Dyson sphere are discussed as evidence of advanced interstellar civilizations. Knowles and Carlwood engage in a thought experiment regarding an alien race "piggybacking" on human technology to facilitate their arrival. They suggest that technology may have been seeded 70 years ago to prepare Earth's biosphere for extraterrestrial colonization.
