The Human Element with Joe Massey
The Human Element is an investigation into the patterns of our past and the potential of our future. We bridge the gap between the four fundamental pillars to understand the core of who we are:
• HISTORY: The context for understanding today.
• SCIENCE: The blueprint of our identity.
• EXPERIENCE: The frontier of human capability.
• PHILOSOPHY: The connective tissue between the other pillars and humanity.
From the ruins of Ancient Egypt to the cutting edge of CRISPR and the minds of elite performers—we interview world-class experts to uncover the "Golden Threads" that connect us all.
