What happens when human biology evolves slower than the world it’s forced to survive in?In this episode of Decoded, Bizzie Gold sits down with James Schmachtenberger, founder and CEO of Qualia Life Sciences, to examine the real limits of modern medicine, the failure of reductionist science, and what human beings are actually capable of when the right biological and environmental conditions are met. James breaks down why most chronic and complex conditions are unsolvable within today’s medical frameworks—and why a complex systems approach is the only model that actually matches human biology.The conversation moves beyond supplements into deeper territory: adaptive capacity, metacognition, empathy, and how incentives—not technology—are the real bottleneck in human progress. James also shares his controversial stance on AI, attention capture, and why outsourcing cognition may cost us agency faster than we realize.This is not a basic (& played out) conversation about optimization hacks. This episode highlights where we need to take responsibility, reimagine system design, and the expand our vision for the future of human capability.Resource LinksFor Qualia Products: http://qualialife.com/bizziegoldMy favorite products right now are the Stem Cell and Senolytic.
