I wrote a dystopian science fiction novel last year, and early in the book, I included this footnote...

> Perhaps you’re thinking, Dear Reader, that the “world-building” in these pages is a little weak for a science fiction novel. That’s because I’m portraying the near future, and the near future won’t have flying cars and space empires.
> Due to declining IQ across civilization, we no longer get macro-innovations like air travel and space flight. We get micro-innovations (better smartphones, faster internet, better AI, etc) that entrench technology deeper in our lives. Until we break out of the statist paradigm (organizing society as a cult around the cathedral of corruption - the government) or the widespread implementation of human gene editing (producing an abundance of +150 IQ babies), all we’ll have is micro-innovation in technology. Which is portrayed in this novel.

Civilization is starving for macro-innovation. And my guest, [**Dr. Andrew Colarik**](https://andrewcolarik.com/)--a traveling scholar, nomad, and entrepreneurial academic--has a solution in the form of his Problem-to-Publication Method (P2P Method).

## **Mention** in the interview

The decline of intelligence across civilization, along with micro-innovation vs macro-innovation, as documented in [*At Our Wits' End: Why We're Becoming Less Intelligent and What It Means for the Future*](https://amzn.to/4vViILY)

**Gene-editing unborn babies** - I did an [interesting debate](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=587:the-revolutionary-phenotype&catid=61:book&Itemid=240#TPS) once on this topic

[***Caballo***](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/Caballo) - The Smart Drug I created

**Tea**: Black tea, Green tea, [Horny Goat Weed](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1012:horny-goat-weed&catid=65:nootropic-ingredients&Itemid=244) tea

**My dystopian science fiction novel**: *Hourglass: A science fiction novel - Not For Sex Addicts - about seduction, biohacking & philosophy*

**Listener takeaway**: Is there a topic that you've always wanted to master but procrastinated on diving into that you could devote 20 hours to this year?
