TBNS: Are We Playing God with Nature?
What happens when we stop asking “should we?” and only focus on “can we?” Are we walking straight into a real-life version of Jurassic Park… but with federal funding and zero public input? In this episode, we’re diving into the controversial—and frankly unsettling—world of environmental disruption: cloud seeding, de-extincting animals like the dire wolf, and the broader question of whether humans are dangerously close to playing God.

Isaiah Menning from the American Conservation Coalition joins the show to make the case for what many see as radical environmental innovation. He argues that technologies like cloud seeding and bringing back extinct species aren’t just tools for science fiction—they’re critical for solving real-world problems like drought, ecological collapse, and even reviving American traditions. But is it really that simple?
We explore why some environmentalists are pushing for genetically modified trees, resurrected woolly mammoths, and redirected rainfall… and why skeptics are waving red flags. From the risks of long-term ecological side effects to the ethical minefield of tampering with nature, Brian asks the hard questions that most legacy media won’t touch. This isn’t just about science—it’s about who we trust, what we value, and whether we actually know what we’re doing.
Brian pushes back hard on the idea that “more tech = more good,” drawing on historical parallels like DDT, COVID-era mandates, and the blind trust in institutions that later admitted, “Oops.” Are we once again being sold the illusion of safety, only to find out decades later that we were the experiment?
If you've ever felt uneasy about our increasing obsession with controlling the environment “for our own good,” you won’t want to miss this episode. This is the kind of discussion that demands your attention—because once the gene is out of the bottle, there's no putting it back in.
