このコンテンツについて

Cold Logic Podcast is a cinematic investigative series that blends cutting-edge storytelling with AI-assisted research to probe the world’s most elusive events, suppressed narratives, and unexplained global phenomena. From vanishing civilizations and black-budget experiments to digital propaganda and psychological warfare, each episode uncovers hidden threads woven into the fabric of history, power, and control.AI is used in the procurement and analysis of information, helping us detect buried connections and forgotten records that traditional reporting often misses. But it’s the storytelling—guided by logic, shadowed by mystery—that drives this journey through the unknown.With each episode, Cold Logic invites listeners to follow the trail of evidence into a world where truth is fragmented, facts are filtered, and reality may be stranger than fiction.Follow the logic. Question everything.New episodes released weekly.

  • CRISPR & the Forbidden Genome: Editing Ethics and the Superhuman Arms Race
    2025/08/04
    In this cinematic episode of Cold Logic, Silas Gray pulls back the veil on the explosive frontier of human alteration: CRISPR and the Forbidden Genome. Once the stuff of speculative fiction, genome editing is now real, precise, and inheritable—and the global conversation over who gets to rewrite humanity is fracturing. From the medical breakthrough of CRISPR-based therapies like Casgevy that are curing sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia, to the scandal of the “CRISPR babies” and the uneasy comeback of He Jiankui, this episode traces the scientific, ethical, geopolitical, and human stakes in the emerging superhuman arms race. We dig into the international push for a moratorium on heritable human genome editing, the fractured governance landscape (including WHO’s frameworks), the rise of clandestine enhancement programs and black-market editing, and the risk of biological inequality as enhancement becomes a new axis of power. Through storytelling, expert context, and sobering reflection, Cold Logic asks: once you can edit the code of life, who decides what’s allowed, what’s enhanced, and what gets erased? Listeners will come away with a clear map of the tools (CRISPR, base and prime editing), the controversies, the proposed global social contract, and actionable steps to engage—because the future of humanity’s genome shouldn’t be written behind closed doors.#CRISPR #ForbiddenGenome #ColdLogicPodcast #SilasGray #GenomeEditing #SuperhumanArmsRace #HeJiankui #Casgevy #EthicsInBiotech #HeritableEditing #MoratoriumOnHHGE #GeneticGovernance #Bioethics #WHOGenomeFramework #EnhancementVsTherapy #BiologicalInequality #GeneEditingRegulation #GenomeSocialContract #Biosecurity #HumanUpgrade Sources & Key References:FDA approval of CRISPR-based therapies (Casgevy and Lyfgenia) for sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia, marking the first clinical deployment of human genome editing for inherited disorders.

  • Silicon Valley's DNA Harvest: Unpacking the New Health Tech Conspiracy
    2025/08/04
    In this chilling episode of Cold Logic, Silas Gray investigates the emerging conspiracy theory that Silicon Valley’s health tech companies aren't just in the business of personal wellness—they're secretly in the business of harvesting your DNA. We explore the fine line between innovation and exploitation, from direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies to futuristic biotech startups promising eternal life. We'll examine real-world data privacy concerns, the history of venture capital's entanglement with government secrecy, and the psychological roots that make us believe in a powerful, clandestine cabal. Is your genetic data being used to build a new elite, or is the truth a more mundane—and more insidious—form of corporate greed?

  • Dead Internet Theory: Are Bots Running the Web?
    2025/08/04
    In this episode of Cold Logic, Silas Gray dives into the eerie, increasingly plausible question behind Dead Internet Theory—is the web really alive, or is it being populated, steered, and amplified by non-human actors? From the origin story of the theory to the latest data showing that over half of web traffic is automated, we unpack how sophisticated bots, AI-generated “slop,” and algorithmic feedback loops create the illusion of consensus, outrage, and engagement. You’ll hear how the sensation of a hollow, rehearsed internet is rooted in measurable trends: bad bots making up large slices of traffic, low-quality generative content crowding out human signal, and recommendation systems turning seeded synthetic signal into perceived popularity. We also explore the psychological drivers—like apophenia—that make manufactured patterns feel intentional, the national security and misinformation risks from deepfakes and adversarial AI, and what defenders are doing to push back with detection, digital literacy, and emerging policy. Cold Logic blends hard data, cultural context, and cinematic storytelling to answer: Who’s really posting, who’s amplifying it, and what happens when the “crowd” you trust might be mostly code? #DeadInternetTheory #ColdLogicPodcast #SilasGray #Bots #AIslop #SyntheticContent #AlgorithmicAmplification #Deepfakes #DigitalLiteracy #InformationIntegrity #Apophenia #Misinformation #BadBots #GenerativeAI #InternetTrust #AIManipulation #MediaSkepticism #CyberInfluence #FakeEngagement #DetectAISources & Key References:Imperva Bad Bot Reports (2024 & 2025) — empirical breakdown showing that automated traffic now exceeds human traffic, with “bad bots” responsible for a large and growing share, and how AI is making bots more evasive and impactful.
