Science, Faith, and Intelligent Life | Qasim Rashid, Human Rights Attorney
Qasim Rashid is a human rights and civil rights attorney, author, advocate, and the founder of Let’s Address This. His work focuses on justice, democracy, human rights, and public discourse, but this conversation turned into a wide-ranging exploration of science, society, faith, sci-fi, and the future.
Expect to learn how an astrophysicist and a human rights attorney ended up talking about alien life, Project Hail Mary, relativity, intelligent whales, faith, the Quran and astronomy, black holes, dark matter, dark energy, space law, human rights in future space colonies, and why curiosity matters in an age of anti-intellectualism.
We also talk about The Expanse, Interstellar, Contact, The Last Question, The Space Traders, whether intelligent life might exist in our galaxy, and one biology fact about mitochondria that still blows my mind.
Hosted by Dr. Dakotah Tyler.
Lead with curiosity.
