In this second of our grab bag format, Eugene and David debate whether the Republican party has now officially become the party of white male nationalists. We also ask whether parents should be allowed to pick their child-to-be's gender, and whether new medical technologies like CRISPR or CAR-T “feel different." Finally, we reveal how we would spend $10,000 if we had to spend it on something fun. (Eugene is apparently shocked by David’s answer!) Next time, we’ll return to our normal format. As always, thank you for listening!

"Engineered humans are a ways off—but nobody thinks they’re science fiction anymore.” - Amy Maxmen
In this episode, Eugene and I debate and discuss the so-called “Billy Graham” rule, a practice among some male evangelical Protestant leaders, where they avoid spending time alone with women to whom they are not married. On this Apple Events day, we also discuss what Sir Jony Ive’s departure means for the company, David has an old-man-on-the-lawn moment about “bezels,” and we catch up on how our diets are (or aren’t) going. As always, thanks for listening!

“The most harmful aspect of the Graham/Pence rule is this: It keeps women out of the room. It says that men can forward their careers via mentoring sessions, golf games and brainstorming lunches, but women cannot. The Graham/Pence rule prevents women from climbing to the top of their careers because the men who have the power to help them get there won’t even let them in the room.” – Monica Hesse
