S2E8: Yes to Human Cloning by Raël

This week, our dedicated dilettantes dissect Yes to Human Cloning, a techno-optimist utopian manifesto. Is this the screed of a Silicon Valley pseudointellectual desperate to secure more runway? Don't be fooled: it's a 2001 work from Raël, notorious leader of the Raelian UFO sex cult, who believes humanity was cloned into existence by alien nudists. The boys trace Raël's path from a UFO encounter in 1973 that rewrote the bible to the 2003 Clonaid hoax, and ask why his oddball movement fell into decline.  Send us Fan Mail
