Overview

THE BIG QUESTIONS in BRAINS, BODIES, MINDS (tl;dr) Is AI a ""good"" therapist? Can a machine with no causal contact with the physical world truly understand human suffering, or is it merely a statistical simulacrum of empathy? Is AI a better doctor than yours? AI is now ""the third chair"" in clinical settings-how will medicine and healthcare economics respond to automated diagnosis? What are ""bodily autonomy"" and ""libertarian biology""? From tech-bro biohackers to ""Crunchy Moms,"" new cultural trends reject orthodox medicine. What are the risks and benefits? Will GLP-1s edit our psychology and society? With 10% of Western adults taking GLP-1s, what are the cascading effects on healthcare, wellness, economics, and self-identity? What is the ""wellness-industrial complex""? Huberman is the most trusted health advisor of our time-what does he get right, and where is he selling snake oil? --- We are not facing a single Black Swan in 2026. We are facing a collision of five forces covered in the five volumes of The Great Collisions Series.MEDICINE, MARKETS, INTELLIGENCES, ENTERPRISES, AND SCIENCE For the last year, Paul Gibbons has been mapping the vectors that will define 2026, the global economy, and human flourishing (the bit often forgotten). What happens when the Intelligence Explosion crashes into Human Systems? The result isn't just ""better tools,"" nor an assured apocalypse. On the front line are doctors, biohackers, GLP1s, peptides, wellness influencers, and therapists. Therefore... I am thrilled to unveil the first volume in my new series, The Great Collisions. Volume 1: Brains, Bodies, Minds is a strategic playbook for the revolution currently underway in medicine, therapy, and wellness. We are moving from the age of the ""God Doctor"" to the age of the ""Clinical Triumvirate""-where the patient, the physician, and the algorithm form a new, high-stakes partnership. In this book, he explores: The death of the ""Therapeutic Alliance"" (in a chapter called ""Is AI a Better Doctor Than Your Doctor?"") The rise of ""Bodily Autonomy"" (in a chapter called My Molecules, My Body). Empathy as a Service: Can synthetic compassion scale mental healthcare to billions, or is it the ultimate counterfeit? GLP1s and Identity Editing: Beyond weight loss-how modifying our biology rewrites our sense of self and agency. The Wellness-Industrial Complex, a $5 trillion industry, at the top of which sit folks like Huberman, arguably the most charismatic, and therefore potentially the most dangerous. About The Great Collisions Series The Great Collisions maps the five converging forces shaping our immediate future: MEDICINE: The shift from treating sickness to engineering vitality. Is the ""Natural Human"" obsolete? MARKETS: The economic shock of zero-marginal-cost intelligence. What is the price of human judgment when IQ is free? INTELLIGENCES: The arrival of synthetic minds that do not think like us. Are we building a partner or a replacement? ENTERPRISES: The rewiring of the corporation around cognitive agents. Can legacy giants survive the speed of the swarm? SCIENCE: The acceleration of discovery through simulation. What happens when 50 years of progress happens in 5?
