ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If robots can be developed to run ultra trail marathons and compete in sporting events, then why should humans even bother anymore?
Maybe it's less about being better than someone else, and more about finding out where one's own limits are. Maybe that's the essence of being human.
In this episode of ThrowForward Thursday we ask how advanced humanoid robots are rewiring not just our view of automation and technology, but also our view of ourselves.
Also, as a bonus... keep an eye on my progress towards running one of the world's toughest trail marathons, the Otter Challenge in October 2026.
