In this episode, we descend into the marrow—where science meets spirit, and the MAO-A gene becomes more than a molecule. Known as the “warrior gene,” MAO-A has been linked to aggression, impulse, and ancestral survival. But what happens when this gene is activated in a world that no longer honors ritual, rhythm, or restraint? DS unpacks the tension between genetic inheritance and cultural accountability, weaving the story of Ea—the breath of sovereignty—into a conversation about blood memory, colonial disruption, and the sacred responsibility of descendants. This is not just biology. It’s prophecy. It’s governance encoded in flesh.
