Spinach https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug14_Post.mp4 Way back in the day, Popeye cartoons were popular. When I was a kid, they had OLD Popeye cartoons on TV.

Slow People https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug13_Post.mp4 The transition from hunting to farming was very, very slow. At least 5,000 years. The last ice age ended about 11,000 years ago.

The Deserving Paradox
Lazy Monkey People https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug06_Post.mp4 Humans are basically lazy. That’s a good thing. All animals have evolved a max ROI instinct.

The Best Acting Role Ever
