What Really Happened? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Sept25_Post.mp3 I’m a huge fan of history. There are plenty of ways to study history. Or to simply enjoy expanding your knowledge about history. But one thing about history is that it’s not really “history” like we think. It’s far from a collection of dates and events and […]
Ditch Useless Shortcuts
Brain Power https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug21_Post.mp3 Chess players burn a lot of calories. It doesn’t look that way. They’re just sitting there, right?

Gorilla Death Stare
Scariest Face Ever https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug19_Post.mp3 A gorilla is a pretty scary looking animal. If you were out on afternoon stroll and you found yourself face to face with a gorilla, you couldn’t do much. You couldn’t run, or fight, or slowly slink away and go in the opposite direction.

Forget The Words
Long Time https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/22Aug13_Post.mp3 Most science is rejected at first. It’s rejected because science is generally created by intellectuals and academics.

Magic Killing Elephants

Master The Metaphorical World
No Thing Exists https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug01_Post.mp3 Every thing is a metaphor. This is a literal, scientific truth. One I learned by watching a lecture on the Higgs Boson.

Their Inner Hero
Clever Dude https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22July11_Post.mp3 Bernays was an old school marketing genius. Maybe a bit on the evil side. To brainwash entire populations.
