Infinite Potential https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun07_Post.mp3 I was watching a video the other day about a math professor. Talking about math in general. The videographer asked the guy: “Why should young people think about becoming mathematicians?” He said that math is the one field where you can explore and keep finding new stuff. […]
Build Your Brain
Words Without Voices https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun06_Post.mp3 One of my favorite scenes from TV and Movies is from the first season of “The Last Kingdom.” The English were fighting against the Vikings. And one Viking leader lost a battle, and converted to Christianity. This is more or less historically accurate. In real life, the […]
Your Greatest Gift
Brain Evolution https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun03_Post.mp3 Once upon a time, humans, or rather proto humans, had to chase animals. They call it persistence hunting. They think maybe this is why we evolved arched feet and sweaty hairless bodies. We are one of the few animals that can bleed off body heat by sweating. Most […]
Brain Magic
Silent Genius https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun02_Post.mp3 Once upon a time there was a young dude named Einstein. When he was born, he didn’t talk. At least not when other kids did. He took his sweet time. Preferring, maybe, to spend the time inside his brain. Figuring things out. Later, he turned out […]
Don’t Blame God
Not My Fault https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May20_Post.mp3 Once I worked with a guy. He was a very zealous born again Christian. Always trying to convert me. Once, he came into work and mentioned that he’d burned his toast. Not once, not twice, but three times. His response was that God didn’t want him […]
Escape Insidious Cons
Big Business https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May04_Post.mp3 The path of any business is simple. And very repeatable. First, any business does ANYTHING they can to make a profit. So the money they get on the front end is more than the money they get on the back end. The next step is to scale up the […]
The Instant Riches Trap
Short Term Love https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May03_Post.mp3 Getting a financial windfall is the dream of nearly everybody. At least, superficially. One massive lump sum that would do two very, very wonderful things. One, to pay off all your bills and never worry about financial things again. Two, to do the things you really want. […]
Ancient Leadership Scams
Ruthless https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May01_Post.mp3 Once I took a speech class. The one I wanted, public speaking, was full. These are usually pretty fun. The one I got was “group dynamics.” Less fun. Probably because of the teacher. I think a more decent professor would teach a better class. But this […]
Supermarket Party Skills
How’s That Avocado? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Apr27_Post.mp3 Imagine a typical day for a typical person during a typical week. Let’s pick a Tuesday. Not quite halfway through the week. But far enough away from yesterday that the common Monday blues are starting to fade. Anyhow, let’s say you’re at the store. Picking up […]
Houdini Death Blows
Stuck Underwater https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Apr11_Post.mp4 I’ve always been a fan of Harry Houdini, the famous escape artist. There was a movie about him I’d seen as a kid, a whole bunch of times. He was put into a safe, and dropped into a frozen river. He escaped from the safe, but missed the hole […]
