Pass The Chips https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July10_Post.mp4 Humans are pretty lazy animals. Which, paradoxically, is our best trait. Or one of our best traits. A long, long time ago, we split based on gender. Men hunted, and got protein and fat. Women gathered, and got roots, nuts, etc. This made is different […]
Who’s Choosing Your Life?
Milk Eggs Etc. https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jun28_Post.mp4 Most people go shopping with a list. Even if you don’t have a physical list, you have one in your brain. Even if you don’t know what you want, you have an idea of what’s good and what’s not. If you are standing in a room, looking out […]
Why The Road Is Better Than The Inn
TV Party https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May18_Post.mp4 If you are really hungry, and you decide to eat a sack of fast food, along with your favorite alcoholic beverage, it would be a good time.

No Coasting Allowed
Racing Styles They have different kinds of bike races. Flat races, races through hills, and on mountain trails.

Brainwave Drumming Techniques
Vegas Riches There is this very surprisingly rich performer who works the streets in Las Vegas. All he does is play drums that are made out of empty five gallon plastic buckets. But his tip hat is always overflowing with large bills. Dangers In Childhood https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May30Loop.mp4 There’s a new theory that age […]
Center Of The Universe
Big Bang One cool thing about the Universe is why every person on every planet on the Universe can legitimately claim they are the center of the Universe. Since from every point space, you would measure all other points in the universe expanding equally in all directions. A cool metaphor to describe this […]
She Went Inside Her Brain
Look Inside My Brain I saw this TED talk a while ago about a lady who was a neurologist and then had a stroke. And she explained in full detail what it was like, how her brain slowly more or less went offline. And how even dialing the phone became something utterly confusing […]
Self Deluded Geniuses
Islands and Oceans One of my favorite science metaphor is about the relationship of what we know, to the stuff we don’t know. What we know is like the coastline of a small island. What we don’t know is the huge ocean. Which means the more we discover things that we know, […]
Blender Hallucinations
Home Depot Disaster I had a friend once in this class I took a couple of years ago at a community college. He told me a story about how he’d just seen the movie, “Jackass,” and was feeling inspired. So, he and a friend went into Home Depot and he took a dump […]
