Long Game Mind Control
Plastic Boat There’s a lot of way to create work, from a scientific standpoint. Nearly all useful work is created by differences in temperature or electrical potential.

Vampire Parasite Nation
Vampire Bats Vampire bats have a highly regulated collection of social instincts. One of them is the capability of doing each other favors, and remembering who has done favors for whom.

Quantum Brain Matrix
Resonators One of my favorite ideas from science is the idea or resonance. A common way to apply the resonance principle is to a wine glass. If you run your fingers along the rim, the vibrations of your finger along the rim will resonate with the natural frequency of the class. Another […]

A much deeper bias is our instinctive, cause-effect generator. This pops in many unexpected and troublesome places. Perplexing Randomness […]
Atomic Russian Thought Control
Invention of Chemistry Once they figured out how atoms worked, chemistry was invented. The first guy who figured out the period table was a Russian guy named Mendeleev. Atoms all have the same basic structure, neutrons and protons on the inside, with electrons on the outside. Three basic atoms, Carbon, Oxygen and […]
