Atmospheric Pressure One of the biggest scientific breakthroughs of the Industrial Revolution has nothing to do with factories. It has to do with something called the Haber process. Plants need nitrogen to grow. And every since life started, the only place plants could get nitrogen was from the Earth. Even though nitrogen […]
Emergent Alien Consciousness
Self Awareness One of the most perplexing scientific ideas is self awareness. Of being aware of our own thoughts we think them. Of being aware of our own words as we speak them. Of being aware of the never ending loop between brain and speech and thought and ideas and memories and […]
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. But you can also generate work through differences in surface tension. You take these tiny, plastic boats, floating on water. They are built so […]
California Cave Cult
Almond Lover I like to eat almonds. Lately I’ve been buying my almonds from Trader Joe’s. They have the best and the cheapest almonds, even compared to online. Most almonds are grown in California. California has a lot of farms, which require a lot of water. Water Corruption https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug23Loop.mp4 And […]
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 […]

Air Fryers And Slavery
Frying The Air I’ve been seeing a lot of air fryers being advertised lately. I didn’t know what an air fryer was, exactly, so I did some research.

Donut Gun Hypnosis Pattern
College Job When I was in college I got this cool job at a donut shop. I’d never really thought about donuts before them, from an engineering standpoint. I worked late afternoons, early evenings, when you got to make all the donuts. You took processed flour, sugar and some coloring, mixed it […]
The History Erasure Paradox
Hindsight Bias One problem in modern society is hindsight bias. When you rewrite your past to better predict the future. A common metaphor is driving by looking in the rear-view mirror.
