\n\n Bullets in the air \n\n

One of the worse ways to celebrate. Coins off of a skyscraper. Mass and volume and drag. Bullet lethality reductions with different trajectories.

\n\n Eating only meat \n\n

The benefits and drawbacks. The inuit diet. Surprisingly-high carbohydrate intake when all your meat is raw. Micronutrients via organ meats. Food preservation through controlled rot. Using fats and proteins to energy.

\n\n Evolutionary humanity \n\n

Other varieties of humanity that coexisted with homo sapiens. The study of evolution. Fossil evidence and developments in mitochondrial DNA analysis. The multiregional hypothesis -> the out of Africa hypothesis.

\n\n Human evolutionary promiscuity \n\n

Neanderthals, Denisovans, and uh\u2026. gorillas? The evolutionary relationship between gorilla and human pubic lice.

\n\n Metacognition \n\n

Don\u2019t forget other animals are smart too! Humans are still way better though.

\n\n The boner test \n\n

Awkward science. Would you pass?

\n\n Transhumanism in Zardoz \n\n

The nature of power the \u201cEternals\u201d have. Evolutionary timescales vs the application of technology. AI control.

\n\n Dealing with immortality \n\n

Boredom is for boring people. The value of freedom of will when you can\u2019t die.
