Good Job Brain
I really like this trivia podcast. The hosts are all great and there’s always a ton to learn. This episode in particular was good and informed our brain/memory discussion on the show.

Why this movie is the best
A great mechanism for great conversation: a collection of domain experts exploring hypotheticals.
Human Evolution
Biological differences. Geography. Proto human language.
Memory and Learning
Plasticity. Long term memories. Retrospective fill-ins. Meta-memory.
Immortal Biology
Regeneration. Disease. Scarring and cancer.
Nasty, Brutish, and Short
Living through humanity’s violent past. Adjusting to the current morality. Old fashioned ways.
Danger and Risk
Micromorts. Judging risk and how to live life when you’re immortal.
Goodbyes
I’m going home to watch some Star Trek for a dose of sanity.
