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.

Show Notes

Production

Jerome Bixby’s final, lifelong work. A bittorrent success story. The Man From Earth: The Series

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.
