Bullets in the air
One of the worse ways to celebrate. Coins off of a skyscraper. Mass and volume and drag. Bullet lethality reductions with different trajectories.
Eating only meat
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.
Evolutionary humanity
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.
Human evolutionary promiscuity
Neanderthals, Denisovans, and uh…. gorillas? The evolutionary relationship between gorilla and human pubic lice.
Metacognition
The boner test
Awkward science. Would you pass?
Transhumanism in Zardoz
The nature of power the “Eternals” have. Evolutionary timescales vs the application of technology. AI control.

Boredom is for boring people. The value of freedom of will when you can’t die.
