I agree. He interviews a lot of fascinating people with highly-specialized backgrounds. To research their work and understand it enough to have great conversational flow and remain highly insightful would take a lot of…
He doesn't consider himself a physicist either.[1] [1] https://youtu.be/2wq9x2QcZN0?t=2025 At 33:45 of the podcast after he gives the kinetic-potential energy analogy to describe his distrust of Pinker's optimism.
I'm very much like you, and I think startups/small companies with a flat management structure (i.e. level obfuscation as another commenter phrased it) or where most managers have engineering backgrounds. In my…
There's a fascinating youtube channel called X-Pilot that does videos on flight incidents/disasters. The creator gathers a lot of really interesting info and does a brief step by step recreation of the incident in a…
True, which is why looking at so generally makes it seem paradoxical. I can't recall where it read it, but I think it's the result of some phagocytic, either auto- (i.e. lysosomes, intracellular clean up) or macro-…

The criteria for adaptive evolution, in the classical Darwinian sense, are: 1). Reproduction. 2). Variation between the products of reproduction. 3). Heritability between those variants. 4). Differential success among…
