Some consider psychedelics as a perceptual rollercoaster ride. The histories of these mind-altering agents are in themselves a rollercoaster of methodical traditions punctuated with shooting star experimentation. But the ride isn’t over! John and Zach cover what these compounds do to us, the current standing of psychedelics, the still-bright future of psychedelics, and how they might impact our worlds.

NEW Episode! Billions of global citizens attend many business meetings and other events every year. Attendee satisfaction isn’t exactly 100%... John and Zach discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic is transforming the business event industry generally (36:30), why that transformation was overdue (19:30), and how the virtualization of these events forecasts to our business and event futures (53:50).

In this week's electrifying episode, Zach and John channel their inner Jimmy Neutron (BRAIN BLAST!!!) and delve into the mad-science-inspiring world of "neuromodulation through electricity".

New Episode! 🎧

Sleep is 1/3 of our lifetime. But does it have to be? Why do we sleep? Can we just, like, not? This week on the pod, Zach & John take a swing at the science of sleep! Why does our body (and brain) need to sleep? Can I sleep whenever, or is it only beneficial at night? What are some ways to optimize my sleep, and what might a less sleep-dependent world look like?

Yes! We’re back for season 2! ✌️

Zach and John don’t know much about pharmaceuticals except that they’re important and usually quite expensive. So when the cheaper generic drugs are starting to have issues, they dive in and find a world of bad drugs that may be assuaged with hardware and hard policies.

Happy (late) 4th of July! This week on the podcast, we talk educational tech. We learn how humans learn, as well as how good teachers teach. Human teachers definitely aren't going anywhere, but we wonder how AI might augment the classroom as a whole. Thankfully, we're not the only humans who have asked that question! Come explore the answer to that question, and many more!

Many people (present company included) view nuclear energy as a enigmatic, dangerous relic from the past. But is it really? Like a 76 year old Keith Richards, can nuclear fission make one more farewell tour to go out on top? Come listen, and join in on the discussion after!

Instead of our normal podcast episode, we want to share resources have Zach and I have found helpful while trying to understand our racial injustice and how we can help. These are a small fraction of the great resources out there and an even smaller fraction of the work we need to do to right these wrongs.

Please take some time now and lots of time throughout life learning about and acting to correct the abhorrent inequalities that oppress people of color - especially black POC. We strive to do the same and collectively help define where we all are tomorrow.

Episode 8 is here! This week on the pod, we have a slightly more serious, but no less thought-provoking, discussion on Liquid Biopsy. This is an innovative cancer detection method that might be more than meets the eye. Cancer is a really complex thing, and we know not everyone is an expert at it. Neither are we, so come learn along with us!

New episode dropped this morning! Zach and John discuss a world where Google Glass and Pokemon Go evolve into the ultimate “Augmented Reality” device. What happens when everybody has smart teleprompter glasses like Iron Man? And how close are we to that dream scenario?

Episode 006 is here! This week on the pod, Zach and John switch it up a little and discuss a more down-to-Earth, but no less radical topic: the Internal Combustion Engine! It sounds like John and Zach are researching a “dying” technology... But as they find out, the all-electric vehicle future is further out than expected because Formula 1 is pushing out some surprising innovations. Come listen in to find out more!

We are here with Episode 005! This week on the pod, Zach and John talk about the commercialization of the nearest part of the Final Frontier: Low Earth Orbit! First off, we discuss how we get there, and just how deep your pockets need to be to pay for a trip. Really, is it even worth it? Since John and I weren't asked to comment (for some reason) NASA instead consulted investment and aerospace firms alike to ponder that question. And finally, once we get to LEO, what kinds of dangers to we need to look out for? Come find out -> https://share.transistor.fm/s/56b15968

Episode 004 is here! Or, at least, it's here as long as our social media overlords allow it? This week John and Zach are talking about Content Moderation! Who should get to decide what is said online? Should the government have a say? Are Fuji apples even good apples? We might not have the answers, but we definitely have something to say! Come join us:

Episode 003 is Live! In the conclusion of our 3 part mini-series on chronic disease prevention and wearables, Zach and John try to peek into the future of this technology. Fancy algorithms are sometimes hilariously bad. And we don't trust the magic machines. So what happens tomorrow?
