The human condition is bizarre.
There are three huge questions in the world of science that have excited me for years:
- what is the universe within which we seem to exist?

In this podcast I discuss many areas including issues with both "mainstream" and non-mainstream sources of sensemaking, worries I have with the WHO leadership, dealing with potentially bad information, & sources I currently trust to help make sense of the pandemic.
