Rob Pope is an ultra endurance runner and an author. Lees meer
For 20 years, Forrest Gump's famous route across America 5 times has stood as pure fiction. Not only had no one completed it, but many runners claimed it would be physically impossible and that the punishing 15,000 miles would claim any athlete who attempted it. Then Rob came along.

There are few areas of science as contested as the climate. I wanted to speak to someone who has been researching this area for more than 3 decades to discover out why there is so much disagreement over fundamental questions like whether the earth's warming is actually caused by humans?

Why Pain & Suffering Are Necessary For A Good Life - Paul Bloom - #402
25 november 2021 · 1 uur 18 min
Paul Bloom is Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale University and an author. Lees meer
People do strange things to feel pleasure. Eating spicy food, having rough sex, watching scary movies. On top of that, they make huge sacrifices to find meaning, like having children or starting a business or training for a marathon. This suggests that perhaps there is more to living a good life than simple hedonistic pleasure.
Expect to learn the four ways that we enjoy suffering, how the sexual fantasies of men & women differ, the true red pill around whether more money will make you happier, what you can learn about mindfulness from a dominatrix, why people love to watch sad movies, how a life without discomfort will become hell and much more...

Terrible Journalism & Interesting Statistics - Rob Orchard - #399
18 november 2021 · 1 uur 22 min
Rob Orchard is a journalist and the co-founder and editor of Delayed Gratification Magazine. Lees meer
Journalism isn't working. Media outlets are more concerned with being first than being right and stories are built to create outrage rather than insight.

Then he found a ton of fascinating statistics about the world.
Expect to learn what the most popular crossbreed of dog was in 2020, how the Amanda Knox story shows how modern journalism is totally broken, what you should statistically do if you want to win an Oscar, why the 2010's was a terrible year for original cinema, why there's 2 golf balls on the moon and much more...

30 oktober 2021 · 1 uur 6 min
Tim Stanley is a historian, author and leader writer for the Daily Telegraph. Lees meer
The modern world has given us a lot.
