I've gotten really interested in this topic of cows' effect on the environment lately. I remember watching Cowspiracy a while back and just being blown away by the numbers. I remember finishing watching that and just thinking "Oof, the planet is doomed."
Then I met Peter Balle...
Hey everyone,
It's been a while since I've posted. I've set it so no one will be charged for March. I want to catch back up and get you guys some decent posts. I certainly haven't forgotten about you guys, honestly I think up a lot of posts that would be cool in theory, but then they end u...
Hey everyone,
Here's the script for the red light video.
Looking forward to see any comments y'all have on this - have you tried it before? Did you notice any effects? What was your perception of red light before the video, and did it change?
Hi everyone,
Newsletter time.
I’ve been looking into Cannabidiol (CBD) a bit. It’s apparently been legal in Japan for a while now, but I just recently found out about it because this store near where I live is selling tinctures and vapes. I bought the vape and it seems to make me ...

Hey everyone, this is a graphic of the weaning approach I did for coffee. I've suspected I would feel better without coffee a couple times in the past but finally got around to getting off it and confirmed this suspicion. I might make a post or a video about the science of why I have less appetit...

Hey everyone!
It's been a while but the new video is finally out.
If anyone has any comments on the editing please let me know - looking for way to improve and remove effects (that take a long time to do) that don't add anything.

Half way through and it's a great book so far. So far it doesn't look like this book will help you better talk to strangers. In fact, it's about why we are naturally quite bad at making judgements of pe...
Hey Y'all,

Hey everyone,
This video took a lot out of me. As usual, I waaay over-researched for this as usual - have about 50 pages of unused notes left so I'll for sure need to make another video on this topic from a different perspective at some point.
