Murder
I wonder if there's been a single year in the history of our species where a person hasn't taken the life of another. It would have to have been a year when there weren't many of us around. I hope we can get another such year soon! 2024 is already out, so it'll have to be 2025.
In the meantime, is the idea of murder useful in our quest for good life?
Only time will tell. Time, and this episode of your favourite podcast, Rank Ideas! -

127 - Whimsy
Whimsy.
/ˈwɪmzi/
synonyms: arbitrariness, capriciousness, flightiness, whimsey, whimsicality. type of: irresponsibility, irresponsibleness.
Damn. That doesn't sound so good. Good thing the thesaurus doesn't have much of a role in modern society. Especially not in the Rank Ideas HQ, which doesn't even have a bookshelf. Purple monkey dishwasher. -
Generalisation
Every episode we release these days is about generalisation. Same must go for every podcast. That's new media for you.
Next you'll be telling me that all new media is podcasts.
Which, also, is correct. -
125 - Social Media
Excited to report that our species is almost totally connected to each other and we can finally find harmony by hearing everyone's perspective. Ceaselessly.

Selfishness
In writing this episode description I looked up the 7 deadly sins. It turns out there used to be more but they were cut down by combining them and then re-expanded before being picked up by Billy Graham of all people. He still holds the record for largest crowd at the Melbourne Cricket Ground - something like 160,000 in the 1950s. More than 7% of the entire city at the time. Insane to imagine.
Some of the sins we lost include Tristitia (despondency) and Ἀκηδία (dejection), which I think is interesting.
None of this really has much to do with this episode, but I thought I should include it just because I want to. You understand.

Great Idea, Well Executed
A podcast that hooks you in from the elevator pitch alone. Nick
A good idea
In the vista of podcast ideas, this is one of the better ones. Is it the best one? We'll have to wait until they Nick and Chris do an episode on it.
