Two laymen with huge issues Lynden & Percy
-
- Society & Culture
What do you get if you let two great apes with high levels of enthusiasm and limited subject matter expertise tackle the great questions of humankind? Well, you need not wonder any longer. You get the contents of this pod. Follow Lynden and Percy on their odyssey to explore some of the most monumental topics possible - ranging from the impossibility of it all and what “I” really am to parenthood and climate change.
-
Why am I the way I am… and two poor decks of cards
Percy & Lynden take on the nature vs nurture question, offer several dubious interpretations of decades worth of twin studies and conclude that your only really relevant role as a parent is not to mess up your kids.
-
What makes me me... and two flesh robots
Lynden & Percy attempt to answer the hard problem of consciousness (why do I experience being myself) by butchering a random pick of evolutionary theories about the brain and arguing the relevance of the question.
-
Nature of reality... and two ants missing out
Lynden and Percy conclude, somewhat longwindedly, that they will never experience reality as it really is, and that they should hence (obviously) offer to stand 5th and 6th in line to implement an infrared vision upgrade.
-
Insanely improbable... and two imbeciles
Lynden and Percy muse over the improbability of everything, and pay tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Badger-Rat and that fortunate Taco-Friday a few million years ago.
