    Until The Sun Dies

    Until The Sun Dies - Episode 006 A journey through the storage and exchange of value takes us from physical gold to digital gold AKA cryptocurrency. This topic covers everything from the Knights Templar to the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. The exchange of value runs hand in hand with encryption and the protection of information. The best offense is a good defense and the protection and encryption of information has been one of the main tools of warfare since ancient times. The Achilles Heel of encryption and protection of data is being able to read the minds of the people that know the information. This week's PopCon explores the governments efforts to read and control minds... MK ULTRA But the most important question this PopCon is ...how many people do you call by three names?

    Apes Smoking Wheat - Episode 005 We dive headfirst into the foundation of modern civilization...the good ol' agricultural revolution. A trip through the reasons early humans decided to farm and the poor animals that succeeded in misery. For as long as we've been farming, we've been smoking. A brief history of modern smoking and an absolute relativity level theory on why we even smoke at all.

    Unsung Modifications

    We open up the discussion on genetic and body modifications to take a look at its origins and where it can go in the future. We were all more excited than we thought to consider the endless possibilities. What would your modification of choice be? In an effort to sing a song for the forgotten heroes of time, we sit down to bring up our first tracklist of Unsung Heroes. In this episode we sing a song for a pencil-pusher hero, a benevolent medicine man, and the first "software developer". More importantly though...can you patent the sun? A PopCon being discussed all "around" the world... The Flat Earth theory. In this one we run through the science of the flat earth map and explore the philosophy of the believers. With rudimentary math you can do the calculations and figure out that the world is spherical BUT who taught you that math?
