Let's Find Out

Arthur C Clarke was a prolific and brilliant sci-fi author. Best known for 2001: A Space Odyssey, he was known to write many short stories as well. This one is a favorite of mine.

Aside from his famous book on the lives and opinions of the greatest philosophers (The Story of Philosophy), the renowned historian, Will Durant, wrote an 11 volume overview of all of human history (The Story of Civilization). In this episode I use vol. 1 (Our Oriental Heritage) as a jumping off point to consider the biological, cultural, and historical common ground we all share and the power of...

We discuss what ASMR tells us about our nature, psychology, and society.

Stretched 10x, the ambience is incredible. It's like standing in a cosmic cathedral, briefly tapping into the essence of the universe.

Santa Claus is one of the last living mythical figures. The image of the modern Santa is derived from a few 19th century children's stories, but the idea these were based on goes back hundreds, and very likely tens of thousands of years into the past of humanity. Also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, or Kris Kringle, Santa is a legendary figure originating in Western Christia...

In part 1 we drew the map and told an awful dad joke. Now we use our map to track Jason and his loyal, adventurous Argonauts on the quest to retrieve the mythical Golden Fleece, there and back again. Thanks for watching. #Ancient #Myth #Greece #Greek #ASMR

Part 2: https://youtu.be/LQWotVqYAso Before we find out about the Greek myth of Jason, Medea, and the Argonaut's search for the Golden Fleece in Part Two, let's draw the setting: the ancient Mediterranean (literally "middle" (medi-) "Earth" (terra)). Thanks for watching. #drawing #map #ancient #ASMR

Why do we buy Christmas trees? Santa is a 4th Century Saint from Turkey? Celebrating Christmas used to be illegal?... Christmas has a longer history than you might think. But it's also not as rigid either. From pagan, winter solstice rituals and festivities, to Madison Avenue marketing of Old St. Nick, Christmas is defined by humans, and we seem to always try to have a good time. Let's find out th...

Here's Part 2 to my coffee saga. Part 1 is found here: https://youtu.be/cqiUgBl83Hw So how did we discover this ubiquitous daily drug? The earliest credible evidence of coffee-drinking appears in Yemen in southern Arabia in the middle of the 15th century in Sufi shrines. It was here in Arabia that coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed in a similar way to how it is now prepared. Coffee seeds w...

Captain James Cook is known for his extensive voyages that took him throughout the Arctic and Pacific Oceans in the mid-1700's. Unbeknownst to his crew, he had simultaneously been sent on a clandestine voyage by the British government to discover the lost continent of Antarctica, at that time called "Terra Australis." During this journey, he mapped several island groups in the Pacific that had bee...

Join me on part 2 of the "Black Hole Civilization" trilogy. We discuss the Fate and Chronology of the Universe. How the big bang led to our current state and where it (and we) will evolve 100 trillion years from now. Just how will the Universe get to be as dark, cold, and sparse as cosmologists believe it will naturally become? That of course depends on how we (being a natural part of the Universe...

Thanks to Sebastian Williams for supporting the channel and suggesting I do an ancient war campaign. I had fun researching this one. *Attila (thanks for correcting the spelling guys) and his Huns seemingly came out of nowhere, but modern Hungary (the eastern edges of Europe) is really their origin. He nearly sacked the entire Roman Empire, and certainly played a key role in weakening it, as the th...

A bag of candle wax that makes many good sounds. Thanks for watching.

I used to browse ebay and thrift stores for really old books. There's something about the tactile look, feel and smell of old books that draw me in. Let's find out what's in the dozen or so I've brought today. Thanks for watching. #books #oldbooks #asmr #ASMR

I always fall asleep to lectures on philosophy, history, astronomy, and Dr. James Hillman is one of the best unintentional ASMR voices out there. The fact that he has fascinating perspectives of profound psychological and philosophical topics synchronizes nicely with my content. Enjoy.
