  • When Hawks Become Traffic Engineers
    Jun 5 2025

    Send us a text

    Read the article

    If we're this wrong about hawks—creatures we can observe directly—what does that say about our understanding of other species? What sophisticated behaviors and cognitive abilities are we missing because they don't fit our narrow definitions of intelligence?

    More importantly, what does this mean for how we design our world? If we're sharing urban spaces with creatures whose intelligence we consistently underestimate, how should that change our approach to city planning, conservation, and coexistence?

    This hawk story isn't just about animal cognition. It's about the dangerous arrogance of assuming we're the only ones paying attention, the only ones learning, the only ones capable of strategic thinking about the world we've built.

  • ⚕️The Hearts We Didn't Know We Were Breaking: What We're Learning About COVID's Long Shadow on Our Children
    Jun 4 2025

    Send us a text

    See our episode substack with haiku, details and comic

    We told ourselves a story about children and COVID-19. It was a comforting story.

    Like most comforting stories we tell ourselves during crises, this one was both partially true and dangerously incomplete.

    A massive new study from the RECOVER Consortium has just shattered our comfortable narrative. The kind of study that's too big to dismiss, too methodical to wave away, too urgent to ignore.

  • The Radical Science of Peace: What Dame Kathleen Lonsdale Knew
    Jun 3 2025

    Send us a text

    When World War II came, Lonsdale faced the ultimate test of her convictions. As a conscientious objector, she was imprisoned rather than participate in the war effort. Think about that choice: a woman at the height of her scientific career, choosing prison over compromise.

    But here's what's remarkable—that experience didn't break her. It radicalized her further. She emerged from prison to become one of Europe's most influential prison reformers, connecting the dots between what she called our "civilizational cult of war" and the systems of incarceration that manage its fallout.

    Her analysis was surgical: societies organized around military power inevitably create deep inequalities, which then require vast prison systems to manage the resulting social chaos. The military-industrial complex doesn't just wage wars abroad—it wages war on its own citizens through systemic injustice.

  • 🧠 The Uncomfortable Truth About What You Really Believe
    Jun 2 2025

    Send us a text

    Hummm, go deeper. Comic, haiku, mind maps, essay and more

    Why your deepest convictions have more in common with falling in love than solving math problems

    We tell ourselves a comforting lie about how our minds work. We like to imagine that our beliefs are the product of careful reasoning—that we weigh evidence, consider alternatives, and arrive at conclusions through some kind of internal cost-benefit analysis. It's a neat story that makes us feel rational, controlled, and fundamentally different from those "other people" who believe crazy things.

    But here's the thing: that story is mostly bullshit.

    If you've ever tried to change someone's mind about politics, watched a loved one stay in a toxic relationship, or caught yourself defending a position you know deep down is shaky, you've witnessed the gap between how we think belief works and how it actually works. And that gap isn't a bug in the system—it's a feature we've been systematically ignoring.

  • The Virus That Hijacks Your Immune System's First Responders
    Jun 1 2025

    Send us a text

    Think of your immune system as a sophisticated military operation. Neutrophils are the rapid response team—they arrive first at any sign of trouble, ready to fight. But what if an invader could somehow reprogram these first responders to work against their own army?

    That's exactly what researchers led by Shia and colleagues discovered SARS-CoV-2 can do. Within just one hour of exposure to the virus, healthy neutrophils begin expressing surface markers that transform them into immune suppressors.

    The most chilling part? The virus doesn't even need to be alive to do this. Dead viral particles trigger the same response. This isn't about viral replication running amok—this is about a pathogen that has evolved sophisticated mechanisms to disarm our defenses from the moment of contact. ... con tinue reading the article

  • 🧪The Hidden Medicine Cabinet: Why One Old Drug Might Hold Keys to Our Chronic Illness Crisis
    May 31 2025

    Corresponding Substack Episode

    When a 50-year-old addiction medication starts reversing autoimmune diseases, clearing brain fog, and helping cancer patients—maybe it's time we stopped thinking about medicine the way pharmaceutical companies want us to.

    We live in an age of medical gaslighting disguised as evidence-based care. Millions of people suffer from conditions that conventional medicine can't explain, won't treat, or dismisses as psychological. Long Covid patients know this intimately—told their debilitating symptoms are "just anxiety" while their immune systems wage war against their own bodies.

  • Lost Mobility: The Prison You Don't See Coming
    May 30 2025

    Send us a text

    Think about two people: Mark, who bikes the same route to work every day and hits the same gym with military precision, and Eleanor, who works from home but takes spontaneous walks to cafes, swims at different pools, and explores new neighborhoods on weekend bike rides. In a clinical test, they might perform identically - same walking speed, same strength, same cardiovascular fitness. But their lived experiences of mobility, and consequently their quality of life, are worlds apart.

    Eleanor's varied, spontaneous movement patterns contribute to what researchers call "life-space mobility" - literally how far you venture from your home base. It's not just about physical capability; it's about engagement with the world, social connections, spontaneity, and joy. These are the things that make life feel worth living, yet they're nearly impossible to capture in a sterile clinical setting. ... continue reading the article
