This is my admittedly half-baked theory about evolution and entropy. I don't think I'm wrong though, and maybe by the end of this episode you'll agree with me.

Among other things, you will find talk of:

• Tuning parameters

• Iterated evolution

• Missing entropy

• Turning into crabs

• Hairless cats

• Chocolate cake

• Flat earth theory

• Panspermia

• Monarch butterflies

• The Drake equation

• Simulation theory

• and Tardigrades (because of course)
