We talk about where everything came from; the Big Bang, energy, matter, anti-matter - that kinda stuff. Then we talk about the shortcomings of creationist or alternative world views, science communication and the reasons people prefer such beliefs.

We talk about all kinds of waste from plastic bottles to wasting time and effort. It's sometimes hard to know how much you need of something and being more efficient isn't always a good thing. Just to keep things nice and complicated. It's possible we diverged from the topic here and there this week...

Is everything what it seems? Probably. This week we talk about why people conspiracy theories them so much. Michael repeatedly says "peeling back the curtain" which is not a real expression. Enjoy!

Lots of good advice from Ivanka about how to be in charge this week. Michael wonders if it's even possible for somebody to be a great leader.

Bit of a therapy session today; bit sweary. We talk about what to do when you've just got too much to do. And possibly talk shop a bit too much. At times.
