  • Making Fun of John Lennox With Planet Peterson

    There are a few apologists that creationists regularly reference as being undebunkable super mega geniuses. As it turns out they're always just well-spoken men of middling intelligence wearing suits that say objectively wrong things. One such figure is John Lennox. Planet Peterson invited me onto his channel to react to a clip of him in conversation with Alex O'Connor, and he said a lot of objectively dumb and wrong things. Watch me and PP go poopoo on Lennox for an hour.

    Planet Peterson also makes great debunking content, check out his channel and subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@planetpeterson2824

  • Italian Phonetics Part 3: More Consonant Sounds, S and Z, Double Consonants

    We hit most of the consonant sounds, but let's wrap things up by looking at the tricky letters S and Z, as well as the double consonants, which will help you sound very authentic!

    It's time for some more Latin vocabulary! Let's learn how to name all the articles of clothing that the Romans wore, for common citizens as well as elites and soldiers. This will give us a better understanding of Ancient Roman culture as well!

  • Italian Phonetics Part 4: Accents and Stresses

    Some languages have funny little marks and accents. Not Italian! Once in a while there is an accent to tell us to stress the last syllable in a word, but most words won't have any such marks. Speaking of stresses, it can be confusing to know which syllable in a word to stress, so let's hit some rules so we know what to do when words get long!

  • Addition and Subtraction of Fractions

    We know about addition and subtraction, we know about fractions, so let's learn to add and subtract fractions! This is now possible because we know how to find the least common multiple of two numbers, which we will need to do to be able to get the denominators to agree. It's easy!

  • Matt Ridley is Lying to You About Climate Change

    Go to https://consensus.app/ for a new way to search through primary scientific literature!

    It's finally time to tackle climate change denial. There are so many frauds peddling disinformation in this realm, so who should we tackle? The answer is Matt Ridley. He is the poster boy for "lukewarmism", which is a version of climate change denial that accepts some science surrounding this topic but denies other science, which makes it very dangerous, since it appears rational and science-based to the untrained ear. It's kind of like intelligent design, if young earth creationism is equivalent to an outright denial that global warming is happening at all. Matt is a super rich coal man who peddles a well-crafted script of lies regarding anthropogenic global warming, the amount of warming that has occurred, the amount that is projected to occur, and how dangerous it is. Let's get way into the weeds and debunk all of his claims as thoroughly as humanly possible, so that everyone will be equipped to combat this propaganda wherever they find it.

  • Practice Problem: The Motorcycle Daredevil

    Your buddy Max is always attempting crazy stunts! Remember that time, he dove off the tree into the kiddie pool? Well this time he's going to take his motorcycle over a brick wall. Since you know all about projectile motion, and you know all the measurements and values associated with the jump, you decide to do a little physics to figure out whether Max can pull it off. Will he make it? Let's find out!

  • Special Lines in Triangles: Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes

    What's a median? Or an altitude? They are special lines you can make with a triangle. And what's a circumcenter, or a centroid, or an orthocenter? These are some special points that relate to triangles. Not every geometry course covers this terminology, but it's super interesting, so take a look!
