Professor Dave Explains

With synapsids covered, it's time to move on to sauropsids. Let's start with reptiles. The classic clade Reptilia is actually paraphyletic, so let's dig into what we can call the non-avian reptiles first. Lizards and turtles and snakes! They're neat! Let's learn about them!

Remember a clown named Rob Stadler? It's ok if you don't, he's pretty irrelevant. But my good friends Erika and Dan wanted to roast his incompetence in a recent conversation with James Tour, so I agreed to join them. Since I have a lot of James Tour content planned for the very near future, as he's been mouthing off again lately, consider this a nice little warmup. Enjoy!

Why do different liquids boil at different temperatures? It has to do with how strongly the molecules interact with each other through intermolecular forces. Find out all the different ways, and how to use them to make predictions about matter!

We seem to be talking about AI a lot these days, as a society. Some issues are urgent right now, like the energy drain from huge data centers, impending unemployment surge, social media manipulation, and more. But that's not all! Did you know that superintelligent AI, which is currently under development, might murder all of us? Some people take this threat very seriously. Others do not. I personally think that we should take it quite seriously, and so does Andrea Miotti, CEO of ControlAI, a non-profit organization working towards achieving a global ban on superintelligent AI. Let's chat with Andrea about why the threat is credible and what we can do about it.

The most important thing you can do, contact your local lawmakers and give them a piece of your mind: https://controlai.com/take-action?source=profdave

Did you know that geometry was invented by molecules? It's true! Until the first stars went supernova and littered all the elements across the cosmos, everything was simply spheres, from protons to stars. But then, under cooler planetary conditions, atoms came together to form molecules, and in doing so, they created the first shapes the universe had ever seen. Learn about the different shapes that molecules can make!

Next up in this series is Bill Dembski, the idiot fraud behind the pseudoscientific concept of "specified information". In a nutshell, it says that DNA is so crazy like a super crazy code and all codes come from minds so god must have made DNA. He uses a bunch of technical jargon from information theory incorrectly to make it sound more intellectual than that, but it isn't. Let's debunk the hell out of this bullshit and also mock him for all of his other culture war crap and desperate apologetics, shall we?

Now that we know the basics regarding graphing algebraic functions, it's time to learn some tricks that will come in handy as we graph different kinds of functions. Specifically, there are terms inside functions that do very predictable things to graphs, and if we learn what these are, we can look at certain functions and quickly graph them without making any tables, even functions that look super difficult. Who doesn't like a shortcut? Check this out!
