Over the next 2 episodes we are looking at lead, what is it, what have been its toxic impacts on humans, what drove the 20th Century global poisoning and what are we finally doing about it. There is so much literature and so many studies have been done on this moment in our very recent history, that we are going to reference and just read for many of the publications as we feel these episodes are not for relooking at this, but just bring as many bits together so we can hopefully impress on you how destructive this has been to humans, humanity and how it still leaves a legacy with us today and the significant ways it has contributed to our current social erosion.

• The Constant: A History of Getting Things Wrong - The Constant
• The fatal attraction of lead - BBC News
• "American Poison: A Deadly Invention and the Woman Who Battled for Environmental Justice" by Daniel Stone (2025): Chronicles the story of Alice Hamilton, a public health activist, in her fight against Thomas Midgley Jr., the inventor of leaded gasoline. It explores the corporate machinations, scientific history, and the environmental impact of TEL.
• "Deceit and Denial: The Deadly Politics of Industrial Pollution" by Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner (2002): A detailed account of how the lead industry concealed evidence regarding the health hazards of tetraethyl lead and lead-based paint. It uses formerly secret industry documents to show how corporations pushed for the adoption of leaded gasoline despite knowing its toxicity.
• "Toxic Truth: A Scientist, a Doctor, and the Battle over Lead" by Lydia Denworth (2008): Focuses on the scientific and public battle to remove lead from gasoline and paint, highlighting the roles of Clair Patterson (who identified the extent of lead contamination) and Dr. Herbert Needleman.
• "Brush with Death: A Social History of Lead Poisoning" by Christian Warren (2001): Provides a comprehensive history of lead poisoning in the United States, examining the transition from early, acute occupational poisoning to the long-term, chronic, low-level exposure caused by tetraethyl lead in gasoline.
• "Ethyl: A History of the Corporation and the People Who Made It" by Joseph C. Robert (1983): A detailed, sometimes pro-industry, account of the Ethyl Corporation, the company formed to manufacture and market tetraethyl lead, tracking its history from the 1920s to the 1960s.
• "Lead Wars: The Politics of Science and the Fate of America's Children" by Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner (2013): Follows up on Deceit and Denial to examine the continuing, bitter, and contentious battles over lead contamination and the public health policies that failed to adequately protect children.
• "Prometheans in the Lab: Chemistry and the Making of the Modern World" by Sharon Bertsch McGrayne (2000): Features a chapter on Thomas Midgley Jr. and the invention of leaded gasoline, exploring the tension between its industrial utility and its environmental destructiveness.
• "Leaded: The Poisoning of Idaho's Silver Valley" by Michael Mix (2016): Documents the toxic history of industrial lead pollution and the regulatory struggles surrounding it.
• "The Secret History of Lead" by Jamie Lincoln Kitman (2000): Originally published in The Nation, this in-depth investigative article (often cited as a "secret history") brought widespread attention to the negligence of manufacturers in the development of leaded gas.

Today we are going to tell you a story about telling stories. Story telling is universal across all cultures, and as we will see, there are many repetitive sub themes we see constantly across all forms of story telling. And as you can probably guess, they’ve got something to do with humanity.

Today’s episode’s title couldn’t be more direct, A Greater Humanity. It’s just not a word, a thing that just exists. It’s something much, much more.

We are going to go a little philosophical on you and look deep inside ourselves so we can fully understand our individual connection to humanity, our contribution.

We also go into our social contributions and what should be required of us all. What builds trust and how we should position ourselves when trust is broken.

These are some of the most essential ingredients to strong, healthy, stable, safe and predictable societies. It’s one thing to create a standard, it’s another thing to set it!

In today's episode we put the spotlight on human rights and the right human behaviours. From how we interact face-to-face and in group environments, to how we make decisions for others and adhere to decisions being made for us. How to disagree and allow everyone to save face when interactions escalate and what can be done in a world of eroding social norms and behaviours.

There’s a very important reason why we are tackling these subjects today, but we’ll need to leave that for later.

Today we chat with Jordan Harbinger. Jordan was generous with his time and brought some more colour and light to his high school years and also to the conversations he had with James Fallon and Kevin Dutton which we have featured in previous episodes. We also go deeper into why psych/sociopathy should be seen as a medical condition and not a human trait, and we finish up with Jordan's take on the current state of humanity.

*This conversation was recorded in late January 2026.

Today we bring you the 2nd half of our conversation with the host of the podcast ‘Our Fake History’, Sebastian Major. Today we go a little deeper on how new media has always been a fertile ground for hoaxes, hucksters and pathological people. The impacts of releasing new tech without restraint and how AI has pulled the rug out of education across the board and potentially humanity. And finally we throw our hats in the ring on the future of artists and art in an AI world.

Today is a first, it’s our first of many better conversations we want to share with you, and Sebastian Major has been kind enough to give us some of his time, deep knowledge of our past and a little wisdom to help us with our collective future.

In today’s episode we are taking a risk, but we have faith that we are approaching this delicate subject with all the care and respect it needs. Today we are focusing on religions and where they fit in this thing we all call humanity, the collective us.

To set the stage we are going over the commonalities across religions and look back at how they have been part of our journey from the very start.

We question the importance of religions and look at the pro’s and con’s. We also explore places where we all intersect and propose a clue that may help us all with finding a way forward to a greater humanity.

In today’s episode we are going to pick up from where we left off in the early chapters of episode 3 ‘How the Fuck did we Get Here’.

We are going to go back to where it all began and have a closer look at the earliest of humans. Gain a better understanding of how it all kicked off and how intrinsic trust was to getting our first few uniquely human capabilities off the ground.

We’ll also have a look at some of the forever problems facing humans. When it does work, how do we scale humanity? We will keep it fairly light, so we’ll wrap it all up with looking at some of the cool stuff humans have achieved together.

To wrap up this initial 10-part series of monologues, we are taking a look at how bad this could all actually get. We look at how pathological decisions and behaviours can get past all our policies and regulations and inflict catastrophic consequences on humankind. So, no biggy really.

But don’t lose hope, we will end this all on a good note…kinda?
