In this Deep Dive episode, our hosts discuss the 1783 Treaty of Paris, Ferdinand Porsche’s influence on automotive history, and the remarkable processing speed of the human brain.

  • 📜 The Treaty of Paris (1783): We explore how the treaty "formally ending the Revolutionary War and reshaping the map of a new nation" functions as a precise historical turning point — its cultural ripple effects, memorialization, and the duality of ending conflict while launching nation-building.
  • 🎂 Birthday spotlight on Ferdinand Porsche (1875): A focused look at Porsche’s engineering legacy — from designing the Volkswagen Beetle as an affordable, mass-produced car to seeding a lineage of high-performance sports cars, and how that systems-level approach reshaped mobility and industrial design. (Also noted: birthdays of Charlie Sheen and Garrett Hedlund.)
  • 💡 Fact of the day: Human brain processing speed — we discuss the claim that the brain can process information up to 120 meters per second, what that means for perception, memory, and split-second decisions, and why that fact feels both cinematic and reverent.
