Wired for Life: Natures Secret Code
Manage episode 485692702 series 3331984
In this wandering-yet-profound episode, the hosts explore the interconnectedness of life, natural and artificial through stories about pollen, memes, IT nerds, elephants, strip mall economies, and gut bacteria. What starts as a walk through muffler-laced streets quickly dives into deep symbiosis: how trees may chemically communicate, how gut flora shapes our identity and choices, and how memes might be distracting us from climate collapse. Along the way, we meet the “Gigachad of IT nerds,” examine fecal transplants, explore breast milk vs. formula, and ask if free will is just another chemical illusion. It’s science, sarcasm, and social philosophy, all tangled up in data,both digital and biological.
