Through discussions of self, particle physics, and social media, we explore the ideas of "you" and what ultimately makes an individual the person they are. Joined by my previous co-host, Nick Mutunga.

You were on your way home when you died. It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. In this episode, we discuss the short story "The Egg" by Andy Weir. Animated video by Kurzgesagt. Joined by my previous co-host, Nick Mutunga.

Language. The ultimate medium in which messages are conveyed for better or for worse. Entire empires built and razed through the power of language. Great stories and poems that will echo throughout eternity all from the articulation and the art form of words. Let's talk about language. Joined by my previous co-host, Nick Mutunga.

We discuss the challenging topic of race, how it relates to recent events, what race means, and statistical evidence of racial disparity. Joined by my previous co-host, Nick Mutunga.

What does it mean to think? To cogitate, to understand, and to perceive? What are the separating factors between being and not? Join us as we discuss thought. Joined by my previous co-host, Nick Mutunga.

Climate. The all-encompassing term that defines the state of the world around us. Climate Change. The idea that the global climate patterns are shifting. How can we as a society prevent catastrophic impacts on global climate? What will happen if we don't? The climate experiment. Joined by my previous co-host, Nick Mutunga.

The only thing we are promised in this life is the very cessation of it. Death - the coldest mistress. The most patient companion. Some fear it, some worship it. Today, we experiment with death. Joined by my previous co-host, Nick Mutunga.

Go to college. Graduate. Get a job. Work the 9 to 5. Make the money. Spend the money. This experiment is on why we enter the rat race, how we can leave it, and how does it impact our definition of success. Joined by my previous co-host, Nick Mutunga.

Are we free? Is our waking existence of free choice? Or is it an amalgamation of every event that has previously occurred? You see two doors, which do you choose? Decisions, decisions. Joined by my previous co-host, Nick Mutunga.

What is consciousness? How does it use perception to interact with reality? What is time and how do we interact with it? Is this all real or is it a simulation? Join us as we answer these questions in our final experience of Phase 1. Joined by my previous co-host, Nick Mutunga.

Data. The most ubiquitously distributed collection of information. It is all around us, and we see it every day. What we don't see how it has begun to make every decision for us, whether we recognize it or not. They know you better than you know yourself. How? Data. Welcome to Phase 2 of This is an Experiment.

As far we reach outwards, extending the tendrils of our species, so too do we invert inwards. The merging of humanity and its technology is inevitable. When the marriage occurs, do we lose our humanity? Or do we simply adapt?
