Harry and Rory take a trip to the Internet, just like every episode, but this time it's for a new cinema release, the sequel to Wreck-It Ralph. As Ralph and Vanellope venture into the world wide web to save the Sugar Rush arcade machine from being switched off forever, will they discover the true meaning of friendship or just the true meaning of corporate cross-promotion? These themes are discussed in detail, with time to take in such tangents as the works of Clive Barker and William Gibson, Disney's Tank Girl, and Street Fighter: The Musical. This podcast contains SPOILERS for Ralph Breaks The Internet (2018).

In our last +1, we talked about Professor Harari’s two world maps—one before The Scientific Revolution that was all filled in (including areas they knew NOTHING about) and one after that had plenty of empty spaces (accounting for all they things they didn’t know).    Then we talked about YOUR maps. And, hopefully, we all added a good deal more empty space in our maps—especially that space outside our comfort zones that leads to the unknowable zone of our infinite potential.   Today I want to chat about the importance of running our own scientific experiments. Of course, admitting our ignorance is an absolutely essential first step to gaining new knowledge. But, then we’ve gotta throw on our lab coats and get to work!   Before we go there though, how about another quick little history lesson?    So, we all know that Christopher Columbus “discovered” the continent that became known as America. But... He refused to believe it. When he landed on the Bahamas he thought he had discovered islands en route to East Asia. As Professor Harari puts it: “He called the people he found there ‘Indians’ because he thought he had landed in the Indies—what we now call the East Indies or the Indonesian archipelago. Columbus stuck to this error for the rest of his life. The idea that he had discovered a completely unknown continent was inconceivable for him and for many of his generation.”   Then, get this: America was mistakenly named by map-maker Martin Waldseemüller who thought explorer Amerigo Vespucci discovered it. As Harari says, “There is poetic justice in the fact that a quarter of the world, and two of its seven continents, are named after a little-known Italian whose sole claim to fame is that he had the courage to say, ‘We don’t know.’”   Alright. Back to the Scientific Optimizing.   Today’s +1.    Let’s throw on our lab coats and goggles and grab our clipboards. It’s time to run some experiments.    In fact, let’s follow Ralph Waldo Emerson’s wisdom and make EVERYTHING an experiment.   btw: My hunch is you’re familiar with this quote: “All life is an experiment. The more experiments the better.”   The full passage is even better. As Ralph says: “Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.”   So, my dear Scientifically-Experimenting-Ignoramus-Optimizer friend: What experiments have YOU run lately?   Let’s measure our little (and big) tests as objectively as we can—making the connection between the mundane things like “When I eat that, my nose gets stuffy” and “When I’m online late at night I sleep poorly and that diminishes my energy and optimism which makes me grumpy which slows down my actualization” to... Whatever else you need to shine the light of ignorance on!   Then, of course, we need to take that data and APPLY it to our lives. As Harari points out, it’s APPLIED scientific knowledge that leads to power.    We can only gain new power by moving from *theory* to PRACTICE.    So, my dear Scientifically-Experimenting-Ignoramus-Optimizer friend: What data have you gotten from recent experiments and, most importantly, how will you apply that knowledge to your life TODAY?   Here’s to your lab coat and clipboard. And don’t forget the goggles.

Don't "Lose Yourself" if you're one of the last bus metas that the Thinker is after. As Ralph and Barry track down the last of the bus metas, Ralph is ready to end it all by killing Devoe. Barry talks him down from this dark way of thinking and they find the elusive Edwin Gauss, who has the ability to open up pocket dimensions. Right on their tale is Devoe's Samuroid who even stabs Caitlin right through the shoulder. She manages to recover with Killer Frost's help and they protect Gauss in STAR Labs. Harry has a nice little Sonic Scepter that could give them the upper hand on Devoe. But Joe gives Harry a talking to about his obvious addiction to the Thinking Cap. And he may have even listened to him a little. Soon the team discovers that Gauss could take them to Devoe's lair, but when they arrive they soon discover that it's all a trap! And the battle that follows affects everyone. For a brief moment the team had the upper hand, but Devoe soon takes it away with disastrous consequences. Jay and Josh try to ascend their mind to a higher plain on this week's episode of Scarlet Velocity: A Flash Podcast!
