The Kon-Tiki expedition, led by Norwegian explorer and ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl, reached Raroia in the Tuamotu Archipelag near Tahiti, on 7th August, 1947. The 45-foot-long balsa wood raft, with a five-man crew, had completed a 4,300-mile, 101-day journey from Peru.  Heyerdahl wanted to prove his (now discredited) theory that prehistoric South Americans could have colonized the Polynesian islands by drifting on ocean currents. The Kon-Tiki was made of indigenous materials and designed to resemble rafts of early South American Indians, although the expedition carried some modern equipment, such as a radio, watches, charts, sextant, and metal knives. While crossing the Pacific, the sailors encountered storms, sharks and whales. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why Heyerdahl's hypothesis of a South American origin of the Polynesian peoples is rejected today; marvel at his bold use of eye-catching graphic design; and expose how the crew's food rations weren't all that they seemed… Further Reading: • ‘New proof for Kon-Tiki theory' (The Guardian, 1953): https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2018/may/18/new-kon-tiki-proof-expedition-archive-1953 • ‘How the Voyage of the Kon-Tiki Misled the World About Navigating the Pacific' (Smithsonian Magazine, 2014): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/how-voyage-kon-tiki-misled-world-about-navigating-pacific-180952478/ • ‘KonTiki (short)' (The Kon-Tiki Museum, 1951):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFcW-dCvO2A This episode first aired in 2021 Love the show?

"The Great Hypothesis" explores the fundamental question of existence and origins, arguing that there must be a single source for all life and reality. It posits that without acknowledging the existence of God, one cannot logically explain the emergence of reality or maintain a coherent moral worldview. The author contrasts the belief in God with atheistic and legalistic perspectives, emphasizing that without God, society is left with the law of the jungle, where might makes right. The church provides a moral framework and community for believers, while non-believers struggle with distrust and lack of common purpose.

Why The One Reality Hypothesis Fails is offered as an explanation why science has become divided between a set of data driven physical or hard sciences and a set of narrative driven social or soft sciences that few consider part of the scientific community anymore.The problem is not the sciences, per se, so much as the reality these fields represent. The idea that reality is all one piece and all science studies the same substance, regardless of if they are a material science or part of the humanities. The reader can argue in defense of the One Reality Hypothesis, if they wish, but it is easily proved that an alternative hypothesis produces better results. The choice is between a reality that is logically incoherent and restricted to highly artificial environments, or a reality that hardens the soft science, and produces results in an environment that is far more humane.

Are the AI models you use today imposters?Please watch the intro video we did before this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1q6Hhz0MAgIn this episode, hosts Dr. Tim Scarfe and Dr. Duggar are joined by AI researcher Prof. Kenneth Stanley and MIT PhD student Akash Kumar to discuss their fascinating paper, "Questioning Representational Optimism in Deep Learning."Imagine you ask two people to draw a perfect skull. One is a brilliant artist who understands anatomy, the other is a machine that just traces the image. Both drawings look identical, but the artist understands what a skull is—they know where the mouth is, how the jaw works, and that it's symmetrical. The machine just has a tangled mess of lines that happens to form the right picture.An AI with an elegant representation, has the building blocks to generate truly new ideas.The Path Is the Goal: As Kenneth Stanley puts it, "it matters not just where you get, but how you got there". Two students can ace a math test, but the one who truly understands the concepts—instead of just memorizing formulas—is the one who will go on to make new discoveries.The show is a mixture of 3 separate recordings we have done, the original Patreon warmup with Tim/Kenneth, the Tim/Keith "Steakhouse" recorded after the main interview, then the main interview with Kenneth/Akarsh/Keith/Tim. Feel free to skip around. We had to edit this in a rush as we are travelling next week but it's reasonably cleaned up.

What if today's incredible AI is just a brilliant "impostor"? This episode features host Dr. Tim Scarfe in conversation with guests Prof. Kenneth Stanley (ex-OpenAI), Dr. Keith Duggar (MIT), and Arkash Kumar (MIT).While AI today produces amazing results on the surface, its internal understanding is a complete mess, described as "total spaghetti" [00:00:49]. This is because it's trained with a brute-force method (SGD) that's like building a sandcastle: it looks right from a distance, but has no real structure holding it together [00:01:45].To explain the difference, Keith Duggar shares a great analogy about his high school physics classes [00:03:18]. One class was about memorizing lots of formulas for specific situations (like the "impostor" AI). The other used calculus to derive the answers from a deeper understanding, which was much easier and more powerful. This is the core difference: one method memorizes, the other truly understands.The episode then introduces a different, more powerful way to build AI, based on Kenneth Stanley's old experiment, "Picbreeder" [00:04:45]. This method creates AI with a shockingly clean and intuitive internal model of the world. For example, it might develop a model of a skull where it understands the "mouth" as a separate component it can open and close, without ever being explicitly trained on that action [00:06:15]. This deep understanding emerges bottom-up, without massive datasets.The secret is to abandon a fixed goal and embrace "deception" [00:08:42]—the idea that the stepping stones to a great discovery often don't look anything like the final result. Instead of optimizing for a target, the AI is built through an open-ended process of exploring what's "interesting" [00:09:15]. This creates a more flexible and adaptable foundation, a bit like how evolvability wins out in nature [00:10:30].The show concludes by arguing that this choice matters immensely. The "impostor" path may be hitting a wall, requiring insane amounts of money and energy for progress and failing to deliver true creativity or continual learning [00:13:00]. The ultimate message is a call to not put all our eggs in one basket [00:14:25]. We should explore these open-ended, creative paths to discover a more genuine form of intelligence, which may be found where we least expect it.REFS:Questioning Representational Optimism in Deep Learning:The Fractured Entangled Representation HypothesisAkarsh Kumar, Jeff Clune, Joel Lehman, Kenneth O.

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

Et si vivre avec une personne dépressive pouvait, au fil du temps, vous rendre vulnérable à votre tour ? C'est la question soulevée par une étude étonnante publiée dans la revue Exploratory Research and Hypothesis in Medicine. Les chercheurs s'y sont intéressés à un acteur discret mais essentiel de notre bien-être mental : notre microbiote intestinal.Le microbiote, c'est cet écosystème de milliards de bactéries qui peuplent notre tube digestif. Il influence notre digestion, notre immunité, et… notre humeur. Depuis quelques années, les scientifiques parlent même d'un "axe intestin-cerveau", révélant que nos intestins jouent un rôle dans la régulation du stress, de l'anxiété et des troubles dépressifs.L'étude s'est penchée sur des couples vivant ensemble depuis plus de six mois. Les chercheurs ont découvert que, progressivement, les partenaires en couple voyaient leur microbiote intestinal devenir de plus en plus semblable. Comment ? Par des habitudes partagées : alimentation, rythme de vie, contact physique, échanges de salive, ou même exposition aux mêmes environnements bactériens. Résultat : le microbiote de l'un influence celui de l'autre.Ce qui interpelle, c'est que ce processus peut aussi favoriser la transmission de déséquilibres. Si l'un des deux souffre de troubles anxieux ou dépressifs, son microbiote peut être altéré — on parle alors de "dysbiose". Et en partageant ce microbiote perturbé, le partenaire sain pourrait, lui aussi, voir apparaître des symptômes liés à ces troubles. Autrement dit, la dépression pourrait avoir une dimension… microbiologique.Il ne s'agit pas ici de dire que la dépression est "contagieuse" au sens classique du terme, mais plutôt que le terrain biologique peut se synchroniser entre deux partenaires. Et cette synchronisation peut inclure des fragilités. Cela vient compléter ce que l'on savait déjà sur l'impact psychologique du quotidien partagé avec une personne en souffrance : fatigue mentale, empathie épuisée, repli sur soi. Mais ici, c'est le corps lui-même qui s'ajuste, parfois au détriment de l'équilibre mental.Ce constat ouvre de nouvelles pistes en santé mentale : soigner la dépression dans un couple pourrait aussi passer par une approche conjointe, y compris au niveau intestinal. Et cela rappelle que nos relations les plus intimes façonnent, bien plus qu'on ne l'imagine, notre santé physique et mentale.Une simple vie commune pourrait donc modifier, en profondeur, ce qui se joue dans nos entrailles… et dans notre esprit.

Once upon a time a young lady had an idea. An idea that two popular actors are deeply similar in their acting, but one of them is taken way more seriously.That's it for that voice, we talk a lot about that and about the Nic Cage and Keanu movies we watched. We also visit the cage for another round of "Caleb almost did do get a degree for this"

He gathers his courage, walks in, and soon giggles, plays games, and celebrates with all his friends.The best part? A very special guest scientist stops by to show the kids amazing science tricks based on the weather! She teaches them how fun it is to ask questions and explore the world around them. This episode is full of birthday cheer, friendship, bravery, and a little bit of science magic! So grab your safety goggles, Kiddywinks—let's party like a scientist!

Could intelligence be less a product of evolution and more a signal embedded in matter itself - resonating through birds, mammals, and octopuses alike? If consciousness isn't confined to biology, but seeded, recalled, or received, are we merely one expression among many in a planetary network designed to awaken?​​​If you are having a mental health crisis and need immediate help, please go to ​​https://troubledminds.org/help/ and call somebody right now.

Dear RLR Family,We bring you RLR 179 where we discuss the complex subject of the HYPOTHESIS of the GENEALOGICAL ADAM and  EVE.Genealogical ancestry is not genetic ancestry, and that genealogical ancestry is more important in establishing that Adam and Eve could have been ancestors to the entire human race alive today and that Adam and Eve could have lived a mere 6,000 years ago.Thus, the traditional de novo account of the creation of Adam and Eve could have occurred alongside evolution of human descent. This leaves intact the Genesis account and allows room for evolutionary science. The Genealogical Hypothesis Summarized1)        Adam and Eve could have lived as recently as 6,000 years agio in the Middle East.2)        Adam and Eve are the genealogical ancestors of the entire human race as it exists today.3)        Adam and Eve were created de novo by an act of God from dust and Adam's rib.4)        There was interbreeding between the lines of Adam and Eve and those that were found                outside of the Garden.5)        The main findings of evolutionary science can be reconciled with traditional readings of               Genesis where those outside of the Garden would have shared common descent with the great           apes, and humans are descended not from an original human couple, but from a larger           population that included these people from outside of the Garden.

What happens when the product science principles are applied to a conference organization?  You get Product Collective, now called Mind The Product by Pendo.io. Through events like INDUSTRY: The Product Conference, along with resources such as a member hub and over 100 hours of past conference videos, product professionals across the globe find community, learn, and improve their work.  Rather than AI being the end-all-be-all answer, Mike hopes that AI will be used to integrate both qualitative insights from empathetic customer interactions and quantitative data. This evidence-based approach involves testing strategies through small experiments, learning from the outcomes, and aligning decisions with core values and customer outcomes for incremental growth.  Mike also reveals insights from his experience working with Bob Moesta on jobs-to-be-done interviews, highlighting the value of going deep in customer research to uncover valuable insights, and in his case, understand attendees' needs and improve the conference and/or community experience.  Takeaways include asking deeper questions, spending more time gathering that qualitative feedback so that you can go deeper, being curiously observant of jobs-to-be-done, and finding various modalities in which to gather continuous feedback from the “friendlies” and those who are more hesitant to capture a complete picture.  Resources Follow Mike Belsito on LinkedIn Explore the free resources and upcoming events at mindtheproduct.com Listen to Mike on Rocketship.fm Follow Holly on LinkedIn Visit the Product Science Group website Explore Product Science Workshops and Courses  Quotes from Mike Belsito (00:06:52) "The job that people hire your product for, you know, if you want to think of it, in jobs to be done context, it may not be what you think it is." - Mike Belsito (00:21:29) "Qualitative data is data. So being data driven doesn't mean that we're relying only on the reports and the analytics. It's not an either or. It's not quantitative versus qualitative. It's using them both together." - Mike Belsito (00:28:15) "It's not just what you've learned, but it's these relationships that are a real value to you." - Mike Belsito Lab Notes Lab Note 607.1: Depth is where you find Differentiation. Lab Note 607.2: Start with observation of the jobs-to-be-done. Lab Note 607.3: Use different modalities to get feedback from a range of people.

However, I really wanted to have more influence over the direction of the company, not just the direction of our products." - Ha Nguyen (00:09:39) "Be incredibly good at what you do. Startups give you the opportunity to have expanded scope, work for a great boss who's supportive of your career. Don't be afraid to ask. And then finally, if. If they're not going to support you and what you need, then you might need to make the decision to walk." - Ha Nguyen (00:28:47) "When you build the network and people have seen that you have been putting the hours in to build what I call the labor of love projects, it, it's just easier because when you need to reach out to folks for anything they want to help you, they'll pick up the phone and they'll help you." - Ha Nguyen Lab Notes:  Lab Note 605.1: As a company grows, you must intentionally create structure for continuous product discovery. (00:31:46) Lab Note 605.2: Raise your hand to access new opportunities. (00:33:03) Lab Note 605.3: There are varied perspectives on work-life balance and startup life. (00:34:07) Lab Note 605.4: Fractional product work is a great fit for creative people who thrive in ambiguity, but it's not accessible or right for everyone. (00:36:38) Lab Note 605.5: Invest in your network throughout your career and it will pay dividends.
