Explore the ancient wonders of Egypt in this week's podcast episode as we delve into the historical marvels of this captivating country. Join us as we follow a passionate family of avid readers turned intrepid travellers on their journey through the sands of time. Embark on a mesmerizing adventure with our guests, Devika and Nikhil (a couple accompanied by their son on the trip), who have long been enchanted by the mystique of Egypt through the pages of fiction and historical novels. Their anticipation peaks as they set foot in the land of pharaohs, ready to unravel its secrets and immerse themselves in its rich tapestry of history. Their odyssey begins amidst the iconic pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, and Dahshur, standing as timeless monuments to Egypt's ancient civilization. From there, they venture to the coastal city of Alexandria, where Roman ruins whisper tales of bygone eras, adding another layer to Egypt's storied past. But the true essence of their journey unfolds as they embark on a train voyage across the Nile, traversing the heartland of ancient Egypt. Each stop along the way unveils a new chapter in history—the grand temples of Abu Simbel, Karnak, Edfu, and Kom Ombo bear witness to the grandeur of Egypt's pharaonic dynasties. The Valley of the Kings beckons with its labyrinthine tombs, while Luxor and Hatshepsut's temple stand as testaments to the enduring legacy of Egypt's rulers. As they trace the footsteps of pharaohs and gaze upon the enigmatic mummies and sacred tombs, our travellers are left spellbound by the magnitude of Egypt's historical heritage. And now, fuelled by their insatiable thirst for adventure, they ponder their next destination—one that promises to ignite their passion for history once more. Join us as we relive their extraordinary journey through the annals of time.

Link to original articleWelcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Enhancing intelligence by banging your head on the wall, published by Bezzi on December 13, 2023 on LessWrong. The Sudden Savant Syndrome is a rare phenomenon in which an otherwise normal person got some kind of brain injury and immediately develops a new skill. The linked article tells the story of a 40-years old guy who banged his head against a wall while swimming, and woke up with a huge talent for playing piano (relevant video). Now, I've spent 15 years in formal music training and I can ensure you that nobody can fake that kind of talent without spending years in actual piano practice. Here's the story of another guy who banged his head and become a math genius; you can find several other stories like that. And maybe most puzzling of all is this paper, describing a dozen cases of sudden savants who didn't even bang their head, and acquired instant skill without doing nothing in particular. I vaguely remember one sudden savant story being mentioned on a children book by Terry Deary, presented in his usual "haha, here's a funny trivia" way. But even as a child, I was pretty shocked to read that. Like, seriously? You could become a math genius just by banging your head on the wall in some very precise way? I don't think that Sudden Savant Syndrome is just a scam; there are too many documented cases and most kind of talent are very, very difficult to fake. But if true, why there are so surprisingly few studies on that? Why is no one spending billions of dollars to replicate it in a controlled way? This is a genuine question; I know very little about biology and neuroscience, but it surely sounds way easier than rewriting the genetic code of every neuron in the brain... Thanks for listening.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim this time is writer and podcaster Sophie Davies, who’s not stopping and never giving up on the hope of finding someone else who remembers short-lived pop sensation *allSTARS, ITV variety spectacular The All Star Impressions Show, InseKtorS, BBC Three sci-fi sitcom Clone, The Grott Street Gang by Terry Deary, and Matt Berry's religious opus AD/BC: A Rock Opera.

Andrew has been an Anglophile since his Nana and Papa's living in Great Britain meant they passed along bits of its influence, pop culture, and kids books and toys on to him. Specifically citing Terry Deary's Horrible Histories series as the spark, Bentley's interest in the monarchy knows few bounds. He can rattle them off in order, expound upon their specific legacies, and cite both inspirations and inaccuracies in pop culture created about monarchs from before and after the creation of the UK.  Notes: The Street Wizard's Apprentice webseries from Muscular Clown Competition Kitchen Kickstarter Attend the Tale of Danny Tanner, directed by Andrew
