I've gotten really interested in this topic of cows' effect on the environment lately. I remember watching Cowspiracy a while back and just being blown away by the numbers. I remember finishing watching that and just thinking "Oof, the planet is doomed."
Then I met Peter Ballerstedt a couple years back and...
Hey everyone,
It's been a while since I've posted. I've set it so no one will be charged for March. I want to catch back up and get you guys some decent posts. I certainly haven't forgotten about you guys, honestly I think up a lot of posts that would be cool in theory, but then they end up being way too big of a time ...
Hey everyone,
Here's the script for the red light video.
Looking forward to see any comments y'all have on this - have you tried it before? Did you notice any effects? What was your perception of red light before the video, and did it change?
Hi everyone,
Newsletter time.
I’ve been looking into Cannabidiol (CBD) a bit. It’s apparently been legal in Japan for a while now, but I just recently found out about it because this store near where I live is selling tinctures and vapes. I bought the vape and it seems to make me more chill - I think it turns ...

Hey everyone,
So here's my video on coffee with the script.
Feel free to post any questions or comments you might have, but I'd be really interested to hear some personal anecdotes!

Hey everyone, this is a graphic of the weaning approach I did for coffee. I've suspected I would feel better without coffee a couple times in the past but finally got around to getting off it and confirmed this suspicion. I might make a post or a video about the science of why I have less appetite overall without coffee, why ...

It's been a while so I thought I'd do something different for the newsletter. This is a long form post, about twice as long as my typical video script.

Hey everyone!
It's been a while but the new video is finally out.
If anyone has any comments on the editing please let me know - looking for way to improve and remove effects (that take a long time to do) that don't add anything.
Also I always end up spending a couple hours tweaking the music / audio levels...

Hey everyone,
I hope the Corona situation hasn't affected any of y'all too negatively. I was doing some research to make a video about that - something along the lines of "What could you do that might help and at the very least wouldn't cause any harm?" but decided against it and instead have be...

Hey Guys, thanks for being patient again - it's definitely not Wednesday... I'm gonna have to change "Five Bullet Wednesday" to three bullets or maybe four (so I can keep saying "FBW").

I held off getting adobe suite for a long time because I just didn’t have the time to learn it.

・Should foodstuffs that are not totally absorbed be factored in when considering food waste...
Book I'm reading---
·Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell
Half way through and it's a great book so far. So far it doesn't look like this book will help you better talk to strangers. In fact, it's about why we are naturally quite bad at making judgements of people based on our impressions....
Hey Y'all,
Happy New Year! Hope you enjoyed the holidays with good and hopefully weird food. I visited my friend in the Netherlands and we cooked a bunch of food for Christmas. I asked the Dutch people in the sauna if there were any "weird" traditional dishes like a sheep's head stuffed with rice and entrails or something ...
Hi Everyone,
One of y'all asked for a rebuttal to the video of 'Mic the Vegan' 's stating that I got the facts wrong in my recent video on bacon/processed meat.

Hey everyone,
This video took a lot out of me. As usual, I waaay over-researched for this as usual - have about 50 pages of unused notes left so I'll for sure need to make another video on this topic from a different perspective at some point.
There's a lot of interesting neuroscience that I wanted to include,...
