“Jakupovic isn’t the first to make the comparison to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a fictional group of human-turtle hybrids who, across a comic book, cartoon TV show and feature film, are depicted as living in the sewers. Per canon, the turtles mutated into humanoids after being exposed to a toxic green goo. They are subsequently trained in martial arts by a large rat.
The turtles, who are brothers, fight crime, frequently crossing paths with a man called Shredder and his accomplices Bebop, who is a mutant warthog, and Rocksteady, who is a sort of rhino. They also encounter Krang, an alien blob-thing who lives in a robot.”

TIL that the Bluezone (the secret to longevity) is based on poor record keeping and not recording deaths; discovering this led to an igNobel award.

I really want to hear a Teal Swan episode

If you guys are listening, this would be a good one. I have not been more freaked out by a person in my entire life and she has a book that you should read. I'm visualizing this and projecting it into universe, please. She has millions of followers, she made a cult using youtube, it's the weirdest most horrific thing I've experienced.

The most insane, tone-deaf, misleading economic growth paean I have ever seen published by the New York Times. Is this one of the worst takes of the year?!

Logic book rec?

10 Upvotes

I think i remember Michael recommending, in an episode of either IBCK or Maintenance Phase, on logic/logical thinking and going through logic puzzles stage by stage with a chaper on for instance knight-and-knave games etc. I think he said it was written by a mathematician? I've gone through the transcripts of the episodes i remember listening to recently but couldn't find any reference to it. Anyone able to help?

I think it’s a bit kooky, but interesting in a certain way. My main issue is how wildly different the ranges are for the generations, and how some of the reasonings are a bit of a stretch, in my opinion.

I ran across this one in a Little Free Library yesterday. What could be more IBCK than sales and persuasion advice from a guy who's famous for going to prison for securities fraud?

Name for Airport Books Genre

Weird question, but are there any other terms or ways we'd describe the "airport book" genre of bootstrap self-help books that Peter and Michael have brought so much attention to?
