Hi, I’m Mike — I run this channel.
I started Brain Snacks to explore big questions and complex topics, and to try explaining them in plain English. I’m not an expert in any of these subjects — just a curious person trying to make sense of the world.
Instead of diving super deep, we keep things high level and accessible. No jargon. Just a clean overview of how things work, with a bit of history, a touch of technical insight, and a look at the economic, social, and future implications of whatever we’re talking about.
This is my curiosity journey — and you’re welcome to come along.
