We learn from Tyler Branston about philosophy and the importance of critical thinking. We learn about what philosophy is, what a philosopher does, why the values of society will create destructive artificial intelligence, and why thinking like a philosopher would make the world a better place. And remember, no monkeys were harmed in the making of this podcast. The last two years have also taught us that the insane barrier to higher learning (e.g., tuition costs) is a disservice to humanity. In 2022, we want to spend several episodes a year talking with experts and learning from them. Afterwards, we will listen in on the monkeys think about what the expert shared. This is the first episode of our new mission - let everyone onto the playground.

This month on the Infinite Monkeys cast, we chat with friends from BC whales. We not only talk about what BC whales does as an organization, but about why whales are so important to our ecosystem and - surprisingly - economy? This chat was thoroughly enjoyable for us, and we hope you learn something, as we sure did.

After chatting with Tao, the monkeys ponder why it takes so long to get an enjoyable job, and why this oppressive model builds a house of cards rather than a solid, reinforced structure. Will this one day be the end of science or the beginning of the next generation?

A conversation with Tao Gaede about his journey to becoming a mathematician and how he discovered at an older age that he wants to do math for a living. Tyler does not understand math, so he tries to figure out what a mathematician actually does. More importantly, why would someone find math fascinating? In the end, the two realize that math and science are not all that different.

A lot has happened in the last 2 years. Tyler is now a doctor and we have all had to deal with the global plague. Tyler, apparently motivated by the bizarre world we now live in, now grows brain tissue from his own blood in the name of science. What does that mean? Why does he do this? Well, you will just have to listen. The last two years have also taught us that the insane barrier to higher learning (e.g., tuition costs) is a disservice to humanity. In 2022, we want to spend several episodes a year talking with experts and learning from them. Afterwards, we will listen in on the monkeys think about what the expert shared.

The bloody weather again. Gunnar cooks professionally as meat engine with guanciale.  Tyler gets ignored.  Chefs are sleezy used car salesmen who add value to meats by cutting them to pieces like the property brothers on love it or list it.  MAGNITUDINALLY BETTER cooking tips with Gunnar who HATES tomatoes. The GOD frequency and PURE music.  Gunnar teaches us about Buddhist and christian music traditions.  Healing crystal music and religious discrimination.  Tyler still gets ignored, and 6 dimensional music. Exciting technical difficulty that made it into the final cut where Tao artfully, clearly, and concisely expounds SECRET music EXPERT insights. Tyler stops being ignored and becomes a BAKER to avoid declaring bankruptcy.  Sourdough bread should KILL US ALL. Tao hates nice things and is an unknowing car bigot. Scientist chef, Gunnar Leitner, suggests eating moldy bread, and instructs the monkeys on the health benefits of botulism. Fromage connoisseur tip EXPLAINED: Slaughtering baby goats is a reliable means to finding quality cheeses. Rotten cabbage evolutionary innovations > economically viable electric cars and controlled fusion. Gunnar's SCIENTIFIC dog cereal with 20% rotten science milk TM.  Buy his upcoming SCIENTIFIC cookbook to learn more. Ducks die from bread, but Tyler won't go bankrupt because ducks don't BUY bread, human's do, but humans put the bread in the milk to get it soggy for 3 hours - PARISIAN dog le chien oui/non bibliothèque bonjour. AKA Feeding your dogs EXPLAINED: put a smile on your dog's face, feed it science milk bread in cereal. GODS HAVE NO EMOTION, but Gunnar's dog is a genuinely happy boy.

ESSENTIAL CORONAVIRUS MISINFORMATION.  CORONAVIRUS specs into evolutionary lethality skill tree.  ETHANOL YOUR DRIVEWAY.  Dragonball Z Canadian public health with PhD twitter follower, Tyler J. Wenzel.  Tao uses morbid mathematics to show that everyone will die.  Gunnar discusses Venusian aerial civil engineering, "not that hard."  Space orgies. Space economics of oxygen and Nickolas Cage smuggling.  STONKS.  Butt face genetics and 3D printed blank slate face surgery.  HELTH.  Visionary Ruso-canine amputation studies in videogame decapitation easter eggs.  CERUBUS.  China CRISPR Area 51 charge with Alex Jones.  EXTRATRESTIEL.

Today on the podcast, the monkeys chat coronavirus and colonizing space. Tao tells us about some neat space science and how he thinks an interplanetary trade network would work and Gunnar applies some Nick Cage wisdom.

The robots tried to sabotage our transmission this week, but we hope you enjoy this week’s cast despite the slightly garbled audio. This week we discuss our entire gamut of feelings: (1) Tyler has a stuttering issue, (2) scientists should not try discover what makes humans universally happy, and (3) everything is art.

After some ice-breaking conversation, Tyler jumps into a spontaneous social experiment with the other monkeys. A series of questions to show how subconsciously reluctant they are to share what makes them feel really good about themselves. If you want to follow along, pause after each question, and then messages us your experience. We apologize for the audio quality of Tao; we had some technical malfunctions. However, the experiment in the last half of this podcast was too good to hide away.

This week is a smorgasbord of topics, jam packed with fun science and questionably great ideas. What would the criminal justice system look like in an era of time travel? How can YOU make a billion dollars right now?! WHY ARE VAPES KILLING THE CHILDREN? All these questions and more will be answered by three highly intelligent monkeys.

This week, the monkeys converse about bees, farming and most importantly - that money should not be hoarded. Go out, enjoy your life, and episode 33 of the infinite monkeys podcast!

First, sorry for the technical difficulties! We had some website issues which prevented us from being able to upload podcasts. The experiment is now fixed, and great news - Gunnar is back from the alternative dimension! Tao, Tyler and Gunnar sit down and get Freudian with their dreams.

Tao and Tyler spend an hour remembering their dearest friend, Gunnar Leitner. We tell stories about some of the greatest acts of kindness we've witnessed Gunnar complete. He is truly, a great monkey.

A short and sweet TnT podcast. Tao and Tyler dive into a comparison between generalists and experts. Everyone talks about how they want to be the great in something (i.e. an expert), but does that really give them their best life?

We constantly feel like there is not enough time in a day to get important tasks done. However, are all those tasks really that important? Or are our thoughts getting in the way of being productive and happy with ourselves? And, if you have your own tricks, please share them with us!

Tyler and Tao talk about what matters in life, and discuss how they came to understand what matters to them. Everyone is different, so what in life matters to you?

Tyler and Gunnar talk about friendship and the requirements that it takes to build meaningful relationships. What do you think that it takes to have friendships that aren’t just superficial?

Today, the monkeys talk conventions and their utility. What is a convention and conventionalism? Is it simply a set of rules or some other thing that society expects us to do? What does it mean to live conventionally? Is a conventional life a good thing? Do we even really agree on most conventions? Why is the Golden Rule not conventional? How can we break free from conventionalism and would society still be able to function?

Today, we got a dynamite podcast. Gunnar is out trying to figure out the human tradition of Thanksgiving. This leaves Tao and Tyler to talk about their identity, and how to find your own identity. We dive into the following questions: Who am I? Is it OK to not know who I am? Do mental health issues arise from not being able to answer these questions? If so, how can we begin to find out who we are?
