Talk of TodayThe Constructal Law with Prof. Adrian BejanThe constructal law is a law of physics that predicts natural design and its evolution in biology, geophysics, climate change, technology, social organization, evolutionary design and development, wealth and sustainability.
The law states that for a finite-size flow system to persist in time (to live) it must evolve such that it provides greater and greater access to the currents that flow through it.
If the second law of thermodynamics is seen as the irreversibility of energy flow, the constructal law describes just how these flows organise across time. The constructal says that as a flow system continues to evolve, its...

Talk of TodayAmerica's Freedom FarceThrough the lens of opportunity and freedom — what people can do and be in the world — most Americans are far less free than the rest of the Western world. A vast proportion of Americans are shackled by wage slavery, unable to pursue the American dream.

Talk of TodayThe Psychedelic DMT with Dr Rick StrassmanDMT(dimethyltryptamine - more like dimethyltripdaeffout) is a psychedelic substance that's found throughout nature and within the human body.
It's a substance that, after more scientific enquiry, could bridge the gap between science and spirituality due to the life-changing, and some would say, mystical experiences it can facilitate.
Dr Rick Strassman is an author, specialist in psychiatry and psychopharmacology. He was the first to legally administer psychedelics to people in the United States in decades, giving dozens of volunteers DMT numerous of times over the course of 5 years. His research has been regarded as kicking off the "psychedelic renaissance".
