Summary

Six Degrees had so many good articles this time around, we decided to record TWO episodes at once!  This first of the two has a more positive bent, and is the "nature" side of "nature vs. nurture" if you will (and Reno will).  Learn why elephants get cancer less often than other mammals, how producer Mike would deal with a robot begging for its life, and oh--just so things don't get too serious, Six Degrees also discusses the culinary experiences that ensue following an amputation.     https://psmag.com/environment/the-planet-now-has-more-trees-than-it-did-35-years-ago   https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/cancer-one-worry-elephants-forget-180969993/   https://www.npr.org/2018/09/11/646724291/a-massive-floating-boom-is-supposed-to-clean-up-the-pacific-can-it-work   https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/2/17642868/robots-turn-off-beg-not-to-empathy-media-equation   https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/06/would-a-world-without-work-be-so-bad/488711/?utm_source=facebook&utm_content=edit-promo&utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_medium=social&utm_term=2018-07-25T16%3A25%3A07   https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/09/12/645221590/blind-grocery-shoppers-access-second-set-of-eyes-through-app-at-wegmans   https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/gykmn7/legal-ethical-cannibalism-human-meat-tacos-reddit-wtf?utm_source=vicefbus
