Disc golf turns a simple flying disc into a surprisingly structured sport with rules, strategy, and plenty of trees waiting to ruin your plans.

Human language may have started with gestures, sounds, and early attempts to cooperate long before written history existed. This episode explores theories about how humans learned to communicate, how spoken language evolved alongside civilization, and why every culture developed its own unique way of speaking. Benjamin talks about the long history of humans trying to organize thoughts into something another person could actually understand. It turns out language is one of humanity’s greatest achievements, built mostly by people trying to explain where the food was or whose goat escaped again.

Can’t sleep? Great, let’s sort humanity into tidy little personality boxes and see how that goes.
