Three Body Thinking
by Zach Warring
An exploration into the mind and how it constructs what we call reality. Three body thinking is derived from the three body problem in physics and by extension is an acceptance of the chaotic nature of the Universe. It is an understanding that, given enough information, all of the Universe would be perfectly predictable but due to our inherently biased and constrained minds, we are often farther removed from objective reality than we wish to believe. That is, should objective reality exist at all... If you enjoy having your perspective challenged and a feeling of cognitive dissonance, this podcast is for you!

Episode 3 Humans Are Terrible With Numbers + World's First Trillionaire
The human brain is terrible at numbers because we evolved during times where large numbers were not necessary for survival. We traveled in packs of dozens or hundreds for most of our ancestry and hunted and gathered for our food. It isn't until the last few thousand years that we started to see and understand the world in a Global scale and that amount of time is nothing in the eyes of humanity. Our globalization is still freshly born, barely taking its first breath yet. Meanwhile, the world has its first trillionaire already... This episode talks about the disparity between Elon and literally everyone else on this planet, including the second richest person as well as how we as humans have done this to ourselves.

Zipper Merge
If you are like me, the Zipper Merge can feel like a fairly theatrical moment in your day. People honking, yelling, swerving, cutting fellow drivers off and of course winners and losers. In this episode we talk about who is right and wrong in zipper merges according to data, police and civil engineers as well as what the whole experience can teach about how humans think.ITRE Studying How Zipper Merges Reduce Congestion: https://itre.ncsu.edu/itre-studying-how-zipper-merges-reduce-congestion-at-sites-across-north-carolina/ The Zipper Merge: The Best Way to Merge in Traffic https://www.acg.aaa.com/connect/blogs/4c/auto/zipper-merge-keeps-traffic-moving

An Introduction to Three Body Thinking
Welcome to Three Body Thinking, a podcast where we explore the inner workings of the Universe. In this episode, I explain a little about what Three Body Thinking is and how I arrived at it as a philosophical worldview. My thoughts and views have been constructed, deconstructed and reconstructed countless times over the past decade and I am happy to share what I have learned along the way!
