I can second this podcast. It was really quite interesting, and I'd love to hear other biologists comment on it, especially those that were mentioned. I feel like I can't personally have a very accurate picture until then
Re:Challenging projects every programmer should try on Saturday December 14, 2019 @07:53PM (#21793594)
If you just feel the urge to learn things and improve your skills then that doesn't always require the project to have some practical utility. The person who will learn the most is the one who simply does both useful projects and projects for their own sake. Obviously with only so much time it makes sense to prioritize the useful projects, but just speaking generally here.

It is actually not that complex of an argument. Well, in the sense that it doesn't strike me as over intellectualized and/or over complicated.

It's also quite educational and interesting when he has good guests on. I don't know why people have to judge the entire podcast based on his worst guests when there is simply no other mainstream outlet, or at least one as big as Rogan's, that has nearly as many interesting scientists, philosophers, journalists, etc. on. Yes he also has idiots on. So what? The point is the entire world steps through that studio and people blanket generalize the podcast away whenever he has someone they disagree with on, which is a sad stance to take in my opinion.

Except he's actually had trans people like Eddie Izzard on and they got on just fine, so this is obviously wrong. He takes issue with trans females competing in female sports.

How familiar would you say you are with Pakistani culture? It really is not very hard to believe.
Well I suppose he set himself up for that one.
Genuinely asking: what is their motive behind this?

I also found 3Blue1Brown's (Grant Sanderson) YouTube series "Essence of Calculus" quite enjoyable.

"Math is the purest form of art humans can produce."

Curious, what makes you say this? Not that I strictly disagree.
