58 - Top 10 Manliest Quotes Sep 22, 2019

Show notes

Did you ever stop to wonder: “Hey, what was the manliest thing anyone ever said?” Well, you need wonder no more. The quotes in this list are the rare real-life equivalents of the one-liners we’ve all seen Arnie and Bruce Willis spout in action movies. A quote of this type might not always be the safest thing to say, or the most realistic, or even the wisest. But it is indeed the manliest.

57 - Top 10 Kickstarter Campaigns That ABUSED The System Sep 22, 2019

Show notes

Kickstarter and similar crowdfunding sites where users can pool their money together to help a struggling entrepreneur realize their dream without any help from the man are pretty popular these days. However, with only an estimated 9% of projects that get all the funding they’re asking for actually delivering on the promises they make to backers, the world of crowdfunding is rife with stories of dishonesty, shady dealings and just plain ol’ weirdness that genuinely make you wonder if your money would just be better off left in your PayPal account.

56 - Top 10 Jobs That Robots Will DOMINATE Within 20 Years Sep 21, 2019

Show notes

Oxford University recently released a study concluding that almost half of today’s jobs performed by humans will be taken over by robots and software automation within the next two decades. Bill Gates has warned us that “technology over time will reduce demand for jobs, particularly at the lower end of the skill set … 20 years from now, labor demand for lots of skill sets will be substantially lower. I don’t think people have that in their mental model.” It’s hard to imagine a world where half of today’s jobs have been transferred over to robots, but it’s coming. Here are some of the most likely candidates.

As Tolstoy once said, “War, what is it good for?” Well, if the past is an indicator, it seems to bring about something in human nature.

While some may be a little unusual and surprising, others can be life changing. Here are some inventions we have war to thank for.

53 - Top 10 Insane Things Governments Have Wasted Money On Sep 20, 2019

Show notes

Government spending is always topical. For every liberal decrying the paltry money begrudgingly dripped into the welfare state, there’s a libertarian begging for it to be reduced further. For every spectacularly wasteful government project, there’s some piece of essential infrastructure that benefits millions. Getting it right is tricky.

52 - Top 10 Innocents That Were Executed Sep 19, 2019

Ever since human life has existed, it’s safe to say that innocent people have been executed.

Still, thanks to our innate urge to explore and colonize new lands, there have been a handful of people who have looked for ways to make life in space possible.

From space exploration, to the smartphone, there isn’t one area of technology that hasn’t been influenced by the fantasy before it. Science fiction engages the imagination and compels us to dream and conceptualize the unimaginable. And though sometimes new inventions seem odd or unthinkable, they may surprise us in ways we’ve never thought of before.
