Bravery and the Meaning of Life (KEW Episode 127)
I spent most of my pre-teen and teenage years terrified of people. I was very shy. I stayed at home on Friday and Saturday nights while I was in high school. And don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed my time. I played a lot of video games on my Commodore…
Nature Knows Best (Episode 123)
For the past twenty-some Episodes, I have been trying to figure out how to formulate my current question of interest. Generally, I am trying to make the case that Nature provides a wealth of information. Further, I am pleading with humankind to CONSULT nature when making decisions. Especially decisions that…
“High Achievers Use Bell Curves to Get Ahead of The Pack” Preview KEW Episode 98: The Normal Curve
You hated statistics, right? And probably didn’t care too much about math? That’s how most people are, anyway.

KEW Curiosity Interview Series 8: Bernhard Kutzler
It is my pleasure to introduce you to Bernhard Kutzler (www.bernhardkutzler/en/). After a lifelong career in mathematics, Bernhard went off the grid in a very huge way.
