KEW Acid Tests Questions. What Do We Want to Know?
Who Am I? Why Are We Here? What is My Purpose? Are We Living ‘Right’? Questions like this – the ‘big questions’ have been around since antiquity. It’s fun to think about when our brains reached a point in evolution where we started having luxury time. Because it’s a luxury…
KEW The Acid Test Assumptions. Using DNA and Nature to Advise the Big Questions (Episode 106)
Before embarking on an investigation any researcher worth their salt will state their assumptions.

KEW Episode 102: The Acid Test. Looking to Nature to Address Life’s Big Questions
I apologize that it has been nearly a month since my re-introduction post and Episode 101.

“Balance, Moderation, and Going All-In” KEW Episode 94: Homeostasis
Do you seek balance in your life, or do you go all-in on things you like? I used to think everyone wanted balance, and had a moderate approach to all things in order to maintain that balance across their varied interests. Given that there are only so many hours in…

Preview KEW Episode 86: Mind Control
Mind control – not in the sense of someone controlling YOUR mind (hello, YouTube) but in the sense of YOU ‘controlling’ your own mind. And I use the term control very loosely. I do not like the connotation that we rule over our minds like some overlord. I think Mind…
