In the future, medical science may increase lifespan and longevity to the point of near-immortality, but what would be the effects of such technology on our civilization.

Brain-Computer Interfaces (Narration Only)

This episode begins our look at solutions to the Fermi Paradox - the question of why the Universe appears empty of intelligent life besides ourselves - by looking at some of the reasons why life may simply be very uncommon. Before we can contemplate what might be special about Earth, we first need to consider what might be special about our region of space, and even our epoch of time, or our Universe itself.

Dark Hall.

The moment in time stretches not forward nor backwards and as such it is both inaccessible and eternal. It is out destiny to pass these moments at mind-boggling speed never being able to fixate on a single one.

This is is a political song. The quality of a US-leader (ex by now!) is of concern to all Western countries. The shattered glass in the photo symbolizes the effect this president has on his relationships with many people and countries except perhaps Russia...

20/09/2020: I changed the melody of the song and a bit of the lyrics.
I think it's more punchy now.

The lyrics:
It is what it is(c) HWBerkhout, 09092020

The world in trouble, we can't sleep
Democracy erodes, we weep
A president more freakish everyday
Praising dictators. Thinks it's ok!

Chorus
Mayhem and madness cause this world to decline
It is what it is while he feels fine
He's indifferent as cities burn
Call it nasty, but it's not his concern  

Black lives matter, MeToo
Pandemics and Truth ends under his shoe
No empathy, calls all a hoax 
Lies on everything, Shatters hope

Economy a loss, environment in despair 
Millions without work, he doesn't care
This leader proved he cannot reign
He can't admit it. He's so vain

Chorus
Mayhem and madness cause this world to decline
It is what it is while he feels fine
He's indifferent as cities burn
Call it nasty, but it's not his concern

Solo

Chorus2
Let's prevent voting to be toyed 
It is what it is, Democracy can't be destroyed
We'll be indifferent as his empire burns
Call it nasty but it's not our concern

Mayhem and madness make his world decline
If it is what it is, we feel fine
Call this a dream? Then dream it all your time!
It is what it is, we feel fine!

Ohh
Is it what it is? Do we feel fine?
Come on, man. Wake up !

It Is What It Is

Nuclear Fission was once hailed as the solution to our power & energy needs, but has grown unpopular of fears of radiation, meltdowns, and radioactive waste. However, advances in science and reactor design may make atomic energy safer and more attractive in the future.

The Future Of Fission (Narration Only)

Swoon

one line written like an epitaph
on walls of the underground
her laugh echoing in third class
fall into desolation sound
follow her down down
down into her labyrinth
follow the line she unwinds
from her blue dress

in that room everybody swoons
could be your tomb everybody swoons

her waist an upside down valentine
blonde circuits blowing the car 
she sways you`re the nearest handy man
subway turns to a ramshackle rickshaw
follow her down down 
down into her labyrinth
follow the line she unwinds 
from her blue dress
              
in that room everybody swoons
down in her catacombs everybody swoons

welcome to her human museum
maybe you`re the first fireproof man
carpe-diem is that whst you`re thinking
dancing with an oriental fan
follow her down down 
down into her labyrinth
follow the line she unwinds 
from her blue dress

in that room everybody swoons
surrender to your doom everybody swoons

Dark Matter is both the most abundant and most mysterious substance in the Universe, what properties does it have and what technologies might we create to use it in the future?
