    The World Is Smarter Than You

    On today's show we talked about various and sundry ways that the world is a problem-solving machine. This place is amazing!

    Plants have a sense of self, and trick predators; Social competition might have been good for our brains; Bacteria are great at planning ahead; Doctors are creating video games for lazy eyes; There's a new sunspot supercomputer; Your brain is quite handy; and birds make use of toxic chemical for migration.

    Music on the show was by Unbalanced Wheel, Warp11, Monty Harper, and The Gifted Apes.

    Listen to it all here.
