1003: Interstellar Aftermath, ADHD Curiosity, & Dogs are People Too
About this episode
The episode discusses Susie's review of the film Interstellar, explores the uniqueness of the human chin, redefines ADHD as hypercuriosity, and debates the status of dogs in society amidst a New York dog poop problem.
We completed the bit of Susie not watching Interstellar, and now we're hearing Sooz Review of the film. Sarah is still emotionally recovering from it. It was emotional! So we're getting existential, philosophical, and galactic! We hear why humans are the only animals with chins, and it turns out it's kinda wacky. We find out why one scientist thinks ADHD is best defined as a hypercuriosity, and Sarah is a real big fan of this spin on it. There is a dog poop problem in New York, and it's causing a divide between people who see their dogs as equal to people vs. people who think they should be treated like animals, not humans. 00:00 - Susie's Emotional Interstellar Review and Philosophical Reflections 10:41 - Exploring the Evolutionary Mystery of the Unique Human Chin 24:24 - Redefining ADHD as a Persistent Pattern of Hypercuriosity 38:28 - The Debate: Are Dogs People or Animals?
