Buying a house, truck, or tool in 1960 was considered an investment. By 2026, you will be purchasing a subscription for a landfill. You are not crazy. The physical world around you is really becoming flimsier. From the framing of oatmeal wood (OSB) in million-dollar homes to the plastic water pump impellers in $80,000 trucks, we have uncovered a systemic shift in manufacturing designed to drain your wallet. Our investigation involves performing a forensic autopsy on the American economy. We expose the 'Material Treason' that replaced old-growth lumber with fast-food pine, copper pipes with rodent-prone plastic, and mechanical appliances with disposable circuit boards.

Why Some People Can 'Taste' Music
Have you ever listened to a song and felt like it had a flavor? For most of us, that’s just a figure of speech. For certain individuals, music has a distinct taste that can be sweet, bitter, creamy, or sharp.

In this video, we dive into the science and history behind the sensation of hearing music, how the brain blends sensory experiences, and why this is not a disorder but rather a fascinating variation of human perception. From 19th-century discoveries to modern brain imaging, you’ll learn how sound and flavor can collide in ways most of us never experience.
