@hankgreen.bsky.social In your last video you remind us how bad we are at caring about others (be they someone elsewhere in the world or from coming generations).
But we do care about people we've never seen as long as they are part of our "tribe".
Why is there a limit? Why no "global tribe"?

Scientists discover higher levels of CO2 increase survival of viruses in the air and transmission risk
A new study has revealed for the first time the vital role carbon dioxide (CO2) plays in determining the lifespan of airborne viruses – namely SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Pretend play has an important role in both exploration and evaluation for children. Make-believe play is a creative medium, important to the development and practicing of those capacities.
Guess that might also be the case at older ages. Your excuse to join a TTRPG group. 🧪

In your CC series on religion we see fuzzy boundaries with commonalities between them.
Can we expect you to eventually talk about the basis of morality? Whether its:
- Totally subjective and independent
- Grounded in biology and game theory
- A bit of both :)
