Counterpoint

Age of distraction

Are we living through an age of distraction and if we are what cause it? How to have a difficult conversation and how to make a decision. 

We are electric

When talking about African history why do we use the term precolonial? The limits of libertarianism and why men are so unhappy right now. We are electric, so are plants and animals.

Censorship, cold, care and concrete

Has the censorship of words gone too far? Cold blooded animals are in trouble, can a fruit fly save them? What was life like for medieval babies? Concrete built the world and now its slowly destroying it. 

Rotting brains and Nannaria Swiftae

Does social media really rot your brain? Why is stopping the use of coal so difficult. Australian women scientists have had a rotten deal over the years and naming plants and animals after people, good idea or not? 

Power -in spines, water and people

What is optimistic nihilism and why is it all the rage? How do animals gain and keep power? Just how powerful is water and why are we rewilding invertebrates?
