  • Which parts of Europe is that?

    Is it Germany where you can only buy shnitzel, sausage and cabbage in various different forms?

    Or Italy, where they’re so proud of their food it’s basically illegal to serve anything that isn’t Italian?

    Or France where spice and chilli is outlawed, only garlic and herbs allowed?

    It’s true that a lot of traditional British food is bland, but there are way more Chinese, Indian, Thai, mexican, Italian restaurants in any town in England than you’ll find anywhere in Europe.











  • Well there is a clear evolutionary advantage to being wary of ‘difference’ and you can see that behaviour in nearly every species. Yes, even fluffy puppy dogs.

    Human society is the one exception. We have beaten mother nature in the natural world (hunger, warmth and shelter) and now we are focussing on the primordial mother nature within us. Where we cant directly fix a physical or genetic weakness, we reprogramme ourselves (via society) to normalise and accept differences amongst us.

    Attitudes to Rudolph show how much we have changed in recent years.



  • Very well made and researched. Very engaging. My favourite is the Blueprint for Armageddon as it covers more recent history which I personally find more relatable, and therefore more powerful, than the other topics. I would love a WW2 series. His arguement is that it is already very well documented from other sources, but I think Dan could really do it justice. zooming in on a specific part of the conflict would be great.
