Jane Goodall’s journey to the Gombe Stream in 1960 forced us to redefine what makes us human, starting with tools. Her observation of chimps made us question our own relationship with our most primitive tools stretching back 3 million years. Through millennia, as our dependency on them grew, we remapped our brains to include them as extensions of ourselves. And what were once seen as objects critical to our own survival now threaten our existence... with the rise of machines, computers, and AI.

The US once had a king, James Strang, a Mormon cult leader who conquered Beaver Island, Michigan. With thousands of followers, he would rule his “Kingdom of God” with uncompromising control. Countless scandals, public floggings, theft, arson, betrayal, murder, and having his second wife disguise herself as his own nephew just to get away with polygamy… the King of Beaver Island had all the fixings of a bizarre and dangerous cult leader. He even became the first self-declared king elected in the US state government.

“I die.” — the final distress call from the SS Ourang Medan. After a series of disturbing Morse code messages, nearby ships responded to the SOS only to find the entire crew dead, strewn across the deck in peculiar positions. For a century, the demise of the ship has never been fully explained, but its tragic tale has been shared in different languages across the globe. From alien weaponry to top-secret nerve agents, theories run wild. So after 80 years, do we really know what happened to the Ourang Medan?
