Hi, thanks for listening.

In this episode, we discuss the game Stellaris. As games get more complex, is it possible to take game mechanic solutions and apply them to the real world problems of today and tomorrow? Perhaps, and this thought experiment aims to try.

After some Stellaris discussion, we discuss our favorite computer games.

Thanks for listening.

We give a shout out to the Random Mission Cast show before we get into RIPs. From there we get to brain trauma in Football to antibiotic resistant gonorrhea to mutant mice and gene editing. We finish the first segment with Australia's $328 million plan to eradicate fire ants.

After the break we get Polish resistance to the European Union, gender bias that leads to the minority being treated better than the majority. From there we get into the the first female Doctor Who and the ground that was already broken by women and african americans before social media made a big deal about the Doctor Who pick. Then we wind down the show with our Profile in Courage of Joseph Kittinger and surprise butt sex.

We next get into Captain America: The First Avenger at the 50 minute mark. Followed by The Avengers near the 59 minute mark. Then we get to Iron Man 3 at the 1 hour 18 minute mark. We end the show with Captain America: Winter Soldier at the 1 hour 28 minute mark.
