00:08:13 "If school teachers were allowed to make their own curricula, there would be a distribution of quality with some really good and some really bad. If teachers were given a rigid curriculum to follow, it would probably be worse than the best, but better than the worst. Which of these two approaches is more beneficial for society?"

00:19:35 "Hi! None of my friends or family have cut out seed oils. How would you visit them for meals? I have severe digestive issues that force me to bring my own food, and my husband is starting to do the same; he wants to restrict his eating to actual food. Do you know an inoffensive way to avoid people's food-like meals? If we have to be conspicuous, I guess that's a wakeup call for them. Thanks, love you guys!"

00:37:46 "Follow-up on last Q&A on the evolution of crying?
Why do we sometimes cry when laughing?
Thanks, much love to you two!
PS: Bret, please do get your hypotheses out in the world before AI ;-)"

00:44:40 "Is every action you take intended to liberate the quality of existence for you and potentially others? Do all living systems share a fundamental value: existence—the capacity for experience? Could it be that humans share a basic objective: to liberate the quality of existence? Is it achieved in proportion to the quality and constructiveness of every interaction”?
Quality: duration and magnitude of value"

00:49:28 "Presume that around the time our ancestors reached anatomical modernity, they discovered that they suffered intractable and nearly universal motion sickness. (Perhaps by someone finding themselves floating on a log while in a body of water large enough to produce waves/swells.) How might today's world be different if this were the case?"

00:56:44 "I don't know if your glyphosate research has taken you there yet, but years ago I read an article by Stephanie Seneff on glyphosate's effect on collagen. Which made me weary of any pill casing for any medicine or supplement that I consider. I shudder to think of the influence of just that single point of toxicity on the human race given the amount of pills consumed every day.

01:01:38 "Hi Heather and Bret, My daughter just started college and I want to get her a water filter for her dorm room that filters out fluoride. I am wondering if you know what is the very best water filter to get her that will filter out fluoride. Do your boys have a water filter? Do you know if the Berkey filter is the best? She is in a dorm without a kitchen in the building so i am trying to visualize how she is going to fill whatever water filter I get her. She might have to buy jugs of water to fill it with. Thank you so much! And I wish your boys a great second year college!"

01:05:22 "Hi Heather and Bret. Hypothesis: new world plant foods including fruits will be potentially more problematic even for new world natives than old world plant foods including fruits."

01:08:54 "Hi, What are your thoughts about the Terrain theory as an alternative to the germ theory as the cause of disease?"
