As promised at the beginning of this month, here is the first of two “Best of” selections from the Origins Podcast. I apologize that this hasn’t come out sooner, but the lazy days of August caught up with all of our production team. In any case, here, on the last day of August (in all US timezones), enjoy this collection of great clips from many of our exciting guests over the first two years of the podcast. These were all recorded before the pandemic and so we were able to travel to talk with my guests at their location, or bring them to our origins studio. As a result, they were all shot with 3 cameras, so the video record is better than one gets on zoom. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as we enjoyed putting this compilation together. This video version is available now to paid subscribers, and an audio version will be available to all subscribers. A KZhead version will be released later this week.
For those of you who are Origins veterans, we will give you a chance to relive the highlights from podcasts with some of the most remarkable scientists, artists, and writers on the planet. For those of you who are newer subscribers this will give you a chance to see some tidbits from some fascinating conversations with fascinating individuals, and perhaps encourage you to explore our backlist for the full discussions.
We will return with new content in September, and will release the second “Best Of” compilation sometime later in the fall. Once again, thanks for your support of Critical Mass, which remains an essential part of allowing The Origins Project Foundation to continue its programming.

The topics discussed on The Origins Podcast reflect the full range of the human experience - exploring science and culture in a way that seeks to entertain, educate, and inspire.
This compilation does make me want to re-listen to the podcast series all over again.
Thanks for doing this.
This is a great idea. Thank you!
Ah the joy of listening to two intelligent people having a conversation
It’s SO WELL KNOWN that you can ‘engineer’ perceived outcomes depending on the fine detail of the question. Like asking if a planet is more square, rectangular, triangular or circular . . . . Suggesting US might have limited number of states to 8, or the periodic table could have been limited to 8 is an exposure of his lunacy beyond any doubt!
Rich set of opinions. Good podcast.
Penn... Loving the sound of his own voice. And his own laugh. And talking over the interviewer.
So damn amazingly great!!!
new to your broader material, excellent work, thanks.
I love this!
Love you Lawrence and perhaps even super dense edits in ½ hour increments…🙏🏼👌🏼🖖🏼
I love that Kubrickian edit: from the Chimp to the Statue.
There is no one funnier than Rickie. I Love Him!
Fab compilation ❤❤
Fantastic compilation, so rich 👌👌👌
Brilliant
Ad the names of the speakers, please.
Rick Gevais Nohm Chomsky
Amazing...
When I heard Penn Gillette I did not expect Chomsky to be sitting there, that’s wild!
I would like to know the names of all the participants in the lead. THANKS
Respect to You. Appreciate you.
Thank you Lawrence, a great overview - I will go back and watch past interviews. Great idea to have highlight reels.
This was a fantastic compilation, but there seems to be an awful lot of very random edits where people are cut off mid-sentence. {:o:O:}
📍1:44:24
Properly good, so this was (is, if you're still watching it)
Lol amazing
Time stamps please.
A rich compilation
what about Sabine Fossenhelder ?
Joyce Kilmer was an American male World War I veteran fatality, OK name dropper Neil?!
I forgot Ricky was a vamp
Ha, classical electrodynamics from Jackson… second edition in your bookshelves
Don't forget that trees and plants love, need and use CO2. Which is only 0.04% of the atmosphere. And then there's those pesky volcanos, some of which are under the ocean. Besides, a warmer planet is actually a good thing. We can adapt where necessary.
Was dark matter and dark energy also created with the big bang or separate incidents
Thank you for posting! I appreciate your effort sin producing these videos for the public to watch. To gurantee a future for the children of today, the nukes and conventionals must go. reparations to the third world for the years of abuse by the WTO and its debt cycles should also be changed. Have a great day, and stay warm to each other. Find the joy of the day, and make that eternal.
Muslims owe reparations for their Evil slavery
Remember ALan guth's inflationary fudge factor may represent black holes emitting during the kosmos recreational event. The actual recursional sets that give rise to a Kosmos, and also superintelligences, can be found in the DNA, and also the formational processes of the planets and their associated automated creational processes. the black holes left after the light phase, w=ill last trillions of years....
Ricky Gervais: (2:52:34) "And it was like 2pm... in the morning." 🤔
So how conclusive was his ‘singular?’ Speako?
I do appreciate Tyson, but he was persistently interrupting his host, even when he was half way through questions for him, on his own show!
omg i had no clue CO2 stays in the air so long, nobody in my 48 years ever told me that.
I thought it’s plant food … making the planet greener than ever. Which one is true?
Why should anyone love that nothing is sacred? Honest question.
It's not clear how and why the whole universe was squeezed in the size of single atom. Where it got all its energy and how it could maintained equilibrium before it explodes.
Sounds like nonsense to me. It’s worse than the “Poof” theory… God thought of it then “Poof” we’re here. The whole “climate” agenda is a farce. I grew up in the 70’s and there was Spock, “Leonard Nimoy” doing a documentary in 1979 talking about the “looming ice age”… and the science was settled..doom was coming…now we’re headed for the end of the world because of global warming… every 10 years were given a catastrophe date…funny how we’re all still here.
2:45 no it did NOT!
This anthology is really great and it created a 4th cartesian plane of knowledge.
I was in the Tucson area seriously considering a move into the gated neighborhood Noam was referring to where Bannon went to get money for the Wall. Didn’t go see him, but we did another drive around the neighborhood afterwards and based on all the MAGA bumper stickers, signs and flags, it was obviously a non-starter.
4:55 Absolute nonsense.
Lawrence, you have a habit that impairs some of the fantastic interviews that are in here. Basically, you interject things like "OK" and "Yea" and "Uh hu" and one syllable words as if to reassure the person talking that you are listening. But the trouble is that many times you say these words when the interviewee has not yet communicated their idea, and so the effect is the reverse of making it sound like you are attentive. The effect is to make it seem like you are not listening at all. So try and see if you can restrain your one-syllable interjections or limit them to times when the speaker has actually delivered the point that they are trying to make. I found the interjections to be so disconcerting that I had to skip the entire interview that is still going at 1:46:00 so have a listen to that interview if you care to investigate this. Other than this suggestion, I will say that this effort to make a "best-of" is a resounding success.
Brian may ? You mean Brian cox
Spontaneous is a function of time, but there was no time ?_!~@!
whats this old woman saying?
Frogs are noisy and Salamaders are silent its evolution science.
People should study the Correlation between eruptions at Mt. Pinatubo June 1991, Montserrat June 1997, Popocatepeti, Masaya and Santiaguito June 2016 and Hunga Tonga Dec 2021 with California record flood events 1991-1992, 1997-1998, 2016-2017 and 2022-2023. People try to blame El Nino, dual action with man made input doesn't make sense provided other years are drought years. Furthermore Study El Chichónal March-April 1982 the biggest eruption in Mexico History 10 times Greater than Mt. Saint Hellens in Washington and California floods of 1982-1983. The largest Volcanoes seem to explode during Hot weather then the result is Rain and cooling the earth after hence the years 536, 540, 1815 and 1886.
Lies
Best of “Science and culture” prerequisites Be old as fuck tand style yourself in a way that belies your own integrity” I says a lot about the current generation.
Remember it's not the first time that Humans have appeared on the face of this planet. futhermore, one can find out that there are other planets with humans on them. in This galaxy.
