Ep.281 - Energy Drinks, "Not Like Us" & Memories

In a week where:

1. TV Doctor Michael Mosley goes missing in Greek island Symi & found dead days later.
2. Israeli forces rescue four hostages from the central Gaza Strip at the expense of 210 Palestinian lives.
3. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is sworn in for a third term.
4. The European Parliamentary Elections go down.
5. Macron dissolves French parliament and calls snap election.

In Environment: (7:22) The term "Net-Zero" is - in my mind - an easy concept to grasp and should be at the top of our minds. But apparently it's impossible for financial reasons. Well, let us de-bullshit Net-Zero. (Article By Anupama Sen & Sam Fankhauser)

In Society: (20:32) I've had moments in my life where energy drinks were a lifesaver, cans of human jet fuel with varying taste profiles. But like most fun things, kids shouldn't have them. So how bad are energy drinks? (Article By David Cox)

In Music: (38:54) Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" is borderline a cultural phenomenon at this point and nothing confirms that notion than the way it's already getting played in American Sport events. (Article By Keith Murphy)

Lastly, In Life: (52:21) I've long believed that life is just a chain of memories with monotony in the middle. Some of us keep memories, some of us forget them. So how much is a memory worth? (Article By Mike Troxell)
