Garden of Thought

Professor Gunes Unuvar of the University of Exeter joins the Garden to discuss resource extraction in space. Unuvar is also Legal Advisor to the Moon Village Association; Managing Editor of the Journal of World Investment & Trade; and a recognized authority in Space law, policy and international economic law. We discuss the framework of law that controls these areas. We discuss the roles of government(s) and private actors, in a world where private actors are leading the innovation and initiatives. Short answer: it's complicated.

Cee The Superioris back and we deep dive into the legends, myths, histories and stories regarding mermaids from around the world and from around time.

Exodus did happen, but it involved the Hyksos retreat from Egypt during the eruption of Thera on Santorini. Upon re-telling the tale and writing words down, their descendants - the now Israelities - changed essential details but retained the Plagues as representations of Yahweh defeating the ten magical and spiritual prinicples of Ra, and Ra's ten manifestations. Defeating the main gods of Egypt plague by plague.
