• Is it normal to talk to yourself?

    Dig into the psychological benefits of positive self-talk, and find out when it can become problematic.

    --

    Being caught talking to yourself can feel embarrassing, and some people even stigmatize this behavior as a sign of mental instability. But decades of research show that talking to yourself is completely normal; most if not all of us engage in some form of self-talk every day. So why do we talk to ourselves? And does what we say matter? Dig into the psychological benefits of positive self-talk.

  • Why don’t we cover the desert with solar panels? - Dan Kwartler

    Explore what would happen if we covered the Sahara Desert in solar panels, and the possibility of it solving our energy crisis.

    --

    Stretching over roughly nine million square kilometers and with sands reaching temperatures of up to 80° Celsius, the Sahara Desert receives about 22 million terawatt hours of energy from the Sun every year. That’s well over 100 times more energy than humanity consumes annually. So, could covering the desert with solar panels solve our energy problems? Dan Kwartler digs into the possibility.

    Lesson by Dan Kwartler, directed by Christoph Sarow, AIM Creative Studios.

Joshua Paul Dale explores the urge known as cute aggression.

    Lesson by Joshua Paul Dale, directed by Oksana Kurmaz.
