The Filter Ep 66: Evolution and Entropy

This is my admittedly half-baked theory about evolution and entropy. I don't think I'm wrong though, and maybe by the end of this episode you'll agree with me.

Among other things, you will find talk of: • Tuning parameters • Iterated evolution • Missing entropy • Turning into crabs • Hairless cats • Chocolate cake • Flat earth theory • Panspermia • Monarch butterflies • The Drake equation • Simulation theory • and Tardigrades (because of course)
