Gentlemen Monkey

One of the best shows in my lifetime

Revisado: 12-15-21

Welcome to SFIA! Grab a drink and a snack and we'll get into this review.

I've been following SFIA since Isaac's first few videos on YouTube.
If you're old enough to remember the pre-internet days of broadcast television, do you remember being a kid and impatiently looking forward to your favorite show each week?
SFIA makes me feel that way each week as an adult.
Every week it's a highlight of my week and I look forward to it with anticipation. Even after following it every week for years, I still feel like that.

What is SFIA? It's as the name implies: a look at the potential future, normally within the constraints of what is (at least at the moment) known to be scientifically possible. Ideas are explored of what mankind can do in the near to far future, why we may choose to do certain things and not others, etc. It's a rabbit hole of possibility and thought experiment and, if you're like me, it's quite the enjoyable mental journey. Occasional dedicated episodes will indulge into science fiction just for fun as well (Scifi Sundays).

This show has been a blessing to me for many years but especially so during the pandemic. I have found it a wonderful mental stimulation to ponder these ideas and it has been incredibly uplifting to consider all the marvelous things we can and will accomplish. If you're at all like me, this show is chicken soup for the soul.
The host, Isaac Arthur, is a delight to listen to. His personality is perfect for exploring these concepts and every episode is very thoroughly researched. This show is incredibly well produced and entertaining as well.

If you enjoy exploring ideas about what the future may hold you really owe it to yourself to check out a few episodes.
