Nat Geo’s Breakthrough Shows Us The Future Of Health & More
Well, Nat Geo has started putting on a new series, and it’s right in-line with just about everything this site would ever hope to be about. -Just in video format.
It’s on Sundays, 9/8C and we’re already starting to get to the good stuff like, “More Than Human”.
So, while you’re waiting for the next installment,
Check out their trippily-animated, Hayden Planetarium-meets-Minority Report-On-LSD website.
A linked-list of the major sections is below, to help you sift through & target the content you’d like to check out.
There are several major blocks in each of the 6 main topics, with about 4-5 blocks under ~3 of those.
The Speculation sections are much larger sub-sites all unto themselves, and about as big as any of the main topics.
Either way, just a few shortcuts to help you around the absolute Mountain of fantastic & hard-won content.

(he also has Bitcoin & Eth support addresses down at the bottom of every page.)
UPDATE: Bad News, Good News. Apologies for the link-rot here. But Nat Geo seems to have pulled their stunning Pangea UI info site off the internet.
However, even though the videos for the original 2015 series appear inaccessible via The Internet Archive, the !Legend! that is ihavenotv.com has them up over here.
Furthermore,
1) The rest of the series including the 2016 and 2019 stuff is available from CuriosityStream & their Amazon channel here,
2) Somehow the Asia site still has the 1-minute intro videos here,
and
3) There is an extensive list of shorts over on YouTube here,
-So all is not lost, unlike the Wired DATA | Life videos that all disappeared when Fora.tv did.
