Episode 3 – WE ARE KIDS – Closing by Zoltán Rendes
It is truly one of the greatest things in life to be a father. Also, as my son Oliver is getting older, getting smarter, and opening his mind, it is becoming harder and harder to be a dad. He watches and reads the news about disasters, wars, climate change, and asks questions. Some of these […]
Episode 3 – WE ARE KIDS – OPENER by Balazs Juszt
And today’s reason we are an endangered species is: kids. One of my favourite Hungarian comics said: Youth! The future is yours! It used to be that it was gonna be ours. – But we fucked it up. I added the last part. The climate crisis is not just changing the planet – it is […]
WE ARE GUACAMOLE by Zoltan Rendes
Avocado as guacamole is a must for tacos or chips on game day or every day. It is the all-time fav brekkie as avocado toasts or Avocado Benedicts around the world. It is the crown jewel of poke bowls or Cobb Salads and a mandatory ingredient in all green liquids. Americans eat 4 kilos of […]
WE ARE MEASLES BY BALAZS JUSZT
The 2nd century, AD was a tumultuous one. The Five Good Emperors ruled the Roman Empire, the Jews were removed from Jerusalem after Bar Kokhba’s revolt, the Han dynasty trembled in China. The seismometer and paper were invented and Ptolemy compiled a catalogue of all stars visible to the naked eye. And there were roughly […]
ZOLTAN RENDES – WE ARE DIRE WOLF CUBS
Looking at these fluffy little creatures, Romulus and Remus, I’m equally amazed and terrified. Reading about the debate in the scientific world in connection with the topic makes me even more troubled. So, did we bring back the dire wolf, which went extinct 10 thousand years ago, or not? Is this de-extinction project just a […]
Episode 2 – WE ARE MONEY CLOSING – Zoltan Rendes
As Balazs said in the first episode: I can’t put a price tag on your survival, but some people surely can and will. According to these people, everything and everybody has a price. We can put a price tag on my opinion too: mine is 2 cents. How much is yours? “Money makes the world […]
Episode 2 – WE ARE MONEY OPENING – Balazs Juszt
And today’s reason we are an endangered species is: money. The Lydians brought the concept upon humanity around the 7th century BC, and although they have long been extinct, this custom of theirs stuck around. Let’s not be modest; they also had other traditions: once a Lydian girl reached maturity, she would ply the trade […]
WE ARE ONE POINT FIVE – Zoltan Rendes
You have probably heard about the crucial 1.5 C climate goal. If you haven’t, then don’t even bother to understand it, because we are speeding by that one quickly. We are going to get a new goal and threshold soon. So, don’t worry! Unless, of course, you are bothered by facts and the consequences of […]

Episode 1 – We Are Numbers – Closing – Zoltan Rendes
At the end of the day, we are just humans living on a planet. 8.2 billion of us and counting. I don’t care about your money, your political views or your religion. I will always treat you as a human being. A human being I share a habitat with. We also share this habitat with […]
