About this episode

Have you heard about how to boil a frog? They say if you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water - it will jump out.

But if you throw a frog in a pot of cool water… and you slowly start turning up the heat.

Slowly but surely. So slow that it’s just incremental changes in heat. It’s said the frog will sit there, completely unaware of its impending doom, and it will be cooked to death.

The frog has been “willingly” cooked alive.

Do you think humans are any smarter than frogs? Maybe not.
