How to Name a Baby

*The following article was written by Summarise, a special AI able to search the internet and summarize articles and web links, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

Published on December 11, 2013, "How to Name a Baby" is a lengthy blog post by Tim Urban exploring trends in baby name popularity and providing guidance for prospective parents.

The post begins by establishing Urban's lifelong interest in names, sparked by discovering the "Baby Name Wizard" website and its visualization of name trend data over time. An overview of naming options and their pros/cons is provided.

Timeless, moderately unique, and wildly unique naming approaches are examined in depth. Trend data illustrates the rise and fall of name fads throughout history that can leave adults with dated or generational names.

Demographic influences on naming patterns are explored through regional analyses and the influence of famous figures. Letters, sounds, and gender-crossing are also assessed.

In-depth charts and graphs leverage name statistics to uncover lesser known insights. Fads around specific letters, popularity booms tied to presidents, and the influence of Utah are profiled.

Delicious Visual Map of History

Delicious Visual Map of History is a Shed post on the blog Wait But Why, written by Tim Urban.

It depicts a map from the book *Cartographies of Time: A History of the Timeline.* Made in 1931, it is a page from that book and left Tom with no option but to stare at it for 20 minutes. It shows the empires of the last four thousand years, divided into regions. The amount of space on the map each empire takes up corresponded to which regions it controlled and how powerful it was at that point in time, with a vertical timeline, clearly denoting which empires coexisted at the same time.

Turtle Pages

The Turtle pages are a series of pages on the blog Wait But Why. These pages are very secret and can only be accessed by scrolling to the footer and clicking on the turtle picture on the bottom. The first page is called "You Clicked the Turtle", and includes a statistic showing that 34,555,496 people have visited Wait But Why at the time of writing and how only 6265, or one in every 5516. This means that 99.98% of readers don't click the turtle. After some commentary, a link is offered to go back to the normal website.

The second turtle is on the page of the first turtle, halfway between the end of the last sentence and the footer. Titled "Oh Come On", a statistic shows how only 1419 out of 6265 who clicked the first turtle clicked the second turtle, or 1 out of 24532 people who came to Wait But Why. A big king logo is included taking you back to the main site.

The third turtle is on the page of the second turtle, halfway between the end of the last sentence and the footer, and smaller than the second turtle. Titled "You Win", after congratulating the person who clicked it as a weirdo, a statistic shows how at the time of writing that 949, two thirds of the group who clicked the second turtle and 15% of the people who clicked the first turtle clicked the third turtle, or one out of every 36412 people who use Wait But Why. A video is included of Tim walking his tortoise Winston.

The fourth turtle is just under the video, and much smaller than the previous turtles. Titled "I Actually Can't Believe it", it notes how whoever got on this page would be able to find a turtle anywhere, even if it was only the size of an atom and was located in New Delhi. It includes a giraffe with a link to Underneath the Turban, Tim Urban's original blog.

Clueyness: A Weird Kind of Sad

Clueyness: A Weird Kind of Sad is a blog post by Tim Urban on his blog Wait But Why.

The post discusses the concept of "clueyness" - feeling intensely bad for someone who was only mildly affected by a situation. The author gives examples of cluey situations, like his father telling a story about his grandfather excitedly buying the game Clue for the family, but the kids ditching him to play outside, leaving the grandfather to clean up the game alone. Or stories of grandparents making food for grandkids who don't show up. The author feels immense sadness imagining these cluey situations, even though the people involved were probably not that upset. He talks about how movies exploit clueyness, like the lonely old neighbor in Home Alone. He also shares a personal example involving not helping a FedEx delivery man get into his apartment building. The author realizes his intense feelings of clueyness are irrational, but says he is destined to feel bad about these kinds of situations. In summary, the article examines the phenomenon of clueyness - feeling disproportionate sadness for relatively minor disappointments or slights experienced by others.

Neuralink: The Brain’s Magical Future

*This segment was written by the Bing AI, with revisions by SuperbattleshipYamato.*

Neuralink and the Brain’s Magical Future” is a blog post by Tim Urban on Wait But Why published on April 20, 2017. In this post, Urban explores Elon Musk’s new company Neuralink and its mission to merge human brains with computers. Urban explains that Neuralink’s goal is to create a “wizard hat” for the brain, a brain-machine interface that would allow humans to interact with computers and artificial intelligence in a way that would revolutionize human capabilities. The post delves into the complexity of the human brain and the challenges Neuralink faces in achieving its goal. Urban concludes that if Neuralink is successful, it could lead to a “Great Merger” of human and artificial intelligence that would redefine what it means to be human.

Urban begins by discussing his initial reaction to learning about Neuralink and how he came to understand the company’s mission. He explains that in order to fully understand Neuralink, one must zoom both way in on the technical challenges facing the engineers and way out on the existential challenges facing our species. Urban argues that Neuralink’s mission is even bolder than Musk’s other companies, Tesla and SpaceX, because while those companies aim to redefine what future humans will do, Neuralink wants to redefine what future humans will be.

The post is divided into six parts: The Human Colossus, The Brain, Brain-Machine Interfaces, Neuralink’s Challenge, The Wizard Era, and The Great Merger. In Part 1: The Human Colossus, Urban discusses the evolution of the nervous system and how it has allowed humans to become the dominant species on Earth. In Part 2: The Brain, Urban delves into the complexity of the human brain and how it processes information. In Part 3: Brain-Machine Interfaces, Urban discusses current brain-machine interfaces and their limitations. In Part 4: Neuralink’s Challenge, Urban discusses the challenges Neuralink faces in creating a brain-machine interface that can fully integrate with the human brain. In Part 5: The Wizard Era, Urban discusses what life could be like if Neuralink is successful in creating a “wizard hat” for the brain. Finally, in Part 6: The Great Merger, Urban discusses the potential implications of a successful merger between human and artificial intelligence.

The Battle to Lose the Independent Vote

The Battle to Lose the Independent Vote is a blog post by Tim Urban on his blog Wait But Why. It is shown as a comic.

In it, he recounts that in 2008, he was an independent voter in the middle of the American political spectrum, which has crazy zones on the extreme ends. After looking at presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign, Urban decided to support him and became a Democrat, planned to be temporary.

In 2010, bad news under the Obama administration and Obama's own behavior caused Tim to sigh, but not leave the Democratic party yet. Meanwhile during this time, Republicans in the crazy zones began jumping into the more moderate conservative parts of the spectrum.

In 2011, more bad news and Obama continuing to behave stupidly caused Tim to recoil in frustration, while more crazy Republicans moved into the moderate zone.

By 2013, the amount of bad news caused Tim to head to a meeting of moderate Republicans. There, Tim noticed that a crazy person was being allowed by the moderate to speak and spread their ideas. When Tim asked another audience member about this, the member replied, saying that the crazy Republicans have forcefully integrated themselves into the moderate platforms.

Unhappy, Tim rejoined the Democrats, writing that he will continue to be an unethusiastic Democrat until the Republicans stop creeping him out.

What Makes You You?

*This article was written by Bing AI, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

In the Wait But Why blog post “What Makes You You” by Tim Urban, the author explores the question of what makes a person who they are. The post begins by discussing the Body Theory, which equates a person with their physical body. The author presents thought experiments to test this theory, such as what happens when a person cuts their fingernails or gets an organ transplant. The author concludes that the Body Theory does not hold up because a person can change major parts of their body and still be themselves.

The post then discusses the Brain Theory, which equates a person with their brain. The author presents a thought experiment where a mad scientist switches the brains of two people and asks the reader to consider who they would be in this scenario. The post also discusses other theories such as the Data Theory and Soul Thoery.

The Data Theory suggests that a person is defined by their life experiences and memories. The author presents a thought experiment where a person’s memories are transferred to another body and asks the reader to consider who they would be in this scenario. However, using several other thought experiments this is also disproven

He concludes by saying he believes that what makes a person a person is continuity. While Tim’s grandfather has much more in common with other people his age than with his 6 year old self, what connects them and makes them the same person is both are connected by one string of continuous, unbroken existence. Tim believes the concept of a “soul” in this case would be that string of continuous existence, and what connects that kid to his much older self.
Why Procrastinators Procrastinate

Why Procrastinators Procrastinate is one of Wait But Why’s most viral posts. The post explains why procrastinators procrastinate and their behaviour.

The post introduces three characters in the brain: The Instant Gratification Monkey, the Panic Monster, and the Rational Decision Maker. Non-procrastinators don't have the Instant Gratification Monkey. What happens is that the Instant Gratification Monkey takes control of the brain from the Rational Decision Maker,  preventing the person from doing any work. and the only way this stops is if something that would have a highly negative effect like public embarrassment or being fired feels very possible and very soon in which case the Panic Monster wakes up and chases the Instant Gratification Monkey away, allowing the Rational Decision Maker to work.

It was adapted into a TED Talk, becoming one of the most watched TED Talks of all time.

Mini Week

Mini Week was a series of 5 posts by Tim Urban on the blog Wait But Why on the week of March 7, 2014 (Monday) to March 13, 2014 (Sunday, though the last post was released on Saturday), where he tried to write one mini post each weekday of that week, except not all of them were mini and they weren't released each weekday of the week.

The Jellybean Problem was the first post of the series, released on March 7, 2014 (Monday). The problem goes like this:

There are three beans, two of which are poisonous and 1 safe, and someone else knows which one is safe and poisonous. You select one bean. The host then takes away a poisonous bean, and the host knows that the bean taken away was poisonous. You are given the option to switch. The ingenuity is that it is always better to switch. Because while taking a poisonous bean away gave no new information about the bean you selected, it gave you new information about the remaining bean. There is a two thirds chance that the bean you selected was poisonous, and only a one third chance that it was safe. Therefore, it is always safer to switch because the one you chose is more likely to be poisonous than not.

The post also notes how this applies no matter the number of poisonous beans, and that this problem has been repeated before.

The second post was Everything You Should Know About Sound, released on March 9, 2014 (Wednesday), explaining how it works, how it travels, loudness and the different levels of it, and shows just how loud the Krakatora eruption really was.

The third post was How I Handle Long Email Delays, showing how Tim panics when his friend doesn't respond to his email, becoming worried he socially embarrassed and ruined himself. It was released on March 11, 2014 (Friday).

The fourth post was Why I Should Never Drink a Full Cup Of Starbucks Coffee, a comic from Tim's original blog, Underneath the Turban, showing how after drinking Starbucks coffee Tim gets hyperactive and excited, and after three hours Tim can barely move. It was released on March 11, 2014 (Friday), after How I Handle Long Email Delays.

The fifth and final post is Why is My Laptop On, examining where energy for Tim's laptop comes from, tracing the energy back to fossil fuels, the core of a star, and finally to dimples in spacetime. It was released on March 12, 2014 (Saturday). An add on post released the same day called Energy for Dummies was released, explaining the different types of energy such as fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and renewables.

Why Generation Y Yuppies are Unhappy

*Editor’s note: This summary was written by ChatGPT, with some revisions by Superbattleshipyamato to make it accurate.*

Why Generation Y Yuppies are Unhappy is a blog post by Tim Urban on his website Wait But Why. In this post, Urban explores why young professionals from Generation Y (those born between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s) are often unhappy despite having seemingly successful careers and comfortable lives.

Urban argues that Gen Y Yuppies have grown up with an expectation of achieving "greatness" and finding a fulfilling career that aligns with their passions and values. However, this expectation often leads to feelings of disappointment and anxiety when these aspirations are not met or are not as fulfilling as expected.

In addition, Urban suggests that the rise of social media and constant comparison to others has contributed to the unhappiness of Gen Y Yuppies. Social media presents a carefully curated view of others' lives, leading to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt.

Urban proposes that the key to finding happiness for Gen Y Yuppies is to shift their focus away from external measures of success and toward a more internal focus on personal growth, relationships, and experiences. He also suggests that cultivating gratitude, mindfulness, and a sense of purpose can help individuals find more fulfillment and satisfaction in their lives.

20 Things I Learned While I Was in North Korea

*The following article was written by Summarise, a special AI able to search the internet and summarize articles and web links, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

In this lengthy September 2013 blog post, Tim Urban shares insights from his unusual 5-day visit to North Korea as part of his "Odd Things in Odd Places" series.

Urban conveys the hermit-like isolation and totalitarian control of the reclusive nation through anecdotes from his guided tour. Notable details include the deification of past leaders and pervasive propaganda promoting Korean pride and anti-American sentiment.

Videos and photos offer glimpses of odd cultural phenomena like traffic-directing female soldiers and mass synchronized performances. Urban also examines the pervasive poverty despite impressive monuments to state power.

Interactions with locals and guides leave Urban questioning the depth of state-enforced mind control and uncertainty around what aspects reflect genuine belief. Visits to sites like the mausoleum housing preserved leaders induce tension.

Amusing encounters like seeing Kim Jong-il's use of a MacBook offer brief levity in an otherwise disturbing portrayal of a nation cut off from reality. Urban's narrative shines light on the mysteries of the world's most secretive country through a tourist's eyes.

Energy for Dummies

*This article was written by the Bing AI, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

The blog post Energy for Dummies by Tim Urban is a beginner’s guide to the different types of energy sources that power our world. It explains what energy is, how it is measured, and how it is converted from one form to another. It also gives an overview of the main categories of energy sources: renewable, fossil fuels, and nuclear.

The main points of the blog post are:

* Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. It can be stored in various forms, such as chemical, thermal, kinetic, potential, or electrical. It can also be transferred or transformed from one form to another, such as burning coal to generate heat and electricity.
* Renewable energy sources are those that use resources that are essentially infinite or can be replenished on a human time scale, such as water, wind, sunlight, wood, or biomass. They are also generally clean and do not emit harmful greenhouse gases or pollutants. However, they are often expensive or inefficient to implement and depend on variable factors such as weather or location.
* Fossil fuel sources are those that use resources that are finite and take millions of years to form, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. They are also generally cheap and abundant and provide most of the world’s energy. However, they are also dirty and contribute to global warming and environmental degradation. They also face challenges such as depletion, extraction costs, and geopolitical conflicts.
* Nuclear energy sources are those that use the process of nuclear fission or fusion to release enormous amounts of energy from atoms. They are also clean and do not emit greenhouse gases or pollutants. However, they are also controversial and pose risks such as radioactive waste, accidents, proliferation, and terrorism.

How the Panama Canal Works

How the Panama Canal Works is a blog post by Tim Urban in the blog Wait But Why. It explains the Panama Canal and how it works.

*The following section was written by the AI chatbot Claude-Instant, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

The Panama Canal was built to reduce the arduous journey for ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Prior to the canal, ships had to go around the bottom of South America, adding around 8,000 miles and significant time and costs to the voyage. The French first attempted to build the canal in 1881 but abandoned the project due to engineering challenges and high worker mortality. The U.S took up the project in 1904 under Theodore Roosevelt and finished it by 1914. The total cost of the canal was $921 million, which would be over $100 billion today adjusted for inflation and GDP.

Contrary to some perceptions, the canal is not a straight trench cut through Panama. Rather, it functions like a man-made river running across the surface of the land. Ships ascend to an elevation of 85 feet above sea level at the highest point in the canal. The Panama Canal employs a series of locks to allow ships to ascend and descend in steps, keeping them level at all times. There are three sets of upward locks and three downward locks. This locking system was a major feat of early 20th century engineering when first constructed. Schematics are provided showing the layout of the canal and locks as well as an animation demonstrating how the locks work, with heights exaggerated for clarity.

The Tail End

The blog post “The Tail End” by Tim Urban is about visualizing one’s life in different units of time and realizing how much or how little of certain things one has left to experience. The author uses charts and graphs to show how many years, months, weeks, days, and events he has left in his life, assuming he lives until 90. He then focuses on the concept of relationships and how he has already spent most of the time he will ever spend with his parents and some of his closest friends. He calls this the “tail end” of those relationships, and urges the reader to cherish and prioritize the remaining time with their loved ones. He also suggests some ways to make the most of one’s weeks, such as enjoying them, building something for the future, or helping others.

Life is a Picture, But You Live in a Pixel

*This article was written by the Bing AI chatbot with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

Life is a Picture, But You Live in a Pixel is a blog post by Tim Urban on his blog Wait But Why. In the post, Urban uses an analogy of a man named Jack who is dating a personified version of “Today” to illustrate how people often focus on the big picture of their lives while neglecting the present moment.

Jack is reasonably happy with his current “Today,” but he knows that she is not the one he wants to be with in the long run. He dreams of a better “Tomorrow” and plans to break up with his current “Today” as soon as something better comes along. However, when something better does come along, such as a raise or a new girlfriend, Jack soon realizes that his new “Today” is not much different from his old one.

Urban argues that people often make the mistake of focusing on the big picture of their lives while neglecting the present moment. He suggests that people should focus on making the most of their current “Today” instead of always looking towards a better “Tomorrow.”

But What About Greenland?

*The following article was written by Summarise, a special AI able to search the internet and summarize articles and web links, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

But What About Greenland? is a blog post published on September 5, 2014 by Tim Urban on his blog Wait But Why. The post sought to educate readers about Greenland by sharing numerous fascinating facts about the little-known country and recounting Urban's experiences from his recent visit there.

Greenland had been a topic of curiosity for Urban, who would often gaze at maps and wonder about the large, mysterious land mass situated above the Arctic circle. When readers of his Odd Things in Odd Places survey voted for Greenland as his destination over Norway and Iceland, Urban seized the opportunity to finally satisfy his inquisitiveness.

The article begins by providing geographic and climatic context for Greenland. It notes Greenland's position relative to the Arctic circle results in extremes of daylight hours depending on the time of year. Detailed statistics are given about average temperatures and sunlight variation across different regions. Greenland's origins as part of the supercontinent Pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago are also discussed.

Considerable attention is paid to Greenland's massive ice sheet, said to weigh over 2.5 quadrillion tons. Its thickness of up to 3km is illustrated through comparisons to tall structures. Potential sea level rise impacts of a full melt are quantified. Recent calving events of exceptionally large icebergs are documented.

Moving to the human geography, population data for towns situated along the narrow coastal fringes is analyzed. Details are given about the Inuit ancestry of most residents and the dual linguistic heritage of Greenlandic and Danish. Fishing, particularly of shrimp, dominates the economy. Socioeconomic issues like high suicide rates are also touched upon.

In describing Greenland's flora and fauna, the article focuses extensively on the country's numerous sled dogs, vital for transportation. Their appearance, behaviors and historical domestication are expounded upon.

Examples are then shown of Greenlandic words to exemplify the linguistic isolation of the Inuit language family. Urban's alarming personal experiences with unexplained phenomena such as human bones and local supernatural figures add an aura of mystery.

The piece covers two especially unusual incidents from Urban's travels - his encounter with a sprawling family network centered around the matriarch Berthelina during a homestay in the tiny town of Oqaatsut, and uncovering Greenland's unconventional role in the Christmas tradition of children writing to Santa.

In summarizing Greenland's appeal, Urban's article succeeds in conveying both its surreal, unfamiliar qualities as well as the admirable perseverance of those who have long called this Ice Island home. Its original research and entertaining anecdotes provide enlightening insights into an oft-overlooked country.

Why Going to the Doctor Sucks

*This article was written by the Bing AI, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

The article Why Going to the Doctor Sucks by Tim Urban is a blog post on the blog Wait But Why about why visits to the doctor are bad and one solution that is being done to fix this.

Tim introduces his wife, Tandice, who has a rare autoimmune disease and often goes to the doctor. He describes her complaints about the process of making an appointment, waiting for hours, filling out forms, getting rushed through the visit, and paying a lot of money.

He then explains why the American healthcare system is so messed up. He compares it to a distorted market where the incentives of the buyers (patients), sellers (doctors), and middlemen (insurance companies) are not aligned. He argues that the system is based on a volume model that rewards doctors for seeing as many patients as possible, regardless of the quality or outcome of the care. He also mentions that she has started a healthcare startup with her friend Chloe.

Tim introduces the Lanby, his wife’s startup. He describes how Lanby works: it is a subscription-based service that provides primary care at home through a network of nurse practitioners. He explains how Lanby solves some of the problems of going to the doctor by offering personalized, convenient, and affordable care. He also shares some of the benefits of Lanby for both patients and providers.

Tim concludes by inviting the reader to check out Lanby’s website and sign up for their waitlist. He also expresses his hope that Lanby will be part of a larger movement to change the healthcare system for the better.

God’s Wounded Ego

God's Wounded Ego is a Wait But Why blog post written by Tim Urban. It is written and drawn like a comic.

It depicts how in Heaven, God, frustrated with Jesus not doing anything with his life, sent him to Earth in the 1st Century for a learning experience, with the condition to not use magic and not let anyone know he was God's son.

30 years later, God is shown reading the newspaper, which that day was full of stories about Jesus doing magic. God became angry, causing Jesus to come back to Heaven on a cross and grounding him.

In the 4th century AD, God notes to his wife how he's surprised that people on Earth were still talking about Jesus 350 years later, with his wife suggesting that people really liked him.

1000 years later, God, reading the newspaper, remarked that Jesus was still being written about 1300 years after his visit. Attempting to conceal his anger by pretending he found it funny that people talk about Jesus despite God being the one who created the heavens and the Earth, stormed out.

In the 21st century, God's wife, eating with Jesus, told him it had been a tough 2000 years for God upon seeing him depressed.

Boss fights

**Boss 1 - Altair**

He will float into the air when you first get close to him. You will see 2 windows on the top one on each side, shoot them when you get the chance as they will buff him or give him a shield until you break them (doing this will make the fight a bit easier.)

He will shoot semi homing ice daggers at you on occasion, he will summon an ice cloud that will rain down frozen daggers at you, shoot the cloud 5 times to destroy it, or just run away for a while until it despawns, as it will follow you.

Later when you get him to about half health, he will start throwing ice javelins at you, hide behind any pillar or wall but not too close to the wall or it will hit you through it.

**Boss 2 - Agnes**

There will be 4 levers you must pull to be able to damage the rat queen, 2 on each side of the map, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. The green colour in the pipes shows you which levers need to be pulled. It does not matter what order you pull them; once you pull all active levers you will have a limited amount of time to deal as much damage to the rat queen as possible before her shields are back up. Be mindful of nearby rats that spawn when a lever is pulled.

After the levers reset, she will summon big rats, kill them or she will heal by eating them.

She will throw acid at you (do not stand underneath this it will consistently hurt you) and will shoot 3 bullets at you.

**Final Boss - Duncan**

Duncan has two stages. In the first stage, he will throw shackles at you that stop you from moving around the stage, but you can still shoot at him whilst shackled. You can remove the shackles by grabbing your wrist and then pulling in the opposite direction. On top of shackling you, he will also shoot at you from a set of platforms that are around the arena, of which are dimly lit so stay vigilant and find him quick. Avoid his shackles and shots by taking cover behind the four pillars in the room, which have a thinner core that always remains in place and a thicker core that moves up and down. Summon Mother's spell by placing your hand on one the four pillars to have a spirit follow Duncan and better see his position.

Every now and again he may jump from the pedestals to deliver a melee attack, it's destructive force is tbd.

Upon killing him the first time, it will give you the usual death animation, but he will then quickly reanimate once color returns to the stage and will immediately continue his onslaught.

Throughout the second stage he will summon copies of himself which will show as red crystalline figures shoot you after a delay. These can be destroyed with one shot before they start shooting at you. Use the remainder of the time to damage Duncan as he is channelling. He will also cast AOE eruptions during the second stage so you just want to keep on moving to avoid the red light from underneath and keep on shooting him. Come in with extra lives and be prepared to die.

Once you beat his second stage it will show Duncan kneeling in front of a crystal and there is a pistol on your right with a mag close to it, You can either shoot Duncan or pray to the crystal to end your run.

The flag of Tanpepria features a tricolour pattern with an emblem on a bar on the left.

The use of a trident and cogwheel symbolizes the small island nation and its autocratic government, while the tricolor pattern of teal blue, supernova yellow, and black may represent different aspects of Tanepria's culture, history, or landscape.

* Teal blue: This color symbolizes trust, stability, and communication. It could represent Tanepria's desire for a stable and transparent government, one that communicates openly and honestly with its citizens.
