Cursed Knowledge is our podcast that explores how narratives, for better and worse, have shaped our world without us noticing. The world is full of people pushing their version of reality on us and it’s time to expose the truth. No matter how much you might wish we hadn’t.

A revamped Cursed Knowledge is back! This episode, Harper and Ben talk about the all too common trope of killing off female characters to motivate male characters. It’s everywhere and it can tell us a lot about how hard it is to capture audience attention.

  2. I should clarify: “apologetic” about fellow Westerners generating so much trash.

    I’m actually pro-guided climb companies, particularly if the businesses can find a balance between helping the economic situation for Nepalis, providing safety standards for clients, and promoting conservation and appreciation for the beauty of the Himalayan area.

    (Spoken like a tourist who has been to the Antarctic, the Galapagos, and other interesting places that birdwatchers flock to.)

    To what degree does clothing material and technology change the accomplishment? If more and more people want to claim they have ‘stood on top of the World’, there is opportunity for helping them and engaging in economic activity. Possibly, over a long enough period of time, the journey will become ever more civilized by the tourists, albeit currently ones with elite levels of determination, and their financial means to purchase services. Who would it be a good advert for to have an eco-facility somewhere near base camp?
    I can’t help but see a vague parallel to space tourism, even though rocket ships involve sitting down in a warm cabin. Mr Musk might already have done rough sketches of Teslas with snow tracks.
