Hi, I’m Mike — I run this channel.
I started Brain Snacks to explore big questions and complex topics, and to try explaining them in plain English. I’m not an expert in any of these subjects — just a curious person trying to make sense of the world.
Instead of diving super deep, we keep things high level and accessible. No jargon. Just a clean overview of how things work, with a bit of history, a touch of technical insight, and a look at the economic, social, and future implications of whatever we’re talking about.
This is my curiosity journey — and you’re welcome to come along.

From poop-fertilized seeds to AI-powered tractors, agriculture has shaped every chapter of human history. In this episode, we trace how farming began, how it transformed civilizations, and how it freed up humanity to invent, industrialize, and innovate. You’ll learn how fewer farmers led to more breakthroughs — and where the future of food is headed next.
Topics Covered:
The accidental discovery of farming
The Fertile Crescent and early crop domestication
Ancient innovations in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Andes
The Agricultural Revolution and the fall of farm labor
Industrial agriculture and the Green Revolution
Regenerative farming, local food, and the next big shift
🎧 Whether you eat, grow, or just think about food — this episode shows how agriculture made everything else possible.
