From ancient salts curing fish to the audacious freezing of human heads, our fight against decay is more than just beating the clock - it's about conquering forgetfulness. Humanity's relentless drive to preserve everything from fleeting moments to hard-won knowledge isn't just a mission; it's a defiant roar against the silence of oblivion.

In this episode we explore humanity’s battle with preservation over the millennia, and highlight a few of the more interesting (and concerning) bits along the way.

Every archived file, every digitized memory, every frozen hope isn't just about prolonging existence; it's about building a legacy. We're not just outwitting rot; we're trying to craft our own enduring form of immortality. Let’s check-in on how we are doing so far.
