A star had to be decided as a significant value of goodness. It was almost similar to when I remember the way back when in an interview with Daniel Dennett is an evolutionary biologist that Tufts he said how did we use to dream before movies in cinema mmm right did we dream like because most people dream like they're watching a movie did we always dream that way hmm things like that so when stars were implemented did they have one star and then two stars right or did it already somebody said we're going to go start off with three stars?
Dave and Chris explore Dave’s thoughts from his time in a homemade sensory-deprivation chamber (a New York apartment with blackout blinds), including why stars are the ratings system of choice, Vlad the Impaler, and ‘The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House’ on Netflix. Then, they theorize about how gambling and betting could change the world of food, from the James Beard Awards to futures betting in restaurants. Other topics include Pokémon supremacy, the pure joy of Mario Bros., the best sauce for french fries, and kimchi made via genetic algorithm.
