The Hunt for the Blackest Black
- Charcoal is made through a process called carbonization, where organic material is burned using very little oxygen so that the big and complex carbon-based molecules break down and leave behind mostly pure carbon.

What If Humans Disappeared?
- Hundreds of millions of years from now, alien geologists from outer space may be surprised to find sedimentary rocks full of tiny carbon-based particles that were once part of rubber tires or plastic bags.

Peter Singer: Are we prepared for AI to become conscious?
- But, uh, I don't see any reason in principle why if we can have consciousness in a biological carbon-based life form, like I am, which has developed a brain and neurons, I don't see any in principle reason why you couldn't get something similar happening in something that isn't a carbon-based life form but is, um, made of of silicon chips.

What If We Just Burned All Our Trash?
- And not like- "Excuse me. Are these quail eggs organic?" but "matter composed of carbon-based compounds" organic.

- But matter composed of carbon-based compounds organic, meaning most of what they burn is food, paper, wood, etc.
