The Story of Rum
15 min
This week, Everything Everywhere Daily explored how power, knowledge, and chance shape human history. The episodes ranged from the architectural ambitions of empires—both the Aztecs and the Pentagon—to the overlooked stories of violence and resilience, while also examining the scientific breakthroughs and forces, from CPR to chaos theory, that determine survival and consequence. Whether tracing the global legacy of rum or the origins of a devastating virus, the week revealed how seemingly separate threads of history, science, and culture are deeply interconnected.
