This "housekeeping" (cough cough) episode of The Portal is only for the hard core listeners who launched this experiment with us. This year we begin to take on the idea of the [[Distributed Idea Suppression Complex]] or "DISC". | This "housekeeping" (cough cough) episode of The Portal is only for the hard core listeners who launched this experiment with us.

* Two whole months of unlimited access '''[http://www.skillshare.com/PORTAL Skillshare.com/PORTAL]''' | |||
Returning sponsor SkillShare is one of the most popular with the Portal audience because we have a lot of stuff teachers out there, and SkillShare is effectively a university in your pocket. Any course you can think of that you want to take under the sun probably has some representation and SkillShare through instructors the high quality videos teach you everything in the privacy of your own home. I wanted to test SkillShare by giving them something I felt very uncomfortable with, namely, Interior Design. I always notice when I'm in it somebody else's home, it isn't just a collection of interesting objects, but it is somehow beautifully pulled together. So I came up with a course on the site talk by Emily Henderson called "Style Your Space: Creative Tips and Techniques for Interior Design", and, sure enough, she explains sort of the rigmarole or theory behind pulling a house together visually to create a coherent space. I'm glad I did, and it's probably not something I would have been comfortable doing if it wasn't in the privacy of my own home. Now SkillShare is a proud sponsor of The Portal, so you can explore your creativity at SkillShare.com/Portal and get two free months of premier membership. That is two whole months of unlimited access to thousands of their classes for free. So get started to join today by heading to SkillShare.com/Portal for high-quality courses in just about everything. I can do that with SkillShare—the University of the phone for autodidacts. | |||

Okay, let's admit it. You were caught masticating, and you haven't been taking care of your teeth properly by brushing them for 2 minutes afterwards. Now, why is that? It's because you're not fascinated by your teeth. In order to understand how important your teeth are, you have to realize that they originate from two separate layers of the developing embryo. That is, the ectoderm and the mesoderm. That seems like a miraculous collaboration for you not to be taking care of them. With Quip, makers of the new electric toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss, it is going to give you great habits. Now, you know that you're supposed to be brushing your teeth for about 2 minutes, but with Quip they have a timer inside the electric toothbrush, which guides you as to how to divide the two minutes properly into four separate segments of 30 seconds each. Furthermore, it's an absolutely elegant and clean design, and it makes brushing your teeth a pleasure. So with Quip, you're going to take much better care of your teeth. So if you go to GetQuip.com/Portal right now, you'll get your first refill free. Quip is the good habits company. Take an interest in your teeth, and for god's sakes, keep masticating, but keep them clean. | |||

In order to explain where new sponsor Athletic Greens fits into your nutritional picture, I have to tell you an evolutionary fairytale: Once Upon a Time your ancestors had perfect comprehensive nutrition simply from living in a state of nature.

A new sponsor Fender play. I'm really curious what took you guys so long. Look, I've been playing Fender guitars to Fender amps for 24 years. I'm addicted to your product. You don't send me a Telecaster you send me some relatively tame ad copy or what gives now with Fender play. Yes, you can Master chord songs techniques. You can track your progress in the at blah blah blah. You can share your success you can connect to real teachers, but that's not what's really going on. You need to play and share music with other people in order to fully experience what it's like to be a human being on this planet. We lost chest to the computers. We lost the game of go to the computers but music is still the operating system for the human heart. And if you're going to break some hearts, you're going to need to learn how to play music and it's going to make everybody better off. So we have an incredible deal for our listeners new members can try Fender play free for two weeks and save 50% off a fender play annual plan. The only way they can take advantage of this is to go to fender.com podcast and use the special offer code portal at checkout. It's fender.com podcast using the checkout code portal, but this offer is only available for a limited time, but most importantly you need to get started playing music in order to fully experience what it's like to be a human being and I think this is a great way to do it from one of our best companies. | |||

So, I hope that this is going to be at an unbelievable decade. Thank you guys for sticking with it. I'm sorry if this was a little bit long, but it was a lot to say and it was heartfelt and quite important to me to get it out, and we will return to trying to get you high quality content, either in the form of interviews, which you've become used to on The Portal, or perhaps some new visual content that allows you to understand ideas that would be very difficult to communicate but for some novel means of presentation. We hope to approach the community, to try to coordinate people who are eager to contribute back into the program, and maybe get a little bit of a closer relationship to our content going forward, maybe influence it a little bit, and we haven't figured out all of the bugs. So thanks for being part of the initial experiment. Thanks for sticking with us. And we're looking forward to being with you in the coming year and decade ahead. So, you've been through The Portal for first solo episode of 2020. Be well everybody. Stay tuned. | So, I hope that this is going to be at an unbelievable decade. Thank you guys for sticking with it.
