    When does regulation protect us, and when does it hold us back? Recorded live at EMO in Hanover, Germany, Tungco CEO Cliff Nance and co-hosts Paul Cook and Royce Wilson dive into the difference between sensical and nonsensical regulation. Inspired by a scene from Yellowstone where Governor John Dutton challenges bureaucrats over "empirical evidence," the conversation explores everything from tungsten carbide and cobalt regulation under REACH and EPA frameworks to broader questions about human flourishing, personal freedom, and institutional trust. The team examines hazard vs. risk, correlation vs. causation, and why context matters more than blanket policies—whether discussing recycling sustainability, transgender rights, or road infrastructure. It's a frank, thoughtful exploration of how to evaluate policy through the lens of truth, scientific rigor, and pro-human values.

    What is Extractive Metallurgy? Misfits Cliff Nance, Paul Cook and Royce Wilson welcome guest Joseph Pearlman as he explains what that means (according to Joseph, it's "selectively extracting a target metal - such as ore or recycled materials - from a substrate"). Among other nuggets of knowledge, he also shares that there's 50 millions tons of e-waste generated per year... that's a lot of potential product to get out of our “trash”. Not just brains as a chemical engineering major - he was also on the track and field team.
