Chapter 1: What sparked Adam Wyman's fascination with death?
All right, Adam. Thanks for coming on the podcast, dude. Thanks for having me. We were just talking off camera. You were saying your dad's the one who kind of got you into creating all these videos on death and how people die and all these terrifying things.
My dad is part of the genesis of dark science. But it really is multifaceted. So as a kid, when I grew up, I was very – terrified of like dying, you know, like I was terrified of death. My pets died. My grandparents died. You don't understand it as a kid, you know, just know that death happens and it could happen to you. It could happen to your parents. And it's like, well, this is terrifying.
And, um, my parents would say, Oh, Adam, relax. It's not going to happen to you. You're very young. You know, the chances are it's not going to happen. And that's not very reassuring for a kid. And the peak of like my fear of dying, I don't know why I had a fear, probably because I didn't understand it. There was a girl at the local high school, I was in like fourth grade.
She died from meningitis. She was like 15 and it was all over the news. It was a big deal. And so as a kid, I'm like, well, I'm going to die. You know, like this is terrifying. If it happened to this girl, it's going to happen to me. Um, and so that just kind of like sealed the deal. Like if my parents went out for a, to go run errands and they, I'm like, this has taken a while.
My mind, they died in a car accident or whatever, or I'm going to get cancer, you know, just like crazy fear. So fast forward to about sixth grade, I joined the Boy Scouts and you have a bunch of 10, 11 year old kids around a campfire. They're just going to burn shit, you know, and they're tossing in styrofoam and plastic cups and plastic wrap. And I'm like having a freak out.
I'm like, guys, like, stop. We're going to inhale the fumes. We're going to get brain damage. This is going to be bad. And they're not going to listen to me. Yeah, sure. Just keep, just keep burning stuff. And there was a kid in my troop named Michael, and this kid was very smart. Like, at the age of 14, he could have started college. Very bright kid.
And I'm like, Michael, like, we're going to die. We're going to have brain damage. Oh, my gosh. And he's like, oh, no, no, no. There's plenty of ventilation out here. The fumes are going to disperse. And there's oxygen from the trees. We're going to be fine. And immediately, it was like a switch got turned on. And I'm like...
oh, now that I know why it's not a big deal, why I'm going to be safe, there's comfort in knowing why things are going to be good and how it works, the mechanics of that situation. And so I immediately had this trust and comfort and science and understanding, you know, dispersion of fumes in an open area versus like a room or something. So that's like that's like the first part. Right. Yeah.
The second part is with my dad. So my dad, um, was a Lieutenant Colonel in the air force. He was also a nurse in the ICU and, um, for 30 years. So he had a lot of crazy stories, just, I mean, graphic stories and me being curious to now being interested in science and disease and cancer. I, I would ask him things, you know, like, Hey, you know, What happens if you drink bleach?

Chapter 2: How do childhood experiences shape our perception of death?
What happens if you do this? And he would, no problem, explain it. He would say, oh yeah, I had a patient who, their liver ripped open and there's blood everywhere and we tried to triage this way and that. And I was just like, okay. And he had no problem because in his mind and what the situation was, he was educating me on what was happening.
I remember as a kid, I would wear my seatbelt across my abdomen And he would say, no, put it below your navel at your pelvic girdle. I'm like, well, why? He goes, I've had patients, they get into car accidents, the seatbelt compresses their abdomen and just rips their organs apart, you know? And so just knowing that is like, okay, gotcha, gotcha.
So now I know why that's, and the pelvic girdle, he would say your pelvis is more stable. If it compresses, you're going to be okay. Um, and just like that curiosity, that morbid curiosity, that's kind of like, you know, did your dad have the same curiosity?
Like what made him want to be in the ICU? Um, like I always thought like, it's always been in the back of my mind, like people that are in the ICU, they gotta be different type of person.
I shadowed there. So when I was in college, I was going for med tech to be like a lab scientist, um, and like a hospital. And so I just shadowed in the ICU for a week. And I'm like,
absolutely not no way because it is just constant death and you see people in their worst states and it's like no but my but my dad you know you got to have that sort of mindset and just to deal with it and he had seen it for so long he was like oh yeah this person you know bled out and we we did this and that i'm like all right so i was kind of raised a little bit different from you know

Chapter 3: What are the origins of fluoride in drinking water?
with that morbid curiosity, but in a good sense of like understanding it. Right. Um, but why he chose the ICU, I think that's just where he ended up and he just stuck with it and said, I'm just going to do this.
Did it change him at all? Did he ever talk to you or ask him about that?
Um, It changed him in the sense of he knew things could get real, you know. He did tell me a couple stories that he would begin to tear up. He had, you know, some patients die and he had, you know, he tried his best and sometimes that just happens, you know. That, I want to say like messed him up, but it just gave him a different perspective on like life. Yeah. Um, so yeah.
Um, so, you know, growing up as a kid, fearful, but then having the comfort in science and then the curiosity from my dad learning that stuff. I've always wanted to be a teacher. I love to teach and I love just learning things from teachers. And if you have a good teacher, man, you're just like, you're glued to the board. You're like, yeah, okay. And I wanted to go be a history teacher.
so i majored in history and um halfway through um i changed to biochem and um i changed because this is like 2009 2010 when the recession was was happening and uh teachers weren't leaving their positions their finances weren't good so they stayed in the jobs and um i was just told like you know teachers there's not many jobs so i'm like i'm just gonna go for stem
And then went for biochem, and I'm like, well, I love science. I love teaching. I found a channel on YouTube called ASAP Science, which kind of does what I do, but it's more of like a lighthearted explanation of science. And I'm like, I can do this, and I love doing this, so I'm just going to do it. And that's how the channel kind of came to be.
Yeah, the thing about your videos that is so compelling to me is the topics that you choose are like the... They're like, and I'm not saying this in a bad way, but they're like the most obvious things that I'm curious about. Like when I'm scrolling through your videos, it's like, yes, I've always wondered about this, but I've never thought to ask.
And I've never seen anyone explain it because it seems like such an obvious question, right? Sure, sure. And that's beautiful about it. Oh, thank you. And the way you do them also is so... you make it so easy to comprehend and they're not super long and complicated.

Chapter 4: Does fluoride affect IQ and cognitive function?
And I come away with a perfect, you know, understanding of what's going on and what happens after every, after every video that I watch. So you do a great job with that, man.
Thank you. Thank you. And you know, um, people ask me, how do you come up with these ideas? I mean, I think it's kind of hearkening back to my upbringing and, uh, having that morbid curiosity as a kid, I kind of developed it as like an adult. I try and make sure that like, since I love to teach, I want you to understand how this works. And to me, this is a big issue on YouTube science channels.
They'll just blurt out like, this happens because this, blah, blah, blah. And I will take my time to make sure you understand the mechanics of a situation, why this happens, how this happens, when this happens. And so that's, you know, my goal. And with dark science, you know, it's a dark topic. You're going to get attention.
So you're kind of teaching people without even realizing they're learning.
What is the, out of curiosity, what is the craziest thing that your dad or you saw ever in the ICU experience?
I didn't see too much because I was there for a week. I'm sure my dad has some crazy stories, but one that comes to mind and I think I can say it's probably fine.
We can censor it if it's not too friendly.
No, I mean, there's going to be blood and stuff.
Yeah.

Chapter 5: What are the healthiest countries in the world?
He had a patient who was a chronic drinker. And this has always stuck with me. And I believe he had like severe cirrhosis of the liver. His liver was just like to pieces, shutting down. Wow. And I think he said that this guy was losing blood from his liver and they're just pumping in IV bags one after the other. And they couldn't get the liver, the wound, whatever it was, to seal up. And...
something happened where like the doctor was in the room where my, my dad was there, but they're like, we can't, we can't stop this. Like you're probably going to die. And my, my dad said, the guy looked at him just like, you know, he's like, he, he understood. And he was like, this is my moment. This, this is all I got. And the guy died. Not, not, not long after, but just like,
seeing the guy's reaction to like, you're going to die soon. And he did die not long after, I think maybe like a few minutes. Yeah. And he just, I think he said, he looked at my dad and he closed his eyes and then was like at peace because he had no choice. And, you know, that can probably mess some people up. But I think my dad was, you know, he's a veteran of the ICU.
So, you know, maybe that affects him today. I don't know. But that was a story that was really just like, holy crap.
Yeah, I've always been curious, like when people are about to die or when they have some sort of chronic disease or they're dying of cancer. how their psychological mindset affects that. Like with some people give up and some people keep fighting psychologically, mentally, they are resilient. And I'm like wondering how much of an effect the brain can have on the body in that regard.
I mean, there are studies that, you know, people who are more positive, who have family and friends around will have better outcomes. They if they don't beat the cancer, sometimes they do, depending on the stage and the degree. But if they don't beat the cancer, they have a better quality of life. And this this can this be, you know, through positive outcomes.
You have more endorphins when your family are around. Your body has chemical cascades that kind of help you perform better. But whether it be like adrenaline, again, it'd be endorphins. Maybe if you're more positive, you're drinking more water, you're doing more positive things that can help you. Whereas if you're more giving up, You're not eating. You don't care about your medication.
And that will take a toll. I mean, the more stressed you are, the more cortisol you produce and more inflammation on your body. So, I mean, the mindset is a big deal. I don't think it's the factor, but it definitely helps.
Yeah, for sure. Are you a hypochondriac?

Chapter 6: How do farm-raised and wild-caught salmon differ?
So it's like, it's getting worse, you know? So I just kind of with late, uh, with, I lift weights into the treadmill and biking, but yeah. But even with that, I'm like, yeah, it's asthma. It sucks.
So no, I used to have those same similar thoughts when I was a kid about death. I remember specifically one of my most terrifying thoughts that still I can like recollect vividly today. Um, When I was really young, I would have these thoughts pop into my head of what it was like.
I don't remember if this came after my grandpa died or something, but I remember vividly when my first thoughts about death was like, you close your eyes and it's just black. It's just black forever. That was the most terrifying thing.
That's, that's still pretty scary. I got nothing for that. Right. But yeah, no, but as a kid, you're just like, holy crap, it's black. And you think about it.
Chapter 7: What happens during a headshot and how can you survive it?
You just cease to exist. You're just, you're just dirt, inanimate dirt. And there's nothing, there's nothing, just infinite darkness.
Jeez.
That's a terrifying thing. Yep.
Oh yeah. No, I mean, there's, there's no way getting around that.
Yeah.
Unless you have like religion, you believe in karma or karma, like re- I forget what it's called.
Yeah. Well, I think there's, I think it's like statistically proven, right? That most people, when they reach a certain age, like forties or fifties or sixties, they start to become way more religious and accept God. And yeah, I think so.
I see a lot of old people at church, like a lot of old people.
There's not many like teenagers at church, right? Unless their parents are dragging them there. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of nuclear war and the role of DARPA?
uh what speech with uh what george bush senior when he said we we there is a new world order after oh yeah after the cold war that we are going to start implementing yeah yeah yeah i mean we could go that that's a whole different kind of words yeah the new world order yes yes um but with the with the again the the the mechanics you know understanding how it works so
This is why fluoride isn't in water and why it's good. And I can get into why it shouldn't be in the water. I think people should have the choice to drink water if they don't want it altered.
Well, they have to clean all of the sewage, right? And they put them in these giant circular vats, these giant concrete vats, where they treat it with tons of chemicals, not just fluoride, right? And that's the city water. That goes into everyone's faucets in the city typically. And in order to clean that water, you have to put a ton of chemicals in there to clean it.
And I'm sure fluoride is one of those chemicals that is responsible for cleaning and sanitizing that water for people to drink it and use it to shower and stuff like that.
So fluoride, I think it does have some antibacterial properties, but the amount of fluoride in the water, now maybe there's a higher concentration before it goes out to the public where they could clean it. I mean, that could be like very, very high concentration, but it's reduced if it goes out to the public supply for water. Right. But getting back to the mechanics of fluoride.
So your teeth are made of a crystalline mineral called hydroxyapatite. And it's a crystalline structure of calcium. It's why you need calcium for your bones. Phosphorus and hydroxy, which is an OH molecule, hydrogen and oxygen. And hydroxyapatite will dissolve when exposed to acid over time. And it'll break down from erosion, just eating and stuff, and it just decays.
So that's why you need to intake calcium and phosphorus in your diet to replenish the hydroxyapatite. Well, it turns out fluoride can also bond in this crystalline structure, and it forms a new crystal called fluoroapatite. And fluoroapatite, based on the atomic properties of fluorine, makes a stronger crystalline structure.
So it doesn't break down as fast when exposed to acid, and it's more resilient overall.
Hmm.
