Slightly less dystopian, in his series "Tell me about" Jesse Cox talks to Bricky about Warhammer 40K lore for beginners for two hours.

Colinfurze is a lot of fun.  I enjoyed his series of building an underground bunker in his backyard, followed by tunnelling to his shed, under his house foundation into his kitchen, and eventually to the front driveway to build an underground garage with car lift.

He's kind of a mad savant builder guy and makes all kinds of crazy inventions besides that too.

This is where the affectionate "he's a looney" becomes useful.

I've been out of school long enough that my math brain is slow. Took me a bit to get it

[DGuller]

I instinctively said 4, 3 due to circumference distance and 1 due to rotating around that circumference itself.  But I saw the choices and assumed my thinking was wrong, so went with B.

Jesse Cox and City Planner Plays having a fun chat about city builders.

Ah, the Original Trilogy arrives.

Richard Kind as Vader is excellent. And I assume he's watched the movie a bit.

Latest on the channel: 30 minutes of An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.

(Skip 4:30 or so of intro )

Actually, it gives a great impression of what my physics class in my last three years of school looked like, which was 100% theoretical, without a single practical demonstration or experiment, and with a teacher who sounded pretty much like this.

Also, eli_handle has some new videos.

Great 70's documentary on the Masai pastoralists. Cows are the only measure of wealth. No cow = loser. Men over 30 can marry and become elders of the tribe. Young men have to leave home and stay in bachelor warrior groups who used to raid cows from other groups and expand tribal territory. Hyper-patriarchal, women move to stay with husbands. An interesting proxy maybe for the proto-IE steppe people.

The cow thing is funny how sticky it is. I remember speaking to middle class Rwandan city dwellers and they still had this idea somewhat set in place.

For IE people... Who knows.
I do like the theories that stuff like the two sets of gods in norse (and iirc Greek?) religion is a result of a more patriarchal society taking over a more matriarchal one.
