Hay all y'all, here's a potentially finished draft of the next video. I don't have any changes personally planned at this moment, but I haven't done my own watch-through of the YouTube upload yet, I will do that tomorrow while I make the thumbnail and get the transcript that becomes the captions ...

Thanks to everyone who came out to see Mikey and I at PAX, it was a lovely time!
We've made some pretty substantial changes to the video based on feedback and we're hoping that this improves flow and legibility. There's still a lot of unfinished visuals, and basically I'm holding off on th...
I want to thank everyone for their feedback on the draft of This is Financial Advice posted a couple days ago. It's reassuring that so many of you enjoyed it even in a janky, incomplete state with broken audio, missing graphics, and alternate takes.
That said, the feedback has revealed the ...

Hey everybody, the final stretch is in sight. I'm posting this in a less finished than usual state because we still have a couple days of recording left to do so that'll give us the opportunity to hopefully address anything that's just not working.
Probably our most ambitious video to date...

Hey all, things are slowly wrapping up on this next video, to the point that there's a mostly-watchable draft.
I know a lot of you like to wait for the finished video, and I respect that, but for those who do want to see an unfinished 90% done preview, here it is.

Hey everyone, first of all here's a preview draft of the next video, though this version is a few days old and is missing a whole bunch of stuff that's been changed in the interim. If you've been watching the editing streams then this is more or less the version from a week ago, since things were...

Hey everybody, it's finally here!
This is... well, it's a lot. It was very stressful to make, took way longer than anticipated, and releasing it makes me super nervous, I get a bit vulnerable in places, but I guess here we are.
Captions are still being worked on, but should be done by...

Tell a story.
This is a bit of a lighter video while I work on the NFT video which will probably take me until the end of the year, which I guess is, yes, confirmation that I am working on that and not just angrily tweeting. I actually started working on it originally back in May, but the s...

EDIT: lol, I forgot to export the audio
This is a lot less finished than normal, but believe it or not this is also over the hump. Still a lot of work to do, but all the black will fill in pretty quickly over a couple days.
On the whole I would estimate another week or two of work to ...

I've been chipping away at the Scientism video, still, when I decided to pivot to this, thinking it would be "easy" to turn out. Clearly it took a hot mo all on its own, as I really found myself getting pretty deeply invested into the subject.

I'm hesitant to call this a preview excerpt because I'm not sure how much more I want to develop this specific line of research. This is very rough because of that, but also because I'm still waist deep in all the reading and watching I've done. Basically there's a lot more that needs to be done ...

I forgot some stray assets at the end of the timeline and will need to export the final version later!
Maybe I spent forever on a Blender scene and all my Fusion comps because I felt bad that the video is, otherwise, just me talking.

So, this is a ~95% complete draft. There's still the following that needs to be done:
• Audio mix

• Reevaluate a few clips I don't like
• Re...

Bizarre experiment here, this is (in theory) a 120fps vlog that works within the limitations of YouTube to deliver some extremely rare ultra-high-framerate content and does so with a subject matter really capitalizing on the strengths of the format: a vlog sitting on the lawn rambling without scr...

Given the degree to which this one has changed since the last draft I'm posting a new draft. The finished video should be up in a day or two and is unlikely to change dramatically from here.

Write like there's no tomorrow.
I think this one is going to be pretty good once it's actually done.
There's obviously a bunch of footage missing, some of that just need to be edited in, some of it needs to be recorded still, but it's happening.
