Do do you, do you watch YouTube at all? Yeah. A little bit. I'm trying to do more learning. I want, like, a better information diet. And a couple years ago, I subscribed to a ton of newsletters. You know that phase when everybody was, like, super into, Substack and whatever, and it was just, like, everybody was doing paid newsletters. I subscribed to, like, 50 newsletters. And I had this grand plan. I'm gonna read all these newsletters, learn all this stuff. But, like, what happens is I've just spent the last two years just, like, marking every email read and archiving them immediately and not reading any of that shit. So I think I should go to YouTube instead because newsletter thing is just, like, it's not working. But I'm not sure what channels to watch. Like, I don't know what's good on YouTube. I just know there's a lot of good stuff. You're trying to increase your information diet. Are you is it, like, vaguely you just want more information? Like, are there are there specific types of things you wanna learn? I'm not even there yet. I don't know. Like, I want I just wanna learn stuff.

I'm ranked number, like, 23 in the world, a ticket to ride because I play so much on my phone. I'm like, I shouldn't be doing this. I should be learning something. Know what that is. It's a random fucking board game. I guess, like, you shouldn't even know. It's not I shouldn't even know what it is. But there's so much good stuff on YouTube. Every now and then, I stumble across like, somebody in Hacker News the other day was recommending, like, this video on astronomy. And I just, like, clicked it randomly, and it's, like, this YouTube channel called Crash Course. And they just do crash courses and topics. It's almost like Khan Academy, where you can learn about math or business or life sciences or, you know, history. And I clicked, like, video number 25 in their astronomy course, and I learned all this stuff about, like, how we know how far away the stars are and the history of how the ancients, like, figured out that the Earth was round. Like, did you know that ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round, like, two thousand years ago? I didn't know that shit. And the way …
