Part of the book club thing might be because self-help books tend to be mostly anecdotes, so are probably good candidates for summarizing.

Investing in shell is arguably ethical if you're doing it to exert shareholder influence or just be a pain in their ass at annual meeting time.

None, unless dead old Marvin Minsky had his head frozen and that counts somehow.

Yes, but, having now put that image into our minds, what does that make *you*?

I don't know, I worked at a Dunkin' Donuts when they still did baking in store, and there were male and female employees. I'm not saying there was NO fucking going on, but I wasn't lucky enough to witness any let alone participate.

A Tactical Flour Sifter, made for men.

Yes but if you had a five ton, meter wide strand of spider silk…

This is going to end with a new myth that Bayes found some magic stones that let him see probabilities.

2.5 hours is a bit of a slog but Olson’s videos are sufficiently entertaining and well-edited to make it work. He cites videos enough to make it worthwhile to present as a video.

Also, speaking for myself, his videos tend not to be the sort of topics where I would want to reference specific parts later, where a text version would be better.

I do wish some of the cited tweets and forum posts were easier to read in the video.
