Youtube hearted comments of Kevin Street (@Kevin_Street).

  1. Thank you for this video! It's really interesting, and I appreciate your insight into things like the dark photon story. Your skepticism is very different from most most science coverage on (or off) YouTube, and very refreshing. Merry Christmas to you and to everybody who reads the comments. 🙂

  2. Thank you for another great video! I hope the oncolytic virus in this video succeeds in becoming an effective cancer therapy, though at 5-10 years it'll be a while before we find out. In any case the larger field will no doubt grow and provide many more potential therapies. With so many possibilities out there, surely some of them will become gamechanging and history making treatments! It really feels like we're getting closer and closer to a world where cancer is a treatable disease.

  3. Thank you for another fascinating video. I love the way you lay out each argument in a clear style, it's so much easier to follow than a lot of the informative channels on YouTube that are more focused on trying to keep the viewer's attention. Some of your Bitcoin arguments are familiar to me, and some of them are new, but they were all really well presented and interesting. Thanks again!

  4. Thank you for another fantastic video! It's very educational. But I wonder if you could do a video in the future focusing more on the Canadian experience of the Great Depression. Was there anything we did to make the effects worse than they would have been otherwise? My dad used to tell stories about Bennett Buggies (cars pulled by horses because the owners couldn't afford to pay provincial gas taxes), and how William Aberhart (the premier of Alberta) thought he could somehow print his own money and give it to Albertans (he couldn't, but it got him elected), so I know there were all sorts of crazy things going on here in the 1930's.

  5. Thank you for making this video. I'm interested in investing but not very knowledgeable about it, so I find your advice extremely helpful! Warnings are just as useful as positive advice. Maybe more useful overall.

  6. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. If I see any of those scam comments I'll flag them.

  7. This was really fascinating! Thanks for making the video! We need more education on our own financial history.

  8. I agree with you! Sorry about the exclamation mark, it's just that YouTube randomly recommended your video and I'm a bit surprised we see the issue in such a similar way. The problem is that fantasy is too expensive to make, at least the way that streamers are making it right now. As an old guy I remember when fantasy mostly came in the form of TV mini-series. They were usually between six to ten episodes, and adapted some preexisting story. There was the Arabian Knights, The Odyssey, Peter Pan, Stephen King, The Wizard of Oz and about five hundred different versions of fairy tales. The results were somewhat mixed in terms of quality, but my impression is they cost about the same amount as a prime time drama series, or maybe slightly more. But not six million an episode! I agree with you that animation is the best way forward right now. Something like Wheel of Time could be adapted in animated form far more faithfully than in live action, for less money. Netflix's "The Dragon Prince" shows that it could even be done on a streamer. It's more a matter of adjusting audience expectations than any kind of technical or financial barrier.

  9. Thank you for another great video! Multiples are a concept I've had trouble with in the past, but your explanation makes it very clear.

  10. I watched your video on a computer running Windows 7 - so no, I'm probably not going to run out to get 11 as soon as possible. ;) Let 'em beta test it for five for ten years first.

  11. Thank you for this video! It's really informative. I've got a feeling I'm going to be rewatching this one in the future before making major decisions.

  12. Thank you for this most interesting (and somewhat scary) video! "...If these images become commonplace, easily scattered across the Internet, constantly in your newsfeed, what happens? Just like the instant access of the Internet has dulled our attention spans and kept us hungry for the next novel thing, will this devalue our own imaginations, because we can create without consequence or without effort?" That's a darn good question. I wish I could just say no, this kind of AI will help us use our imaginations in ways we normally don't use them now because it's too difficult or costs too much - but that's just some people, the ones who are already creatively motivated to express themselves. What about the rest of us, the majority who are just consuming information? Will we lose interest in art itself, because "anybody can do that?" Wish I knew the answer to your question. "In training an AI we are teaching it about our world. If we aren't careful we'll imprint the imperfections of our society into the brain of that AI. You're only as good as the examples you learn from, which is true both for people as well as for artificial intelligence." This is another extremely fascinating subject. I'm not sure I agree with the statement "you're only as good as the examples you learn from," but I agree you only start out as good as the examples you've learned from. Humans can learn on their own by rational deduction, detecting our implicit biases and overcoming them. It isn't easy, in fact it's one of the hardest things we can do, and it seems to get harder with age. But surely an AI could do the same thing. I used to think there was no way a computer could paint an original picture, but here we are.

  15. Thanks for another great video! It helped me feel a little better about this stressful time. Seems like the best strategy right now is to just wait for an upturn. Hold on to your investments and don't sell.

  22. This is a very good video! Thanks for making it, and please rant away whenever you want to. Actually I always thought that the goal of investing for most people is to have enough money for retirement. Like you said, saving as much income as possible is the foundation of any kind of future prosperity, but with interest rates so low and bank fees so high just putting money away isn't enough. You have to invest those savings intelligently so you can have as high a net worth as possible when you turn 65. That might not make you "rich," but if you have no financial worries after you stop working - and have enough money to make old dreams come true like home renovations and fancy vacations, that seems close enough.

  25. Excellent video. Thank you for posting it. I like Tesla, but its stock is clearly caught in a bubble at the moment. Tesla is a fundamentally good company that would be a good investment at a normal time, but right now Tesla stock is massively overpriced and due for a correction.

  26. Thank you for this video on the current state of wind turbines! It seems like the current paradigm of building bigger is approaching its limit, and the technology needs to innovate for further progress.
