I’m surprised you got tired of the stupid decisions if I’m honest.
I wasn’t aware the characters were making any.

For some reason I read ‘zombies’, was wondering what on earth you were planning.
I’m not too sure being non-religious from the start would lead to better education. Seems to me that religion was quite a big driver behind early education. You’ll also have some trouble separating history religion and science at that point, people told each other stories about things that happened or how they thought things worked. Some of those stories are rather more fantastical than they needed to be, but how would you tell if there’s nothing to kickstart intellectual discourse in the first place?
And the whole religion stops crime through fear idea seems overly simplistic. It’s the same reasoning that bigger sentences would lower crime, and so far that hasn’t worked terribly well.
Americans assuming ‘America’ means ‘U.S.’
Wait so the production release would consist of uploading the files with Filezilla?
If you can SSH into the server, why on earth use Filezilla?
Maybe some idiot shot straight up into the air?
I must have missed that one, what’s going on with Filezilla?
If anything it was the lack of anything happening that made me switch over.
Why did the United States enter the Vietnam War?
Not the easiest kind of question to answer with multiple choice…
Depends, who’s choosing the experiment?
You also shouldn’t ask how it manages to light only half of an otherwise flat earth I suppose.
Best explanation I saw involved light curving. At which point you’re just working with a spherical earth in a weird coordinate system.
Not sure about the self-driving, but he had a video challenging the idea that electrons in wires that carry electricity. Basically arguing that it was the electric fields themselves that carried the power, which is largely outside of the actual wires.
Not sure if that’s the same one where he asked what would happen if you used a light switch connected to a lamp by two wires. Apart from some truly egregious mistaken units (1s/c as unit of time), I vaguely recall thinking it was basically a huge clusterfuck of misunderstandings about what an electrical circuit diagram even is (stuff like real vs idealized components, parasitic capacitance / inductance etc.)
They’re the kind of ‘Well actually’ half true factoids that you never hope to encounter in the wild if you actually understand the stuff. For someone claiming to be enthusiastic about science communication he did one heck of a job poisoning concepts with subtly wrong/misleading explanations that make it a lot harder to explain stuff to anyone with the misfortune to encounter his version first.
And at this point it’s also code for ‘machine learning’.
Which really is just fancy statistics. Sometimes it’s barely more advanced than plain regression.
