Pandemic life is hard.

Hey team! The video is live. Minor graphical tweaks about, but the only significant change is the bit about "lesser of two evils" logic has been expanded to two paragraphs instead of one to give more nuance, be less blunt, and a...

COVID19
Obviously, March's update is going to have to address What's Going On Right Now. No getting around it. So, let's talk coronavirus.
First thing's first: I'm fine. So far, anyway. Massachusetts has been pretty good about dealing with the...

Hey team,
I know we've all got a lot of stuff on our minds right now, but the rough cut of the newest video is online. But for a few tiny tweaks - I want to fix Guy from Payroll's beard, Generic Office Lady's blouse, and I...

Hey team! Here's the rough cut of Protagony 2.
It's temp audio because the day I was planning to record final audio was really windy and a tree was banging on my window the whole time. I've rephrased one or two bits of the script since this was recorded. There's also a little big of graphic...
2020-02-29 18:20:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey team! Figured I'd get February's update to you early, since there's a decent chance I'll be bottlenecked come the end of the month.

aaaaaaAAAAAHHHHHHHH OK HERE'S ONE OF THE ROUGHEST CUTS I'VE EVER SENT YOU
the audio mix is all over the place, there's at least one place where I haven't picked a clip so it's just black, I've redrafted the script so many times that I think it kinda loses the thread and I've already revised...

Let's Try This Again
I'm calling do-over.
I came into January with a bunch of optimism. As some of you may know, my birthday is in early January, so new years also bring new ages. This month has been the start of a new year, a new decade, and, by turni...
2020-02-01 01:09:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey team, I wanna get ahead of things, so here's an update: I'm not sure what the status is on this month's video(s).
My plans for January have been disrupted by health crises. I've been to Urgent Care twice in the past two weeks. Just so you know: I'm fine. The first thing seems to have be...

Hey all,
For any of you in the New England area, Boston University is hosting Ben Shapiro this Wednesday and I will be joining the BU YDSA and BU Students Against Hate Speech in protesting his talk.
If any of you can make it, you'll get an in-person high five from me.

Here's the whole dang thing.
I'm hoping to launch this tomorrow morning, but I'm waiting on confirmation from someone. I thank a number of people who helped with research in the end credits, but I want to make sure everyone consents to having their name in the video, and there's one person ...

Hey team,
Here is the final rough. Tomorrow I'll record and edit final audio and hopefully string the whole thing together. I probably won't get the whole thing done til late, so I'm gonna hold off on publishing until the weekend or maybe Monday morning, whichever seems best for a launch da...
2019-10-18 02:52:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey team! I said I might be able to get the final chunk of the video off to you before leaving town. I'm writing this from an Amtrak, so that didn't happen. I ended up having a lot of logistic stuff to manage yesterday and not enough time to work. So! I'm still hoping to get the finished video on...

Hey team, here's step five.
My hope was to launch the finished video publicly on Friday. Unfortunately, I'm heading out of town on Thursday. I think I could manage it if I had the full week, but I'm down to three workdays and I don't see this thing being done that fast.

I think I implied this one was long, but with a lot of pruning and streamlining it is now only somewhat longer than the other parts! overall, tweaks and revisions have hacked the script down from 15 pages to 13. Huzzah!
More to come soon. Cheers.

Here's another chunk. As with the last video, the script has been streamlined but not re-recorded, so things are a bit clunky in places and don't always 100% match the slides. Feedback welcome but anything to do with audio quality or minor graphical inconsistencies I already know about.
Not...

Alright, here's Step Two! I've made some tweaks to the script since recording this, but they were minor enough that I didn't feel like re-recording before doing this rough. Current draft is just a bit more streamlined. You'll see a few lines that don't match text and may think a couple spots are ...

Hey team,
This video is structured as five steps and then a conclusion, so I'm going to show you each section as I finish them. I'm having an internal debate with myself as to whether I want the finished video to be one big video or six small ones, so maybe showing them to you in bits will ...

This one's going to be very big and I'm not sure how long it'll take, but I wanted to share how it opens.
