“I was asking MrBeast about turnover with his most talented employees and he said there’s value in keeping everyone together for a long time.”

“Mr. Beast used to live with the guy that runs his operations. He said I haven’t spent 10,000 hours talking to him. I’ve spent 30,000 hours talking to him.”

Now when Mr. Beast walks on set Tyler can know what he’s about to say before he even opens his mouth. Tyler can predict and rebut every objection or question Mr. Beast would have. He understands how he thinks completely.

“It’s like the Vulcan mind meld from Star Trek.”

“You can move fast without even communicating.”

“You don’t get that in 100 hours. You need more time together.”

“One benefit of long tenure is trust. People keep you honest.”

“The other benefit is efficiency. You don't have to give as much context.”

the twist is if you take damage inside the game you feel pain in real life by using a haptic feedback suit.

#Obsession producer James Harris says YouTube filmmakers shouldn’t “skip the ‘Obsession’ step and move on to $20 million studio movies”:

“There’s a lot of merit in doing that step first and making something that says something about you, versus doing a franchise film that maybe you don’t nail, and then you go back to the beginning again.”

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
