New video! Last decade three major questionable companies, Theranos, WeWork, and Juicero, failed after raising huge money. Two of them didn't even have working products! So why did sophisticated investors throw cash in empty shells? Let's talk about it.

Related to our videos and paper on where money's value comes from. The Stone of Jordan was crafted to have all the necessary traits since the game's gold didn't.

New upload! The world often appears unfair, and one of the reasons s that in entertainment, and pro wrestling, people who seem to have limited performing ability often make the most money. But I think there's a real reason for that. Check it out!

I bought into the mutant powers, time travel & aliens on this show. But I could never accept that anyone could afford to build the Sentinels. 30' walking AI combat robots that get cut down like bowling pins. Even the government doesn't have that budget.

New upload! Women's entertainment is loaded with stories about princesses and royalty, even though princesses don't have a lot of drama in their lives. Is this a shallow interest? I think it means something much deeper. Check it out!

New video! Digging into the details of the disaster, the success of the movie, and what happened to the OceanGate submersible, to find out why people are so crazy about the Titanic. BTW, Jack has a lot of similarities to John Connor.

Hulk Hogan recently passed away, and I grew up a huge fan of his. But as much as I watched him, I never really noticed that he was bald. And neither did all the villains who talked about him. It turns out this was no coincidence. Let's talk about why.

New video! The world of sports is rife with PED's, so much so that people have started "enhanced leagues" and are suggesting that we should just legalize all of it. Would that work? Let's dive in.

Pretty much yeah, what we talked about in the Shining video, haha.

Apparently AI's that train on lots of games do better on individual games than AI's that studied only that game. There's a theory of human performance that says that people who do several different sports before specializing in one do better at it too.

Televised pool (billiards) would likely benefit a lot from highlighting the object ball, like how the NHL used puck highlight for awhile. Would make it much easier for casual viewers to follow. Sometimes small changes can do a ton for a game, like the hole card camera in poker.

New upload! Clowns follow a time-tested template to make us laugh, but if you don't do it just right, they can make us frightened instead. Let's talk about why.

Windhorst is a tiny bit off, because the "Mind the Game" podcast has famous players themselves on it so the fans still get to learn about the players as people by hearing how they think. If it's pundits talking about X's and O's that doesn't do it.

New upload! Is the artificial intelligence scare the new Y2K hysteria? Or a real danger? We'll go deep on how AI could effect the economy and our lives, and talk about how the greatest threat may come from it working the way we intend.

New video! I followed Rachel Zegler before she was a movie star. Let's talk about that, some other things that went wrong with Snow White, and why she may not actually believe what she's said.

New upload! People devote their lives to trophies, climbing mountains, and, most recently speedrunning games. Is it pointless activity? Or maybe it means more to society than we think. Let's talk about it.

If you love someone who died, you remember what that person told you for advice and what they would've wanted, including helping their family members, which helps you and helps the dead person's genes to continue on. So yes, there's a reason for it.

They say online flaming is due to anonymity, but people are far nicer on stream chats where they see the person reacting even if they themselves are anonymous. I think it's mainly amplifying our words when we think we won't be heard. Like we talked about.

At :06 they play the song off a record. At 4:17 the band is playing the song.

New upload! A meme round-up looking at funny things and explaining why they're funny. Including "Firefighters in Reverse," "Spider-Man: Forever," the Kentucky town that dissolved itself, and the passed-out NBA Mascot. Humor Theory at work! Check it out.
