  Captain Disillusion has been mentioned here a few times but I want to expound on it. It's not just about video editing, it's about understanding how your mind works, how things spread on the internet, marketing, and about how most modern illusions aren't even new tricks because they don't have to be. If the story is good, the same old tricks work just like they always have. https://www.youtube.com/user/captaindisillusion https://www.youtube.com/user/captaindisillusion

  If you're into aviation you might find these interesting: 1. Mentour Pilot https://www.youtube.com/c/MentourPilotaviation/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/MentourPilotaviation/videos Petter from Sweden explains aircraft systems, crash investigations, how pilots handle awkward situations in the air. Very thorough. 2. Captain Joe https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC88tlMjiS7kf8uhPWyBTn_A https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC88tlMjiS7kf8uhPWyBTn_A Joe is from somewhere in Europe, and he explains flight systems, how things work. Lots of overlapping content with Mentour Pilot. 3. 74 Gear https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCovVc-qqwYp8oqwO3Sdzx7w https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCovVc-qqwYp8oqwO3Sdzx7w Kelsey from America has tonnes of incredibly funny anecdotes. Unlike the other two pilots who do mostly short flights within Europe (though Captain Joe recently changed jobs I think, and so I'm not so sure anymore), Kelsey does long-haul in a 747, and his stories are also diverse.

• caffeinecrazy 4y ago
  You already have a lot of great recommendations, so I'll add a few I haven't seen listed yet. - Neuroscience: Andrew Huberman | https://www.youtube.com/c/AndrewHubermanLab https://www.youtube.com/c/AndrewHubermanLab Absolute Gem and really sparked my curiosity of human biology. He spends a lot of time going over the neuroscience literature, essentially giving a lecture. It's quite dense, but a lot of practical advice you can apply which is backed by science. - History: Oversimplified | https://www.youtube.com/c/OverSimplified https://www.youtube.com/c/OverSimplified A comedically narrated hyper summary of historical events. It made me very interested in learning more about events of the French revolutions, the founding of USA and it's civil wars, and more. For more depth, highly recommend the OG podcast hardcore history. - Construction: B1M | https://www.youtube.com/c/Theb1mGoogle/featured https://www.youtube.com/c/Theb1mGoogle/featured Lots of interesting videos about the development of unique structures.
• Fnoord 4y ago
  I recently found out Lex Fridman's podcast and I thoroughly enjoy it. Episodes I listened to are Jack Barsky, Stephen Kotkin, and currently the one with Neal Stephenson. He interviews a broad spectrum of people, about a myriad of topics. I skipped the CEOs though some here may find interview with Zuck or Elon interesting.
  • tinco 4y ago
    The interview with Zuck was really disappointing, he got a lot of flack for his mellow interviews of contentious persons and he's been trying to prod a little deeper on them since then. I think he's great at interviewing interesting people, but Zuck is just a PHP developer with good business accumen, there's not much interesting going on there. Lex Friedman is imo the best podcast out there, but if he's got an interview with someone you dislike, I'd skip it because he'll not press on where you think he needs to press on to get to the heart of it.

  I recommend Thunderf00t for (mostly) debunking modern snake oil salespeople: https://youtube.com/c/Thunderf00t https://youtube.com/c/Thunderf00t
  • sascha_sl 4y ago
    Thunderf00t covers interesting topics, but last I checked his editing style was extremely obnoxious with large segments - sometimes 80%-90% - of new videos being a retelling of other videos (and too often one about Anita Sarkeesian for no reason). Did he improve at all?
    • nibbleshifter 4y ago
      I've found him pretty consistently unwatchable tbh. He sometimes covers interesting stuff, but the style/etc rubs me wrong.
  • failTide 4y ago
    I think he's good as long as you can remain critical - he's brings up some good topics but people need to come to their own conclusions. He's pretty anti-SpaceX, but I think some of his criticisms are off there. I remember one of his arguments was that starship was nothing special because fully-reusable launch vehicles had already been tested - but who cares about that? On the other hand, his criticism of musk's vegas tunnel is fairly spot-on IMO.

  Two Minute Papers - https://www.youtube.com/c/K%C3%A1rolyZsolnai https://www.youtube.com/c/K%C3%A1rolyZsolnai Dr. Zsolnai has been a great recap for computer graphic and AI research as its released. He presents the authors' research, sometimes shows his own attempts on their models, and often reflects on the authors' previous publications. America's Test Kitchen - https://www.youtube.com/c/AmericasTestKitchen https://www.youtube.com/c/AmericasTestKitchen Always a nice addition; America's Test Kitchen is consistently referenced on other channels as the reason they do X thing for their recipe. Disney Research Hub - https://www.youtube.com/user/DisneyResearchHub https://www.youtube.com/user/DisneyResearchHub Disney doesn't post weekly videos, typically they drop 4-5 videos at once. Similar to Two Minute Papers (and sometimes covered there as well), it gives you a nice look in where we are in state of the art CGI.

  @sthatipamala and I run a channel called The Technium. We cover fringe, retro, or overlooked technologies that have a core idea that has potential to change how we do things. We talk about what the technology is, what it can do today, and what the 2nd order effects would be if it were pervasive.

  Lots of great content mentioned already, but one less known channel I really like is Classics In Color. She makes videos about ancient Greece and Rome, but the subjects are often things that aren't talked about much in the mainstream, like sexuality.

  - Plainly difficult: he mostly covers disasters (mostly human made), how they came to be, played out, and the historical/societal consequences. Also recently started covering ethically questionable events, generally well researched and narrated. - Kyle Hill: Covers a lot of scientific, mathematical, and phylosphical topics while trying to stay reasonable accessible to a broader audience. Solid presentation and exciting to watch.

  This question was posted on the math subreddit a few days ago and got a bunch of responses, the most popular of which are already here but a whole bunch that aren't: https://old.reddit.com/r/math/comments/w1zyn8/favourite_math_youtube_channels/ https://old.reddit.com/r/math/comments/w1zyn8/favourite_math... Of those listed there I would like to highlight this one: https://www.youtube.com/c/Aleph0/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/Aleph0/videos A few others that I've found recently also in math/physics: https://www.youtube.com/c/PhysicsExplainedVideos/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/PhysicsExplainedVideos/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/SimulatingPhysics/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/SimulatingPhysics/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3L8AcX1xJEhTofnCF2MAaQ/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3L8AcX1xJEhTofnCF2MAaQ/vid... https://www.youtube.com/c/ScienceClicEN/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/ScienceClicEN/videos The French version of the above channel has a lot more videos but unfortunately aren't translated to English yet. Proper lectures by professors of various math/physics topics unfortunately are scattered around YouTube and I'm surprised no one has gathered a big list of them given that during COVID a lot of stuff has been put online. I've only found the following two channels which gather various lectures given however at a graduate/research level so you're unlikely to learn much unless you have a significant background: https://www.youtube.com/c/GraduateMathematics/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/GraduateMathematics/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/GraduatePhysics/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/GraduatePhysics/videos

  Usually what I do is search for interesting topics + "lecture". I have found that a good speaker that knows his subject trumps documentary-style videos. Also very pleasant to listen to while doing other things, there is no assumption that you need to see something at the same time (although sometimes there are slide decks too). And usually I make a bookmark or a note of the channels I end up enjoying this way, they use to have more content of the same kind.

    Curiosity Show - the channel uploads content from an old (70s and 80s mostly) australian kids show where the hosts perform table top experiments, or simply explain something in a way interesting to kids.

  As much as I enjoy nicely produced content most often mentioned here, lately I tend to prefer less-produced videos made by professionals in a field. When I got interested in Asian cuisine, I learned a lot from Chef Wang Gang, there is a retired F1 engineer called Malcolm Oastler documenting his project of motorbike-powered race car, a Canadian artist David Bull living in Japan and specializing in Japanese poster art. It takes much longer to find them, but I find the results much more satisfying in the long term.
  • suranyami 4y ago
    Chef Wang is excellent. Also highly recommend Chinese Cooking Demystified: an American + Chinese couple living in Guangdong do deep dives into the complexities of regional Chinese specialties. And for something much lighter but still informative and fun: Blondie in China. Aussie girl fluent in Mandarin exploring all things China. While we’re talking food: I have learnt so many great techniques from ThatDudeCanCook: if you do no other thing, you should watch his video on preparing filet mignon I never eat out for steak because it’s never as good as what I can make myself.

    Probably because his current judicial situation is, to say the least, messy. That made a lot of the interest in him vanish for a lot of people. So prob thats why you haven't seen him mentioned.

Atomic Frontier (https://www.youtube.com/c/AtomicFrontier https://www.youtube.com/c/AtomicFrontier) is kind of similar. - Ant Lab (https://www.youtube.com/c/AntLab https://www.youtube.com/c/AntLab) has slow motion videos and information about insects. - Ben Eater (https://www.youtube.com/c/beneater https://www.youtube.com/c/beneater) hasn't made any videos in a bit, but his playlists will teach you about how electronics become computers. - Chessnetwork (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCDOQrpqLqKVcTCKzqarxLg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCDOQrpqLqKVcTCKzqarxLg) has great entertaining chess games and I learn a lot watching them. - Driving 4 Answers (https://www.youtube.com/c/mr2mk1hero/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/mr2mk1hero/videos) has a lot of great videos talking about mostly car-related engineering. - Exurb1a (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCimiUgDLbi6P17BdaCZpVbg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCimiUgDLbi6P17BdaCZpVbg) is a channel about philosophy basically. - Great Art Explained (https://www.youtube.com/c/greatartexplained https://www.youtube.com/c/greatartexplained) goes into the stories and thinking behind a lot of great art. - Historic Italian Cooking (https://www.youtube.com/c/HistoricalItalianCooking https://www.youtube.com/c/HistoricalItalianCooking) shows and prepares ancient Roman recipes. Very relaxing. Tasting History (https://www.youtube.com/c/tastinghistory https://www.youtube.com/c/tastinghistory) is kind of similar, but includes all of history and is more lively in comparison. - Hochelaga (https://www.youtube.com/c/hochelaga https://www.youtube.com/c/hochelaga) is kind of biblical philosophy and adjacent areas. Really interesting offbeat channel. - Journey to the Microcosmos (https://www.youtube.com/c/microcosmos https://www.youtube.com/c/microcosmos) shows video of microscopic creatures with mellow explanations over the top. - Lindybeige (https://www.youtube.com/user/lindybeige https://www.youtube.com/user/lindybeige) has interesting diatribes (for lack of a better word) on English history, and assorted other offbeat topics. - Mustard (https://www.youtube.com/c/MustardChannel/featured https://www.youtube.com/c/MustardChannel/featured) has videos on the history of engineering and science. - Neo (https://www.youtube.com/c/neoyoutube https://www.youtube.com/c/neoyoutube) is a kind of modern history channel. - Ninja Nerd Science (https://www.youtube.com/c/ninjanerdscience https://www.youtube.com/c/ninjanerdscience) is an amazing channel where you can watch medical lectures presented in a really engaging way. You can learn a lot even if you aren't actually in med school. - Not Exactly Normal (https://www.youtube.com/c/NotExactlyNormal https://www.youtube.com/c/NotExactlyNormal) has social/cultural mini-documentaries. Paragraphic (https://www.youtube.com/c/PARAGRAPHIC https://www.youtube.com/c/PARAGRAPHIC) is kind of similar. - Real Science (https://www.youtube.com/c/realscience https://www.youtube.com/c/realscience) has mostly information about animals. - Told in Stone (https://www.youtube.com/c/toldinstone https://www.youtube.com/c/toldinstone) has great videos about Roman history. - Wristwatch Revival (https://www.youtube.com/c/wristwatchrevival https://www.youtube.com/c/wristwatchrevival) takes apart and repairs mechanical watches, which is really interesting. - The Ulengovs (https://www.youtube.com/c/onedayincountryside https://www.youtube.com/c/onedayincountryside) is not strictly educational but they show how people live in rural (very, very rural) parts of Russia and it's super interesting. - Strange Parts (https://www.youtube.com/c/StrangeParts/featured https://www.youtube.com/c/StrangeParts/featured) hasn't been making videos recently due to an injury, but they spent a lot of time in Shenzhen and there are amazing videos about electronics in the back catalog. - PBS also has a whole collection of channels that are pretty good. Space Time (https://www.youtube.com/c/pbsspacetime https://www.youtube.com/c/pbsspacetime) and Eons (https://www.youtube.com/c/eons https://www.youtube.com/c/eons) are probably the highlights for me. Moth Light Media (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOh5Ht3eB4914hMUfJkKa9g https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOh5Ht3eB4914hMUfJkKa9g) is another channel that's kind of like Eons.

  I’m of the belief that social media use ravages the attention span and imposes a high passive opportunity cost on your time (consider how often you absentmindedly open your phone to scroll a feed without looking for anything in particular only to suddenly realize 20 minutes has passed with nothing to show for it). While there is a great deal of informative content on YouTube, personally I find the cognitive trade offs of being a YouTube user far too great for it to be a tool of intellectual development. I’m just a random asshole on the internet though, so credit my opinion accordingly.
  • kup0 4y ago
    You don't have to involve yourself with the social-media side of YT at all, though. It is optional. I curate my subscription list and don't browse any discover-type feeds or anything and only see content from channels to which I am subscribed. I block comments sections using a browser extension. I don't watch "shorts". As far as the social media aspect of the site goes, if one ignores the comments and algorithmic content (which isn't always horrible anyway but is certainly optional) you can easily curate a good experience for yourself.

  I follow a few general learning videos, some of them cover seemingly random, but interesting, topics. But I have my favorites, and here they are. - Technology Connections - Somebody already mentioned his channel, but it's worth it to find out how the stuff we take for granted works. - Today I Found Out - One of Simon Whistlers channels, he covers a wide range of topics, diving in to where you are just almost over your head. - Answers With Joe - Joe Scott covers many topics with a bend towards science appreciation. I would use his videos in late high school lessons if I were a teacher. - Knowing Better - History. Mostly American History, but it's a really deep dive. I like his delivery and his unapologetic way of discussing the really bad parts of history that people tend to sweep under the rug. - Half as Interesting - It's from Wendover, but short and funny. - Kyle Hill - The Internet's knockoff Thor, he explores deep science and physics in an approachable manner, especially when he is in "The Facility".

  COFFEE James Hoffman: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMb0O2CdPBNi-QqPk5T3gsQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMb0O2CdPBNi-QqPk5T3gsQ Deep dives into coffee machines, grinders, techniques, beans, roasting, etcetera with a healthy dose of scientific discipline to each. Lance Hendrick: https://www.youtube.com/c/LanceHedrick https://www.youtube.com/c/LanceHedrick As above, only WAY more detail. Sometimes more than you need. I found his reviews of low-priced (yet high quality) coffee grinders to have almost too much detail, but when I slogged through it I eventually worked out the perfect grinder for my needs and only ended up spending around $300-400, which frankly is amazing. FOOD ThatDudeCanCook: https://www.youtube.com/c/CookingwithSonny https://www.youtube.com/c/CookingwithSonny High end chef techniques that are explained in impressively accessible detail. My only problem with this channel is I now am always disappointed when I order steak out anywhere because I know I can cook it SO MUCH BETTER MYSELF. If you take nothing else from this list, watch his video on cooking filet mignon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDrkI9_EEe8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDrkI9_EEe8 If you follow the technique your mind will be blown. How to Cook That: https://www.youtube.com/c/HowToCookThat https://www.youtube.com/c/HowToCookThat Food scientist esoteric cooking techniques, ingredients, weird stuff, and quite mind-blowing investigations into the Russian content factories that pump out fake "5 minute life-hack" media. Chinese Cooking Demystified: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChineseCookingDemystified https://www.youtube.com/c/ChineseCookingDemystified American + Chinese couple living in Guangdong exploring authentic Chinese regional specialties. They do a great job of explaining the techniques and testing realistic alternatives for the more obscure ingredients that are simply unavailable outside of China. Blondie in China: https://www.youtube.com/c/BlondieinChina https://www.youtube.com/c/BlondieinChina Aussie girl fluent in Mandarin, living in and exploring China's regions, cuisines and discovering all the things about day-to-day life that we just don't see from outside. Always entertaining, informative and interesting. Tasting History: https://www.youtube.com/c/TastingHistory https://www.youtube.com/c/TastingHistory Recreating famous dishes from history and taste-testing them, with detailed backgrounds of the why, where, how, when and who for each. Xiao Ying Cuisine: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJJDD-Hy76jvUMRG-dpFkcw/featured https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJJDD-Hy76jvUMRG-dpFkcw/fea... New recipes almost every day. Dunno who she is, but they're always interesting dishes and mostly stuff I've never seen elsewhere. SCIENCE/NERDY STUFF Up and Atom: https://www.youtube.com/c/UpandAtom https://www.youtube.com/c/UpandAtom Physics, Quantum theory, Maths. Tom Scott: https://www.youtube.com/c/TomScottGo https://www.youtube.com/c/TomScottGo Really hard to categorise, but he does a great job exploring all manner of obscure things in detail. Julian O'Shea: https://www.youtube.com/c/JulianOShea https://www.youtube.com/c/JulianOShea Industrial design, architecture, city planning, Melbourne, obscure stuff. HARDWARE Jeff Geerling: https://www.youtube.com/c/JeffGeerling https://www.youtube.com/c/JeffGeerling Great projects in and around the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, maker electronics spaces. MUSIC Dub Monitor: https://www.youtube.com/c/DubMonitor https://www.youtube.com/c/DubMonitor Far too much detail about Dub Techno, minimalist techno. VISUAL Max Cooper: https://www.youtube.com/c/MaxCoopermax https://www.youtube.com/c/MaxCoopermax Thought-provoking and mind-bending visuals and excellent music. Max Hattler: https://www.youtube.com/user/maxhattler https://www.youtube.com/user/maxhattler Not that active any more, regrettably. But similar to above. What is it with people called Max and visuals?

The only channel I literally seen all the videos.

A lot of his claims seem outlandish for three seconds, but are actually very thought out. The guy's really sharp and did many podcasts throughout the pandemic, which was a treat.
