I have to just say, as interesting as the videos are, The Thought Emporium has some... I guess questionable ethics. They've been repeatedly critiqued for overuse of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in their experiments, and they dismiss it by saying antibiotic-resistant bacteria is already everywhere (yes it is, and the problem is going to get a lot worse if people promote using that as carte blanche to do whatever), and openly discuss how they skirt animal experimentation rules using technicalities like cooking the fish you harvested live brain matter from (you can argue whether the rules are too stringent, but treating ethics as some annoyance to hack around is blatantly missing the point). This doesn't detract from his shopping recommendations, but it does speak to the sort of concerns people have with the way the space operates generally. It's very "myopic engineer sees problem that needs fixing".
