Makes sense why so many struggle at school, the lack of control of what you learn, it doesn't matter it it's interesting and you're operating on someone else's time.
Exactly. I know someone who currently knows and can talk 8 languages. I've known the guy for like 8 (almost 9 after 2023 is over) years now as he was a childhood friend of mine, he struggled to learn languages on school because of the exact stuff teached on this video. He (and I) learned all of the languages we know from a source that isn't the school system because its simply inefficient at teaching and doesn't work on 90% of people at a good enough speed Its incredible how someone can learn a ton of languages in an insane speed (and to learn other skills and etc) when it's efficient. I still don't know that many languages but the work my friend has done learning was incredible

Didnt realise I was learning things this way before I've watched this video, I've always been good with learning things I'm interested /passionate about and never paid attention to how I actually learn thigns. This put things into perspective for me and helped detect flaws I had in my current "method", i.e I've never considered "infernal distractions" such as stess and perfectionism. I have ADHD and that massively affects how much focus I can allocate to certain tasks and I always blamed it for said lack of focus. Now that I'm aware that my mental state can affect my learning I will do a better job at negating its effects. Also need to keep my perfectionism in check. Awesome video! Did not expect much, and was pleasantly surprised. Hope your channel will do well.
Since you said you have ADHD and you're a perfectionist, I've been wanting to ask you how do you manage them both? I have the exact same issue where ADHD doesn't let me focus but being a perfectionist, I just can't let things go...I HAVE TO keep going until I ace the task (high expectations from myself) This leads me to burnout many a times... Would love to know how you manage it.. Cheers

I watch one video of yours so many times that your voice is ingrained in my brain and my mind gets extra motivated and pumped when I listen your videos
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,307 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
that's incredible man, you already did the hard part of starting a yt channel which is to get your 1st 1000 subs. You're on your way to success I'd say
@@Error-33 Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my RUclips channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a RUclipsr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this RUclips thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
Learning is a process, and what we gain from it matters a lot. That’s why I’ve decided to learn from someone I aspire to be like, rather than from general teachers🐨
So in short, choose a subject or skill, plan on how you will learn and in what order. study without distractions and practice constantly to eliminate weaknesses. I'll give it a try. very good video as it is to the point.
Don't get me wrong, what he did was still pretty impressive. But if you go down this rabbit hole you will see that Scott Young maybe didn't even pass that MIT course and he just did it to advertise himself. * He defined what it meant to pass and "learn" MIT's curriculum * He set the passing grade to be unrealistically low * He set passing to be unrepresentative of taking a class. MIT's classes are very hands-on, omitting the lab components is a *huge* difference. * He leniently graded himself * He did not take advanced subjects * He passed his own extremely generous definition of what it means to pass, which he uses to justify his statements that he "learned an MIT degree." In the TEDx video he mentions the pitfalls of his approach early on, dwells on his method and finishes by saying that he "learned an MIT degree." By glossing over the pitfalls at the beginning, he simultaenously acknowledges and shifts attention away from *how much he didn't do,* and concentrates on his successes. He *still* advertises his success in completing a degree 4x faster and at 1/100th the cost of what an MIT student would do, even though he himself shows how it isn't comparable. This was all a short version of what Andres Romero, an actual student who finished MIT, said in the his Quora post. I hold with his opinion and I also want to add my part to it. Getting a degree is worthless if you don't put that degree to use. You want to learn how to make PCB's, Videogames, Animation, Music? Start by doing it. And don't start with something hard, start with something easy and after you finish that try something a bit harder over and over again until you are able to actually make something hard. That's how it works for games, for drawing, for learning how to sing at guitar, for learning a language. All you have to do is start.
Language has a lot of aspects and each of them acts like a building block to the next one. I agree that we need to create a roadmap to know these aspects and how we can learn them simultaneously.
I had learned 4 entire subjects in a month to switch schools This is a system i created for myself while doing them +reread this list +Find keywords of what are you learning +find everything required before starting -Find tasks depending on need -Pick whatever you can do fastest +Break up subject into as smallest tasks as possible -Focus on the task dont randomly switch what your doing -Make it as so your making it for somebody else then you -Always try to make it representative so you can seek accomplishment -Do not let others dictate YOU have to be the one to ask +Make presentations and show them at the end of the day -DO NOT get focused on one task for too long -FIND YOURSELF ONE FUN TASK for example make something funny or something about yourself -Create structures of content then create structure to define content (this basically means try to categorize everything instead of learning it) +Seek challengesand talk with teachers +review achievements
Those were only learning protocols additionally you wanna: - quit any bad habit - motivate yourself - engaged in unconstrained self talk to deal with problems (In my case shyzo text file where chatted with myself to better focus on the problems)
Can I just say I really appreciate that you didn't put any music in the video!! To many videos nowadays are so unfocused & difficult to comprehend due to the deafening impact of too-loud background music that adds no real value to the contents of the video. Glad you didn't fall into that trap & hope you continue with videos as excellent as this one
Amazing video man! Decent quality and very valuable. One tip, try slowing down your speech a bit. (Even 5% is fine maybe?) It will definitely help both us and you with the growth!
'Directness' was what I was doing, when I have a urge learn something. That's when I learn the more practical knowledge that makes you motivated to do more. Immediate 'feedback' is also important to modify your initial frameworks in next cycle of Directness, Practice and Drill.
These are the videos you click on and save due to the high level of learning to learn which will propel you in any aspect of life very valuable information
I would like to point out the difference between learning something like information vs learning a sport/body movement, for example, constant drilling in a sport like tennis wouldn't result in the same level of skill acquisition as playing against an actual opponent on the other hand constantly "drilling" words and speech patterns can get you a long way in language learning
Thank you for sharing your insights and the journey! It's amazing how self-reflection can shed light on our learning process and help us identify areas for improvement. Being aware of the impact of mental state and perfectionism is a great step towards overcoming challenges. Keep up the positive mindset and continue to grow and learn!
So just focus my attention? Just don't get distracted? The video is good with some great points; as with anything in life I will have to customise it for my own capabilities. I have spend close to 50 years just trying to focus, telling myself just to do it- and then feeling like crap because I could not just do it. I've spent the last year and a 1/2 learning more about myself, what I can do, and what I can't. I've done what I can to minimize and eliminate distractions, I moved out of home decades ago to avoid fratricide. So when I do get distracted I just have to have tools and strategies in place to get my focus back to the task at hand, or know its not going to happen right now and so at least try and divert as best I can. The pre learning, or planning stage is good, setting a target time will help reduce procrastination rabbit holes. The identify weakness, contextual & targeted learning, bring sub=topic up, then check what is now your new weak area, or loop again if required , asses weakness & strength loop is a great approach. Possible weak areas may already have presented itself in pre learning phase. It is this iteration step that I believe will be most valuable for me. Anyway, I have waffled on when I Just meant to say thanks for a great Vid, every day should be a learning day. Cheers
for everything we learn there is a specific scenario or set of scenarios that we are training for, whatever direction our learning is directed towards we need to gear a huge proportion of our study time towards practicing in the same exact situation or as close an approximation as we can get, so make sure your study techniques never steer too far from the study context you wish to use your newfound understanding in, if you don't do this you'll end up wasting a lot of time and you wont get as close to your goals anyway
Man, great information. Also, you use your voice, tonality very well, in an influencing manner (in a good way) What materials, videos or books did you study for that if you did and would be so kind to share?
Oh my this is how I just do things. I want to play the banjo, I currently do not know how. While I pratice harmonica and the music theory to make my time on the banjo easier. I got a book about the history of the banjo. It's got long african roots turns out. I feel what you have put down here, is an much easier way for me to do what I normally do before I try something new. This time I should actually write it down. If you say you are going to do something and do it you are being honest. If you write it down and do it, that's prophecy.
Pre-Learning can be a difficult task to accomplish if you're learning something from scratch. Because if you don't know what you don't know, then you'll likely end up creating a tangled web of knowledge that you can't unscramble... like the tangled web of photos and paperwork in Kevin Spacey's "A Beautiful Mind".
WOW It just occurred to me that I use this way of learning subconsciously to learn stuff in videogames. Say I want to be better at parkour in Minecraft. 1 I look at some tutorials and RUclips videos about it and then I think what I should do and in what order 2 I practise parkour “problems” and check what I can’t do 3 I practise the one thing I can’t do and then 2 and then 3 again and again. 4 Now I have somewhat mastered this gaming skill and now just by looking at parkour routes I can tell if they are beatable or not.
Finally another good youtube recommendation. Liked and subbed. Good information bro. Let me incorporate this idea, focused learning, direction and drilling (to get specific skill which is weak to certain level) so as to progress toward our ultimate goal. Through practicing in scenario or close to result, self reflection, course adjustment along way inorder keep refocusing and increasing dexterity, I should be able to see stark improvement theoritically. This is my current take away from video, I will apply for learning japanese for next 30 days and see. However i should also give room of error and overcoming some biases. thanks for video.
Pre-learning~ 10% of total time or less. | L> planing a hike(example) how much food water route etc. ⚠️hard deadline to not procrastinate⚠️ ⚠️use techniques like a test⚠️ | L> For example essays instead of flash cards ⚠️practice something close to the test⚠️ | L> Practice test essays and homework(xtra homework) ⚠️finding weakspots⚠️ | L> spend time doing direct practice, isolate the weakness and drill on that subject. Rinse and repeat untill you have mastered ur desired skill. These are my notes over the video save this for later👌🏻
and if you just do the mindfulness and reflection part of "focus" you will come up with a much better strategy and also do what is most appropriate for your unique situation. The rest is a waste of time. Refine mindfulness techniques. It will also completely change how you learn - it will allow you to learn things you could not even learn before. It will give you talent.
Imagine being my little brother at 3am staring at the double barrel of my shotgun "So I was a watching this interesting youtube video about learning..."
EXAMPLE Learning a programming language: 1. Pre-learning: 1.1 What books/internet websites use 1.2 What to do if something is cancelled/breaks down (e. g. PC breaks) 1.3 When to def start learning: Now for this semester, .... 2. Learning 2.1 How to get distractions like your brother away from your PC 2.2 Practice the scenario like for an actual project 2.3 Drilling with specific practice (practicing I/O streams that are needed for the project) 3. Expertise 3.1 Goal is to think innovative: Having a specific trick to simplify nested A ? B : (C ? D : ....) statements
please expand on this, this can be truly phenomenal knowledge to gain. Perhaps not even this subject but i would love a longer video, this is just a video that looks like a shortform of a book, no offense but I don't see too much meat here!

I watch one video of yours so many times that your voice is ingrained in my brain and my mind gets extra motivated and pumped when I listen your videos
i already do all of this... i just don't have many ambitions, nor motivation to pursue anything :') thanks for the video, i love how concise it is
Bro Didn't waste A Single Seconds ,
Gets straight to points
Real helpfull information
Applying knowledge in the real world always helped abstract concepts make sense to me. Drilling in particular is powerful beyond anything.
For an unsolicited advice this one turned to be quite handy
I am up at 3am watching this rather than resting to LEARN at school tomorrow this better be worth it
Great delivery, well structured, full of useful information. Cheers
You always make learning feel effortless.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,307 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
that's incredible man, you already did the hard part of starting a yt channel which is to get your 1st 1000 subs. You're on your way to success I'd say
@@Error-33 Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my RUclips channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a RUclipsr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this RUclips thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
@@nathananderson8720 I just read the reply and man that is inspiring. Great to see people succeeding and improving themselves for sure
Instructions unclear, I have eliminated my little brother yet my focus has not increased
Learning is a process, and what we gain from it matters a lot. That’s why I’ve decided to learn from someone I aspire to be like, rather than from general teachers🐨
Crazy enough, I figured out many points in your video already, like what's intuition, but you summed them up very well!
Just found your channel searching about ultralearning. Thanks for this video! I loved the name of your channel too!
It would've take hours for others to give as much information as was given here in 6 minutes. Great work!
So in short, choose a subject or skill, plan on how you will learn and in what order. study without distractions and practice constantly to eliminate weaknesses. I'll give it a try. very good video as it is to the point.
This is the single best video I have ever seen on this platform and I am not exaggerating
Don't get me wrong, what he did was still pretty impressive. But if you go down this rabbit hole you will see that Scott Young maybe didn't even pass that MIT course and he just did it to advertise himself.
* He defined what it meant to pass and "learn" MIT's curriculum
* He set the passing grade to be unrealistically low
* He set passing to be unrepresentative of taking a class. MIT's classes are very hands-on, omitting the lab components is a *huge* difference.
* He leniently graded himself
* He did not take advanced subjects
* He passed his own extremely generous definition of what it means to pass, which he uses to justify his statements that he "learned an MIT degree."
In the TEDx video he mentions the pitfalls of his approach early on, dwells on his method and finishes by saying that he "learned an MIT degree." By glossing over the pitfalls at the beginning, he simultaenously acknowledges and shifts attention away from *how much he didn't do,* and concentrates on his successes. He *still* advertises his success in completing a degree 4x faster and at 1/100th the cost of what an MIT student would do, even though he himself shows how it isn't comparable.
This was all a short version of what Andres Romero, an actual student who finished MIT, said in the his Quora post.
I hold with his opinion and I also want to add my part to it. Getting a degree is worthless if you don't put that degree to use. You want to learn how to make PCB's, Videogames, Animation, Music? Start by doing it. And don't start with something hard, start with something easy and after you finish that try something a bit harder over and over again until you are able to actually make something hard. That's how it works for games, for drawing, for learning how to sing at guitar, for learning a language. All you have to do is start.
A long time follower of Scott H Young.
Happy to see this.
Language has a lot of aspects and each of them acts like a building block to the next one. I agree that we need to create a roadmap to know these aspects and how we can learn them simultaneously.
I had learned 4 entire subjects in a month to switch schools
This is a system i created for myself while doing them
+reread this list
+Find keywords of what are you learning
+find everything required before starting
-Find tasks depending on need
-Pick whatever you can do fastest
+Break up subject into as smallest tasks as possible
-Focus on the task dont randomly switch what your doing
-Make it as so your making it for somebody else then you
-Always try to make it representative so you can seek accomplishment
-Do not let others dictate YOU have to be the one to ask
+Make presentations and show them at the end of the day
-DO NOT get focused on one task for too long
-FIND YOURSELF ONE FUN TASK for example make something funny or something about yourself
-Create structures of content then create structure to define content (this basically means try to categorize everything instead of learning it)
+Seek challengesand talk with teachers
+review achievements
Those were only learning protocols additionally you wanna:
- quit any bad habit
- motivate yourself
- engaged in unconstrained self talk to deal with problems
(In my case shyzo text file where chatted with myself to better focus on the problems)
First i thought its straight up clickbait but well you got my attention. What you are telling me rn sounds reasonable.
Got recommended this and the comments are showing positive signs so I’ll be watching this,hoping to get valuable information.
Thank you for going straight to the point instead of dragging on in the beginning
Can I just say I really appreciate that you didn't put any music in the video!!
To many videos nowadays are so unfocused & difficult to comprehend due to the deafening impact of too-loud background music that adds no real value to the contents of the video. Glad you didn't fall into that trap & hope you continue with videos as excellent as this one
Amazing video man! Decent quality and very valuable. One tip, try slowing down your speech a bit. (Even 5% is fine maybe?) It will definitely help both us and you with the growth!
Change your playback speed. You can slow it down if you need to
I unconscioysly used this method for years, simply because i was lazy and was the quickedt way to get stuff done. Its great!
This is honestly probably one of the best vidoes I have watched on this topic
This was way better than I expected! I hope you get a MILLION subs just from this vid!
'Directness' was what I was doing, when I have a urge learn something. That's when I learn the more practical knowledge that makes you motivated to do more. Immediate 'feedback' is also important to modify your initial frameworks in next cycle of Directness, Practice and Drill.
These are the videos you click on and save due to the high level of learning to learn which will propel you in any aspect of life very valuable information
I refuse to believe this was written by a human being
@@DrevorReal you are welcome
Great advice!! This is why it is so important to have an experienced instructor when learning guitar.
absolute bonkers value!! Wait to see what I do with this newfound system! THANK YOU!
"For maths or engineering it's almost always how to solve problems and solving problems"
Relatable 100%
I would like to point out the difference between learning something like information vs learning a sport/body movement, for example, constant drilling in a sport like tennis wouldn't result in the same level of skill acquisition as playing against an actual opponent on the other hand constantly "drilling"
words and speech patterns can get you a long way in language learning
Thank you for sharing your insights and the journey! It's amazing how self-reflection can shed light on our learning process and help us identify areas for improvement. Being aware of the impact of mental state and perfectionism is a great step towards overcoming challenges. Keep up the positive mindset and continue to grow and learn!
I just have to say, I didn't expect much from this video but its really well made. Love your content. Subscribed
I watched this video in 2x speed to double my ultralearning
The fact that this video is 6 mins is amazing
Thank you
So just focus my attention? Just don't get distracted?
The video is good with some great points; as with anything in life I will have to customise it for my own capabilities. I have spend close to 50 years just trying to focus, telling myself just to do it- and then feeling like crap because I could not just do it.
I've spent the last year and a 1/2 learning more about myself, what I can do, and what I can't.
I've done what I can to minimize and eliminate distractions, I moved out of home decades ago to avoid fratricide.
So when I do get distracted I just have to have tools and strategies in place to get my focus back to the task at hand, or know its not going to happen right now and so at least try and divert as best I can.
The pre learning, or planning stage is good, setting a target time will help reduce procrastination rabbit holes.
The identify weakness, contextual & targeted learning, bring sub=topic up, then check what is now your new weak area, or loop again if required , asses weakness & strength loop is a great approach.
Possible weak areas may already have presented itself in pre learning phase.
It is this iteration step that I believe will be most valuable for me.
Anyway, I have waffled on when I Just meant to say thanks for a great Vid, every day should be a learning day.
Cheers
I have a hard time learning but an easy time adapting old information to a new situation.
That one video that is pure gold that you didn't know you needed!. Good going. Subbed!
for everything we learn there is a specific scenario or set of scenarios that we are training for, whatever direction our learning is directed towards we need to gear a huge proportion of our study time towards practicing in the same exact situation or as close an approximation as we can get, so make sure your study techniques never steer too far from the study context you wish to use your newfound understanding in, if you don't do this you'll end up wasting a lot of time and you wont get as close to your goals anyway
I have never felt the urge to dislike a video so fast since 2016 commentaries.
That’s okay! If it’s not your cup of tea that’s fine
Man, great information.
Also, you use your voice, tonality very well, in an influencing manner (in a good way)
What materials, videos or books did you study for that if you did and would be so kind to share?
Me suscribo por el cautivante acento britanico.
Nice
Thank you! This video need so much more views!
this is Gem of a video
Your channel has proven a pleasant discovery, my friend
Oh my this is how I just do things. I want to play the banjo, I currently do not know how. While I pratice harmonica and the music theory to make my time on the banjo easier. I got a book about the history of the banjo. It's got long african roots turns out. I feel what you have put down here, is an much easier way for me to do what I normally do before I try something new. This time I should actually write it down. If you say you are going to do something and do it you are being honest. If you write it down and do it, that's prophecy.
Ahh man! Actually useful video. One can only find such a video among thousand others
Pre-Learning can be a difficult task to accomplish if you're learning something from scratch. Because if you don't know what you don't know, then you'll likely end up creating a tangled web of knowledge that you can't unscramble... like the tangled web of photos and paperwork in Kevin Spacey's "A Beautiful Mind".
I like how no musical instrument/sound is used in this video,other RUclipsrs should try and do this too.
exactly understanding when you said "eliminating younger brother" , those shits do take all of the focus
So Scott Young discovered my learning system, nice
'Eliminating your younger brother.'
me: *looks at my little sister*
🔫🗿
Using Scott Young’s system to learn how to use Scott Young’s system to learn how to learn more efficiently…
Thanks
Thank you very much! That’s very kind of you
upcoming teacher says, well explained
WOW It just occurred to me that I use this way of learning subconsciously to learn stuff in videogames. Say I want to be better at parkour in Minecraft.
1 I look at some tutorials and RUclips videos about it and then I think what I should do and in what order
2 I practise parkour “problems” and check what I can’t do
3 I practise the one thing I can’t do and then 2 and then 3 again and again.
4 Now I have somewhat mastered this gaming skill and now just by looking at parkour routes I can tell if they are beatable or not.
can you do a triple neo yet
@@codenamepyro2350 No lol 😂
Finally another good youtube recommendation. Liked and subbed. Good information bro. Let me incorporate this idea, focused learning, direction and drilling (to get specific skill which is weak to certain level) so as to progress toward our ultimate goal. Through practicing in scenario or close to result, self reflection, course adjustment along way inorder keep refocusing and increasing dexterity, I should be able to see stark improvement theoritically. This is my current take away from video, I will apply for learning japanese for next 30 days and see. However i should also give room of error and overcoming some biases. thanks for video.
Thanks bro really useful
Random Recommendations But Best Video Of My Day Worth Millions Subs keep it up
Great video, concise and useful. You will go very far, so keep it up.
I want to learn mechanics in order to maintain myself, so this is solid advice. 👍
Pre-learning~ 10% of total time or less.
|
L> planing a hike(example) how much food water route etc.
⚠️hard deadline to not procrastinate⚠️
⚠️use techniques like a test⚠️
|
L> For example essays instead of flash cards
⚠️practice something close to the test⚠️
|
L> Practice test essays and homework(xtra homework)
⚠️finding weakspots⚠️
|
L> spend time doing direct practice, isolate the weakness and drill on that subject. Rinse and repeat untill you have mastered ur desired skill.
These are my notes over the video save this for later👌🏻
Power
Crazy precise engaging and above all really informative. Looking forward to you blowing up soon :)
The yong brother thing killed me 😂
thanks for subtitle, iam french speaker and it is very helpful
and if you just do the mindfulness and reflection part of "focus" you will come up with a much better strategy and also do what is most appropriate for your unique situation.
The rest is a waste of time. Refine mindfulness techniques. It will also completely change how you learn - it will allow you to learn things you could not even learn before. It will give you talent.
Best spent 6 minutes in a while, this video's content was obvious but mostly ignored by many people thinking it's basic.
Imagine being my little brother at 3am staring at the double barrel of my shotgun
"So I was a watching this interesting youtube video about learning..."
EXAMPLE Learning a programming language:
1. Pre-learning:
1.1 What books/internet websites use
1.2 What to do if something is cancelled/breaks down (e. g. PC breaks)
1.3 When to def start learning: Now for this semester, ....
2. Learning
2.1 How to get distractions like your brother away from your PC
2.2 Practice the scenario like for an actual project
2.3 Drilling with specific practice (practicing I/O streams that are needed for the project)
3. Expertise
3.1 Goal is to think innovative: Having a specific trick to simplify nested A ? B : (C ? D : ....) statements
2-What we're going to learn
2-What order to learn it
3-How we'll learn it
Worth watching before my exam 😮
being quite is a power itsef talk when its needed keep awy from distractions
please expand on this, this can be truly phenomenal knowledge to gain. Perhaps not even this subject but i would love a longer video, this is just a video that looks like a shortform of a book, no offense but I don't see too much meat here!
You just won a new sub. Good job.
