"I think there is something that humans add to art that no algorithm can do" I think that one of these things is actually interaction with the fandom. I think that a significant part of being a Cosmere fan is interacting with Brandon himself, and that's not really something that can be replaced with a machine, or at least not a machine that wouldn't be sophisticated enough to be considered a person it it's own right.
I listened to this earlier, and when Brandon said "Silverlight was, once upon a time, a bunch of dragon palaces" I had to pause it to take a moment, and didn't end up resuming until now, just letting that nugget swim around in my head. I was like, *what are you talking about, how are you saying this so casually, Brandon!?* Now watching it back and seeing the reactions the others had is super gratifying, lmao. I'm glad we all had similar reactions.
@@LuqmaaanDhaqane Lift is 15 years old during Rhythm of War. She went to the Nightwatcher and asked not to change intending for her to stop her from aging, but she didn’t do that. Instead, Cultivation made her able to change food into Lifelight. Lift only thinks of herself as being forever 10, but right from her first interlude Wyndle makes it clear that she is actually aging, she was just in denial about it.
Brandon decided that it was early christmas and so he started giving us gifts left and right. Brandon, thank you. A big thank you to the whole team involved, keep up the awesome work!

I listened to the audio version first, but I had to come watch the video version to see everyone's facial expressions to all of these bombshells dropping. It did not disappoint
31:14 It occurs (especially with Brandon's namedropping the term "ansible") that stuff for the space age has been seeded throughout the cosmere for quite a long time. The easy sublight fuel that is the zephyr spores is but the latest addition to the suite of space-age conveniences, joining the Metalborn FTL and the Tamu Kek/Seon ansible.
Listened to the dragon section twice but what’s the other communication means other than seons, tamukek? I couldn’t quite make it out and I haven’t even picked up on them ever
We tried to hit a good balance of stuff we thought he would actually answer. I feel like plot questions will just be "see the next book" but I suppose it depends what you mean exactly! -Eric
Exception to the "noble families are terrible" rule: Genghis Khan was devoted to his family. Temujin rescued his wife from her abductors, took the child she bore afterward as her own and never permitted anyone to treat Joshi as anything but legitimate, and kept peace among his contentious children throughout his life.
All true, but one of the tragedies with nobility and kings are that you might get an amazing one, once. That's great and all, but what about that person's children, or children's children? And so on.
Oh, wow. When the AI question came up, I was sure it would be about AI existential risk. With the giant Awakened computer blindly following its Command, and ending up using the people who created it as raw materials. It took me a minute to realise the question wasn't a reference to the computer in the story, but to the art. 😅
Thank you, Matt! I'm so glad he asked about having a dark-eyed character critique the eye based caste system on Roshar. It's part of why I defended Moash for as long as I did. Really hoping SA5 satisfies that need.
I really really really want the little girl from the epilogue of Oathbringer to be a POV character in stormlight era 2. A) she's definitely broken, and thus her spiritual web is open for a bond. B) hoid says he knows where he needs to be, but not why he has to be there. What if even he's mistaken about his purpose in the city? What if his whole purpose was to save that little girl, who'll go on to become a great saviour
I'm legitimately upset that there's no flesh aether. I totally get it, but it would be so fun and gross and would make for an interesting form of "healing" as opposed to the nice and clean healing that Knights Radiant get
Old school RuneQuest players may have encountered the scariest of sorcery spells: Form/set Flesh. Which would let a sorcerer reshape living flesh into whatever form they can visualize.
Did this video wind up having Tress and Yumi spoilers? Just got in 4 mins to the warning and figured I should ask before continuing on. While I’m at it, are there White Sand spoilers? Caught up otherwise. Thanks!
If investiture can have mass, and since it gains more mass the further it gets from its planet, shouldnt a lightweaver in stratospheric space act as a green lantern?
I want to hear more about Brandon's philosophy of the use of the fundamental theorem or arithmetic (I.e. how integers break into prime numbers multiplied together). I don't know if it's intentional, but he uses divisibility quite interestingly in his books. Mistborn is a series of powers of two. Stormlight is five and two. Yumi was seven and two (see number of yokihijo, apologies on spelling). Tress is 3s and 2s. Highly composite worlds seem to have more complexity, nuance, and mystery, in my view. Maybe he's spoke on this, but it's one of my favorite properties in his books. Edit: also I've never seen y'all's channel before and I love Matt's expressions when hearing something he didnt know. They absolutely mirror mine.
Sorry I also have to say, I want to see the world Hoid is from having the property of 24 (i.e. 2, 2, 3, 3) in it's magic system as that is a very highly composite number.
As a person with a math's masters, I've never felt Brandon's really put a ton of thought into his numerology in a deep mathematical sense, so I feel like this is not intentional at all. -Eric
@@17thShard agreed that it's always felt somewhat surface level, but I've always had a weird intuition that the difficulty of the power associated with various worlds and shards moving between one another came from some inherent numerical incompatibility, like resonant frequencies a la descriptions of stormlight in Rhythm of War.
I'm almost more confused that the D'Denir statues aren't just Soulcast humans. Trying to figure out how you can coat bones in complete stone wrapping that's so thorough everyone assumes they're sculptures, and yet has joints and articulation so that the statues can actually move around like people, is really hard for me to wrap my head around.
Presumably Vasher Awakened the stone and forced it into the human form, then re-inhaled the Breath involved. He had thousands of Breaths at this point, after all.
I saw the Commisioner Marasi idea floated around after lost metal. I still wonder then if Kelsier is running round like batman taking things into his own hands on scadrial. Is a tough elderly Marasi going to be still around constantly running into ghostblood activity?
As of right now i Picture Era 1 like Beserk style and then in Era 2 Elendel is like Gotham City but the roughs is like Indiana Jones/Back to the future 3 teritory. The books run a similar style. Alloy Indiana 1 Shadows is Dark Knight rising Bands is very indie I still cant quite figure out lost metal it has elements of batman with the raids on gang stong holds and then Wax/batman shows up goofy rouges galery. But it sort of twists into something new by the end
i was pretty sure it was honor spren used to make half shard. Taravangian says it like. "the spren inside could make a new radiant" or something on we know honorspren are things that are used to bond stuff (like to bond axii of the shield together to resist a shard blow) but who am i to say.
8:12 Isn't Marasi, of all the Era 2 crew with the exception of MeLaan, uniquely suited to live long enough to cameo in Era 3? So we might still see her regardless of her affiliation.
Wait, who’s Frost? Never mind. Ima just go read up on Cosmere dragons. Too many questions. Also, that bit about stabbing spore eaters with silver has left me wondering about the possibility of aether werewolves.
I'm not a Reddit user, but I became interested: what is this what they are talking about Reddit? I checked, and there was something about finding a new platform, so some sort of controversy seems to be going on.
Reddit had an API that allowed third party apps to flourish, advertisements, premium and so on happened and reddit has started charging for API use. Dev of a popular 3rd party app says it would cost 20 mn /year for him to keep the app running.
30:54 I mean no offence by this but what word is Veronica saying here? The response is "thats one of the few ways to communicate between planets pre technology." Just trying to understand what is being discussed by the response. Edit: okay it was said again later. Tamokek I think. for anyone else who didnt get it just keep watching ;)
Argent…I made a baked potato. And that led me to thoughts on aluminum. I microwave them and then put them in foil to preserve the hot potato…so not only does aluminum neutralize investiture but does it also store it in a way like a copper mind. Is this the key to the cosmere??? This is a half joke half holdup, am I thinking about it too much and should just make a hat out of that foil
I don't think the metaphor *fully* holds, because Connection is not like heat coming out of a baked potato, it's like strings connecting it to other potatoes, to people, and to the forces of the universe. So by wrapping the potato in aluminum you might be cutting those Connections off, it's not super clear. It's possible that things work the way you envision them, but it's also fully possible that they don't. I approve of drawing inspiration from food though!
@@17thShard It was only meant as a joke anyway and as much fun as it would be to see another "Who's That Cosmere Character" with Brandon, asking him questions about the cosmere is even better.
RE: Community platforms: Dragonsteel Lemmy instance! Reddit style format and not beholden to the corps. Certainly some upkeep costs, but just do another kickstarter!
Yeah, I've personally been all about the fediverse lately. I am skeptical of Dragonsteel doing anything *quickly* (and, to an extent, I wouldn't want them to - the cost for companies to do things is larger than the cost for individuals, so slow and steady often wins the race), but Lemmy is certainly a viable option

@@TheAgamidaexunderrated comment buddy
Dragons are born looking like humans and change to dragon form in puberty. This sounds like it suggests Lift will turn out to be a dragon.
That reminds me of the Koloss in Era 2
Whoooa nice thought. You think Cultivation is her mother?
Lift isn't young she's old but she just can't grow thus of visiting the nightwatcher
It's a curse

“Book on Threnody” makes me so happy. Such a great world!
