[@angelastagliani8383]

i don't know why this interviewer asks so many questions. he has all the answers.

[@oussamlarkem9407]

Why the hurry? It's RUclips, there is no time limit.

[@geaca3222]

38:07 I better get this right :D :D
40:10 It's as if you're trying to sort of model going to the moon by climbing up a stepladder 😂

[@DanielFinol]

Why does the interviewer have a microphone? (I'm at 15:36, maybe I'm overreacting)

[@patrickh7721]

I'd like Hinton to record an episode of unintentional asmr lol.

[@angelastagliani8383]

following your reasoning and thinking, doesn't make you stubborn. stubborn isn't how you do smart things. good thinking and reasoning is how ya do smart things.

[@benjaminandersson2572]

The interviewer is very annoying.

[@YouLoveMrFriendly]

Interviewer makes this almost unbearable

[@carlossegura403]

God damn it, the interviewer and his anxious commentary made it tough to listen.

[@tractatusviii7465]

Yeah, gotta say this is cringeworthy how often the guy feels the need to chip in. A 5-year old's social awareness.

[@patrickh7721]

The interviewer is just annoying!!!

[@angelastagliani8383]

those religious ideas are as sophisticated as the science ideas. why wouldn't they be. it is the same men coughing up both. the science ideas put on the table by these men are nothing all that sophisticated.
