From the Story Producer:

We’ve got a new video for you today all about why we are so tired all time. We went deep on this one, talking to experts who not only study sleep but who are looking into how modernity is impacting various regions of the brain, and our research highlighted the tension between the amazing processes our brain has evolved to maintain our brain and the continuous stress modernity is placing on those systems. 

If you want to learn more on the subject, two books we referenced and would recommend reading are “Frontal Fatigue” by Mark Rego and “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker.

Why is it no longer possible to listen to the videos in Spanish? Will this be possible in the future?

johnnyharris

It will! It's new process that we've been experimenting with and we got some feedback from viewers that the Spanish dub voice was "cheesy" lol - so we're working to fix that and then we'll be back with dubs (and hopefully in more languages too).

Corpetit

Thanks for responding so quickly! In my opinion it wasn't at all cheesy and I miss it a lot. If you can ever re-enable this option I'll be very grateful. Your content is complex to understand and with a language I don't master... it becomes impossible to follow. Keep up the good work ;)

Lou Schonder

Ironically, I'm too sleepy to watch this right now! (But I AM looking forward to it! Once I hit 60, I slowed down a lot. It's annoying!)

Vishal Chanduri

I love the idea of you selling your maps

VaughnSC

I suspect the ‘cheesy sounding’ issue is probably unsolvable. Peninsular, River Plate, Colombian, Mexican and Caribbean enunciation will always cause griping by the other groups. There’s no ‘happy medium pan Hispanic broadcast standard’. But they’re all fully intelligible, pick one and stick to it. Eg were all already used to es-es and es-mx dubs.

Vag

Hey Johnny, really love the idea about maps. I think both original and copies should be available :)

Josh Webb

Your comment about selling your maps reminded me that I've been meaning to ask if a high quality PDF (or similar) version of your "All Maps are Wrong" poster is something you'd be willing to make available to your patrons? Patreoners? Backers? (Possibly posted at whatever tier you feel is appropriate. And, given your comment about selling your maps, maybe high resolution scans of other maps too could be something to flesh out the Correspondent tier perks.)

Greg Baker

On selling maps... I think you're underestimating the power of BF Skinner-style randomized rewards. I bet the return on "but the originals are reserved for my patrons. This one's going to the randomly selected Patron on screen" is 10x selling them.

James Lynch

I would bet much like to buy maps, I've been stuck on what to put up in frames around my new house and would love to get some really cool maps to decorate with.

Waggy103

Great video as always Johnny. Would love to buy scans and/or originals of your maps!

Dan

Agreed, definitely interested in purchasing original maps!

Madison McCoy

Loved the video- I always enjoy the animations :) I'd be interested in maps or scans for sure.
