I'm not sure how convenient Patreon's audio uploads are, so here's an mp3 download for backup.

In this episode, I talk about what I think is the value of analytical videos, and then go into a long musing on the idea of "seeing the world," with some personal stories sprinkled in.

Stuff I make reference to in this video:

 Is analysis still worth it for us? (or for you???) - PCP mini #a  

TUN: The Shandification of Fallout 

Ulillillia's website that I make reference to doesn't seem to be up anymore. He's still active on twitter  though, and has a site for his game. 

Sequelitis - Mega Man vs. Mega Man X 

Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. ALBUM REVIEW 

DAMN. - Kendrick Lamar's Casual Album? 

Kendrick Lamar: The Greatest Rapper Of All Time 

Last Word on Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. 

What I talked about with the "subjectivity is a conspiracy" bit can be observed in some videos by The School of Life. He touches on it briefly in this otherwise not-bad video , but goes more into it in other places. Also, Anthony Fantano responds to a guy spouting about this in this video.

I CONTROL WHAT YOU LIKE! 

I mention hanging out with Ninouh , who's an anime youtuber.

First time using the audio player via the Patreon app(iOS); it's similar to the podcast app, so it works fine.

Glad the Patreon app on Android has playback speed options, much better podcasts on the YouTube app.

Digi, it is possible to change one's opinion about a show after hearing an opinion, or a different perspective. I've had shows that I'd found average at best, dug into the nitty-gritty of it's themes, had someone explain them to me, and now I see the show in a completely different light. While a lot of people might say that about you, have you ever changed your opinion of a show after hearing a different perspective of it from another person?

I listen to 150+ podcasts you're among the 5 with decent show notes. Thank you kindly.

I get where you're coming from with the behind the McDonalds thing and its something I completely agree with. I really love my hometown of Huntington Beach and while I was in high school I was obsessed with seeing every nook and cranny in the city, so I would often just go on drive or walks to nowhere in particular. There's so many interesting things to see if you just go down a slightly different path than you normally do and I feel like I've seen a lot of the world from just my hometown because I've seen it through so many different perspectives( It also helps that its a huge tourist town). So yeah, basically I'm saying I agree with you and I encourage others to do the same because its cool.

Still not enough people in the world for a genuinely good MMO-themed anime. I think that's why I'm so anti-Malthusian. Imagine the diversity of culture and art humanity could achieve if we managed even a tiny fraction of Earth's 1000 trillion thermodynamic population limit: <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/file.PostFileLoader.html?id=56f1808b615e2706a2213e15&amp;assetKey=AS%3A342491141296130%401458667659445" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/file.PostFileLoader.html?id=56f1808b615e2706a2213e15&amp;assetKey=AS%3A342491141296130%401458667659445</a>

But don't you reckon the truth behind the Arab signal poster would be way less interesting than all the speculation? The Arab signal poster has an objective reality behind it, and a thorough analysis would bring that disappointing conclusion to the surface.

I can agree with the "subjectivity is a conspiracy" angle. There's nothing stopping architectural aesthetics from becoming a hard science, aside from the colossal amount of funding needed to support the research to get it there. It happened to processed food, corporations have engineered their products to produce supernormal stimuli. Basically they've made food so tasty it breaks our bodies hunger regulation system which has contributed to an obesity epidemic: <a href="http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/25/book-review-the-hungry-brain/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/25/book-review-the-hungry-brain/</a>

Digi, the issue with postmodernism isn't it's use in art. The issue with postmodernism is that people are trying to apply it to the sciences. That is what people take issue with.

Yo, I totally had one of those Behind the McDonalds moments like a few weeks ago. Due to a bunch of bullshit I ended up having to walk like six miles from my dentists office to my school. Now I go to Cal State Long Beach and my dentist is in seal beach and there's like four freeways and a river in between the dentist and school so I had to walk on this bike path next to where the 405 and the 22 meet, and I found the most beautiful place ever. I was like 20 feet from the freeway, and there was this huge field of blooming wildflowers away from the freeway and in the background there was a massive powerplant that was billowing smoke and perfectly framed by telephone towers and I'm probably one of like six people who actually saw this view even though like 50,000 people drive by it each day.

After an image search I'm not sure if the truth is better or worse than the speculation but I certainly found it funny.
