Hi Fellas, Really sorry for not being around for the past few weeks but I've been incredibly busy. Firstly I had an experiment for about a week at a nuclear reactor in france (looking at the aqueous structure of the acetate ion.... its got lots of biological implications). While fun, interesting, and INCREDIBLY busy, and also effectively tied my hands when I got my twitter account suspended. I sent twitter an email explaining that I thought the suspension was unjustified (on Sunday this week), but have not heard back from them since. I've also got the next Patreon supported video well on its way to production. Its a reply to Stefan Moleneux.... the anarcho capitalist. They guy says Soooo many crazy things, its hard to keep up. I hope to have that up this weekend. Im also well aware that I owe you all a hangout. This weekend will be tough, but Im aiming for the weekend after that for another hangout :-)

I was hoping that my money would go toward science videos. I'm frankly not happy funding videos that anyone on YouTube can produce for nothing.

I'm really sorry about that Adam. I've just done a quick summary of the last 40 or so videos i've done. The rough break down is Science ~ 17 anti SJW/ feminism 17 (inc. ban bossy, 'like a girl' etc) anti religion 9 Rough numbers are less than half go into the Patreon feed, and all the videos that do take significant work. In an ideal world, I would be all with you on the interesting science videos. Sadly its not an ideal world, and arguably already we have seen how social justice warriors are parasites that can very quickly render a movement impotent. Stefan Moleneux has a significant following, and advocates that people who do not ascribe to his narrow political ideas should disown their families. I think the guy needs to be taken to task on the open market place of ideas. I hope that more fully explains my position. In any event I am v. grateful to you, and all others who support/ have supported the work produced on this channel.

GAH! so much stupid in the world! Aint 'DNews' meant to be science news from the discovery channel?

on youtube: Thorium Summary - "Th" Do you think this is true? I am convinced should I be?

on paper, there is not that much difference between using thorium and uranium for fuel. The principal problem is developing nuclear technologies is v. expensive. The main difference in practice is bns of dollars were put into uranium because it also has real military applications. Basically the investment was made for uranium, not thorium. There are large stockpiles of uranium, and we have a much better feel of how to build uranium powerplants. -Personally I think they oversell its advantages, but not crazily so. Nuclear Power is a pretty decent way of generating energy without a carbon footprint. If this help people put the nuclear boogie man to bed.... I'd call it a win! :-)
