Hey all,

Here's the latest video.

It's the remake of the video I took down. I took out the erroneous part about hamilton's rule but it's also remade to be a better video in a number of other ways, from production value to the fact that I use many sim runs for the discussions rather than running a single sim and asking the audience to trust me that I picked a representative run. I find that latter part important because it's better modeling of a proper attitude of inquiry for those in the audience that might be on the younger side (which, presumably thanks to the blobs, is a significant fraction). It also took extra time, of course, but overall, I'm glad I remade it. And thankfully, the same underlying simulation structure and animations will apply to the future Hamilton's rule video.

As a reminder or notification for new folks, I'm not charging patrons for this remake.

Thanks to the insider-tier folks who offered feedback on the early-access version. You all helped make it better.

And thanks to you all for your generous support.

Justin
