New Video Sneak Peek
Added 2023-09-09 09:22:23 +0000 UTCHello wonderful people!
We have a new video coming out sometime early next week. This is *almost* the final version -- there's a few animations and tiny script changes left to impliment.
Could you please have a look and let us know your thoughts?

Also, we're struggling with title/thumbail ideas for this one -- if you have any good ones, please comment!
As always, thank you for your support and feedback!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend,
Petr on behalf of the entire Ve team

Your head backwards space is so dark because white hasn’t been created there. It covers all the heavenly bodies in this part of them. Also, there’s another name for it but when you guys said it makes you think it’s outside YOU and in one little spot,, that defeats the purpose of you understanding Infinity see.

2023-09-12 17:59:42 +0000 UTCHow did I not notice it before? 9:04 - how was the socket attached to the rachet? There should be a square peg with spring-loaded ball that the socket attaches to. No wonder it fell down...

2023-09-10 18:23:34 +0000 UTC"How I learned to start worrying about Broken Arrows" Seriously tho.. I can't quite decide how I feel about the "close shaves" joke in the transition to sponsor. (Did they ok that?)

2023-09-09 19:44:32 +0000 UTCAs I was thinking of a title with a play on the words “broken arrows”, I realized there are two themes or arcs to the current version 1) broken arrow risks - human systems fail and so having nukes is risky & 2) near-launch risks - nukes were almost used based on a misunderstanding or imperfect information. Maybe it could hang together if you emphasize or find one theme. Perhaps - all human systems are fallible and so nukes are risky. Despite our best intentions, it’s a matter of time for bad outcomes to happen while they exist. Maybe it’s just emphasizing the fallibility of human systems and the near zero margin of error here. As for a title something like: “Broken Arrows gone astray: the existential risks of nuclear weapons existing”

2023-09-09 14:28:02 +0000 UTCMaybe with a different sponsor, but this comes off as a bad pun when you end with razor blades. XD

2023-09-09 12:58:18 +0000 UTCIn my opinion the most powerful part of the video is at 11:16. "The most dangerous moment in human history" got my attention, and I was already watching the video. Maybe you can shrink that into something that'll fit in a thumbnail? "Humanity's Most Dangerous Moment"?

2023-09-09 12:56:05 +0000 UTCBy the way. If you want more recent example, last summer or so Russia (or Belarus - details escape me) fired an ICBM that could carry a nuclear warhead (but didn't) and it landed somewhere in central Poland. Funny fact - our military failed to spot it until few months later some farmer or someone just came across this missle in deep forest and he alerted the authorities. Talk about our readiness for war...

2023-09-09 09:57:32 +0000 UTCGreat video. The only thing I caught is in the sponsorship part. For a since channel you should insist they perform double blind test using top of the line of other top brands. I'm not saying their test is bad. I'm saying that your description of their test did not convince me it was fully honest. A test where they use cheap multi-bladed shavers and everyone is aware of that could easily cause irritation just through nocebo effect. Yet it would fit your description.
