This new format with Isaac presenting on screen makes him seem like a super-interesting/wise old uncle or something. I love it.

The current, very nuanced and multifaceted, science-backed discourse in academia results in:<br>as few as none, as many as infinite.

Life exists everywhere it can, intelligence is rare, fusion is only twenty galactic years away.

Dear Issac, I hope this comment reaches you in good health and high spirits.issac, I've been watching since close to day one. Your philosophical musing on science, futurism and aliens has brought me much joy as I love to ponder these deeper questions...The fact that I can look to you and your videos to reference certain ideas and see what nuances I can tease from what you have thought about has played a deep role in my figuring out this thing called reality and the possible place the future might take us...though I don't agree on some of the conclusions you draw it's good to have well articulated counter arguments...the fact that I've been here to see you find love and start a family is truly inspiring. What I'm getting at is.. I love you. And wish you and yours the very best this life has to offer. Thank you for your time, Issac.

i do feel like that even if just half the fermi paradox ideas could be turned into a new part of the equation it would be a dozen times longer by now.

AI has become so good at copying people's voice that more and more faceless youtubers feel forced to prove their authenticity by showing their faces in their videos.

We're an anomaly. We're super rare and unique. The universe belongs to us.
