I'm glad grey goes deep on the sources in history, i feel like right around the 1800 people just went crazy and a lot of it ended up in our canon unfairly. Like shitposting from the past coming back to haunt us.

36:00 Aww ya, this is the stuff I subbed for. Gray's annoyed rants. Annoyed rants are the best type because they stew in the brain before being spoken.

Grey. You do the rabbit holes because you know as well as I do that if you don’t, and get something wrong, a random commenter on the internet will find what it is in five minutes. No matter how obscure or arcane the fact.

Remember grey was only supposed to be here for 10 episodes. Ya it's been 118 episodes and 5 years.

16:00 mtg explanation Year / Life timeline, into, Hawaii trip 24:00 UnCertainty of covid 33:00 Grey's video schedule is being affected by the outside world's uncertainty, and easy topics are actually hard and the abys of when did this thing happen 39:00 Crazy Grey, has had enough 50:00 Office space 56:00 Being secluded and maybe not living in Central London 1:10:30: Ask Cortex, Has the pandemic made you less motivated in your work 1:18:00 Ask Cortex, Sharks video , see them this month, and the Sharks are now gone

I'm 100% with Grey on this Central London thing. I have moved to live two blocks from work. I have planed where to live to keep my commute as short as humanly possible for the last twenty years.

London is 607mi^2. Paris is 40.7mi^2 which is 6.7% the size of London. New York is 468mi^2 which is 77.1% the size of London. I included percentages as some of you may be metric. Interestingly, NY has 93.7% of the population of London.

Episode 118 - the episode when Myke discovers Grey is a perfectionist and more than a little bit stubborn... *remembers "The Race to Win Staten Island " video* In all seriousness, I really do love listening to Grey talk about things he's really passionate about, but I worry about his health and how much he can sometimes hyperfocus on projects. I love me some CGP Grey content, but I want there to still be a Grey there in 5/10/20 years making things he's passionate about. Hopefully he can either find a healthy middle ground for these kinds of projects, or an assistant who's willing to closeline him to stop him from going down a rabbit hole.

35:10 - 35:55 What it can be like writing a PhD sometimes XD

The teacher in grey came back to haunt us as he started talking about how bad citations from Wiki are XD

40:00 it's like the alting problem : you don't want to stop that rabbit hole because it might stop anytime soon , you don't know when ...

r.i.p. constant numbering

I love hearing grey comment on his videos once I know which one it actually is

I have been listening to cortex for a while now but it isn’t the same as hello internet used to be, I hope they come back someday. This is the only other podcast that is similar to that experience…

"Lots of interesting questions about 368" That's quite amusing Grey

Gonna have to grab that percentage app. Life. Just because.

Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good. It is ok to set limits. I think you can do that and still be true to your audience. Going to the absolute end of the rabbit hole is an unsustainable amount of stress. There are people who have dedicated their lives to each of those rabbit holes and they don't have all the answers either. Just tell your audience "I don't know the answer" or "I went this far and this is what I found."

46:31 The cognitive dissonance around this is astounding. I've seen friends (on Facebook of course), rant about how bad/evil Mark Zuckerberg is, then in the next post rant about how Facebook should be doing more to control/censor the posts and news that "isn't true".

living in scotlands great I get great views of hills and wind turbines from my work but there is that transport disconnect which isn't always a bad thing but is always there.

Setup a museum in the front of the shop for something nobody cares about.

Wait this was recorded in March? 9:11

I have started timetracking! I have finished my Master's this summer and will be starting as an adjunct this fall. I haven't timetracked since high school (it was required) but since I'm starting in the "real working world", I would want to know exactly how much time it takes for me to start a course from scratch.

First times in history are always tricky Grey, superlatives are quite often tricky, especially in history

I finally got my second shot just now and I feel groggy

2 uploads in two day? Woooooooooo

I guess there w ill be Cortex Towers in their future. If KZfaq and other companies were to upload anyone into a super computer to "find the truth" I nominate Grey. Though I imagine even as a computer construct running at hundreds of times faster, That it'll be a tough job.

35:58 Grey: Let me give you an example. Myke: I would love one. For whatever reason this cracked me up. Do you guys do an uncensored version for Patreons?

oh it's great I recently read Atomic habits (wonder if our hosts read it too) and was looking for something in this broad area and also was considering Thinking fast and slow, maybe I'll join

Soon™

Oh to be the first view

10:40 note for the next episode Daniel Kahneman is a psychologist who won the noble prize in economics science. One of those things people in social sciences can be pedantic about.
