New video!

This video is about the reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death but it’s also about an idea I’ve been wanting to share for ages.

It’s ideas like this that I had in mind when I started this series about “the ideas that explain the news”. It’s helpful for the Kirk controversy but put it in your tool box and you’ll use it for years to come.

Bonus: I’ve been experimenting with shorts, and finally have one that seems worth sharing.

The rest of this email’s links and recommendations after the jump.

Paid subscribers also get:

  • first access to Q&As, commentary videos, in-person meet-ups and the like

  • a link to an ad & sponsor-free version of the main videos

  • the satisfaction of knowing you help make the whole YouTube project possible!
