[Barklord]

@Gradet Funny you should say that because the author of the book contacted me to say thanks for the nice video. Time annotations in the description. Cheers.

That long chapter 7 quote was fucking amazing

[Barklord]

@truthcrackers The author of this book contacted me a week after I made this video. Made a youtube channel (ampho824). He hasn't made any videos yet but you never know... He still teaches at NYiT.

sigh

I wish I had a longer attention span

I've been studying a lot of left brain technical stuff. sigh

I do have affection for it though....

[Barklord]

Unfortunately, Two minutes was all I could stand.. Then I noticed that it just goes on like this for TWENTY FIVE more minutes!? ..holy shit.

[thefoehammer91]

this is awesome man, i wanted to know about this and you do exactly what you should do: discuss. there's no way you could talk about all this by rushing through it, talking fast, or skipping bits. nice work dude!

[Gradet]

@Roahark i don't prefer either. it's the 'getting to the point' in a 'timely manner' that i prefer.

[Roahark]

@Gradet Why would you want something so proper and fake? Do You want someone speaking to you, or reading from a projector.?

[Gradet]

@Barklord ...not seeking an argument, simply a critique because i felt compelled to do so. take it or leave it.

[JayPCM]

Thank you for this, youtube is seriously lacking in content in this department.

[truthcrackers]

@Barklord i just made a response video.... enjoy!
