Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 124)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we cut to the chase, drink tea and attend a play.

• First, this Video. (from Mike Rugnetta)
• Next, Charlie talks about his patriotism, how to be patriotic when you're British and how wonderful hot leaf water is.
• Finally, dust off your Greek classics and watch John Green talk about Oedipus on Crash Course Literature.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 98)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we creep and crawl, travel far away and have an idea about what we know.

• First, Kiri Callaghan gets curious about why we're freaked out by spiders. I have to say, I think my fear of spiders has a lot to do with how alien they are, as opposed to the spideryness. (Maybe.) Anyway if you are scared of spiders I think this video isn't going to bother you too much and may give you something to think about.
• Next CalebElijah playe Dazil, City of Burning Sands from Xenogears. Given the music in this game I think I may need to track it down and play it some time.
• Finally, on Idea Channel, Mike Rugnetta asks if Google is Knowledge. I have to say that primarily I think that Google is information that we synthesize in to knowlege. Furthermore I think accepting that Google is knowledge requires further consideration of how much you trust your knowledge.

• First, hop on your dinosaur as Mr. Smooth McGroove takes you back to Super Mario World.
• Next, on PBS Idea Channel, Mike Rugnetta tackles what Neon Genesis Evangelion tells us about authorship and reading.
• Finally, you might want to hide your pottery because Man at Arms has actually made the Master Sword in real life.
