A full length documentary called "Not Everything is Black", where six blind people around the world get asked to take pictures and speak about their blindness.

I know, I know, the duration. Not just pushing the community rules beyond the breaking point, but a 72 minutes video on focus, of all things? Bold move.

On the flipside, consider: You can already start listening while cooking, also, you should not rush eating. I rest my case.

Distraction is one of the hottest button issues today. Everywhere there seems to be assaults on our focus. Recently I came across two wonderful videos by the inimitable Jared Henderson (‪@_jared‬) on our declining focus rates, and it took me on a long research journey into the true terrifying effects of our limited focus.

Life is meaningless, but how do we cope? That is the question asked by Albert Camus in his landmark text The Myth of Sisyphus. Here I will draw upon this work amongst others Camus penned like The Stranger to give an overview of how Camus thinks we should live in a world where everything seems meaningless, and the universe will not hear our calls for a higher purpose. I will also focus on some of his more radical ideas as they are often glossed over or made more palatable by many popular interpretations of his words. Think of this as a slightly more provocative version of my genuine interpretation of the great thinker's ideas.

Found this 1k sub channel that seems to be themed around americana and particularly route 66

I spent three years trying to find out which typeface's capital "I" makes the best I-beam. Along the way I learned how fonts came to be and why I beams look the way they do.

South Korea is heading toward a demographic collapse unlike anything the world has seen before. With the lowest fertility rate ever recorded and a rapidly aging population, the country faces a future of economic decline, shrinking cities, cultural erosion, and a vanishing workforce.

By 2060, nearly half of South Koreans could be over the age of 65, and entire regions may be abandoned as the population continues to shrink.

How did South Korea reach this point? Why might it no longer be possible to reverse the trend? And what does this mean for other countries on a similar path?

Initially I was thinking 'ah this is a bit pretentious', but I soon found it quite charming, and the production quality/shot compositions really impressed me!
