Off-Script Episode 3 - with Big Joel!
Next episode and we have TWO GUESTS ON, Big AND Little Joel, can you BELIEVE IT? Big Joel (Henry) has been making video essays for about as long as I have, and talking to him was an absolute blast. We talked about the gap between what media claims to be and what it actually is, chess, the economics of YouTube Shorts, Marty Supreme, and whether Gon from Hunter x Hunter is Mr. Beast.
It gets philosophical and also very silly. I think you'll like it.
ALSO this was filmed a couple months ago i have SEEN the chimera ants arc now (and the whole anime for that matter!) and holy shit holy shit holy shit

Loved this convo! Also the thing about petting the dog at the end is so real. I feel sad for the devs that bend over backwards to make a dog pettable in their otherwise-interaction-constrained games just to check a box. Very good connection to goodhart’s law.
Just wanna say that I absolutely love these videos; they hit the perfect sweet spot between being super interesting, probing, philosophical discussions with really smart people, and being hour long hangout sessions to eavesdrop on you and a cool person shooting the shit. Keep doing what you're doing :)
