welp looking at the pyramid I'm just at level 2

Maybe a replicator would project a complete object onto the local Higgs field in a manner analgeous to how microprocessors are projected onto silicon wafers. This would beat the limitations of 3D printing.

Any photos of your grandpa's train setup? That sounds awesome.

Only 4 months later and you've tripled your subs! I'm very happy for you, and the the channel!
I appreciate your thorough, and accurate exploration of all of these topics. -
Excellent series. You are providing a great service to those who watch your videos.
-

This is how Youtube is supposed to be used. Interlinked Videos. I even learned new features like the voting.
-
And now your at almost 30,000! (as of 12/16)
-
Yes! You're third child is a crime against humanity.
-
You can now hire a PR firm to imrove your reputation... I knew that, but I didn't know it.
Weird that you find that concept in a book first published in 1895. -
Can you make your profile picture not look like a Tim and Eric sketch?
-
Isaac love you're channel, but I wanted to probe your thoughts on the automation limit idea. Is the body of most living things not capable replicating things pretty darn fast? Couldn't that process and the speed be greatly improved with nanotechnology?
-
Fascinating video, thank you for posting. Subbed :)
-
I disagree with your basic premise of zero expansion. Expansion speed doesnt matter as long as input is greater than expansion speed.
-
This is very interesting and I would like to get a better understanding of this subject. Are there some good books about post scarcity societies /utopias that you would reccomend; and do any of them genuinely not use money?
-
Your videos fill me with equal parts existential dread and hope. Keep it up!
-
i bet this channel will hit 100,000 subscribers
-
Doubt you read comments this far down, but just wanted to say that for this listener at least your speech impediment adds to the charm. I am an UK-based comedian researching these topics for a set (still working on it!) and would say that you shouldn't change your voice (literal or figurative) for anyone. Keep doing what you're doing!

Congrats on success ! top-notch work !
i fall behind, so I need some kind of implant to keep me updated on the channel & topics across a social media-verse. -
Love your work. :-) Here we are at 24k just over 2 months later. A doubling time is kicking in! Exponential. Must be the quality of the ideas and thoroughness of the work, as well as your sense of humour about your "Elmerishness" :-) (I'm getting used to it).
