Iām feeling mesmerized by this immersive audio narration

As a human, something doesnāt feel right with the increase in everyday velocity.
I would even argue that the speed weāre supposed to function at nowadays is not meant for humans anymore, like against our human nature.
This high-speed is to be parsed by a machine, or whatās in between - the half-computer half-human cyborg that we are currently becoming.
Hereās something where everyday velocity seems more compatible to us humans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQs5VxNPhzk

Lesson:
āNobody watches ads. People watch what interests them, and sometimes itās an ad.ā (Howard Luck Gossage*, a 1960s adman)
*I slightly adapted the quote cuz people _watch_ ads nowadays, they donāt necessarily _read_ them anymore.
# How to present:
1. Say what youāre going to show
2. Show it
3. Summarize what youāve just shown

Facebook is the best place for that.

Read the NY Times article:

And only when answered yes, do I build up a fascination for the company and its product.
Itās a bit like the curse of knowledge, but I guess Iāll get used to it.
What really pisses me off is that my joy (for technology, innovation, and the latest ācutting-edge ponyā to admire) has shrunk because as Iāve learned over the years that how you make money (ethically) is equally important as the outcome of the companyās R&D and their flagship product.
So, my thought process has become:
1. Does the company offer a great product? Cool.
2. Is their business model ethical and transparent so that even I can understand it?

The thing you hated the most in the beginning (when you didnāt know how to do it) becomes the thing youāll love the mostāafter youāve learned it.
One exception: Math. Math is still and will always be an a**hole :P

cant help it but when i'm watching video age's aearostor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk2dzTBKoCA, i'm hearing so much darwin deez radar detector
The first step of any creator hoping for lasting successāwhether for ten years or ten centuriesāis to accept that hope has nothing to do with it.
To be great, one must make great work, and making great work is incredibly hard. It must be our primary focus.
We must set out, from the beginning, with complete and total commitment to the idea that our best chance of success starts during the creative process.
Do go make and share. Do what you canāt.

Holding CMD and dragging-dropping a selected clip creates a *new* independent copy.
But, CMD+C of a selected clip creates an instance of that clip when I CMD+V it.
The difference:
A new copy applies changes (that Iāll make after its creation) only to itself.
Changes made to an instance will show in the clip you copied from too. Thatās why itās an instance or reference (like a pointer, in programming speak).
