Don't forget it's the 1st of April today. Divorce your partner, empty your bank account and spend it all on cheese snacks, sell your house. It can all be undone the next day by the Law of April Fools.

It's really hard telling how you went in a guest interview. Did I bomb, make sense, or interest a few people? So hard to know. I think I have a lot to learn, and a long way to go.

I am not sure how true this is for others, but I am generally finding that 1 minute of finished video is taking about 3 hours of work. Between writing the script, revising it multiple times, shooting the video, doing retakes, editing, and subtitles, it adds up to a lot.

Myth can reach a deeper truth than science is able to capture, because in a universe that is fundamentally mysterious, it leaves room for an element that resides beyond words.

"No, mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry, it is metaphorical... the penultimate truth - penultimate because the ultimate cannot be put into words. It is beyond words… Mythology pitches the mind… to what can be known but not told." -- Joseph Campbell.
