On the one hand, you just cost me 1:42 of my life. OTOH, thank you! I never would have watched this. It’s funny, I approached this thinking, “Oh he’s going to trash everything”, i.e. I was feeling defensive. Well, he did, kind of, but it was all very straightforward, so I was like, “yeah, I guess so”. So now I’m all skeptical, and he suddenly drinks the kool aid and goes all in for the nature angle, and I’m like “whoa!” so what the hey. I don’t even know what he was talking about with those pine cones.
I have to say I’m disappointed that he never mentioned 3x5 index cards, which take their place very naturally in the Fibbonci series.
