She made a comment about it early on. I think it’s to distract her a little so she doesn’t just spend the next hour talking in detail about maths.
Yeah. I’ve seen her do other videos and she doesn’t play a game. I think it might just have been a way to keep the tone conversational. Near the end, as she got the complex stuff, the game got harder and her presentation suffered a little. I’m hoping she doesn’t stick with this format: not my favority.
That’s what writing a script ahead of time is for.
Leave it to a physicist to think they need to resolve every problem in other fields.
I’m not sure what you mean, is string theory not part of physics? But yeah she said she has a list of things to go through, more dot points than a script. Her normal videos are typically scripted though.
Is this the difficulty in communication she’s referring to? That she has to play video games when discussing scientific topics like she’s Sam Bankman-Fried?
