Clicked the video, liked it, and then watched it. And boy, I was not disappointed. I know exactly how long it takes to make good videos. Sometimes takes up to 30 hours for a 5 min video. and sadly quantity wins on KZbin over quality, so It's good that you have patreon now. You make the the kind of videos that have a replay value, and that is rare on youtube. keep it up.👍

[@Luke-ih1oc]

Learning how to spin a basketball on my finger is perhaps one of the best and most profound things that I've done so far in my life. For one, it's simply fun to do. But more than that, it taught me that I can learn how to do things that previously seemed impossible, and even things which I don't even understand while I'm trying to learn them. I think it's a pretty powerful proof of concept and has given me the confidence to try other things in life that I may not have otherwise.
