Corn Flakes and Graham Crackers, two seemingly innocuous snack foods that were invented to reduce people's carnal desires. At least that's the story. A story which led into dozens of other stories.

You've seen their influence everywhere, you just didn't know it. Christian Science has affected everything in the United States from criminal law to healthcare. How did this Temperance religion gain so much influence?

Geronimo was the quintessential American Indian, fighting against impossible odds until the bitter end.
The Nebula-exclusive follow-up to my 2.5 hour long Indian Removal video is now available on Youtube!
2023-03-01 20:34:45 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
It’s been a few years since I’ve made a “State of the Channel” post, but I’m making a few changes for 2023 that I thought you might like to hear.
In 2020, I stopped doing traditional New Year’s Resolutions and adopted CGP Grey’s Yearly Theme idea. My previous themes so far have been Reduction, Adulting, and Generosity. 2023 is the year of Consistency. A...

Took me a total of 214 hours and 3 minutes to complete.
Research - 83h 16m
Writing - 42h 56m
Filming - 24h 25m
Editing - 59h 38m
Post Production - 3h 47m
I think in the future, I will only post these time cards when a project is complete, rather than monthly. Assuming that's alright with all of you?
I took a break for Thanksgiving... but not Christmas because I'm ...

America was founded when a group of Protestant Christians, fleeing religious persecution in Europe, made the harrowing journey across the Atlantic. Except, no it wasn't and no they weren't. This story is a lie.

With the vast buffalo herds of North America facing extinction, a small group of Plains Nations came together to fight for their survival.

The Standard American History Myth treats American Indians as if they were an obstacle in the way of westward expansion and our inevitable march of progress. But nothing about what the United States did to the Native Americans was inevitable.

Indians? Natives? Indigenous Peoples? Every year, people seem ever more confused by these various terms. So here's a handy guide.
This is a footnote/addendum to the larger video, which will be released publicly a few minutes earlier.
Hello everyone, sorry I haven't been keeping up with this lately. I'll try to get back on a monthly schedule when it comes to this.
The Cigarettes video was posted in the first week of July. A few days after that I began work on my Indians/Pilgrims project, which has been on my mind for about a year now. I spent 4 days visiting reservations in August and I took a mini Vegas vacation in S...

I didn't realize until today that I never posted my May time card, how embarrassing.
The end of May/beginning of June were lazy because I had surgery on my hand to fix that trigger finger issue. I'm back to normal now, but it kept me from doing any substantial work for 2-3 weeks.
These last two months were taken up almost entirely by the Tobacco project. I ended up having to cancel...
Cigarettes are bad for you - you know they're bad for you. But how did they convince us to ignore that fact and do it anyway?

Hello everyone. This month's time card looks a little funky.
The Neoslavery video took me an extra few days to finish since I decided to completely change up my editing style halfway through the process. After that, I built a new computer, which is my first upgrade since the channel took off. Since I'm filming in 4K and using fancier graphics, I figured an upgrade was warranted. Then I go...

Hello everyone! The North Pole Company Scrip was mailed out on March 15. International patrons seemed to get theirs fairly quickly, while anyone in the United States seemed to be missing theirs.
Well, in the last few days, American patrons have finally been receiving theirs. If you get yours, I would love to see a selfie or something showing you got it - make sure to tag me on whatever so...
