I recommend skipping the first 12:30 of this video: it contains nothing new. But the second half of the video is well worth watching. To summarize:
- It will be difficult to hide what's in the FBI files concerning Epstein. Investigative reports know how to dig for dirt.
- The place to start may be the money trail.
- It's unlikely that all copies of all the damning tapes will have been destroyed.
- The truth will come out neither quickly nor all at once. But it likely will come out.
This video is the best explanation I've seen about the challenging notion that our selves and our free will are illusions.
Most YouTube videos are filled with old, new, ramblings, and other fillers. I'm almost exclusively interested in content. Interesting stuff that I didn't already know.
YouTube transcripts are almost useless. Instead, I turn on closed captioning and set the playback speed to 2x. That allows me to skip filler and find the good stuff quickly.

Three content-rich videos from Yanis Varoufakis, former Finance Minister of Greece. These videos cover the present political and economic situation in America, with minimal overlap. Forget the throw-away headlines: the analyses are superb:
- America is heading for a crisis
The following YouTube videos have been important parts of my musical journey with Cameron Smith and The London School of Contemporary Piano:
- The Circle of Fifths Explained: The best explanation I've ever seen. "Moving across the circle" is the same as using the tritone substitute.

Zen Happiness is a book of wisdom by John J Muth. It contains beautiful watercolors with one of the following zen sayings on each page:
We are born again with each new day.
Words, both true and kind, can change the world.
Be someone you want to be around.
What we do now is what matters most.
What we think, we can become.
With our thoughts, we create the world.
When you reach the top, keep climbing.
Be kind to yourself. Whatever you do each day, let it be enough.
Three things cannot remain hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
You, as much as anyone in the world, deserve your love and respect.
From stillness, life rises.
May all beings have happy minds.
