I am well aware of this overlap and it doesn’t come as a surprise. I perhaps wish more of these creators acknowledged the military industrial complex and addressed what it means for their content and for the world of engineering.

I also had this uneasy feeling watching the video. It certainly felt a bit like a cog in the military industrial machine. While the actual content of the video wasn’t exactly bad in my opinion, I don’t know how I feel about pitching anti-terror or war machines to children through the lens of, “Engineering is cool!” That said, there are many more examples of that pitch out in the world in other forms. I do think Mark could be more careful especially when he is directly promoting a company in the defense industry.
I am also not a fan of the doomerism. Feels harder to avoid here unfortunately
Hey don’t spoil the surprise!
2021 had GME meme stonks and was the start of NFTs. Also COVID vax started coming out.
Considering the chain has been owned for a few years by private equity, I don’t know if it could have been any worse than that.
