Part 1 of (2 of maybe 3) of an ASMR-style documentary series on the beautiful life and serene art of the gentle, inspirational figure of Bob Ross. Let's find out about Bob Ross's life leading up to his breakthrough into the public television painting stardom. “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.” ― Bob Ross ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► If you'd like to show support for the channel: ▸Patreon (monthly donations) ........ ▸PayPal (one-time...

Let's find out about nebulae and extraterrestrial life in my first ever binaural-audio recording. 1000 Space Facts Part 1: https://youtu.be/P-w9lZTc2XE Here's two profound quotes by Dr. Carl Sagan, who we discuss in the second half: "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." "Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Timestamps:...

Tonight we explore the often misrepresented concepts of size, distance, and even time on cosmological scales. Thanks to all my generous supporters (across Patreon, Paypal, Venmo, the Tingles app, and amazing gifts to the PO Box) who have helped the channel (even since I've been on a looooooooooong hiatus). It's been a bit chaotic, but we've found a rhythm, and I hope to be uploading more frequently (lol, i know). “A very popular error- having the courage of one's own convictions; rather, it...

This was recorded three years ago after the 2017 cryptocurrency surge. It's far from comprehensive, but is a short survey of the evolution of money and the nature of what cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin and ethereum, are and what their future applications might be.

Let's find out what's hiding in the Big Dipper. I want to especially thank everyone for their support (whether its over the years on patreon, a one-time donation on paypal, or just an email saying your thoughts about the channel). Every bit encourages me to pursue the next video and hopefully get slightly better (although sometimes not, I'm sure). I recently partnered with Manta Sleep because I use their sleep mask EVERY.

The natural sounds of the water cycle that revitalizes and distributes nutrients across this oasis in the cosmos we evolved on. Use this to think, relax, meditate, and sleep. 

This is what heavy rain and thunder storms sound like from inside my house. Sleep deeply.

This is a reading, and sparse commentary, about the recorded cycle that societies/civilizations oscillate through, as seen in ancient Greece, revolutionary France and perhaps even in today's data-laden America. This periodic trend is marked by governments of tyranny that are overthrown into a free society, which then evolve into being burdened with anarchy and decentralized value systems. The anxiety provoked by such chaos caves to the stability of tyranny so it is welcomed once again under...

Shop Manta Sleep's awesome masks here: (10% off if you use LETSFINDOUT at checkout thru 12/15/2020) In 1836 astronomy was still a budding science. The Andromeda galaxy was still just a curiosity; a hazy nebula yet to be explored. Supernovae were still deep mysteries. And the thought that our universe could be more than 100,000 light-years across was unheard of. Let's find out how far our knowledge of space (supernovae and variable stars, in particular tonight), has come in 200 years. "...it...

This has to be the longest unboxing video ever made... Thank you, everyone, who made this possible. All my supporters on patreon, paypal, my gift givers, my viewers, and all of you who show love in the comments. Tonight we unwrap everything from letters, Lord of the Rings, ancient mythology, and history, to Carl Jung, astronomy posters, an ASMRCTICA t-shirt, electronics, incense, candles, and... another REALLY OLD astronomy textbook (1846)! #ASMR #unboxing #books "I never let schooling...

I often browse r/educationalGIFs and have found some great astronomy related ones over the years. Here I've compiled my top 25(-ish) GIFs that illuminate space travel, cosmic phenomena, our solar system, or just fascinating space themed ideas. And thank you patrons for your continued support. There are no hard feelings if you feel it's no longer worth it, but a million thanks as many of you continue to keep giving. It means the world to us. "I never let schooling interfere with my education"...

Tonight we're reading some interesting history on early human exploration across the Pacific Ocean and how that's evolved into our space engineering and testing, and speculation about our astronomical future in the stars. Some main characters are Robert Goddard, Freeman Dyson, and our prehistoric ancestors.   Youtube video version: https://youtu.be/iDDhHNYIgo0

Browsing through a few new astronomy books I found. Talking about the drake equation and SETI, physics, and scales of planet sizes and distances in the solar system.

This is part 2 (out of who knows how many...) of our adventure through this nearly 200 year-old astronomy atlas, "Geography of the Heavens" by Elijah Burritt, an early 19th century black smith-turned-educator. *My even older copy of Burritt's book came in a couple days ago and I couldn't have been more pleased. It's binding almost fell apart, so I was extra careful with handling it. We look in detail at the preface and introductory essay titled "Advantages of the Study of Astronomy."

200 year-old astronomy book. Let's find out what they knew about the heavens in the 1830's.   Thanks for listening.
