I'm sorry, YouTube.

I won't forget.

Why?

Because some of the data that they deleted were people who are dead.

They're gone.

their data will never ever be brought up again and we assumed naively that you know youtube would do the right thing oh they haven't touched your account in uh you know three years yeah but they have 50 videos of of an old gentleman talking in his lab showing you some physics that he discovered because he worked at skunk works and now it's eliminated now

I have one or two videos, maybe a few other people have one or two videos, but the rest are gone.

And now he is just a ghost that didn't exist.

And why is it more important now?

Because we live in a digital age.

We no longer have physical medium, right?

This is gonna last barring some kind of high heat event.

This is gonna last longer than all of us here, longer than our great grandkids.

nothing that we're doing right now on this medium is going to last it is going to be gone and and the unfortunate part is we don't respect books we don't respect records these are analog physical mediums that do not require sophistication to re duplicate its data right what is the sophistication of a photographic well some light and maybe a magnifying glass and and i decoded this

What is the sophistication of decoding a DVD?

And again, I said, store it on a DVD.

That's the best we have right now.

Well, you better have laser technology.

You better have all the electronics that are gonna do that.

Now I'm not talking prepper end of the world.
