Well, part of this video is discussion on algorithm; and the other part is disagreeing with a Flat Earth follower: Nicole Cote to be precise.


On her latest video, she lays out why it is not the algorithm; but the collective stupidness of flat-earthers (yes, I am paraphrasing here). The moment Red Pill Philosophy agreed with the video, I knew I had to disagree (british humour)


This is understanding what an algorithm is: from a programmer's perspective. Enjoy.
