And in case the card doesn't work, I would like to point you in the direction of Philosophy Tube's video on a similar topic: youtu.be/eQNw2FBdpyE . If you haven't seen it already, do.

Finally, apologies for the somewhat sparse fanciness in this video. I promise there will be more bells and whistles in the following videos. With this one, it was hard to do, so I just really wanted to get it done and get the story out there.
