In this video for Jordan Peterson's "Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life," we talk a lot about pointing and hierarchies of various forms. No melting lobster brain moments, but there is still some biological interpreting happening.


General notes
- Stealth joke at 7:25 - didn't want to make it too obvious, but it may have also been too low key
- Regarding fidget spinners comment: I know that these are a type of useful fidget aid for people. I'm mostly talking about the meme they became divorced from their intended purpose.
