Why Do We Like What We Like? Operatic Vlogs 2022-10-15 | After yet another long hiatus I'm back with a video that actually talks about something other than why I was away, because the reasons are the same as I've always been. this video's scripted and that's probably extremely obvious: I wrote the script months ago and abandoned it because I couldn't make it sound natural but I just decided fuck it and uploaded it.This is a very effortless way to make videos which has a chance of working long-term but we'll see. I want to experiment with things like this and see what happens.

Operatic Debut, 4am Alarms, Holiday | Brain Hack Diary | The Operatic Vlogs Operatic Vlogs 2017-01-27 | 17th - 21st January 2017I talk about the 1st video I released on The Operatic.

Uzbekistan, England and Vladimir Putin | Minutemind | The Operatic Vlogs Operatic Vlogs 2017-01-12 | Minutemind is a series I used to make where I talk for 60 seconds about a randomly generated topic and to see how detailed I can be and how eloquent I can be (minimizing speech errors).New features include a hair band on my hand which I must switch to the other hand if I make a speech error (ummm, like, eh etc) and a program written in Max 5 to generate the random topic.The list of random topics will grow over time as the goal is mainly to improve my ability to communicate information, not so much to learn a specific topic inside out, but if topics repeat, information will flow better if it's fresh in my mind.SEE WHAT I'M UP TO!Sitehttp://iamoperatic.comBloghttp://theoperatic.blogspot.co.ukTwittertwitter.com/IAmOperaticFacebookfacebook.com/TheOperaticShapewaysshapeways.com/shops/theoperatic

Social Justice Profile Operatic Vlogs 2016-02-28 | I like to act on the statements I make. In the interest of humanising the people involved in the discussion to make a better one, let's answer some questions about ourselves.

A Little Perspective Operatic Vlogs 2015-12-06 | Back in the day, things were much worse. We just didn't know about them.I've been very busy the last few weeks due to work, so I've posted on my blog mostly. Even without the editing I used to do in my videos, it's psychologically easier to motivate myself to do a blog post than it is to make a video after being that tired.My blog:http://orygyn.blogspot.co.ukGalen's gofundme page:gofundme.com/galendentalSketchyWhiteDude's video:youtube.com/watch?v=wNgpVgdDHnI

Orygyn On Tour: London - Summer In The City (Day 1) Operatic Vlogs 2015-08-28 | In retrospect, I should have brought a laptop so I could upload these sooner. I did these my old way (filming clips at a time) and Movie Maker played up the last time I used it so I hate that it's taken me this long to get even the first video up there. There are a few more and they will follow soon, then I'll be back to my normal routine.The video plays up at 1:15. I'll keep it up because I made it but I'll be checking all the others before they go up.I never ended up getting clips from the event.

#NotWithTheMob Operatic Vlogs 2015-08-02 | The article:http://www.vox.com/2015/7/30/9074865/cecil-lion-palmer-mob-justiceYes, I'm aware of the irony of criticising the internet on the internet, and also of contributing to the exact thing that I say I'm refusing to contribute to in the future with this video. This does not invalidate my point. If a miniscule contribution to mob justice leads to a greater awareness of it with the view and result of discouraging it, I will sleep soundly.

Sexual Consent and Judgement Operatic Vlogs 2015-07-26 | WANNA HAVE SEX? (CONSENT 101) - lacigreenyoutube.com/watch?v=TD2EooMhqRILet's Talk About Rape (and how Laci Green got it SO wrong)youtube.com/watch?v=VwarmRCAEhQIn defense of Laci: I talked in previous videos about how there are issues we are all emotionally invested in that sometimes cloud our judgement. She is about as invested in these issues as she can get as a result of having to give university talks about it and the fact that she has a channel of over 1 million subscribers to make videos to about it. Me and Laci started making videos in our community at the same time, we have been subscribed to each other for that time, and my opinion of her has not changed: I have a lot of respect for her. Having a few blindspots doesn't change that.
