    You can tell John Green naturally has his "writer brain" on all the time because of how beautifully he summed up "That is what happens in the fullness of time" when Brady mentioned that people pointing at Isac Newton's name over time have started to rub out the name beneath it. I've seen Objectivity's original video with the Charter Book but this is the first time I've heard someone make a metaphor about some people's names becoming so famous that other people, while highly accomplished in their own right, get "rubbed out" over generations in favour of a few very big names.

      @SageThyme23 - I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but could you tell me why you didn't write "an objectivity collab" instead of "a objectivity"? I've seen this a lot lately and wondered if it's being taught now.
      Personally, I find it clunky - imagine saying it out loud "a objectivity" is very difficult to say imo.

I was only around him for a short time, but seeing this video I am reminded of how down to earth he is, and I know first hand how sincere and awestruck he is being here. Because he sure wasn't awestruck by my dumb a**, haha! Imagining myself seeing the Principia in real life, through John's eyes, actually made me tear up a bit.

    You know, I have several orchids, and I actually don't think it's all that hard to keep them alive. I've kept five of them alive for a few years now. I did kill two by repotting them. I thought they would love having a bigger pot with some nice new orchid moss mix. They did not. So now I don't repot them. XD But otherwise, they've stuck with me. I do think sometimes people think they have killed their orchid just because it has stopped blooming, and if that is you, you should know that that is normal! As long as the leaves look healthy and green, it's still doing fine, just done blooming for the year. Keep on caring for it normally and it will almost certainly bloom again the next year. They're pretty fun little plants, I think.
