Thank you, Michael, and everyone involved in these studies. Your work will be remembered and cherished by many!

      its more like the videos are timeless, the information is very well articulated and laid out, it's always entertaining to come back and watch, the production quality itself (editing, animation, presentation, etc.) is REALLY good too, and at least for me I seem to always learn something new, or come to a newer understanding of stuff he talked about when I didn't understand it too well the first time or I just forgot. It all makes it worth rewatching in the future
