Also why the best toaster was created in the 50s, how petrol lamps work, the wild story of video on discs, and dumb US. automotive standards (or less dumb ones). Followed by a speed run through the entire history of analog photography.

It’s wild not just how varied Alex’s interests are, but how he’ll find interest in the most mundane subjects (christmas lamps) and how well and thoroughly he’s able to present them.

Can you please share a link - who/what is TC?

So far he's mostly been an exception to Gell-Mann Amnesia, too. The videos I've seen from him that are on subjects which I'm knowledgable about haven't been perfect, but the inaccuracies I've noticed have been nitpicks, not major problems. That combined with his willingness to do further research and make an update video when people object to something he said makes me a lot more willing to trust him on the subjects I know nothing about.
