Well, took over 40 minutes to get the "point" of why siege ladder pushing (as depicted in movies) was unrealistic and stupid, but LindyBeige really hammered that one home. I always thought it didn't make a lot of sense on an intuitive level.

It's also always funny to see him (and comparable youtubers) do paid promo for the Great Courses Plus and similar paid learning when their free programming is more entertaining and possibly more informative than anything you might find in those courses >_>

Honestly, with the glut of free educational materials out there -- a lot of which is produced by people with credentials every bit as authoritative as their paid counterparts (as well as highly informed hobbyists like Lloyd/Lindy) -- it's a wonder that the paid stuff exists at all. I suppose it must just be the fact that the overhead is so low on things like GC+

And, far more generally, a lot of the traditional education models are outdated and stupid.
