When I was growing up, we had discovery channel. That sparked my intrinsic curiousity. My daughter has that intrinsic motivation as well, but only for k-pop now. She likes youtube videos and she likes when I tell her about science stuff. Maybe I can combine that by recommending her some good youtube channels.

    Vi Hart is great. She hasn’t made videos in a long while but her old ones are still around.

      God I can’t stand Veritasium. Even the name is so fucking pretentious. Dude is in deep love with himself, I can’t watch it. There’s just something about narcissists, I get an allergic reaction listening to them.

    Physics girl on YouTube, even though she hasn’t made any content anymore for years due to long term Covid, she’s still recovering, but her videos were always very inspiring, very happy and curiosity inducing
