[cilla4progress]

15. Fabulous -

thank you!

[Lithos]

16. These are great, but...

1) You get what you put into them
2) Most are what you would say - thin. More esoteric and deeper subjects are not going to be covered.
3) You will need to learn to succeed using essentially yourself - have a question? Need to figure out how to find it online or learn to build your own network. Do not expect to have an easy onboard for a quick 1:1 q&a. The Reddit and StackOverflow metaphors only go so deep.

But that said - here is probably are probably the two biggest lists of available of resources:

https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books

The first one is general and the second one focuses more on CompSci and Math

17. WARNING! All is not how it seems

Big Think is financed by Peter Thiel, the same Silicon Valley Fascist bankrolling JD Vance and Blake Masterson.

Misha Da Vinci seems to be getting a piece of the pie as well, she’s not just sharing these link altruistically…

[live love laugh]

21. Good to know ... thanks for sharing too

[Duppers]

20. I like Anton Petrov

He takes whatever's in the news that day, usually some discovery, astronomy thing, math thing, etc., and breaks it down for 10-20 minutes.

One of the nicest people on YouTube.

22. I have a couple recommendations of my own

They're not university level; they are good for upper elementary to high school level.

SciShow has a wide variety of topics in biology, evolution, geology, medicine, even whimsical topics.
https://www.youtube.com/c/SciShow

PBS Eons is like SciShow at a slightly higher level.
https://www.youtube.com/c/eons/featured

Be Smart is for elementary school level.
https://www.youtube.com/c/itsokaytobesmart

History of the Universe: exactly as it says on the label.
https://www.youtube.com/c/HistoryoftheUniverse/featured


I enjoy watching short videos that teach about scientific topics. Most of them are between 4 and 12 minutes long. History of the Universe videos are about 40 minutes to just over an hour.

23. K&R! nt

25. YouTube University is not in the Top 25 in the coaches' poll

So it must be worthless.
