I like the idea behind your Youtube channel. But instead of indulging in
aimless rambling, forcing half-formed thoughts into whatever neural
pathways happen to fire (cause I don't think your brain does that part
well enough during REM, necessitating to do the rest in waking hours),
perhaps you could refine your approach.

Given the wealth of book material you’ve accumulated, why not _curating_

You eat too much. It negatively affects quality of breathing in sleep,
shortening the REM period among other drawbacks. I think part of the
need in you to jabber loads of hogwash in waking hours comes from what
you're missing in sleep.

Same drawbacks. Widen the scope. Your best audience is one consisted of
young adults who've just completed high school, or first year
undergraduate students.

By the way, you missed Yalda Night in the list of celebrations for that
part of the year. I think Europeans call it Yule. It is arguably the
mother of many of those other celebrations too cause it is much more
ancient than them. Comes from Mithraism (not in the context of its Roman
meaning - but its original Iranian form).

To help you understand what I mean when I suggest that for your own
benefits you should bring the level of discussion to that of the first
year undergraduate student, I'll bring a short form of what a top
professor of ours in Tehran university had told us in one of his classes
early in 1970s, about his first encounter with Einstein in Princeton:

"I went to the appointment in his office and found
him very eager and ready to hear what I had done. But
he wouldn't want the review of the work done in his
office, he stood up and told me to follow him. We
went together somewhere and found an empty classroom
and Einstein went sat on the first row and told me to
go over my work by the blackboard. He was all ears
and eyes."
>
"I began presenting my work with extraordinary tact
and control and mastery of the subject as I had
prepared myself perfectly well for this important
occasion. But a minute into it when I was
two or three lines into the equations suddenly
Einstein said,

       'Wait wait wait wait wait!!'

I stopped. Einstein proceeded as,

      'Please explain your work to me _exactly_ like you
would explain it to a first year undergraduate
student in physics. Please!..'

"So I proceeded to explain it just like he wanted me
to, and he absorbed everything that I said from begin
to end, including everything that I didn't say, all
the mistakes, all virtues in the work, and how to
correct and proceed from there."

You need to do a similar thing with your Youtube channel, otherwise your
audience will stay at 346, and especially because Einsteins won't be
among the 346 subscribers.

The best audience? How about the giant hive-mind?
I've definitely seen those hit counters roll backward.
It is not a "monetized" channel, any ads are unwanted.
Yeah, people with 30 years studying "Foundations"
don't often have much use for, "Youtube videos".
So, these podcasts are accessible, in the sense that
any terms or names introduced can be researched on their own,
and it's all spoken word so it doesn't take eye-glazing to
follow along.
One reading from philosophy is the idea that usual sorts
instruction, begin what what they're going to cover, while,
"a philosophy", sort of results at the end, what it is,
that this is definitely on the philosophical side, of
research in technical foundations. That said it's a thorough
sort of take on the technical foundations, with both the
idealistic and the analytical traditions, modern
"renaissance enlightenment".
Then, there are themes, though of course it's quite
thoroughly unscripted.
So, it's more of a graduate course, though, accessible.
Thoroughly though it's rather coherent and a dignified
sort of perspective on a narrative.
Mostly though: it's unique. There are simply important
things there, from mathematics and physics, there.
Largely it's for posterity.
Queue it up for a drowsy siesta, nap time, or,
instead of the nightly news, leave it on in the
background and ignore it, sooner or later you'll
find yourself thinking.
Thanks for your feedback. Follow that "Reading
from Einstein's Out of My Later Years", if it
isn't interrupted by intrusive ads, it's a
thorough account of what Einstein says Relativity
is, or as rather what he says it's not.
