Transcript

Here are three educational YouTubers you should follow to make you smarter. These are more in the sit down video essay category. So if you would like me to share more of the lifestyle comfort creators that I like, please let me know in the comments. We're gonna kick this off with Anna Howard. She worst the podcast Wild Geese and records all of them over video to post them on YouTube, and that is where I watch everything she has to say. She talks a lot about big concepts that plague our society, life in your twenties, and what I really love is that she brings in articles from substack, books, art, philosophy. One of my absolute favorite videos that she's ever posted is how language shapes the way we think. As a polyglot myself, I related so deeply to what she had to say and didn't think of a lot of the connections that she built. Built. Then we have Nina Montaigne.
