Life is short. I'm dying every minute at a time. Right? It's a, it's a— you, you. We've been dead for 13 and 12 billion years. That's a lot! That's how long from The Big Bang till now. The universe will be around 70 billion years. You're around for 50, 700 years; you're, it's a blink of a firefly in the night. One time, right? You're just barely here.

So you got to make the most of every minute, which doesn't mean that you chase some stupid desire for your entire life. What it means is that, like, every second that you have on this planet, it's very precious.

It's that sense that nothing is missing in this moment. Right? So if you have the sense that something is missing in this moment, AKA a desire that will pull you out of this moment and will make you unhappy, our natural state is to be happy. If a child...

Definite integral of sine and cosine product

We’re in our quest to give ourselves a little bit of a mathematical underpinning of definite integrals of various combinations of trig functions, so it’ll be hopefully straightforward for us to actually find the coefficients, our 4A coefficients, which we…

Less versus fewer | Frequently confused words | Usage | Grammar

Hello Garian, hello Rosie, hi David. Uh, so you’ve called me into the recording booth today? Yes, because uh, you have a bone to pick with me—just a little bit. Yeah, so I have always, in my usage, I always drawn a distinction between less and fewer. I w…

Radical functions differentiation | Derivative rules | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

Let’s see if we can take the derivative with respect to (x) of the fourth root of (x^3 + 4x^2 + 7). At first, you might say, “All right, how do I take the derivative of a fourth root of something?” It looks like I have a composite function; I’m taking the…

Rockhopper Penguins, Up Close: On Location | Hostile Planet

Ever wondered how wildlife crews managed to capture the perfect shot right in the heart of the action? Check out the behind the scenes to see the great lengths that the crew went to to film “Hostile Planet.” MATT RICHARDS: Rock copper penguins live in co…

Relative maxima and minima worked example

This is the Khan Academy exercise on relative maxima and minima, and they ask us to mark all the relative maximum points in the graph. Like always, pause this video and see if you can figure out which are the relative maximum points. Okay, now let’s work…

Mapping shapes

We’re told that triangles. Let’s see, we have triangle PQR and triangle ABC are congruent. The side length of each square on the grid is one unit, so each of these is one unit. Which of the following sequences of transformations maps triangle PQR onto tri…
