There are three more good videos in the series (https://tinyurl.com/7db43dfx). If you like the bit about orbits I'd suggest playing with any of the orbit explorers online (https://tinyurl.com/ttmzb4wf, https://tinyurl.com/2c3ug9xu -- there's a Satanic pentagram in the lower left five-bulb of the cardiod). I love that there's a ton of complexity going on _inside_ the set, which is usually rendered a flat black because it's hard to visualize an infinite curved orbit at every pixel.

A silver lining of lockdown is I've had time to go back and re-learn complex numbers and how to multiply them (https://tinyurl.com/2lqoh99o). Treating them as vectors from the origin you basically multiply the magnitudes (which makes sense) and SUM THE ANGLES (fucking whaaaaat?) -- which totally weirded me out until I played with it by hand enough to appreciate on a gut level how "i" introduces a genuine ninety degree rotation into the number line. Which lets you get Mandelbrot and Julia sets, but also the 'why' behind Euler's Identity which has gotten so much Internet love.

I appreciate this video and ure enthusiastic comment. I know exactly how u feel! Maybe corona will herald a new golden age of intellect?

>Maybe corona will herald a new golden age of intellect?

Gosh I hope so. Sometimes it seems like lockdown is making everyone dumber and angrier. But then things are happening in the background. My country got smart enough to vote Trump out. Some creators I admire like Jesse Moynihan and Contrapoints have been doing great work. Maybe a big flowering is about to happen; one can always hope.
