Cringe

We talk a lot about filosofy, culture, and politics on this list. And we quote a lot of old white guys. Sporadically one of us will lament about how difficult it is to keep up with tech or cultural concepts like trolls. Well, I've posted at least 1 video from her before. But if you ever want an excellent synthesis of many of these topics, Wynn is fantastic. I got tired of Sanderson's understated sense of humor <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw> [†] the other day and instead watched Natalie explain the modern evolution of "cringe":
https://youtu.be/vRBsaJPkt2Q?t=4607 I've given you the summary slide time link, there. But I highly recommend the whole video. I could quote mine her for days: "You know I've met people who never cringe at themselves. And ... let's just say ... they're not my kind of people." "If it's any consolation ... uh ... nothing matters." [†] E.g. The other day he asked the audience to vote for their favorite number ... they picked "69" and his justification went like: "... which, I assume, is because if you take all of the natural numbers between 1 and 9, and then you look at the divisors of each one of those, you look at the numbers and list all of their divisors and you add up the divisors, it adds up to 69. And adding up divisors like this is a very fun and common thing in number theory so ..." Yeeeaaaahhhh. That's it. They picked 69 because it's fun to add up divisors. >8^D -- ☣ uǝlƃ .-. .- -. -.. --- -- -..-. -.. --- - ... -..-. .- -. -.. -..-. -.. .- ... .... . ...

I've never understood why 99 and 66 aren't equally salacious.
