Celebrating Thomas Paine: My Favorite Founding Father
In the spirit of celebrating America, the country of my birth and the county I love, I made this video to celebrate one of America’s founding fathers, Thomas Paine. He might not get as much recognition as other founding fathers, but his ideas were very much ahead of their time and helped shape the course of American history. Enjoy!

The Big Bang Theory | Penny & Leonard | A Relationship Of Unequals
This video is from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video essay is an exploration of the relationship between Penny and Leonard Hoffsteader in The Big Bang Theory. This show remains one of my favorites and it had a number of romantic sub-plots over the course of many seasons. But Penny and Leonard was always the primary romance and one of the biggest sources of drama.
However, their romance is also one that is decidedly unbalanced and even a bit unhealthy, at times.
I still rooted for them, but I found that process very frustrating. I try to explain why in this video while also breaking down some common flaws in sitcom romance. Enjoy!

How The Terminator Franchise Has Declined And How To Revive It
This video is a breakdown of the sad, but not surprising decline of the Terminator franchise. After the underperformance of Terminator: Dark Fate, the state of this franchise has never been lower.
However, I do not believe that the Terminator is done completely. I believe there is still a way to revive it for a new audience and a new generation. I make that case, as well. I even offer a potential scenario. Enjoy!

Jack’s Comic Gems: Meet The Skrulls
This is another video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This is another addition to my “Jack’s Comic Gems” collection. And this particular gem stands out because it’s a story about the Skrulls and just before the debut of Secret Invasion, no less.
Anybody who has read a lot of Marvel comics know that stories about the Skrulls tend to be predictable, revolving around infiltration and invasion. Meet The Skrulls dares to be something more. It’s not just a story about Skrull agents infiltrating Earth. It’s a story about family. And it’s a story about how that family fights to survive when both humans and even their fellow Skrulls work against them. Enjoy!

Jack’s (Non-Expert) Proposal For A Universal Basic Income Alternative
This is another video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is another exploration on the impact of advanced artificial intelligence. Specifically, it highlights the possibility of how to structure society in an era when automation fueled by AI changes the nature of the economy. There have been many proposals on how best to build society around this economy. A universal basic income is often a popular proposal. While I am largely a proponent of such a policy, I think there’s room for something bolder. This video is my proposal for something that takes UBI a step further. Enjoy!

IT’S OFFICIAL: ULTIMATE MARVEL IS RETURNING!
This is another video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is me reacting to Marvel’s big announcement that Ultimate Marvel is returning. After the events of Ultimate Invasion, Jonathan Hickman is set to launch a rebooted version of the Ultimate Universe for a new generation. Having advocated for this in previous videos, I am very excited about this. But I also have reservations that are worth highlighting as we prepare for this new Marvel universe. Enjoy!
