Cool, Ali! Love the thought that you just share stuff you like, enoy or find useful.. No matter if just recently or if you do so for a long period of time ;) I definately support that!!

[razbrosh]

Hey Ali, thank you very much for all of your amazing videos!
I am starting med school in October and I have a question: What would you recommend doing during a lecture. Regarding active recall and the fact that most classes already have good notes, would you recommend only writing down questions during the lecture, writing my own summary or just listening to the professor?

Yay, it is finally here. I watched Joe Gebbia's interview and read The Name of the Wind. I love your suggestions :)

[RigbyDesigns]

Im a huge fan of you mate, one of my personal favorite creators on this platform.

Love the time stamps on your videos, very helpful! I've tried duolingo, memrise and drops (all good for different reasons) but haven't tried R.S shall give it a go. (Been trying to learn French this year)

Do you notice a difference in sound quality between the 2 sets of earphones? I've bought a couple of pairs on Amazon and the sound quality is poor and the range isn't great, they weren't budget buys but also not too pricey either. I may invest in a premiums pair at some point.

Storm 👏🏼 Light 👏🏼 Archives 👏🏼 I love Brandon Sanderson and I'm starting the Way of Kings but I'm a 3rd year vet school students so need to find some me time to read. Haven't heard a bad thing about it!

[christinaann]

[jay]

Always wanted to ask you, where i can get the same exact glasses you have ? What brand is it ? They are very nice looking (:

[lesliegraham]

Hello Ali. Was happy to see there was this type of video to watch from you.. it would be great to have a book review series from you.

[nishanth.f]

Try the series Malazan Book Of The Fallen

[MarkWillisMaths]

Another great video thank you. Sorry to hear about your Airpods.

[ayazakaria]

I don't seem to get enough of your videos, great content every time ^_^

[MrBorington]

I am just waiting for the Apple event on Sep12 to see if there will be a new AirPods...if not then I will get the current one.

[romainlaporte]

Hi ali there’s an error in the description in the most popular videos part in the video talking about your setup. It is written « mu » and it is « my ». By the way, I loved your video it has been very very interesting. Thanks !

[irum]

I would be very interested in the book review series. I’ve dabbled in fantasy but the only series I’m into at the moment is the Red Queen one.
Also, if you ever get sick of Rosetta Stone, I think Duolingo is awesome and they might have a Japanese course. I can’t wait to finish my degree so I can get the Urdu Rosetta stone and fully commit to it!

[DrAdnan]

Sam Kolder’s work is absolutely legendary. Matt Komo is also really good.
