"Organization" is a technology, and as with many technologies, it embodies values.

For some reason the YouTube algorithm doesn’t suggest me your new videos even though your channel is my Favorite channel and I’ve watched every video you’ve made.

Happy to see you're back Josh :) Good luck with the rest of the moving in, and sorry about all the not-very-nice stuff that happened recently. Neat video!

Another video which doesn't merely make people more knowledgeable, but makes them more intelligent (teaches reliable thinking tools). Salutations!

Hope the rest of the move goes smoothly! Love your videos

My sister's favourite method of labeling moving boxes is "Stuff, etc." Accurate, but not necessarily helpful!
I am currently going through a storage unit of boxes that were packed (in some cases very late at night) during my last move 16 years ago.
I found my clarinet carefully packed with my record albums. Apparently 2 AM me thought "Music<--->Music" and assumed that less sleep-deprived me in the future would be able to figure this out.
4:43 James Joyce would disagree with you (but I'm not sure you could figure out what he was saying!).
I personally tend to organize things in my head by their position in space. That is why I was convinced my clarinet would be in the boxes packed up with the stuff from the living room, specifically the stuff that was on the shelves of the end tables since that is where I kept my clarinet.
Very sorry to hear about your initial experiences in your new location. I'm sure things will improve.

This upload is hilariously timed for me, since I've taken my mother on a vacation, and our individually planned systems for organizing ourselves in and out of the hotel clashed at the beginning 😅

Relationships are such a cool invisible organising tool we have to determine the significance of specific groups of human beings to all the other human beings in the planet

Welcome back! Are you taking donations for the recording equipment? I've also had to deal with car break-ins recently and I'd love to support you in getting new equipment to continue this channel! Cheers and thanks for all your work!

Bodies can be organized within clothing. Bras, in particular, have this design or organization quirk about the clasps mostly having to go on the back. They are needed to adjust the band around bodies that can change and vary, and have to sit on the back which makes them hard to close when they are in place, so people either risk injuring their wrists bending their arms backwards to close them or have to close them from the front and rotate the bra, which can damage the fabric. Some have clasps on the front, but they can be weak and reduce the adjustment potential of the band, can be uncomfortable to have sitting on the sternum or press the breasts together which is itself uncomfortable and during the heat, can become a humid little hell. There's a myriad of designs that have to consider weight support and shape, depending on the other clothing that will be used along with them, so most of the time, if the pieces aren't meant to be worn for mere decoration and by themselves, the designs are meant to distribute the tissue for weight bearing and shape. Some are meant to be worn by themselves, some require wiring that can be uncomfortable if the bra is the wrong size for the wearer, some bras have a tissue covering the cleavage to compensate for the other garments' design in case it's a uniform or the only available option but doesn't cover enough skin for the wearer's liking. I'm sure Derek Guy could do a paragraph about men's wear in the same vein lol.

I mean I think an interesting story of an organization system is keyboards and in particular the qwerty layout. Outdated and possibly inefficient but yet we can't bring our selfs to stop using it.

I was just thinking about this
organization be like a reflection of stability

I don't blame others (and myself) when the "normal" 2d maps are used in my education system to teach us the sizes of the countries :)
I only found about it for the first time on an early youtube vsause video

I've come to see Deleuze and Guattari as pragmatists, tbh

I did once think that Greenland was the same size as Africa long ago

Okay so apparently youtube auto-deleted my comment (they never notify you that they have). I left a comment saying the colors were a bit off and suggested you saturate the colors a bit more, make it warmer and c'r'''u''''s'h the a bit more, which is a color correction term but youtube's bot thinks it's something else. I hate this future.
