I love Simon's ability to simplify the complexities of the technology and that he's got so much detail memorised.

10:25 reminds me of Corning's "vermillion" technology for sunglasses. The theory is that daylight is very blue, and when a reddish tint, or coating is applied to the lens, it increases not only contrast but chromatic definition. I had one of those glasses, and it is quite interesting; once you put it on things look quite pinkish, or magenta, but in minutes your brain ajusts, and things look incredibly clear. Then, after some time, when you remove the glasses, the world looks flat and blue.

Arai helmet saved my life in my massive motorcycle crash in 2018. I was able to learn to walk again after 7months. Last year I got back on motorcycle. I got myself new helmet too. It was Arai again :)
