What is he talking about again ?
He's talking about how energy is required for pretty much everything, like if you were going to make donuts (on a stove for some reason) it would take energy, it took energy for them to get to your home, etc. I always hated things like this, like this is one of the most coherent things he's said, it's like the boy who cried wolf, when it's actually noteworthy we're already tired of hearing it.
Agree. People in this thread pretending they don't understand what he's saying...that's just bad faith criticism that they're angry enough to excuse in themselves right now. Resist that shit.
Given just the added context of his tone of speech in the audio, his meaning became immediately clear. If we had two or three sentences of additional context on either side of this quote, my guess is the text would have been just as easily understandable as the video was.
