Maybe you can tell me then?

Peter Fenwick is talking about the phenomena and research into the experience of dying (ELE's) and how we are all going to die whether we like it or not etc so we'd be well advised to get ready for it. There, you don't need to watch it now

LOL Thanks tim. I don't mean to seem difficult. I like Peter. What's an ELE by the way?
It's just on Skeptiko and other forums, people sometimes post quite long videos with no description of what it's about or why it interested them, or even where on the video the relevant content is. I got a bit fed up of spending 30-40 minutes watching something hopefully that didn't seem to go anywhere (not that I think Stan would do that). Conversely, I have probably given up watching some after 30 minutes and at 35 minutes it became relevant. You get the idea.

If Stan can't be bothered telling people why they should watch it, I can't be bothered investing my time.

I know you're not being difficult, Obiwan. We're having a joke, aren't we. ELE's=end of life experiences=DBV's death bed visions and more besides.

I understand that entirely.

I think Stan would assume that you already knew what this might be about, jkmac based on your previous posts TBH ? Maybe he will add some notation to explain it better but I think the thread has done that now anyway.

Absolutely. And thank you.

It's not what it would be about. That's 20 seconds on Wiki for people who aren't familiar.Â
It's w
hat does this video offer that is special. Of particular interest.Â
Throwing a video link up with no explanation means I need to trust that Stan has found a gem that will be of interest or that I have a bit of time to potentially waste finding out.Â
Personally I'd rather watch the Musk BFR video again. At least I definitely know I'm not wasting my time.
For those who haven't seen it: this is Elon's unveiling of the new transportation system that makes all of his current marvels (Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and Dragon 1 and 2) obsolete. He is talking about first launches to Mars in 2022.

"I need to trust that Stan has found a gem"
Do you only watch potential gems, jkmac ? It certainly isn't a gem, more of a 'hot potato'.... but 'hot potatoes' are quite nice you know.
