Stories like this are why I donate my CPU/GPU time to SiDock/Rosetta/Folding@home. We all can make a difference, even if our contributions are small.

      Totally agreed, thanks for the perspective.

      Setting aside the loonies on either side of the pond, I do think understanding the cultural difference is important, if only because it sets a standard of social acceptability. Destin’s (mild) religious proselytizing would be off-putting and socially… challenging(?) coming from any of the French-speaking YouTubers I follow for example.
      But coming from an American, I still find it personally off-putting but I can just chalk that feeling up to different cultural sensibilities and suck it up.
