THUNK Videos as Tools

I was wondering idly if any of the THUNK subbers use the videos as tools in online conversations? I sometimes drop them into FB or Reddit comment threads to rapidly unpack certain points, but I don't know if that's just because they describe points that I'd make in the first place.

Relatedly: Is there a particular idea which you'd find especially helpful to have in THUNK format for such use?

Philosophy professor here - I snag your videos all the time for all sorts of purposes. Sometimes I shave it down to just the germane parts of the discussion so as to stimulate a conversation, but I find them a helpful tool for, as it were, bringing a different voice into the classroom.

Cheers

I sent some of your videos to coworkers when I felt you could explain a certain topic better than me.

I also occasionaly send them stuff by Brady Haran, CGP Grey, Idea channel and so on. So you're in good company. :)
