As the title says, I'm looking for a video where the creator gradually decreases the effort they put into the video.

More specifically, they argue that you don't really need great graphics, which are then dropped. Then, that a great camera isn't necessary, the mic, then video itself, then sound, until it's just text on a screen.

I may be misremembering the order, but the point of the video was that while these elements aren't essential, they do make the video better, again, if I remember correctly.

I hope someone remembers this video.

I love Kim Stanley Robinson’s books, and am reading (in some case re-reading) his books in order. At some point, I’m going to get to Green Earth, but since it’s a reworking of the Science in the Capitol trilogy, I wanted to find out just how much it adds/leaves out/changes.

Is the difference significant enough to merit a “re-read”? I'm particularly interested in characterization, but I'm also curious if the science itself has been significantly changed, with resulting plot changes.

Thanks!
