This channel is your Sift source for private study.

You'll find videos produced to teach you something. There are formal lectures, educational content from Smarter Every Day, Sixty Symbols and the like, and lots of other things to get your brain cells buzzing.

- normal news broadcasts, exposé journalism, biographical interviews, personal experience stories => (*news, *talks)
- crazy, interesting, neat things that were caught on video => (*wtf, *comedy)
- stupid people "learning the hard way" => (*EIA, *fail, *fear)

Allow posting of video from standard URL (not embed code)
