I appreciate the remarkable work you put into these high-quality animations <3.
That said, despite having read this parable before, in the video I still found myself unable to follow the Jester’s initial presentation of the problem; the time limit of <1.5 min seemed like way too tall an order. I wonder if it would’ve been easier to follow along if the inscriptions on the boxes had been depicted as illustrations or pictograms, rather than as the long sentences from the original?
In any case, I felt like that part didn’t translate well from the essay format to the video format. So I guess I should give you all the more kudos for your other animations, which somehow manage these difficult adaptations more successfully than I would’ve thought possible O_o.
PS: I looked at your Patreon page, and the one-sentence description at the top is cut-off: “creating animated videos about truth-seeking, science, and the f”
Thank you for the heads-up about the Patreon page; I’ve corrected it!
Given that the logic puzzle is not the point of the story (i.e., you could understand the gist of what the story is trying to say without understanding the first logic puzzle), I’ve decided not to use more space to explain it. I think the video (just like the original article) should be watched one time all at once and then another time, but pausing multiple times and thinking about the logic.
