The first ten minutes of this consists of genuinely new content, with some genuine reflections on my personal life that will interest longstanding viewers of my channel even if they're not interested in learning Chinese. The final 12 minutes are a remix of an old video (that you may or may not be able to remember, even if you've seen it) for reasons explained within the first ten.

The first few minutes of the video refer to "Evildea" —spelled just the way it sounds— who is a professed expert in Esperanto and Toki Pona, I will have you know.

This was first uploaded to Eisel Mazard: Monolingual Polyglot.

Some number of minutes later it materialized on à-bas-le-ciel.

Eventually, it appeared as an episode of Everyone Hates Eisel Mazard on Spotify, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere podcasts are sold…

…HOWEVER, the latter half of this video (i.e., neither including the transitional song nor the monologue intro recorded today) originates as an audio-only podcast on Nihilism Now, under a slightly different title.
