I spent most of this episode in my pants watching YouTube.  Clips used are for educational purposes. The series up to this point was on a roll with reviews like "I'm enjoying it much more than I thought I would" - but this was a big test to keep the underwhelming momentum up.  Systems is such a monster of a subject but I hope you get something from it.

Additional thanks to James Sills (@JRDSills) off of Twitter for talking about Elon's 5 steps.
