For those who don't know, Rick Beato is one of the biggest music vloggers in the world, kinda like Joe Rogan but only focused on music. He has a lot of great interviews where they talk about creativity and business side of things and pretty much anything related. Not only are his videos well made and very informative, but he actually has managed to make millions of people suddenly interested in progressive, jazz, pop and any other genre they wouldn't probably have ever even thought they would enjoy. And his videos aren't your typical mindless internet crap, but very thoughtful and even theoretical. I think Rick Beato has proved that there is a huge demand for well made mature and educational content that doesn't treat you like a complete moron.

Ted Greene was like Dostoyevsky of guitar: there has never been as deep and thoughtful, yet so harmoniously perfect player on this earth. Ted was an eccentric and a hermit, who really didn't care about money or fame, even though he could've gained both more than most can even dream about. They say Ted had genius level IQ and Asperger, so he was pretty much obsessed with his work as a music teacher and theorist, the only record he ever released is the art of guitar honed to the absolute perfection. They also say, that Ted was a genuinely nice guy who wished his students to succeed.

David Lynch was the last true artist of Hollywood. He was just a genuinely creative guy who created whatever he wanted and could, mostly with tremendous success if not in financial sense, then as an art. Other than just directed movies, Lynch was also a visual artist and released experimental music. At one point Lynch even had some negotiations with Jodorowsky regarding some co-project, but it was never realized.

14.1.
It's a collection of writings about the philosophy of the new era. I just didn't get that it would literally consist of writings from all kinds of thinkers since the 16th century.
Funnily enough Pekka Elo aka Peelo was an academic and a legendary internet troll back in the day. His nickname actually became a synonyme for an internet troll.
