I made a new video, sort of as an experiment (with a bad microphone, will get another one for next video). The slides are here. I talk about economics of immigration, mainly from a Nordic perspective, of course, I take a very data-heavy approach. Main goals of doing these:

• Scientific impact. I almost never watch any videos on science, but many do.
• Public understanding of science. I present a lot of facts that one must be mindful of if one wants to be serious about the topic.
• Fundraising. Basically, you should give me your money, so I can keep doing more science. I’m on Subscribestar, which is a less censorious version of Patreon (I’m on Patreon too if you must use it).
