After a period of stepping back to study, reorganize, and elevate the entire creative process of the channel, today I’m releasing the 5th episode of our Artificial Intelligence series — and it marks a new phase in my work.

Over the past few weeks, I immersed myself deeply in cinematic narrative structure. The result is a script with a true “cinematic soul”: more mature, built around acts and beats, with a clear visual intention. Without a doubt, it is the most solid and well-structured material I’ve produced so far.

What to expect from this episode and from the series:

In this chapter, we focus on Artificial Narrow Intelligence — what it is, what it is not, and how this technology truly works when examined through the lens of Science.

📌 Important: The series continues and will be a long journey. For now, we are centered on the Science playlist, but upcoming episodes will be announced at the right time and will begin exploring other fundamental territories of the channel:

Psychology
Religion
Philosophy

Each theme will have its own specific focus and will be organized within its respective thematic playlist, because each lens deserves a dedicated perspective.

This video represents a maturation not only in content, but in method and creative awareness within Tender Reason. If you value understanding the world with depth, clarity, and intellectual responsibility, this episode was made for you.

Thank you for being here, following along, and growing together.

Over the past few days, I’ve been in an intense phase of reading and implementation.
Around 700 pages of insightful, serious, and genuinely enjoyable reading.

But as counterintuitive as it may sound, reading is the easy part — applying, testing, and refining is the hard one.

This period was dedicated to deep study, testing, and structural adjustments to the channel’s creative process — especially in scripts, titles, and thumbnails.
It’s a less visible phase, but an essential one: turning knowledge into real implementation takes time, validation, and method.

Two books were fundamental in this process and are strong recommendations for anyone interested in cinema, YouTube, and structured creative work:

• The YouTube Formula — Derral Eves
• Story — Robert McKee

The next episode is confirmed for Wednesday (18), with the following video releasing on Saturday.

In the meantime, feel free to binge the channel, explore the thematic playlists, and dive into the Artificial Intelligence series.

We keep building.

A brief pause — to grow the right way

Next Monday, this channel completes three months since it began.

Three months may seem short in YouTube time, but they are long enough for something important: to look back carefully — instead of moving forward on autopilot.

Over the past few days, I’ve been deeply immersed in studying storytelling, structure, and content strategy — including finishing full books in a short time. This process revealed a series of necessary micro-adjustments: small refinements that, together, make the difference between simply publishing videos… and building a solid, coherent, and sustainable channel.

That’s why I decided to take a short pause from publishing.

This is not a step back.
It’s an immersion.

I’ll use this time to analyze the channel’s data more carefully, understand who is here, how the videos are being received, and—most importantly—how to make the content clearer, more engaging, and more aligned with the project’s purpose.

We are still a small group here compared to the scale of YouTube. But it’s a thoughtful, curious, and generous community. Many of you watch regularly, write messages, and share feedback. That does not go unnoticed—and it’s a strong incentive not only to keep going, but to improve exactly the points that need improvement.

The next video will be released on February 10, marking the return with Episode 5 of the Artificial Intelligence saga.

Thank you for being here from the beginning.
Real growth is rarely loud — but it is almost always intentional.

See you soon.

Episode 04 of The AI Saga: Science, Soul & Silicon is now live.

In this episode, I go straight to the central question of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) —
how far AI can really go, where technical progress ends, and where real risks begin.

No science fiction. No exaggeration.
Just science, AI history, and the dilemmas that are already in play.

👉 This series also works as a podcast and is currently the most-watched playlist on the channel.
If you already follow Tender Reason, this episode sits at the core of the project.

Let me know in the comments:
do you think we’re close to AGI — or trapped in another cycle of promises?

10 Ways the World Ends: A Scientific Countdown from Infinity to Now

This video is part of the playlist The Nature of Reality – Science, Physics & the Cosmos.

In it, I explore ten real scenarios — some natural, others directly or indirectly shaped by human action — that could lead humanity toward extinction or a profound civilizational collapse.

The structure may resemble a list, but the goal is not to catalogue doomsday scenarios.
It’s to use different possibilities to reflect on scale, probability, and fragility — not only of our civilization, but of our place within a vast, dynamic universe that still holds forces we barely understand.

Some of these events unfold over millions of years.
Others could emerge within decades.
And some… don’t wait for a timetable.

The central question isn’t only about the risks we create ourselves.
It’s also about how much the universe can still surprise us — even if we behaved as an exemplary civilization.

Science doesn’t exist solely to explain the universe.
It also reveals patterns, limits, and consequences — and often acts as a mirror, showing us how we have behaved over time as a species.

PS: This Wednesday, the next episode in the Artificial Intelligence series goes live — and it directly connects with one of the threats discussed in this video. If this topic caught your attention, chances are the Wednesday episode will too.

This is Episode Three of The AI Saga: Science, Soul & Silicon.

In this chapter, the history of artificial intelligence is revisited from the early twentieth century onward, tracing the relationship between what was technically possible in each era and what was repeatedly promised about AI’s future.

Rather than focusing only on machines, algorithms, or recent breakthroughs, this episode examines a recurring pattern: the human desire to create an intelligence equal to—or greater than—our own, and the persistent frustration that follows when that promise fails to materialize.

By moving through cycles of enthusiasm, limitation, collapse, and revival, the video shows how many of the difficulties faced by AI users today—overinflated expectations, the illusion of proximity, unexpected limits—were already present at the very origins of the field.

More than a historical timeline, this episode is a mirror:
a story about artificial intelligence that ultimately reveals far more about our expectations, projections, and insistence than about the machines themselves.

Weekly update 🚀

Tomorrow, the third episode of the Artificial Intelligence series will be released.
And the weekly video will go live on Saturday.

Over the past few days, I’ve spent time thinking and researching about pacing, reach, and quality. I came to the conclusion that, at this moment, three videos per week don’t make sense: they increase stress, don’t bring proportional gains, and can easily saturate the topics.

So I’m sticking with the format I’ve already been delivering: two videos per week.
This week, the releases will be on Wednesday and Saturday.
Next week, most likely Tuesday and Friday, to compare performance.

The standard remains the same: careful review, solid research, and production at the highest possible level.

Moving forward. Let’s go. 💪📚

Update: last week I couldn’t deliver all three uploads as planned.
One episode had to be postponed because a PC error corrupted my CapCut project, forcing me into another full, final round of roughly 10 hours of editing.

The good news: the schedule is still three videos per week — I’m just refining the best release days to make it sustainable and consistent long-term.

With that said, the second video of the week goes live tomorrow night (Friday) — a new episode from the Religion & Reason playlist.

If you watched Episode 01 (Turing) and you still haven’t watched Episode 02 (Cybernetics), you’re missing the link that holds the series together.

Episode 01: intelligence as a mirror.
Episode 02: feedback as the invisible machine behind modern life.

Episode 2 of the Artificial Intelligence series is now live.

A brief message to the 76 people who helped build this channel in its first two months — thank you so much and a request: watch the new videos, there are 3 every week, always covering the themes of Tender Reason: science, philosophy, religion, and psychology.

If you're new here (or if you watched a video and disappeared into the algorithm), this is the best starting point:

Episode 01: The Turing Mirror: Why intelligence isn't what you think it is?

Episode 02: Are we trapped in a cybernetic machine?

👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acytn...

These two episodes were created to be watched together — watch Ep. 01 first and then go straight to Ep. 02.

If you like the episodes, share one with someone.

Not even the smartest machines can replace human oral communication… yet. 😉
