Inspiration & Reference
I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

Isaac Arthurs Channel 
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFipeZtQM5CKUjx6grh54g/playlists

These vids provide some great insight into general cosmology and theories like Dyson Spheres/Swarms, faster than light travel and general Fermi Paradox problems.
Megastructures, a possible space elevator, transhumanism, Kardashev-scale civs, colonizing planets, the Drake equation, the Alcubierre drive and wormholes.
Even the Simulation Hypothesis by Nick Bostrom gets a good treatment.

Mindblowing stuff, subsribe now!

Isaac has a weird pronunciation because of a birthdefect(? i think), he cannot pronunciate the "R" as normal people can.

All vids have subs though, it is more easy to follow him this way.

What Happens If Human Beings Can�t Handle The Power Of Their Weapons? 
 
"As I said, human beings are 70+ years into an on-going experiment to see if they can adapt or evolve to handle their weapon's technology. So far, so good. But let's remember that we are a long way from the edge of this tightrope. These might not even be the most powerful weapons we are creative enough to invent. And the systems we have in place still have human beings involved, which is one of those variables that makes it tough to think that we can go another 100, 30 or so years, and have the human story end with the words '...and we lived happily, ever after.'" Dan Carlin
