I'll second the computers for cynics. I don't think one of that series is about blockchain but he does have other videos about blockchain.

For those who don't know computers for cynics is his series about questioning the origins of the status quo and considering alternative futures with different foundations.

Is the seventh in the series: https://youtu.be/3CMucDjJQ4E published on Sep 2014, six years ago, and a must-watch account for any outsider even in 2020. Enjoy it!

Ah I didn't even realize the list I sent wasn't from his account. Thanks for the correction!

That 2014 video is so revealing... I think it deserves a post of its own :-)
