And the Destiny. Thank you so much for being here.

Yeah, thanks for having me.

Cosmic. Do people call you Cosmic or Alex or what?

Pete, I was going to ask you the same thing, not if people call you Cosmic, but I tend to prefer

Alex. In fact, I'm considering getting rid of the Cosmic Skeptic moniker altogether.

It's kind of a pseudonym that sounds like a gametag that I came up with when I was like

14 which isn't far off what actually happened so I'm considering shaking it off but

having a bit of a brand identity crisis so we'll figure that eventually.

Where did a cosmic skeptic come from just early internet edgy philosophy name or what?

You know what it is? There's this guy and there's no reason why he would have any reason to be watching my videos, but I think years and years ago, we used to, I did this thing where we like made music together at some music club or something, and I saw that he'd set up this sound cloud and his name on sound cloud used the word cosmic and I was like that's a pretty cool word so when I was trying to come up with a with a YouTube name, I thought cosmic works and I was going to go for cosmic critic

Which sort of makes me internally cringe, but then I guess so did cosmic skeptic at the time, but there was the whole

I don't know it just sounded a

bit better and to be honest it looks nice written down which is I think a

slightly underrated quality of a good YouTube name have you seen the thing

where the guy it's like a branding guy and he says,

you know, which one of these pictures is Kiki and which one is Boba?

Have you seen that thing?

I have not, no.

So he gets like a, it's like a picture of some sort of spiky 2D object and another one's like this sort of, you know, this, this rounded lobby object.

And he says, which one of these is Kiki and which one is Boba.

And the audience immediately identified the spiky one as kiki and the sort of rounded one as boba and he's sort of making this point that people sort of put things together in a way that you might not expect.

He asked if the lemon, the taste of lemon is a fast taste or a slow taste.
