Background

eGuiders sprung from a conversation between a new media producer, Marc Ostrick,[4] and a Columbia University professor, Evangeline Morophos in response to growing clutter of online video.[5] They had considered collaborating on a book on the evolution of online video, but opted to gather a group of friends and colleagues to directly help people cut through the clutter. Hollywood professionals currently participating with eGuiders include:

gollark: (Sidenote: interestingly, apparently the development of farming actually led to significantly *worse* life for people for quite a long time, because it allowed much more population per land area, causing people to end up at a subsistence level and quite malnourished and stuff)
gollark: Modern supply chains are complex, and while we could not have those you would then lose out on stuff like microelectronics, medical things, and the economies of scale meaning you can have nice things cheaply.
gollark: How is that better? We need widescale coordination to do anything.
gollark: It's *great* if you like dying of otherwise preventable diseases, after a life basically free of any modern amenities consisting of... hunter-gathering, or whatever people did.
gollark: * carcinize
