I kinda feel like Hbomberguy was writing a Master's Thesis on plagiarism and youtube content creators, and then thought "Hey, I could make an accompanying video to go with this!" and then when he was almost don making it he decided "Y'know what, this shouldn't be behind a paywall like my thesis will be, I'll throw it up on youtube."
And then he just. Posted it. The week before Finals Week for most American college students.
Like a massive "This Is Your Final Warning" to all HS and above students who may be considering plagiarizing their final papers or something.

People conditioned to believe all their value as a person comes from their academic grades (despite knowing that the education system is messed up):
“If I can’t (score well in classes) what’s the point of me?”

Hanukkah and Finals Week
or: Burning the Candle at Both Ends
Tonight is the fifth night of Hanukkah. It also happens to be the first day of finals week at my university.
We celebrate Hanukkah as the festival of lights, that time when oil that should have only lasted for a day managed to burn for eight. We fry things in oil and light candles to commemorate the miracle.
I've been thinking about this a lot.
Because the thing is—he whole reason Hanukkah is even a holiday—that the oil burning for so long was a miracle. It should not have lasted for as long as it is. Resources are not infinite.
This is also the time of year when students (and especially grad students) are expected and encouraged to burn the midnight oil and the candle from both ends.
Resources are not infinite.
Sometimes, during situations like this, I use a candle to remind myself of how much I've been working. The rules are simple: light the candle when you start working, blow it out when you're finished. Now the candle is a physical manifestation of the time you have spent working.
Maybe you see where I'm going with this.
Be kind to yourself this finals season (and be kind to your instructors and TAs). Give yourself credit for the work you put in, not just the results you achieve. And if you're really, really not in the position to get a full night's sleep, at least remember that just closing your eyes for 20 minutes to rest makes a huge difference.
