Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur is a series of videos talking about the future as it relates to technological innovations. He talks about space exploration & colonization, issues & logistics of maintaining galactic civilizations, trans-humanist & post-human concepts (cybernetics/bionics, genetic alteration, whole brain emulation, artificial intelligence, uplifted animals, etc.), the Fermi paradox (how likely is it to find intelligent life on other planets), artificial worlds & mega-structures, and the like. It is a great resource if you are working an a realistic sci-fi setting.
Just a heads-up: The videos are fairly long — about 40-60 minutes — which means you can run it in the background while you are doing something else. Also, Isaac has a speech impediment that makes him sound like Elmer Fudd, but besides his videos being closed captioned, it stops being an issue once you get used to it.
