Only 12 minutes for 9 years of mistakes? Look at Mr. Competent over here.

Tom Scott is one of the GOAT. I will miss his weekly videos.

Wait what? Will he stop making videos?

No. He's just stopping weekly uploads. He'll still upload on an irregular basis.

Oh, yeah. More channels should do that sort of thing.

Yeah, don't overthink it. There is always tomorrow.

Easier said than done. As a person that has struggled with anxiety, I can honestly say that intrusive thoughts are a real thing for me.

While your advice is spot-on, it can be really hard just to "not think". Brains are stupid and don't always function on command, unfortunately. If there is any hint of evidence to support Freud's theory of a "death drive", intrusive thoughts would be it.

Exactly, don't dwell on mistakes of the past. Get excited for mistakes of the future!
