This dude is <mind blowing>. Big respect.

Some of the most impressive videos are the ones in which he goes and extracts metals from minerals himself all the way.

But God, the typography of the channel name is so insane! Why no space???

Shame the academic system wasn't compatible with him: https://www.reddit.com/r/codyslab/comments/f5531p/codys_qualifications/ Maybe there were safety issues involved though.

Cody'sLab

{wiki}

<Ciro Santilli> found out that he likes computer security researchers and vice versa.

It's a bit the same reason why he likes <physicists>: you can't bullshit with security.

You can't just talk nice and hope for people to belive you.

You can't not try to break things and just <security through obscurity>[keep everyone happy in their false illusion of safety].

You can't do a half job.

If you do any of that, you \i[will] get your ass handed to you in a little gift bag.

All of this is closely linked to <Ciro Santilli's self perceived creative personality> and <being naughty and creative are correlated>.
