came here to post just that. Issac's channel is definitely worth the time.

If you like Isaac Arthur, don't forget John Michael Godier[1]! His videos tend to be short (3-5 minutes on average, sometimes longer) and cover a similar range of topics albeit with a focus on current events in addition to scifi and futurism. Isaac Arthur has done a couple of collaborations with JMG, too.

The thing I love about Isaac Arthur is that he does these collaborations in part to drive some of his traffic to smaller channels that are just as interesting. He's a fantastic guy.
