Did he get overconfident after beating Mike Tyson?
I don’t know if he was confident to win, but probably his main goal was to make money and not to win.

Why do people like to watch one-sided fights?
Perhaps Jake Paul managed to advertize so that spectators believed he had chances.
Why Zebra has stripes, and why is it black and white? Maybe QR codes and Go games with a lot of fighting patterns would also be useful for deterring flies.

Don’t Be a Sucker (1945)
Don’t Be a Sucker is an anti-fascist film produced by the United States Army Signal Corps. It follows a mason, Mike, who buys into the prejudiced beliefs of a demagogic street speaker until the speaker denounces Freemasons.
A Hungarian Professor refugee (Paul Lukas) then tells Mike how the same prejudiced beliefs led to the rise of fascism in Germany. The film argues that both majority and minority groups are harmed by fascism, and that Americans must unify against fascism regardless of race, religion, or national origin. Don’t Be a Sucker saw a resurgence in popularity after the Unite the Right rally in 2017.

The above is noteworthy especially as today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day:
— and also in the light of recent events in the USA, specifically in Minneapolis.
The Great Dictator is one of the finest movies I’ve ever seen: intelligent, funny, warning, and with a love for the people.

There are a few more instances there, other languages also, some w/ subtitles, otherwise you can find subs elsewhere on the ’net.
The speech scene (from 1:59:00) is especially famous:

This is an interesting idea that links the evolution of writing/teaching/accounting with board games, and is similar to my own working hypothesis about the early form of weiqi or shape rearraging gams from teaching elites about geopolitics and geography in ancient chiefdoms/city states alliances.

Interesting, thanks!
And I also find it funny (and nice) how sometimes Stefan Milo is shaved and sometimes his beard has been growing longer, thus showing us that such a video can be a work of several weeks or even more time

I believe I have a degree of this syndrome for my whole life, the Visual snow syndrome, and help me from a young age to see patterns in my eyes, literally, not just “in my head”. I wonder how many Go players, especially pros have a higher percentage (those gifted)

Isn’t it just blood flowing in the retina?
Or is it a different kind of “snow”?
For VSS the real cause is still somewhat unknown, but most likely of a neurological origin. There are similar symptoms related to the eyes themselves, but they are short-lived. VSS persists for life (the “snow” or more precisely “patterns” in the field can last a long time, Palinopsia is the VSS symptom that might help “seeing” patterns even if you don’t want to. They are not something you pictured in your mind, the patterns literally look like somethings floating in front of you)
