I am somehow less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002)
2019 Spelling Bee
Recorded: May 30th, 2019
Notes:
Normal speed. The three words the video focuses on are parochialism, horripilation and kentledge. Perhaps the producers had a certain someone in mind. MAGA today cataclysm tomorrow. The 2018 champion, Karthik Nemmani, spent 36 hours a week studying for the competition. Ouch!
