Andrej Karpathy's "Neural Networks: From Zero to Hero". https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html Just watch the first lecture and you won't be able to not watch the rest. It starts with making your own autograd engine in 100 lines of python, similar to PyTorch and then builds up to a GPT network. He's one of the best in the field, founder of OpenAI, then Director of AI at Tesla. Nothing like the scam tutorials that just…

Let me help you there. Have you considered writing: "I think this lecture series is overrated, because $SERIES_A and $SERIES_B is much better, because ..."

His course on the Modern Political Tradition has the same effect on political thought and its the evolution. Both are on Audible as well.
Human Behavioral Biology, a Stanford course taught by Robert Sapolsky. It's a thorough look on some of our behaviors through the lens of hormones, neural/nervous system, and how evolution shaped us. Also, Pr Sapolsky is a great speaker with a complete deadpan humor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g6fA&list=PL848F2368C...
Not sure best ever, but I really enjoyed “The Other Side of History” (available from Great Courses Plus now Wonderium). I found the deep dive into daily life through history helped me better understand the common threads that all humans experience. Course Description: Imagine you're a Greek soldier marching into battle in the front row of a phalanx. Or an Egyptian woman putting on makeup before attending an evening p…
In the Great Courses vein, I really loved "great ideas of philosophy". Another favorite is "a history of freedom".
A lot of the courses are more like somebody reading out a textbook.
