    To sit there & show a few photos of small creatures but pretend there’s not also absolutely terrifying disgusting & downright enormous & massive creatures in the ocean for example the giant squid (basically the size of a whale) the goblin shark literally all kinds of sharks and whales & killer whales & massive eels is insane to me. His presentation sounds nice & all & I get where he’s coming from but he’s also not giving a realistic picture

    • Jude Govender

      December 2, 2022 at 2:37 pm

      But all these are not deep sea creatures, certainly not to depths greater than say 6000m. These fearsome beasts should target be called Monsters of the Middle Sea.

    • JohnTux

      December 2, 2022 at 8:32 pm

      @Jude Govender If you show the picture of a Kraken and then not mention the giant squid as a marine biologist it makes me question what else are you not telling me? I believe he makes a good point and I am not questioning it. Just feel that there are actually exiting things that could have been mentioned even though they don’t technically belong in the deepest parts. As he said it is just one ocean.

    • Jude Govender

      December 3, 2022 at 2:54 am

      @JohnTux I see the point better now. Yes, he could certainly have done that. Thanks

    • SunRey E

      December 5, 2022 at 8:12 am

      @JohnTux Nah, the point was to challenge the narrative or our collective imaginations of the deep sea. Which is why he transitioned to showing something that does exist at 6000m. The giant squid has so far been spotted at 759m and 900m (wikipedia). Not anywhere near the 6000-7000m where he has explored. He’s got 12 minutes, better for him to focus on his main points. Showing the giant squid could backfire on that effort.

    • JohnTux

      December 5, 2022 at 12:14 pm

      @SunRey E I see that the point is to challenge the narrative. The kraken depicts the narrative he is trying to challenge. That narrative probably has its roots in reality via the giant squid especially for the kraken. He wants to blur the line for the depth classes and wishes that everyone sees it as one ocean. If time is of the essence then don’t show the kraken to begin with. He made the effort to present the Anglerfish, but glossed over the squid. Cherry picking the facts to present in my mind undermines his goal for the talk.

      Still I am not disagreeing with his overall statement. I personally just found the presentation a bit disingenuous and that can backfire the effort more than the truth.

    • SunRey E

      December 5, 2022 at 9:01 pm

      @JohnTux  Yeah might’ve been better not to show the old kraken picture. But I hope that detail doesn’t distract you from the bigger picture. Giant squid is just not in the range of the deep-sea creatures he’s highlighting.

      Scary ocean creatures exist, sure, but
      Many actual deep-sea creatures are not so scary and they are important, was his point. So he got photos to back that up, as he should. That’s not a bad thing to do.

      (Personally I was hoping to see something bioluminescent but oh well)
      Have a nice day 🙂

    • JohnTux

      December 5, 2022 at 10:32 pm

      @SunRey E Indeed someone has to take care of the stuff that ends up there. In the end it is one ocean that is a big part of the ecosystem on one planet. Everything is connected in one way or another. Have an awesome day too 🙂

      Too much water movement to freeze I suppose.

    • Craig Minns

      December 3, 2022 at 5:11 am

      He was talking in Celcius degrees, but regardless, the pressure reduces the freezing point. At 3000 metres, the pressure is about 300 atmospheres, or around 4500psi. The freezing point of water at that pressure is about -3 C, or 27F. At 6000 m, it’s about -5C, or 23F

      @Terry Pasca there’s a lot of money to be made in crypto. I been trying to stick with index funds. I feel this new interest rates hikes could crash this economy. I’m looking out for a better investing strategy, I have a lump sum that inflation is steady eating up. i need help.. How do I reach him?

    • Terry Pasca

      check the web and you will find him, drop a msg

    • George Anthony

      December 2, 2022 at 5:07 pm

      I ran a quick check on Mr Korducki. he’s well regulated. His qualification seem solid with positive reviews, he seems checked out. Also his services are available outside of the US for foreign investors.. Is he that good?

    I’m not particularly scared of the ocean. I get scared of when thinking of being crushed by the oceanic pressure as much as if with a falling building.
    Though what we do not fear we are often kinder to. So we should really enjoy the ocean, as we need it intact to survive ourselves.
    I kinda want a VR robot to go down there and pet some fishes and stuff : D

    Is this a good time to buy stocks/crypto in the Europe? I know everyone is saying stocks are at a discount and all, but just how long will It take for us to recover, obviously there are strategies to manoeuvre in this present market but these strategies doesn’t come common to the average folk, or am I better off putting my money elsewhere.

      @Rose Allen I agree, that’s the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an inv-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around short & long term holdings for profit realisation, coupled with the exclusive analysis they possess, it’s near impossible to not out-perform. I’ve been investing with a coach literally for 4years, and have accrued approx. $1.4m in net-profits thus far.

      December 7, 2022 at 6:07 am

      @Lance N. Russo congrats. this is huge! mind sharing info on the coach that assists you? cos i’ve got a bunch of stocks that keeps tanking and don’t know if its best to just dump amidst ongoing inflation.

      @Rose Allen I am guided by ASHLEY AIRAGAHI I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her. She has since provided entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care supervision.
