I remember an Isaac constantly apologising for his speech impediment. That was many moons ago. The world was in a better place back then, but Isaac is a shining beacon of hope in the reality we currently live in
Indeed, but no need to apologize really. It did take a few of his earlier episodes to get "used" to this, but this was really helped, for me, when I watched an episode where he's on camera. This seemed to fix any initial listening "difficulties" for good. I also have first-hand experience of a speech impediment, during my youth and early 20s. Isaac is certainly a great narrator and presenter (one of the best I know of) and I for one get a great deal of enjoyment from watching these videos.
I've been here from 2015ish... also went back and watched pretty much everything from the very beginning too. Still remember the speech impediment apologies, it's remarkable how much your voice has improved since then though that was never an issue for me. The writing and ideas discussed is what makes this show so special. Also, somewhat amusingly, when I initially stumbled upon your channel, i actually remember doubting the realism of your incredibly realistic topics. Anyway, congrats on being here for 10 years, looking forward to still tuning into this show every Thursday at the end of the universe.
"Outward expansion is not our thing. We prefer to look inward. Like... REALLY far inward." Could we call it the "introvert" solution to the Fermi paradox?
@@Roguescienceguy Yes good point! I had alien civilizations in mind but I didn't explain it well. With a combo of clarketech miniaturization and clarketech ascension they could "expand inwardly," then blink out while leaving no signs that they ever existed in our frame of reference. Extreme introverts! 😅
@@Stevie-J good one👍. I can even see it happening out of necessity. When resources get low, one might opt for extreme miniaturisation as an alternative to digitisation.
I just realized I have been watching Isaac for over 8 years, Congratulations Isaac on 10 years. I also want to say thank you for all of the information you have provided over the years.
Isaac you are exemplary, really. We need more science communicators that manage to refute pseudoscience without also rejecting the concept of spirituality.* *I know spiritual people do that too in reverse and even more so, but people being uncivilized doesn't excuse those with the higher moral and intellectual ground stooping to their level.
Most spiritual people do not do that. I don't know what are you talking about. Maybe you see a vocal minority in your life. Even this episode starts with a Jesuite scientists. Most sci-fi authors and scientists are also spiritual people. So there is a huge overlap in the Venn diagram. Also spiritual covers more than religious. Most non spiritual people I know of respects spiritual people as do most spiritual people. You just need to shut out close minded aggressive asses from your life.
I know shutting out those is super hard if they are family. Tough of they are colleagues. But super easy with all other people. Like UA-camrs, podcasters, lecturers, etc.
@@4124V4TA-SNPCA-x Hmmm I can agree to that, though it's a bit hard for me but I am working on it. The people I was talking about though were mainly big shot 'spiritualists' and cult leaders like Deepack Chopra and the like who tend to use spirituality to either undermine science or misuse science to make their claims stronger. I consider them very dangerous because they appeal strongly to the need of self-trascendence and use it against people while also damaging our scientific development in the short and long term.
Hmm..very coy is not seeing spirituality as the pesudo-science it is as well. True is that you must play by the rule of the lander to ease them to you if you plan on obtaining the right ending.
12:40 is solving the Fermi paradox very neatly. Advanced civilizations quickly realize that they can achieve more with less. That they miniaturize their civilization and optimize it by creating "pocket universes" in which they can be gods in a playground of their own making. Makes absolute sense.
It's way more efficient than "conquering the galaxy" or some other ridiculous endeavor. Stay small and maximize the local resources. It's the most logical approach.
There is actually simple explanation for that. Lag issue! Communication become crucial factor for advanced civilization and sometimes it make more sense to compact civilization then expand. Dyson Swarm running Matrioshka Brain with billions living in virtual reality, is in every possible way more effective.
If there is a multiverse, I wonder if, when I dream, that dream comes from thousands of copies of myself, and some of "my" thoughts in those universes. One dream I had even probably saved my life. I was a kid climbing a tree everyday, but didn't know that the tree's wood was very brittle (a sumac tree). One night I dreamed that the top of the tree broke, and I fell from about 20 feet high. After that dream, I didn't climb that tree again.
The other option I can see is that while Transcendence does exist and it may be popular, we lack the means of seeing and understanding what is or is not transcended. This whole time we've been assuming we can recognize transcendence, but what if we can't? In this case we may ourselves have already become transcendent before but we are unable to see/know it.
As an answer to why an advanced, transcendent civilization wouldn't go around teaching everyone how to ascend: it may not be practical or even possible to do so. Such a thing could require a level of personal understanding and revelation that cannot be "taught." I can show you an enlightened transcendent being "here is the Buddha" but I cannot teach you to BE the Buddha. In a more rational sense, I could teach someone to think independently and critically, but the conclusions they reach must be their own or the process has failed. (Which isn't to say independent and critical thinkers cannot reach the same conclusions)
I think they wouldn't share it because it may involve the revelation of at least one truth so disturbing that proof of it causes irreparable psychological damage to those who aren't ready. The universe and any other plane of reality has no obligation to prevent breaking us, and we evolved in ignorance of whatever truth allows transcendence.
To ancient sea creatures that hadn't adapted to living on land yet, we would be the equivalent of ascended/transcended beings to them. I know that's an oversimplification of the idea and process, but I still think it's a valid data point and example.
That's a good analogy. For all we know some civilizations could be living inside blackholes of be the reason for why they exist. There is so much mystery sorroundings those and the universe, like how physics dramatically change in the quantum scale, even tho it could be just our tools not being able to properly analyze quantum of a constant/property we haven't yet discovered
@@rRekko idk why, but your comment made me wonder what would happen to a particle that was quantum entangled with another particle that was then blasted through a particle accelerator to crash into something else. Would the entangled particle that wasnt fired be destroyed or transformed depending on what happened to the one that was shot through the accelerator.
Congratulations on the channel decennial and happy belated birthday. A rather fitting episode for the circumstances. It will be interesting to see what discoveries might be regarding such concepts, but in the meantime. Good wishes for another decade.
Gosh, I remember stumbling upon those early episodes. I remember being awestruck with the ideas of orbital platforms, matrioska brains, arcologies. I remember when Nebula first popped up, and hearing you and the missus adopt the younglings. Truly a paragon of science optimism, and one of my comfort channels to come back to again and again. Thanks for 10 years Isaac, and looking forward to another 10
Happy Birthday and congratulations to the SFIA team and community on getting to the 10 year milestone. I still remember in 2017 when I found this really excellent channel and immediately become a Patreon supporter.
Dearest Mr Arthur, Congratulations on your moment, so many achievements and blessings, I trust you will have many more. Thank you for your show and to all those who contribute. Love Warrick
I've been a fan of your channel for years. I always look forward to your new videos. I don't comment much as I believe this is my first post. Just keep up the good work and thank you so much. I've really enjoyed your content over the years and look forward to enjoying your channel for a long time.
Congratulations on 10 years! I discovered your channel in 2016 and it's always been fascinating. Also, a nice antidote against the widespread pessimism of our time.
In the middle of the episode I got an ad for a transcendence cult. I think UA-cam found the subject of the video and thought we were into that sort of thing
Wow. I remember when i first found Isaac's videos when he had I believe 19 K subscribers, hard to believe it's been that long. Amazing to see someone's personal and professional growth over that time period. Congrats on your success sir
I'm pretty convinced one should explore both outward into objective reality and inward into the depths of one's subjective existence until these two explorations meet in a formerly unknown place that has always been with us and we learn the entire essence of our existence. Beware of gnosticism or radical materialism that seek to either villify or deny any one aspect of existence.
Agreed, these days radical materialism has been a plague on my life and it usually gives way to overt nihilism and others claim any other view point is outright moronic and damaging. It's the new religion it feels like.
Yes is good because it gives my desire, maybe is bad because of uncertainty of my reward and No is evil fo it gives none to my desire. Beware of radical spiritualism and gnosticism or radical materialism that seek to either villify or deny any one aspect of existence.
Congratulations on the decade of success of this project and happy birthday Isaac! It’s been a pleasure listening to you for all these years! You have a wonderful talent communicating complex concepts in a way that both laymen and scientists can relate to and appreciate. Thank you for sharing your insights and passion. I look forward to another ten years and more!
I can't go to bed until your episodes hit youtube Wed. And Sun. This is the only thing I ever click like on period. And my only subscription. You have made your life extension at least as being known through a long period of time into the future.
Congrats on a decade! Black Hole Farming caught my interest back in the day, and I've been here every Thursday for around 8 years now. So happy to have watched this grow and to be there to see all the big changes in your life, such as marriage, kids, and president of the NSS. Proud of all the great things in your life and in this community, excited to be here for the next 10!
10 years from now, aliens have been shown to exist. Isaac Arthur: a) Becomes an ambassador for Earth b) Goes from describing possible technology to explaining the known alien technology c) Retires with a mic drop as we discover his guesses were all correct. d) Immediately drops a video he prepared sometime in the last 20 years with a few annotations explaining what's to come.
Congratulations on 10 years! I remember 5 or so years back (definitely before the pandemic), seeing UA-cam recommend these odd looking videos called "Something Aliens" and thinking "I don't know, for testing something out they look a bit on the long side", and then eventually "Oh alright, I'll give them a go.". This was shortly followed by "I AM GOING TO WATCH THROUGH THE ENTIRE BACK CATALOGUE!" 😄 (at a one or a few a day this took me a fair few months). At which point I was like "Aw, no longer a new to me one each day." 😅. This show has talked about many things but in particular I thank Isaac for introducing me to space habitats. I always thought humanity's future would involve living not just on Earth, but my view was the basic sci-fi classic of "go live on other planets" (not saying all sci-fi is like that). This show really opened my eyes. Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur - Came for the aliens, stayed for the megastructures 😁 (ah, who I am kidding I stayed for the aliens too, and everything else). Again congratulations! 🎉
This seems right, we can’t leave our problems and hop to another reality, we must understand and develop ourselves to a point where we don’t need to leave, but can be content here
Congratulations on a plethora of achievements!!!! I truly hope you give us as many more years as you possibly can. And teach them kids to carry the torch when you feel it IS time! Thank you thank you thank you Mr. Arthur.
Whoa.. I've been watching your show since you had less than 5,000 subs. Somewhere around there. I didn't know it had been that many years yet. Time marches on.
Happy 10th Birthday SFIA!! It's been a great ride and I can't wait to see what the next 10 years will bring! Happy 44th Birthday as well to you Issac! Thanks for the years of Information and Enjoyment!
I am so happy for you, for the way your life kept improving over the years and i wish you and your family the best future you can possibly have. And I am very grateful for your videos. You keep me open- minded, entertained, and educated since many years. Thanks, my friend from another continent.
While certainly I congratulate you on your 10 years, let me add to that by thanking you for all that you have brought to us. You have enriched my life with your insights, humor, and generosity, and I am quite sure that I am not alone in this opinion. I hope that your next 10 years are even better, and that we all continue to share in it...thank you friend!
Happy birthday and 10 years of your show! My present is a song writting by Michael Card - "That's What Faith Must Be" length 240 secs. May you and your family have many more happy years. 🥳 PS: Transcendence happens at physical death.
As I understand it, in order to transcendence, you need to look at higher laws up stream, which will allow to conquer your current problems. And there are always higher principles to be found and all processes can be combined.
Best as we know it there is no universal rule requiring laws being decipherable from lower sets of derived rules. It seems like that is the case but there's zero evidence that is necessarily the case and if such exist they may or may not be decipherable even to the point of knowing about them.
Congratulations Isaac and happy birthday. Short form videos can be used as teasers for bigger videos. Just select some of the existing images and read a synopsis over it.
Congrats on 10 Years!!
please
Congrats!

@@bryandraughn9830Wouldn't this approach make them far more vunerable?
I've been experimenting with vivid dreaming for nearly 30 years. Dreams are amazing, and are what I feel to be a taste of transcendence.
Lucid dreaming is critical for any imaginative horror movie fans, trust me on that.
Is honestly been great to live centuries and thousands of planets.
If there is a multiverse, I wonder if, when I dream, that dream comes from thousands of copies of myself, and some of "my" thoughts in those universes. One dream I had even probably saved my life.

Another superb episode, as always, Isaac.
I appreciate Isaac Arthur as someone who is honest enough to say when they are inserting opinion versus explaining concepts.
All of us in the comments should leave this reality behind
and leave the assholes to metastisize? absolutely not.
Sounds like another way to tell ppl to uninstall their subscription to real life tho
😂
I’m good but you guys go on ahead with that.
Assuming this is base reality, we should solve it and go past the filters, then enjoy the other realities
But reality is the only place you can get a good meal 😅😅
It's amazing to see how this channel and community hav grown in 10 years. Congrats Isaac! Here's to 10,000 more (at least).

Congratulations on a decade of awesome! 🎉❤

I transcended upon discovering your wonderful channel many moons ago! 🌙
While certainly I congratulate you on your 10 years, let me add to that by thanking you for all that you have brought to us. You have enriched my life with your insights, humor, and generosity, and I am quite sure that I am not alone in this opinion.
I hope that your next 10 years are even better, and that we all continue to share in it...thank you friend!
Happy birthday and 10 years of your show!
My present is a song writting by Michael Card - "That's What Faith Must Be" length 240 secs.
May you and your family have many more happy years. 🥳
PS: Transcendence happens at physical death.
Happy Decennial of your channel to you Sir Isaac.
WE LOVE YOU BROTHER GIVE US ANOTHER GREAT 10 YEARS!
As I understand it, in order to transcendence, you need to look at higher laws up stream, which will allow to conquer your current problems. And there are always higher principles to be found and all processes can be combined.
Best as we know it there is no universal rule requiring laws being decipherable from lower sets of derived rules.
It seems like that is the case but there's zero evidence that is necessarily the case and if such exist they may or may not be decipherable even to the point of knowing about them.
I watch these videos to fall asleep, nice to find 30 mins before I wake up
Happy Birthday!
Congratulations on a decade of great programs! Please don’t sublime any time soon. 👍🏼
