      It was clearly 3blue1brown that quite derailed the situation. His illustrations were too vague that right off the bat when his illustrations started while the one before him was narrating, I immediately thought "oh no those illustrations are going to get so misinterpreted". Try getting someone who hasn't seen this yet to watch his part again without audio and ask them to describe what it's supposed to say. Then show them the illustrations before Grant's then ask them again what those mean. I hypothesize that they will be so starkly different

      You say that because you had the information when looking at Grant's visuals.
      Grant is great at uniquely and creatively visualizing and abstracting data which is fantastic allowing people to see math in new and fresh ways... but isn't as strong at clearly conveying concrete narratively structured information.
      Dianna is great at clearly and concisely conveying complex literal information to a broad audience, which is perfect for science communication... but that isn't the strongest skill set for constructing a connected narrative based on largely abstract imagery.
      I think it's more impressive that the original meaning lasted as long as it did and less surprising that the meaning broke down, especially when people are doing things outside their wheel house.

I cannot understand how you could come up with "sun 1 to 3" and just keep it there, it's absurd and meaningless. I assumed that the description of the task was vague, and that's what threw Jabrill off.

    Something I find interesting is how in the comments most of the "blame" goes to those who had to make a script from video, and not the other way around, as if most of the actual information wasn't lost in the translation from natural language to visual storytelling. It's a nice introduction to the process some of these people have when choosing how to back what they say with images, and also goes to show the importance of good graphic design in communication.

      You make a really good point. I think that visual->script is indeed where crucial information was lost, because visuals are typically meant to reinforce or illustrate something being discussed, but not to explain causation. Add in that most of the topics were relatively abstract, and it increases the opportunity for misunderstanding when playing telephone. In particular, I note how the images have gone from feeling 'scientific' to 'encyclopedic' to 'infoblurb' to outright 'entertainment', which has shifted the emphasis given to subjects. Small beers in graphs became the leading element. Small cats eating apples became a crisis of overweightness. Etc. Tom came up with bartenders elbow because he couldn't figure out the story the images were telling. Another came up with crazy powerups and a highly visual description because the concept of time passing had been lost in the iconified representation of the seasons. And the last one interpreted ice cubes as dice because a previous iteration had already used ice-like glasses instead of outright beer for the mentions of it, which killed the colour that the liquid would have had, thus leading to the misunderstanding. It was amazing to see.

      The *trend* goes upwards linearly- not the curve itself.
      The trend is equivalent to the first derivative. If it goes up linearly, then that means the curve goes up exponentially.

      even if you were right in the first part, you arguing wrongly in the second part when you say that: the derivative is linear so the function is exponential. no! the antiderivative of a linear function is a power function not an exponential function. to conclude: your line of argumentation isnt even consistent in itself

      Yeah, from an information preservation standpoint, he put in a huge distortion. Said something completely unrelated to even his nearest neighbour.

    • @GrifterMage
      @GrifterMage 3 роки тому +146

      Joe actually did really well--he looked at the animation as a whole to figure out what coherent narrative it *could* be telling, and reconstructed that narrative perfectly. If he'd been earlier in the sequence, he would have likely passed on the original information really well.
      The problem was one of Garbage In, Garbage Out--if the input doesn't carry a coherent narrative on its own merits, it's impossible for the next link in the chain to reconstruct that narrative, so they have to come up with a narrative of their own. Overall, most of the information was generally lost in the translations from narrative to animation--to the point where on Jabril's turn, he couldn't wring any sensible narrative out of the animation at all and simply described the animation instead.

    • @iantaakalla8180

      I like how by the time of Jabril’s explanation, he was so confused that he had to explain the twelve months as a series of three flowers, three suns, three withered leaves, and three snowflakes. Then again, shaking a cup of ice for twelve months to grow your muscles is not a topic you can pick up on immediately.
      Admittedly, figuring out that Grant was drawing about miscommunications from science to social media is just close enough to media sensationalism by itself that that misinterpretation is not bad.

    What i like about this is that it shows how a youtubers worldview can effect their delivery of content. Physics Girl tries to make science fun and accessible, but this sacrifices substance. Tom Scott covers obscure facts, so focuses more on building a story than on rigorous facts. Jabrils is a programmer, so his description is purely objective to a fault. Tier Zoo's work is focused on a video game aesthetic, which changes the context of the source material. As viewers of all these channels, I wonder how much our own worldview is shaped and warped by these channels delivery!

      Yes, I agree with you.
      We read with 'our sense of things'. It seems good - if it matches the common sense/current understanding of things in this society at this point in time(which seems to be the case in this example), it seems bad - if it doesn't. In fact when we look at history and before we judge people and societies, we should appreciate the fact that they could have made perfect sense in that time and space, and 'We' are in a different time and space with our own set of prejudice and understanding of the universe.
      For example, look.. who knows, for a future society Jabril's reading (which 'now' might look random to 'many of us') might make a lot more sense than Joe's.
