5G hysteria in the UK is yet another form of this syndrome. At the same time, real pollution causing respiratory failure isn't being seriously considered. What a crazy world.
I think im going through that right now. I smoke and Im kinda on meds that have horrible side effects so I don't know if it's just getting old or the combination of everything. I'mma be 40 next year. Its horrible.
A telecom built a cell tower on a building. The tenants protested. When the cell tower was finished, the tenants reported increased aches and illness. The telecom responded: "Just you wait until we turn it on!"
There was a case in the UK some years ago, where the middle-class commuters living in a rural village decided mobile phone towers cause cancer. So they disassembled the one on the edge of the village and mounted a guard to stop the telco rebuilding it. If poor inner-city kids had done it, the police would've shown up to crack their skulls within 20 minutes, but these folk got a TV interview. As the journalist walked up to them, their spokesman was front and centre, with his phone clamped to his ear. (He was probably bitching about bad coverage.)
NIMBY is a disease that has plagued people for centuries. Progress, whether good or bad, brings on NIMBYism. The generational change makes more things "nimby", people want freeways ... but not across their county. People fight truck stops, but want more consumer goods. Prisons, we all know that new prison should be in the next town, right. People infected with nimby "just know", but can not give a logical or reasonable reason for ( insert name of perceived danger here) being dangerous ... or is it inconvenient to their lifestyle.
The reason those people get sick IS real ... but it only happens when those turbines make noise in the 27-28hz region, also called the 'ghost frequency', which is KNOWN to make people anxious, sick, when exposed .. Even the police uses this sound to manage riots in some countries... This also happens with AC-fans in buildings. So it's definitely not with all Turbines; only a part of them, especially with certain windspeeds that generate infrasound in the turbine powerplant (unhearable humming) Don't believe me? check this video: ua-cam.com/video/df8QAgTJIio/v-deo.html
Ideas like these are called Basiliks. Information which can be only harmful. One glance at the Basilisk and you are harmed. There are more serious examples of Basilisks, but I'd rather not share them.. Great video though!
@@maxwellhong5218 cognito hazard is like tissue to the Kleenex of the basilisk. One of the most famous cognito hazards is known as Roko's Basilisk, which does an effective job of elucidating it with a more concrete moral dilemma than is given in this video about Wind Turbine Syndrome. Because of the popularity of Roku's Basilisk, the term basilisk has become a slang term, and at least in my mind, the implication of moral imperative. Other famous cognito hazards include: The idea that you have threads growing under your skin The film with Jim Carrey called The Truman Show A number of SCP entries But one could argue that our culture is rife with them. For instance, the fetishization of suburban lawns wastes labor and many resources while harming the local ecosystem, but the United States as a whole supports invasive grass and mostly through no actual legislation. There is no benefit to having a lawn outside of the influence of other maintainers of lawns. I've heard it claimed that the IQ test is also a cognito hazard because it functions as a self fulfilling prophecy. But these last two examples have wide acceptance and I'm not sure if the basilisk term is still appropriate.
I recently learned from a person that wind turbines cause cancer. And the person made clear that they were an expert by saying that they knew more about "wind" than anybody else.
I'm surrounded. Wind turbines were built all around my rural home....when I moved here there were none. I can tell you this: I hate them. I hate living near them. I'm up right now 11pm and I can hear the one they built closest to my house...INSIDE my house. I moved here and built an energy-efficient 900 square foot strawbale house. It was my dream. I had found heaven in the peaceful, rural atmosphere. Now the horizons look dystopic....dotted with hundreds of giant white, spinning, noisy machines. It used to be just the sound of the birds and breeze in the trees....now I seldom have a single day without the noisy turbine, steadily strumming away...it's LOUD. They get tax breaks, meanwhile, my property taxes went up over 70% in one year after the turbines were built within sight of my house! Talk about insult to injury. Yes. I absolutely hate the #blattnerenergy turbines here in #millscountytexas I'm heartbroken and struggle with bitterness every day due to this situation.
In Brazil's Northeast Region (one of the poorest areas in the country), nearly *90%* of their electricity is generated by wind power. There are no reports of wind turbine-related illness. I guess they have better things to do, such as working very hard to earn a living.

"Dangerous Blow Jobs" was shot by Evan 'Come on I had to' Hadfield. This has to be the best line I've ever seen at the end of any video on this channel.
I followed the text at the end of the video saying "Always research what you see on UA-cam" and applied it to this comment because I really liked the quote. Turns out there isn't really any evidence that your quote was actually said by Einstein.
I have worked on these turbines for 7 years and have never been sick due to the turbines themselves. So when I seen this video, I was like "oh my gosh, another video about turbines making people sick". But I stayed and watched it and am genuinely happy to see someone explain it properly and not just say wind turbines bad.
I think the bottom line is that misinformation is contagious and every single one of us are "carriers" in some way. You will never be correct about everything, but realizing that you may be mistaken is very hard for people to do. The best way to fight this disease is through humility; admitting that you are wrong when presented with facts rather than doubling down on your ideas. Great video, as always!
It might sound like "alternate facts" talk. But when people present something as "fact" and it goes against what I have observed, I am immediately suspicious if that is "fact" at all. But just in case, for some events talked about as fact, I try to research, I then find often find counter arguments, with evidence, with different facts. In cases where I am certain, I once again feel like I was proved right in my perceiving unsubstantiated claims. But I am still skeptical of both sides sometimes. So I ask in those cases, who is actually right? To really know, sometimes you have to be an expert in the subject. But between lack of consensus between even experts in some fields, and the inability to ever learn everything, even with infinite time as the encyclopedia grows faster then you can read it, to make it a short story. Being absolutely sure of the truth is impossible. Is all information disinformation, or is there only one objective truth amoungst the millions of books and ways of thinking and none of them describe it in full anyway? And you just can't know which is which? Humility isn't enough, put simply. Unless you believe nothing. If you must believe in something to get by in life, you will likely believe something that is wrong. For whatever definition of wrong we use. If you understand that, then you are in the boat I feel I'm in, finding something to believe in, and yet everything is likely wrong, so the only way to believe in something, is to lie to myself. And I find that impossible, if I know what I believe is wrong and a lie, I am not actually believing it.
It's interesting how a trained scientist can STILL allow personal bias to affect their conclusions. Needless to say, asking specifically for people who claim that wind turbines made them sick to come forward and be interviewed is what is known as a "skewed sample". Funny how I seem to have many of these symptoms and the nearest wind turbine is about 200 Km away. Those turbines are sneaky! It couldn't possibly have anything to do with my age, right? This video does make me sick. It makes me sick that someone who is (supposedly) educated would allow their own animus towards wind turbines to literally make people sick. By the way I enjoyed the footage of the turbines. It seems very peaceful and it's nice to be able to look at wide open spaces, even if I can't go there in person. Thank you for this.
I know health care professionals who believe Trump over science regarding Covid-19. Get your head around that one. Ppl, at least some of them, are easily deceived.
It is mostly only in your mind. Most of these discomforts are things we usually learn to live with, but now that you have seen this video, it is harder to leave those thoughts alone. It is on par with saying to you "Whatever you do, do not think about pink elephants or purple toads." ;-)
"It's interesting how a trained scientist can STILL allow personal bias to affect their conclusions." This is a phenomenon called the bias blind spot. Be careful, though - we need to ensure that malicious people don't use it to discredit scientific research in general. The approach to it can't be black and white, as black and white thinking is also problematic. Instead, good peer review, controls, and replication of results is how we need to fight this.
They also could have asked those who had an encounter with Jesus, Aliens or Supernatural Powers to come forward. I bet the numbers would not differ much.
You are so right. I was born in Uruguay in 1948 and I clearly remember seeing wind mills all over the country side to pump up water. In Villa Serrana ( departament of Lavalleja) every single cottage had a tiny mill to produce some electricity to run the few lights they have and maybe a fridge,nobody has complained of being sick back then. Now we have this amazing mills,taking us from burning fossil fuels to create energy and these millenniums started complaining that they are an "eye sore". Next thing we hear is that they create illnesses. I can give my honest opinion about these people,in two languages,but I don't want to be rude. After all, I being living in Canada for a life time and in here we are known to be very polite. I love your channel and your way to bring real issues in such a clear way. Keep up the good work amigo,greetings from Toronto.
She'd flip if she found out Natives here in Central, United States. Love these things. LMAO My Tribe is investing in these things, cause Pine Ridge is "empty" (using non-native speak), and plenty of land and the companies actually willing to pay rent directly to the land owners. Plus a lot of people think they're cute. It's weird
Betcha some operatives appearing to be do gooders but fronting for fossil fuels will soon GENEROUSLY offer the natives compensation to consider another point of view.
We drove out to Wyoming from Alabama in 2011 and my wife and kids had never seen a wind farm. I had driven through the night, so as the sun came up we were in western Kansas, and the first thing my wife saw when she woke up was hundreds of those giant turbines spinning away on the plains as far as she could see. She got excited and woke up the kids and they all thought they were so amazing. I don't think they called them "cute", but they did think the wind farms were the coolest man made thing we saw on that trip. On the way back we visited the Black Hills area and Badlands NP, and we drove south through the Pine Ridge Reservation towards Nebraska. At that time I don't remember seeing any in the reservation.
@@jamesbehrje4279 i understand objects can be called cute, I think the Fiat 500 and the Honda E are both cute, even more so than any Prius and BMW, but cute is not something I would attribute to a wind turbine lol maybe the one at 5:18, but its still a stretch for me
When i see Windturbines i feel good. I know they replace a coal plant somewhere. When i come by one i sometimes drive up to it, stare at it and ask it "Who's a good power plant" and it goes WOOSH WOOSH WOOSH.
The thing with windturbines is, unless you have massive hydro-plants, you still need those coal plants to be around in case there is no wind, or too much wind (storms) and they need to turn the windmills off ortherwise the wind will damage them.
@@WWZenaDo oh, don't get me started on solar pannels! The moment in time that we need most electricity is when its dark outside (when people wake up/ have dinner + early office hours during the winter) and then solar pannels make NO energy at all.

@Rare Earth I take a sleeping pill that may or may not work. It helps me fall asleep, but I don't think it does that for a biological reason. NyQuil has real knockout drugs in it, but the pill I take probably doesn't. The reason the pill works is, in all likelihood, because of the placebo effect. It works because I expect it to work, and I expect it to work because of the placebo effect. Turn this on its head. If someone believes in windmill sickness, they can know how it works and still be sick. They will get sick because that's what they expect, and even if they know why they are getting sick, they still expect to be sick.

I would go down to the New Jersey coast a lot growing up and I always remembered the wind turbines as a pleasant piece of the scenery and a representation of being in sync with nature; something like an idea of progress. Its strange to me that they could be so scary.
an idea of progress? lol we wont truly progress until we start going nuclear... wind and solar are way to inefficient take up to much material and harm to much wild life. we arent saving the planet by using these renewable energies we are just hurting it.
outside my window, rather far away in the distance are a couple of wind turbines. to be honest, watching them turn gently, embedded in the rich fauna of the landscape really relaxes me. they symbolize energy , human progress and sustainability. the only symptoms they made manifest i could think of, is procrastination, as the hypnotizing turning often made me wander off into daydreams instead of working on uni stuff.
Our store, which sells cell phones, has to carry a sign saying Some people think it might be trouble. That’s the City of Berkeley. Of course we have an enormous WiFi signal in there too.
I need a turbine outside my house! I, recently, drove through Texas and Colorado and each time I saw a turbine field I would get a sense of euphoria and happiness. I mean, how wonderful to create energy from the wind! I often use those memories when I need a boost. Seriously, I think the turbines are awesome! :)
During the day they're interesting. At night, if you've never driven through the Midwest at night before and can't put two and two together to realize what they are...holy crap all the lights freak you out. I thought I was driving through a secret military base or something.
@@rrudydedogg3779 Yes, sadly some birds are killed by wind turbines. Domestic cats kill a multiple of this amount every year, but I've never heard anyone complain about that.

Kyle not wrong. Non scientific but I live in a small community along a river, the power plant is on one side with half the population and the other half is downwind. Everybody knows it's caused health problems from the pollution.
I had some issues when I was on Holliday's with a wind turbine next to my apartment But my issue was the obnoxious sound it made all day and especially all night that stopped me from sleeping

According to many utilities, they are considered "negative load" due to the randomness of the wind. To be considered true "coop", They would need to be paired with electrical energy storage, so the power can be supplied on demand,(dispatchable) not just when the wind happens to be blowing.
While touring a college, a very charismatic instructor for a class on wind energy showed me the basics on how wind turbines work and how great they can be for the environment, and when I see turbines now I think of the instructor and wish I took that class tbh. I think it would have been a very rewarding field to work in
@@Doubledunk It depends of the cost of the materials, for example the carbon footprint made in the making of a solar panel is big enough that it pretty much evens out with the energy the panel will end creating so it is questionable if it is green. Thus we have to ask ourselves if the making of the wind turbine is not on the same spot.
Thank you for reminding me of this disease. Just like I was diagnosed with depression like 3 years ago, I forgotten about it. Your mind can sometimes be your worst enemy,. Face your fears, y'all
This is one the most interesting videos I have ever watched. I knew about psychosomatics and how it’s done through information , but this has a range of implications
First time hearing about this, really weird thing. I didn't even knew that people found wind turbines to be visually annoying, I find them kinda hypnotic to look at.
I had never seen a wind turbine for most of my life. The first time I did was in an alpine valley while i was in vacation. The vista was absolutely stunning, and the turbines made it way, way better. What would've been only nature before, now was nature with a moving sculpture to humankind's attempt at synergizing with the natural world. White, clean, sleek and majestic.
In some areas they used strobe lights as markers on them to ward off aircraft or whatever. When you have an area with dozens of bright blinking lights, that can be annoying at night. The ones with glowing red markers don't have that problem. The only other thing I could think of is being downrange and into the shadow during sunrise or sunset. Because then you'd also get a strobing effect with the sunlight as the blades move. Other than that, they seem just fine.
They were probably looking at the massive increase in their energy bills, and the knowledge that giant wind turbines are incredibly codtly, and unnecessary.
It's interesting how people don't like the viev of wind turbines. I mean i always thought they looked extremly cool in the fields. It's like the windmills from the past but looking more modern. they kinda make you feel like you live in the future
Honestly in Uruguay, I live a good 80-100km away from (what I think is) the field this was filmed in and let me tell you, there's nothing cooler than looking at the horizon at night and seeing 20-30 blinking red lights from these things
I love windmills, they're like a monument of humans sustainable energy. It feels like the sort of thing future civilisations would see and be like 'woah, look at these energy monuments'
lol, if they last more than 2 decades. even Chernobyl made of concrete won't last, perhaps the elephant foot is the only thing that will surely remember us, a monument to our time.

Although turbines are great (in theory), I suggest you talk to someone who has been approached to have one on there land. They're required to sign a contract of about 20 years which is approximately the life span of the turbine. At the end of the contract it may be the land owner is is then responsible to get rid of it, costing more than the stipend they were paid to have it there.
I slept somewhere in Kansas in my truck for a night or two night and 1 wind turbine several miles away drove me freaking crazy. I didn't know there were turbines anywhere near where I was but a low grumbling caused me not to sleep all night and I discovered the turbine over a couple hills as I continued my trip towards the East. I was a disbeliever myself but after that experience I'm hear to tell you it really is a sleep disrupter.
Listen Mary, people are sheeple. I figured that out for sure over 20 years ago when a friend and I, bored with being 18 and wondering how smart our group of friends really were, we made up a guy. Just made up a person, we called him Jim and then with no back story for him, not anything resembling details, nothing but a name and how great he was and how much fun we had hanging out with him and we just started throwing comments out when with our other friends. Not even talking to anyone but each other, we'd say , damn man I was just thinking about Jim earlier, I miss that guy so much. Just an occasional mention... It was truly astonishing as it took less than a week, and we heard the first one of our friends fall into our trap, then another as they would start also bringing up Jim. They also missed him and wondered when he'd be back. No one noticed we hadn't even said he'd gone anywhere, like I said, no details, to the point Jim wasn't even believable as an imaginary friend for a child packing in creativity. So, like I said, sheeple. You say something enough, mention someone or something enough and some percentage of the people listening will buy in, even of it leaves them missing a friend that they never actually met because they never existed in the first place. 🙃😉

A commercial power company is looking for "base power," a source that puts out power consistently all day long, as well as "peak power," a source that can kick in at the time of day that they need power the most. Wind turbines don't address either of these needs. They are a play for government subsidies.

@@natalyst Agreed. Ridicule, sarcasm, satire and humor are better at exposing the foolishness of frightened people who have no critical thinking skills.
illegal* but I get your point. To me it's the fundamental flaw of democracy. It's impossible to eradicate stupidity yet every vote matters. Stupid people have as much of a say in politics as intelligent people. But stupid people are far, far, far less likely to have a political opinion rationally based. They are subject to manipulation. From people they know and from people who campaign for election. The whole point of a democratic system is to give the general public a say in politics. To reflect their own interests in the state. But the problem is, too many people don't know what they want. And that's the sad truth. All you need is a politician to tell you what you want, tell you what you want to hear and manipulate you into believing they reflect your interests. Democracies don't reflect the interests of the majority, it's simply a system to trick people into thinking they are reflecting their interests. But to speak out against it, you would be declaring that people are stupid and can't think for themselves. Which is completely true for a lot of people, at least in terms of politics, but would obviously be shot down in the time of social correctness where everybody is a special flower and everybody needs to be protected from criticism. Maybe, the governments wanted this... By protecting the idiots from criticism they are essentially protecting their ability to ignore the purpose of democracy. I don't know, maybe I am just a cynical bastard, but I think we are seeing an increasing trend worldwide of morons being manipulated to vote for things that don't support their best interests. How do I know I am not one of the twats I speak of? Well, I don't. But I did study politics and political theory and focused my final thesis on the democratic lie so I think I am in a position to criticize. I mean there is no easy solution, but one way to start would be a better education system. Schools are still teaching religion while politics and health are not mandatory. There is a reason that in the majority of democratic nations, few feel it necessary to educate their population on politics and their national political system. The more politically ignorant your population, the easier they are to manipulate. And yes, politics is everything in this discussion. People who are irrational towards vaccines, windmills, 5G and that sort of stuff, tend to have irrational political opinions too. What fuels all of those communities is the same thing. Fear, mistrust and conspiracies. The more people understand their country and how it is governed, the less fear and conspiracies float around. But good luck extending political education. If that happens, people might not be so quick to forgive the state for all of its many misdoings.
Damn you, Sir! I contracted a severe case of Typhoid Nocebo with a cachectic dash of Psychosomatic Suggestibility , because of your video. On a side note, the wind turbines have other issues regarding their noise levels when their close to homes (especially at night) and the windmills long-term sustainability among others. Then again, nothing is perfect, there will always be a compromise.
I've never been able to get close enough to one to hear it. They're are drowned out by nearby trees, bushes, and traffic noise. I've heard recordings, and I find the sound quite pleasant. I could sleep to that, as long as it's just the windage through the blades, without any kind of "clanking" sound.
Leaving a comment on here at this point is sort of silly, I realize. But still, here I go. I have a lot of those symptoms, it's called "aging". /// Your channel is an antidote for so much of the stuff I see on here.
It's amazing how many comments say "I live near a turbine and I'm not sick" like that means anything. It's like saying "I've had cancer but I'm not dead" to imply cancer doesn't kill. So much anti-science behavior.
I live under 5 miles from hundreds of wind turbines. I've never heard of this and it makes no sense. Although a lot of them do leak brake fluid, so if you're underneath them they can burn and really mess with your eyes. Once you're more than about 10 meters away you're fine.
To be honest, I would have trouble sleeping at night if my house was the next-door neighbour to wind turbines, but that would mostly be caused by the unsteady noise and that a heavy smell of hydraulic fluids might drift by and in through my window.
The idea is that somehow they create a electromagnetic field which messes with the electric field in your body. This is so stupid as it drops off so fast that you probably would have difficulty measuring it even 20 feet away.
@@TrondBørgeKrokli Wind turbines are not loud at all. 100 meters away from the turbine they make the same amount of noise as a mid size window AC unit....like the kind that people install directly into their bedrooms. At 400 meters away, wind turbines are quieter than the refrigerator in your house. Does your A/c or refrigerator noise keep you awake too? If not then you're complaint is nonsensical. I've never experienced any of the hydraulic fluid if I was more than 100 meters away. You have to basically be directly underneath them. Your whole argument seems like someone with an agenda.
@@bobhope4288 Not at all, I just imagined living close to a wind turbine as some of those I saw in west-coast Sweden about 2003. I could hear their machinery from 500 meters away (although varying a bit) as if I was standing under it, if they have become less noisy in modern versions.
You guys are awesome. This is such an important message and so well said. This can apply to the internet in full.. An echo chamber of viral dangerous information, disguised as 'wellness'.
Ok, now I want a report on how coal plants that have been working for decades help our health and how they are terribly healthier than windmills. (Notice that it is an irony, for defective carbon units that do not understand that it is an irony).
We used to have a windmill that pumped all the drinking water for the farm. I don't think these high priced, high maintenance wheels operate quite the same.
True, but those were not generating electricity or spinning so quickly. It's a bogus illness, but old windmills is not the strongest argument against them.
I realize I’m late to this party, but I just found the video. Let me preface by saying yes, the “placebo effect” is real, and yes, it is undoubtedly affecting things in this case. BUT, as a counterpoint, I do believe scientists should investigate whether there are other factors at work, rather than jumping to the conclusion that “these people are just imagining things. 10% of people reporting an effect-that’s not an insignificant number. There is a similar case in sleep medicine, the “Old Hag” effect. A significant percentage of people in a specific village complained of this much-discussed phenomenon. Features included seeing a shadowy figure in a corner in their bedroom, who caused them to be paralyzed and unable to breathe when they were in bed. Scientists had a good chuckle about this kind of “magical thinking”. As it turned out, due to genetic effects, these people had a higher-than-average chance of having a sleep disorder which was later identified as sleep paralysis. They would wake up from sleep, but still experience the effects of REM sleep: muscle paralysis and restricted breathing. They were even able to continue have dream-like hallucinations in this state. Until a scientist took them seriously and tried to figure out what could be causing these widely-reported effects, they were considered crazy. I think the same thing could be happening here, at least in some cases. Maybe people who have vertigo or seizures (legitimate pre-existing conditions) DO have ill effects from the motion or vibrations of the turbines. The video points out that these people had the same symptoms even before the turbines arrived...implying they were just mis-attributing them. But as someone who suffers from seizures that can be triggered by certain frequencies of light, I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to think that turbines could exacerbate things like that. Let me conclude by saying that I’m a huge proponent of wind and solar power. (And I’d guess that the nature-loving doctor who “started this whole thing” feels the same way.) I just wish everyone would try to figure out what might actually be happening, that could be causing a large proportion of people in the area to report problems. Rather than jumping to the conclusion that they must all be similarly misguided.
My problem with windmills are that we have a really horrible disposal process of the non re usable parts and they require alot of maintenance and oils. Also they are really distracting while driving down the interstate for me.
i recently discovered this channel. *i am pretty sure this man does his homework perfectly* , + he is really bold with his words , a character of wisdom. 👍
I’ve heard Trump & Biden talk about Windmills that I looked into it myself to make my own decision. I’m for going green but I will not live close to a Wind Farm no matter how much they pay me. I’ve heard some people gets paid to keep quiet if the Windmills bothers them. I have heard several cases where the noise kept people from sleeping & the shadow effect causes motion sickness. I would hate that too & I would go insane. Not everyone is going to have the same symptoms living by them & it also depends on how the Windmill is positioned where you live. They do take out Birds that feeds the cats & I don’t want that next to me. I don’t mind Windmills out in the middle of nowhere like in parts of Wyoming but don’t put them in Yellowstone park. I know they put cell towers in the park & disguise them as trees. I didn’t know they where towers until someone pointed them out to me but when there out in the open not next to trees they look out of place. I’m all for hydroelectric & there’s a plant on the river where I live that use to power the whole town but it can’t keep up with he city’s growth. I’m now hearing about hydroelectric being made with the water coming into city’s through pipes. Our city isn’t that way but it’s a good idea. I’ve seen Solar Panels on some homes & businesses around here. I like that better then seeing a huge Windmill out my back door. There is some people around here that have their own small Windmills that work quite well.
Our beautiful range of hills are now covered with the eye sores. At night a sea of red dots blinking at night. It may not be a sickness but tell that to the millions of birds killed by the blades.
Thank you. I live in Hawaii and every time a wind power, solar farm, renewable project comes up, there's always a protest that cites "magical sickness" that is caused by new thing.
I love that you referenced the 1985 Episode of Frontline that features the experiment with brown eye'd and blue eye'd children, which is actually an experiment that was meant to combat racism and did in those children by the end.
Grew up with wind turbines in my home city. They've been there on the other edge of town as long as I remember. They are located near a large sports complex that I went and played soccer at as a kid. Never had a problem with them and I honestly wish we had more of them.

Tinfoil is cheap.
There was a case in the UK some years ago, where the middle-class commuters living in a rural village decided mobile phone towers cause cancer. So they disassembled the one on the edge of the village and mounted a guard to stop the telco rebuilding it. If poor inner-city kids had done it, the police would've shown up to crack their skulls within 20 minutes, but these folk got a TV interview. As the journalist walked up to them, their spokesman was front and centre, with his phone clamped to his ear. (He was probably bitching about bad coverage.)

NIMBY is a disease that has plagued people for centuries. Progress, whether good or bad, brings on NIMBYism. The generational change makes more things "nimby", people want freeways ... but not across their county. People fight truck stops, but want more consumer goods. Prisons, we all know that new prison should be in the next town, right. People infected with nimby "just know", but can not give a logical or reasonable reason for ( insert name of perceived danger here) being dangerous ... or is it inconvenient to their lifestyle.

I have heard of this before, in San Francisco. The mere suggestion of building new housing causes people to break out in hives there.
The reason those people get sick IS real ... but it only happens when those turbines make noise in the 27-28hz region, also called the 'ghost frequency', which is KNOWN to make people anxious, sick, when exposed .. Even the police uses this sound to manage riots in some countries... This also happens with AC-fans in buildings.
So it's definitely not with all Turbines; only a part of them, especially with certain windspeeds that generate infrasound in the turbine powerplant (unhearable humming)

@@maxwellhong5218 cognito hazard is like tissue to the Kleenex of the basilisk. One of the most famous cognito hazards is known as Roko's Basilisk, which does an effective job of elucidating it with a more concrete moral dilemma than is given in this video about Wind Turbine Syndrome. Because of the popularity of Roku's Basilisk, the term basilisk has become a slang term, and at least in my mind, the implication of moral imperative.
Other famous cognito hazards include:
The idea that you have threads growing under your skin
The film with Jim Carrey called The Truman Show
A number of SCP entries
But one could argue that our culture is rife with them. For instance, the fetishization of suburban lawns wastes labor and many resources while harming the local ecosystem, but the United States as a whole supports invasive grass and mostly through no actual legislation. There is no benefit to having a lawn outside of the influence of other maintainers of lawns.
I've heard it claimed that the IQ test is also a cognito hazard because it functions as a self fulfilling prophecy.
But these last two examples have wide acceptance and I'm not sure if the basilisk term is still appropriate.

I'm surrounded. Wind turbines were built all around my rural home....when I moved here there were none. I can tell you this: I hate them. I hate living near them. I'm up right now 11pm and I can hear the one they built closest to my house...INSIDE my house. I moved here and built an energy-efficient 900 square foot strawbale house. It was my dream. I had found heaven in the peaceful, rural atmosphere. Now the horizons look dystopic....dotted with hundreds of giant white, spinning, noisy machines. It used to be just the sound of the birds and breeze in the trees....now I seldom have a single day without the noisy turbine, steadily strumming away...it's LOUD. They get tax breaks, meanwhile, my property taxes went up over 70% in one year after the turbines were built within sight of my house! Talk about insult to injury. Yes. I absolutely hate the #blattnerenergy turbines here in #millscountytexas I'm heartbroken and struggle with bitterness every day due to this situation.

I think the bottom line is that misinformation is contagious and every single one of us are "carriers" in some way. You will never be correct about everything, but realizing that you may be mistaken is very hard for people to do. The best way to fight this disease is through humility; admitting that you are wrong when presented with facts rather than doubling down on your ideas.
Great video, as always!
It might sound like "alternate facts" talk.
But when people present something as "fact" and it goes against what I have observed, I am immediately suspicious if that is "fact" at all.
But just in case, for some events talked about as fact, I try to research, I then find often find counter arguments, with evidence, with different facts. In cases where I am certain, I once again feel like I was proved right in my perceiving unsubstantiated claims.
But I am still skeptical of both sides sometimes. So I ask in those cases, who is actually right?
To really know, sometimes you have to be an expert in the subject.
But between lack of consensus between even experts in some fields, and the inability to ever learn everything, even with infinite time as the encyclopedia grows faster then you can read it, to make it a short story. Being absolutely sure of the truth is impossible.
Is all information disinformation, or is there only one objective truth amoungst the millions of books and ways of thinking and none of them describe it in full anyway? And you just can't know which is which?
Humility isn't enough, put simply. Unless you believe nothing. If you must believe in something to get by in life, you will likely believe something that is wrong. For whatever definition of wrong we use.
If you understand that, then you are in the boat I feel I'm in, finding something to believe in, and yet everything is likely wrong, so the only way to believe in something, is to lie to myself. And I find that impossible, if I know what I believe is wrong and a lie, I am not actually believing it.
It's interesting how a trained scientist can STILL allow personal bias to affect their conclusions.
Needless to say, asking specifically for people who claim that wind turbines made them sick to come forward and be interviewed is what is known as a "skewed sample".
Funny how I seem to have many of these symptoms and the nearest wind turbine is about 200 Km away. Those turbines are sneaky! It couldn't possibly have anything to do with my age, right?
This video does make me sick. It makes me sick that someone who is (supposedly) educated would allow their own animus towards wind turbines to literally make people sick.
By the way I enjoyed the footage of the turbines. It seems very peaceful and it's nice to be able to look at wide open spaces, even if I can't go there in person. Thank you for this.
I know health care professionals who believe Trump over science regarding Covid-19. Get your head around that one. Ppl, at least some of them, are easily deceived.
It is mostly only in your mind. Most of these discomforts are things we usually learn to live with, but now that you have seen this video, it is harder to leave those thoughts alone. It is on par with saying to you "Whatever you do, do not think about pink elephants or purple toads." ;-)
"It's interesting how a trained scientist can STILL allow personal bias to affect their conclusions."
This is a phenomenon called the bias blind spot. Be careful, though - we need to ensure that malicious people don't use it to discredit scientific research in general. The approach to it can't be black and white, as black and white thinking is also problematic. Instead, good peer review, controls, and replication of results is how we need to fight this.
It's not like they were actually trying to do science. They had a cause to push and looked for things to back it up.
They also could have asked those who had an encounter with Jesus, Aliens or Supernatural Powers to come forward. I bet the numbers would not differ much.
You are so right. I was born in Uruguay in 1948 and I clearly remember seeing wind mills all over the country side to pump up water. In Villa Serrana ( departament of Lavalleja) every single cottage had a tiny mill to produce some electricity to run the few lights they have and maybe a fridge,nobody has complained of being sick back then. Now we have this amazing mills,taking us from burning fossil fuels to create energy and these millenniums started complaining that they are an "eye sore".

She got excited and woke up the kids and they all thought they were so amazing.
I don't think they called them "cute", but they did think the wind farms were the coolest man made thing we saw on that trip. On the way back we visited the Black Hills area and Badlands NP, and we drove south through the Pine Ridge Reservation towards Nebraska.

The thing with windturbines is, unless you have massive hydro-plants, you still need those coal plants to be around in case there is no wind, or too much wind (storms) and they need to turn the windmills off ortherwise the wind will damage them.

I've been a wind technician for about 9 years, they are really coop machines!
According to many utilities, they are considered "negative load" due to the randomness of the wind. To be considered true "coop", They would need to be paired with electrical energy storage, so the power can be supplied on demand,(dispatchable) not just when the wind happens to be blowing.
While touring a college, a very charismatic instructor for a class on wind energy showed me the basics on how wind turbines work and how great they can be for the environment, and when I see turbines now I think of the instructor and wish I took that class tbh.

@@Doubledunk It depends of the cost of the materials, for example the carbon footprint made in the making of a solar panel is big enough that it pretty much evens out with the energy the panel will end creating so it is questionable if it is green.

First time hearing about this, really weird thing. I didn't even knew that people found wind turbines to be visually annoying, I find them kinda hypnotic to look at.
I had never seen a wind turbine for most of my life. The first time I did was in an alpine valley while i was in vacation. The vista was absolutely stunning, and the turbines made it way, way better. What would've been only nature before, now was nature with a moving sculpture to humankind's attempt at synergizing with the natural world. White, clean, sleek and majestic.
for real. There is no accounting for taste, but i think they're pretty, personally.
In some areas they used strobe lights as markers on them to ward off aircraft or whatever. When you have an area with dozens of bright blinking lights, that can be annoying at night. The ones with glowing red markers don't have that problem.
The only other thing I could think of is being downrange and into the shadow during sunrise or sunset. Because then you'd also get a strobing effect with the sunlight as the blades move.
Other than that, they seem just fine.
I always become happy when I see these things
They're like giant pinwheels, that happen to generate power.
I am 69 I have never seen a windmill up close but boy do I have aches and pains. 40 years as a cabinet maker will do that to you.
They were probably looking at the massive increase in their energy bills, and the knowledge that giant wind turbines are incredibly codtly, and unnecessary.
It's interesting how people don't like the viev of wind turbines. I mean i always thought they looked extremly cool in the fields.
It's like the windmills from the past but looking more modern. they kinda make you feel like you live in the future
Exactly. Coal/Gas plants look dystopian by comparison.
Honestly in Uruguay, I live a good 80-100km away from (what I think is) the field this was filmed in and let me tell you, there's nothing cooler than looking at the horizon at night and seeing 20-30 blinking red lights from these things
Maybe people prefer the subtle lines of a coal fired power plant?
I've got some in my near by hills and they make me feel like I'm in a Ghibli movie.
I love windmills, they're like a monument of humans sustainable energy. It feels like the sort of thing future civilisations would see and be like 'woah, look at these energy monuments'
I like the aesthetic of wind turbines
Yeah they're pretty monumental when they only last 15 years and no one will tear them down once they stop.
Wind mills utilize mill stones to grind grains into flour.
You’re brainwashed... they don’t work when the wind is not blowing and it takes a lot digging up the earth for metals.
lol, if they last more than 2 decades. even Chernobyl made of concrete won't last, perhaps the elephant foot is the only thing that will surely remember us, a monument to our time.
Is it cause they break the air into smaller pieces that arnt good to breathe? Right?
Exactly. They cut up the molecules creating dangerous particles, sometimes even radioactive ones
Pretty sure that's not how physics works, chief. But I'm sure you're only joking.
The air pieces are cut so thinly, they become sharp and end up causing microcuts in your nose, throat and lungs.
How fucking anime doesn't that sound!?
@@gdttdeggegdh5471 - Ha ha ha ha ha! This is along the lines that dinosaurs burst into flames because there was too much oxygen in their atmosphere and with their tiny nostrils they breathed too fast, causing their noses to ignite. That's also where humanity's legends of dragons came from, because humans were around when dinosaurs lived... Was that from Ken Ham? Or somebody worse than him?
Although turbines are great (in theory), I suggest you talk to someone who has been approached to have one on there land. They're required to sign a contract of about 20 years which is approximately the life span of the turbine. At the end of the contract it may be the land owner is is then responsible to get rid of it, costing more than the stipend they were paid to have it there.
Right off the back, she has a bias against them that is aesthetically based, not scientific.
I slept somewhere in Kansas in my truck for a night or two night and 1 wind turbine several miles away drove me freaking crazy. I didn't know there were turbines anywhere near where I was but a low grumbling caused me not to sleep all night and I discovered the turbine over a couple hills as I continued my trip towards the East. I was a disbeliever myself but after that experience I'm hear to tell you it really is a sleep disrupter.
Listen Mary, people are sheeple. I figured that out for sure over 20 years ago when a friend and I, bored with being 18 and wondering how smart our group of friends really were, we made up a guy. Just made up a person, we called him Jim and then with no back story for him, not anything resembling details, nothing but a name and how great he was and how much fun we had hanging out with him and we just started throwing comments out when with our other friends. Not even talking to anyone but each other, we'd say , damn man I was just thinking about Jim earlier, I miss that guy so much. Just an occasional mention... It was truly astonishing as it took less than a week, and we heard the first one of our friends fall into our trap, then another as they would start also bringing up Jim. They also missed him and wondered when he'd be back. No one noticed we hadn't even said he'd gone anywhere, like I said, no details, to the point Jim wasn't even believable as an imaginary friend for a child packing in creativity.
So, like I said, sheeple. You say something enough, mention someone or something enough and some percentage of the people listening will buy in, even of it leaves them missing a friend that they never actually met because they never existed in the first place. 🙃😉
So, aahhhh.... Jen! Whatda ya hear from ... I mean what's Jim been up to lately? I havnt heard from him lately, thought you might have...
@@paulryan2128 Be gentle, Paul. Jen is grieving because Jim came down with the wind cancer. I went and saw him the other day and things are not so good.
I have work for you. Spin doctoring is hell but it pays well 😃.

It still feels weird getting ads for Evans dads masterclass before these videos.
XD
I wish I got more masterclass adds, the ones I get are lame
Hey, you can't get much more on topic than a Hadfield in an ad for a Hadfield. Gotta give the UA-cam ad targeting some credit for that.
'Effects of low-frequency noise from wind turbines on heart rate variability in healthy individuals'
Chun-Hsiang Chiu et al, published in Nature in 2021. Infrasound can cause strange effects, especially making people feel uneasy.
That's why they turned off the turbines before asking the health questions, to determine if it was due to an unheard frequency or just psychosomatic
A commercial power company is looking for "base power," a source that puts out power consistently all day long, as well as "peak power," a source that can kick in at the time of day that they need power the most. Wind turbines don't address either of these needs. They are a play for government subsidies.
Rare Earth's videos are always top notch in information and quality.
I agree and nice to meet you again.
That's why I subscribed.
@@alistairlee7604 yeah same here
to answer all your questions:
being stupid is not ilegal. I wish it was, but its not. hell, it might make you president.
Spreading stupid can be made illegal.
@@TacticusPrime it shouldn't be. silencing stupid opinions makes those opinions seem like they have something behind it. if they're stupid, they're easily disproved, so disprove them and convince people. if you let people in power silence people, the rules made to silence others will inevitably be used to silence you
@@natalyst Agreed. Ridicule, sarcasm, satire and humor are better at exposing the foolishness of frightened people who have no critical thinking skills.
illegal* but I get your point. To me it's the fundamental flaw of democracy. It's impossible to eradicate stupidity yet every vote matters. Stupid people have as much of a say in politics as intelligent people. But stupid people are far, far, far less likely to have a political opinion rationally based. They are subject to manipulation. From people they know and from people who campaign for election. The whole point of a democratic system is to give the general public a say in politics. To reflect their own interests in the state. But the problem is, too many people don't know what they want. And that's the sad truth. All you need is a politician to tell you what you want, tell you what you want to hear and manipulate you into believing they reflect your interests. Democracies don't reflect the interests of the majority, it's simply a system to trick people into thinking they are reflecting their interests. But to speak out against it, you would be declaring that people are stupid and can't think for themselves. Which is completely true for a lot of people, at least in terms of politics, but would obviously be shot down in the time of social correctness where everybody is a special flower and everybody needs to be protected from criticism. Maybe, the governments wanted this... By protecting the idiots from criticism they are essentially protecting their ability to ignore the purpose of democracy. I don't know, maybe I am just a cynical bastard, but I think we are seeing an increasing trend worldwide of morons being manipulated to vote for things that don't support their best interests. How do I know I am not one of the twats I speak of? Well, I don't. But I did study politics and political theory and focused my final thesis on the democratic lie so I think I am in a position to criticize.
I mean there is no easy solution, but one way to start would be a better education system. Schools are still teaching religion while politics and health are not mandatory. There is a reason that in the majority of democratic nations, few feel it necessary to educate their population on politics and their national political system. The more politically ignorant your population, the easier they are to manipulate. And yes, politics is everything in this discussion. People who are irrational towards vaccines, windmills, 5G and that sort of stuff, tend to have irrational political opinions too. What fuels all of those communities is the same thing. Fear, mistrust and conspiracies. The more people understand their country and how it is governed, the less fear and conspiracies float around. But good luck extending political education. If that happens, people might not be so quick to forgive the state for all of its many misdoings.
That doesn't answer the question about the purposely misleading energy companies.
Damn you, Sir! I contracted a severe case of Typhoid Nocebo with a cachectic dash of Psychosomatic Suggestibility
, because of your video. On a side note, the wind turbines have other issues regarding their noise levels when their close to homes (especially at night) and the windmills long-term sustainability among others. Then again, nothing is perfect, there will always be a compromise.
I've never been able to get close enough to one to hear it. They're are drowned out by nearby trees, bushes, and traffic noise. I've heard recordings, and I find the sound quite pleasant. I could sleep to that, as long as it's just the windage through the blades, without any kind of "clanking" sound.
@@vincentrobinette1507 It´s infrasounds that is a problem..

Leaving a comment on here at this point is sort of silly, I realize. But still, here I go. I have a lot of those symptoms, it's called "aging". /// Your channel is an antidote for so much of the stuff I see on here.
I live in Germany near 18 of these. Various years of construction, various sizes. Since 1997.
We experience zero effects on our health.

As an uruguayan citizen, I invite you all to stop for a minute and appreciate the beauty of Uruguay portrayed in this video! 😍
In the same way that people can focus on a need to feel poorly, the mind can also cause the body to feel well! Some people even do this!

Almost didn’t click because I thought it was another conspiracy
Same here.
It's amazing how many comments say "I live near a turbine and I'm not sick" like that means anything. It's like saying "I've had cancer but I'm not dead" to imply cancer doesn't kill. So much anti-science behavior.
I did an AP test where i had to synthesize an essay about how, according to every source they gave me, wind turbines make people sick
I really like the view of a wind turbine in nature. For me, it's the symbol of enviromentalism and the strive for green energy.
I live under 5 miles from hundreds of wind turbines.
I've never heard of this and it makes no sense.
Although a lot of them do leak brake fluid, so if you're underneath them they can burn and really mess with your eyes.
Once you're more than about 10 meters away you're fine.
To be honest, I would have trouble sleeping at night if my house was the next-door neighbour to wind turbines, but that would mostly be caused by the unsteady noise and that a heavy smell of hydraulic fluids might drift by and in through my window.
The idea is that somehow they create a electromagnetic field which messes with the electric field in your body. This is so stupid as it drops off so fast that you probably would have difficulty measuring it even 20 feet away.
@@TrondBørgeKrokli Wind turbines are not loud at all. 100 meters away from the turbine they make the same amount of noise as a mid size window AC unit....like the kind that people install directly into their bedrooms.
At 400 meters away, wind turbines are quieter than the refrigerator in your house.
Does your A/c or refrigerator noise keep you awake too? If not then you're complaint is nonsensical.
I've never experienced any of the hydraulic fluid if I was more than 100 meters away.
You have to basically be directly underneath them.
Your whole argument seems like someone with an agenda.
@@bobhope4288 Not at all, I just imagined living close to a wind turbine as some of those I saw in west-coast Sweden about 2003. I could hear their machinery from 500 meters away (although varying a bit) as if I was standing under it, if they have become less noisy in modern versions.
You guys are awesome. This is such an important message and so well said. This can apply to the internet in full.. An echo chamber of viral dangerous information, disguised as 'wellness'.
After a close inspection of a wind turbine in SD I was horrified by the hundreds of dead birds on the ground below it. Nothing psychosymatic about it.
This. This got you a new subscriber
Time to walk around talking about how much I love Wind Turbines.
I'm a big fan of the big fans!
Ok, now I want a report on how coal plants that have been working for decades help our health and how they are terribly healthier than windmills. (Notice that it is an irony, for defective carbon units that do not understand that it is an irony).
The Dutch have had windmills for hundreds of years and I’m almost sure this illness doesn’t occur in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Hush now. Troublemaker.
We used to have a windmill that pumped all the drinking water for the farm. I don't think these high priced, high maintenance wheels operate quite the same.
True, but those were not generating electricity or spinning so quickly. It's a bogus illness, but old windmills is not the strongest argument against them.
Unfortunately we have such idiots in the Netherlands as well.
I'm on the winning side Explain the high maintenance. Please do not ridicule things you do not know.
I realize I’m late to this party, but I just found the video. Let me preface by saying yes, the “placebo effect” is real, and yes, it is undoubtedly affecting things in this case. BUT, as a counterpoint, I do believe scientists should investigate whether there are other factors at work, rather than jumping to the conclusion that “these people are just imagining things.
10% of people reporting an effect-that’s not an insignificant number.
There is a similar case in sleep medicine, the “Old Hag” effect. A significant percentage of people in a specific village complained of this much-discussed phenomenon. Features included seeing a shadowy figure in a corner in their bedroom, who caused them to be paralyzed and unable to breathe when they were in bed. Scientists had a good chuckle about this kind of “magical thinking”.
As it turned out, due to genetic effects, these people had a higher-than-average chance of having a sleep disorder which was later identified as sleep paralysis. They would wake up from sleep, but still experience the effects of REM sleep: muscle paralysis and restricted breathing. They were even able to continue have dream-like hallucinations in this state. Until a scientist took them seriously and tried to figure out what could be causing these widely-reported effects, they were considered crazy.
I think the same thing could be happening here, at least in some cases. Maybe people who have vertigo or seizures (legitimate pre-existing conditions) DO have ill effects from the motion or vibrations of the turbines. The video points out that these people had the same symptoms even before the turbines arrived...implying they were just mis-attributing them. But as someone who suffers from seizures that can be triggered by certain frequencies of light, I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to think that turbines could exacerbate things like that.
Let me conclude by saying that I’m a huge proponent of wind and solar power. (And I’d guess that the nature-loving doctor who “started this whole thing” feels the same way.) I just wish everyone would try to figure out what might actually be happening, that could be causing a large proportion of people in the area to report problems. Rather than jumping to the conclusion that they must all be similarly misguided.
My problem with windmills are that we have a really horrible disposal process of the non re usable parts and they require alot of maintenance and oils. Also they are really distracting while driving down the interstate for me.
this reminds me of roko's basilisk
google at risk of having your life artificially extended or revived so you may be tortured forever as punishment.
Rationalists are goofy, never change
Not quite the same, but close enough
studies show that getting to people with accurate information first protects them from conspiracy theories. You're doing net good posting this video.
i recently discovered this channel.
*i am pretty sure this man does his homework perfectly* , + he is really bold with his words , a character of wisdom. 👍
I’ve heard Trump & Biden talk about Windmills that I looked into it myself to make my own decision. I’m for going green but I will not live close to a Wind Farm no matter how much they pay me. I’ve heard some people gets paid to keep quiet if the Windmills bothers them. I have heard several cases where the noise kept people from sleeping & the shadow effect causes motion sickness. I would hate that too & I would go insane. Not everyone is going to have the same symptoms living by them & it also depends on how the Windmill is positioned where you live. They do take out Birds that feeds the cats & I don’t want that next to me. I don’t mind Windmills out in the middle of nowhere like in parts of Wyoming but don’t put them in Yellowstone park. I know they put cell towers in the park & disguise them as trees. I didn’t know they where towers until someone pointed them out to me but when there out in the open not next to trees they look out of place. I’m all for hydroelectric & there’s a plant on the river where I live that use to power the whole town but it can’t keep up with he city’s growth. I’m now hearing about hydroelectric being made with the water coming into city’s through pipes. Our city isn’t that way but it’s a good idea. I’ve seen Solar Panels on some homes & businesses around here. I like that better then seeing a huge Windmill out my back door. There is some people around here that have their own small Windmills that work quite well.
Beautiful, windy vistas,with DUST, POLLEN,huh!?
"Dangerous Blow Jobs" is most certainly my favorite title so far!!
Not that dangerous. You can't even be removed from orifice, er office for that in 'some countries'.
Stupidity is the mother of fear, and fear is the mother of all evils: war, progroms, crusades, witch hunts, genocides etc.
Fear, laziness and stupidity.
Like it don't like it all those symptoms are true
Our beautiful range of hills are now covered with the eye sores. At night a sea of red dots blinking at night. It may not be a sickness but tell that to the millions of birds killed by the blades.
I saw the title and I rolled my eyes. I was expecting an anti-wind farm video. I decided to watch it anyway and I was pleasantly surprised.
FeelFroggyJump same :)
Perhaps it's projection that makes her look exactly like a person this would center around.
Goes with Chem-trails and HARP rings
Thank you. I live in Hawaii and every time a wind power, solar farm, renewable project comes up, there's always a protest that cites "magical sickness" that is caused by new thing.
The real problem with wind mills is they don't last forever. When they breakdown they use more energy and effort to replace than they ever produced.
I love that you referenced the 1985 Episode of Frontline that features the experiment with brown eye'd and blue eye'd children, which is actually an experiment that was meant to combat racism and did in those children by the end.
I love the way this is titled to snare unsuspecting conspiracy theorists. I can imagine their horror as they are slowly exposed to rational thought
How much is big Green paying you?
Grew up with wind turbines in my home city. They've been there on the other edge of town as long as I remember. They are located near a large sports complex that I went and played soccer at as a kid. Never had a problem with them and I honestly wish we had more of them.
Simply, how perfect is this presentation.
