Michael is actually the sanest person on the Earth. It's just us that are flawed and stupid and unintelligent and we should really worship the ultimate being known as the creator of the youtube channel VSauce.

"We are not the universe seeing itself, we are the seeing. I am not a thing that dies and becomes scattered, I am death and I am the scattering." -Michael Stevens. Seriously one of the most badass quotes I have ever heard.
@Rick Soldier of God If somehow in a million or thousand years, my atoms get rearranged to form you, and your atoms get rearranged to form me. Same memories, voice, issues, solutions, etc. .... Who's the real me? And who are you?
The title reminds me of an old joke I heard ages ago about a philosophy professor whose final exam was "prove this chair doesn't exist", the highest grade was given to someone who wrote just two words. "What chair?"
This reminds me of a similar story my old Philosophy professor told our class. Basically, the final exam for the class was an essay question. It just read "Why?" All the students pulled out text books, began scribbling like crazy. One student stared around, finally wrote down something quickly and turned it in. The only A on that day was that same student who turned in a paper that said "Why not?"
A mereological universalist then walks in, and forms a group of the universalist, the simples arranged ontological antirealist-wise, and my front door. Then the bartender asks them to stop arguing and order their damn drinks.

Counting errors. You don't count the list on the list you're making. Its kinda redundant and allows counting as many times as you see fit into infinity. (Election?) As you add items you create a new list. Count that list and you have +2 for everything.

why do most people in top comments never consider the context before commenting or just comment silly stuff. Yea its funny most of the time but still misleading and distracting from what vid is all about. I am not against your comment, but sure the context is more important than the title right?
@@spacebarbarian._ I feel like parts of the answer are in your comment. They know the context but the point of the joke is that their comment is misleading. That’s the joke. Maybe they’re making the joke bc of the content of the video or because, like in this case, the title of the vid is one like this one.
Someone needs a power scale Michael off of that statement that he just made there about him being death and the scattering how powerful does this make Michael if we take what he said literally.
@@izzymosley1970 If he is death itself than that already makes him beyond everything that is capable of dying (because in the end he’ll outlive everything). If this is true then he is at least multiversal+
Michael really just crammed an entire college course on Metaphysics into a 37 minute video. Impressive how he can condense so many complex ideas into such a concise format.
Teachers all around the world wants to know profile of this video's view time. How many people actually watched the whole thing? I can't believe I did, at 1x speed.
Not only he does this, but he does it in all kinds of unrelated and complicated topics. I understand the Banach Tarski Paradox and theory of relativity thanks to his videos, even though the channel isn't specialized in math or physics
College is inefficient when it comes to actually learning something, because it’s not for learning and for jumping through hoops to prove you can work a 9-5 job. Unless you’re getting a PhD or something higher.
Some parts felt a bit rushed, but it was still very impressive nonetheless. If the video was any longer I think viewer retention would suffer so it would be a tough call for how long to make this project.
There’s always these UA-cam meme copy/pasted jokes that I find annoying and unoriginal… until someone actually applies it well. Even though it’s the same template joke, it really actually cracked me up. Props to that
Every time he says “Exceeeeppttt”, it’s like entering the next level of a game. Except, instead of a game, it’s some ever evolving convolution of madness and philosophical information.
when my philosophy teacher in college asked me to " describe a chair" to make a point, I wasn't prepared to, years later, find an answer. Even if these days we're down to only a couple of Vsauce videos a year, I love how deep you're willing to go on these!
I love when philosophers actually give things fun names like "gunky" and "junky". Do they realize how much power they have in giving things cool names???
On a similar topic, I've always wondered how the transporters on Star Trek can differentiate between matter that belongs to a person's body, their clothes, the air around them, the ground beneath them, or a chair they are sitting in.
I always felt so unsatisfied that there was no explanation to this, yeah.. i theorized about identifying human cells, putting them together for a model of the human, and then scan for matter in a 3cm radius that is not air (to get the clothes).
I have to kinda assume that as they developed them, at first they could only do continuous (or nearly so) atomic blocks. So like chunks of pure or nearly pure iron. And then developed and refined that into the "well you can do it, just don't do anything live through it because it might not quite be right" of Enterprise, and over the next two centuries got to the reliable, fully able to differentiate level of TOS
Pattern based isn't it, presumably part of the transport process is some kind of CT scan to establish body Vs surroundings, but how do we know they're not transporting the air around them too?
They can't. That's why we don't have teleporters and replicators, and why they seem even less possible now even though we have advanced much further with our scientific understanding. The whole concept is arbitrary fantasy that we made up because it makes a cool story, just like time travel, reincarnation and everything else in stories that doesn't exist.
there’s only one living person on this planet who could be sitting on the ground next to a wooden chair for 37 minutes and capture your attention for every second of it
Always love how the end of some Vsauce videos turn into near poetry: "I am not a thing that dies and becomes scattered, I am death and I am the scattering."

I love the fact that if a stranger asks a dumb question, they're dumb, but when vsauce asks that same question, it has meaning😅😂
In heaven no unclean person is allowed in, you are unclean if you have sinned just once like lying, stealing, sexual immorality, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, evil thoughts etc Jesus (God manifest in the flesh) can put his sinless righteousness on you since He died on the cross, rose from the dead so REPENT AND BELIEVE IN HIM TODAY.

Hell: I was taken there and saw one skeleton in the left and many skeletons on the right facing this one skeleton, they were there for idolatry and fornication, and the background can only be described aa destruction. 2ndly I saw a girl on earth on the same bed as a guy and she kissed him on the cheek (implying a unlawful sexual relationship), the girl died and went to hell and fire consumed her entire bod but there was some skin left over , I remember thinking “at least she has some skin drooping from her face” and then more fire came and consumed her skin

This reminds me of a similar story my old Philosophy professor told our class. Basically, the final exam for the class was an essay question. It just read "Why?" All the students pulled out text books, began scribbling like crazy. One student stared around, finally wrote down something quickly and turned it in. The only A on that day was that same student who turned in a paper that said "Why not?"
Funny, I was able to predict both answers, and I am by no means a philosophy expert.

This man is fully aware of the memes about him and he's using it to his advantage. I love it.
On a similar topic, I've always wondered how the transporters on Star Trek can differentiate between matter that belongs to a person's body, their clothes, the air around them, the ground beneath them, or a chair they are sitting in.
I always felt so unsatisfied that there was no explanation to this, yeah.. i theorized about identifying human cells, putting them together for a model of the human, and then scan for matter in a 3cm radius that is not air (to get the clothes).
I have to kinda assume that as they developed them, at first they could only do continuous (or nearly so) atomic blocks. So like chunks of pure or nearly pure iron. And then developed and refined that into the "well you can do it, just don't do anything live through it because it might not quite be right" of Enterprise, and over the next two centuries got to the reliable, fully able to differentiate level of TOS
Pattern based isn't it, presumably part of the transport process is some kind of CT scan to establish body Vs surroundings, but how do we know they're not transporting the air around them too?

They can't. That's why we don't have teleporters and replicators, and why they seem even less possible now even though we have advanced much further with our scientific understanding. The whole concept is arbitrary fantasy that we made up because it makes a cool story, just like time travel, reincarnation and everything else in stories that doesn't exist.

25:42 respect for the direction vsauce is laid out, but for practical purposes, the vid starts here & prior is essentially fundamental context.
I like to imagine that when not filming Michael just stands in that dark room.
He's essentially a safe and educational SCP.
idk man, hes at least Euclid, but imma bet on Keter even
Highly memetic
@@_Killkor 🤝👏👏
Still scares the shit outta me.
Oh, I wouldn't call him safe
Every VSauce video:
"This is the way it is. Or is it? Even if you're sure that it is, are you _sure_ you're sure? You may be sure you're sure, but are you _sure_ you're sure you're sure?"
accurate description
It's just a 38 minute brain scrambler.
Sure.
Are you sure you are not going crazy.. Vsauce tends to do just that
You forgot to rise one eyebrow 🤨
Good lord 0:19
The Micheal jumpscare
@@Jipsy7969 yeah the scariest jumpscare on the internet m8
I love that when Michael hasn't posted a new video in a while he, at first, forgets what kind of videos he makes and starts making a horror film.
