I like Terry Pratchetts proposals for 'Retro-phrenology'. Basically, you decide the kind of person you want to be, and then some guys show up with hammers.
every time I hear anyone talking about phrenology I think about this. He was a genius.

Really wanted to hear Simon say “allegedly” after saying Elon Musk didn’t kill anybody.
Same, I anticipated it for a good few seconds
@@babelincoln2092 HAHAHHA I did say that originally. I cut it out ;D
His dad did interestingly enough though
@@KS-PNW allegedly?
@@pert-smith no allegedly needed for this one. He was arrested and went to trial. Now if I said he'd "murdered someone," that would be allegedly as the killing was ruled to be self-defense (under some what dubious circumstances) but the fact that a man died isnt being disputed by anyone.
This would only work well if Simon didn't know about it beforehand (or if Danny waited until Simon wasn't expecting it), but it'd be absolutely amazing if one day Danny just wrote an entire script that was JUST introduction, just to see how many pages in Simon got before checking the rest of the script or something to see when the "actual topic" began, only to see that it ended with Danny mentioning this very recommendation...
don't give him ideas ;)
*Dew it* 😈
Okay Danny, we're expecting this. Troll him for April Fool's or totally at random.
Danny, I will rescue you from the basement if you do this. or at least send you a care package of gram crackers snacks.
@@brainblaze6526 The real question is: who does the uploads and deals with the actual UA-cam channel
"We're not here to solve moral issues, we're just here to pass judgment on pricks" should be the channel's official slogan. At the very least, it belongs on a shirt.
I would love that on a shirt
Yes please!
Take my money! 💰
Simon: "We're just here to judge people for being pricks."
Me: *smiles and sips drink*
don't forget to make fun of your wife SIMON!!!!!!
If I had even never seen this before, I would have fallen in love with Simon just for that.
Lol Kermit sip.
Sorry about this episode. For some reason I uploaded the advert-preview version we send to sponsors, rather than the final MASTERPIECE.
What might annoy you:
- It's a bit slower paced, some stuff I would have cut out remained in.
- No background music.
- No pre video teaser.
- No post video clip.
- Super LOUD "stinger" at the start.
Fun.
_Read in Simon's "comment criticisms" voice:_
*Simon that's so unprofessional, we deserve better than this! You're a total knob prick! Let Danny and Sam out of the basement!*
I always watch until the last second of the video for the final scene of you doing ... whatever. I was sad that it was missing this time!
I love this format. Very entertaining, relaxed, and comfortable.
I thought the purge was starting when that stinger went. It was that loud and sudden.
Just one question: where did you get the amphetamines...?
I like the concept of retro-phrenology. Hit someone on the head in precise ways to adjust their personality, intelligence etc. (credit to Terry Pratchett)

There’s a quote “why are we stuck in this quagmire of morals we’re not here to solve moral issues we’re just here to pass judgment on pricks”

Ear candling dates back to the ancient civilization of California hipsters.
This is definitely funny 🤣. I wonder when that culture started.
Longer ago than that. My hippie-ish parents did this back in the 70's-80's. They also did low carb, vegan, fresh pressed juice, and home gardens back in the 80's-90's... it's funny looking back on that now. They were hipsters before hipsters were cool 😄
i'm an old hippy from oregon - the place where hippies go to fade away...
ear candles are great. they worked really well and it's a property of physices of heat rising and carrying "debree" with it. your fireplace gets hot, boils sap and heat rises carrying smoke up and out.
it's the same principal of the ear candle, takes a minute or so to warm the inside of the ear and establish the venting property. the candle must be, MUST BE made properly and i'm not going to go into it as its been awhile and people should do their own research and make up their own mind.
it feels wonderful...warm and cozy. the proper mix of fabric and wax burns the fabric to a fine almost no ash and just blows away. we never had a problem but
AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH DECIDE FOR YOURSELF!! MY EXPERIENCE WAS MY EXPERIENCE AND I CANNOT SPEAK TO WHAT ANOTHER'S EXPERIENCE MAY BE.....
@@katrinamarina4692 I noticed when I watched my aunt do it, the inside wax looked yellow, & was partially sticky, unlike the thin white coating of paraffin on the candle...
@@DreAmeoba1 yes the inside of the "candle" would become coated heavily, depending, with a crumbly yellowish debris. different than just the candle itself.
I love how Simon now says allegedly on autopilot like some people say gesundheit or bless you when someone sneezes.
Person: _coughs_
Simon: Allegedly
I have never seen that word spelled before for a second I thought you were being Nazi, if Germans didn't want their words to look Nazi they really went about it wrong way

@@ridanann I've never seen it spelled out either lol I thought I was too high to read for a moment
No "allegedly" needed for Andrew Wakefield. That guy was legit bad.
Like got his med licence revoked bad, so the Court of science found him guilty for falsifying data (the cardinal sin of science!) And a side of conflict of interest just for good measure!
@@caracrotalus yes, exactly!!! He's responsible for a LOT of illness and death since he completely falsified his data and thus convinced people that vaccines cause autism and even though this has been completely misproven, people still think he was right. He was LEGIT BAD.
Yep, his brand of bullshit is STILL causing problems today and its getting worse. As more and more people start believing that Vaccines are bad, we're getting closer and closer to having outbreaks of measles and polio again. Hell, its even already happening in some places where antivax wingnuts are especially prevalent.
hah, I remember ear candling... My cousin, who regularly visits psychics and is eager to hop on any new age trend, was touting the virtues of it and convinced my mom to hold an "ear candling party" My cousin didn't appreciate when I demonstrated that the same "gunk" appeared even when not inserted into an ear. She didn't speak to me for several years after that, which I was surprisingly ok with.
I want to see that. It's exactly what I think of ear candling, that the gunk could be produced without actually putting it in an ear, but that didn't happen with my one attempt. If I could work out the particular non-ear based conditions that create the same gunk, I'd share that to a number of people i know.
I too refused to participate in ear candling. Some idiot friend of an idiot acquaintance kept on and on and ducking on about it until I left the pub. It was one of very few new age things my grandmother didn't try ramming down my throat.
So my sister used ear candles for just cleaning her ears periodically. You can buy a pack of 2 from Walmart...and you are supposed to cut off the flame every inch. I was very skeptical and afraid! But after getting a bunch of random ear aches, thought it might help. (It semi did, but I still get them sometimes so probably not related) I was certain that the wax was from the candle itself! And I think next time I buy them.... I'll experiment and see.
She never claimed anything about it but cleaning ear wax out. So no butt future reading there!
@@maeve_a Depends on what type of candle used. Some types of candle wax leave more wax that discolors to a yellowish to brown that looks like earwax to some people.
It's not new age. It's been around for a few generations, actually. At least here in France and the people who are fond of it don't care if it's fake they keep doing it anyway. Idk.
Do you know what they call alternative medicine that works?
Medicine.
Thanks, Tim.
Well, yes...but also no. For example, there are a lot of plants with demonstrated medicinal effects which haven't made their way into "regular" medicine. To some extent, it's the "trying to drink from a firehose" effect. Doctors have so many pharmaceutical options available that there's small incentive to promote something for which the dose is hard to regulate and can't be bought at a local pharmacy. The flip side of that, of course, is that many people reject conventional medicine for something else "because it's natural" without understanding that "natural" isn't synonymous with "safe". The Toxic Reef Crab is so poisonous that natives historically used it for suicide. But, hey, it's all natural! Like...you know...cobra venom. If some extract of flora or fauna works as medicine, it's because it's doing what medicine does, ergo is potentially just as dangerous or worse. But there are nevertheless plants you can grow in your yard that have demonstrated efficacy as medicine. It's (in my opinion) always worth looking into things that are purported to be medicinal but you have to do it with a degree of skepticism and evaluate it by the scientific method.

Simon,
Please check on ETA...
No reason.....
Really, just check to make sure the chains it's attached to in the basement are extra solid...
No reason...
I hope he's ok, or Sam and Danny will only have the boiler for heat.
That would seem like enough, but Simon has never bought them clothing so they're wearing what they had on when Simon captured them. And it's been a long time, those clothes must be threadbare and full of holes. They need that extra bit of ETA to survive the winter.
Last video Simon said Danny is chained to a radiator. So its safe to assume ETA has been redirected to slave manager.

Interestingly enough, GK Chesterton pointed out the issues with the lie detector test back in the 20's and people mocked him for it.

Favorite quote of the week: “We’re not here to solve moral issues we’re just here to pass judgement on pricks!” 🤣🤣🤣
I've met people who still bring up phrenology as if it were relevant, the world of political debates on the internet is a cesspool which will ruin your belief in human intelligence.
Either that or you just get to learn some psychology. IE the average person is pretty stupid. Which of course means that near half are more stupid than that. They then believe "wot me mate sed daan the pub" has equal validity to a peer reviewed medical journal article.
When the standard gets lowered from objective reality to "deeply held belief", the results are entirely predictable.
@@gordonlawrence1448 that quote is from an famous old American comic. Can't recall his name of the top of my head.
I always liked the idea of retrophrenology that was brought up in a footnote in a discworld book.
Instead of feeling up someones skull to conclude personality traits from dents in your head, a retrophenologist is a troll with a big hammer that puts the necessary dents into your head
It's like eugenics, it comes back into fashion every so often.
Well I seem to remember from uni that the worm experiment had some merit. Warning, long and boring explanation ahead. Firstly they were flatworms, not annelids (earthworms) which are very simple creatures with a bunch of biological quirks (such as being able to basically rearrange all their cells). They trained them to curl up when exposed to light (by exposing them to light then shocking them a bunch of times) then chopped the trained flatworms up and fed them to untrained worms. Those fed worms then would curl up significantly more often when exposed to light than non-cannibalistic worms. So they theorized there was some uptake of genetic material or an important molecule such as RNA that led to this across the digestive system. Of course flatworms have very simple digestive systems so large molecules could potentially cross the barrier. Not possible in humans at all so edible learning is still far off fantasy. Hope people enjoyed this and if anyone knows more than I do on this I'd love to hear it.
I am just enamoured by the phrase "edible learning".
8:10 Hotel Rwanda is a great movie about the genocide that you should watch if you haven't already. Somehow my teacher got away with showing us it in class, but that's likely because he didn't give 2 fucks and knew the school wasn't gonna fire him anyway.
My teacher showed me that film too, it was all very copasetic, nobody objected.
Effective education comes through informative use of movies imho . Maybe we were to young to appreciate all of it but, we had an art teacher at 8th and 9th grade who "made us" watch "Mad max the road warrior", "Terminator" and for many reasons a large diversity of movies like "Pretty in pink", "Citizen Kane", "Rick Kirby",and "Do the right thing". Among many other movies that we as a class had to analyze at length and listen to the teachers long, and in depth monologue evaluations Etc, but those were popular classes indeed. "Hotel Rwanda" would probably had made her list, but this was before the Rwandan genocide.
We ended up watching that in Religious Education, don't ask me why lmao

Elon Musk's dad owned an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa. Sounds like (inheriting the benefits of) having cheat codes on to me
I thought his dad was famed fragrance maker Jovan.
if i recall correctly though elon had none of that. he made his own money (having been effectively homeless at one point)
i don't like elon musk, but youre citing things that didn't happen
also, daddy owns still his patent on his only video game he made while kid there in white South Africa I believe Mr. Musk breath still believes in apartheid So I'm sure daddy Musk saw fit to punish those who stole from him as well as Cecil Rhodes did
@@Mini_Squatch he was never homeless, and daddy was always there to bail him out if he wanted. Plus he has always been an abusive piece of shit to his workers.
Except Elon's money came from his families blood emerald mines :) So...no he didn't really do it himself.
and Elon's video game he made as a entitled white kid in white South Africa His dad still has the rights to it
Dowsing can genuinely cause harm, some professionals trust it as a way to "detect" man made objects under the ground in the hopes that it can prevent accidents which can end badly if someone hits a gas line with a backhoe.

On chiropractic medicine:
Have you ever looked at the core tenets of chiropractic?
It's clear pseudoscience.
That said unlike other pseudoscience it's not entirely ineffective. The difference is it's not more effective than other therapies and it poses more risk.
For a doctor who takes the hippocratic oath, and is legally bound to do risk versus benefit assessments for any procedure, one should never recommend chiropractic medicine, in my opinion. There are better alternatives, such as deep tissue massage, stretching, rolfing, Phyaical therapy, etc. These may also be applied by a chiropractor, but they should just leave out the pseudoscience.
Yeah...I use chiros. But...I have to sort out the quackery and find ones that are efficient at correcting specific subluxations. As I have hypermobile joints that sublux and even fully dislocate, and cannot always get them back in place on my own, a GOOD chiro is a necessity.
They may spend the rest of their time just making people's spines make impressive noises and selling ear candles, but whatever...as long as they're there when I need them, because MDs suck at dealing with hypermobile joints and it's insanely expensive to go to an ER just because I coughed hard and put a rib out.
@@maeve_a Funny but I also have to use that same technique with 'regular' MD's.
There are oaths and then there are oaths and the effectiveness of the oath is never put up to scientific scrutiny.

In America we just call those Gas Stations, Simon
We have petrol stations yeah, where you fill the car up with petrol, but also services where there's like.. a bigger car park, you can fill the car up but also grab some food and a newspaper or something because there's some shops and fast food places.
It's a truck stop or rest stop on a highway in America. Or you know, a gas station.

Simon: Elon Musk didn't kill anyone!

@Varizen87 Simon making a huge assumption there.
Oh man, when I was in high school I lived with a family that regularly used ear candles. My mother was curious what exactly came out of her ear and asked me to take it to school and look at it under the microscope. With support of my biology teacher, we concluded that it was pollen from the beeswax. I haven't allowed my ear to be candled since moving out of that house.
So Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth is a polygraph kind of?

Simon Whistler, "Why are we stuck in this quagmire of morals? We're not here to solve moral issues. We're just here to pass judgement on pricks."
I love you Simon.
Oh man, I'd forgotten ear candling was a thing. A very gullible relative was briefly a "practitioner" and for some reason a bunch of us got together at a great-aunt's house for dinner and candling. The procedure was about as awkward and uncomfortable as you'd expect, but exponentially more awkward as a teenager lying on my great-aunt's bed with a candle in my ear and half my family standing around watching. So, uh, thanks for dredging up that memory?
Based on a sample size of roughly 8 or 9 people, and compared to no control group whatsoever, I can report that ear candling did not even placebo-effect any of us to better health or hearing. And that bit of random anecdata is probably a better-designed clinical study than the proponents of ear candling ever performed.
