I've got a feeling that program Karl watched with Einstein might have been referring to Freeman Dyson, the Physicist and Mathematician, not James Dyson the inventor of the vacuum cleaner.
@@georgerichardson6479Einstein isn't in that list though. Both Freeman Dyson and Albert Einstein had posts at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, so in my mind are more equivalent but you're probably right, the program Karl watched would have been James Dyson, who has created some great products, just not sure a bag-less vac quite matches the Photoelectric Effect or General Relativity.
He very rarely make good points. Karl is very quick-witted, and an absolutely excellent improv comedian, but he severly lack the ability to fully grasp concepts. He reads one article about a subject, thinks he's got the hang of it, but doesn't seem to understand how much he still doesn't know about it. Then he talks like an expert, with great confidence, about topics he barely gets. He's the type of bloke who denies new scientific findings because it doesn't 'feel right' with what his anecdotal presumptions are. Every time he talks about a subject that we, the viewers, know equally little about, he seems to be talking sense. But, as showcased in this video, when we as viewers actually have some insight about what he's talking about, his parodical overconfidence becomes crystal clear.
@@TarjeiElias I honestly couldn’t agree more with this. One such clip (I believe the topic was solving famine in third world countries), a lot of Karl’s defenders (why I usually don’t scroll down to read the comment sections on these videos because I like to keep my blood pressure down, but I’m glad I found your comment) has Karl saying (I’m paraphrasing): “Well then how would you solve it?” And Ricky says: “I don’t know, I don’t even pretend to know.” So his defenders quote Karl, and then quote Ricky, but leave out the I don’t even pretend to know part, as if that validates Karl over Ricky. I guess you can say that’s predicated on people’s growing revulsion towards intellectualism and lionizing those who are more simple-minded because they feel they relate to them more? That’s just a hypothesis on my end...

Really weird to hear Karl talking at 1:36 I don't know why I think it's just cause most of the humour behind him isn't through jokes it's through him being a bald headed plonk
Entomologists name as many species of insect as they can because they have big egos and they love taking credit for finding them. Also, golden orb Weaver spider silk is being used as a kind of platform to grow stem cells on and the human immune system won't kill it.
Most of the new species are the same species that just doesnt happen to breed together in the wild. When the definition is can breed and produce viable off spring. For example grizzl bears and polar bears can interbreed and create off spring. This means that we may have less species of bears then we thought and theyvare actually different breeds like dogs. But new species get you money and make good for publishing.
I've asked myself many many times for a number of years now, Is Karl for real? Is this a joke or a alternate personality or something that's he puts on for the cameras / radio? I mean no one can really be as closed minded as that. I'm surprised he puts milk in his cornflakes. Karl: Do we really need milk? Cant we just be happy with the cornflakes? Why did scientists invent milk anyway?
He is really like that. I don’t think he’s always close-minded though. In fact I think he’s often too open minded and that’s why he believes everything he reads.
There’s also the fact of things that still could be invented. People still dream of a world with flying cars. It’s absolutely possible and the closest thing we’re have right now to that is called a helicopter. So maybe there could be some unique, private, more affordable and more efficient kind of helicopter could buy with the same money they use to buy a car. But for that to be done, air trafficking rules have to be established so people aren’t slamming into each other and murdering each other every day in their private helicopter.
What's the difference between a race and a species? There are different races of humans but not different species of humans, and vice versa with animals. We don't say that a golden retriever is a different race than a German Shepard bc it evolved differently, but humans evolved differently two, with skin tones and certain features but we call our differences racial differences.
It annoys me at times how little natural curiosity this man has. It always comes down to "why bother", and the idea of knowledge for the sake of knowledge, or indeed for application, just doesn't resonate with him.
Yeah dont ne ignorant carl if people stopped researching new things wondered be discovered and as a society we woudlnt develop. Yes we dont need to as he says but we do so to further expand ourselves and help ourselves granted some can actually do the opposite n ultimately destroy ourselves.. We could discover a spider and then somewhere along the line it greats a worldwide pandemic

Probably!

He is also the same James Dyson who backed Brexit and then casually moved his business out of the UK.

You basically just described the Dunning Kruger effect.
I love how the police and the gangsters nod at each other. Then the scientists and the spiders do. Don't know why that's funny to me
Cause its like the researchers somehow have as much authority over spiders as the cops do over the thugs, lol
The part starting around 2:30 is pure art. The animators did a really good job using their craft to the fullest
It's just crazy to suddenly hear Wheatley

Call off the search for the cancer resistant spider, guys. Enough's enough, the Frisbee was a step too far... :D :D :D omg...
And wasn't the frisbee invented a really long time ago? Oh man, karl..
See through toaster is actually a great idea, even if it has been done before. Id never heard of it. I want one now! 😂🍞🥐🥖🥯
God I’d love to hear Karl’s thoughts on Covid
Beaten to the post? More like beaten to the toast.

Ahhh! 5 years ago and i only just commented the same joke!
YYEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!
I was just about to say this.
this is inception now because IVE been beaten to the p̶o̶s̶t̶ toast
The Frisbee was invented when school kids started throwing pie tins from the Frisbie Pie Company.
really?
@@tuttosalve8352 no
@@a.g.m.s_1916 yes
Was created from a guy in Nasa!
@@kawaiilotus Cool
these videos are a hidden fucking gem
The frisbee isn't even a new invention, it's ancient.
It was invented in 1885 when Marty McFly threw a pie tin at Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen.
Ah yes, the peak of human technology: the frisbee
A see through toaster sounds pretty cool ngl
I like Karl’s idea of the great inventions of the 20th/21st century are the frisbee. he mentions it here and in another video.
Well if they were naming great scientists they were probably refering to Freeman Dyson. Who is NOT the creator of the dyson vacuum.
No, it’s Miles Dyson, destroyer of humanity.
Frisbees were originally lids for “Ma Frisbee’s pies”. Kids chucked them about and somebody from “Wham-o” noticed and made a plastic version.
Karl's metaphors are truly big brained
There was this see through toaster knockin' about 🙂
That is actually a really good idea.
The smartphone was pretty cool. Electric cars too. Still plenty of scientific development
There was an advert at the end of this for Dyson vacuums with lasers that reveal invisible dust. 😂
Beaten to the post.... he definitely meant toast :D
Pilkington's crass ignorance, in my opinion is not funny, but the person who made thiese animations is genius pure.
Karl’s thing about undiscovered species does make sense. If we haven’t discovered it yet then it probably wouldn’t have much effect on us
To be fair, this philosophy could have avoided twitter
I love the animation
The animation is so good
