Keith is like the dream outcome for us nerds. We end up cool, successful, well-knowledgeable, and have a nice accent.
EmperorTigerstar love your vids too, cool to see you here!

I wonder if Keith suffers from “librarian syndrome”: the acute awareness that there is far more literature worth reading than anyone can get through in a lifetime.
Keith the gent is back!!!!!!!!!
EmperorTigerstar - You forgot to mention Keith's fashion sense... see 2:20
Keith is a jock and he would kick your ass.
Keith has really grown into his role on this channel. The watch tapping, the eye rolling, the sassiness... he's the biggest star of the Brady-network since Professor Poliakoff, IMHO. And I could listen to his velvet voice read Victorian chicken-scratch handwriting all day long.
Who else wanted to hear Keith read that whole paper on Basalt?
Little does Brady know, Keith is stealthily grooming his replacement.
Behave
Keith can not be replaced
Don't use the word grooming, use the word training
Keith is so smug and sassy :D
Simon T Smug? No. Just confident in his knowledge. I see him as pretty humble given how much he knows and has been exposed to.
4:15 Could it be I made a mistake and am on the wrong side? Nah, obviously someone has put all these books in the wrong way around! ;)
I think Brady didn't get the job and the next episode will have Keith as the head librarian again
This has instantly become one of my favorite episodes of Objectivity.
MisterTalkingMachine Yup. As soon as I saw the title it was 'right up there'.
Objectivity moves subtly into the docu-drama-thriller genre:
Who really *is* the Head Librarian? Who controls the White Gloves of Destiny? How can the cameraman of Objectivity appear in his own videos? What is the mysterious reflection in the left flask *really* telling us about the intent of bacterial nation states?
Tune in next week...
Great episode and well done with the role reversal idea. Maybe next we'll see Keith setting fire to hydrogen fillmed by Sir Martyn P with Brady doing the lab work. ;)
Seeing Brady and Keith switch roles was hilarious, well done!
Sassy Keith, I like it
ZeikJT keith is extremely savage
He got way more attitude when on a break from his job. I love it.
Brady, despite watching Keith expertly extract books over so many Objectivity videos (and to be sure, I love Keith as much as anyone), seeing you bumble around the archives was the first time I realized the significance of what Objectivity is: The greats stood on the shoulders of giants, but you and Keith are actually walking among them.
It's not always glamorous and it's not always Darwin, but it is so many untold stories; any one of which could have been, and without which none could have been.
Thank you for sharing that with us.
Keith nonchanontly checking his wristwatch... Maybe for such occasions he should have a pocketwatch.
I have a theory that Keith is literally the best human being on the planet. I have yet to see any evidence to refute it.
Hey man, at least I'm not trawling around youtube looking for comments sections to fill with hateful comments!
"I don't believe in destiny even though it brought us together. " 🤤
Keith smile on thumbnail.... What a sunshine boi 👌🌻
I was actually interested in the Origin of Traps
The original title seems to have been "Of Traps and Basalts", not their origin.
Keith is such a hero.I love to see his enjoyment (and sassy humor) go up on making these video's over the years. Can't wait for the 200th episode milestone of you (Brady) and Keith 🎉
Keith is actually the best
I propose a new segment/series of Objectivity."Keiths Choice"
Keith should be the most perfect candidate for a TED talk. God knows TED needs to up the quality of their speakers these days
Aw. I was actually interested in the basalt paper...
Skooby Doofus
Me too, as was Keith by the looks of it.
Same!
Skooby Doofus Same here. That would have been very interesting to read.
Aww, I found the first paper sounding kinda interesting
So much sass in this episode, i love it
I love it! Keith is always amazing (and so dapper) and I loved Brady finding the bits from the archives! Great episode as always!
I love Keith
geology is amazingly dull to everyone, but simply amazing to those who study it
It's the first science humans learned
And yet, while geology is considered dull, some results of geological processes in action are considered by many to be the most amazing sights on this planet.
Sciolist i suppose it is in a way, though botany might be earlier
That's not dull to everyone then, is it? ;)
A key idea behind the show QI is that _anything_ is interesting if you look at it closely enough.
The Objectivity videos back that up nicely; I had no initial interest in 85% of the topics covered here, but every single one has turned out to be utterly fascinating.
The presentation goes a long way, of course. But if you are curious about the world we live in, there is wonder everywhere.
William White what I think you mean is one of the last sciences to be formalised.
Understanding the behaviour of rock was one of the first things humans did, soon after learning which plant was safe
Brady's absolute puppydog eyes at 3:47 in anticipation of getting a job at the RS are priceless.
"Did William Hershel draw that?"
"Yeah!"
Also the slow motion shot of Keith donning the gloves is golden!
"Could've been Caroline. We'd need to research."
Keith is very humble, patient, and steady. What a pair... Opposites really do attract.
2:17 This made me laugh so much XD
The camera angle on Keith is the best :'D
I wonder how many of these white gloves of Destiny entries haven’t ever been requested before
So now we know who'll be Keith' successor some day :D
Wow, #173 already... I remember when the first one aired and it feels like it was yesterday!
Wore my Objectivity shirt today, got a new video!
Wear it more often, pls. ;)

Or Tuesday.
I like when keth read the papers
This is awesome, Keith definitely needs to do this again.
I love seeing lucky dips with a pair of White Gloves of Destiny!
Ahhhhh beautiful engraving - hoorah!
I love these videos so so much. Thanks Brady, and especially thank you so so much Keith.
These really are their own specimen, and deserve their own appreciation.
Thanks again, both of you.
Brady became confident of his talents as a librarian ahead of time! What a delightful instalment.
is there a bio of keith anywhere? an amazing mind
4:20 The happiest Keith you've ever seen XD
I happen to like gems and minerals. I was hoping to have a look see for more papers on that. I would also have liked more detail on how microbes in the air are measured. Please do a follow up where you go more in depth. I also like the way these videos put the information at my level of understanding.
I used to work in a library, and when I retire from my current job, I'd like to go back to it. Customers were always amazed at how well I could find my way around the collection, and always seemed to know where to go to find the information they were looking for. The truth about that is, I knew how the books were cataloged and when they told me the subject, I knew where on the shelves the books should be. Unless they were looking for a particular author, I could generally take them straight to the section, without having to look it up. As long as the library uses the Dewey Decimal system, I still could, though it's been 20 years since I last worked in a library. Another thing about that is, people looked at me as someone who knew more than I really did. For that matter, they still look at me that way. Just because I know where to find information doesn't mean I know the information. Keith knows where to find the information, which is frequently 80% of the battle. The rest is how you use the information once you find it.
Keith is one of those guys who EVERYONE likes. It’s a wonder he doesn’t have his own TV show.
This is gold!
Keith's voice is calm and soothing like Ben Winshaw's voice
Really enjoy this channel
I love these!
Brady is like, no pictures, you lose...
Keith is like, oh my goodness transcript, where have you been all of my life! This is great.
Happy Anniversary on your appointment as Royal Society Head Librarian.
I have so much respect for the royal society ! Look at this...people who lived more than 100 years ago...150 years ago ...were publishing research on EVERYTHING...from basalts to planets...and in today's world, what do you usually say to someone who is doing something out of the norm? "WHAT's THE POINT OF THIS!?"
Oh how I wish I could visit The Royal Society someday! I surely would like to be a member of it someday as well !!
Aw man I love this one
I feckin' love this channel. Even the more boring choices by the white gloves of destiny end up with some fun videos :-D
Aww Keith! You're amazing...I swear I love you
Oh man, this one had me in stitches, so funny.
Love the humour in this one :)
Savage Keith is savage.
In a classical MTV roast he would be unroastable whilst roasting the world.
1:28 that sigh of disappointment reminded me of grey in hello internet
I want to hear more about the traps and basalts paper. The histories of the various basaltic trap formations are such a big part of the history of life (especially in the mass extinctions parts of it) on this planet.
I don't know entirely why, but I really like the ones where I get to see text from ages past. Whether it's old-style handwriting or old-style printing. It's my jam! 🤓📝
Keith is merciless! :D
Can we have a hi rez version of the flasks ? Without the Moiré effects XD
I wanna see how they did the moulds...
I'm disappointed there wasn't dramatic music when they had the slo-mo shot of Keith putting the gloves on.
Haha, Keith is awesome.
Keith needs his own show
I love Keith throwing shade at you Brady
Dude, the paper on the origin of basalts was super interesting.
wow. I lived in Dublin palmerstown :)
keith is the man
How is I find two Blok's reading a letter so fascinating. I've been locking to long.
This is an instant classic!😂
Thought it was the origin of bath salts.
Keith is amazing. Can we clone him?
It's not easy being Keith.
I wanted to hear more about the basalts.
Being a fan of H. P. Lovecraft's "The case of Charles Dexter Ward" That 2nd story had the possibility of been super interesting.
Just a tad of Spiritual Quantum Entanglement in that one...but it did help calm some Runge Spikes I was experiencing...thanks👍😇
has anyone ever thought about publishing all the papers online?
Although the engraving certainly was rather nice, I don't think that's what 'pulled [this episode] from the fire' at all. Nah; what really did that was the simply magnificent casual-comic banter Brady and Keith seem to generate.
I don't have any idea how much is scripted/planned in advance. (Like the single check-out slip, or the books being stored 'the wrong way around' etc.) But it really doesn't matter. This is light-hearted, utterly enjoyable, entertaining humour at it's pinnacle. Great job, guys.
Keith is definatley the most interesting man in the world
keith is a proper gent
I don't understand what was written by hand in those notes :O
Just discovered that you have Objectivity t-shirts. Now I just have to decide between the Newton or the Darwin.....
Go for both!

The dynamic duo enthrall us yet again with their use of whit and metaphor.
I don't know, I get the feeling that Brady is really quite oblivious to who Keith really is. I mean, he doesn't act with the kind of awe and respect one might have for the head librarian of the RS. I think one of the reasons we like Keith so much is that he plays along perfectly, never getting offended at Brady's "insolence"!
brady sucks at keith's job hahaha, awesome video !
"Smashing archive assistant" he once said...
Keith's disappointed in Brady is soo fucking real
I want Brady’s beard
At 4:09 what is in the red canister behind him?
Likely a fire suppression system. Tanks will contain a gas along the lines of carbon dioxide or halon that suffocates any fire that starts. Could be something else, but I think that’s most likely.
Keith:Objectivity :: Neil:Periodic_Videos
...
But more talkative. Or maybe more akin to Martyn.
Brady you're supposed to have two separate slips because you have to leave the slip in place of the document when you take it out so you know where exactly it goes when returning it. C'mon rookie!
Keith just had to pick the one in middle and at the very end. You have to be more random than that!
Where can i buy some white gloves ??
therapistznd amazon
therapistznd
Any apothecary, at least in Norway.
Come on Brady do it properly, now you can’t even open the door!
Much like the Bacon number, you have the Moore number. How many reports you are away from a report with images?
As John Lennon said... Give Keith a chance.
Keith... the wizard gatekeeper of ancient secrets. saruman /gandalf of our time.
I hope this doesnt mean that this is wrapping up
There is only one dislike: I wonder who did it? Was it Keith or Brady?))
Please oh please let Keith put on the White Gloves of Destiny again! More over, I'd very much like to see more of Brady looking for the right volume))
I think that maybe 10% of us care about what theyre reading, and the rest of us like his voice
why would you skip the reading ;-(
Maybe Brady should switch roles with the camera man like the every other Brady channel for one video
