I’m glad to see channel seems to getting back to normal viewership and engagement. I remember you speaking a few months ago about some of the issues the channel has dealing with UA-cam’s algorithms. If this channel goes after I’ve already lost several of my favorite creators over the last 5-6 years then I’m just gonna leave UA-cam. I’ve been an active member on this site for over 13 years at this point and I remain on this platform for educational content and the art community, and it’s sad to see people give accolades and praise influencers over the teachers, artists, and philosophers on this platform.
There’s always ebbs and flows. Thankfully it’s on a good roll right now. But the issues of “style over substance” (for lack of a better term) is true on every media platform. I think that’s just how humanity rolls. It’s up to me to make my “substance” interesting enough to engage with. So I’m doing my best. 🙂
@@joescott Actually, about Officer Murdoch’s death on Titanic, there are a few accounts that state that an officer did shoot himself, these being from George Rheims, Peter Daly, Eugene Daly, and Scullion Collins to name a few others, so evidence does point to an officer having shot himself. The problem is with the identity of this officer, as many of the accounts are vague about which one was shot. What’s interesting is that Collins testimony states that “the senior mate, the one next to the captain” shot himself while he was working on Collapsible A with the “Scots officer”. The officer right under the Captain would be Chief Officer Henry Wilde and the “Scots officer” would be First Officer William Murdoch. The evidence points to Chief Officer Wilde having shot himself instead of First Officer Murdoch. Wilde did lose his wife and twin sons before the voyage, so maybe he was just wanted a quick way out instead of having to freeze to death in the water.
"The idea of shooting a whole film without using any lights whatsoever wasn't pioneered until House of the Dragon" The delivery of that made me break phone 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Multiverse foam” might actually be the best description I’ve ever heard. It makes it very easy to visualize a multiverse when you consider every bubble forming as the foam expands as a separate universe.
Probably is a foam. Wonder if it is also sticky like soap foam or? And are the gods playing around in it or is the universe foam the most sacred material in their 🤷♂️ gigawerse?
Thanks for this Joe, the idea of being one of the survivors of the Titanic in the water in the middle of the ocean just became exponentially more terrifying upon realizing that we'd basically be in the pitch darkness. (And yes, I realize this SHOULD have been obvious to begin with.)
So… James Cameron actually went back and edited the sky of the sinking. He got too many messages from astrophysicists saying “So… this is flat out wrong for this latitude at this date at this time. Just saying.” So he freaking FIXED it! Which… kinda trippy!
@@RiverReeves23 that's... not even remotely true Nothing was fine before covid. Might be worse now, idk, but tribalism is human nature. Polarization, segregation, those things have existed for as long as we did
I often quote "in an evolutionary sense, that drives all our emotions, decisions, our society through natural selection, ... we just came out of the forest yesterday"
@@MrGaborKukucska yeee! We really, really did. It's SO fascinating to look at our normal reality from an "outsider view". This is only the beginning of the global human civilization. Imagine what sorts of things we could do in a thousand years if we don't collapse. Or a million... Heh, even a million years is such little time for "the universe", yet incomprehensably long for us. Sad thing though, even in the best possible scenario where we _don't_ annihilate ourselves and develop for millions of years, I'll still be just a little man who won't see any of it :( And yeah, evolution drives our entire reality. That sucks too! I don't wanna be an animal, I don't want to see a subject reality. Jeez, it's kinda like a prison. Nah, I wish I was a God that sees what is objectively there and thinks logically and lives forever! I really don't wanna be an animal. At least I'm doing my best, with my animal brain, to be better than that!
I just want to say that I really appreciate you explaining scientific concepts in a way that a layman can understand. I saw a video where another educator was interviewing other video educators at a video conference and when I saw you appear on the screen, it wasn't like watching an Internet personality, it was like looking at the face of a friend! You're like the kind of person who would join into scientific conversations people are having at a bar or a pub and do calculations on a napkin to try to figure stuff out!
"We're a tribal species trying to be a global species" Literally just had this convo with someone, lol. They brought up the Fermi Paradox, and asked "if there's other intelligent life out there, why haven't they visited us?" To which I proposed "Might be for the same reason we don't go messing with uncontacted tribes" I often wonder if maybe we're the equivalent of the Sentinalese tribe on this end of the galaxy. And even aside from that, I find it odd that we assume that an intelligent species of aliens is somehow obligated to interact with us just because they're made aware we're here. If they're out there traveling through space I imagine they've got their own important shit to take care of.
to get to space collonisationand expension a planet need to reach a level of technology which allow for significant space presence before exhausting the finite planet ressource s without trigering environment crisis which are both source of massive confrontation and loss of capability. This will need both generalized fusion power for energy and gathering capability from nearby moons ,asteroid and other planets..
The internet is a weird space for humanity to be. I, myself enjoy 90% of what I watch on the internet to be programs like yours, where I can learn new things. Not always super important things. But I'm always wanting to learn more. To me that's most of my fun in life is learning about new things. I still take the time to escape, and watch a couple of Shows and movies. But learning is a lot of fun!
Same here. I enjoy most of what I encounter on the internet, but after so many years, the algorithms know me by now and recommend good channels/sites. I really like learning too, and Joe's channel is educational at times, and at the very least informational.
@@JackieBaisa I think you have to train it LOL. I try to support the creators I like by enduring the commercials so they'll get their pittance from UA-cam. I zap them out otherwise. Now the algorithm has figured out what kind of channels I will watch the ads in and sends more. At least that seems to be what's happening, maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but they are about money.
I love the "Universe was design, or we would not exist" argument. The serious problem with all arguments like that are the assumptions that no other combination would have produced something akin to life with different rules. Life exists because it does. Change a few rules, and life as we *know* it would not exist. That does not mean that life of some kind would not exist. That is what happens when people can not see beyond themselves.
Good point! I keep thinking about the eye as a proof of design and what was said is; much like the toungue and that complicated sense that life is formed around, most things have eyes, and eyes can form very easily. Even if it is very simple eye designs they can be anywhere that the evolved from can seem to grow it. It just finds a way. It isn't like there is a cosmic maker, life just grows until it grows better. No sense in thinking about what hasn't happened because it most certainly did, or we wouldn't be observing it.
I think a good rebuttal to that is like, we have such a narrow minded view of what "life" and consciousness are, because all we know is carbon based lifeform that looks familiar. We may have already found life outside of our solar system (via JWST and whatnot) and just not known the thing we took a picture of was living or conscious.
Also a much better argument to start with, is that if you go back far enough, something came from nothing, at least with our knowledge of how the universe works. BUT the question of if it was designed to work out the way it did by a higher power, that's unprovable, and at the same time not really disprovable. People that get worked up over defending their belief online are missing a much bigger question here: is what I'm saying going to change anybodys mind? At all, even just one person? The answer is almost always no. You won't fundamentally change someone's mind in a youtube comments section, just like you're not gonna be swayed by some idiot commenter. But we're all the idiot commenter when we engage in that kind of discussion. Idk man, just something to think about. Obviously I'm not talking about people calmly discussing theories lol yall know exactly the kind of comment I'm talking about.
"there was no moon that night" and SUDDENLY you made that horrible event even more horrifying. Nothing but darkness & stars above, the ice cold black ocean below and wailing (dying) survivors around you.
This is the first generation that can instantly have an answer to any question. Any skill they want to learn, there is usually a tutorial they can watch. I think the Internet is a fantastic boon to humanity.
The other side of this though is "an answer" doesn't mean "the correct answer". Even before the internet there were multiple phrases for how lies are so much faster to spread than the truth.
OK... so I'm usually the last person to recognize blunders in movies... but I could not help but notice how Joe was not wearing glasses when he got up to walk away for the Elon/ Twitter bit but when it cuts to him walking away and throughout the bit he has his glasses on. Then, when he sits down, they are off again! Now, with this being said, Joe, if you see this, it whoever else reads it, it did not in anyway, change the video for me! I love your content and it's way better than mine - I do not have any content! Thank you for the many years of laughter and stimulating content you provide. I have followed your channel for years now!
Maybe the glasses being off-on-off boosts Joe's reference to the 'old days' he misses. He wore glasses in the old days, until he got lasik two years ago.
Its pretty much hostile to everything, though. Its extremely difficult to imagine a complex anything surviving even the easy stuff like incredible radiation and physical destruction, and if you can, entropy is there to make sure everything is temporary over long enough periods of time.
1/137 makes whatever kind of life exists possible, even if wildly different from our own, because even very different life would presumably still be made of atoms and molecules.
Yes! Please do that video on "remote viewing". I've read lots about it through the years. There's a great book out by the journalist Jon Ronson, called "The Men Who Stare at goats". Quirky title, and a comedic film of the same name was made starring some big names. (No idea what Mr. Ronson thought of the film). I've never seen the movie, but I've read the book twice. Very informative on an off-shoot concept surrounding your hopefully forth-coming treatise-- these were all conceived around the same time. I highly recommend you read this book as an overview to the mindsets involved for these programs.
At the risk of stating the obvious, the clips he used during that section were from the movie! I never saw the movie or read the book, but I am somewhat familiar with the entire story and it's wild.
It's a yes please from me too 🙂 It would be fun if he did a remote viewing-test on the viewers in the video. Asked us what item he had in a closed envelope/box or what was in such and such location and then we would pause the video and do our remote viewing attempt for like 5 minutes. After that we would either see what was in the envelope/box/location in that paused video or in a separate short/video. In one podcast I used to listen to, they had a guest who had written a book about remote viewing. He did this test on the hosts and I tried it myself as well for fun and I got the shape of the item right. Rest of it not so much 😄
@@Tinil0 From what I've seen the book is much better. It is pretty wild, but the book treats it much more seriously than, apparently, the movie. Good read!
Anybody from Salt Lake City can relate to the 'killed by smog' scenario. Our air quality during temperature inversions in the winter is unbearable. Like, worst-air-quality-in-the-world unbearable. The mountains create a giant soup bowl of trapped smog until a storm comes through and stirs it up. It's not uncommon to go without sunshine for days, or even weeks, and for the visibility to be two or three hundred yards. (Or meters, if you prefer.) Your reply to the question about Twitter was gold. 😁
...Atheist-UA-camrs should really be your next stop if you enjoyed this here. The Myth they 'got nothing to say' and/or 'only insult Theists' is wrong, after all. GMS, Holy Koolaid and Telltale-Fireside all have countless Theists as Fans, so that speaks for itself; especially when you consider it was so even before the Release of the tear-jerkingly-funny Video "The Great Evangelical Double-Down".
It's going to get worse as The Lake dries up, toxic gases are released because the mass of water is no longer containing them under the lakebed. So good luck with that! 🙂😭
Hi Joe, a quick comment about the fine structure constant: if there was no life in our universe, no one would be there to confirm that this constant is not the right one to bring life. The fact that we are here to observe it means there is life, so it has to be the right number. When you buy a lottery ticket and you don’t win, you are there to acknowledge it. In this case, the fact that we won the lottery of life means all the right parameters were aligned. Or else, no one could acknowledge it.
Yeah, that's obviously true. But it doesn't answer the question _why_ the fine structure constant is the way it is. Of course, if it weren't, I wouldn't be here to ask that question. But the question itself is not inherently tied to my existence, wherefore that also doesn't answer the question either.
@@lonestarr1490 It couldn't be anything else. Just because it's a number and we know of many numbers doesn't mean it could be any other number. Yes I know, it's not really an answer either.
@@TDrudley It is an answer, if by "it couldn't be anything else" you mean there's some fundamental law that forces it to be exactly what it is, and we just don't know of this law, yet.
I like the universe evolution theory, where there's a series instead of a multiverse and only the universes that can create new universes win out. In this case it's universes that create black holes.
I like the idea that the universe creates itself once it evolves the ability to do so over the eons. Basically life's progeny created the universe at some point in the future, at which point it transcended time and was consistent cyclically with itself.
Just to note, there is absolutely no evidence that we live in a "multi-verse." That is fabricated because there is no possibility for evolution to work. If there is a "multi-verse," the chances of evolution are heightened to infinity. Therefore the chances for evolution are possible. The other possibility/probability is that God exists. Something eternal, who knows everything must exist. Either in the beginning, there was absolutely nothing & yet evolution somehow, over all impossibly can create intelligence, even while all life is moving toward a downward spiral or God is apart from the physical world, & created a world that He is not physically connected too. Because He created us, & loved us but the ultimate result is death from anything that abuses His perfect order, He became a man in order to pay the price for us all. The only possible way to get in on this deal of life with Him is to call on Him (Romans 10:13). We can only say, thank you Lord for Your amazing grace for taking our sin. Thank you Lord Jesus
@1:44 - literal shivers up my spine. I'm terrified of dark water & to know those people were not only in dark water, but a near pitch black night... nope 😖
Joe: Lightning Round Also Joe: explains what the people really saw when the Titanic sank and what the great smog was, even so it's not even part of the question Gotta love the extra input
While I wouldn’t discount the possible existence of a “higher power,” there are some perfectly good counter arguments to the idea. It’s a logical fallacy to say “The odds of the universe being able to support life are a hundred trillion to one. Therefore, it was probably created for us.” If life was unsustainable, we wouldn’t be around to say “See, the universe doesn’t exist for us.” It’s sorta like Joe says, with “multiverse foam.”
Access to the internet for information had a very positive impact on my life and well being. I do not use social media though, the closest thing in the comment sections on UA-cam. I like it here because my brain will eat just about any information it is always hungry and there is just SO much to feed it here.
"...hoocha, hoocha, hoocha...Florida." I lost it. Just haven't laughed that hard at something so little in a while. It just caught me at the right moment.
I think like in computer programming we've developed a number of "hacks" to manage larger tribe sizes. The most obvious one being grouping, where you can care about a group of people of any given size as an abstract concept, but not all the individuals within that group. Also some sort of limited bank switching whereby we can to an extent switch between different tribes at different times.
Also government. Government theoretically allows conflict resolution among disparate groups, a higher authority to settle what is acceptable or not and a way to punish transgressions other than murder. This why both anarchy and communism work perfectly well within groups of limited size where the relationships between everyone are close enough to resemble tribes and most people know each other or are at least familiar with each other. As size of population scales up though, it ends up breaking down without stronger and stronger authority. People are often absolute monsters to those not in their "circle" and without some way to resolve those tensions, it can quickly devolve into minorities being abused. This also circles back around to why politics can be so polarized. People that live in cities lean more left and people in rural areas lean more right because those in cities have to deal with just countless strangers all the time, and they are very aware of the need for justice and mediation to prevent the strong from abusing the weak. In addition, those in rural areas generally only interact with people that are in their circle regularly. They don't see the same need for outside problem-solving because they feel they should be able to handle it "in tribe". Thus governmental restrictions feel onerous and restrictive instead of necessary for the continued function of society.
I can't help agreeing with Michael O and Tinil0 comments. As both a scientist and an SWE, I've been trained to work with abstractions, too-theories and models-but it's known by heart in the sciencing racket that they are only maps, and the map is not the territory. I have noticed that the SWE thinks “by default,” so to say, in nearly the opposite way, and it's natural: the scientist _creates an abstraction out of the thing in the world,_ while the SWE _creates a thing in the world out of an abstraction,_ if we agree, at least operationally, that the piece of software is a _tangible thing_ (I'm convinced it is). But it's an unfortunate cognitive bias to extend this thinking to the worldly things outside of those which the SWE creates. A human tribe or an ape troop is imbued with close, personal, individual relationships, whose intimacy simply doesn't extend to any sizable group. Even the closest blood relatives, like two brothers, may have a spat that the whole tribe or village resolves without any formal law or government by pulling the network of personal connections with other members to approach each of them individually. Such things have been traditionally resolved by intimately talking individuals one-on-one into an agreeable resolution, approaching them individually and differently, based on the specifics of the connection. E.g., simplifying, a respected elder man would talk from the position of being known for his wisdom and fairness and appeal to tradition and reason; but their common sister would from the position of having grown together as a peaceful family, appealing mainly to emotions. It's still common in small remote settlements even in modern fully developed societies, with governments, armies, money and taxes. But talking a _group_ into a change of its opinion is an entirely different art in a different setting, it's essentially public speech before a convention of people. There is absolutely no gradual transition from the close, intimate, personal interaction to this form of communication. This is not to say that the original number of 150 connections (RIM Dunbar, 1992, 1993) is a well-known “constant” and has not been challenged; quite the opposite. One recent study put the number into the range 2‒200, IIRC, with only a 2-sigma confidence (95%), with the main implication that the whole idea of establishing a specific “Dunbar number” is flawed. (I'm not saying that this study itself is without its methodological flaws.) And the phrase “Dunbar number” was coined by an unfortunately famous “populariser“ of science, one Mr. Gladwell, who, in my opinion, invariably puts the actual science the second after literary storytelling. He's very much no Sagan.
Re: Lightoller. Some of the best stuff happened before he went to work for White Star. Went to sea aboard a barque (sailing vessel) at 13 because he didn't want to work in a factory. On his second voyage aboard another square rigger, the ship was damaged in a storm and stopped at Rio de Janeiro for repairs, in the middle of a smallpox epidemic and a revolution. Then he survived the grounding wreck of the ship in the Indian Ocean, also in a storm, rescued and taken to Australia. Came home as crew on a clipper. Third voyage to Calcutta, where he received his 2nd mate's certificate. Serving as 3rd mate aboard another sailing ship, a fire broke out in a cargo of coal, and he was instrumental in putting it out. 1898, went to the Yukon to prospect for gold, followed by working as a cowboy in Alberta, hoboed his way to the east coast of Canada, worked as a cattle wrangler on a cattle boat to get home. After that he worked as mate aboard various White Star liners, on one voyage to Australia he met Sylvia Wilson, married her in Sydney, and took her home. All this before he joined the crew of the Titanic.
There are very few channels I subscribe to that I auto click the like button at the beginning of the video but this is one of them. Lover your content and style, thanks Joe!
I was wondering why Joe was only posting shorts and now I realise that UA-cam is only sending me the shorts, I have to actually go to his UA-cam channel to see the long versions, ive missed 5, (fun to binge though lol) what the heck is going on!
The thing you did right there, "withouth the internet, you wouldn't be seeing me right now" x 2, is the reason why I keep and I'll always keep seeing following this channel :) p.s. I definetely wanna see the video about remote viewing!

To actually answer that question he threw a fit over: Elon taking over Twitter is bringing back actual free speech and civil discourse. He's lifting the veil of government corruption with the Twitter Files and airing all their old dirty laundry. Twitter is actually fun again! Even the not so palatable opinions are seeing the light of day, but sunlight is the best disinfectant. If someone like Joe doesn't like it, there's the echo chamber known as Mastodon.
As someone who has camped many a night far from artificial light sources, you can see fairly well on a moonless night, as long as your eyes are dark adjusted. The stars throw a surprising amount of light, esp the band of the Milky Way.
I had a friend named Freddy Stein who survived Vietnam, a major car wreck, his house burning down with him in it, a serious heroin addiction, being homeless, overdosing multiple times- and then he got killed by a snake. He picked up a small ground rattler in his front yard- which of course immediately bit him on the wrist. We begged him to go to the hospital and so did his wife, but he refused. He died in his sleep that night.
I loved your response to the Twitter question. It also perfectly coincided with my opinion of anyone trying to make any kind of predictions on that. Also, give Fishtail a thanks from me for such a nice sponsor transition. Maybe that can become a tradition of sorts for these videos? Eh, that would require a lot of cooperation from your answerphiles to work, but it made a much better transition than what you're usually attempting.
100% yes do a Remote Viewing video and even take a class to share with us your results! I started looking into it during Covid as a way to pass time and I had genuine results. Freaky topic for sure. There are real indicators that there is a quantum relationship between space and time and consciousness.
Re the Titanic breaking up - I recall the first photos being published in the '80s and there was a lot of surprise that the ship wasn't lying whole on the seabed. In retrospect it should've been obvious but the meme of it lying there, whole, with its chimneys even still upright, was a strong one before that.
Lightoller story reminds me of an Australian soldier whos name escapes me. He was on the first boats at dawn on April 25, 1915. Survived the whole campaign, bullets, freezing cold and disease. Goes to France, survives 3 years there. In 1923, he's relaxing in his home in Australia, his house is broken into and he's shot trying to stop a man steal his new whizbang wireless
I’ve always felt that our inability to see ourselves as a single people will be our great filter. Factoring in the internet , maybe it is a filter but also if we survive that filter it sets us up to hopefully countering what I consider the tribal filter. Guess we will find out. Also thanks for all,you do Joe. Love ya, man.
The only way we can survive as a society where everyone has free speech and a gun, is to keep everybody on drugs to chill them out. Too many humans can't deal with other humans.
I think its the opposite, that incessant urge that some people have to constantly try to see humans as a whole instead of a bunch of individuals is the thing that is doing and has done the MOST damage to our species in over all. That urge to want everyone else to think like you do to the point of force.
@@GiRR007 There is some truth to what you say. It seems like a lot of the mass violence comes from people who think everybody thinks like them, then can't deal with it when they find out otherwise. They can't seem to be self-contained enough, without group identity, to just go on and live their individual life following their own beliefs. But we are in many ways taught and socialized to group ourselves and "be loyal". Religion, nationality, party, race, class, family, etc. give people security in a world with so many different people. Being able to tolerate differences is a pretty modern and sophisticated way to live. Many people just can't quite get there.
I just dont understan why thet reaction... I mean he cant make it worse then it was. It was shit before, and proly will be shit after. Thets why i never made a account on it.
I think that calling what happens through mediums like this "community" is misleading. It's spin that helps 'sell' a narrative. Actual communities contain members that live and work beside each other and yes, tendrils extend widely and link with other communities... So, this may be a nexus for community links, and is also very entertaining, but is not a community per se. Don't forget your neighbours and the people you work with, even if they are not the same people, because being with THOSE people is what most of us are best wired for. (Unless of course you live or work on here. For everyone else, see above.)
Would looove a vid on remote viewing! Had an old co-worker that was ex-military and seriously swore he knew how to do it and they had trained him. I still think he's cray, but I would love something to make me doubt myself at least.
2:02 - I was wondering the whole time whether I was developing another vision issue (I have some visual impairment already) or if they just filmed in the day with a shitty grey filter over the camera lens. I guess it's good to know it was just a cheap work-around to save on production costs.
Just like the Bronze Age collapse, I think this is going to end up being the social media collapse. Hopefully we'll make it through this one, hopefully.
Re: 11:40 -- That, sir, is an OUTSTANDING Wilhelm scream impression. (That scream also pretty much sums up how I've felt about the way social media platforms have been going ever since the frustratingly immediate and practically universal adoption of the endless scroll. Endless scroll was a BAD idea and I will die on that hill.)
Joe, I'm sure that "Say hi to your mom for me" was an innocent reference to the idea of being home for the holidays and seeing mom However, there's another way to take it involving wondering why you would know my mom. Just sayin'.
I would love the remote viewing episode. Especially if you took the class! Maybe we the viewers could engage in such a class, perhaps the same but not necessarily. Might spark interesting conversation as well s content. The differences between the classes etc. I am fascinated by this topic.
The best and worst part of the internet is that you can find anything online. On one hand great things have come from the intermixing of diverse way of thinking about something. On the other hand horrific things have come from people with non diverse and insane ideas.
Tried to pause it at the right spot to see whose face flashed up in the top right corner for a fraction of a second after Joe asks "who created it?" and blinks for a couple of times during the bit about Alpha but failed miserably and there doesn't appear to be anything in the comments about it, who is it?
If the Universe was designed for life, where is all the life? On a few far flung little dots with the rest just dead rocks and gas? On the other hand, if it's just us it seems like an awful waste of space. I think since we're alive and our little biosphere suits us relatively well, we assume the situation was made to cater to us rather than the other way around. There's a name for this...i forget what it is.
I like the idea that we are just lucky enough to be in a universe that supports life. Imagine for a second a black hole is a gateway to another side of our universe or another entirely. All signs we have so far, point to annihilation upon trying to enter. Some other constant could support alternative methods of achieving our concept of "organized" something. Pockets of space where entropy happens to coalesce to atoms that can do work, work to essentially create more localized regions of "ordered" atoms. Things like engines, and energy consumption generally is something everything we consider "intelligent" or possessing agency, seems to need to do. Unfortunately, just like our cosmic horizon, I think seeing those alternatives, is literally impossible.
Future sci-fi uses of "Multiverse Foam:" "If we don't succeed, the entire galaxy will fall into the multiverse foam!" or "If we go faster than the cosmic constant, then we can skip across the multiverse foam." Or better yet, "Hey, you didn't put enough multiverse foam on my latte!"
I'm sure you probably won't see this, but Joe, I think your reaction over Twitter is tied to the other question you answered with tribalism and the Internet. I believe the larger problem we have as humans is the requirement some have to be tied to groups for some personal validation of their feelings. I used to feel this way when watching sports ball, and early in my 20s I realized it was unhealthy for me to get so frustrated. So, do I get emotional about Twitter and Elon, no. I honestly feel the end product in a year or so will be good, but there's a chance it won't and that's okay. I just don't need to attach a lot of emotion to the out come. Just say'n, have a good week and happy turkey day. :)
Tim Dodd (also known as Everyday Astronaut) asked Elon on Twitter about video formats after Elon asked for content creators to come to Twitter. It seems like Elon has some plan to transform Twitter into the social media platform that does it all, but we just need to wait and see what emerges after all the dust settle.
Looking through the comments, I'm realizing that my little joke has been wildly misinterpreted. I honestly don't care about Twitter. I've never been attached to it and if it went away tomorrow I wouldn't mind. It wasn't about Twitter. It was about Elon. When I say I miss the old days, I mean he used to have a much more clear vision and was shaking up the world with it. Today it's a lot more... muddy. It used to require a lot less mental gymnastics to support.
@@joescott Thank you joe for clarifying. I think I speak for a lot of your subscribers when I say we just want that science and a few jokes and to leave the tribalism at the door. Your's and other science channels are some of the last safe places for us to congregate without having to scream about bad "poltiks"
@@joescott why does Elon require support, anyways? He's still shaking up the world, still getting smeared by the media for his efforts... And he seems to have a vision, just... not aligned with expectations of people with strong surface-level sense of empathy.
For the fine tuning arguments, one fact that frequently goes overlooked is that we don't know that there are infinite possibilities for any universal constants. We imagine there are because we think of them as numbers and we apply infinities to numbers. But our only reason there is our own biased association.
The internet could absolutely be a great filter. Look at the hate and divisiveness we are dealing with today. Back in the early 2000s prior to everyone having cell phones and social media, things were much more simple
Would argue that getting to 8 billion people is oddly evidence of the ability to at least have 'others' in our minds. Not as enemies, currently as customers? Gotta start somewhere!
I normally like this channel a lot but God damn that Twitter take was cringy af. Elon getting rid of the ridiculously blatant political bias is only a bad thing for people who can't survive outside of their echochambers
It won't doom humanity. But it will surely doom some individuals. I remember when it became popular around 1995/1998 and it was exiting to have access to that much information and knowledge. The firsts social media were the MSN forums, geocity, yahoo's groups and we had the MSN messenger as well. Websites were simple to build and it was also simple to have one. Good times. To think it was almost 30 years ago is almost frightening.
Actually, about Officer Murdoch’s death on Titanic, there are a few accounts that state that an officer did shoot himself, these being from George Rheims, Peter Daly, Eugene Daly, and Scullion Collins to name a few others, so evidence does point to an officer having shot himself. The problem is with the identity of this officer, as many of the accounts are vague about which one was shot. What’s interesting is that Collins testimony states that “the senior mate, the one next to the captain” shot himself while he was working on Collapsible A with the “Scots officer”. The officer right under the Captain would be Chief Officer Henry Wilde and the “Scots officer” would be First Officer William Murdoch. The evidence points to Chief Officer Wilde having shot himself instead of First Officer Murdoch. Wilde did lose his wife and twin sons before the voyage, so maybe he was just wanted a quick way out instead of having to freeze to death in the water.
My experiments with internet drugs points me to the "multiversal foam" theory. I went for a ride on the wheel of time and caught glimpses of uncountable numbers of universes, each with its own unique physics.
Neil Breen, how could that man NOT be god? Have you seen his computer hacking skills!?!? He doesn't even need the monitors on, HES THAT GUD! He's also a GENIUS! He knows more about quatum physics than all the physicists on the planet combined! These things are all good signs, but what really deifies him to me are his medals that he's collected through the years... He has ALL OF THEM!
@@Pupil0fGod those that understand this reaction perfectly are in one tribe. And those that don't are in another. That's about all I'm going to say on that 😅
Remember my father telling just how bad the London smogs were, his father was a tram driver during it and it sounds like the visibility was pretty much zero.
Point on the darkness around the Titanic: in Upper Egypt virtually away from any electric light sources during nighttime hours, starlight is so bright, sans moon, that you can read a newspaper entirely by said starlight. Billions and billions of bright illuminations beyond the experience of most modern peoples of the West
I didn't see the titanic guy shooting himself as cowardly, but as brave so he can give up his spot on boat or for a life vest and not have anyone worry about caring for him. I thought it was noble
I’m glad to see channel seems to getting back to normal viewership and engagement. I remember you speaking a few months ago about some of the issues the channel has dealing with UA-cam’s algorithms. If this channel goes after I’ve already lost several of my favorite creators over the last 5-6 years then I’m just gonna leave UA-cam. I’ve been an active member on this site for over 13 years at this point and I remain on this platform for educational content and the art community, and it’s sad to see people give accolades and praise influencers over the teachers, artists, and philosophers on this platform.
There’s always ebbs and flows. Thankfully it’s on a good roll right now. But the issues of “style over substance” (for lack of a better term) is true on every media platform. I think that’s just how humanity rolls. It’s up to me to make my “substance” interesting enough to engage with. So I’m doing my best. 🙂

“Multiverse foam” might actually be the best description I’ve ever heard. It makes it very easy to visualize a multiverse when you consider every bubble forming as the foam expands as a separate universe.
Probably is a foam. Wonder if it is also sticky like soap foam or? And are the gods playing around in it or is the universe foam the most sacred material in their 🤷♂️ gigawerse?

Whoa dude.
@@MrGaborKukucska I'm guessing it's more of a latte foam, as the Creator would be sitting back chillin' to the vibe of his latest cool mix.
Thanks for this Joe, the idea of being one of the survivors of the Titanic in the water in the middle of the ocean just became exponentially more terrifying upon realizing that we'd basically be in the pitch darkness. (And yes, I realize this SHOULD have been obvious to begin with.)
So… James Cameron actually went back and edited the sky of the sinking. He got too many messages from astrophysicists saying “So… this is flat out wrong for this latitude at this date at this time. Just saying.” So he freaking FIXED it! Which… kinda trippy!
"We're a tribal species trying to be a global species"
That's something I think about a lot! It feels good to hear someone else talk about it lol
Things were fine before COVID. The world is in a state of tribalism because the media purposely polarised the news and created segregation.
@@RiverReeves23 that's... not even remotely true
Nothing was fine before covid. Might be worse now, idk, but tribalism is human nature. Polarization, segregation, those things have existed for as long as we did
I often quote "in an evolutionary sense, that drives all our emotions, decisions, our society through natural selection, ... we just came out of the forest yesterday"
@@MrGaborKukucska yeee!
We really, really did. It's SO fascinating to look at our normal reality from an "outsider view". This is only the beginning of the global human civilization. Imagine what sorts of things we could do in a thousand years if we don't collapse. Or a million...
Heh, even a million years is such little time for "the universe", yet incomprehensably long for us.
Sad thing though, even in the best possible scenario where we _don't_ annihilate ourselves and develop for millions of years, I'll still be just a little man who won't see any of it :(
And yeah, evolution drives our entire reality. That sucks too! I don't wanna be an animal, I don't want to see a subject reality. Jeez, it's kinda like a prison. Nah, I wish I was a God that sees what is objectively there and thinks logically and lives forever!
I really don't wanna be an animal.
At least I'm doing my best, with my animal brain, to be better than that!

I just want to say that I really appreciate you explaining scientific concepts in a way that a layman can understand. I saw a video where another educator was interviewing other video educators at a video conference and when I saw you appear on the screen, it wasn't like watching an Internet personality, it was like looking at the face of a friend! You're like the kind of person who would join into scientific conversations people are having at a bar or a pub and do calculations on a napkin to try to figure stuff out!
"We're a tribal species trying to be a global species"
Literally just had this convo with someone, lol. They brought up the Fermi Paradox, and asked
"if there's other intelligent life out there, why haven't they visited us?"
To which I proposed
"Might be for the same reason we don't go messing with uncontacted tribes"
I often wonder if maybe we're the equivalent of the Sentinalese tribe on this end of the galaxy. And even aside from that, I find it odd that we assume that an intelligent species of aliens is somehow obligated to interact with us just because they're made aware we're here. If they're out there traveling through space I imagine they've got their own important shit to take care of.
Yeah, you don't try to have a conversation with every ant hill you pass by.
to get to space collonisationand expension a planet need to reach a level of technology which allow for significant space presence before exhausting the finite planet ressource s without trigering environment crisis which are both source of massive confrontation and loss of capability. This will need both generalized fusion power for energy and gathering capability from nearby moons ,asteroid and other planets..
We have been visited by extraterrestrials for centuries and continue to be visited. Read up on Dr. Stephen Greer, you'll be amazed.

This is why globalisation is a bad ideology
The internet is a weird space for humanity to be. I, myself enjoy 90% of what I watch on the internet to be programs like yours, where I can learn new things. Not always super important things. But I'm always wanting to learn more. To me that's most of my fun in life is learning about new things. I still take the time to escape, and watch a couple of Shows and movies. But learning is a lot of fun!
Same here. I enjoy most of what I encounter on the internet, but after so many years, the algorithms know me by now and recommend good channels/sites. I really like learning too, and Joe's channel is educational at times, and at the very least informational.
@@JackieBaisa Once in awhile it recommends something decent still pretty bad though.
knowledge is POWER
@@JackieBaisa I think you have to train it LOL. I try to support the creators I like by enduring the commercials so they'll get their pittance from UA-cam. I zap them out otherwise. Now the algorithm has figured out what kind of channels I will watch the ads in and sends more. At least that seems to be what's happening, maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but they are about money.
Joe's collection of open tabs is so relatable
I love the "Universe was design, or we would not exist" argument.
The serious problem with all arguments like that are the assumptions that no other combination would have produced something akin to life with different rules.
Life exists because it does. Change a few rules, and life as we *know* it would not exist. That does not mean that life of some kind would not exist.
That is what happens when people can not see beyond themselves.
Good point! I keep thinking about the eye as a proof of design and what was said is; much like the toungue and that complicated sense that life is formed around, most things have eyes, and eyes can form very easily. Even if it is very simple eye designs they can be anywhere that the evolved from can seem to grow it. It just finds a way. It isn't like there is a cosmic maker, life just grows until it grows better. No sense in thinking about what hasn't happened because it most certainly did, or we wouldn't be observing it.
I think a good rebuttal to that is like, we have such a narrow minded view of what "life" and consciousness are, because all we know is carbon based lifeform that looks familiar. We may have already found life outside of our solar system (via JWST and whatnot) and just not known the thing we took a picture of was living or conscious.
Also a much better argument to start with, is that if you go back far enough, something came from nothing, at least with our knowledge of how the universe works. BUT the question of if it was designed to work out the way it did by a higher power, that's unprovable, and at the same time not really disprovable. People that get worked up over defending their belief online are missing a much bigger question here: is what I'm saying going to change anybodys mind? At all, even just one person? The answer is almost always no. You won't fundamentally change someone's mind in a youtube comments section, just like you're not gonna be swayed by some idiot commenter. But we're all the idiot commenter when we engage in that kind of discussion. Idk man, just something to think about. Obviously I'm not talking about people calmly discussing theories lol yall know exactly the kind of comment I'm talking about.
"there was no moon that night"
and SUDDENLY you made that horrible event even more horrifying.
Nothing but darkness & stars above, the ice cold black ocean below and wailing (dying) survivors around you.
This is the first generation that can instantly have an answer to any question. Any skill they want to learn, there is usually a tutorial they can watch. I think the Internet is a fantastic boon to humanity.
The other side of this though is "an answer" doesn't mean "the correct answer". Even before the internet there were multiple phrases for how lies are so much faster to spread than the truth.
OK... so I'm usually the last person to recognize blunders in movies... but I could not help but notice how Joe was not wearing glasses when he got up to walk away for the Elon/ Twitter bit but when it cuts to him walking away and throughout the bit he has his glasses on. Then, when he sits down, they are off again! Now, with this being said, Joe, if you see this, it whoever else reads it, it did not in anyway, change the video for me! I love your content and it's way better than mine - I do not have any content! Thank you for the many years of laughter and stimulating content you provide. I have followed your channel for years now!
Maybe the glasses being off-on-off boosts Joe's reference to the 'old days' he misses. He wore glasses in the old days, until he got lasik two years ago.
Man, I felt that scream in my souls!
Hey Joe! Thanks for the mention :)

I hope Joe finds this comment
@@comsot Haha thanks for letting me know about the video, Ben!
So much of this universe is totally hostile to life *AS WE KNOW IT*
Its pretty much hostile to everything, though. Its extremely difficult to imagine a complex anything surviving even the easy stuff like incredible radiation and physical destruction, and if you can, entropy is there to make sure everything is temporary over long enough periods of time.
1/137 makes whatever kind of life exists possible, even if wildly different from our own, because even very different life would presumably still be made of atoms and molecules.
Our galaxy is only a tiny spec in the universe possibly an infinitely small spec. So far there is no possible way to travel between galaxies.
As we know it, the universe seems hostile to life. The bit we know is extremely small.
Oh great it starts with an earthquake
Yes! Please do that video on "remote viewing". I've read lots about it through the years. There's a great book out by the journalist Jon Ronson, called "The Men Who Stare at goats". Quirky title, and a comedic film of the same name was made starring some big names. (No idea what Mr. Ronson thought of the film). I've never seen the movie, but I've read the book twice. Very informative on an off-shoot concept surrounding your hopefully forth-coming treatise-- these were all conceived around the same time. I highly recommend you read this book as an overview to the mindsets involved for these programs.
At the risk of stating the obvious, the clips he used during that section were from the movie! I never saw the movie or read the book, but I am somewhat familiar with the entire story and it's wild.
It's a yes please from me too 🙂
It would be fun if he did a remote viewing-test on the viewers in the video. Asked us what item he had in a closed envelope/box or what was in such and such location and then we would pause the video and do our remote viewing attempt for like 5 minutes. After that we would either see what was in the envelope/box/location in that paused video or in a separate short/video.
In one podcast I used to listen to, they had a guest who had written a book about remote viewing. He did this test on the hosts and I tried it myself as well for fun and I got the shape of the item right. Rest of it not so much 😄
@@lenajesse That would be fun!
@@Tinil0 From what I've seen the book is much better. It is pretty wild, but the book treats it much more seriously than, apparently, the movie. Good read!
Yes! I would adore that!
Anybody from Salt Lake City can relate to the 'killed by smog' scenario. Our air quality during temperature inversions in the winter is unbearable. Like, worst-air-quality-in-the-world unbearable. The mountains create a giant soup bowl of trapped smog until a storm comes through and stirs it up. It's not uncommon to go without sunshine for days, or even weeks, and for the visibility to be two or three hundred yards. (Or meters, if you prefer.)
Your reply to the question about Twitter was gold. 😁
...Atheist-UA-camrs should really be your next stop if you enjoyed this here. The Myth they 'got nothing to say' and/or 'only insult Theists' is wrong, after all.

@@squirlmy we need to start managing water on a continental scale like we manage other resources like gas and oil
Why was his girlish scream over Twitter gold? What did it mean?
Hi Joe, a quick comment about the fine structure constant: if there was no life in our universe, no one would be there to confirm that this constant is not the right one to bring life. The fact that we are here to observe it means there is life, so it has to be the right number. When you buy a lottery ticket and you don’t win, you are there to acknowledge it. In this case, the fact that we won the lottery of life means all the right parameters were aligned. Or else, no one could acknowledge it.
Yeah, that's obviously true. But it doesn't answer the question _why_ the fine structure constant is the way it is.
Of course, if it weren't, I wouldn't be here to ask that question. But the question itself is not inherently tied to my existence, wherefore that also doesn't answer the question either.
@@lonestarr1490 It couldn't be anything else. Just because it's a number and we know of many numbers doesn't mean it could be any other number. Yes I know, it's not really an answer either.
@@TDrudley It is an answer, if by "it couldn't be anything else" you mean there's some fundamental law that forces it to be exactly what it is, and we just don't know of this law, yet.
@@lonestarr1490 This is basically the Anthropic Principle, and what it does is enable random chance to become a viable answer to the "why" question.
The videos he links from pbs spacetime and Arvin Ash go into all of this. It's a whole topic of physics
Two notes: YES do one on remote viewing and since the internet has been invented, we all can be remote viewers
I like the universe evolution theory, where there's a series instead of a multiverse and only the universes that can create new universes win out. In this case it's universes that create black holes.
Agreed, I think it is a hopefully future. When our universe ends its daughter universe's will carry on.
I like the idea that the universe creates itself once it evolves the ability to do so over the eons. Basically life's progeny created the universe at some point in the future, at which point it transcended time and was consistent cyclically with itself.
Just to note, there is absolutely no evidence that we live in a "multi-verse." That is fabricated because there is no possibility for evolution to work. If there is a "multi-verse," the chances of evolution are heightened to infinity. Therefore the chances for evolution are possible. The other possibility/probability is that God exists. Something eternal, who knows everything must exist. Either in the beginning, there was absolutely nothing & yet evolution somehow, over all impossibly can create intelligence, even while all life is moving toward a downward spiral or God is apart from the physical world, & created a world that He is not physically connected too.
Because He created us, & loved us but the ultimate result is death from anything that abuses His perfect order, He became a man in order to pay the price for us all. The only possible way to get in on this deal of life with Him is to call on Him (Romans 10:13).
We can only say, thank you Lord for Your amazing grace for taking our sin.
Thank you Lord Jesus

Gotta love the extra input
I've already been doomed by Joe Scott videos. I placed every single one of his videos in my favorites list and put them on repeat 24/7.
Imagine being so wrapped up in social media that elon taking over twitter causes you that much distress. Sheesh.
the universe was designed so that I could eat peanut butter cookies with much speed
I feel my purpose in life is to eat as much food as possible. Everything I’ve done is in service of this goal.
While I wouldn’t discount the possible existence of a “higher power,” there are some perfectly good counter arguments to the idea.
It’s a logical fallacy to say “The odds of the universe being able to support life are a hundred trillion to one. Therefore, it was probably created for us.” If life was unsustainable, we wouldn’t be around to say “See, the universe doesn’t exist for us.” It’s sorta like Joe says, with “multiverse foam.”
Access to the internet for information had a very positive impact on my life and well being. I do not use social media though, the closest thing in the comment sections on UA-cam. I like it here because my brain will eat just about any information it is always hungry and there is just SO much to feed it here.
Definitely would watch a remote viewing video
"...hoocha, hoocha, hoocha...Florida." I lost it. Just haven't laughed that hard at something so little in a while. It just caught me at the right moment.
I think like in computer programming we've developed a number of "hacks" to manage larger tribe sizes. The most obvious one being grouping, where you can care about a group of people of any given size as an abstract concept, but not all the individuals within that group. Also some sort of limited bank switching whereby we can to an extent switch between different tribes at different times.
Good analogy but we're still a long ways off from any of those hacks being hardwired in.
Also government. Government theoretically allows conflict resolution among disparate groups, a higher authority to settle what is acceptable or not and a way to punish transgressions other than murder. This why both anarchy and communism work perfectly well within groups of limited size where the relationships between everyone are close enough to resemble tribes and most people know each other or are at least familiar with each other. As size of population scales up though, it ends up breaking down without stronger and stronger authority. People are often absolute monsters to those not in their "circle" and without some way to resolve those tensions, it can quickly devolve into minorities being abused.
This also circles back around to why politics can be so polarized. People that live in cities lean more left and people in rural areas lean more right because those in cities have to deal with just countless strangers all the time, and they are very aware of the need for justice and mediation to prevent the strong from abusing the weak. In addition, those in rural areas generally only interact with people that are in their circle regularly. They don't see the same need for outside problem-solving because they feel they should be able to handle it "in tribe". Thus governmental restrictions feel onerous and restrictive instead of necessary for the continued function of society.
I can't help agreeing with Michael O and Tinil0 comments. As both a scientist and an SWE, I've been trained to work with abstractions, too-theories and models-but it's known by heart in the sciencing racket that they are only maps, and the map is not the territory. I have noticed that the SWE thinks “by default,” so to say, in nearly the opposite way, and it's natural: the scientist _creates an abstraction out of the thing in the world,_ while the SWE _creates a thing in the world out of an abstraction,_ if we agree, at least operationally, that the piece of software is a _tangible thing_ (I'm convinced it is). But it's an unfortunate cognitive bias to extend this thinking to the worldly things outside of those which the SWE creates.
A human tribe or an ape troop is imbued with close, personal, individual relationships, whose intimacy simply doesn't extend to any sizable group. Even the closest blood relatives, like two brothers, may have a spat that the whole tribe or village resolves without any formal law or government by pulling the network of personal connections with other members to approach each of them individually. Such things have been traditionally resolved by intimately talking individuals one-on-one into an agreeable resolution, approaching them individually and differently, based on the specifics of the connection. E.g., simplifying, a respected elder man would talk from the position of being known for his wisdom and fairness and appeal to tradition and reason; but their common sister would from the position of having grown together as a peaceful family, appealing mainly to emotions. It's still common in small remote settlements even in modern fully developed societies, with governments, armies, money and taxes. But talking a _group_ into a change of its opinion is an entirely different art in a different setting, it's essentially public speech before a convention of people. There is absolutely no gradual transition from the close, intimate, personal interaction to this form of communication.
This is not to say that the original number of 150 connections (RIM Dunbar, 1992, 1993) is a well-known “constant” and has not been challenged; quite the opposite. One recent study put the number into the range 2‒200, IIRC, with only a 2-sigma confidence (95%), with the main implication that the whole idea of establishing a specific “Dunbar number” is flawed. (I'm not saying that this study itself is without its methodological flaws.) And the phrase “Dunbar number” was coined by an unfortunately famous “populariser“ of science, one Mr. Gladwell, who, in my opinion, invariably puts the actual science the second after literary storytelling. He's very much no Sagan.
It's why the French and English hate each other! And why the Scots hate the English! And why everyone hates Russia!
Re: Lightoller. Some of the best stuff happened before he went to work for White Star. Went to sea aboard a barque (sailing vessel) at 13 because he didn't want to work in a factory. On his second voyage aboard another square rigger, the ship was damaged in a storm and stopped at Rio de Janeiro for repairs, in the middle of a smallpox epidemic and a revolution. Then he survived the grounding wreck of the ship in the Indian Ocean, also in a storm, rescued and taken to Australia. Came home as crew on a clipper. Third voyage to Calcutta, where he received his 2nd mate's certificate. Serving as 3rd mate aboard another sailing ship, a fire broke out in a cargo of coal, and he was instrumental in putting it out. 1898, went to the Yukon to prospect for gold, followed by working as a cowboy in Alberta, hoboed his way to the east coast of Canada, worked as a cattle wrangler on a cattle boat to get home. After that he worked as mate aboard various White Star liners, on one voyage to Australia he met Sylvia Wilson, married her in Sydney, and took her home. All this before he joined the crew of the Titanic.
There are very few channels I subscribe to that I auto click the like button at the beginning of the video but this is one of them. Lover your content and style, thanks Joe!
I was wondering why Joe was only posting shorts and now I realise that UA-cam is only sending me the shorts, I have to actually go to his UA-cam channel to see the long versions, ive missed 5, (fun to binge though lol) what the heck is going on!
UA-cam is kind of forcing people to make shorts to get into the algorithm or something like that I think
The thing you did right there, "withouth the internet, you wouldn't be seeing me right now" x 2, is the reason why I keep and I'll always keep seeing following this channel :)

Joe actually has to go scream a couple times per video but usually cuts it out
To actually answer that question he threw a fit over: Elon taking over Twitter is bringing back actual free speech and civil discourse. He's lifting the veil of government corruption with the Twitter Files and airing all their old dirty laundry. Twitter is actually fun again! Even the not so palatable opinions are seeing the light of day, but sunlight is the best disinfectant. If someone like Joe doesn't like it, there's the echo chamber known as Mastodon.
I did not understand his answer.

As someone who has camped many a night far from artificial light sources, you can see fairly well on a moonless night, as long as your eyes are dark adjusted. The stars throw a surprising amount of light, esp the band of the Milky Way.
Just like all other constants of this reality, the fine structure one doesn't indicate design, it's a hypothesis that has to be established.
Definitely, a remote viewing episode would be great.
I had a friend named Freddy Stein who survived Vietnam, a major car wreck, his house burning down with him in it, a serious heroin addiction, being homeless, overdosing multiple times- and then he got killed by a snake. He picked up a small ground rattler in his front yard- which of course immediately bit him on the wrist. We begged him to go to the hospital and so did his wife, but he refused. He died in his sleep that night.
this is meant to be about life in the universe and now I'm panicking about being on the Titanic in the DARK
Same. The thought of that terrified me. I had no idea it was pitch black!!! Makes it a million times more terrifying
Cold, dark. Ship that was hyped up as unsinkable was now sinking.
2am high notes:
- please do a video on remote viewing.
- multiverse foam was *chefs kiss*
- where did that pope come from?
I loved your response to the Twitter question. It also perfectly coincided with my opinion of anyone trying to make any kind of predictions on that.
Also, give Fishtail a thanks from me for such a nice sponsor transition. Maybe that can become a tradition of sorts for these videos? Eh, that would require a lot of cooperation from your answerphiles to work, but it made a much better transition than what you're usually attempting.
I’ve never even heard of remote viewing so I’d love a video on it!
The thought of Neil Breen being the engineer behind my whole existence is...sort of comforting?
Thank you. Hubs and I did not know who he was by sight and we spent too much time trying to figure it out.
100% yes do a Remote Viewing video and even take a class to share with us your results! I started looking into it during Covid as a way to pass time and I had genuine results. Freaky topic for sure. There are real indicators that there is a quantum relationship between space and time and consciousness.
Re the Titanic breaking up - I recall the first photos being published in the '80s and there was a lot of surprise that the ship wasn't lying whole on the seabed. In retrospect it should've been obvious but the meme of it lying there, whole, with its chimneys even still upright, was a strong one before that.
You should definitely do a video on the remote viewing class, it looks so interesting 🤓
Lightoller story reminds me of an Australian soldier whos name escapes me. He was on the first boats at dawn on April 25, 1915. Survived the whole campaign, bullets, freezing cold and disease. Goes to France, survives 3 years there. In 1923, he's relaxing in his home in Australia, his house is broken into and he's shot trying to stop a man steal his new whizbang wireless
I’ve always felt that our inability to see ourselves as a single people will be our great filter. Factoring in the internet , maybe it is a filter but also if we survive that filter it sets us up to hopefully countering what I consider the tribal filter. Guess we will find out.
Also thanks for all,you do Joe. Love ya, man.
The only way we can survive as a society where everyone has free speech and a gun, is to keep everybody on drugs to chill them out. Too many humans can't deal with other humans.
I think its the opposite, that incessant urge that some people have to constantly try to see humans as a whole instead of a bunch of individuals is the thing that is doing and has done the MOST damage to our species in over all. That urge to want everyone else to think like you do to the point of force.
@@GiRR007 There is some truth to what you say. It seems like a lot of the mass violence comes from people who think everybody thinks like them, then can't deal with it when they find out otherwise. They can't seem to be self-contained enough, without group identity, to just go on and live their individual life following their own beliefs. But we are in many ways taught and socialized to group ourselves and "be loyal". Religion, nationality, party, race, class, family, etc. give people security in a world with so many different people. Being able to tolerate differences is a pretty modern and sophisticated way to live. Many people just can't quite get there.
11:00 "Joe, how do you think Twitter might change with Elon owning it?" I half expected him to show the Titanic scene again 🤣
I just dont understan why thet reaction... I mean he cant make it worse then it was. It was shit before, and proly will be shit after. Thets why i never made a account on it.
I think that calling what happens through mediums like this "community" is misleading. It's spin that helps 'sell' a narrative. Actual communities contain members that live and work beside each other and yes, tendrils extend widely and link with other communities... So, this may be a nexus for community links, and is also very entertaining, but is not a community per se. Don't forget your neighbours and the people you work with, even if they are not the same people, because being with THOSE people is what most of us are best wired for.
(Unless of course you live or work on here. For everyone else, see above.)
I've heard it said before the key to humankind's survival is learning see ourselves in each other and learning to love the stranger.
The question about Elon had me rolling 🤣🤣
I always enjoy your videos Joe
But a segment about the psychedelics would be interesting.
Damn Joe, "Tell me u hate freedom, without telling me you hate freedom"
Would looove a vid on remote viewing! Had an old co-worker that was ex-military and seriously swore he knew how to do it and they had trained him. I still think he's cray, but I would love something to make me doubt myself at least.
2:02 - I was wondering the whole time whether I was developing another vision issue (I have some visual impairment already) or if they just filmed in the day with a shitty grey filter over the camera lens. I guess it's good to know it was just a cheap work-around to save on production costs.
I would love to see a dedicated remote viewing episode! Thanks for the great videos and Happy Thanksgiving!
Excellent content like always 👍
New phrase when someone asks you where something is that you don't know "it's somewhere in the multi-verse foam"
It's all socks and guitar picks up there.
Just like the Bronze Age collapse, I think this is going to end up being the social media collapse. Hopefully we'll make it through this one, hopefully.
Re: 11:40 -- That, sir, is an OUTSTANDING Wilhelm scream impression. (That scream also pretty much sums up how I've felt about the way social media platforms have been going ever since the frustratingly immediate and practically universal adoption of the endless scroll. Endless scroll was a BAD idea and I will die on that hill.)
Joe, I'm sure that "Say hi to your mom for me" was an innocent reference to the idea of being home for the holidays and seeing mom However, there's another way to take it involving wondering why you would know my mom. Just sayin'.
6:32, love seeing other people's browser and their tabs, it's just so fascinating to me, it tells a lot about the person and their habits
I would love the remote viewing episode. Especially if you took the class! Maybe we the viewers could engage in such a class, perhaps the same but not necessarily. Might spark interesting conversation as well s content. The differences between the classes etc. I am fascinated by this topic.
The best and worst part of the internet is that you can find anything online.
On one hand great things have come from the intermixing of diverse way of thinking about something. On the other hand horrific things have come from people with non diverse and insane ideas.
Your reaction to Elon's Twitter made me spit coffee out my nose 🤣🤣🤣
I thought he was going to the bathroom and heave!😂
Tried to pause it at the right spot to see whose face flashed up in the top right corner for a fraction of a second after Joe asks "who created it?" and blinks for a couple of times during the bit about Alpha but failed miserably and there doesn't appear to be anything in the comments about it, who is it?
It’s Neil Breen. Lol
Keanu Reeves as an older person.
If the Universe was designed for life, where is all the life? On a few far flung little dots with the rest just dead rocks and gas?
On the other hand, if it's just us it seems like an awful waste of space.
I think since we're alive and our little biosphere suits us relatively well, we assume the situation was made to cater to us rather than the other way around. There's a name for this...i forget what it is.
I like the idea that we are just lucky enough to be in a universe that supports life. Imagine for a second a black hole is a gateway to another side of our universe or another entirely. All signs we have so far, point to annihilation upon trying to enter. Some other constant could support alternative methods of achieving our concept of "organized" something. Pockets of space where entropy happens to coalesce to atoms that can do work, work to essentially create more localized regions of "ordered" atoms. Things like engines, and energy consumption generally is something everything we consider "intelligent" or possessing agency, seems to need to do. Unfortunately, just like our cosmic horizon, I think seeing those alternatives, is literally impossible.
Glad to see Joe acting like an adult about the whole Twitter affair…
Free speech is bad and a leftist echo chamber is good apparently
I don't think it was his reaction to Elon taking over twitter....I took it as his reaction to another Elon question. I could be wrong 🤷♀️
Future sci-fi uses of "Multiverse Foam:" "If we don't succeed, the entire galaxy will fall into the multiverse foam!" or "If we go faster than the cosmic constant, then we can skip across the multiverse foam." Or better yet, "Hey, you didn't put enough multiverse foam on my latte!"
I'm sure you probably won't see this, but Joe, I think your reaction over Twitter is tied to the other question you answered with tribalism and the Internet. I believe the larger problem we have as humans is the requirement some have to be tied to groups for some personal validation of their feelings. I used to feel this way when watching sports ball, and early in my 20s I realized it was unhealthy for me to get so frustrated. So, do I get emotional about Twitter and Elon, no. I honestly feel the end product in a year or so will be good, but there's a chance it won't and that's okay. I just don't need to attach a lot of emotion to the out come. Just say'n, have a good week and happy turkey day. :)
Tim Dodd (also known as Everyday Astronaut) asked Elon on Twitter about video formats after Elon asked for content creators to come to Twitter. It seems like Elon has some plan to transform Twitter into the social media platform that does it all, but we just need to wait and see what emerges after all the dust settle.
Looking through the comments, I'm realizing that my little joke has been wildly misinterpreted. I honestly don't care about Twitter. I've never been attached to it and if it went away tomorrow I wouldn't mind. It wasn't about Twitter. It was about Elon. When I say I miss the old days, I mean he used to have a much more clear vision and was shaking up the world with it. Today it's a lot more... muddy. It used to require a lot less mental gymnastics to support.
@@joescott Thank you joe for clarifying. I think I speak for a lot of your subscribers when I say we just want that science and a few jokes and to leave the tribalism at the door. Your's and other science channels are some of the last safe places for us to congregate without having to scream about bad "poltiks"
@@joescott why does Elon require support, anyways? He's still shaking up the world, still getting smeared by the media for his efforts... And he seems to have a vision, just... not aligned with expectations of people with strong surface-level sense of empathy.
For the fine tuning arguments, one fact that frequently goes overlooked is that we don't know that there are infinite possibilities for any universal constants. We imagine there are because we think of them as numbers and we apply infinities to numbers. But our only reason there is our own biased association.
The internet could absolutely be a great filter. Look at the hate and divisiveness we are dealing with today. Back in the early 2000s prior to everyone having cell phones and social media, things were much more simple
Would argue that getting to 8 billion people is oddly evidence of the ability to at least have 'others' in our minds. Not as enemies, currently as customers? Gotta start somewhere!
I normally like this channel a lot but God damn that Twitter take was cringy af. Elon getting rid of the ridiculously blatant political bias is only a bad thing for people who can't survive outside of their echochambers
I'm sincerely interested in the Remote Viewing thing. Would LOVE a full video on that. And had to LOL at 11:00.
bad design
too much p2w
It won't doom humanity. But it will surely doom some individuals.
I remember when it became popular around 1995/1998 and it was exiting to have access to that much information and knowledge. The firsts social media were the MSN forums, geocity, yahoo's groups and we had the MSN messenger as well. Websites were simple to build and it was also simple to have one. Good times. To think it was almost 30 years ago is almost frightening.
Of course you need to do a video on remote viewing! That’s so crazy. And, yes, please take the class first. 👍
Joe starting with a question about the Titanic like is it my birthday? One of my favorites topics.
I would like to see a video on remote viewing, but only if you don't get upset lol! Thanks for all the wonderful videos. Peace out
I simply love your channel, interesting and informative. Not to mention your sense of humor 😂 Thank You !
Actually, about Officer Murdoch’s death on Titanic, there are a few accounts that state that an officer did shoot himself, these being from George Rheims, Peter Daly, Eugene Daly, and Scullion Collins to name a few others, so evidence does point to an officer having shot himself.
The problem is with the identity of this officer, as many of the accounts are vague about which one was shot. What’s interesting is that Collins testimony states that “the senior mate, the one next to the captain” shot himself while he was working on Collapsible A with the “Scots officer”. The officer right under the Captain would be Chief Officer Henry Wilde and the “Scots officer” would be First Officer William Murdoch. The evidence points to Chief Officer Wilde having shot himself instead of First Officer Murdoch. Wilde did lose his wife and twin sons before the voyage, so maybe he was just wanted a quick way out instead of having to freeze to death in the water.
The wonderful information in these videos, the reason I watch them, then the Greatest response ever to the Twitter question...
11:40 that was the most genuine scream of terror I have ever heard
My experiments with internet drugs points me to the "multiversal foam" theory. I went for a ride on the wheel of time and caught glimpses of uncountable numbers of universes, each with its own unique physics.
Damn, I’d really want to see the remote viewer video!!!
Neil Breen, how could that man NOT be god? Have you seen his computer hacking skills!?!? He doesn't even need the monitors on, HES THAT GUD! He's also a GENIUS! He knows more about quatum physics than all the physicists on the planet combined! These things are all good signs, but what really deifies him to me are his medals that he's collected through the years... He has ALL OF THEM!
10:50 I mean, a film including Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey, Ewan McGregor and George Clooney was made about it. It deserves a video from you for sure!
Joe puts on glasses to scream
Like a distinguished gentleman
The bit about Twitter has me rolling 🤣🤣 Love you Joe!
I just found it perplexing
@@Pupil0fGod those that understand this reaction perfectly are in one tribe. And those that don't are in another. That's about all I'm going to say on that 😅
Happy to have you as part on my '150'
😎👍
Remember my father telling just how bad the London smogs were, his father was a tram driver during it and it sounds like the visibility was pretty much zero.
Point on the darkness around the Titanic: in Upper Egypt virtually away from any electric light sources during nighttime hours, starlight is so bright, sans moon, that you can read a newspaper entirely by said starlight. Billions and billions of bright illuminations beyond the experience of most modern peoples of the West
I didn't see the titanic guy shooting himself as cowardly, but as brave so he can give up his spot on boat or for a life vest and not have anyone worry about caring for him. I thought it was noble
Sailing his own private vessel into frickin Dunkirk, Lightoller's balls must have had their own gravitational field.
After seeing all of the tabs you have up at once, I don't feel so alone anymore lol.
I used to have more than 5000 tabs open at once (but not all loaded, so the computer doesn't fry!)
So no my friend, you are not alone.
