      Hello, this is from December the 14th, 2020 (during the pandemic of covid - 19). Very curious to see what will have been achieved in 2059. Only in case I will still be alive. Stay positive.

      I really like this :) I may be wrong on this but when talking to a Buddhist friend she mentioned something about how Buddhists often teach that living requires dying - moving from potential to actuality necessarily requires sacrifice (which is opportunity cost in a nutshell I guess). So many people are so afraid of dying that they forget to live..

      ​@@Sh4d0wQu33n Death has the ultimate opportunity cost. think of all the things you could do in life. You'll never be able to finish them all in an average lifetime. But who says it has to be this way? Wouldn't it be better if we could decide for ourselves whether we want to live on? I feel like "living requires dying" tells people to just accept this lying down.
      There is beauty in ephemeral things. That's why I want to see as many as possible without some illness or accident or "old age" cutting it short.

    I just wanted to say thanks.. You really opened my mind, seriously. For example I never thought about how we over-exaggerate times in our lives and just call them the "good ole days" when they may or may not have actually been as good as we make them seem and forget the bad things (or vice versa). Like being a young kid. Sure it was great, no job and stuff, but really so what? As a kid you have to deal with hard homework, mean kids or teachers at school, nightmares, always having to do what older people said, and going to bed early which I hated. But we forget about how bad those things were as if it wasn't serious, because its not serious now. But it was serious to you then as much as the things you worry about now. Never thought about it like that.

    Hey, Michael. Vsauce here. How do we learn language? I mean, obviously through exposure, experience, context, and things like that, but how do actually learn words and what they mean? The only way that we can define words is...with other words. So how did we even learn what a word is to begin with?

      @dev.mahmoudfarargy 5 років тому +22

      Your theory is not true, we do not define a word by other words. The fact that we can define words especially when we first learn them is that we unconsciously used to make an image of every word in our mind to help us understand them, and then they transfer from our short-term memory into our long-term memory as we use them often. For example the word "apple" when we first learned this word, we used to put an image of an apple in our mind to recognize it, and we kept using it very often so it transferred into the long-term memory and became a spontaneous thing to define. Dictionaries contain explanations and paraphrases that help us forming that image more clearly not only to understand nouns but also verbs adjectives and adverbs.. Basically words are defined by usage, Hope that answers your question.

    "Hey Vsauce. Michael here. When will you die?" Damnit! Right when i thought it might be safe to watch Vsauce again without some panic inducing scientific revelation, the first 4 seconds of the video had to fuck that all up.
    Thanks Mike. Thanks (/Sarcasm)

    4:25 I’ve thought about this a lot. I love classic rock, but there was plenty of bad music in the ‘60s and ‘70s.

      Found any good music recently? I recommend songs from, rush Garcia & epic mountain.

    After every Vsauce Video, I see the World in a different way. Thanks for explaining obvious Themes, with a complex Core. That are things, which everybody feels everyday, but never thought about it.
