Author, orator, and all-around ‘science guy’ Bill Nye has been asked a lot of questions in his 30 years on the air. But this time around, Bill gets asked a question almost Biblical in nature: is there such a thing as true free will? Of course, Bill gets right down to the nitty gritty and tells us what exactly is going on in our brains as we begin to make any decision. Is the idea of "choice" real or is choice just an idea in our heads? Are our brains inventing our own answers before we’ve even thought them through? The answer might surprise you. Bill Nye's most recent book is Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BILL NYE:
Bill Nye, scientist, engineer, comedian, author, and inventor, is a man with a mission: to help foster a scientifically literate society, to help people everywhere understand and appreciate the science that makes our world work. Making science entertaining and accessible is something Bill has been doing most of his life.
In Seattle Nye began to combine his love of science with his flair for comedy, when he won the Steve Martin look-alike contest and developed dual careers as an engineer by day and a stand-up comic by night. Nye then quit his day engineering day job and made the transition to a night job as a comedy writer and performer on Seattle’s home-grown ensemble comedy show “Almost Live.” This is where “Bill Nye the Science Guy®” was born. The show appeared before Saturday Night Live and later on Comedy Central, originating at KING-TV, Seattle’s NBC affiliate.
While working on the Science Guy show, Nye won seven national Emmy Awards for writing, performing, and producing. The show won 18 Emmys in five years. In between creating the shows, he wrote five children’s books about science, including his latest title, “Bill Nye’s Great Big Book of Tiny Germs.”
Nye is the host of three currently-running television series. “The 100 Greatest Discoveries” airs on the Science Channel. “The Eyes of Nye” airs on PBS stations across the country.
Bill’s latest project is hosting a show on Planet Green called “Stuff Happens.” It’s about environmentally responsible choices that consumers can make as they go about their day and their shopping. Also, you’ll see Nye in his good-natured rivalry with his neighbor Ed Begley. They compete to see who can save the most energy and produce the smallest carbon footprint. Nye has 4,000 watts of solar power and a solar-boosted hot water system. There’s also the low water use garden and underground watering system. It’s fun for him; he’s an engineer with an energy conservation hobby.
Nye is currently the Executive Director of The Planetary Society, the world’s largest space interest organization.

TRANSCRIPT:
PETE: Hey Bill. It’s Pete from Atlanta, Georgia, and I was wondering if you believe in free will? It feels like the idea of choice is the biggest argument for free will, but is choice real or is it just an idea in our heads? If I look at my life I feel like I’m here through a series of single decisions and it just kind of feels very linear and kind of on a track. But I’m not so sure. What do you think about it? Thanks.
BILL NYE: So is there such a thing as free will? The answer is clearly “it depends what you mean.” So I am so compelled by these tests where they have brain scans going on, working real time, and then the subject is asked to make a choice. And they can see on the brain scan that the choice has already been made before the person is able to articulate it or even watch the choice had been made have it bounce back and forth and then settle on another choice.
This is a wonderful question, but that there is no free will-that, to me, is an extraordinary claim, because I feel that I have made choices - and this might be what you’re driving at-I feel that I have made choices freely based on things that have happened around me, based on the environment and my experiences and my perception of the experiences of others.
So in other words if there really were absolutely no free will could you then predict what every single person in the universe or on Earth is going to do and where he or she will end up. And then furthermore can that not be influenced by some cosmic force or forces that we can’t assess? It could be. It just doesn’t seem reasonable.
I think much more reasonable is: our brains are complicated, and they got t...

This Made Me Dumber...
REDDIT Is LITTERALLY THE WORST Website On The Internet. They Keep Banning Me, When UA-cam Bans Someone From The Comments It's Temporary, But When F.U.C.K.I.N.G REDDIT Does It, It's Eternal Oblivion.
F.U.C.K REDDIT!!!
ITS AWFUL!!!
IT'S TERRIBLE!!!!!
REDDIT ALSO SUPPORTS, ANTITHEIST RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS LITTERALLY THE WORST SITE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
If I Ever Come Across A Reddit Plushies I Would Burn It In Live Camera.
I Would Litterally Burn Down The Reddit Building And Then Litterally EXPLODE If I Get Arrested, I Should Go To Heaven For Destroying Such A Horrible Place.
UA-cam Is The BEST Website Ever When Compared To F'U'C'K'I'N'G Reddit.
I Would Give This ZERO STARS If I Could, Actually Less, NEGATIVE FIVE Stars Is What I Would Give If I Could.
That's How TERRIBLE Reddit Is, It's AN ACCURSED DICTATORSHIP!!!!!!!!!
DISGUSTING!!!
People (The Guests That Make This Show FUCKING POSSIBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!) Call The Atheist Experience Then The Atheist Experience Treats Them Like Crap And Calls Them Stupid.
What A TERRIBLE Way To Treat Their Guests.
You Show No Shame.
You Have NO RIGHT To Call Your Guests Stupid.
The Only Thing These People Are Stupid For Is FUCKING CALLING The Atheist Experience, NOBODY Should Call Such An EVIL Show That Treats Their Guests Like Shit, So If You EVEN DARE To Call These People (YOUR GUESTS) Stupid, Then SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
Religion Improves Lives.
There Are No Victims Of Religion.
I Am Going To Start Off By Saying;
WOW! Okay So Everything You Said Is Ultra Stupid, First, The Truth Is That CONCIOUSNESS Cannot Be Created Or Destroyed, Said So By Physics (Which You CLEARLY Know Nothing About) Second, There Is A GOD But It Never Answers Prayers Or Intervenes In Any Way Because Of What People Did 2020 Years Ago. Third, The 21 Grams Lost When We Die Is The Soul Leaving The Body, And Finally Near Death Experiences Proved That There Is An AfterLife. So You Are Clearly Dumb, Atheists Defys Science Therefore Atheism Is Stupid, Nihilism Defys Physics Therefore It is Stupid.
So Damn Your Ultimate Stupidity And Stop Spreading Satanic Lies And False Information.
Consciousness Comes From The SOUL And NOT The Brain, We Are Spirits That Have A Body And If You Fail To Comprehend The Most Scientific FACTS Then You Are IDIOTIC!!!!!!!!!!
As A Nihilist You Defy Physics And Lie About It Just To Bully People, How Immoral And Stupid Are You?
I Think You Are Just Fucking Scared Of The AfterLife Because You Want To Live In Your Sins😂💥🔫
Without A GOD, You Are A Worthless Peice Of Shit ROFLMAO😂🤣😂🤣
Without An AfterLife, Everything You Do Is Completely Meaningless ROFLMAO 🤣😂🤣😂
Yeah Sure The Brain Damage Can Alter Your Personality, But You Would Still Be Aware, That Is YOU The Soul.
Souls Have Also Been Proven To Sleep And Faint, Which Is Why Near Death Experiences Are Confusing But 100% Real.
THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE YOU FUCKING SHITPISS SCUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes There Is Most Likely A BeforeLife
What Are The Chances Of YOUR Sperm Cell Making It To The Uterus?
1/1000000!
It's Likely That You Were A Sperm Cell That Died Then Became A Sperm Cell That Made It To The Uterus.
Think About It, If Your Sperm Cell Died Then You Would Have Still Been In Oblivion.
There Was Nothing, An Organism Was Born, It Had YOUR Awareness.
It's Likely To Happen After You Die;
Nothing, Organism Born, YOUR AWARENESS!!!! Life.
As A Spiritual Person I Think This Show Is Ectoranium To Ghosts, But You Must Treat Your Guests With Respect! Okay?
Atheists/Nihilists/Antitheists Are LIARS!!
GOD's Ultimate Program Has Been Left Behind.
The AfterLife Has Been Proven To Exist In Near Death Experiences And Out Of Body Experiences.
Ghosts Have Been Seen.
People Remember Past Lives.
Atheists Spread FALSE WITNESS All The Time.
Oblivion Seems Like A Whole Lot Of FICTION!!
Like You Just Escaped The Entire UNIVERSE And All Of EXISTENCE You Escaped SPACE And TIME.
You Escape REALITY!!!!!
So THAT IS TOTAL FICTION!!!!!!!!
The AfterLife Makes A Whole Lot More Sense, Because You STAY In The Universe, Existence, Space And Time, And Reality.
You Atheists Talk About Thinking REAL But The Ironic Thing Is That If You Escape Reality Then That Makes It The FURTHEST Thing Away From Reality.
The AfterLife? Now THAT'S Talking REAL ! Because You ACTUALLY STAY In Reality.
IDIOT!!!
FOOL!!!
BUFFOON!!!!
STOP SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION!!!!!!!!
I do not see any reason to believe this and hell when I was growing up my religion said there was none. JW do not believe in heaven or hell
Where can I ask a question like this? I have a question.
I once asked a monk what will happen to him after he dies. He replied, "I don't know, I've never been dead."
@ً I get what your saying but I think 'bullshit reasons' is very harsh. Many people have witnessed things in loved ones as they passed, many people who have had near death experiences have claimed seeing this or that. This is not even counting Bible or religious beliefs and whats written there. Not 'knowing' what happens after death? sure. 'Bullshit reasons' because they don't want to admit they are wrong? Certainly not the case in many people.
@Cruz your saying there is evidence that ghosts are real but they have been proven to be....not.
@Cruz agreed, I also believe much of it is indeed faked but my point is that there is much we simply do not know and so I dont rule out anything anymore.
The absence of evidence isn't exactly the evidence of absence. We just cant say that there's nothing there because no one has or can find it. Once upon a time, the most brilliant of minds once believed the earth is flat and that the atom was the smallest thing ever. I think that thinks like the afterlife, gods, angels, demons, and ghosts are just too complex for human brain to process and understand even with modern science
Actually, the monk has been dead before! What about all the time before they were born?!
good answer! much respect to Bill Nye
Bill tells it like it is.

MrMac5150 I think shes quoting the conjuring 2 XD
I consider myself a rational person. I cannot absolutely discout the possibility of life after death (or some sort of existence, anyway). The universe is vast and incredibly strange, and the nature of consciousness has not yet been fully accounted for. So, maybe, just maybe, this life is not all there is.
However, I am absolutely sure that anyone who claims to have any knowledge, certainty, evidence or hope of life after death is either a charlatan or has succumbed to (very natural) wishful thinking.
if it's rational to not discount the possibility of life after death, then why isn't it rational to give people to claim to have knowledge of it a chance? (i agree with you but you seemed to contradict yourself there)
3 for 3. I think everyone here has tackled the various epistemological approaches to the afterlife rather sufficiently.
Josh Partridge I'm not saying that we shouldn't give people who claim to have knowledge a chance. We have. Many people throughout many decades have subjected their claims to much scrutiny, and have come up with absolutely zero credible evidence of the truth of their statements. That's where my surety comes from.
However, science has extreme difficulty proving a negative (indeed it is arguably impossible). That is why I say I cannot absolutely discount the possibility of life after death.
***** What exactly are some of the things you're assuming I don't say 'I cannot absolutely discount' about?
Technically I cannot, indeed, absolutely discount the existence of Santa Claus. I can say with an extreme degree of certainty that he does not exist. And, as I suggested in my first comment, I am almost entirely certain that there is no form of existence after death. But I would deem the possibility of existence after death almost infinitely more likely than the existence of Santa Claus. Although these two things are both massively unlikely, there is still an important difference between how we can assess that teeny, tiny likelihood.
The supposition that Santa Claus exists posits a world which is vastly different from the world we apparently inhabit. His existence would overturn our understanding of reality itself, in many different ways.
The supposition that there is existence after death, however, would not necessarily have to overturn quite so much. Yes, it would have to overturn the notion that our consciousness is entirely the product of the physical structure and chemical makeup of our brain. And that's one hell of a big concept to overturn, no doubt. Any attempts to demonstrate otherwise have met with zero success.
But given that the precise nature of consciousness is not known (and may never be known), the concept of existence after death would not have to overturn as much of our knowledge. Is that evidence for its existence? Absolutely not. But it is sufficient for me to say that, yes, it cannot be absolutely discounted.
As a side note, the fact that consciousness seems to be entirely the result of physical structures actually seems to me to not entirely negate the possibility of life after death, and may in fact enhance it. If my consciousness truly is the result of a combination of atoms, electrons, quarks and whatever, arranged in a certain way in a certain pocket of spacetime, then in a manner of speaking I'm already immortal. You can't kill a combination, after all. You can disassemble it, but it can be reassembled too.
Anyhoo, that's just idle speculation.
***** Oh. Well, okay then. I'll just say, then, that regardless of whether 'no one talks like that', I'm just using words precisely.
It stresses me out there is only one life. Like, it's running out and I don't even know what to do. Then I remember we're all in the same boat and it kinda makes me feel better.
hello I'm here with you 😊
man, and I thought bill nye was smart. dude doesn't even know he was a ghost all along.
Damn, he fell for the old Shyamalan twist.
I see dead people.
😁
Perhaps he made a boo-boo.
Wow heavy man!
An open letter to people who use the term, "life energy"....
Energy is not a nebulous word with a mysterious aura surrounding it. Energy is, in fact, objective, quantifiable, and extremely specific. How many joules of "life energy" does it take to power a 15-W light bulb for an hour? Is it more, or less entropic than mechanical energy? Is it conservative, is it potential? Either these all have very specific answers, or you might as well start replacing the term "life energy" with "fairy magic."
There's no doubt in my mind that people will read this and get all defensive, start accusing me of being narrow minded or whatever. But please understand, you're pointing to a mail box and calling it a light house: it would be wrong of me not to inform you of the difference. If what you mean is the spirit, then perhaps it would be best to just say the spirit. This is, of course, entirely up to you. But just know that every time you say "life energy," you're exposing yourself as a science illiterate to everyone around you.
Seems like most agree, seeing as how ppl've liked it
Not if everyone around you is also a science illiterate
REAL Gaming that group of people who all say things like, "if ghosts don't exist then why are some rooms cold? Why are there radio waves in rooms without radios? Science can't explain that. My house creaks and that's how I know my house is haunted" .... -_-
Yes they are many, but they're not on this video, like us: we follow scientific channels and see every of their videos, and very occasionaly we go laugh on religious, new age and conspiracy videos, and obscurantists of all kinds do the same thing the opposide side, so every ideologic video is filled with people of the same kind, so no one will disagree here^^
Amanda Lee Dube I hope this is a joke
When I was 10 years old, I helped my 60 year old neighbor clean her deceased in-law parents’ house. I was upstairs in the back bedroom (by myself) where her father-in-law passed away and I was cleaning the windows with my back towards the door. You know that feeling you get when someone is staring at you? Well I felt that. I’m 23 years old now and I can still remember what that felt like. I quickly turned around and saw no one there. I felt sick to my stomach and freaked out, I ran downstairs and never went back up stairs again. So idk man. Also on the other side of the house (it was an empty townhouse) another lady was cleaning a room and heard a child giggle & smelt old perfume in the basement. Another lady saw curtains move with no breeze
I'm just going to put it this way I believe in the Bible and I believe a higher being made this Earth there has to be a creator for this Earth there is no such thing as a big bang you got to look at the house that is built that you're living in there had to be a Creator right so I believe there is a very powerful creator for this Earth and all the universes that surround it and all the milky way and everything beyond the milky way and I do believe in the holy spirit amen
Barry Keller, I believe in the Bible too.
It was probably a demon you felt watching you
Xander Mohan yeaaa I don’t know about that. I know the feeling you’re describing and this wasn’t it. I was minding my business with my back facing the different direction and cleaning windows. It felt like someone came in the room and was watching me. I wasn’t the only who experienced something there. My mom had a dream about a random man and told my neighbor about what the man looked like. My neighbor found a stack of old photos from the house I cleaned up and my mom saw the same man in the one photo. It was her husbands great grandfather who also died in the house. I am fairly confident that house in haunted.
Xander Mohan also I know the difference between what is real and what isn’t.
Best Bill Nye quote I ever heard was: "What does it mean to be a sceptic? Hey, I'm Bill. Do I believe in ghosts? No. Would I like to see one. Absoluetely, bring it on! But as long es there is no evidence, I reamn sceptical to the idea."
I believe you spelled skeptic wrong, twice 😆
It looks like we got ourselves a spaz boys
Our life energy dissipates into the air. We live in an energy field and we are a satructured, compact mass of energy.
Personally, I'll be happy to fall asleep and not wake up. This life has been a hard struggle.
"Hi my name is Marsalina"
"MARSHA! ..."
What if consciousness is the most fundamental thing of the universe, instead of being an emergent property. Whithin the field we call reality, sentience can emerge, but not consciousness. Consciousness was always there to begin with. That's why no one has ever lost consviousness in this life: Because losing consciousness is not an experience, so you won't experience the time of unconsciousness, meaning you will always be conscious - it's the fundamental thing of reality.
@Fred Fannakapan exactly, he's just talking nonsense because he's afraid of not existing one day, which I agree with that part. It's only natural to want to believe any other alternative besides the fairly obvious reality. I guess that's why I watch videos on this topic. But it's no excuse to make crap up.
People with dementia literally lose counciosness. When its really bad in the later stages they can't even recognize themselves in a mirror. And forget how to do simple things like put on a t shirt.
@Fred Fannakapan But did you experience the loss of consciousness while you were unconscious? If not, then that's my point: you can't experience the time of unconsciousness, and if you did experience it, then you weren't unconscious. Point being that consciousness for you is a continuous and eternal property that is the only thing that doesn't change: only the space of it, or the content of consciousness changes, and whatever that content is you have no way of telling for sure whether it's real or not. What you and a lot of people must really mean when talking about "loss of consciousness" is merely the mind shutting off, not working, or losing its memory, but neither of the properties related to that, which roughly speaking makes up the psychology and accumulated, but impermanent mind patterns, are what we could call pure consciousness, or awareness.

I don't like talking to religious people about the afterlife because they're just gonna try and make you believe what they believe and judge you for not being part of their religion. People like Bill Nye and Steven Hawking just try to be realistic about it. They give you the hard truth that there most likely isn't an afterlife. And they give you scientific. reasoning and research.
Explain the footsteps my family heard upstairs (straight up and down footsteps not little creaks), the doors SLAMMING behind my brother when everyone else is asleep, My dog barking and chasing air, my mom hearing banging on the door of her room in the middle of the night and my little sister heard it to (we have a security system so there is a camera outside her door,nobody was in the house), the light turning on by itself (PHYSICALLY PUSHING ITSELF ON) when we were talking about spirits, my brother seeing something that looked like a women going up our stairs one night, my sister crying and screaming saying she saw SOMEONE on the couch one morning(nothing was there). I believe that's paranormal we have cameras in our house there is no intruder in the footage.
Explain spirit boxes aswell
You don't only have cameras in your house, you also have stupidity. Congratulations!
A spirit box sweeps through different frequencies picking up random chunks of audio from broadcast, and other radio stations.
Google infrasound and it's effect on humans.
those are demons my friend...I experienced almost the same things that you said....they played with Ouija board and demons didnt leave that house.........I believe the demons, angels, satan, God creator all of them are real, I believe the Bible
God's Child Can't salt and sage also help with that stuff?
Bill Nye is really cool. Seems like a good person too I like how he answered their question with compassion and didn't make fun and yes, if this is all we get then we should make the most of it and love our family and try to help each other even if we are not related.
If this is all we get ? Then what difference does anything make ? We may as well live like animals and do whatever we want. I believe we have morality for a reason, and that's 1 of the reasons I believe in God
@@GTSN38we are animals
@Legend-mg2ry I'm not an animal, I'm a man. If you want to pretend you're an animal, then go ahead, but you are still subject to the rules and laws of mankind.
I’m now more convinced than ever that Bill Nye is the reincarnation of Houdini
Ohhh good one!
And Richard Dawkins Is The Reincarnation Of Charles Darwin.
You just can't escape it eh?
Lol
lmao they would be so pissed if you said that in front of these men....who dont believe in reincarnation
"NOBODY KNOWS" haha I love when he yells that
I find you to be a very intelligent and reasonable man. With that said however, i can assure everyone there is a lot more then just this reality/ realm/ life we are currently in. Not from a book, not from someone else told me but from my own experiences in life.
Im not going to claim that i know whats after life because that i dont know. All i do know is that there is more then math, senses and patterns can prove.
I also find most people on this world also living their lives to the minimum of their potentials, which is the biggest crime of it all.
I'd love to see Bill go into a "haunted" location, see if he can catch something and dissect the video and audio. Do it as a entertaining show for charity and as a scientific experiment, win-win.
Pointless as he thinks anything that doesn't have a rational explanation is just imagination, even though it all does. There is nothing new under the sun. Literally everything has an explanation you just might not know what it is. People have been having obe's since forever, that alone proves we aren't limited to our physical bodies. So called scientists like him aren't real scientists, they are paid shills. A real scientist knows that science is always changing and that anything is possible. Ignaz Semmelweis for example, knew hand washing and washing instruments saved lives but he was put in a mental institution where he died.
He said he did that. Lots of scientists have tried it and no ghosts. And anything can be done to make a creepy video. Since there's no agreed criteria for what even IS a ghost, anyone can say anything is a ghost.

Idk man I've seen ghosts
read my story I just posted.
I've seen Santa
@@semsamsis9939 A Mall Santa!
Santa Dosen't Exist, YET!
But Santa Could Exist Like This:
As A Business, It Would Be Open In The Entire Month Of December.
Parents Would Order Toys From The North Pole.
The Workshop Would Be A Factory With Workers Dressed In Elf Uniforms And Have GREAT Working Conditions.
There Would Be Thousands Of Sleighs In The Sky (Which Would Obviously Be Cargo Helicopters And Airplanes Because A Flying Sleigh Is Impossible)
The Delivery Workers Would Dress Like Santa. They Would Drop Off Toys At Your DOORSTEP. The Business Would Be GREAT, You Could Order ANYTHING!!!
It Would Be Like Amazon But 100X Better.
But It Would NOT Be Free, You Would Have To Pay A LOT Of Money, But It Would Be Worth It.
I Wish That Santa Existed.
Houdini cannot escape God’s power. Invalid argument Bill.
Of course
Lol, which God? There are thousands.
i figure if there is life after death, its more of a buddhist philosophy kind of thing where you just become pure energy and join the collective unconscious
Basically, no afterlife then?
Yeah I think it's pretty safe to say the dead are unconscious. 🙄 No offense to you personally but that teaching has always been stupid to me.
No, life after death if I’m either 2 ways. Heaven. Or Hell. It says in the end times there will be a falling away(people falling away from God). Notice how when time goes on it’s so hard to find a believer of Christ. Because what’s happening is exactly what the Bible is prophesying. I hope you will realize and turn to Christ before the Day of Christ is at hand.
@@walkingwithoursavior5742 Christianity is mythology, and has no connections to actual scientific theory. The bible was written by over a dozen people over a period of 1000 years that has been translated into dozens of languages and has been altered, rewritten, changed and had portions removed many times. Not only that but it was originally written in now dead languages so we have no idea if it even remotely resembles what it originally said. There is no valuable information to be gained from it for this reason and religion has no place in the modern world
@@Clarkkent163 not necessarily. It's a form of an afterlife because part of you is still living on after your physical body has died. It occupies a middle ground philosophically. Its not nothing like an atheist would believe but its also not something so fantastical as "paradise" or "hell" like a standard religion would believe either. Its more like your consciousness lives on and becomes part of the greater consciousness of everything thats ever lived or died.
I thought this too until I and 5 of my (adult, sane, sober) friends saw things in my house moving on their own. Several times. It wasn't the wind. If Bill can tell me WHAT would convince him, that would be interesting. We have photos, videos, recordings...but of course nobody will believe them because they were not there. There is NO WAY to convince someone unless it happens to them. And unfortunately, ghost appearances do not have a schedule. I do invite Bill Nye to stay in Julia's Room at La Posada in Santa Fe. He might change his mind.
Science has a tendency to deny things they can simply not confirm. It’s quite disappointing.
Without evidence, I think it would be most likely that people staying in such a place are having delusions by the power of suggestion, several nights without sleep and perhaps by poor indoor air quality like carbon monoxide poisoning and other pollutants from the gas stove or oil furnace, (now that a lot fewer people smoke indoors). As Carl Sagan said of supposed alien abduction reports, something might be happening, but it may be happening in the mind.
With video evidence the greatest likelihood is someone pulling a prank, or lying.
Finally, those promoting the idea of ghosts, it's up to them to prove it, not scientists to disprove it. For instance, if you record objects moving, seemingly of their own accord, what is the mechanism for that? Scientists can go out to the desert flatland to figure out how stones seem to be moving of their own accord and consider ice forming under them and measuring the wind. People don't just say, "It must be ghosts who like to move stones around."
I'd like to see a show with Bill and maybe a few other science buddies investigating haunted houses and various paranormal activity.
They'll soon realise that saying shit such as ghosts aren't real will not work well when haunted houses and shit 💀💀
@@Clarkkent163 Reddit is full of stories and videos.
Come on, it's so easy to verify : visit those god-damn houses, dammit !
All science can do is to give some psychological arguments of why you'd imagine that.
Or simply tell you, "science doesn't waste time on irrelevant things such as ghosts".
As much I love Bill Nye's little opening for a probability of an afterlife existing (as he said at the end of this video), I doubt the research on haunted houses he talked about was serious. You'd fine articles in scientific magazines for that, but nothing of that to be found.
Yassss
@@alexale5488 Before I read _The Demon-Haunted World_ by Carl Sagan, I used to think that there should be more scientific funding to investigate things like ghosts, aliens and the "paranormal." Many people want these things to be real.
One of my takeaways is that scientists would have to bring with them slight-of-hand artists like Penn and Teller, because there's a lot of fraud and chicanery in convincing people for instance that a house is haunted, or crop circles are not man-made.
Another is that it's up to those who make extraordinary claims (e.g. "I saw Bigfoot") to prove that what they're saying is real, not for scientists to run around disproving every lie, delusion, or "unexplained phenomenon," that people come up with.
@@alexale5488I’ve been to a few haunted houses and nothing happened

But I totally respect bill nye
Fact.....they are real....
I have heard the voices of spirits, but i understand, that no i can not prove it to anyone that they exist nor do i need to, i have my answer. Do the work yourself, don't be so surprised when they communicate.. good luck

Im Swedish. 48 yr old man and I moved to an island in Thailand 7 years ago and I've been living in 2 haunted houses. Live in one now. I'm not joking. Can't say exact but all Thai people, about 20-30 people say they've seen ghosts right in my homes. Men, women and children. But... I haven't. Probably because they don't exist. Have a Muslim family grave about 10 meters from my room. 7 dead people and I must say that they're very good and quiet neighbours. Ghosts exist in your imagination. On the other hand... Have had 8 cobras in my bedroom during my stay in koh lanta. That my friends, ghostly or living friends, are scary
Love Bill Nye and I think he possesses one of the most intelligent minds the on this earth. I would like to share a personal experience though that made me question the possibility of an afterlife. Back in 2006 I was 20 years old and I was visiting a new friends house for the first time. I had no prior knowledge of the home other than the fact it was 114 years old and built in the old South. I had been in many houses that were old and never had any odd experiences; however, I experienced something I will never forget that day. I was talking to my friend and her mom in their living room and I kept getting this overwhelming feeling of someone watching me and I kept seeing a shadow move in the back room about 30 feet away . I was completely sober and in no way stoned or drunk. After he third time I saw a man appearing in the corner where the shadow had been moving. I looked briefly and saw he had a suit and had the blackest eyes. I didn't hang around. I just simply walked out the door. The girl came out to my car and said "you saw him didn't you?" I told her I definitely saw something and she got a picture from her house of the SAME MAN I saw . Apparently he had been murdered in the 1940s but some said suicide. She said, he appeared almost every night at 9 but would make his presence known when new people came. I just don't know how to explain it. I do believe in God and even though I don't know what waits I do believe there is something in the afterlife and that somehow our consciousness continues. If matter is neither created of destroyed, I wonder where our energy goes. If we do indeed have a soul, is it completely separate and does our energy manifest itself into apparations? I would love any thoughts or similar experiences.
I was 23 in 2009 when I experienced a ghost-like being in my house (which was only 7 years, but in the South so who knows what it might’ve been (a starving, runaway slave?)).
My dad would wake up at 4.30 every morning to go to work and anyone who happened to be awake around the same time could hear him yelling about all the cupboards in the kitchen being open (we had those plastic locks that were supposed to prevent them from being opened (we had a cat who craved Doritos and bread)).
Anyways, I was up late studying when I heard some noises from the kitchen. Considering it was almost 2 a.m. I thought it was strange enough to go check it out. From the top of the stairs I could see the kitchen. The lights were off, but I could hear noises (the wheels of the drawers and the opening of cupboard doors). I said: ‘Hello?’ And immediately the air got sucked out from where I was standing and all of the cupboards and drawers shut creating a loud bang. I basically said: ‘WTF?’ the second before an apparition began running up the stairs towards me, charging with its mouth open. As soon as it reached me the hairs on my neck and arms stood up and I ran back to my room and jumped under the bed covers. Once I calmed down I walked downstairs to find my mom in the kitchen. Apparently she had been woken up by the sound that preceded the ghost’s charge. She asked, ‘What was that?’ ‘A ghost.’ ‘Again?’ Then she went back to bed.
Jeffrey Horton your story reminded me of this experience.
lmao this guy's words are cute! there's no afterlife cuz Houdini did not come back. Great evidence science guy!
"one minute I was doing X and the next minute I was in the hospital... NOTHING INBETWEEN" that's what people I know who have died brought and back by Dr.'s and EMT's told me.....
That's so funny, my father in-law said he would give my husband some sort of sign after he died. Guess what? No sign, so no afterlife he claims!
@@curtismason4932 Not a single one!!!
@@curtismason4932 Because when you die you are dead you don't exist for awhile.
That is until God resurrects you.
The bible does not say you have a soul but you are a soul.
But their is an after life.
It kinda work's like this the soul is made up of the physical body and the breath of life you have.
Once you die the breath returns to God your body returns to dust.
That breath of life contains all the info about you.
But without a physical body it's useles.
So apart of you still exist but on it's own it can not feel see or observe anything.
When you are resurrected you have a new glorified body with that same life essence in it.
@@savedmysoul1, and what about those of us that do have signs are we just stupid like this fake scientist wants to say while mocking us.
I belive in a God and an afterlife but I have no hate against non believers. The reason why I belive is because of how lucky we are to even be alive
we have a soul like no other we know, god is good
kram c.m if one allow mass murder one is not good.
Why?
kram c.m ehhh… that made no sense.
+kram c.m Ah your a troll, I see.
Bye bye.
I don’t think he fully answers the question here. The question really seems to be “is there an energy carried from you when you die?” And saying that there is no fairytale afterlife “where you are young again and can play rugby” isn’t a great answer. If there were such thing as an afterlife I would think it would take a much different form from the physical body that we currently have. An energy of some form that continues into another realm. But I’m not arguing either way.
"I don't know" would have been best....
Because in reality that's the truth. Even if you don't believe in any religion, there's to much we haven't discovered in science to rule out the existence of God or the afterlife
@Anthony Weber no one can out rule the existence of God, that’s just foolish
Bill nye : there is no ghost!
Casper : hold my cemetery..
"Wherever we go when we die can't be that bad. Nobody comes back."
In chalk if up to Newton's Flaming Lazer Sword.
Bill if you ever get this message. I was once a skeptic, but I actually out forth the effort to really investigate ghost's. Bill myself and my son's 15 took my Sony recorder / mic . We went to a very old cemetery and out in the recorder and asked several respectful questions. Now again it's myself and my son and it's 12:30 am, nobody around for a couple of miles. I asked a question at the grave sight of the caretaker who basically developed and was influential in opening the old cemetery. I asked hint in front of his grave a question about the cemetery that I couldn't figure out. Nobody could, it was about a bug miseleum at the front of the cemetery that was completely walked off with large stones and cement. I asked the dead caretaker if he could please tell me what that moseleum was used for. I received a crystal clear answer in my recorder that was spoken directly in the mic because it was so clear and loud. In a deep well spoken voice he clearly said " it was used to photograph the dead , it was a very beautiful place for families to photograph there dead ". That was all he would say. Now Bill we were the only 2 people in the cemetery at 12:30 am in the morning and that means voice was spoken into my mic that I was holding in my hand 1 foot in front of me. Since then I've accumulated over 200 EVO's . Here's my offer give me 1 hour if your time and go to that cemetery with me and I am 100 percent possitive by the end of that hour you will hear and see things that even you could not explain baway by science. I have to say this day and age someone as smart as you can just right off something that is so very simple to prove. If Bill Bye is alone in a cemetery with a recorder and gets direct answers through his recorder that are loud clear and intelligent answers to 10 out if 10 questions you ask and your 100 percent alone, How could you refute that evidence. Until you let someone like myself to price this to you, please keep an open mind and stop giving people absolutely wrong answers that look to you for the true answers. My offer stand Bill and if I'm wrong I will now your lawn wash your car clean your house, basically do whatever you want me to do for an entire year, and if imy right all you have to do is just tell someone that asks the question are ghost's real simply say I never thought they were real, but I've heard or have seen things that I couldn't explain away by science. For $25.00 to buy a decent electronic recorder and a short amount of time, this question could be answered. Shame in you Bill if you don't even try this, because the answer is right in front of you and you have an obligation to give people correct answers. Sorry for the long message but I go have a lot of respect for you, but that respect is staying on the back burner until I read it see to hat you at least made the small effort. I hope you try and price me wrong and if you don't well I believe that deep down you know spirits exist but are afraid that your science buddies will make fun if you.👍👻👻
Go to a battlefield (I went to Gettysburg) take out your phone and start recording audio (video works to) ask questions (like what side did you fight on etc) you will plain as day get responses by voices. It spooked the hell out of me that for 3 days straight we had intelligent responses to our questions all on recording. Still doesn’t answer what happens after death but if bill says ghost don’t exist and that there isn’t scientific evidence, then I’m just gonna be spooked for the rest of my life cause something 100% exist out on those battlefield and they invisible.
Well, he believed in the vaccine.
I'm more of a fact and science guy. But when it comes to paranormal activities like ghosts, I believe them because my family experienced it first hand. Although we didn't see an actual ghost we experienced paranormal happening like blood magically appearing on the floor out of nowhere and duck footprints on the wall going to the ceiling. My sister screaming in the bathroom for someone ti open the door, we were just a few feet away but we did not hear her.
So if you ask me if I believe in ghost, I will answer yes. I think they are there we just could not see them. Perhaps in the future when we have the technology to see them, then people will believe.
And yes I believe in God too just not the religions nowadays. Religions are used to manipulate people nowadays.
You are absolutely right Ghosts are real and God is there too.
Yep I have too many experiences myself to chalk up to just you know explainable situations. Why I have a strong dislike for this fake scientist. He wants to mock us by implying we are stupid for believing but yet I want to see how he explain a light having to be switched off twice.
This is the last unexplainable evidence I have personally experienced. In cleaning out my grandmothers house getting it ready for the new people after it sold about 2 years after her passing, we went in Saturday to clean up we went through everything upstairs at end of the day we switched the lights off and went home. Sunday I am the first one to walk in since Saturday and the light on the stairwell upstairs is on. There is a switch at the top of the stairs as well as one in the kitchen to switch that light on and off. I walk to the kitchen switch the light off downstairs and look and see the light is off. We are in the living room going through more papers and I take a box of papers out to the car to take home to shread. Upon coming back in that stairwell light is on again and the light switch is still in the same position in the kitchen as I put it at when I switched it off. I asked if anyone went upstairs while I was outside not more than 5 minutes max. No one went upstairs as we were done. I flipped the light switch back in the position it was in when I got in to switch it off.
Now I like to see how this mocking fake scientist would explain a physical experience like that with science. I also like to see how he would explain my physical experiences of finding soft white feathers, the small ones that I keep finding in areas that they can never be in. I found no fewer than 50 of them in the last 5 years in places they could never naturally have fallen. Ive found numerous in the glove box of my grandfathers old car that I brought home from my grandmothers house when we cleaned it all up. The feathers started appearing in the glove box after I got the car running again. Lets see mr fake scientist explain that away.
If people don't want to believe in ghosts and entities that is fine. but there is no reason to be a piece of shit and mock those of us that have experienced things that science that explain and then sit there and act like science hasn't proven it. Yea science hasn't proven the existence of aliens either but yet science also says that aliens not existing in the universe is impossible due to its sheer size.
My name is Zak Bagans. I've never believed in ghosts until I came face to face with one. So I set out on a quest to capture what I once saw onto video....With no big camera crews following us around, I am joined only by my fellow investigator Nick Groff and our equipment tech Aaron Goodwin. The three of us will travel to the some of most highly active paranormal locations, where we will spend an entire night, being locked down from dusk until dawn....Raw...Extreme...These are our Ghost Adventures.
Does anyone believe in an afterlife without a spirit. I mean we came here when we were born and just before that a few years before we were born we were nothing so if it happen once how can you not believe it will happen again during eternity. I believe you go back to that place before you are born that nothingness and it will be destiny to be something again. What do yall think?
I find it hilarious that Bill calls her Marsha.
It's not true, I've been fortunate to have seen 3 ghosts in my life. The first one aged four & no concept of ghosts at that age. I know what I seen in the 60s. Another in 1992. Once met a bloke who spoked in the same way, I was mocked. Then some yrs later, he admitted seeing something he couldn't beleive that he'd seen. There's more to heaven & earth than we know.
Please please people, Don't take Bill Nye's words as your answers, It saddens me that its taken me 2 years to find this video. I have had lots of solid proofs personally and will not is guide you. First of all i will answer the the question from the lady and her son, Ghost don't necessarily mean someone who died. Its merely a moment that is picked up of an event that once happened. also you ask about the afterlife: well i do know your ancestors can watch over us until they see you right, and then pass on. I have personal proof with evidence to back them up. Also i have a memory of a life before this one. and how and where i died. maybe that answers your question. Life needs us all, it recycles and re-uses, The soul is the thing that keeps us safe and protects us through to the next. look at a robot for example, it can copy and do what we do, but will not have the part that makes us who we are. Our body is like a car, or computer, when things get intense our heads overheat, we process things so fast. and some people can cope and others can't, all depends on the DNA body suit they drive. sometime we upgrade our minds with coffee or slow it down with booze and drugs. when our body breaks down, we get reduced down to an atomic level and become used again.
personal proof isnt solid proof asshole. yeah i agree see a fucking doctor
Dr. Bill nye, what do you think about quantum consciousness or quantum psychology and its correlation with mind science which could possibly be a clue to spiritual world??? How do you think about the measurement in double slit experiment? Feynmann once said in his lecture note that observer's consciouness or will to measure specific physical quantity if you will seems to influence the outcome of the behavior of electron. This means the particle as a smallest unit of all matter ,that is building block for material, is influenced by observer's consiousness. How do you view on Feynmann's view? Do you think this is completely irrelevent to potentially explaining other world, like sprititual world?
So...do we just see darkness for the rest of our lives? Is it like when we are sleeping but with no dreams? Even if you think not (I hope not) we don’t truly know what happens.
James Allen -
We don't see anything. Experiencing darkness (nothing visible) is still an experience. After death we probably won't experience anything because we no longer exist. We won't see, hear, smell, touch, feel or think anything. It'll be exactly like dreamless sleep, but permanent.
@Sakura the Espeon
But by your own rationale, god gave your dog cancer in the first place. Please explain why god would do this.
I'm sorry about your dog. I lost a 19 year old cat earlier this year. I miss him terribly, but I'm not so deluded to believe I'll ever see him again. He's just gone the way all of us eventually will be.
Sakura the Espeon I am also very very sorry for you losing both of your dogs, hopefully you are ok now. And I do think your dogs are in heaven god has taken them to a better place now!
Allen koslowski why so harsh?
@@ManicG78
OK, I was really harsh, but Sakura derided Nye as a liar when all he did was explain in rational, calm terms why afterlife is highly implausible.
I suspect Sakura is so upset because he knows Nye is probably right and just doesn't want to accept the intrinsically finite nature of life. I suppose I could just let him have his fantasy, but delusional thinking rarely works out well for anyone in the long run.
I personally think your life energy doesn't disappear, but just goes into other shit
what do you mean by "life energy"?
Energy that you consume to survive.
Many thousands of calories are still stored in the body after you die, these are either burnt (cremation) or they return to the Earth, maggots, worms, plant life etc when you're buried.
the energy of you life MrDnB89 lol...energy never disappears..it only transforms... into other places/things ...when you die the body goes back into the ground where it is consumed by insects etc and passed on for ever through the life cycle...the mind though..the consciousness...may actually go back into the "o" that being Eternity...you know our existence is a "10" right..?
Olly Barnes With you on the first part 100% but then you make a huge assertion with absolutely zero evidence to support any aspect of it.
Making shit up isn't going to cut it, especially on a science orientated video.
im not making it up...its in all our faces....10 ...can i some how send you a thing i did in paint..its very simple and i will show you how its not madness lol
I love Bill Nye but I must disagree...i was never a Christian or any religious background...but we moved into a house that was effected but spirits..running on the roof, putting lights on, throwing glass vases and slamming doors when the room gets cold and sometimes this happened at 19:30....i was 28 and not affraid at the damn dark...that shit is real. We all lost out jobs and lost everything and all went bad. Got a priest in and it all lifted...
Am telling y'all my grampa died of old age and we took a family picture and my grampa was there his spirit was there in full body
Go to the conjuring house overnight and say that.
I just can't fathom not having consciousness after death. I know I didn't have it before I was born but now that I am a mind inside a body I just love the mystery of where my consciousness will go after I die.

If our body is run by energy and energy cannot be created or destroyed then where does that energy go
Science can’t explain someone seeing a vision of a girl, that person not tell anyone about it, then that person’s son describe that exact vision to them.
I saw a ghost on Archangel Feast Day who ho left a Morse code EVP message in the recorder.
The code is my date of baptism, age and home address. Pi, Phi Febinacci and more.
Dr. Ian Stevenson, at Virginia university on study after life, factory lock code is the same numbers in this Ghost Comm ITC code.
His arguments here are not sound.
1. Houdini didn’t come back to tell his secret word so therefore we definitely know there’s no afterlife. Lol wut.
2. Because me and my science buddies can’t really find any evidence of an afterlife through examining research not of our own, then obviously the afterlife doesn’t exist.
Bill Nye is a smart guy, but he should probably sit this one out before confidently saying there’s no afterlife with arguments like that.
Just because you never saw some "thing", it doesn't mean that "thing" doesn't exist. Yes this is for Mr. Nye and his followers.
Why would they present themselves to you, Bill? They know who you are. They know that if people like you had personal experiences & based your beliefs on them (like most people do), you'd of responded here with a yes. Which blows their cover because I feel that if they want to interact with the 3rd dimension, they musten interfere with the cause & effects of the everyday life in most of all humans experience. Because they have the knowledge on what it truly takes to make consciousness (&its not physical) & we masses of people sought out the truth from them, the whole system that we have set up here now will crash & fail. Once we realize who we really are.
Yeah. Just close the window...except when there is no window, and no candle.
Wake up to feeling my blanket get pulled down. Pull it back up and try to sleep. Feel the heavy quilt get ripped off me and thrown across the room. My friend had died kind of recent so I ask " is that you Audrey?" Voice in the darkness " NO!" in a voice that sounds like it's coming from a distorted radio broadcast..
Multiple people witnessed the shadow person on my stairs. It would run up at you most of the time. Once I saw it just standing there and another running down the other stair case. Was like a real life jump scare.
Went to find my cordless phone and sitting where my grandpa sat I see a guy all dress in white but when I look again he's gone. I say to my friend guess what I just saw. Well he interrupts me and says I saw a ghost in your hallway all dressed in white same as i did. Its like he got up and followed me to my room where my friend saw him.
Heard boot steps at work with a coworker. Saw entire groups of metal waying hundreds of pounds just slide across the wall. Got an app that is supposed to let you talk to ghosts. Asked it who was in the room and it went through and named everyone. One kept complaining his arm hurt and said he got his arm stuck in a machine. Also said do you want to piss me off, I will grab my gun. Asked me by name to stay with them. I had like 6 people around listening to this app and everyone got freaked out by it. It seemed too real with what it would say.
My dog is convinced that he is a ghost.
I can see this pissing people off, but he left room for the possibility. That's cool of him, respectable. Based on the evidence, he's saying he's 99.9% sure.
I agree ....this is it. Whether or not you agree with Bill, I say live as best you can just in case this really is all we get. Be kind. Find a way to survive and be happy when you can. Do no harm, take no shit. Now I'm gonna go continue trying to practice what I preach 😆
Exactly the reason why you need to live in the moment because this is all there is so make it count. Believing in an afterlife simply gives you a false sense of security.
they have not done "science" into unknown creatures, ghosts, unusual experiences.
They actually have, but there's still to much unknown mythical things to say it doesn't exist
According to who?
@@anthonyweber4986 What? You don't assume something exists without evidence, then switch the burden of proof.
Can't I easily say that Santa Claus might still exist, because we haven't found enough proof to deny him? If I'm making a claim that there is a Santa Claus, I have to prove the positive because you cannot prove a negative.
if ghosts dont exist what was this human figure that looked just like my great aunts friend doing standing in a closet in her old house? i remember arguing with her when i was a kid telling her i just saw him standing there wearing a suit and she told me there was no way he was because he died 2 weeks before this had happened maybe i was a 4 or 5 year old kid on acid who knows but he was standing there didnt talk or anything but looked at me maybe i was just a high kid though who knows
that is why i believe in ghosts because i actually seen one when i was a kid but after that it never happened again
Without evidence it's more likely you just imagined or hallucinated it. 4-5 year olds are prone to believing what they imagine is real when it isn't.
I agree with him, though sometimes I try to think rationally but it just is not possible since I could literally hear steps next to me. Steps, not just random sounds. I knew nobody was home and at that precise time I was in bed in total darkness so yeah. Or that as a kid I was sleeping with my mom and we lived in a very old house on the countryside andI recall my eyes being used to the little light so I could see better when dark and I clearly remember feeling something over my legs, a pressure pushing down as someone sitting, same feeling. I recall opening my eyes and seeing a black figure with pointy red eyes looking down at me from that same position where I felt the pressure as Im feeling and watching. Though I thought nothing of it and kept sleeping afterwards. How can you possibly explain that my mother who was sleeping deeply when this happened, woke me up later that same night to ask me if I saw a black figure with red eyes on the bed? She drew it on paper the day after and it was literally the same thing I saw and felt. I mean I do believe in science and I study it myself but I think some things are yet to be discovered by science. We literally cannot see dark matter or energy, what else can it take to prove ghosts as maybe they exist outside our 3+1 dimension and can maybe skip through the timeline as maybe they just can move in a direction perpendicular to our 3 of space. Maybe they move through time itself...just random thoughts yeah
I believe that our spirits go into a place where we reflect on life, then go to the next one with no memories of the last one, but we still have those lessons in our spiritual mind. And that’s where I believe deja vu comes from.

Small correction, the secret word was not between Eric Weiss (Houdini) and his mother, it was between he and his wife.
Then bill bye should go sleep in a haunted house I think saying there's no ghost is like saying there's no aliens.
If you look into his eyes, he looked a bit sad when he said ''Apparently, this is all you get''.
It was between Houdini and his wife. Not his mother.
Energy cannot be destroyed or doesn't just evaporate...our body has chem electric currents that run through it....where does that energy go Billy....huh
lol don't expect a fake scientist to be able to answer that. dipshit cant even explain the paranormal experiences I have but yet he will mock those of us that believe by saying we are stupid.
If this life is all you get and time is infinite, then the maths dont add up. If you take an infinite dice and gamble on a number, you are never going to get to that number. Just like the one life theory, if you have an infinite amount of time, to live your approximate 80 years, the odds are impossible. Therefore it is impossible for us to be limited to one single life. I personally think that when you die, everything shuts off, and the "thing" or "things" that make up your consciousness will just drift around until it can be put into another receiver (brain), and then you will have another consciousness. it might take billions of years, but you wont be able to feel that infinity because, well you are dead, and you dont have a perception of time.

Sonia Anastasia It's funny when not even bill nye can explain the very structure and information coding of the universe to carry out its duty so finely without giving the insight to believe God can exist.
Kronikz Gaming Well what god is it that exists? There have been thousands of gods that existed throughout the history of mankind. Which one is the real one?
@Clorox Bleach naming things is a human concept. No other living things gives each other or things names. So perhaps God is actually nameless and humans give it different names and lore.
J.J. Possibly, the universe is definitely complex so I’m not saying that there is no supreme being at all. Just out of thousands it’s almost impossible to determine which one is the right one. Unless of course it really is just one god and humans are the ones who make up the stories about the god. That was a good point though.
Holy Ghost First off I’m not an Atheist I’m Agnostic. Second, when did I say anything about the White House being haunted? Like why did you even bring that up? Also, you do know that everything they show on History Channel isn’t true right? After all this is the same channel that had the show Ancient Aliens. I only believe in things if I have had first hand experience. I don’t blindly believe in something just because people say it or just because it’s on the History Channel. I have never experienced anything weird at my own house so my conclusion as of now is that ghosts aren’t real and that there’s a rational explanation for what these people saw. Now, if I ever experienced something unexplainable I may change my mind, but as of now that’s what I believe.

Just click on the symbol for settings, go to speed and then click on 0.5
LMAO how in the hell did you come up with this?? The way he swashes those eyebrows makes this!! You made my day, thank you for being you.
I believe in Goats. They are everywhere, and there are lots of horses and sheep here too.
Oh, ghosts - - NOPE.
What about goats ghosts?
Lol
@@Sol_Badguy_GG
I wonder about that. Sometimes at night I hear 'baahhh!' in my living room, and in the morning find some of my furniture and papers appear to have been chewed!
Human ghosts, nope, but goat ghosts... maybe...
Oh, yes, I believe in the
Lots of sheep.
everyone in this feed are typing like they are scholars. lol
Well, clearly not everyone...
And how would that merit "lol"?
It's just people who are sure they're right. Some people believe they're sure there's no afterlife, while others believe there is one. Both are arrogantly annoying about their beliefs, and are hypocritical to others about the validity of their beliefs. No one knows. And that's a fact.
I like how he doesn’t believe in after life, but he is still sorta open minded to the fact there might be one.
😂
he knows what happens hes just a agent lol same with neil astral shit 777

I doubt it
i believe it’s called agnostic (i don’t mean that in a sarcastic way)
This very realization can be very traumatizing and terrifying. It keeps me up at night knowing one day you will die and never be able to experience consciousness again. Man... I don't think there's anything that's scarier out there than this besides dying only having lived an unfulfilled life.
Yeah, that's a very common experience. When I was about 5-6 years old (I can't remember exactly) I fully realized that eventually everyone dies, including myself. The full realization of my own mortality was so devastatingly sad I cried for about 15 minutes straight.
If there's an easy way of dealing with the existential dilemma (knowing that eventually we cease to exist), I haven't found it and I've been trying to figure it out much of my adult life.
@Tidder T
How so? He describes how scary the prospect of death is and I agree.
Well I have good and bad news for you.
Good News this isn't your only life.
Bad news: there's no afterlife like you're thinking i.e No heaven nor hell.

How is this life not our only one? If you're referring to reincarnation, that's just as bullshit as any other afterlife belief.
@@alankoslowski9473 Are you atheist? If so then idk the Answer but if you're religious most likely getting reincarnated. Idk what other afterlife explainations are there but not all of them are bullshit.
Don't be embarrassed if you imagine things in fear. It just means your brain is working well and trying to protect you.
I hate your fucking profile picture

Can't exactly call it working well, there are mental conditions where the person imagines things in fear and unable to live a normal life, tho I guess I took the example a bit far
So we aren't inclined towards true beliefs. Just ones that help our survival.
I come to this video when I am stupid and tired and am having silly thoughts that scare me into being scared and need support
I feel similar
I'm just finding this video for the first time, and it makes me incredibly happy and extremely content. I needed this. In short, same !
I’m sorry to tell you but there is literally weird shit in the world we can’t explain.

@twistedyogert we should follow Jesus Christ!

Ghosts are real! Last night I went to the bathroom and I saw a poop inside the toilet bowl, but nobody was there! Scary.
That must've been some real scary shit.
Well, everybody know that poops are ghosts. That's not up for debate
