I'm a doubter, so I can only guarantee that any opinions expressed in these videos were the opinions I held at the time of making them and not necessarily the opinion I still hold now! This is like a mind lab in which I'm experimenting with ideas, mainly about men's issues, politics and geek culture. I would have done this earlier but I thought I should have a firmer idea that I'm right first, and then I realised everyone that thinks they know they're right, is wrong because they only think they know they're right, whereas at best I only know I think I'm right, and that's going to have to be good enough. In some ways, it's better.

"Thought Flogging" from Dave Schilling
มุมมอง 1017 ปีที่แล้ว
Men are less happy when they're sole breadwinners according to studies by Christin Munsch. Who'da thunk? But Dave Schilling's reporting on this finding in The Guardian comment is a bit confusing. He's certainly angry at men for some reason, but it's not clear what. Fortunately he's come up with a term that applies perfectly to his weird double-binding passive aggressive display of shaming - "th...

Are there really Toxic Men on the Internet? (a belated International Men's Day Video)
มุมมอง 1617 ปีที่แล้ว
Mark Brown, writing in the New Statesman, thinks the "manosphere" is celebrating Trump's election victory as a triumph and is full of men promoting toxic masculinity. Is toxic masculinity really being spread by traditionalist men on the internet? I'm going to investigate. Snark warning: I may employ some snark here and there. Sorry about the wild changes in volume. Please hang on for the epilog...
The Echo Ghetto
มุมมอง 397 ปีที่แล้ว
In an echo chamber people cut themselves off from dissenting opinions so they only hear their own point of view reflected back at them. An echo ghetto is the same, but not of the inhabitants own making; it is where they have been relegated after being designated as "deplorables".

Arthur Chu as an example of how SJWs hate Socialism
มุมมอง 1677 ปีที่แล้ว
The majority of anti-SJWs refer to the SJWs as "leftists". If Arthur Chu is anything to go by they are no such thing. They're the offspring of Thatcher and Reagan who attended the finishing school of Clinton and Blair, but they're the enemies of real left wing politics. I created this video with the TH-cam Video Editor (th-cam.com/users/editor)

Just a quickie - Oh do stop talking about sex!
มุมมอง 637 ปีที่แล้ว
It seems to me that the feminists have a problem that they just confuse people talking about "gender" because no one knows what they're talking about, and "sex" is a bit confusing too. So I thought I'd offer a helpful solution to this problem, by suggesting some less ambiguous terms.

Best doctor who ever!!!!
Love the silver gaffa tape - those were the days….😊
Dr Who created an XOR gate.
Effects were good back then..
The logic is on point, but how could he tell which switch that mummy was actually pointing at! Always bothered me as a kid.
How would I know which one I was
You see, that’s the REAL Doctor right there, using his impeccable and razor-sharp intellect to outwit an enemy and get he and Sarah Jane out of a jam! Tom Baker will always be my Dr. Who. I grew up watching this guy, and this guy only as the Doctor. Whatever the heck they’ve got going on with the latest Doctor is nothing but window dressing. Number 4 will always be the greatest Time Lord from Gallifrey!
Such a simple riddle, The Asaryians had a sense of humor. If the defenses had deemed them a threat, they would have been instantly killed.

Watching on an NTSC TV from across the room, especially if I'm watching the VHS copy I made of the PBS "movie," you would never see that the buttons were held on by duct tape. I never did until I rewatched it, on my laptop, which is two feet from my nose. But I still like the riddle. And guess who's back?
Who's here after Ruby Sunday?
EoD, but no relation. I'm just having fun.
Lucky Karl Pilkington wasn’t playing the Doctor.
Not smart writing. Not well done. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
I had to be almost 50 to get the riddle
I watched this episode when it was first screened on TV nearly fifty (48?) years ago and remembered the scene with the riddle so vividly that I related it to my young children only yesterday. Thank you for posting this clip which my children then asked to see of it.
It was in the book too.
I’ve seen three versions of this trial in film and tv. This is the only one where the actual method to solving it plays out.

I wish I had a video cassette recorder when this aired back in the day....I could have learned logic. Thanks for this post.
This Resembles A Very Special Riddle, From An Episode of The Powerpuff Girls, "Him Diddle Riddle" In Which They Saw There Were Two Identical Ms. Keane, Which Are Hovering Over A Very Heated Swimming Pool, With Man-Eating Sharks, and Discover Which One of Ms. Keane is The Truthteller and The Other Ms. Keane is The Liar, and Also On Yu-Gi-Oh, Where Yugi Moto and Joey Wheeler Had A Very Similar Riddle, At Maximillan's Duelist Kingdom, Where They Face Off With The Two Brothers of Para and Dox.
Yes it is an example of a very old tradition of abstract logic puzzles involving truth-tellers and liars which have been appearing in TV shows, magazines and children's christmas annuals and other such places for ages and ages. The original reason I ever needed this uploaded was to use it as an example of the genre of puzzle.
i still got the vhs copy of this story!
Me too.
Clever Dr🙌
"Do nothing. Be still. Sleep. Rest in the arms of the Dragon. Dream." ...perfect
Love this, Mark! I'l be in touch soon. For sure.
The guardian's indication was vague to the point of being useless. Lucky the Doctor had read the script.
From a certain angle it may seem vague but if you were looking from the perspective of the finger, it would be clearer.
As me or as a worm?

I told you it belongs to the celt but European folklore has its own unique form of dragon which is a little bit different from the Eurasian dragon and then the Asian Dragon and the Southeast Asian Dragon, think of them as a genius.
Everybody and everything is trying to kill you. Don't let that faze you.
My dad used to tell me this just before saying goodnight as a kind of lullaby thing. This is a bit more spooky than when he told it but it helped me feel safe and protected from nightmares by a huge dragon.
"Do nothing. Be still. Sleep. Rest in the arms of the Dragon. Dream." can't even explain why that is so perfect it just is.
or ask, if u were bady guy or good guy and wanted to die wich button to push to die
The bad guy would still lie and point at the good one.
@@MaccamatBux the evil guys would do the opposite
you found a reality wall not a puzzle, there is no solution using this reality, doctor was wrong, you have to ask .. if you were the bad guy and wanted to live which button to push to live
Your comment is a year old but I'll reply anyway. The good guy would know that the bad guy would lie and point to the death button so that's the button the good guy would point at. The bad guy would know that the bad guy in your question would point at the death button so he would lie and point at the live button. So obviously that's not what you want.
Unfortunately the series failed after this mainly due to poor script s and casting, such a shame
Blame Mary Whitehouse she was on a crusade to destroy it because - think of the children...she caused the BBC to remove Holmes and Hinchcliffe there by killing the golden age of Dr Who, other than City of Death....
What do you mean? This season was great!
What are you talking about?
@@MaccamatBux Mary Whitehouse was a vocal critic of the golden years of Dr Who (Tom Baker, Robert Holmes) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seeds_of_Doom she was against the minor amount of horror/violence showing up in Dr Who and pushed to get Dr Who taken off the air. The effect was Robert Holmes was moved on to more adult tv programming and thus the great stories, Hand of Fear, Pyramid of Mars, Terror of the Zygons, Tales of Wang Chiang etc were never surpassed. I guess until what I think as the Weeping Angels probably being the most scariest of any Dr Who since Baker.
@@jakeisthedoctor2308 Robert Holmes was part of the writing team for Pyramids of Mars and many others. Quote from Wikipedia Holmes was known for his morbid sense of humour and his inclination to write dark and disturbing material. The previous producer Barry Letts often had Holmes tone down his writing, but Letts's successor Philip Hinchcliffe wanted to take the programme in a darker and more dynamic direction along with the introduction of its new lead actor, Tom Baker. Holmes continued as script editor for the next three years, seeing Doctor Who through one of its most successful eras in terms of both viewing figures and critical acclaim. Despite this, a number of stories came under fire from Mary Whitehouse of the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association for their alleged excessive violence or frightening tone. Some of the most controversial stories were written by Holmes himself.
"Which switch would he indicate?" for what. Script flawed as the Doctor's question does not specify an outcome so he could not know to which outcome the guardian was answering too. Labyrinth did it better: th-cam.com/video/2dgmgub8mHw/w-d-xo.html
Given that the Doctor refers to 'the question' and the Eye poses the Riddle as: "Which is the Guardian of Life?", one COULD infer that the question being posed is 'Which is the release switch?'. Not CLEAR, yes, but followable.
One of my favorite classic bits from one of my all-time favorite stories.
One of the greatest. Star Gate before Star Gate
Brilliant
I've seen this episode before, but this scene wasn't in it. Why would they cut this scene? Who doesn't want to see the Doctor flex his mental muscles?
What are you talking about? It was in the episode
@@jakeisthedoctor2308 Well, it was part of that event they ran a few years ago, The Doctor's Finest. They may have edited it down for time. At least, that's my guess.
@@sethsholtis5297 I wouldn't be surprised if scenes were cut in compilations. Back then stories ran for 100 minutes across 4 episodes on average and finales were 150 minutes.
Over the years this phrase from the movie 'rest in the arms of the dragon' stuck with me and have helped me through many difficult time <3 think many could benefit from it in these times. Thank you.
Me too.
Very true. Helps with fear and uncertainty
The best Doctor Who story of them all. Flawless.
Doubt
Within the top 10 at least. Several where on par with this one. Masterfully written as many of these early episodes where.
But not "hand on cushion"-less.
Power of the Daleks?
0:34 - Duck tape?
and badly done too - look at the creases!
Assistant directors have rolls of it attached to them
Great movie! Thanks to Perceptual Outer Dimensions for the track "Hoodoo". (Which samples this quite a bit)
Thank you so much for posting this clip because it is one of the best Tom Baker scenes and one of my favourites. ✌🏻
That was such a bamboozle of a riddle ...when you were 9 years old! Haha!
Which one would the other on choose.
@@Dave-te5bs What do you mean? Both would point to the same one.
Mummy’s
Pyramids of Mars ❤️
weren't women most happy in communist countries? must be because they didn't have any idiotic consumerist influences
Socialist MRA here, subbed mate.
Nicol Williams made that film. A brilliant actor sadly no longer with us Rip Merlin !
Simple and true.
This serial was my first ever Doctor Who one many years ago. It still remains one of my favorites to this day.
I remember watching it with my dad back when I was young. One of my favorites too.
I was just after you. Masque of Mandragora.
Your videos were good, you should make more of them.
No other actor could even come close to Nicol Williamson's Merlin.
