Abishek Ghimire I had had quantum physics in college. My college quantum physics professor would speak about this guy and how media has distorted it for profit and how the rest of us are left cleaning up the mess.
Abishek Ghimire When I get more time I'll explain further. Ixm walking out the door now. The main problem is what is known as P-hacking. Quantum is very complex and doesn't work the way the pop science explains it.
people have said this about Neil de Grasse Tyson as well, do you have any evidence for your claim? and even if he is a media puppet that doesn't make him any less smart
One kid ate the marshmallow immediately and said “I didn’t want another marshmallow, once was enough for me because I know candy is not good if I eat too much” Basically the kid knew that he didn’t need too much to be happy. These are maybe the limits of the test.
I've always had trouble with spacing out and daydreaming in class. Growing up a lot of teachers and people saw it as a problem. To a point it is but I'm glad Dr. Kaku recognizes that the ability to do so I part of what makes humans different and leads to our ability to problem solve.
I chose waiting for 2 - and I still haven't got even one !!!!! Things not taken into account in this test: (1) in real world there is uncertainty of gains from "above" - matter of trust and predictability (2) A promise can be broken - someone expecting 2 can get none. If that happens take 3 or more yourself.
SP I300 Indeed he is an intelligent physicist who’s being megalomaniacal but it’s people like u who are being fooled by the annunciation and paraphrasing Sorry it’s not derogatory I didn’t have better words
I asked my 7 year old daughter this. And she stopped and thought for a second and goes 'wait so you have marshmallows?' I agreed that I had a bag in my changing bag and she says immediately 'how long do i have to wait for the whole bag?'
I ask my five-year-old daughter this question and she thought about it and decided she wants one marshmallow now. I asked her why she didn't want two marshmallows. She said because it's too much sugar if she ate two she might get a tummy ache and she doesn't want to get cavities. WRONG!!! I told her Dr Michio Kaku says she's stupid and will never amount to anything in life. How dare she think about the consequences of her decisions!!! I can't believe this kid...is she even mine!!??????
They don't see the future neccessarily, they anticipate what is to come through their survival instincts, which is "automatic". Although, some orcas were shown to actually train their young to hunt before the seals arrive, which is a rare instance of preplanning in the animal kingdom.
The behaviours got beaten into them through thousand years of evolution. It exists in their gene based on the sacrifices of millions of their ancestor. So, no they can't see the future. The season changes is recurrent and they adapt to it.
chester cortez they get what they need now and for the future. They are not starving now for the future. That's the difference between a forrest full of nuts and an adult human controlled bag of marshmallows. Nobody stops the bear.
It wasn't about waiting 2 hours for kids! It was in most cases 15 minutes. I've just read the book by Walter Mischel, the author of the Marshmallow test.
This effect has not been reproduced. A paper just came out in July 2024 that disproved it again (they compared people who did the test as kids later, at 26 years old). It's just simplifying things: "those poor people are just lazy and stupid, unlike me who has it nice".
As an adult, you realize that the harder you work, the more the state and the government takes from you. Those additional marshmallows you wait patiently for just get taken from you via taxes.
What fails to realize is there are rules out there that may not give the meaning of life but do give the ruler of standard that makes the dream work down here
Delayed gratification is a skill as described here is key. It is not a guarantee because other factors enter in too. But everything being equal, Emotional Intelligence is very important.
It's still not clear if the marshmellow test predicts success above and beyond socioeconomic status (SES). SES is actually a larger predictor of success. That is, even if you hold off eating the marshmellow, you will not be successful if you started out poor. A key thing to note though, there will always be exceptions but by and large, most (again, not all) poor people in this day and age never get to enjoy success. There's a need to even the playing field for all. However, we should also acknowledge that progress has been made over the years but it's still far from sufficient.
Here's an article that more clearly articulates what I was trying to say. but take it with a grain of salt. I welcome new perspectives www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2018/06/marshmallow-test/561779/?
I came here to say this. I know when I was a kid, I didn't get marshmallows (or candy, or junk food) because we were just too poor. I was always hungry. Kids are mean. They'll hold out a handful of candy and say "want some?" only to pull it away yelling "psych!" and then run away laughing hysterically. If somebody had given me a marshmallow, I would have stuffed it in my mouth before the offer turned out to be a scam, or some other kid punched me in the head and took it from me. I still managed to claw my way up out of poverty, have a decent life, and save for rainy days and (hopefully, some day) retirement. But I don't do well at delayed gratification, because that "double or nothing" scenario is a gamble you only take with play money you don't need for survival, and the house almost always wins.
umdesch4 hey i'm happy for you that you climbed out of the poverty cycle! I think it's a great thing!!! Nevertheless, I think on the whole, marshmellow test doesn't really predict success that well. But the thing with such experiments is that we use it to predict general trends. The analogy fails when we talk about single individuals because there are always exceptions and trends don't account for exceptions. Rather it accounts for what is more likely to happen. This is all to say that while I agree with you, I think it's important to prevent yourself from falling into the fallacy of just using your experiences (or those around you) to gauge the validity of any trends. Academics typically call this ecological fallacy.
For sure. I'm just using my own experience as an example, but I've seen a lot of other studies that basically say that in general, someone's parents' socio-economic status bears the highest correlation to theirs. Correlation and causation are tricky to determine, but my intuitive sense is that the marshmallow test is a test of something other than a straight ability to grasp the concept of delayed gratification at an early age. That's far too reductionist. In my situation, given what I knew and understood of the world as a small child, taking the one marshmallow was the winning strategy with the highest likely outcome of success for my survival. Then, of course, there's the question of whether the test is any kind of valid predictor of future success in life, even if only as some kind of correlation. I doubt that too, and as the link you posted above indicates, it seems worth doubting.
I’m sad to know that not all human beings have self control and hurt others trying to get what they want... If more of us were able to control ourselves, the world would have been a much better place
Well, some people wait until they are almost dying of hunger or curiosity before they have that marshmallow. At which point, having one or 1000 makes no difference anymore. The bottom line is hunger or curiosity, not personality.
If I waited 2 hours for 2 marshmallows, I probably would have forgotten about it anyways, not to mention you have to pay with your time to earn a reward while the other option of only 1 marshmallow gives you a marshmallow instantly without having to give back in return, a zero sum gain which is usually hard come by, that’s how I would have broken it down when I was a kid
There have been similar experiments (smaller reward now, bigger reward later) with apes and chickens, and the apes and chickens will usually wait for the bigger reward.
Its two different tactics for survival based on environment. A hardwood trees tactic is slow and steady wins the race whereas other trees race up for the light but dont have the longevity of hardwood species. Poor people take the first offer because they have to. The better off people can afford to be more patient. Its very sad to think that class could limit a childs potential in this way. If all families had enough security to teach their children about tomorrow we could all be geniuses.
I am not certain but I think there is some missing analogy here. Soft wood trees beat the hardwood to the light, and the hardwood dies. First to market or never to market maybe? The correct answer too late is the wrong answer?
@@KANJICODER Your not wrong thats why there are many softwoods and not many hardwood trees...But the oldest or biggest are almost always hardwoods. When I say hardwoods I dont necessarily mean stuff like ebony or teak. Im talking European broadleafs...And Yew trees as well I guess...But softwoods generally cant support their own weight past a certain size and so they rarely make it to the canopy to compete long term. The early bird does get the worm but you must have heard the one about the hare and the tortoise....?
this is just generalisation. You can never know what the child was really thinking. The child who did not want to wait for two marshmallows may have thought that its not worth waiting that much. What you get is just two marshmallows instead of one. The prize should have been bigger at least. You also have to see that very successful people have many exceptions in their lives which makes them unpredictable. If we are to make a generalisation, we can say that greedy or very passionate or extremely motivated people are succesful. You can have a lot of shortcomings, insecurities etc, even impatience might be one of them. But if you are extremely motivated, towards certain goals, you'll overcome everything. You'll be sucessful. Most likeliy. If a car doesn't hit you.
This. Playing safe, paying with time for higher return, letting others manage your asset ( the marshmallow ). Sounds like symptoms of typical corporate slave. Successful kids would do something more creative. E.g. Take the marshmallow, trade it with a piece of TimTam, then trade it again with 2 marshmallow with another kid who likes TimTam.
I think the general idea behind it is true because most success requires work, patience, discipline and persistence.Yes maybe a simple marshmallow test won't be enough but doing many kinds of "marshmallow tests" throughout time and I think it'd be more accurate.It''s not everything but I think it's a big part of getting ahead in life.
Yea or those kids grow up to become gamblers because more is just around the corner. More more more. This guy has a series of tv shows that just beats around the bush and never answers anything. Just a motivational speaker with some music in background to hold your pleb minds in place.
Completely besides the point of the video, but I started to ponder on the question of whether dogs indeed can't learn to perceive time in terms of days. When the dogs are fed around the same time every day, they learn when they'll have dinner the next day and that asking for food now won't work but they can ask for food again a day later. Our dog started developing some early stage dementia and now, after losing a lot of pillows and balls, he makes sure his favorite pillow is always put back in the same place so he won't lose it. Doesn't that mean dogs do have some sense of future?
Lets say you take two groups of children, for a month you give one group marshmallow 5 times a day everyday and the other you don't give them marshmallows, which group is more likely to pass the marshmallow test
Very interesting! This explains my underachievement very aptly!! Always been brain lazy, but physically very hard working and conscientious. Just never had the patience or capacity to look long term. Instant gratification has always been my Achilles heel.
0:12, when he says "high IQ", they show a young black girl. 0:36 "kids that want shortcuts, that don't want to do the hard work" and they show two white boys. 0:45 where is says "if I wait...", they show two young girls. These placements of these kids with those words were intentional to send a message.
There’s a difference between instant gratification and going into debt though, it’s not like you have to sit in a corner for an hour to make up for the marshmallow you took
Your personality can influence whether you take that marshmallow or you wait a couple hours so you get more, but that does not mean you can’t be trained to wait. Some personalities are more suited to waiting and resisting the temptation of instant gratification, but that does not mean others cannot resist as well. They just need to be trained.
@@jayr399 that’s the kind of mindset that sets you up for failure in life. When seeing a objective that seems out of reach in the current moment, you immediately go to the excuse and assume that you can’t do it. With the right mindset and training you can change it slowly but surely, this goes for most skills. The amount of success or skill you have when you are born is PARTLY influenced by your pre-set personality, but the majority of it can be obtained through training.
Well my opinion is that this is true to some extent. Personality isn't fully formed before adolescent age and primar socialisation is great for understanding others, roles etc. hence this behaviour could be learned. Grasping abstract ideas is hard for kids, especially concepts of commitment, sacrifice and time. Even Piaget test shows that young children have trouble differentiating size from number - to them bigger is always more (in number). In this aspect it's marvelous to think about our inner voices too and when they actually internalize. But sure we can say that some children are gifted more than the others. But what I'd like to know is there some sort of determinism, that society shapes up on a certain way or are some moral behaviours objective and above us.
They should include the kids in the same room, so we can see the instant gratification kids beg for the extra marshmallows from the disciplined ones. Just like adults...
I take the marshmallow now - because the marshmallow factory is likely to burn to the ground soon - and while the others are waiting for their 2nd marshmallow - I’m already eating the Hershey bar that came before me as I’m rocketing towards Charlie’s chocolate factory to mount a take over and share it out to those who have supported me and to those that never had a chance of eating chocolate in the first place.
kids who trust their parents, teachers, or mentors will likely eat it less often. the reason they do this is partly b/c at home they feel pressured to eat things or get things lest other siblings eat it before them - so it has to do with anxiety...so the test doesn't factor in stressors. meaning, the test is more about whether the kid has trust issues or paranoia regarding being bullied, abused, or taken advantage of by his elders
I saw this then called my 7 yr old daughter and asked her the question 1 marshmallow now or 2 in an hr and she chose later... then I asked what if I had the marshmallow in my hand now for u to see. She laughed and said I would of took it lol.. so the mentality to wait for more was there when there was no marshmallow in view but she honestly told me her mind may have changed if she saw it.. lol
Mark Emerson tell that to the democrat prepping you to work your ass off for someone elses passion until you're made to like it and pass on life without once stopping to notice wtf this actually is
If you invest 1000 dollars in USA index like dow jones when you are 18, those stocks will probably be worth around 60000 dollars when you are 65. Maybe that will convince some that delaying gratification is worth it:) sorry for any bad english.
Meaning of life is not rediscovery, because we still all end up dying anyway if we do rediscover ourself. The meaning of life is continued reinvention. Especially toward human development.
Mr Kaku is awesome..a good example how naive humans can become...God allowed humans to progress in their own capacity to become like gods or Gods in their science and philosophy , to be able to know the truth and God or invent methodologies to prolong life, extend life....God only took away His technology of the Tree of Life..to prevent humans from doing endless wickedness to his own kind..God even allowed Lucifer to have his pride...But humans go after their own lusts..For those who are successful ,,God reserve the Tree of Life as free gift and not the Money Tree..
It all depends on that one marshmallow you could have gotten! But did not wait for! :D Michio found all the other tests wrong! But this little test is just right most of the time! You pick that Marshmallow and you're doomed! or you are "bad"! How about "you" picked the marshmallow and did not wait for number two, for the simple reason that you were a kid and just wanted the marshmallow! And it does not say or tell shit about you as a grow up?
I was the kind of kid that was afraid of ever taking the marshmallow. Where does that leave me? I’m too afraid to take that marshmallow and take that next step.

That test wouldn't have worked on me because I've always hated Marshmallows.
It's on children who love marshmallow. If they test it has to be base off what they love to consume too.
This is a stupid test because society doesn't reward hard working people like he did with the marshmallows.
@@lepetitchat123 yeah you've got a point
Not necessarily marshmallow per se, it may refer to Money. Delay accepting money, wait for bigger amount later on.
luckily tests are conducted on more than one person last i checked
One kid ate the marshmallow immediately and said “I didn’t want another marshmallow, once was enough for me because I know candy is not good if I eat too much”
Basically the kid knew that he didn’t need too much to be happy. These are maybe the limits of the test.

When I was a kid , I would have took the marshmallow now and stole the rest later .
I would of left and snuck in at night and steal everything but the marshmallow.
You'd be a very good politician! 👏

Crazy how accurate that is though..😂🙄
Yeah but it's a test . One can steal marshmallow but we can't steal success .
I chose waiting for 2 - and I still haven't got even one !!!!!
Things not taken into account in this test: (1) in real world there is uncertainty of gains from "above" - matter of trust and predictability (2) A promise can be broken - someone expecting 2 can get none. If that happens take 3 or more yourself.

Hahaha
Well, some people wait until they are almost dying of hunger or curiosity before they have that marshmallow. At which point, having one or 1000 makes no difference anymore.
The bottom line is hunger or curiosity, not personality.
thats why u need to see or imagine the future so u know what the exact time you grab the marshmallow, not on the point you really dying in hunger...
Absolutely. And "then", the marshmallow can get 1.) crusty 2.) eaten 3.) undesired.
Again, I say Bah.

Delayed gratification is associated with resisting a smaller but more immediate reward in order to receive a larger or more enduring reward later
That last part gave me chillz man... thats some deep stuff. 😥😏
If I waited 2 hours for 2 marshmallows, I probably would have forgotten about it anyways, not to mention you have to pay with your time to earn a reward while the other option of only 1 marshmallow gives you a marshmallow instantly without having to give back in return, a zero sum gain which is usually hard come by, that’s how I would have broken it down when I was a kid

I think the general idea behind it is true because most success requires work, patience, discipline and persistence.Yes maybe a simple marshmallow test won't be enough but doing many kinds of "marshmallow tests" throughout time and I think it'd be more accurate.It''s not everything but I think it's a big part of getting ahead in life.

Yea or those kids grow up to become gamblers because more is just around the corner. More more more. This guy has a series of tv shows that just beats around the bush and never answers anything. Just a motivational speaker with some music in background to hold your pleb minds in place.

Completely besides the point of the video, but I started to ponder on the question of whether dogs indeed can't learn to perceive time in terms of days. When the dogs are fed around the same time every day, they learn when they'll have dinner the next day and that asking for food now won't work but they can ask for food again a day later. Our dog started developing some early stage dementia and now, after losing a lot of pillows and balls, he makes sure his favorite pillow is always put back in the same place so he won't lose it. Doesn't that mean dogs do have some sense of future?
Lets say you take two groups of children, for a month you give one group marshmallow 5 times a day everyday and the other you don't give them marshmallows, which group is more likely to pass the marshmallow test
Luckily for the researchers that all kids that were tested actually liked marshmallows.
I'm watching this while eating a literal bag of marshmallows
Very interesting! This explains my underachievement very aptly!! Always been brain lazy, but physically very hard working and conscientious. Just never had the patience or capacity to look long term. Instant gratification has always been my Achilles heel.
Yup life over for u
@@jayr399 Thanks for the encouraging words. Jay. It’s not true what they say about you…
@@TTPDrums yeah ok. Cope
@@jayr399 you’re a true wordsmith Jay. Incredible.
4:00 Right. The meaning of life, is to give life a meaning.
great channel with great videos....
Bringing coolness back to marshmallows
0:12, when he says "high IQ", they show a young black girl. 0:36 "kids that want shortcuts, that don't want to do the hard work" and they show two white boys. 0:45 where is says "if I wait...", they show two young girls. These placements of these kids with those words were intentional to send a message.
There’s a difference between instant gratification and going into debt though, it’s not like you have to sit in a corner for an hour to make up for the marshmallow you took
I'm the kid that realized "wow marshmallows are in demand....i want to learn how to make my own marshmallows"
This was touching felt like it touched my soul
Your personality can influence whether you take that marshmallow or you wait a couple hours so you get more, but that does not mean you can’t be trained to wait. Some personalities are more suited to waiting and resisting the temptation of instant gratification, but that does not mean others cannot resist as well. They just need to be trained.
Sorry it can’t be trained. That’s cope. You either got the sauce or you don’t.
@@jayr399 that’s the kind of mindset that sets you up for failure in life. When seeing a objective that seems out of reach in the current moment, you immediately go to the excuse and assume that you can’t do it. With the right mindset and training you can change it slowly but surely, this goes for most skills.
The amount of success or skill you have when you are born is PARTLY influenced by your pre-set personality, but the majority of it can be obtained through training.
Well my opinion is that this is true to some extent. Personality isn't fully formed before adolescent age and primar socialisation is great for understanding others, roles etc. hence this behaviour could be learned. Grasping abstract ideas is hard for kids, especially concepts of commitment, sacrifice and time. Even Piaget test shows that young children have trouble differentiating size from number - to them bigger is always more (in number). In this aspect it's marvelous to think about our inner voices too and when they actually internalize. But sure we can say that some children are gifted more than the others. But what I'd like to know is there some sort of determinism, that society shapes up on a certain way or are some moral behaviours objective and above us.
If my parents asked me the marshmallow question, my answer would've been "no thanks" because I don't like marshmallows... how do you make of that
Doesn’t mean anything. U can substitute marshmallow for anything. Stop coping
@@jayr399 yet more sage advice from one of life’s true winners. Good stuff Jay 👍🏻
@@TTPDrums
Your reply is cope. I bet you posted that from your 9-5 while hoping to get home so u can lounge around and watch Netflix I can sense it
Time is the ONLY thing that can't be replenished.
They should include the kids in the same room, so we can see the instant gratification kids beg for the extra marshmallows from the disciplined ones. Just like adults...
I take the marshmallow now - because the marshmallow factory is likely to burn to the ground soon - and while the others are waiting for their 2nd marshmallow - I’m already eating the Hershey bar that came before me as I’m rocketing towards Charlie’s chocolate factory to mount a take over and share it out to those who have supported me and to those that never had a chance of eating chocolate in the first place.
Kissing ass at work can lead to success too, I've seen it happen.
Awesome experiment
Society now is built around who can make the best shortcut tho literally. Everyone trying to make things more efficient thats it.
No.. what you gain from short cuts don't tend to last
RR 钟离 nothing lasts in this entropic world
This has no correlation to anything. Midwit marshmallow test failures love to cope
Well is a few hours worth the wait for one more? It could be too late by that time!
kids who trust their parents, teachers, or mentors will likely eat it less often. the reason they do this is partly b/c at home they feel pressured to eat things or get things lest other siblings eat it before them - so it has to do with anxiety...so the test doesn't factor in stressors. meaning, the test is more about whether the kid has trust issues or paranoia regarding being bullied, abused, or taken advantage of by his elders
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
I saw this then called my 7 yr old daughter and asked her the question 1 marshmallow now or 2 in an hr and she chose later... then I asked what if I had the marshmallow in my hand now for u to see. She laughed and said I would of took it lol.. so the mentality to wait for more was there when there was no marshmallow in view but she honestly told me her mind may have changed if she saw it.. lol
you need to strengthen her character, currently it is too common for her gender.
Shazam! Didn’t bring tears to eyes but oh how my heart and mind just had the biggest make out session - possibly ever!
gr8H8er theres this thing called chitta in hindu or rather vedic teachings about the mind its pure unaffected and uninfluenced intelligence
gr8H8er i believe thats truly what makes us all so different
Waiting is suppression no link with success.
Love this man.
the entire education system does not prepare one for life - only for passing exams - the system is long overdue a major overhaul
Mark Emerson tell that to the democrat prepping you to work your ass off for someone elses passion until you're made to like it and pass on life without once stopping to notice wtf this actually is
Indeed. School is a waste of time. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Go antinatalist!
"How Marshmallows Predict Your Success | Michio Kaku | Goalcast"
Long live our scientists!!!!
Bah
If you invest 1000 dollars in USA index like dow jones when you are 18, those stocks will probably be worth around 60000 dollars when you are 65. Maybe that will convince some that delaying gratification is worth it:) sorry for any bad english.
For a second I thought the guy in the thumbnail was Jimmy Page.
Meaning of life is not rediscovery, because we still all end up dying anyway if we do rediscover ourself. The meaning of life is continued reinvention. Especially toward human development.
Mr Kaku is awesome..a good example how naive humans can become...God allowed humans to progress in their own capacity to become like gods or Gods in their science and philosophy , to be able to know the truth and God or invent methodologies to prolong life, extend life....God only took away His technology of the Tree of Life..to prevent humans from doing endless wickedness to his own kind..God even allowed Lucifer to have his pride...But humans go after their own lusts..For those who are successful ,,God reserve the Tree of Life as free gift and not the Money Tree..
i agree with some of his hypothesis
I'll take 2 marshmallows now, and 2 marshmallows later. (^_^)
I would have eaten half the marshmellow and then smooshed it together to make it look like I didn't eat any.
Maaaan this was good!!!
Nice. Professor Kaku.
The meaning of life, the rediscovery of life is doing God’s purpose. You will discover Hope, Peace, and joy.
Eh...the marshmallow test and the wealth of their parents as well.

Everyone is successful in some ways and not in others.
Amazing vid.
It all depends on that one marshmallow you could have gotten! But did not wait for! :D
Michio found all the other tests wrong! But this little test is just right most of the time! You pick that Marshmallow and you're doomed! or you are "bad"!
How about "you" picked the marshmallow and did not wait for number two, for the simple reason that you were a kid and just wanted the marshmallow! And it does not say or tell shit about you as a grow up?
Aren’t squirrels preparing for the future when they collect and store acorns for the winter?
I was the kind of kid that was afraid of ever taking the marshmallow. Where does that leave me? I’m too afraid to take that marshmallow and take that next step.
Kid that doesn’t eat the marshmallow: I’m poor the double the better
Kid that eats it: Can I just go now? (Fools I have a job)
Great words
great video
