      I don’t mean idiocy as in dumbness, I mean it like quirky stupidity, interwoven into intelligently explained complex information to make it more digestible for younger audiences, or those without a more advanced understanding of thermodynamics. The beauty also lies in that for those who do have a more complex understanding, it dosent feel like your over simplifying it to the point it becomes basic.

      This. Right now my country is stuck in a seemingly infinite loop of election cycles and nobody seems to offer any sort of legislation to prevent this from happening.
      What bothers me about this is that it made me conclude that the people that lead the system will never fix its flaws because, ultimately, it works in their favor. Even the smaller parties find it convenient.
      The biggest problem with democracy is that no matter what party gets elected, the public is still ruled by politicians. You can't trust politicians to rely on anything but their own interests, even if their intentions are great. A change in the system is too risky for a politician to make, unless they want to risk losing their seat.

    Imagine a world where everyone thinks the same way, always agrees, and sees things from the same angle. Sounds peaceful, right? Not quite. This, in a nutshell, is the paradox of unanimity: sometimes, more agreement can actually mean less certainty.
    While we tend to trust decisions everyone supports, the truth is, the chances of everyone being truly independent and correct are surprisingly low. Why? Because we're human, and shared biases, groupthink, and even emotional contagion can easily sway everyone in the same direction, even if it's wrong.
    This doesn't mean every viewpoint needs to be extreme or completely different. But in ambiguous situations, where right and wrong aren't clear-cut, diversity of thought is crucial. It's like a puzzle: the more perspectives you have, the better chance you have of seeing the whole picture and finding the right solution.
    Here's the catch: blindly following the majority can be dangerous. Think about how easily rumors spread, even if they're untrue. In complex moral decisions, groupthink can lead to mass delusion, where everyone believes something is right simply because everyone else does. This can have serious consequences, hindering our ability to distinguish right from wrong and leading to harmful choices.
    So, the next time you encounter a situation where everyone seems to agree, remember the paradox of unanimity. Don't be afraid to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and see things from different angles. It might be uncomfortable, but it could also save us from making regrettable choices and pave the way for a more nuanced and just society.

    I love how Michael can talk about a concept that every knows but not many people truly understand the depth of. He then takes you there in ten minutes, makes you question everything you know and then in another ten he talks about why eggplants are called eggplants it’s our yearly free acid trip.

  • @thinkfact
    @thinkfact 3 ปีที่แล้ว +805

    You touched base on an issue which I feel has plagued not only my personal life, but my life as a content creator making EDU videos. Creating TH-cam videos and doing so much research has ironically brought me to a position in my life where I feel like I know less than I ever have at any point. Even though I technically know more, I recognize more clearly than ever that there is much more out there that not only I don't know, but I don't know that I don't know. Information I can't access, information I can't understand.
    When I was younger, I had so much confidence in what I thought I knew and making videos was so easy. That said, the accuracy often took a hit, because what I didn't know almost existed in in a state of object permanence. I didn't know about it, I didn't think it could exist...
    As I've gotten older the level of research I need to do before I feel confident in what I say in the videos I produce has increased to an almost unhealthy level to a point where I can't even make videos... That could be both in the context of simply getting things wrong, too having an incomplete understanding and subsequently explanation of something. Introducing people to topics in a poor manner. Though I think it's important to know as much as you can about subjects you want to talk about, but I think there is also can be a point where you may recognize that you know so little about things as they exists in their totality that you completely lose your confidence to talk about it all together.
    Is that wisdom? I don't know, Plato* talks about Socrates allegedly being told that he was said to be the wisest of all the Greeks because he alone knew that he knows nothing. I understand that, but how do you tell how much of something you need to know before you really know it? How can you feel confident that you know anything?

    This man has such talent. He's so good at writing and organizing complex thoughts that most people tend to stumble over just the surface of; using perfect vocabulary choice and minute details. He keeps you enthused with his spontaneously odd style of presentation. He always has a conclusion that leaves you dwelling on the message's application in your own life. Vsauce is like a fatherly teacher that wants you to use his knowledge to develop your own ideal, and maybe even help shape your own reasoning. He never infers what you should think, but more so what you might think and why. He's not in it for the money, or the fame. He simply loves learning, and he wants us to join him in his ambition; A beautiful mind that wants to extend itself to others. Thank you, Vsauce for your time imbued content and effort.
