i never thought “i am death” would be a comforting statement
I'm surprised you never mentioned Plato's ontology. Throughout the whole video my brain was crying for it, this would solve so many of the posed questions!
Plato would probably say a chair is a piece of furniture for one person to sit and lean back on. What happens if you remove some atoms from it? If you can sit on it, it's still a chair. When does it stop being a chair? When you can no longer sit on it.
I agree he did not talk about the purpose.
That's extremely easily refuted, though. For any definition, you can find an object that clearly SHOULD be included in the definition but isn't, or something that SHOULDN'T but is. By your definition a bar stool isn't a chair and an examination table is.
Hell, there's a famous example of this in popular consciousness; Plato's definition for a man was a featherless biped, so Diogenes came out with a plucked chicken yelling "BEHOLD, A MAN!" You may as well not even entertain the idea of existence through definition unless you go to the extreme he brings up in this video.
If we're gonna follow what you say, that would make me think that a wall is a chair because I can lean my back on it and be in a sitting position - oh, same goes for the floor or the ground. Wait, so the whole surface of the Earth is a Chair??? A PERSON is a chair because you **can** sit on them! Does that mean horses, camels, and elephants are ALL chairs as well because we actually sit on them, on purpose, for travel? Are cars and bicycles just... "moving chairs"?
We can go on and on, but at this point, almost everything can be called a chair. Then does **it** really exist? Because by that logic a "chair" becomes a concept we apply to things but not a thing itself. So the object in the thumbnail and what is beside Micheal is not 'a' chair but an assembled wooden frame that can function as the chair. I can also conclude then that the same wooden frame is a table because I can use the square surface to place my dinner so I can eat. Oh look, now it's actually just a Table which we happen to sit on.
Doesn't seem like that line of thought sufficiently answers the question imo! 😂
_sits on a chicken_
behold
plato’s chair
Everyone else when they see a chair: Sit
Michael when he sees a chair:
"hmm yes, salty"
Micheal: what is salty am I real is chair real is wood real is trees real are my pants real
mmmm salt
If that's a oversimplified reference, there's gonna be a tax for that.
Normal people when they see a donut in a toilet: ew
Michael when he sees a donut in a toilet:
Hmm yes food (begins consumption)
Hm yes, ass flavour

No, it's just some simples Wendy's-ing.
Wonderful video Michael. One thing I would say is that to me a composite object 'exists' as long as it is more that the sum of it's parts. Okay, you might ask, but what do I mean by this? It means that it has some property for which the simples it contains are more important than the simples it doesn't contain. E.g. the atoms that make up a chair are important in allowing you to rest your butt on it. Existence is therefore a state of being in relation to an intelligence e.g. us. Stuff enters our horizon of understanding and things come into existence. I would not consider the 'incar' to exist because it does have any unique properties that cannot be understood be considering the garage and car separately.
I love how the more complicated things get, the more informal their names are

Thank you for making this video. I will need to watch it many more times to hopefully try to grasp all points. But, just from watching once I have to say, it is the best and most important video you've ever made. Cheers to you!

“I am Death, and I am the scattering.” ~Vsauce Michael
That’s a metal af quote.
Honestly, Oppenheimer doesn't have shit on Mr. Vsauce after that quote.

I think the preceding line is necessary to get across the quote's essence:
"We are not the universe seeing itself. We are the seeing. I am not a thing that dies and becomes scattered. I am death, and I am the scattering."
Reminds me of the famous Nietzsche quote, “I am not a man, I am dynamite”

Thank you for spoiling the video
hahah yeah
I find this stuff fascinating, i remember i wrote an essay that delves in a similar concept, to me, it all comes down to purpose and cause, things are a specific object based on it’s relation to the environment and the human perception of it’s purpose, just like how we perceive color but it doesn’t really exist.
A chair is a piece of furniture with a raised surface supported by legs, commonly used to seat a single person. Chairs are supported most often by four legs and have a back; however, a chair can have three legs or can have a different shape. Chairs are made of a wide variety of materials, ranging from wood to metal to synthetic material (e.g. plastic), and they may be padded or upholstered in various colors and fabrics, either just on the seat (as with some dining room chairs) or on the entire chair. Chairs are used in a number of rooms in homes (e.g. in living rooms, dining rooms, and dens), in schools and offices (with desks), and in various other workplaces.
A chair without a back or arm rests is a stool, or when raised up, a bar stool. A chair with arms is an armchair; one with upholstery, reclining action, and a fold-out footrest is a recliner. A permanently fixed chair in a train or theater is a seat or, in an airplane, airline seat; when riding, it is a saddle or bicycle saddle; and for an automobile, a car seat or infant car seat. With wheels it is a wheelchair; or when hung from above, a swing. An upholstered, padded chair for two people is a 'loveseat', while if it is for more than two person it is a couch, sofa, or settee; or if is not upholstered, a bench. A separate footrest for a chair, usually upholstered, is known as an ottoman, hassock, or pouffe.

"There is no spoon" this video is a pretty good analysis of one of the major themes of The Matrix. I feel like you could make Deleuze relatively accessible to people; the concept of the rhyzome is pretty close to this. I'd love to see you do a video on nomadology and the war machine.
Also, did I miss it, or did you choose to leave out Buckminster Fuller's "I seem to be a verb?" He spoke often at length on that idea.
16:28 its like the corpse to water ratio
There are plenty of corpses in the ocean, but we still swim in them, yet if you put one in a pool, no one would swim in the pool. Therefore, everyone has a specific corpse:water ratio
Jokes aside, I think we need to appreciate exactly how much work went into this video. We have just watched a meticulously researched video, for which Michael read multiple book & articles, found examples to describe every philosophical viewpoint, and presented it in an interesting and engaging way. You just watched a 37 minute video about the existence of chairs, and weren't bored at all. Praise this man.
That's VSauce for ya. I know this guy is prime meme material but his videos are legit amazing and I think that's why so many people are attracted to them. He has a really great Ted talk about this, how he invites people with a big, seemingly unanswerable question, just to "accidentally trick them into learning something along the way" (in this case an introductory course in ontology). He's hands down one of the best things the internet ever created
That's every episode of Vsauce. He's the only man who can post every 2 years and still keep his audience happy. That's pretty big brain.
But what does it mean to have... A big brain? *Vsauce theme starts*
vsauce is amazing. I appreciate how much work they put into their videos. you gotta read tons and tons of articles to make a single video because you need to dive into the topic and see it from several points of view. it's kinda like a rabbit hole
@@withnosensetv even the explanation behind his choice of channel name is quite fun, and in it knowledge is hidden.
Gotta love him, he's a teacher trying to sneak knowledge into our minds lol.
@@FriskMeemur I thought he used to upload much more frequently before he landed a contract with youtube and went to making exclusive YT Red videos?
never seen a more questioning and cryptic video title
Welcome to vsauce
@@urmad2873 Where are your fingers?
why do most people in top comments never consider the context before commenting or just comment silly stuff. Yea its funny most of the time but still misleading and distracting from what vid is all about. I am not against your comment, but sure the context is more important than the title right?
me in tok:
tok teacher: if you sit on a table is it a chair?
@@spacebarbarian._ I feel like parts of the answer are in your comment. They know the context but the point of the joke is that their comment is misleading. That’s the joke. Maybe they’re making the joke bc of the content of the video or because, like in this case, the title of the vid is one like this one.
I've watched this for atleast 3 times, it still goes over my smooth head.
"is he talking about linguistics, philosophy or fundamentalism?"
"yep"
Next vid: "Splunge"
:-)
ontology
It's a review of philosophical fundamentalism within linguistics. Or a linguistic critique of fundamentalist philosophy.
"I AM Death, and I AM the scattering." Michael always knows the right words to say to make me feel better
I involuntarily shouted WOW and got goosebumps when he said that.
Best final words!
@Vladimir Novitski give shia labeof a run for his money

Breaking bad I am the danger
Maybe Michael can make a video to explain this.
How does my body know where its limits are supposed to be?
Example:
Accidently took a decent chunk out of my leg with a chain saw.
Over a long period of time with me tending to it it fills in the missing flesh, skin, and maybe the hair folicls.... and even the floppy bit that reattached shrank back down into position.
It filled the missing gouge back in to the original boundry, that had no cells in it and none that were originally there....
If my body can 3d map out every cell and its proper location.... what stops it from reduilding limbs....
This has to be my favorite Vsauce video
"I am death, and I am the scattering" -- Most metal thing Michael has ever said.
Someone needs a power scale Michael off of that statement that he just made there about him being death and the scattering how powerful does this make Michael if we take what he said literally.
I am become death, the destroyer of worlds
that’s literally exactly what i said
@@izzymosley1970 If he is death itself than that already makes him beyond everything that is capable of dying (because in the end he’ll outlive everything). If this is true then he is at least multiversal+
out of context vsauce just got a lot more intimidating
Every time he says “Exceeeeppttt”, it’s like entering the next level of a game. Except, instead of a game, it’s some ever evolving convolution of madness and philosophical information.
good one :D
this is not a comment its a bunched up amount of letters bytes
"But is it?"
Y
Watching at 4AM hits different. Like a punch in the groin.
The slice of cheese in the shirt 😂 great video though as always - very witty and entertaining yet educational and thought provoking. Premium content! 👌
Vsauce: "Do chairs exist?"
2 million people sitting on a chair: "Hmm interesting"
Lol..very under rated comment
But are those 2 million people actually "people" or atoms people-ing
@@miguelbenavides9160 are those atoms atoms or are they atoms atom-ing
That's a big chair
*laughs in bed*
Only vsauce can end a video calling himself death while not sounding delusional
We as humans have a problem of categorizing "things" into boxes.
The photon is a wave, which when observed, becomes a particle. But the word becomes is wrong, because the photon is both a wave and a particle, it is us who categorize it, bringing it's form into reality.
So too is the chair a wave, a group of simples, which when observed, is a chair.
By simply observing something we can completely change it's reality.
I love how Michael is fully aware of a memes surrounding him, and likes to play with them.

"I am not a thing that dies and becomes scattered. I am death, and I am the scattering."
holy shit michael
”You’re scaring me Walt”
"now I've become death, destroyer of worlds"
scat
After death there is no "I", therfore no ontological definitions, so "he" is not "the scattering". I say.
@@SerenityReceiver "he" is just using 'I' to make us ᴾᵉᵃˢᵃⁿᵗˢ comprehend a point which the context of was constructed or "composed" throughout the video :D
