Why coffee makes you more tired: from data visualization to seeing systems | EYEO Festival 2022 Talk

- The talk I would have given in person at EYEO Festival 2022 if a certain virus hadn't paid me a visit the day before it started.
It's the story of my longing to see the big picture, which I put toward data visualization after seeing Hans Rosling's amazing presentation.
But, as my baffling relationship with caffeine soon revealed, what I wanted wasn't "data visualization" so much as "system visualization". I wanted a way to understand the complex social systems that shape our world. A way to see & reason about them.
This is a larger question I'm exploring in this era of my life.

Hi, commnity! This video was unlisted for a long time, but I wanted to make it public because it's a hint at where this channel is heading on a deeper level.
This talk is a bit niche. But the videos going forward will lean in this larger "systems-y" direction: digging into the systems -- starting with the creative ones -- that secretly run our world.
I want people to see the big picture in a way they have never before, and feel clarity on how to thrive within it.
When you watch the next video (on the dark side of MrBeast), I think you'll recognize some of these ways of looking for the system (TH-cam as a platform) beneath the symptoms (MrBeast-like content).
If this tickles your interest, I'd love to talk, or feel free to checkout this article I wrote:

thanks for the update. also great CTA in this pinned post too
Love this one! Really clarifying way to look at it.
Johnathon, thanks so much! That means a lot coming from you: I've been so inspired by your video work. My MrBeast doc was directly inspired by your ideas from in "TH-cam is Broken" (my doc is ad-free, too, actually!)
Every month or so, when I'm thinking about what it means to make an amazing visual essay, I think about your "Stripped-Down Sci-Fi". I actually teared up watching it. I see that you've since moved on from TH-cam largely, but I hope you know what an uplifting impression your work has made on me, as I've stumbled on it years later.
Hope you're well, sending peace your way.
Great vid, you are awesome at presenting !
Hey, thanks, Josh, that's really encouraging!
I do have to give some credit where it's due: it was pretty chaotic prior to Michelle Jia and Vishesh Gupta giving me lots of coaching on the words & visuals.
Watching this while having my 2nd coffee today 🙈 Very interesting take and I like the way you are explaining your findings. Good luck for your upcoming videos, I look forward to see you taking this new direction in your videos!
Thanks, Hajni, that means a lot ❤️ Everyone’s body is different though haha so maybe coffee is the way to go for you :)
Love this, reminds me of the Dialectic processes in life. Good on you for taking this risk with a new style, the more your personality comes through the more people will come to the videos :)
@vitustheviking your comment means a lot, thanks for saying that. As a creative, I want to be learning & growing with/from viewers, so it means so much to have you on the journey, chiming in & encouraging me, too!
I'd love to learn more about the Dialectic processes in life you mentioned -- is there a book or work I could start with?
same lol. I remember being in my early 30s and finding out what dialectic meant and it changed how I learned and how I argued positions(which of course is a more combative/community form of learning)
I was analysis your channel and realised the change in your videos how it helped grow the channel perhaps.. I can be wrong .
At this point, 99% of my channel growth came (and went) with the Johnny Harris video haha :D
well that video gets you hooked.. its fast and first 30 seconds keeps changing images every second @@itsdavidmora
@@buildfba Agreed! I do think speed is important, good point!
Okay thank you just had my coffee and was going to study but now I am going to sleep bye David
Hi five from India
Love it! :D
Enjoy studying/sleeping!
As a side note , those with adhd will get sleepy with increased caffeine
Super interesting, I didn't know that! I'll have to look into why that is... Thanks!
Neurochemical thing I think, like the disruption of the noradrenaline levels in the brain.
ive made bad decisions in my life. nothing crazy but definitely a typical guy. that said, i always knew to avoid coffee lol. i love how it taste but everyone around me was so dependent on it so I would always just get a hot chocolate lol
Haha, glad to hear it! Yeah, coffee dependency is real, glad you're living the hot chocolate life :D
TED Talk coming when? You're very easy to follow when you speak 👍
Aww, you're making me blush 😊You're so affirming, thank you.
I'll give mine shortly after you give yours on how you made it as an animator 😀
You covered Johnny Harris videos showing the relevant topic, then providing context. Why not try that formula? Especially here, where you can use it as an excuse to visit family, etc.? 🙃
Good point! I originally recorded this for a remote talk I was giving, and just shared that as-is here, but I think you're right this could be conveyed much better with show-then-tell. Maybe it'll find a new (and better) form in a future video. Thanks!
