I started to watch this channel solely because of the factual stuff, still do, but you guys are starting to grow on me. Its great stuff you're doing. Thanks!
Rottensteam Thank you!
Rottensteam Hecks yeah my friend. I totally adore SciShow and everything they do.
That whole "snakebites kill more people annually than war and natural disasters combined" is intentional misdirection. If you only count the individual year, then *SOMETIMES* that is true. The absolute highest estimates are at around 90k deaths in a *bad* year for snake bites.
Not counting 2014, the average over a 10 year period of deaths caused by natural disaster alone sit around 54k for just the first half of a year (averaging out to 90-100k on an *average* year). Then you have to factor in catastrophic events like the tsunami 2004 that killed over 300,000 people. The Earthquake in 2010 in Hati that killed over 200,000 people.
The "snakes are deadlier than natural disaster and war" is such complete horse shit. Natural disasters, and especially WAR have killed far, far FAR more people than snakebites ever have. If you count pandemics / pathogens as natural disasters that number goes even higher.
d4rk0v3 PREACH!
Hank Green: "I'm the Show in Sci Show thank you very much!"
lol
I would have liked to learn a little more about the snake and less about cause-of-death statistics once Jessi came out. All I learned about the snake is it lives in north-east North America, that is hisses a lot, and that it mimics the Rattlesnake.
I really thought hank was just being really harsh... Thanks for clarifying friendship
Sammy Tortoise Ya, it took me aback as well!
Sammy Tortoise Huh. Seemed very obvious he was joking to me. I don't think Hank is capable of being mean.
"If it seems like we're enemies, it's because we're friends." I need to remember this quote. It is relevant to my life. lol
The biggest problem in the world is that a vast majority of its population believes in some sort of mythical being that lives in the sky that will send you to be tormented and tortured for all eternity if you don't believe in him.... But he loves you.
People should believe in science and not fiction. In fact, to quote one of the greats, "I don't want to believe. I want to know."
Possibly the best SciShow Talk Show yet. :) Thanks for the thought provoking discussion!
Owned in the first 30 seconds! Well done Hank! You rock, well, you chemistry, you got mass, you got energy, you matter!!
Such a great episode! I was glued from start to finish!!
I'm really loving these talks.
Jeremy was fascinating. I would have enjoyed hearing more from him about his book and the topic of world health. Hank, have you ever thought about doing longer-form interviews - perhaps similar to Kevin Rose's Foundations series?
Why do I find death records so incredibly fascinating? Definitely going to buy this book!
Damn, I was getting nervous of Jessi punching Jeremy in the face...
So much sass between hank and jeremy. Love it.
This episode was really interesting and totally hilarious !! The best talk show yet.
Great show coming from your pub/science room!
9:58 if you want to jump, straight to the snake
Babagump Don't jump
CRAFT
***** I never do this is great content. I love Hank and friends lol
Babagump Death records are interesting.
I want references for his snake bite/animal contact deaths
But... What aboutthe snake? I want tot know more about the snake!
EVERYbody tries to mimic rattlesnakes ... the other day we had a rat snake come into the courtyard of the shop where I work, and flipped out a customer because it was hissing and vibrating its tail in some dead leaves. She was convinced it was a rattler. I wasn't persuaded, looked it up & identified it as non-venomous, and we left it alone and it went away on its own in a few minutes. But she was all ready to beat it to death because "RATTLESNAKE!!!!11!!!" when it just needed a little time and space to excuse itself.
jessies face when the guy tried to say more people die from snakes then war. I think what he wanted to say was people are bitten/harmed by snakes more, but not killed. I'm sure hospitals are aware of the deadly critters in the area, and have anti-venoms and antidotes available. The most deadly creature is arguably the mosquito, not snakes. Snakes definitely dont kill more people than wars combined.
He sounds like his was trying really hard to have something to say ._.
I would love it if the team could circle back with the scientists they interviewed over the years. Check in on their progress and new projects!
Just a note from the medical field: heart failure is specific. Yes if you're dead we assume your heart has failed but there is a very specific disease, sometimes referred to as congestive heart failure. Sometimes this disease is the result of multiple heart attacks, or rheumatic heart disease or even congenital defects, but that's not what the ultimate cause of death. If you'd like "specifics" you could have a death certificate read heart failure secondary to multiple MI, but the rub there is we don't always know why a patient developed CHF, sometimes it's an idiopathic disease all its own.
~12:00 in. I actual wear snakegaurds when I'm on survey. They are like the shin guard soccer players wear, but cover your whole leg up to a few cm under the knee.
This book seems incredibly interesting! Bought it on my kindle 7 minutes into the video! Hopefully this will help me decide what I want to devote my life to.
The biggest problem in the world is the Tec-9 in CS:GO
Scar-20 ties the Tec-9 imo.
frikkthoen nah the fact the tec9 is availible at the start of any match makes it worse than the scar.
Gamerfreak but it just got nerfed m8
Limede45
They didn't nerf any of the problems with it. It is still super accurate while moving, and still can 1 shot people in the head, with helmets.
Gamerfreak But it can't 1 shot headshot at range. The P250 can 1HHS at close range to people with helmets. The fact that the AWP was nerfed made no sense. No one complained about it unless they sucked.
came for hank, stayed for Jessi
Great episode! p.s. Have you heard about Jake's Bones? I think that kid would be an awesome Skype interview or something, or whenever he is in America. Great example about how kids can be scientists :)
I believe that the Human condition itself is the biggest problem facing the planet today
this video is amazing, great topic
Jeremy Smith, the finnish is the ones with the saunas bro. Don't really see too many over here in Norway ;)
First of all, I love the show and I really enjoy learning about Animals and off-Topic.
What really bothered me this time, was the claim, that more people DIE from Snake bites each year then from all War and natural desaster combined. I would love to see the data he refers to.
You can clearly see how Jessi is also very sceptical about this and does not believe him one bit.
Also Jeremy is very much influenced by his obvious fear of snakes, does he REALLY believe the snake just falls on him and he will die? Please... . It got so hard to watch after the 11:30 minute mark.
This was surprisingly funny and enterteining. I'm thinking "Hank sits with friends and talks" would be a rather cool thing to watch. Or maybe listen, ala "Hello Internet".
This is like what Aaron Caroll was talking about a few weeks ago on HCT, measuring "QUALY's" ([years of life] x [quality of life during those years as a %]) instead of just years of life
I wanna wrap myself around Jessi.
I feel as if Freya did not get her fair share of time. Jeremy monopolized the show.
Ditto! He really did. Hope she brings Freya along again for a future show.
I remember there was a SciShow quiz show where Jessi put a boa on Hank as like a handicap and Hank was nearly petrified, apparently very scared of the boa. But here, he didn't seem especially scared of the Pine Snake. I thought he was scared of Snakes, but apparently he's just scared of Boas.
I think the biggest problem is the slow but sure rise of the superbugs. They are resistant to even our most powerful antibiotics. I believe that not enough people know about them and should focus more of our attention into research on how to battle them.
P.S I love Sci Show
We have antibacterials, we need to develop a general anti virus. By that I mean something you take internally like a drug that only attacks virus. Not just a treatment to help someone feel better but to actually get better. Something you can take AFTER exposure for something like HIV or rabies.
The biggest problem with the world is fundamentally one word... "why". All of science, philosophy, and human history has been trying to solve this fundamental problem of "why".
"Assuming that dogs arent aliens"..... Sold!!
I reached the same conclusion on the reduction of health and life expectancy of the paralyzed after watching the video of ASAPsciense: "Are you sitting too much?"
This was great
+scishow could you please help me here. Is there a term for what Mr. Smith is referring to here
What does he call these unacknowledged events or ailments that don't end up factoring into statistics?
I would gladly appreciate your help.
So global epidemiology. It's a thing and it's really not just a vacuum where nothing meaningful was going on. I'll be interested to read the book and get more details.
Is there a podcast available for this?
As a romanian and specifically as a romanian that has studied as an amateur economics especially why Germany and Scandinavia are success stories while the rest of the world is terrible, I think the world biggest problems or among the biggest is government corruption. If laws are not enforced or enforced selectively, if the private sector is allowed to run amok but also if the private sector isn't allowed to make any wealth if government doesn't make he necessary investments in things only gov can do like roads and research of public interest.... Then EVERYTHING goes to shit. Government corruption is really bad.
i am going to go with allergies. 1 in 3 people in the 1st world (fewer in less developed) suffer from allergies usually for their whole life. but maybe i think it is a bigger problem because i suffer from seasonal allergies.
That girl with the snake is awesome
And just how many of those people bitten by snakes were hitting them with sticks or trying to pick them up? How many of those people did Darwin bet against?
Don't walk around in a storm with a lightning rod and don't try to handle (or even approach) venomous (when in doubt assume it's venomous) snakes without extensive experience or supervision. Common sense.
I like what his book is going on, because we often don't seek answers to questions that we think we already know the answers to. We also often don't account for the secondary and tertiary implications of our actions nor the notion that the death of someone is a secondary or tertiary implication of another root cause, so we often overlook what is the true cause of death. Like, in the US of A, the statistics of heart attack are significant compared to the rest of the world, but why is that? You may say 'statistics show that obesity is very common among Americans, thus higher cholesterol may be the cause!' But why in Americans specifically? That's just an example to illustrate the concept that could be applied to many many more scientific phenomena.
I would pay money to have a party in that bar !
War is the biggest problem in the world. Without war we would be able to work together to solve the rest of our problems.
"The name is Freya, remember it."
As someone named Freya who owns snakes I approve
Death rates is not a thing I ever heard being talked about and I personally have never looked into other than the quick search about death rates in America and so on. It was very interesting the whole way through, although that snake bite thing seems completely misleading.
Nice vid.
I have a theory that if you map out the brain and all its synapses you will be able to understand and begin to manipulate the workings with either pharmaceuticals or treatment to manipulate brain chemistry that brings about a more healthy individual resulting in change.
It's good to talk about causes that end quality of life, but how about ending productivity? And is there a necessary correlation? Few would deny that ALS causes decline in quality of life--but look at Stephen Hawking. But again, look at Jacquelyn DuPre with MS. Or the person who is in an auto accident and spends the rest of his life collecting disability payments from the insurance company, water skiing in Bermuda. The complexities of honestly assessing such data are immense--which doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Interesting show, as usual. Thumbs up for pine snakes.
Is "Freya" short for "Gallifrey" because that's what we named our Jack Russel Terrier!! :
Will Clow Freya is a Norse goddess.
***** I know, and that's a bonus, but Gallifrey!
The biggest problem in the world is that my sandwiches get moist if i keep them in the fridge to long, and they get really hard to eat.
JUST IMAGINE for a second what the creator of us all"THE EARTH" would be without HUMANS???
I have definitely mistaken a pine snake for a rattle snake in the wild before.
Romeo Cote But I am to embarrassed to admit I got it wrong, so when people tell the story I still say it was a rattle snake. *shhhh...* Don't tell any one.
Now see this? This is how you target your market.
I'd imagine maybe a book sold per hundred views, just because nerdfighters love awesome, and statistics are awesome.
Just pre-ordered it.
Hi, I wonder if there are any stat's on how many unlucky people encounter multiple possible death causing things but live through them?
I have been bitten by a blackwidow spider,a snake and a swarm of Bees.
I have also had multiple strokes,sepis,severe blood loss and now Kidney failure.
I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Until it kills you:) Thanks.
I'm gonna say it! FIRST!!
Does anyone else think Jeremy Smith looks a lot like Charles Epps from Numb3rs?
Is this guy related to the video bakery guy
with the representative people did they also include people with the same conditions?
i suppose a blind man and a sighted man have different opinions on how bad it is to be blind
I am not sure what could be gained by getting people to vote on what conditions are worse than others? I may not have understood it properly.
I'd say for a lot of conditions anyway people are affected widely differently, for example I have ME/CFS and I'm mostly bed bound, some people can go to school or work with the same illness. I assume it's the same for many other conditions. I wonder whether this was taken into account?
Apologies if this doesn't make sense
Is 'old age' or 'natural causes' a category for cause of death? Although I don't suppose that ranks to high in the grand scheme of things ;)
I admit I watch the animal segment first, then the talkshow part v_v
The biggest problem in the world is lack of reversing time
it was @ 10:03 that jeremy realized he F*cked up!
I thought Hank was being really sassy for a sec
Food. Definitely the biggest problem in the world is food distribution
the biggest problem is over populating, over populating is responsible for poverty, hunger, capitalism, climate change, exhausting our natural resources, and no one will say this because discussing the solution will be difficult.
Lack of sanitary waste removal, and lack of clean water to drink.
World wide snake bites win over lightening strikes for number of fatalities
Jessi was not happy about Jeremy saying snake bites kill a lot of people...
Jessi was thinking, *How? not the way i handle them......you weakling* : P
PS No sexual innuendo you damn perverts!
PPS How funny is it seeing a statistician arguing with someone from the medical/veterinary community....both were awesome!
Dang Hank, you sassy.
From a health perspective, Viruses. How do we treat viruses except just helping our immune system fight them?
Other than that, aging.. death. There is no reason anybody has to die, but people love to collect coins rather than help fix our common problems.. Humans love collecting stuff and always have. Perhaps money is the biggest issue? We need a system that doesn't encourage people to collect money, things, stuff, because that doesn't solve any problems.
She hates him :P, giving snakes a bad wrap.
at 4:29 wow, everybody becomes Norweigan sometime between the ages of 5 and 85?!?!?!?? Also later on, would injecting yourself with the wrong concentration of snake venom and dying count as an animal related death or suicide?
I understand the argument that you can't say someone died of heart failure or brain failure since everyone does, but, when you're looking for the cause of death, you're looking for what organ was the first to fail and had a problem that was specific to it. For example, if you died of a heart attack, that is heart failure. You could blame it on obesity, fear, infection, cancer, smoking, physical damage, etc, but the primary cause of death was that the heart stopped. So that being said, if you said the person died due to bad cholesterol, that's equally as vague as heart failure. So to me, it'd make more sense to have a primary and secondary cause of death.
im at 3;33 of the video
and the guest is saying some BS; that we don't have a big picture of the leading cause of death/suffering from diseases in the world.
well, we do. It is measured by the burden of disease, and the units used are
1. disability-adjusted life year (DALY) is a measure of overall disease burden, expressed as the number of years lost due to ill-health, disability or early death
2. And QALY; same thing but Quality of life
See this link from the world health organization for the global burden of disease
www.who.int/topics/global_burden_of_disease/en/
The title of this episode should have been: A million ways to die (not just in the West) :D
Valar Morghulis!
Lag causes the most violence in american households
+Ankith Laichetty So we should fund fixing that
Hey so the thing that kills the most people, the biggest problem in the world: Poverty
yeah I know this is a super old video but I don't think that ever changes.
The biggest problem on Earth is the fact that we can't just all get along mixed with a little ignorance.
A little ignorance can be the difference between being dead & alive.
i though he was Dr. Octopus for a second
my history essay
The biggest problem in the world is how our society works. Our life is driven by scarcity.
biggest problem in the world: the eventual heat death of the universe
Clean water?
Hmmm, I would of thought cancer would be the biggest problem. It's scary as fuck.
All this joking about death, I almost thought I was listening to the Podcast.
The biggest problem in the world, is a result of many little problems combined.
