I recently picked up this hobby of watching pop education videos on youtube. History, science, technology, futurology, philosophy etc. It really passes the time. And a quick 10 minute tidbit is very relaxing.
I especially find the science, technology, futurology, AI videos very uplifting from the usual pessimism I dwell on.

This is like the 6th sense where you find out you are already dead. Except its not just you who is already dead but the entire universe.
As statistically speaking the infinity of time in which the universe is in perfect entropy after the heat death far outweighs how many billion of years galaxies and stars will exist.
In the vast infinity of time, some of that dead matter of the dead universe will collide together and in infinite time some very improbable rare events will occur, such as Boltzman brains. Of course the material configuration of the brain doesn't have to be the wetware of a human brain evolved through evolution. It can be anything that generates those electric waves of thought found in a computer or in wetware neutrons.

Isaac Arthur [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFipeZtQM5CKUjx6grh54g ] does interesting videos about advanced civilisations and space habitation averaging about half an hour.

Maybe its shallow, but for these types of videos I prefer narrators with clear, energetic, unaccented voices and a lot of animation, HD clips and graphics without talking heads.
Anyone else stumble across this guy recently? He does his research when refuting arguments, and due to that, very few people have successfully debunked them.
Nobody retains anything from these videos, also Tabby's star is probably caused by some interplanetary dust. We'll know in about half a year
If you want to watch astronomy related videos I can recommend this man.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEszlI8-W79IsU8LSAiRbDg/videos
He talks clearly and calmly, and doesn't use idiotic images, although he advertises his damn book towards the end of his videos.

So he is taking someone using a dumb insult literally like a extreme autist.
What next, a two hour video about how the term shit head is not scientifically correct?
It is a dumb meme insult that is effective because it pisses off the target of that insult.
How he could miss that simple point is beyond me.

The problem with that is anyone that has used the term shithead has never tried to prove something. When Paul made his first video, he was claiming that soy leads to high estrogen levels in men and tried to use faulty "research" to prove it. Then after people called bullshit on it he was like "oh my god guys is just a meme you spergs xD". I don't personally have a problem with the insult, I have a problem with people who genuinely believe this shit (yes they exist and Paul is one of them).

I wonder if I could make money doing something like this. Youtube ad money is pretty worthless. But with sponsors and patreon it might equal a minimum wage job. And you just use audio and graphics and never even have to show your face.
Not like I have any identity to protect at this point anyway. But as a customer I would prefer just audio and graphics, than some ugly guys' face talking at a screen.

I was looking at the patreon of one of my favorite historical youtubers just to get an idea of what you can make on videos like that. Hes a relatively popular one for that niche topic. 2.7 million views.
$600 for the month. I'll assume thats just for April and its not over yet. But still thats only $7200 a year. We can bump it up to $10k for the hell of it. Thats a nice bonus for pursuing a hobby you love and getting paid for it. But hardly a salary.
I mean it just shows you why working in the system is so much better than all these "creative" ways to make money. You can reach an audience of millions and make $9k. Meanwhile teaching in the suburbs 100 kids a year, gets you $100k.

To be fair, those are totally different positions and aren't really "teachers".
But the original point still stands that an above average teacher's salary for 30 kids in the classroom, is much much better than what any youtube teacher can expect to make reaching millions.

Crash Course-World History, one of their first series done with John Green. The series started out by following the US high school's AP framework combined with cosy imagery and music narrated by a tween star author. The short videos that were palatable in binge sessions allows a series of cherry picked events to become the focal points of a civilisation's essence. I do recommend watching the series- but watch it from a critical viewpoint, not one as an educational one.

Sort of a pointless video, it doesn't tell you anything important that you wouldn't find from the first link on google when searching the topic, except adding in some pointless sciencey fluff. Also, the narrator really misrepresents hydrogen peroxide's valid uses, calling it "completely useless", by tunnel visioning only on it's immediate effects on the human body. Hydrogen peroxide, and bleach which he also mentions, can be used proactively in small amounts to purify drinking water from bacteria, so it is not useless as he tries to make it seem. If you are drinking tap water, or even bottled water, it could very well be beneficial to purify that water with hydrogen peroxide to reduce harmful microorganisms that were picked up somewhere along the line from wherever it originated. The narrator ultimately gets lost in this smug mindset of "I'm right, you're wrong" and forgets to give the complete facts in favor of stroking his ego with all those strawmans at the end. Very amateur, in my opinion, I think it would be beneficial for this youtuber to work on keeping a neutral stance in the future rather than submitting to his ego so much.

I used to keep up with over a dozen of quality channels but I stopped a while ago and barely remember their names. Instead, sets of more longform lectures on a single topic became more appealing to me. You don't have to watch the whole lecture at once and there is a sense of progression as you go through a course. And it doesn't smell like mass-media made with norms in mind as much.

They're religious videos preaching how great and powerful science is to the followers while never exposing them to anything of real depth or value.

A lot of things I took for granted are actually pretty interesting and it seems this is one of them.

It's worse and about as contagious. Bad combination for us humans.

Bubonic plague had a mortality rate of over 50%. The Chinese Flu has a mortality rate of less than 1%. It's really not that bad.

With modern medicine the bubonic plague would have a very low mortality rate. If corona was around 100 years ago it would be really scary, probably much worse than the spanish flu and depending on how well an imunization works or how well immunity builds up it still could be if this thing sticks around for a couple of decades.

>If corona was around 100 years ago it would be really scary
If corona was around 10 years ago it would be treated the same way swine flu was. Without widespread internet literacy the whole "shut down society" thing is kind of impossible. Unless you want people to actually start starving to death.
We have modern medicine now. It's kind of stupid to pretend that this disease is any real threat at all to society when the mortality rate is so low and like 40% of people don't even get any symptoms. In the past, reality would keep media panic loops like this in check, but now that the internet is a thing I suppose we have to look forward to a recession and bureaucrats rushing to erode civil liberties as quickly as possible every time a mildly scary new disease pops up.

Regular flu ~ contagious but mild <1% death rate among the infected
Ebola ~ certain death but not contagious
Covid-19 is somewhere in between. Sure, you may survive it but not before passing it on to 3 or 4 others. Exponential growth ~ do you comprehend it?

The Thought Emporium
When we think of science and scientists, we tend to think of people in perfect white lab coats, working in a shiny and expensive lab. Well I'm here to break that image. From biohacking and biology, to nuclear physics and nanotech, any topic is fair game. I don't just talk about concept and theory, I do the real science. Under controlled conditions, I'll use high voltage, corrosive solutions, extreme temperatures and more to create some very exciting machines and materials. Best of all, I'll show all of it can be done at home using as many off the shelf and DIY parts as possible.

Have no clue why people trust those DNA companies. I've been tempted to order one of those tests in the past just for shits but the idea of my whole genome being locked away in some corporate archive is just too dystopic to consider imo.

I don't know what you are talking about.
It just goes over the research in a objective and scientific fashion with the occasional joke thrown in to keep things from getting too dry.
What do you mean by "normie shit"?
What do you mean by "get better?
Double down on what?

not him but I don't think sociology can be objective, with stats and derivations based on those stats. The case definitely isn't helped by the fact that people casually lie on surveys all the time. I expected a more philosophy based analysis

>I expected a more philosophy based analysis
Why? This isn't a philosophy thread.
Just because you have a bias against the field in general doesn't mean that quantitative methodology can't be applied to sociology, which is the case in the video.

it aint really a bias. quantitative methods applied to sociology, at one particular point in the video, said that 'people who work make more money than those who dont'. This is admittedly the weakest example but even the main point of the video — not working while getting money makes you 'happy' but being 'happy' isn't necessarily a predictor of long term happiness doesn't feel like a profound point. Philosophy is my preferred 'edutainment' because its always profound

Sounds like I upset you. Are you a female?
In general, here are the cognitive faults I find with it:
1 - There's a cognitive trick that's being used VERY frequently recently. Cite the hell out of a bunch of random facts, and then throw in uncited opinions in the middle of that stew. The uncited opinions get taken as true. E.g., and this should come as no surprise that I'm mentioning this as the stickling point given the forum we're on, how the narrator kept harping on about "sex is a human need." Notice the lack of citation on that one? Or, dropping a bunch of studies…and then throwing Nicomachean Ethics in the middle there.
2 - Another trick is to point out cited studies, but no way to actually find them for the actual audience. Or to give a way to find certain studies, but the ones that are really bad studies or studies taken completely out of context you only mention an author without the title at all. This video did a lot of this.
3 - When you can find it, it's either p-hacking (I think the replication crisis is proof enough of this), the author has some pretty severe biases (most meditation studies fall prey to this, if you look into the paper it was either funded by a Buddhist center or one of the authors is a practicing Buddhist, I don't think I've been able to find a meditation study that didn't have one of those two qualities), or the methodology is just poor.
As to your questions:
>What do you mean by "normie shit"?
>What do you mean by "get better?
>Double down on what?
Do they stop playing the whole "You need to have sex and get more friends" angle at any point in the video? In other words, all the stuff that flies in the face of rules 2 through 4 of this board?

I wouldn't hold my breath.
HSR projects tend to be vaporware in the US for a number of reasons.
Until it is actually running and being profitable I will continue to doubt the project.
Super cool if they pull it off though.

I don't know if this is educational, but it was for me because I don't understand metaphors. It was nice to have them explained
>>60146
I think understanding metaphors comes mostly from consuming media for a long time in a mindful way, wondering why each scene is depicted in that specific way, it makes consuming stuff more personal for me, and no matter what crap I consume, there is always something I can get from it that helps me develop probably, maybe I just consumed too much already.

Any good informational YouTube channels without insufferable narration and dumb dramatised crap? I mostly like mysterious eerie rabbit hole type stuff but I like general infotainment type channels too. Here are some I’ve been watching:
- Barely Sociable
- Fascinating Horror
- Half as Interesting
- Kurzgesagt
- Lasy Masquerade
- Lemmino (best YouTube channel I’ve found)
- Real Life Lore
- Vsauce
I liked CGP Grey and Sam O Nella but they don’t upload anymore really.

This is what happens when wikipedia infoboxes become the record of history. Alliances that never existed, form because the nations are neatly lined up in their columns.
Not necessarily false, depending on your definition of support, but highly misleading.
