I am blown away. This is fantastic material for people with Asperger's and high functioning Autisim. I have been trying to understand this my whole life. Brilliant. Thank you.
I would like to thank RSA Animate, and Steven Pinker, for leaving this video up on YT all these years. I use it (and other things by Mr. Pinker) to teach advanced English fluency, and am so grateful it hasn't been pulled down. It's still amazing (and useful), 11 years later!
I'm impressed by how much easier it is to understand the talk when the iconography is added. I have tried to listen to talks by Pinker before and found myself replaying them several times to be sure I understood the gist of it.
The best 10 minutes I have ever spent watching RUclips vídeos. Thanks for posting, this is a game-changer.
+Alex Allan Why do you say it's a game changer? Do you think this knowledge has direct practical applications?
Alex Allan really?
@@martinkunev9911 If you distill the information into practical solutions, then yes. I came here because I formed a postulate about my disposition and I needed some knowledge to understand where the solution may lie.
The solution for me: improve chronic sleep problems, get out and socialize more, practice using innuendoes, practice being in the moment, listen to what people say instead of what I wanted them to say or thought they said.
I lost it when he drew the hyena XD
Also, these are great captions. Would watch my whole documentary playlist again if they had the same momentum and captions as this. I'd be watching for weeks.
I'm going to go look at my etchings now.
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this presentation. Mr. Pinker did an excellent job here. Well done.
I love RSA, they make me feel less alone.
Both the animation and the information in this video are brilliant.
This is the most fundamental thing to consider when it comes to the modern concept of consent. Human interaction is so much more than the words we say out loud to each other. Be weary of the over simplification of complex human interactions.Explicit content is necessarily elusive, so much more information is communicated in its absence.
You mean...yeah no I don't know what you mean. Wait...are you coming on to...someone? If we can always be friends, that would be awesome.
@@n.a.larson9161 Some people are better at it than others, to be sure
@JoshuaKolden I mean, I thought I would go for humor, and maybe you would clarify - but to be clear, what you said lacked clarity. My best guess is you were pointedly opaque for parody purposes. But you were talking about consent, so that makes me wary. And weary.
@@n.a.larson9161 I think you fell for your own lack of clarity reflected back at you. But to address your first reply I'm referring to the value of innuendo. People think overtly clear statements solve communication problems, but they fail to notice the reason overt communication is often avoided. See video for examples.
@@JoshuaKolden I did see the video and it's kind of you to refer me back to it. This new statement is clear and that's helpful. It's helpful because your first one wasn't. So we're all being clear and straightforward, sometimes ambiguity is okay or even better. But there are risks to ambiguity, too, and many times the pros of direct and careful language outweigh the cons. See the direct communication of the instructional video for example.
these are so brilliant and enlightening. definitely makes my day whenever you guys post one of these.
This was art - both the talk and the animation.
I retained more in this medium that most lectures I have seen in my whole life...
I feel like Sheldon Cooper chilling with unordinary people when I watch your contents guys.
It really is a relief.
Very well and laboriously explained with word-art and sequence. Language is really a huge window into the soul.
these videos are absolutely amazing, seriously blown away.
These talks + videos brighten and excite my day. Gives me so much to think about. Thank you!
Love the RSA videos and the beautiful visuals that elegantly illustrate complex ideas. Awesome!
dude you are awesome, i love these videos keep it up. (and the discussion here sounds interesting, love it)
Amazing video! Language is the bridge between your mind and the physical world. It's a beautiful thing.
I was waiting for a Pinker video! Thanks!
this video brought me to tears. keep up the good content
ANOTHER AMAZING RSA VIDEO, really interesting perspective(s)
You have no idea how much this helped me...
I can't get enough of these videos,,,,,,keep up the good work.
This is amazing!!! It was like a drug watching it. Thanks! :)
I loved this. I don't think I've ever subscribed o a channel based on a single video before. Hope to see more like this!
This is brilliant, I love it!
keep up the great work guys, I'm loving it!
Wow this is so great!
Amazing video and presentation as always, glad I subscribed
Once again - excellent work!
one of the most insightful talks i've ever seen
That was awesome.
Intriguing talks and one of the best RSAnimate animations! The letters in the palace squares was ingenious, the etchings, Gok Wan (LOL!)
thx a lot for posting this.
These are so awesome, everyone should watch.
Great work, once again!
Fantastic video.
That was a very interesting video. I love listening to people talk about the complexity of language :)
James Shuler you don’t say. *wink wink*
I enjoyed this....
relationships and communication issues are always starnger than the truth...
wow.. that was pretty awesome actually
This gave my 16-year-old mind a lot to think about, should watch it over and over
Loved this!
This video helps us to improve our mutual understanding. Thank you for sharing.
that was awesome. explicitly said what we all thought to make it mutual knowledge.
Wow, this made me realize where have I done wrong sometimes in my life...good thing RSA could turn this into mutual knowledge!
after first seeing one of these videos, i disregarded it as superfluous in an egotistical reaction. i was in awe of how powerful this idea is. It is obviously a tremendous achievement to get nearly one million views for these academic talks
Outstanding presentation and analysis
Another good RSA Animate! - Kudos!
About the only way I sit through one of these talks. Animating them makes ALL the difference IMHO :-)
Wow that was incredibly deep,I never realised that language had such profound implications.
RSA animate is a treat in the subscription box.
Your videos totally eclipse all the other platitudinous tat on RUclips, they're fantastic!
Very nice, as part of Intro to Psychology we're learning about human language; this video nicely built on some of the areas of language we didn't delve into!
Awesome. Makes sense.
Woot! Thanks for listening to the requests about zooming out to see the whole thing, very cool indeed
Wow, what a great video!
Wow, no wonder this is so popular. You've combined good art with good speeches about science!
amazing as always
Love your work thank you
Splendid!
I love those, its brilliant
i really liked this one , learnt alot - thanks !
THe bit where he is talking about revolutions can also apply to the internet as well. Where a person points out something on say Facebook, he is making it clear how he feels, allowing others to show they feel similarly, making internet forums, effectively an online public square.
Awesome, as always :)
Beautiful!
fabulous, as always :)
Fascinating.
Wow, what a great video, what a work !
@crazyteamcrew Print of our posters are available from our external animation partner Cognitive Media's website :)
Awesome analysis.
This is (thank you, Steven Pinker) awesome.
Ye, interesting, and once again; Great illustrations!!
this is awesome
Very intriguing, excellent presentation!
I learned so much in such a short period of time..
Awesome.
Touché!
Very interesting, Great video.
Brilliant.
Incredible talk and animation good job!
Got to love Gok Wan in the background in the Emperor's New Clothes sketch!
possibly this and Slavoj Zizek's first as tragedy then as farce are my favourites so far. As a young philosopher, these animates are priceless to me.
Amazing....simply amazing...there, direct and mutual. x
This is fantastic!
I love these... more....more!
Great video, thank you.
Wonderful, mind-blowing stuff
brilliant!
Pinker is an artist with words
well done!
Very well articulated!
Ah! Love this, very nice!
Very nice, I love these speeches, very intellectual also really just opens your eyes to the everyday norm which we seem to have become oblivious from.
Thank you!
Very deep, thanks!
Interesting stuff to take into consideration; subscribed
I've missed these kind of videos
I totally lost track of the great lecture staring at these fantastic drawings. I mean, how fast does this guy sketch?! :)
