Kevin, this is honestly my favorite video you have made thus far. Loved the narrative structure and thought you used the MET (and their collections) incredibly well. Plus, the montage of Vsauce viewer collections was RAD!
+Jake Roper Thanks dude!!!!!!
+Jake Roper Wasn't your dog somewhere in this Video? :)
+Jake Roper I thought you guys worked together on all vids. ;3 I guess you all make your own awesome content then. ;3
Did you guys remove your April fools video?
Im with Jake this video is far and away my favorite. Probably because ive been a collector my entire life. :)
Wow. That's a lot of information to take in. Allow me to Re-Collect myself.
Ayyyyyyyy
+Kyran Ky lmao!
+Spork25 Well, I prefer to stop and collect my thoughts before watching...
+Spork25 rotfl!
+The Lich God no need to be a spork in their side.
This was a very Michael-ly video and it was top notch, more of these please!
Yup
+NotCallum It was MichaelBackInTheDayWhenHeTalkedAboutGettingInsideABlackWholeAndNotDeepMaths-ly. Don't get me wrong still love Vsauce, but don't you agree his videos became kinda duller and more complicated to follow and his jumpy style doesn't make it easier.
+Wacky Cousins I guess it's just me :)
+Illegitimate Fundamentalist I enjoy it more, Im in college in physics so yea, its fun to me
+Illegitimate Fundamentalist I like it though, as much as the first one. it's not deepmath-lysed, it's just because we you go too deep, math becames the answer.
ps. maybe I'm biased for loving math.
What's the difference between a hoarder and collector?
The smell.
+Shrek T Lol
I don’t get it lol
SciBlast Official / New Videos “hoarders smell bad” not entirely true, but basically assumed to be so.
If you’d like to know why, search up “hoarder houses”
what if he smokes or he never takes a shower or just sprays
It's pretty funny how Vsauce2 has become like classic Vsauce1 and Vsauce3 has become like classic Vsauce2. And Vsauce1 has become like TED Talks.
It's a franchise...
But then what does TED Talk become?

WHAT A LOVELY COLLECTION OF COLLECTORS WITH THEIR COLLECTIONS!

+kevtino someone should start a colection museum where they colect the bodies of colectors and show them next to their colections
+1kili2 agree
Kevin please rename this video A collection of Collectors with their collections lol
+kevtino Didn't appreciate seeing a Saudi in the reel. Anyone from that shithole doesn't deserve positive attention. I don't care if that guy's a good guy, if he's with the Saudis, he's a pig.
This was REALLY great
Wow, you are there?
Before the fame?
Wtf chippy lel
What are you song here? This isn't Terraria
oh hey its chippy
This is the tenth time I've watched this video. Seriously, Kevin. This has to be one of the best educational/interest videos on RUclips. Congrats.
That is awesome - thank you so much!
innit
+Vsauce2 I mean It, mate. Your material is absolute quality.
Thank you for replying to my comment. Out of 3 million+ subscribers. You've made my day.
Kevin! Both this one and your new scurvy one are some of the absolute greatest RUclips videos, man! SO much love and passion was put into these, and it shows! Thanks for making them!
i recommend nerdwriter1 he's a great education/interest youtuber! he makes more videos on artsy topics like music, poetry, movies etc, but also other topics!. Definitely worth checking out!
...it did not kill him, it is what kept him alive...
if he had focused more on his health, he would have lived healthier and longer.
scir 91 Maybe, but I think life is not just about living for as long as possible. People need a purpose and a reason to keep going, and a lot of people would be willing to shorten their lives to have that purpose, whatever it may be.
Video Games Are Fun . Probably not.
I collect money...but it's not going very well.

Yes.

On a side note, collecting can also be a form of memory retrieval. I associate certain memories with particular objects, specifically stuffed animals. I can remember who gave them to me, or particular games I played with them when I was a child. That collection is safely in a rubbermaid tub now, and I've moved onto semi precious rocks. But the same principal applies. I could tell you where I got every rock in my house and I make a point of collecting a new one when I go on trips and such. My friend went to india and brought me back a rock me dug out of the earth for me. So yea, that is another reason people collect.
I collect dust, I just can't stop
But you have stopped one thing... moving.

This is so interesting! Thanks for an awesome video.
+BrainCraft Thanks!!! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!!
+Vsauce2 this is what I wish all of RUclips was like. There is too much RUclips drama and it turns everyone against each other. There should be more colabs and RUclipsrs working together on bigger projects.
Wonderful video. I can't say I've known a person who doesn't collect something (and I've known homeless people). I've only, personally witnessed one hoarder. They had newspapers mostly, several parrots and dogs, mice (I'm pretty sure that was a byproduct of the clutter.) I was installing cable at the time. The stacks of newspaper were all waist high and created a labyrinth throughout the home. They were proud of their collection and tried to share with me, but I was working 16 hrs a day, six days a week and didn't have time to appreciate their passion, unfortunately. I'm sure any person with such a specified passion can embue a wealth of knowledge pretty quickly. My loss.
Yes! Glad to be here ^_^ (and my teddybears are glad, too :D )
+Grizzly Ho fatto un salto quando ho visto i tuoi baffoni arricciati sullo schermo.XD
I love that you're name is Grizzly and you collect bears
Actually is my nick, but all my friends calls me Grizzly, indeed ^_^
May I ask what got you started on your collection?
It started as a simple game: I always said friends and customers "You can call me 'Grizzly', but it's up to you understanding if I'm a ferocious bear or a tiny smiling teddy". Turns out someone decided to gift me a little teddybear for this, and I started keeping them on a shelf. Then I did a couple of big works (a little bbs software in the past and a couple of self-pubblished books) asking to send me a teddybear as a sign of appreciation of my work. Now it's still growing ;)
I collect images I find unique online. There is no box, only 30+ file folders. Some I'm ashamed of, while others I couldn't tell where I got them. Thousands of images. Plants animals objects abstract art, they all are mirrors of me. I archive my thought and stories too. I'm no more or less than these.
Hmm... I thought that I was the only one that collect things and does not notice that I'm actually collecting, I collect music and did not notice that I collected that much ;p
um ur stuff takes no physical space. big difference dude.
I love that
Video Games Are Fun Still a collection, really no difference at all
Days later, I'm still getting goosebumps. That ending monologue and the fans collections, amazing, beautiful and inspiring.
The ending was so beautifully edited, and the music choice was impeccable
Welp
This might explain why I got those 30 000+ Touhou pictures on my disk drive.

I could start a tear collection from how much this episode made me cry. Thank you for making this, and collecting the memories of collectors together to make this amazing video.
I have been collecting Miniature Cars for over 50 years, mostly Matchbox.
Never, besides the older they are the more I played with them and they are dented and scratched up. Would not be worth much anyway.
Dennis Morin Yeah, same here! I'm 26 and have been collecting since my mom gave me my first set before school age. An old Beetle, Cadillac Eldorado, and an early model Ford F-100. All of those are trashed lol. Now I've since collected around 18 cars and counting... hard to collect at around $60 a pop lol. But like you said, older ones were played with and damaged by either me or my younger brothers.
That kind, sympathetic smile at 13:02. He looks so nice and proud of his collection. Bless him!
I'll never look at collections the same way again, I understand their meaning so much better now. Awesome video! Loved every second of it
Is it just me or does the thumbnail looks like Rhett from GMM? I'm tripping lol
No.
+Marcos Amparo NOPE

+Marcos Amparo Maybe a little.
i thought the same thing
That ending 11:49, was so beautiful ... awesome video Kevin
You should do a video about essentialism - the reason an X-Ray of Elvis sells for $3500, but even a perfect copy is worthless. It deserves your explanation and philosophical analysis. I would actually personally be very pleased if you did such a video and also touched on the idea of collection of digital 'objects' because I find it fascinating. At first blush, the concept seems inane, as there is no 'essential' or 'original' combination of bits, and they can be duplicated and spread around with nearly zero effort as perfect copies, and even if I did obtain a 'valuable' set of bits, I would create and move around copies, destroying any 'essential' value. They are inherently only a big number. And yet, if a digital copy of, say, a recording of Kurt Cobain singing 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' for the very first time, existed on my computers hard drive, and no other versions exist, it would be valuable. No one could reproduce it, even if given infinite time and infinite resources aside from knowing what the big number is. And once the last copy was deleted, it would be impossible to reproduce at all. An infinite computer given infinite time could generate the number, sure, but it could not distinguish it from any other number and say 'this one is certainly the recording being sought'.
I would like a collection of Vsauce
I collect coffee. I get a new cups worth every morning. For safety, I store it within myself.
That awkward moment when a 15 minute video teaches you more than one week of school.

Kevin, that was a stunning and heart felt story of a man's life long dedication to something that he really loved !! It even appeared to be the very thing that kept him alive in the end and sadly, without the drive to work on his dream anymore...his body gave up.
The small clips of the collectors at the end of the video invoked some strange feels in me.
Idk man.

I love meeting people who collect things. They’re always so happy to talk about their favourites pieces and what all the differences are and it’s so refreshing to hear someone speak about it with passion :)
Very well done Kevin! I'm not a collector of any kind but I think I can relate to how collected items throughout our lifetime shapes our identity. Looking back at my old toys (I was particularly a huge fan of Pokemon card when I was a young boy), I feel a huge sense of nostalgia and I wouldn't want to lose the things that I've collected and grown up with. You can even say that most of us have a mild degree of Hoarding disorder, especially with things we can never buy back with money.
The same psychology in collecting different items can be observed in artists, as each masterpiece can only satisfy them for so long until they have the urge to create another one, an endless feast on the food for our soul.
the fan videos at the end made my day :')
Q: Why do we collect?
A: Because I can't let someone else have more human heads than I do.
Does that ending look like a collection of people showing their collections?
+Gamepopper101 Collectception?
+Unix One Do u mean...colleption?
Kitty Cat OHHHH! Nice.
Unix One Yep. Nice Nice
yes
I really enjoy looking at others collections even if its not something id normally find interesting. Something about the way people light up and get excited to tell you all about ever single item and the story behind them or how the got them gets me super invested into it. I just enjoy hearing others journeys i suppose c:
I know it's been a while but that ending was so fantastic. I'd love to see a full video showing each person and the thing they collect because wow some of those items and the dedication of the people and just it was so awesome to see and a montage instead of a collage would be so entertaining, especially if each person said something neat about why they do it or which piece they love most.
Thank you! Especially your words at the end were inspiring
Right? The way he thanked those two companies... _sniff_
Hmm mustard
So museums are like official special collections right?
Basically yeah
But are somewhat more prideful because it's a piece of history and culturally appreciated to the public

Well thats cool
A museum is just a collection that's open to the public
I miss mind blow and lut. Mostly miss game lut but still I miss the good ol days of vsause 2 and 3
Gave me chills near the end. One of your best videos.
When I was in high school, my friends took my soda bottle and started drawing on it with a marker. One of them sarcastically told me to keep it forever, four year later I still have that bottle.
I said I'd keep it, I'm gonna keep it.

yeah definitely later. Still a few hours until I'm suppose to wake up, plenty of time. There's always time.
I bet a card of Donald Trump would sell for a small loan...of a million dollars
"...sell for a small loan...."
Seems legit
I have a 1:18 Scale die-cast car collection... nothing overwhelming, partly because they're relatively expensive, but I think a car is a product of art, and having miniature versions of them in a display case in my living room is the equivalent of hanging paintings on the wall to me.
I collect oxygen.

"A nobody like me, a nobody like you"
Thank you, Kevin. I kind of love you for that.
I consider my collection to be a form of shrine building.
And I feel solace at the presence of things that have lived before me,
and will probably outlive me.
Vsauce2 is my new favorite RUclips channel, just saying
A quality video, very professional. I will put this into my collection :D

I knew I'd find some answers in this video. Thanks for the Freud and Jung part. It was a missing piece of puzzle for me to make sense of who I am. I see how certain events from when I was a fetus destined me to be the hoarder I am today. I used to run around the house with a big empty biscuits carton, and collect whatever man-made small objects I find. I later started collecting coins and stamps. I now collect many things. I can't easily let go of normal everyday things. I find sentimental meaning in every little insignificant thing. I reached the point where I materialise my thoughts, and I put each one of my thoughts in a written or recorded form and I save it somewhere safe. I'm trying to stop.
all you people that collect stuff and submitted videos... you're all freaken awesome...
magic the gathering cards must be the best collectible cards of today.. just look at the art!!!
13:09 Din't knew Daniel Radcliffe had a Rubik's Cube collection
How could this be?! I feel...POSITIVE on a Monday. D:
I totally understanding collecting up to a point. I like to collect books, especially old ones, and twisty puzzles (e.g.: rubik type puzzles). I've also collected rocks, crystals, minerals, meteorites, etc. A little geeky, but I'm into those kind of things, and I like to collect them.

Congratulations on a well researched program on colleting. I only wish my recent book had been published by then, Inside the Head of a collector: Neuropsychological Forces at Play. It include neuropsychological, neuroeconomic and behavioral psychology insights never before published as applied to collectors and collecting.
