      @raul 1000 well educational system isn't the only place we do majority of our study and learning. Even in an educational system we learn lot of others things ranging from studying mathematical formulas to laws of nature that we can observe and understood. critical thinking, pattern recognition, cross examination, deduction and observing gathered knowledge are the building blocks to create new ideas. yes we do credit whoever that set forth the theory or idea, we do observe and study people or event from the past. but more often than not its knowledge that set forth that we find more valuable. so even in this clip when Neil says he want the things he taught to lived on and understood more so than him. That's not because he want to appear just humble but rather ideas and knowledge that he set forth have far more value to the humanity as a whole.

      Concerning Neil DeGrass Tyson, I encourage you not to be deceived. Soon, God will judge the world in righteousness. If you are a good person, you have nothing to worry about. However, if you have lied or stolen, you will be tried as a lying thief. Unfit for the perfect fun of heaven, you would be consigned outside with other lying thieves. Hell is torment and it lasts forever. God is love and eternity without love is hell. Believe me, it is hell!
      Yet, Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, you may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

      The reason he is so special (and I believe he is, regardless if I disagree with many things he might have said). The reason is that this sort of people are rare to find. Don't forget that for every NdT there are thousands who believe that a donkey orbits saturn. For every Galileo there were thousands who believed the sun orbits around the earth. For every Aristotle there were hundreds who believed in Zeus and Hera. After every collapse of a civilization there was a middle age to follow. Yet humanity could always find a way to advance and get through obstacles. So don't wish for more Neil's, be one.

Tyson still cant grasp ( comprehend lol) who clausius, hoyal, kelven, newton etc are and what they did ...and why we are always accused of circular reasoning . Why debate fallacies like plank time, big bang, evolution, abiogenesis , when they are false and dont exist in the first place.. ( black holes excluded) .
      When Lawrence Krause gets cornered when he says Physics is weird when comes to thermodynamics, and you cornered him with sound reasoning and science, he starts cussing, ranting, and loses all credibility like tyson. ..... they are less than sound with science and truth, besides these ungodly well educated doofs are stoned and drunk have fun making hay. Ill stick with empericle science and facts from men and women of renown like Isaac Newton , Luther, tynedale, Joseph Smith, Constitution, Founding Fathers and the Lord God Almighty . Most Latter Day Saints at the age of 12 ,on their own study all come to the same understand and correct conclusion have reconciled entropy and Eternity and the universe and you!.

    "If I can do it better than anybody else then it would be irresponsible not to". What a compelling person Neil deGrasse Tyson is. He's so articulate with his words. His curiosity and childlike wonder to keep learning is a trait we should all keep. To see that puddle and jump in it. To not let any obstacle stand in the way of an experiment and if so find solutions on how to overcome it. What is the meaning of life? First of all, you have to ask yourself what meaning means to you. You have the power to give life meaning. We are in effect the universe manifested in consciousness. However you choose to walk that path in life, live it the way you want to.

      You and I belong to the lucky ones I guess. In my eighties highschool years in the Netherlands we had this old hippy teacher with long hair and a beard and (nowadays unimaginable) was always smoking smoking cigarettes in the classroom. But his passion and his ability to trigger every student by just telling stories and especially small really personal detailed stories about ordinary peoples tales in important historical times inspired every student to listen and learn.. He did not give lectures about the timeframe on the holocaust for example, no, he told the story about a family of small farmers that just happened to live right between camp Birkenau and camp Auschwitz. No stats, no timelines no numbers, just an hour and a half about this family who just lived there by accident.. that's what teaching history is all about I found out later when I finished studying history.. And he was such an inspirator! I remember one class where he said; okay, this chapter is needed for your exams, so learn it, but today we are going to talk about something that's just as important. And he set up a record player, and asked: what do you know about Led Zeppelin? And he would first give a small introduction, then play the record an afterwards kept on talking about how they changed the world of music.. We were never saved by the bell, no when he was talking, we all hated that bell, we wanted to hear more and more! Is that a fucking real teacher or not!

It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.

      And that is exactly the key to educating pretty much anyone. By getting them engaged, that's how you break down that seemingly impenetrable barrier of someone who would otherwise become an educational also ran, until you figure out what makes them tick.
      As NDT quite rightly espouses here, it's more than teaching - you can open the door, but real success is getting people to continue to question things and continue to teach themselves as they navigate through life - that's the real win, in my view.
      NDT expresses those sentiments extremely well here.

    • @Kaelus41
      @Kaelus41 3 года назад

      In addition... I guess clarification of my thoughts, who really cares about humility? Most truly humble people keep their deeper thoughts to themselves, cuz they don't want to come across as bragging or showing off.
      If Neil deGrasse Tyson was humble, and not preachy, then we wouldn't get such great science lessons from him.
      He'd keep the thoughts locked away in his own head.
      It's pretty rare for someone to be able to share wisdom with the masses without at least appearing preachy or pompous.
      If he didn't believe he was right he wouldn't be as passionate about the topics he speaks on. He probably wouldn't care enough to talk about them with others.
      Monks are humble, a lot of them take vows of silence and don't share their wisdom with the world.
      In conclusion, humility isn't necessarily a good thing.

      That's not what he wanted you to think about. School/teacher helps a little to preserve or find back your whatever curiosity is left in you. If you lost your curiosity and school/teacher failed to bring it back, it is not as much as the school or teacher is poor but more on how you grew up is poor.
      And he don't want you to remember him how good of a teacher he is but how you could translate that to next generation.

    9:48 I started crying, because I thought of my own 1,5 year old son. A few days ago when he didn't wanted to play ball pit but he only wanted to take the red balls out my wife said: our son always wants to use things in a different way they are supposed to.
    For example, he has this "shape sorter box" where he pushes the rectangle through the circle and he turns the triangle so it can fit through the square. And I always let him be, because I don't want him to think that he can only put the triangle in the triangle, I want to to explore other options.
    My thought pattern was often different from others and it took me until I was ~28 years old to figure out that I should never have chased to think like others but instead develop my own way of thinking about things. I want that my son will always know that. Hearing Neil deGrasse Tyson talk about kids' curiosity confirmed my intuition and that I should even let my kid experiment more.
    Thanks, Neil deGrasse Tyson :)

      People automatically think that the current education system is the only way to learn.

Mostly because the majority thinks that there's nothing wrong with the education system.

    • @SiMeGamer
      @SiMeGamer 3 года назад +1

      There is no such thing as "greater good". It's an invalid concept. Good and bad are relational concepts and since there is no such thing as a collective consciousness (it's epistemologically impossible) those concepts relate only to individuals. Every individual has their own hierarchy of values which are based on many, many things and different for every person. There is no overlap in that hierarchy that pertains to all people thus making the idea of a "greater good" completely meaningless. People say "greater good" when they think they know what's best for everyone which is not something that is epistemologically possible - you cannot peer into the mind of another person and see their hierarchy of values.
      It's a terrible quote and the idea of some duty or responsibility to anyone but yourself is based on nothing but the ethical axiom of altruism which is unfounded on neither epistemology nor metaphysics. Not sure why people apply skepticism to everything but not to basic ethical fallacies like altruism as if it is an intrinsically rigorous principle of behavior. Before preaching duty and responsibility to others, check the premises of those things. Philosophy is arguably more important that science because science relies on philosophy and humans rely on philosophy every second they are focused (when making decisions or getting information for example). I love Neil. He is a great guy. But this quote is utter garbage.

      @@SiMeGamer the point is I never asked your opinion lol. If you want to discuss the concept of greater good for real, go to a community where people are actively debating such concepts (like reddit, though I wouldn't go to r/iamverysmart lol).

      @@MauXtrem Nobody almost ever asks about anyone's opinions in comments of RUclips videos. But they still get them. Because you made a public comment with a reply function and not stating explicitly that you are not interested in the opinions of others. I also never said I want to discuss it. I presented an argument that I hoped you or anyone else would see and that they might think about (this is not a book or a thesis after all. I don't expect to convince anyone. Just to challenge one's mind). But if someone does decide to reply, I always appreciate if they can have a good rebuttal in case they disagree. I'm always up for learning. You did make your comment after all meaning you do hold a different take.
      I don't actively seek communities for specific answers because I think I already have those answers and when I see someone who I thinks I can challenge, I try. If more people think about things and be more rational, our world will ultimately be better and I will enjoy my life more for it. And I love teaching, so that's a factor too.
      I hope that explains my reasoning enough.
