I'm confused, to stop feline obesity do we need to either stop working out, or stop drinking beer. Or is it stop working out and stop drinking beer. Or is it that we can either stop working out or drink more beer? (This is a reply showing how misunderstanding of grammar also contributes to the change of information)
I think it all starts going down when 3b1b's minimalist style of animation left out a lot of information, leaving the next narrator to try to fill in the gaps
I love the confusion where Jabril was just implicitly thinking of a sequence cause that's such a prominent concept in programming and when danielle heard his explanation she was like "what the fuck are you talking about guy"
Everyone else: Let's try to find a tight narrative that links all the animations together and give it a scientific spin Jabril: "Sun, one to three, leaf, one to three, and snowflakes, one to three." Damn that's good stuff.
Can we just appreciate how Joe's explanation made PERFECT sense despite Jabril's chaotic narration and Danielle's confused drawing "As an organism levels up, it never wins the game, it just has more dice to roll in the next round" is legit one of the best lines I have ever heard in a biology-related video
His take was the perfect conclusion. Started with a believably normal video, devolved into chaos, and then came out the other end with a meaningful video.

You make a really good point. I think that visual->script is indeed where crucial information was lost, because visuals are typically meant to reinforce or illustrate something being discussed, but not to explain causation. Add in that most of the topics were relatively abstract, and it increases the opportunity for misunderstanding when playing telephone. In particular, I note how the images have gone from feeling 'scientific' to 'encyclopedic' to 'infoblurb' to outright 'entertainment', which has shifted the emphasis given to subjects. Small beers in graphs became the leading element. Small cats eating apples became a crisis of overweightness. Etc. Tom came up with bartenders elbow because he couldn't figure out the story the images were telling. Another came up with crazy powerups and a highly visual description because the concept of time passing had been lost in the iconified representation of the seasons. And the last one interpreted ice cubes as dice because a previous iteration had already used ice-like glasses instead of outright beer for the mentions of it, which killed the colour that the liquid would have had, thus leading to the misunderstanding. It was amazing to see.

feel like dianna's misdirection was on purpose since there's no way she said "that's how fake news is made" without having known the original point, so she knew but decided to mess with the later people
i love how no-one is mentioning how Joe took the story in a sharp turn. he turned ice into dice, actual actions into evolution and literal people into figurative embodiments of animal populations!
Yeah, from an information preservation standpoint, he put in a huge distortion. Said something completely unrelated to even his nearest neighbour. Perhaps, its easier to say for us viewers because we had the full overview of the flow of information starting right from the original information, but it was a huge distortion even if we just take the last two stages.
Joe actually did really well--he looked at the animation as a whole to figure out what coherent narrative it *could* be telling, and reconstructed that narrative perfectly. If he'd been earlier in the sequence, he would have likely passed on the original information really well. The problem was one of Garbage In, Garbage Out--if the input doesn't carry a coherent narrative on its own merits, it's impossible for the next link in the chain to reconstruct that narrative, so they have to come up with a narrative of their own. Overall, most of the information was generally lost in the translations from narrative to animation--to the point where on Jabril's turn, he couldn't wring any sensible narrative out of the animation at all and simply described the animation instead.
I like how by the time of Jabril’s explanation, he was so confused that he had to explain the twelve months as a series of three flowers, three suns, three withered leaves, and three snowflakes. Then again, shaking a cup of ice for twelve months to grow your muscles is not a topic you can pick up on immediately. Admittedly, figuring out that Grant was drawing about miscommunications from science to social media is just close enough to media sensationalism by itself that that misinterpretation is not bad.
Your explanation of evolution was really cool! Bringing up D&D dice really illustrates the way that it's not about who's got the highest stats, but higher stats give them better odds. It was a really neat metaphor!
The original idea: Misinterpretation can cause a lot of problems, especially if there is a lack of communication. The rest of the telephone game: Oh I'm going to prove this hypothesis to be so right.
Jabrill was the only person who tried to accurately portray the animation without assuming any additional information. Truly the most scientificaly minded describer in the sequence.
That is such an interesting take! I had the exact opposite reaction. I thought some of them were trying to actually understand what's being said and looked for a plausible interpretation, while others... Well, it looked to me like they weren't trying at all. I cannot understand how you could come up with "sun 1 to 3" and just keep it there, it's absurd and meaningless. I assumed that the description of the task was vague, and that's what threw Jabrill off.
The fact that Tom made up bartender's elbow and a bunch of other stuff and made it sound completely normal was kinda scary. The dude could fool anyone with how confidently he presents everything he says.
EternusNex As long as you don’t see him, so that he doesn’t have to keep a straight face, he can make up the most outrageous things and still sound believable.
I mean it's basically what he and his friends do in various games and what not. He's top tier bluffer and I *really* wanna see a roleplay session involving him
I'm just going to say that there are 10 min worth of funny reactions to this video, which we didn't include because this video was already very long (to our standards). However, if this video gets 250,000 views in its first week, I promise to put it together and share it with the world. So share it around! :)
Just goes to show that Tom could be making shit up and I would be none the wiser because he sounds like he knows what he's talking about so I trust him
I remember osmosis jones from a 5th grade in-class health movie, you know like when they give u a question sheet and ya fill it out as the video goes on. I also remember the terribly animated allergy pill and exploding zit. Why these memories were revealed after reading this comment, i haven’t the slightest idea.
I like how everyone was sticking to the same idea, then it gets to Dianna and she just chooses to interpret the information as literally as possible. aN esSaY ThaT mAgiCAllY coPieS itsElf
It was clearly 3blue1brown that quite derailed the situation. His illustrations were too vague that right off the bat when his illustrations started while the one before him was narrating, I immediately thought "oh no those illustrations are going to get so misinterpreted". Try getting someone who hasn't seen this yet to watch his part again without audio and ask them to describe what it's supposed to say. Then show them the illustrations before Grant's then ask them again what those mean. I hypothesize that they will be so starkly different
You say that because you had the information when looking at Grant's visuals. Grant is great at uniquely and creatively visualizing and abstracting data which is fantastic allowing people to see math in new and fresh ways... but isn't as strong at clearly conveying concrete narratively structured information. Dianna is great at clearly and concisely conveying complex literal information to a broad audience, which is perfect for science communication... but that isn't the strongest skill set for constructing a connected narrative based on largely abstract imagery. I think it's more impressive that the original meaning lasted as long as it did and less surprising that the meaning broke down, especially when people are doing things outside their wheel house.
@@GivenFailure I think the original meaning lasted as long as it did because the first few were people from the "minute" channels, and thus were more in tune with one another.
RENEE PARK Jabril tried preserving the graphics for future iterations, rather than attempting to guess the incoming video’s script. It’s a somewhat legitimate strategy for a telephone-esque game this size, as long as you don’t fail spectacularly.
It went from "Don't trust clickbait science" to "Studies have proven that bartenders are strong" to "Ice shaking makes you strong" to "Level up your strength stats using dice"
What i like about this is that it shows how a youtubers worldview can effect their delivery of content. Physics Girl tries to make science fun and accessible, but this sacrifices substance. Tom Scott covers obscure facts, so focuses more on building a story than on rigorous facts. Jabrils is a programmer, so his description is purely objective to a fault. Tier Zoo's work is focused on a video game aesthetic, which changes the context of the source material. As viewers of all these channels, I wonder how much our own worldview is shaped and warped by these channels delivery!
fanrco And 3blue1browns graphics are very aesthetically pleasing but since much of the context is supplied in the audio they are not as helpful. They are more about going the extra mile in visualising and understanding something rather then just describing it.
Oh no I had never thought about it that way. It's hard though, because I watch these videos for 'entertainment', so I'm less concerned about getting balanced/correct information than I would be if I was doing proper research for academic purposes. But I am learning and absorbing information from them nonetheless. Perhaps it's worth thinking more about what lens I'm being presented the info through.
11:03 I like the fact that, a certain circular thing with spikes in 2020 was so impressive that at least one smart person would literally see a shape of a shining sun as "a virus". 😂
Petition for more of this? I understand not wanting to bog down your main science-focused channels with this kind of content, but I for one found this to be greatly enjoyable and a much-needed dose of levity in our 2020 world. If you guys made a secondary channel and occasionally did other group games like this, I'd definitely watch it regularly.
Because at that point, the video didn't have anything to indicate any of the information was false. Which explains a lot, except for why he decided to just make bartender's elbow.
@@jaksida300 ehh, 3b1b's was very bare bones. You wouldn't know what it was supposed to convey without the guiding narration either. She did the best she could with what she was given in her own style.

I've read a few AI papers and Jabril's description makes total sense. He sees boxes on screen, he's going to describe the boxes on screen. I love how the "strength" motif was the only thing left by the end of the video!
I know, right? That's like forcing a goat to endure progressively more deforming and debilitating mutations until it randomly becomes Arnold Schwarzenegger.
That was amazing. He took a completely nonsensical story and he managed to interpret it into something actually sensible. Had it not been for him the telephone would have ended up with a gibberish mess.
Yes, I agree with you. We read with 'our sense of things'. It seems good - if it matches the common sense/current understanding of things in this society at this point in time(which seems to be the case in this example), it seems bad - if it doesn't. In fact when we look at history and before we judge people and societies, we should appreciate the fact that they could have made perfect sense in that time and space, and 'We' are in a different time and space with our own set of prejudice and understanding of the universe. For example, look.. who knows, for a future society Jabril's reading (which 'now' might look random to 'many of us') might make a lot more sense than Joe's.
@@smonke4377 And imagine if Matt Parker were there… 'The dice don't add up along all the axes, but they're still pretty good, so give the cat a beer anyhow…'
It was so disconcerting to me to hear my favorite science RUclipsrs (especially Tom Scott) spout some bullshit and make it sound totally believable lol.
"Flower, 1 to 3... sun, 1 to 3... leaf, 1 to 3... and snowflake, 1 to 3, replaces from sun 2 to snowflake 1 with strength in the sequence" - Jabril 2020.
You can clearly tell where everyone gave up trying to understand what was provided as source and made stuff up. That final save by Joe made the script seem well-written.
People are saying it derailed in Tom or Diana, but my hypothesis is that the cause of the derailing was the lack of emphasis Grant put into showing that the data had been passed along several people and that that fact was what changed the data, Diana didn't know and so that part was lost and by Tom the message was only about the data and only talking about the data made everyone else interpret data and make up what that data is supposed to represent
Agreed. I think it illustrated (hehe) nicely how hard it is to make good illustrations. His animation was nice as a support to the text, but couldn’t carry the narrative. Compare it to the animations from the minute earth team! To be fair though, they were passing the story within their ranks, and they’ve worked with each other for years.
The same with TierZoo. Their style of animation is just not meant for the same purpose animations like Scishow and Minute earth are. I'm not saying they are bad, Grant's animations fits his explanations so well, it is really easy to follow them, and TierZoo have a really nice style of presenting content you don't see anywhere else.
I love how crazy and unscientific it got by the end, and then Joe bringing it back with something actually educational with real learning points, great video it'd be awesome to get more of this kind of stuff down the line c:
Yeah, between all the chaos, he managed to make sense of it! That's a skill I would like to develop xD (Yeah, making sense of life with D&D analogies (?) Also, I really like your pfp! :D
The most interesting part about this is how they choose to interpret the drawings. Some decide to make a story out of them, some just flat describe what they see. It's all in the interpretation, how a glass of ice becomes a cup of dice.

Next time also get, Veritasium, Vsauce, Wendover guy, Cold fusion and real engineering guy, coding train guy, you guyz keep making great content. Thank you all.
Up until 5:35 I thought it was possible the game could get back on track based on illustrations... but when the axes of the graph were switched around I knew it could only go downhill from there because whoever looked at it would think the cat/person/arm was the independent variable.
This video is one of those I wish I could upvote more; one of those rare times I wish RUclips had a 'SuperUpvote' that users could apply a limited number of.
More detailed information for upvoting would be great (like a five-star system as seen in many places) but I'm guessing there are two major difficulties with that: 1. More storage space required. I have no idea how all the videos are saved because they aren't small files. But with millions, probably billions of videos, storing even 3 more, integers to each video could add up. 2. The transition would probably be the bigger problem. How do you convert likes and dislikes into that new system to keep old content and it's evaluation relevant in the new system.
@@sebastianjost RUclips used to have a star based system many years ago, but I think they stopped not because it was tough on storage, but rather because it was harder for The Algorithm to direct the videos for the different people

It looks like Joe saw that glass-shaking stuff and said “you know what? I can’t do this, so let’s all pretend it’s a metaphor so I can talk about biology.”
Hear me out: Jabril had a good strategy, but coming after TierZoo's metaphors was the one time that it would've backfired :P I love seeing all the styles of narration and animation, and I laughed with joy at the sheer creativity
I didn't even question bartender's elbow. I blindly trusted that Tom was at the very least spewing lies about a real thing. Tom is _really_ good at making up BS - I'm going to need to start fact checking his videos from now on lol.

i love how no-one is mentioning how Joe took the story in a sharp turn. he turned ice into dice, actual actions into evolution and literal people into figurative embodiments of animal populations!
Yeah, from an information preservation standpoint, he put in a huge distortion. Said something completely unrelated to even his nearest neighbour. Perhaps, its easier to say for us viewers because we had the full overview of the flow of information starting right from the original information, but it was a huge distortion even if we just take the last two stages.
Joe actually did really well--he looked at the animation as a whole to figure out what coherent narrative it *could* be telling, and reconstructed that narrative perfectly. If he'd been earlier in the sequence, he would have likely passed on the original information really well.
The problem was one of Garbage In, Garbage Out--if the input doesn't carry a coherent narrative on its own merits, it's impossible for the next link in the chain to reconstruct that narrative, so they have to come up with a narrative of their own. Overall, most of the information was generally lost in the translations from narrative to animation--to the point where on Jabril's turn, he couldn't wring any sensible narrative out of the animation at all and simply described the animation instead.
I like how by the time of Jabril’s explanation, he was so confused that he had to explain the twelve months as a series of three flowers, three suns, three withered leaves, and three snowflakes. Then again, shaking a cup of ice for twelve months to grow your muscles is not a topic you can pick up on immediately.
Admittedly, figuring out that Grant was drawing about miscommunications from science to social media is just close enough to media sensationalism by itself that that misinterpretation is not bad.
Being the person at the very end of this game of RUclips telephone, I just have to say WHAT THE HECKY?! 😂
You did the best with what you were given
I agree with Tom, you were the MVP. You turned complete confusion into a gorgeous narrative.
Your explanation of evolution was really cool! Bringing up D&D dice really illustrates the way that it's not about who's got the highest stats, but higher stats give them better odds. It was a really neat metaphor!
Last is best in this game
Joe I'm stealing that final line and putting it in my own video, no backsies
The original idea: Misinterpretation can cause a lot of problems, especially if there is a lack of communication.
The rest of the telephone game: Oh I'm going to prove this hypothesis to be so right.
exactly, it should've been natural
Jabrill was the only person who tried to accurately portray the animation without assuming any additional information. Truly the most scientificaly minded describer in the sequence.
That is such an interesting take! I had the exact opposite reaction. I thought some of them were trying to actually understand what's being said and looked for a plausible interpretation, while others... Well, it looked to me like they weren't trying at all. I cannot understand how you could come up with "sun 1 to 3" and just keep it there, it's absurd and meaningless. I assumed that the description of the task was vague, and that's what threw Jabrill off.
Jabrill is actually a programmer so the way he explained the animation as if it was a sequence makes sense. I found it funny😂
Jabril: "Replaces from Sun 2 to Snowflake 1 with Strength in the sequence"
Danielle: "I give up"

Literal interpretation creates the funnies stories
It was clearly 3blue1brown that quite derailed the situation. His illustrations were too vague that right off the bat when his illustrations started while the one before him was narrating, I immediately thought "oh no those illustrations are going to get so misinterpreted". Try getting someone who hasn't seen this yet to watch his part again without audio and ask them to describe what it's supposed to say. Then show them the illustrations before Grant's then ask them again what those mean. I hypothesize that they will be so starkly different
@@aurias42 a person, presumably bald...
You say that because you had the information when looking at Grant's visuals.
Grant is great at uniquely and creatively visualizing and abstracting data which is fantastic allowing people to see math in new and fresh ways... but isn't as strong at clearly conveying concrete narratively structured information.
Dianna is great at clearly and concisely conveying complex literal information to a broad audience, which is perfect for science communication... but that isn't the strongest skill set for constructing a connected narrative based on largely abstract imagery.
I think it's more impressive that the original meaning lasted as long as it did and less surprising that the meaning broke down, especially when people are doing things outside their wheel house.

What i like about this is that it shows how a youtubers worldview can effect their delivery of content. Physics Girl tries to make science fun and accessible, but this sacrifices substance. Tom Scott covers obscure facts, so focuses more on building a story than on rigorous facts. Jabrils is a programmer, so his description is purely objective to a fault. Tier Zoo's work is focused on a video game aesthetic, which changes the context of the source material. As viewers of all these channels, I wonder how much our own worldview is shaped and warped by these channels delivery!

That was amazing. He took a completely nonsensical story and he managed to interpret it into something actually sensible. Had it not been for him the telephone would have ended up with a gibberish mess.
Yes, I agree with you.
We read with 'our sense of things'. It seems good - if it matches the common sense/current understanding of things in this society at this point in time(which seems to be the case in this example), it seems bad - if it doesn't. In fact when we look at history and before we judge people and societies, we should appreciate the fact that they could have made perfect sense in that time and space, and 'We' are in a different time and space with our own set of prejudice and understanding of the universe.
For example, look.. who knows, for a future society Jabril's reading (which 'now' might look random to 'many of us') might make a lot more sense than Joe's.

Tbh yeah that part was vague. It didnt look like anything happened to the paper
Agreed. I think it illustrated (hehe) nicely how hard it is to make good illustrations. His animation was nice as a support to the text, but couldn’t carry the narrative. Compare it to the animations from the minute earth team! To be fair though, they were passing the story within their ranks, and they’ve worked with each other for years.
The same with TierZoo. Their style of animation is just not meant for the same purpose animations like Scishow and Minute earth are.
I'm not saying they are bad, Grant's animations fits his explanations so well, it is really easy to follow them, and TierZoo have a really nice style of presenting content you don't see anywhere else.

This video is one of those I wish I could upvote more; one of those rare times I wish RUclips had a 'SuperUpvote' that users could apply a limited number of.
More detailed information for upvoting would be great (like a five-star system as seen in many places) but I'm guessing there are two major difficulties with that:
1. More storage space required. I have no idea how all the videos are saved because they aren't small files. But with millions, probably billions of videos, storing even 3 more, integers to each video could add up.
2. The transition would probably be the bigger problem.
