I'm with Brady on this one: Scott will be known by a decent amount of people. On the topic of "stumm": it's the German word for "silent" or "mute". Didn't know it was used in English.
I get you Brady. Naming the ship David Attenborough is the equivalent of the U.S naming a research vessel The USS "Bill Nye," and it just seems like it caters to non enthusiasts.
Disagree sorry. Naming that ship the Sir David is an excellent choice, reflecting a remarkable man's career and achievement's in science communication and the development of educational tv programs. Long before Nye and Tyson and so on go into making tv shows and podcasts in the education sense, Attenborough was championing the accessibility of learning about nature to a vast audience, and still does. I fully get the idea that actual scientists should be given first pick in the naming of important assets as a mark of respect to their contributions, but its not like we don't do this already. My point simply is that Attenborough is well above and beyond his peers in science communication, and in a world thats entirely about communication, his work is unparalleled and as such, he deserves that namesake on that boat. On the next ship, they can go with a more obvious choice like Shackleton or Hillary, but this time, let it be the Attenborough.
Not to mention that since he does documentaries he could easily be awarded the honor on the basis of his filmmaking merit, a field in which he is not only an educator but a full-blown critically aclamy artists
scott of the antarctic was an important groundbreaking sketch in the original monty python's flying circus series. if you don't know that you have to turn in your nerd card
Rewatching an old video: I think Grey vastly underestimated the proportion of people that would know Scott. I reckon its somewhere between 1/20 and 3/4 in say European and Anglophone countries, nowhere close to 1/1000. In places like say east Asia the failure of Scott's exposition might be less known (but I don't know). Amundsen, with the title "the first man to reach the south pole", might be more universally known (but not close to being as famous as say Armstrong)?
I feel like teams with 5,000 to 1 odds almost always have a higher actual chance of winning than that. Something about the fact that they are actual groups of people capable of being inspired and motivated leads me to believe that underdog teams had higher chances of winning than they are given credit for.
I used one of those food delivery things, and I timed the guy, from the restaurant to my house, and I assumed he'd be 10 minutes late because he had to come from somewhere else, so all in all 40 minutes. The dude got to my house 20 minutes early. 5 stars, that guy must have been a nascar driver.
A fair amount of people will know of Scott in Norway at least, due to the stories about Roald Amundsen and how he beat Scott to the South Pole. Roald Amundsen was (and most likely still is) part of the curriculum in school (middle school level, I believe).
I am from Germany and they taught us in school about Scott and Amundsen. I do remember Scott more vividly because I always felt for him losing by such a small margin and everyone just remembers him as the loser. I had to look up the name of the Norwegian guy though.
+Evan. Same. Also remember this "Greater good" isn't quantifiable at all. What is quantifiable is School shortages, Hospital Shortages, Higher Crime Rates, Higher Cost of Living, Weakening Infrastructure, degradation of local culture and easier spread of disease IS quantifiable and even Grey admits it will happen, just that it is worth it somehow... Completely turned me off. Blergh, let some other city turn into that hell-hole.
"What do you mean leaving you out in the cold, aren't you getting some of this money?" Awwww "Burning you professionally would have some kind of cost, and that suitcase has to cover that cost!" Aaaaaand of course
I think most people get taught about Robert Scott at an early age in our primary school. Like how the American education teaches Christopher Columbus story.
As someone who lives JUST BARELY outside of London, and has to travel into London for work, taking public transport...I have to agree with Grey. With buses, it's highly variable. But the London Underground network is extremely good, very dependable and reliable. Yes, sometimes they have issues. But given the volume of people they transport, and the frequency with which they come, it's surprising they don't have more issues. Certainly, much better than the overground, which is always being severely delayed for one reason or another.
We remember Robert Scott! I'm not even British, I learned his name in German preschool. CGP seems dangerously uneducated here. The guy doesn't even know how to keep 'stumm'! Brady really shines this episode.
I'm in the (possibly unusual?) camp of...wanting to stay in, but for NONE of the reasons that David Cameron's propaganda mentions. It gets quite exhausting after a while, seeing how you have to explain yourself as a mostly Labour-leaning individual every time you agree with the Conservative leader. In a utopian society, every nation would be united and have complex agreements that are mutually beneficial.But dream utopias aside, I personally benefit from the ability to travel to, live and work in other countries where I can speak the local language, such as the UK, Ireland, France and Spain, without having to do painful amounts of paperwork to explain my reasoning. I appreciate the amount of cooperation in various scientific fields, which of course is still possible outside of the EU, but all of the travel agreements are simpler (and let's not forget, cheaper! Which leaves more money for the actual research) if it's agreed from the get-go that people from country A are able to travel back and forth without issues. It also certainly helps that while the UK's government is mid-to-far right, I can always count on the EU's middling-but-slightly-left policy to overturn particularly extreme-right decisions that the UK government might make, though that is just a personal preference. Overall, I've been tempted to cast a protest vote just to let the Prime Minister know that I do not necessarily agree with the terms he has "negotiated" with the EU. However, I do value what little benefit the UK has left, and I fear that the vote could sway either way. In a worst case scenario, it's easier to stay in and arrange to leave the EU at a later date if things turn sour, than it is to leave the EU and try to find a way back into it in the future.
With the soccer betting thing it seems as though cashing out early is (based on probability alone) the best option. If the current number of victories for Leicester city is above the expected value, meaning that if they win 20% of their games and they've won 40% then the next outcome will be more likely to bring the average back towards 20%. It's like if a stock only varied based on probability, it would be a better strategy to sell when you hit those small increases, because long term you would expect it to return to the mean value.
Oh! I never knew London had overground trains. At first I thought it was Tokyo, but then i looked at the buildings and thought that perhaps it's Chicago because the overground trains are really common there and the buildings look western.
RE: city housing prices: this is why I LOVE living in Houston. 4th largest city in America & it is like half as expensive as the top 3. In Houston I pay a 4 bed / 2 bath mortgage for the same price as a studio apartment in NYC. That's why it's up to states and cities to provide tax breaks for businesses so they relocate. Texas has more fortune 500 companies than NYC thanks to a business-friendly tax system & it will only grow for the time being.
I as an American say this about autonomous cars. It ain't gonna work here. Us Americans love taking control and the idea of not owning a car will make many of us leave the idea right there. If Americans do not own a car, they can not get around. Ownership of a car is required here and we don't plan on changing it. Plenty of Americans, especially in the country side feel the need to be in control, even if the car is driving for them. The basic entirety of the Midwest, Texas, and the Deep South are against it. Farmers will be against self driving vehicles as they need control. If you're hunting, you have occasions where the A.I. can't take control. You need to take control and own the car here in America to get things done.
Ok so I've been watching CGP Grey and Numberphile for quite a while but I didn't know the name of the person that is in the numberphile videos. So when I started watching Hello Internet, I noticed that Grey addressed someone by the name of Brady. So i assumed that Brady was the person who's in the numberphile vids but that was Dr James Grime. This suspicion was raised in my head when Dr James really didn't sound like the so called "Brady" but his face and body matched so well with the voice. Finally, I found out who Brady Haran truly is and it has left my brain in crumbles. It's so weird that i never knew that even when I watched both these guys for so long, i must be an embecile xD
I've been for a job interview with a recruiter in the black stump, does that count? Also, I saw it again in person yesterday and thought of this podcast.
screw scott, tom crean was a true legend. He was on the first british expedition to overwinter on the Ross ice shelf, he was on the terra nova and almost died searching for Scott, later he was one of the three who left (in a rowing boat) with shake to cross the south Pacific and find humanity after their ship was frozen in ice. He survived the Antarctic and returned to Ireland (from where he had fled to join the british navy) where he retired to own a pub, which you can still visit today. Oh yeah almost every schoolchild in ireland learns this (but I won't vouch for the percentage that remember it) and there is a sizable museum in Cambridge devoted to the era of artic exploration
31:03 I've gotten used to most of the linguistic differences between the UK and the United States, at least the ones I usually hear on RUclips, but I don't think I'll ever be okay hearing someone say 'stroke' instead of 'slash' to indicate '/'. It made me stop the podcast and rewind because I couldn't figure out why Grey had suddenly used an uncommon verb.
I'm watching the video at 360p right now because RUclips is still processing the file, and I find it kind of cool how it's not easy to tell if the video is real-world footage or CGI. It totally looks like it could be a clip from a video game.
+Joonas Puuppo I do find truck driving simulators fun :] I meant this specific clip of a train going back and forth would be weird as a game, but I've never played a train/subway simulator in particular.
Huh I also thought my opinion on the EU wasn't about trust, but then I realised a big reason for me wanting to stay in is because I don't trust our politicians to be able to negotiate free trade agreements..
Is it me or did Grey sound super elitist and kind of cold when discussing property prices and quality of life in cites. It’s like he dosent realize that maybe having giant cites where most of the people who live in then make the lowest amount of money legally allowed and barely scrape by with two jobs, but that’s ok because it means in the super super long term there would be more technology in some sectors? Like that’s basically saying “shut up and work your two jobs and barely afford rent because this way google can in 50 years make some better technology that doesn’t effect you anyway” idk
Theres a counterexample for Greys gut reaction which is betting on both Teams and both Teams being ahead at some point in the game. You could just cash out when one is ahead, and hope the other one wins.
I always tip cash on delivery as a finger to the taxman the same as I always try to pay cash off the books for the same reason. If you've ever been stuck on a basic rate tax code or seen 40% of your wages taken for income tax and national insurance you'll understand. The rich are rich enough.
Grey's argument is basically human misery is for the good of mankind. Though his logic is pretty sound, just misunderstands what makes most people happy.
Brady knows and Grey doesn't about Scott and Hillary because they were subjects of the British Empire/Commonwealth citizens. I certainly remember learning about them at school in the 80s/90s in the UK.
I think a point Brady was trying to make but struggled to articulate was that if you funnel every intelligent and successful person or business into a mega city, all the smaller cities, towns etc literally become ghost towns. The businesses don't want to go there, so nobody can get work there, and since noboby can get work it forces everyone there to move someone else to find work. I am in favour of freedom of movement in the sense that i think any given individual should be allowed to decides for themselves where they want to live, and if it so happens to be that people funnel together in one city, then so be it, but i do think that a side effect of using your freedom of movement can actually restrict the freedom of movement of others. By pushing everyone together into one giant megacity, everyone who lives outside of that mega city are likely mega fucked and their only realy choice if they want to stay alive is to move to the mega city, which to me is the opposite of freedom of movement. Obviously we can't make it so everyone can become Elon Musk in every city, and i don't want that either, but i would prefer and i think it would help many others aswell to allow for the possiblity to have succes in more or less any given city, now obviously the scope of success will be proportionate to the size of the city, but as long as people can make a living being successful in nearly any given town, that i think is the most free/freest version of freedom of movement. Because it allows people to seek the city that would provide them with the type of success they want, rather than everyone competing in one big city to be Elon Musk with the vast majority of people failing.
I have a simple reason why I want countries to go out of the EU. I simply think the EU is a shitty system. Note, not the concept of Europe working together, but the EU as it is currently implemented.
London, its the driverless trains of the docklands. Called the docklands light railway in the east. That segment i believe is Canary wharf to Limehouse

+Art Artsen Nah the one with the marbles is just so peaceful
+Art Artsen bad tim, you should give link next time
This is why you should use a podcast app like Mr Grey says
I'm with Brady on this one: Scott will be known by a decent amount of people.
On the topic of "stumm": it's the German word for "silent" or "mute". Didn't know it was used in English.
I get you Brady. Naming the ship David Attenborough is the equivalent of the U.S naming a research vessel The USS "Bill Nye," and it just seems like it caters to non enthusiasts.
I do agree, but don't equate Attenborough to Nye.
nye is "awesome", Sir Attenborough is awe inspiring
Still tho, a USS bill nye that had a horn that just went "BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL" would be the raddest thing ever
Disagree sorry. Naming that ship the Sir David is an excellent choice, reflecting a remarkable man's career and achievement's in science communication and the development of educational tv programs. Long before Nye and Tyson and so on go into making tv shows and podcasts in the education sense, Attenborough was championing the accessibility of learning about nature to a vast audience, and still does.

On the next ship, they can go with a more obvious choice like Shackleton or Hillary, but this time, let it be the Attenborough.
no where near the same, David and Bill are poles apart in terms of what they have achieved and how they are perceived by the public and academia.
Not to mention that since he does documentaries he could easily be awarded the honor on the basis of his filmmaking merit, a field in which he is not only an educator but a full-blown critically aclamy artists
scott of the antarctic was an important groundbreaking sketch in the original monty python's flying circus series. if you don't know that you have to turn in your nerd card
+Zoxesyr Thank you for saying this, thats what i was thinking about during that entire conversation.
I hate Monty Python's _Flying Circus._ Feels like mishmashed random garbage to me.
Whenever music starts playing in the background, I can't help but think an ad popped up in another window or something.

Is this a troll?
+OfficeOfThePope what do you mean?
+Alejandro Apellido 63=9x7. Breaking the one requirement a prime needs.
Rewatching an old video: I think Grey vastly underestimated the proportion of people that would know Scott. I reckon its somewhere between 1/20 and 3/4 in say European and Anglophone countries, nowhere close to 1/1000. In places like say east Asia the failure of Scott's exposition might be less known (but I don't know). Amundsen, with the title "the first man to reach the south pole", might be more universally known (but not close to being as famous as say Armstrong)?

1:30:15 I wouldn't mind a video on what the EU is and why a given country would want to join it.
A fair amount of people will know of Scott in Norway at least, due to the stories about Roald Amundsen and how he beat Scott to the South Pole. Roald Amundsen was (and most likely still is) part of the curriculum in school (middle school level, I believe).
Isn't the Starlight Music in the background free booting?
Surprised Grey hasn't heard of Scott of the Antarctic
jim holroyd I live in Texas and we went over him briefly in History. I'll admit I didn't know him by name, but I did know of Terra Nova.
Same.
finally!! I was trying so hard to listen yesterday but my surface was being so buggy
I am from Germany and they taught us in school about Scott and Amundsen. I do remember Scott more vividly because I always felt for him losing by such a small margin and everyone just remembers him as the loser. I had to look up the name of the Norwegian guy though.

i really like the discussion of the mega city and how it function properly to maximize certain unique trait.
I was going to vote in until hearing grey's dystopian vision of a human battery farm.
+Evan. Same. Also remember this "Greater good" isn't quantifiable at all. What is quantifiable is School shortages, Hospital Shortages, Higher Crime Rates, Higher Cost of Living, Weakening Infrastructure, degradation of local culture and easier spread of disease IS quantifiable and even Grey admits it will happen, just that it is worth it somehow... Completely turned me off. Blergh, let some other city turn into that hell-hole.
+Tobi Flei Yeah, all the other cities in the country are getting fucked when it comes to government spending, so sick of this Londoncentrist shit.
"What do you mean leaving you out in the cold, aren't you getting some of this money?"
Awwww
"Burning you professionally would have some kind of cost, and that suitcase has to cover that cost!"
Aaaaaand of course
Do the question about Robert Scott in Norway, and many people will know him, because of the race with Roald Amundsen (a guy every norwegian knows).
I think most people get taught about Robert Scott at an early age in our primary school. Like how the American education teaches Christopher Columbus story.
+Adam Hughes but I wasn't sure about Mount Everest.
I actually saw an entire documentary about Robert Scott in 3rd grade (i'm in 10th grade now and live in America so..)
who was the first person on the moon?
who was the first person on mt everest?
who was the SECOND person on the south pole?
how do you not know scott? Scott and oates! "I'm nipping out for a walk, I shan't be long."
20:00 people my age know about Robert Scott bc of that one horrible histories sketch they did of him
As someone who lives JUST BARELY outside of London, and has to travel into London for work, taking public transport...I have to agree with Grey. With buses, it's highly variable. But the London Underground network is extremely good, very dependable and reliable. Yes, sometimes they have issues. But given the volume of people they transport, and the frequency with which they come, it's surprising they don't have more issues. Certainly, much better than the overground, which is always being severely delayed for one reason or another.
1:06:10 Greys reaction is so perfect.
We remember Robert Scott! I'm not even British, I learned his name in German preschool. CGP seems dangerously uneducated here. The guy doesn't even know how to keep 'stumm'! Brady really shines this episode.
Why did the sound black out at like the last two minutes of the podcast
I'm in the (possibly unusual?) camp of...wanting to stay in, but for NONE of the reasons that David Cameron's propaganda mentions. It gets quite exhausting after a while, seeing how you have to explain yourself as a mostly Labour-leaning individual every time you agree with the Conservative leader. In a utopian society, every nation would be united and have complex agreements that are mutually beneficial.But dream utopias aside, I personally benefit from the ability to travel to, live and work in other countries where I can speak the local language, such as the UK, Ireland, France and Spain, without having to do painful amounts of paperwork to explain my reasoning.

It's like if a stock only varied based on probability, it would be a better strategy to sell when you hit those small increases, because long term you would expect it to return to the mean value.
The DLR!! Thanks for paying East London a visit!
Where is the place in the video? 😊
It's in London on the DLR, the overground train. Goes from Southqauy through Canary Wharf to Shadwell.
Oh! I never knew London had overground trains. At first I thought it was Tokyo, but then i looked at the buildings and thought that perhaps it's Chicago because the overground trains are really common there and the buildings look western.

screw scott, tom crean was a true legend.

the more I re-listen to these the more I notice that Grey is the embodiment of first world problems.
Why London and not any other capital city in western Europe?
27:15 What you could mean Dr. Haran is the German word "Stumm" which is said like you do it, but without the b at the end and it means silent
For the record, I am pro someone telling me what to do.
my gut feeling is to not trust the eu BUT i trust the uk government even less
At least you can vote for a different government in the UK, though
That DLR video is so good
HOW DID I FIND THIS SIX MINUTES AFTER IT WAS UPLOADED
Is it me or did Grey sound super elitist and kind of cold when discussing property prices and quality of life in cites. It’s like he dosent realize that maybe having giant cites where most of the people who live in then make the lowest amount of money legally allowed and barely scrape by with two jobs, but that’s ok because it means in the super super long term there would be more technology in some sectors? Like that’s basically saying “shut up and work your two jobs and barely afford rent because this way google can in 50 years make some better technology that doesn’t effect you anyway” idk
It's not just you. Honestly it gets exhausting listening to him sometimes because he's so obviously out of touch.
I found out about Scott from Simon (of the Yogscast).
Theres a counterexample for Greys gut reaction which is betting on both Teams and both Teams being ahead at some point in the game. You could just cash out when one is ahead, and hope the other one wins.
I first heard of Robert Scott from Red Dwarf
"Stumm" is german for "not talking".
"Keeping stumm" therefore means "keeping quiet".
Grey, Your almost there. You don't need to tip because companies do pay well enough. Companies not have to pay well enough because people tip.
"Cluster people together..."
Says he who works on a podcast where the hosts are normally 1/2 a world away from each other ;)
I always tip cash on delivery as a finger to the taxman the same as I always try to pay cash off the books for the same reason. If you've ever been stuck on a basic rate tax code or seen 40% of your wages taken for income tax and national insurance you'll understand. The rich are rich enough.
Which city's subway, i'm riding in?
From what I gathered by reading comments it's a overground train in London on something called the DLR.
Vote Grey for Mega City One
Grey's argument is basically human misery is for the good of mankind. Though his logic is pretty sound, just misunderstands what makes most people happy.
Brady knows and Grey doesn't about Scott and Hillary because they were subjects of the British Empire/Commonwealth citizens. I certainly remember learning about them at school in the 80s/90s in the UK.
i think the transition nfrom car to auto to car will be way longer then the smartphone one, just because car exist way longer then phones
My mission for the week... track down Grey and get his 50 Pound Note (since he is not using it anyway) ;-)
Dammit Grey! Harry's only ships to the US and Canada. Stop tempting us with products we can get :(
I was taught London is to small to be a mega city, it's a quarter the size of Tokyo
Grey doing follow-up?
WHAT IS GOING ON ...

Which city's train is the video from?
I think that's a section of the DLR in London. The yellow line on the platform and the red trains I think are the telling signs
1:32:37 Are you sure Australia is not in the EU? It's in Eurovision...
I think a point Brady was trying to make but struggled to articulate was that if you funnel every intelligent and successful person or business into a mega city, all the smaller cities, towns etc literally become ghost towns. The businesses don't want to go there, so nobody can get work there, and since noboby can get work it forces everyone there to move someone else to find work. I am in favour of freedom of movement in the sense that i think any given individual should be allowed to decides for themselves where they want to live, and if it so happens to be that people funnel together in one city, then so be it, but i do think that a side effect of using your freedom of movement can actually restrict the freedom of movement of others. By pushing everyone together into one giant megacity, everyone who lives outside of that mega city are likely mega fucked and their only realy choice if they want to stay alive is to move to the mega city, which to me is the opposite of freedom of movement.
Obviously we can't make it so everyone can become Elon Musk in every city, and i don't want that either, but i would prefer and i think it would help many others aswell to allow for the possiblity to have succes in more or less any given city, now obviously the scope of success will be proportionate to the size of the city, but as long as people can make a living being successful in nearly any given town, that i think is the most free/freest version of freedom of movement. Because it allows people to seek the city that would provide them with the type of success they want, rather than everyone competing in one big city to be Elon Musk with the vast majority of people failing.
You need a default % tip, not a default static tip.

I have a simple reason why I want countries to go out of the EU. I simply think the EU is a shitty system. Note, not the concept of Europe working together, but the EU as it is currently implemented.
