      Beats endlessly swiping shorts (which, to be fair, did not exist for you at the time). I wish I could just remove them, but refuse to watch them instead as a placation.
      There’s something truly insidious about how they pull you in, spike you with that pre-swipe dopamine hit; remember kids, dopamine is the anticipation drug, NOT the reward drug - your brain releases it in ANTICIPATION of a reward, giving you the motivation to seek it (hence the difficulties experienced by those with ADHD).
      Longer format videos, at the very least, still force you to focus your attention. If you ever begin to feel out of sorts because of these algorithm driven time-sinks, start watching a series (30, 60 minute, either or). Even if it’s a stereotypical unintellectual show (e.g. Family Guy), as long as you retain your attention towards it for the entirety of the episode, you’ll be doing yourself a service. The trick is to avoid distractions, and to consume the content intentionally and uninterrupted.
      Time is precious, and it’s YOUR time. Make sure that whatever you’re spending it on is worth it in the end. A minute at a time, back-to-back, adds up quite quickly. Good luck out there, folks.

    Okay Simon, I googled "Double Nephew" and guess who came up as the first result?
    A quote from Wikipedia: "Bernays was a "double nephew" of Viennese psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud-by virtue of his mother, Freud's sister, and of his father's sister, Martha Bernays Freud, who married Sigmund."
    So... it's actually not as incestuous as you first thought, because his mother was Freud's sister, but his father's Sister married Freud, so the only blood relation involved here is is that his mother was Freud's sister.

    re cigarettes -- My dad was born in 1921, and he told me he saw a "Reader's Digest" article from 1936 about the dangers of cigarettes. "Reader's Digest" was a very popular (and conservative) magazine for decades in the USA. I haven't been able to find it, but I doubt he'd lie to me. I do know that thoracic surgeons, starting in the 1930s, were alarmed by a startling increase in lung cancer, prompting the necessity of new surgical procedures to resect lobes of lungs. Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute required patients to fill out environmental surveys, to try and figure out what was the common denominator among lung cancer patients. Tobacco use was the culprit.

Their research had proven so conclusive that Hitler used to give expensive gifts to leaders of the NASDP & of the Wehrmacht who quit smoking.

For instance, if a woman agreed to a yearly breast exam and pap smear and pelvic exam, if she later developed breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometrial cancer, the state would cover all her medical expenses related to treating the cancer. Of course, this was less about concern for the woman, and more about ensuring she was a healthy brood mare capable of spitting out Aryan babies, but the effect was still positive.

      @@TraditionalAnglican Oh, exactly. In 1977, Dr. Robert Pozos at the University of Minnesota started a hypothermia lab, because so many Minnesotans fall into freezing water. He had read about Rascher's Dachau freezing experiments, analyzed why the methodology was so grossly flawed, acknowledged the revolting reality that the subjects were experimented on against their will, but said there were kernels of actual good scientific data about how to warm up a person immersed in freezing water.
      Pozos designed ethical experiments with paid volunteer human subjects (never letting their temperature drop below 95F, and allowing them to stop the experiment the second they got uncomfortable), and Pozos' methodology was actually scientifically sound, and free of the sickening psychosexual aspects of Rascher's research, in which Rascher indulged Himmler's perverted insistence that women be forced to try and use sex to more quickly rewarm freezing subjects.
      Pozos was the target of a vehement campaign to shut down his research, insisting that he "start from scratch" and not use ANY of the Nazi data about rewarming. Pozos countered that completely ignoring any of the good data that could be gleaned from the overwhelming trash data Rascher produced was to dishonor the Dachau victims. Much of the methodology hospitals use now to rewarm hypothermia patients stems from Pozos' research.
      A parallel can be drawn between the Nazi experiments and those of American doctor J. Marion Sims, who until recently bore the unofficial title of "Father of Modern Gynecology." He invented gynecological surgical instruments and techniques still in use today. Unfortunately, these instruments and techniques were developed by operating on slaves in the American South. These slaves were locked away in a hellish "hospital," and the slaves had to hold down their sister slaves while Sims operated on the patients WITHOUT ANESTHESIA, and totally without their consent, their screams muffled by rags stuffed in their mouths. Many of the slaves died of shock and infection. No matter! Sims just got more slaves to experiment on! The horrific barbarity of his experiments would have made Mengele blush and demur, "Dude, you've gone much too far."
      So, should we stop using Sims retractors? Do we abandon his effective method to repair vesicovaginal fistulas (where there's an unnatural channel between the vagina and bladder, causing leaking urine)? (Sims had to create fistulas between the vagina and the bladder in his slave subjects -- he didn't just hunt the countryside for a slave who already had the condition, which sometimes occurs after a difficult childbirth, and then try and cure the slave. Oh, no, he had to artificially create the fistula first surgically, without anesthesia.) To abandon Sims' methods of repair would be to condemn millions of women to a lifetime of embarrassment and risk of infection from their fistulas.

      I know you're not serious, but if it helps with places to start researching, this is my take.
      Sir Philip Green bought BHS for £200m back at the start of the millennium.
      Then over 4 years he takes £420m out of the business and sends it to his family, primarily his wife Tina, don't quote me on that however, I'm not a financial expert and I imagine it moves around a lot on its way to Monaco, where it ultimately ends up. Then over the next decade Arcadia pays out further huge dividends to the family.
      Sir Phillip then sold it to avoid paying for pensions and the huge debts he's loaded into the company in 2015 for £1 to Dominic Chappel, a former race car driver - who then proceeded to take a further £25m in fees and other financial arrangements paying out to Dominic Chappel and the other directors, leading up the company with debt until it collapses in April 2016 with around £1.3 billion in debts, and in addition a £570+ million deficit in employee pensions, affecting upto 20,000 pensioners, (BHS was an 88 year old company, lots of former workers).
      Then multiple regulators (SFO and pensions, etc...) started investigating, multiple parliamentary enquiries were held, with your typical no answer answers from those involved, enquiries were made as to removing Sir Phillips knighthood, not helped by him being seen to live it up large in Monaco as a tax dodging ex-pat. Multiple celebrities coming out in support or against Sir Phillip, including the bastion of business proprietary Karen Brady.
      A few people got rich, a lot of people lost out, and many questions were never officially answered.
      And a lot of people couldn't get their pseudo posh summer dresses and chino trousers at a budget anymore, and had to go to Marks and Spencers, Top Man, and Debenhams... Until they all go bust this year or next.

      I remember when airplanes had smoking sections. Didn’t do a thing, you can’t keep smoke in one half of a flying tube from filling up the other half of the flying tube :)

      @@Elizabeth-xp2sf Yeah - in fact, it spawned a legend that smoking on a plane was good luck, because in a plane crash, only people in the smoking section (in the rear of the plane) survived

    Simon, I don't know if you'll see this comment, but I adore this channel from you. I follow all of the other ones obviously, but love this and the Casual Criminalist because you actually reveal your true self in them.
    Keep it up dude! Love from a California guy that definitely isn't a hipster because fuck all that.

    Paused the video to figure out this Edward Bernays thing. Giving the unnamed parties fake names:
    The siblings are
    Amy & Freud | Julie & Mark
    Freud marries Julie | Amy marries Mark
    So siblings married siblings.
    Amy and Mark have Edward.
    So, as dreamy Danny said, his mom's brother married his dad's sister = double uncles
    As Archer would say, whoo! That was figuratively killing me. Which is weird cos it's actually happened in my family lol

    I am old enough to remember when it was still permitted to smoke on airplanes and hospitals. I also remember frequently inhaling second hand smoke as a kid, while waiting in line for rides at Disneyland. Glorious times!

    My new favorite BB moments are when Simon says, "Who cares?" and especially when he's not sure how to pronounce something.
    (He may have been doing this from the beginning, I only just noticed a few days ago how hilarious it is when he does.)

    I thought this was going to be about recording artists PR disasters vis a vis their claims to being masters of crime. I came away disappointed, but satisfied, much in the same way one who wants spinach and onion pizza but comes away with a falafel topped pizza is disappointed and satisfied.
