A lesson on scarcity and how humans value it even when we shouldn't. If only we had shown this to all those people that bought into nfts back in the day
Hey, since you have answered me I would like to write you a little more. One beautiful thing about youtube and social media is that it actually can be used to get informed and have a productive interaction with people, if used right that is. We certainly use it much more to numb our brains than using it for engagement with important or fascinating topics. But the fact that I have the chance to talk to a real PH.D student who makes vidoes on fascinating topics is just amazing. Also a plus is that this channel is still relatively small so this creates a more familial atmosphere than a big channel. I have a degree in economics/law/social sciences and I am now a civics teacher at at Gymnasium in Germany (high school/college). I have noticed that neuro sciences and psychology starts where social sciences end. Therefor I find it really fascinating how our brains work. Let me give you an example why I think that. In civics you would often weight different types of choices as preferable and need to justify why you think like that. I.e.: Would you find it acceptable to restrict your freedom of travel if you get in exchange absolute job security for the rest of your life? How much of it would you forfeit to obtain the other? However you answer questions like these there is never a really good explanation why we come up with them. Something in our brain evaluates these things in this way or the other but I can not explain why. It is also very difficult to explain why our feelings are so unbelievably different in different parts of the word. Why do some americans feel so strong about their right to carry weapons or having a jury in court as essential parts of democracy. Why is it that noone in Germany (and I assume Britain) has the opinion that the right to carry weapons is so essential and court juries do not exist here for a 100 years. I can not give any real explanation why that is. People develop strong opinons about abstract questions like these and often identifying with things like these. Often they even have strong feelings about things they only have limited knowledge of which is downright dangerous and can lead to dogmatism and indoctrination. Neuro science might help me understand why our brains develop these ideas and very different view points. I really enjoy your videos and videos on this topic in general. It is as if i had a started a series of novels and read the first book but it ended on a cliff hanger and now started the second book and I get closure on many parts I wish you and this channel all the best. May you have a successful career as a neuro scientist and may your channel grow as quickly as possible in the future!
Thanks I really appreiciate the comment! Its a really nice thing I get to read and reply to all the comments as you say the channel is small enough. I hope I will be able to do this as it grows. Gonna continue to keep making neuroscience explainer videos! The next one is on the neuroscience of ADHD so watch this space :)
@@ZacharyCortex Hey, since you are interacting with the community I feel like writing you a little more than just that. One beautiful thing about youtube and social media is that it actually can be used to get informed and have a productive interaction with people, if used right that is. We certainly use it much more to numb our brains than using it for engagement with important or fascinating topics. But the fact that I have the chance to talk to a real PH.D student who makes vidoes on fascinating topics is just amazing. Also a plus is that this channel is still relatively small so this creates a more familial atmosphere than a big channel. I have studied economics and social sciences and I am now a civics teacher at a Gymnasium (high school/college) in Germany. One thing I has come to my mind in recent years is that neuro science starts where economics/social studies end. Let me give you an example: we often weight different preferences of different individuals. Examples of questions we ponder about are: would you forfeit your right to travel to many places in the world if that meant that you have absolute job security for the rest of your life? The thing we talk about then is what result the students have and we can describe them and put them in greater perspective. But a thing I can never is answer: why do human beings feel like that and often have extremely strong feelings about these topics? Another example: why is it so unbelievably important for us to enjoy certain freedoms when there is plenty of people who never enjoyed these freedoms yet might not feel the same in other places? Why do some americans feel so strong about the right to carry weapons or the existence of a jury in a court while here in Germany (probably Britain as well) it is very difficult to find even one person who considers the right to carry weapons essential to democracy and court juries were abolished here a 100 years ago. Why do we identify so strongly with really abstract concepts? Why do we have strong opinions on things we often have little knowledge of? That one is particularly dangerous since it leave us open for manipuloation. I digress, sorry. I noticed that neuroscience often gives answers to questions that I have to leave open in classes. It is like finishing the first book of a great series of novels and now I open up the second part that answers questions that the first one left on a cliff hanger. thank you for reading my post. May you have a long and successful career in neuro science and grow your channel much bigger since the work you are doing here is worth gold.
Ngl main reason I clicked is I just watch all of your videos. I did definetly click more quickly though dont wanna risk missing one. They're great keep it up 👍
I did click because 'ooh limited edition' initially. But I also wouldn't have stuck around if I wasn't excited over the dumb reason that I did click, and that this was your plan all along was humorous. I actually think this video was extremely informative/entertaining for those 2 reasons alone. On another note I made the mental connection between brain networks and schematas from one of your other videos. Love the channel.

If only! I think it applies to many many things! Thanks for always commenting btw! I really appreciate it :)
@@ZacharyCortex You're welcome 😊 I really hope this channel kicks off, it's really cool information.
I feel so privileged, and disappointed. Great lesson of life and psychology, thank you!
You're very welcome! Thank you for the comment!
The same questions I have seeing people herding around celebration of New Year or bs like that.
Agreed!

Actually, I’m glad I watched this video… so many things I wish I hadn’t. Time is precious…
Thank you I really appreciate that!
Ngl main reason I clicked is I just watch all of your videos. I did definetly click more quickly though dont wanna risk missing one.
They're great keep it up 👍
Really appreciate that!! :) I will do my best!
Good channel deserves more views
Thanks i really appreciate that! working on it :)

Thank you very much I really appreciate that!! I love comments like this :)
This is the biggest achievement of my life.
🤣
ooo limited edition
Yehhh just like you!
Will you use the RUclips API to increase the number of views in the title and thumbnail, always a bit higher than what the video currently has? 😅
definitely not!..............👀😂
The reason that I watched this video is not that it's going to be deleted. It's because I was bored
Yeh fair play!
Why do I feel special?
And this video was actually valuable, thanks for the fomo
You are welcome!
Oh wow that’s such a cool tshirt! Love it 🫶🏼
Oh thanks!! It was actually a present from a really really special person
Not bad idea of a video)
But I watch videos about self improvement because I have answers and I like authors who help others, they are good people
Thanks for the coment :)
you lied about it not being educational. not mad, kind of happy
Glad you are happy!
I’m watching RUclips for 13years and I have never comment on any video.
So this is my first comment here.
In which case thank you very much! :)
Interesting conceptttttttt hahahhahaha thanks
You're very welcome, thanks for the comment!
F*ck ! 😅🤣
*-views n°436*
Thanks for the comment :)
😂😂😂😂
🤣 Thanks!
Trying to clickbait fomo us
Nooooo never! Just teaching about the scarcity principle in a meta way
Jokes on you I filmed the video and now more people could see it MUHAHAHAH
(I'm lying, I'm too lazy to actually do that)
Hahaha something i didnt see anyone doing!
phewww, the scarcity can remain
View no 521. I feel betrayed...
oooo dam i lost track of it! Let me just quickly update the title and thumnail before anyone else notices! 😅 (don't tell anyone my secret plan!)
you lied tho
Did I?
@@ZacharyCortex hmmm....
