Regularly scheduled programming coming soon, but this is my first crack at a proper setup like this! Let me know what you think, what kinds of segments you'd like to see with other creators, and non-creators. If you felt like something was missing from this, or odd, or great, let me know in the replies here!
You should turn it into a podcast. I hoped you'd read AITA posts but the questions were good. Maybe publish the questions before so the audience can answer and then read some of them.
I think it would be cooler if you made these videos more like the ones you did earlier, like put the screenshots on the video, or even bring your keyboard along! But I think it was really cool and I can’t wait to see what you do next.
You get a million thumbs-up from me! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 That’s definitely a million.

The worst pain I ever felt was when I birthed my daughter. It wasn’t just normal labor. I had the pleasure of experiencing Back Labor. For those that don’t know, it’s when the baby is facing the wrong way, and cannot properly go through the birth canal. The thing about back labor, it causes contractions that are higher in intensity and don’t ever stop. The contractions peaks and just maintains straight through to the next “peak” which is just more painful. I didn’t receive my epidural until I was 9 cm dilated. There’s this thing that goes around saying that women forget pretty quickly the actual pain that childbirth was, but after 4 years, I still remember VIVIDLY exactly what it felt like and every second of the pain I was in. I had full on PTSD and still occasionally get invasive flashbacks to the contractions. For anyone pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, DO THE EXERCISES TO HELP BABY GET INTO THE RIGHT POSITION, IT MATTERS.
Oh, I didn't know that! Me and my brother both had our backs turned to the birth canal... My mom never mentioned the agony she was in. We were both delivered through C-section, although I don't know if it was done right away or if they waited until they thought they couldn't do it the natural way. I'm really sorry for what you went through... Sounds truly horrifying.

You don’t need to create a whole body, they can actually just grow the individual organs using I believe the same tech as lab grown meat. This is still in development, so not ready for actual use but it’s coming. They would be grown from your own stem cells.
There are some issues with growing individual organs that wouldn't exist with a full-body organ farm. In order to grow a single organ, they generally need a scaffolding to create the shape and structure of the organ. There can be issues with the scaffolding, depending on what it's made of. It's also harder to get cells to differentiate in a single-organ system. Think about the heart, for example. It's not just a big clump of "heart cells." The heart has muscle, fat, blood vessels, valves, cells of the sinus node that create electrical signals, etc. We can't just plonk stem cells into a petri dish and come back later to find a functional heart. But, we grow human bodies without any specialized technology. To be fair, it would be significantly more complicated to grow brainless human clones than it is for a person to get pregnant, give birth, and for the resulting person to develop into an adult. There is another crucial issue with growing either customized organs or a brainless clone to be used for transplantation. I'll use myself as an example, since it's easier than dealing in hypotheticals. I was born with an unlucky combination of genes. Not only do I have endometriosis and a handful of autoimmune diseases, I also have a rare, genetic condition that causes my body to make collagen incorrectly. So, anything in the body that's supposed to stretch and snap back--skin, tendons, ligaments, sphincters (like the one that keeps stomach acid from getting up into the esophagus), etc--acts like an old, cracked rubber band, instead. Some of my ribs dislocate multiple times a day, which is even _less_ fun than it sounds.😐😁 I heal more slowly than the average person, too. Because I'm immune suppressed to treat my autoimmune disorders, I'm also more likely to get infections. So, if scientists were to grow an organ or me, it would make the most sense to first fix at least some of the problems with my genetic code. And that's where we come up against a significant issue with knowledge and technology. While there are amazing breakthroughs every day, we still only understand a tiny fraction of the incredible things our bodies do. Scientists are currently looking for the genes which are responsible for some of my inherited conditions. Hopefully, people in the future will have access to medical technologies which will give them many more choices than what we can currently imagine. 💙
i was thinking - a full body wouldn’t grow without a brain would it? like aren’t hormones released from part of the brain to help the body grow? isn’t the brain one of the first things to develop in utero?
@@olympianagel9379these would probably be lab grown, right? So you could just give the necessary help for the body to grow that a brain would normally give automatically.
I wrote this as a separate comment, but I think my analogy jibes nicely with your response. Being "nice" is not staring at the booger hanging out of someone's nose. Being "kind" is telling them it's there, so they don't walk around with it for hours and then die a little when they finally see it in a mirror.
That hypothetical "well, they both agreed to it so it's fine" is how exploitation happens. Technically, people who work in sweat shops here in Asia agreed to it so it's fine if their health and welfare are paid with peanuts, right?
Right! That’s the hunger games, we’d have to have perfect equality to even entertain it, and no prizes ever. The only prize should be the pardon you get for the murder you committed to win the fight. You’ve got to want to fight bc of hate, not hope/help bc then you’ll get people volunteering as tribute so their kid can get surgery and stuff
@@freya2093 technically they “volunteered” bc they needed food. So the poorest people are pretty much without a choice but since the system is set up so that the only way for some people to acquire the basic necessities that are unevenly distributed and unfairly restricted amongst the population, you end up with someone who _chooses_ the deadly game because they literally have no choice. See, now, people who are starving are doing their best. Trying not to starve. They’ll do anything, and currently that might look like child labor, or horrendous factory conditions to work in, or traveling through countries into another country and risking your life to go do seasonal labor for 12 hours a day and live in shacks with no privacy just for barely enough to send home. People resort to crimes and sex work and scraping sludge from surfaces or subjecting oneself to the ongoing humiliation of being a useless pawn in the financial sector, or another bs job in tech, administrative, or food service work or freelance or having 3 jobs while delivering food to the same ppl every day, digging holes or climbing poles or putting luggage on planes. If we will go through all of this just to barely afford temporary access to someone else’s shelter, think of what we might be willing to endure for a shelter no one can ever evict us from. Or a full ride to a good college for our kids. Or a kidney transplant that your mom would die without. When people are still desperate, there’s no way this kind of setup isn’t going to push the injustice even further. It sure as hell won’t even things out. As long as they keep us thinking there’s a chance to escape we will keep searching for the magic door, instead of paying attention and checking receipts.
About that happiness thing. There was a study where scientists hooked electrodes to mice, in such a way, that a press of a button will make them happy. And when mice were allowed to press the button my themself, they stopped all other activities and only pressed the button, with barely breaks for sleeping. They stopped eating, they stopped having sex, they dropped it all, cause the button made them happier than those things, wile being less effort. So pressing the switch of all happiness would cause the extinction of humanity, cause there would be no point to doing anything cause would be already instinctively fully fulfilled, so you wouldn't have any drive to anything.
theres also the thing about empty hollow happiness, would you want everyone, good or bad, to lose their thinking, their determination to do things they care about, to only give them the end result and make them happy? for many its easy, yes, they want instant gratification and free stuff without doing any work. doesn't help that somehow someone's gotta be doing SOMETHING to make all those 'happy' things happen so clearly at least 1 person is gonna be miserable

The thing with the fight to the death is in my opinion the following: - if both do it from their free will it is ok - if they are compelled or coerced by the situation or the price it is not ok. For example someone does it to pay for their surgery bill in the USA.....
@@zackeryh250 There have been countless times in countless cultures when it was socially acceptable to engage in contests which ended with the death of one or more contestants. After all, people chose to participate in duels; jousts; martial arts; and wars, if we allow for consideration of a larger scale. It seems like the prevailing social norms which influence many--but not nearly all--countries allow for people to initiate battle to the death against Nature. We do not stop people from engaging in incredibly dangerous hobbies, sports, exhibitions, traditions, etc. There will always be _some_ form of pressure, or motivating factor(s) undergirding any kind of contest, even if it's as banal as the satisfaction of vanity. Every choice a person makes involves costs and benefits. If we dig down far enough, a plausible argument can be made that there is some level of coercion underlying everything we do. I'm skeptical about our society's ability to identify and agree on a hard boundary separating an acceptable source and level of coercion from coercion that is unacceptable. We can't even agree about whether or not emotional abuse exists, what consent in sexual and non-sexual situations entails, or what constitutes an apology.
The Happiness Switch reminds me of the Doctor Who episode New Earth where there was a patch of drugs called 'Bliss' which a huge amount of the population took and just.. died. They felt no need to do anything but just sit in bliss. In contrast, the 'Happy' patch makes people seem cheery, but also they can't really react to horrible things happening around them. Besides these, people can feel happy when committing crimes, I don't believe it would solve everything, just stunt our ability to react to situations. So hell no, I wouldn't flick that switch.
The "fight to the death thing" is literally just Dueling, which used to be done. It was 'technically' a free choice to compete, but you would often be branded a coward if you refused. It killed FAR too many people to be sensible to keep legal.
But if its to the death, chance of dying is 50%, chance of murder is also 50%. How should this be legal? Like yeah we signed a contract, i was allowed to kill the other guy? Its not just a game you're trying to win, you also have to kill the other person.
The worst pain ever? I ate nothing but huge bags of black licorice for months straight, after a few weeks I started getting sick. But I didn't know it can damage your organs and even cause heart failure. I was sweating and all by that point (I have extreme obsessive tendencies). I kept eating it and one night I woke up and my organs felt like they were turning into liquid inside my body and trying to come out. I probably should have been in hospital. It took me months to recover. Having your organs turn to what feels like liquid was soooo painful. And I've had 2 kids by c-section.
The organ harvesting question reminded me of a question I always ask people: Hypothetically, if there was a planet millions of light years away that went through the same process of evolution as us and the inhabitants are exactly like us humans, if one of us were to eat the other, would that still be considered cannibalism? We technically don’t have one common ancestor, but we are essentially the same or similar species
First, we try having sex with them. If we produce fertile offspring, it’s cannibalism. Although if we did find aliens we’d probably have a new word for eating other intelligent beings who aren’t the same species of us (or maybe we’d just change the meaning of cannibalism to refer to any species as intelligent as humans)
@@_helvetixa RUclips deleted my first reply but: If we have s*x with them and produce fertile offspring, it’d be cannibalism. If not then feast away! Although if we did discover alien life, we’d probably invent a new word for eating a member of a species with human-level intelligence (or maybe just change the definition of cannibalism to include aliens as well)
47:15 I think feeling the full spectrum of human emotion is very important for developing personality, changing harmful behavior and progress as a whole. Not to mention, is this happiness like a balm that numbs out all other emotions whether you want it to or not? Say your child or partner dies and you can't mourn even if you want to, your brain just forces you to be happy about it? Does that mean all human connection is diluted because if you lose someone it doesnt matter? Sounds like hell to me.
16:45 "JD, a 36 year old man, presents to the emergency room with stomach pain and hypercaffeinemia after having consumed 88 cans of energy drinks over the past week. Hyper, meaning over, caffeine, from the stimulating drug in coffee, and -emia, meaning presence in blood. A high presence of caffeine in his blood. This is what happened to his organs."
The “Happiness Switch” example is strikingly similar to a Marvel comic from the 80s. The plot was that Loki sought to turn the Earth into a paradise, curing disease and largely ending suffering, but it came at the cost of humanity’s creativity. While a gifted architect would be able to create something from his notes before effectively being given godhood, he wouldn’t be able to come up with any new designs. A person with a passion for cooking would be able to perfectly create food from a cookbook, but they wouldn’t be able to invent any new recipes. In the end, the people rejected the gift, as creativity was argued to be a core essence of humanity. If we lose the ability to imagine, what is the point of living?
I agree with this interpretation. A world without creativity cannot be happy in my mind. We need creativity to be fulfilled and human. Also a world without sorrow is a world without emotion. Happiness and sadness are two sides of the same coin, you can't have one without the other. A world without either would ultimately become a world without both
8:20 i just want to put out a very rare but semi contradictory point - there was a french man who had a brain scan and was found to be missing approximately 90% of his brain. he'd been living life just the same as everyone else.
@@Nataruma so do people in comas who are pronounced brain dead. brain does not necessarily equate to life or consciousness, especially when someone is operating on much less brain than we believed even possible. thus why i used the word "semi" before the word contradictory.
@@cshimi Moving the goal posts on the initial comparison. I pointed out that the man still had a functioning brain regardless of how much of it he had. As for people with severe brain injury that are pronounced braindead, there are differences between brain death and someone being in a coma, differences in brain activity and so on. In the proposed dilemma scenario the bodies in question were never developed with a brain to begin with, so they didn't lose any functionality or consciousness, therefore talking about comas and brain death is moot.
Bro, I know what Daniel is talking about, I have IBS so the cramps happen, it feels like someone is shoving a dagger up there and it comes out of nowhere too.
As a biologist, I disagree with the lab bodies hypothetical dilemma. It's not that I see the brainless bodies as unethical per say, but there are more ethical ways we could theoretically use (aka why grow a whole body when we can grow separate organs and it's much easier), especially when practically these organs would be dead in a heartbeat (as the heart wouldn't beat without brain signals)... artificially growing organs is something I know some labs work on :) so many someday
Skin donations are a thing. It could be easier to harvest skin from a framework that already mimics most people's bodies, than to try and grow skin as a flat sheet.
@ameliaduncan3236 you can donate organs from one person to another with their consent, of course, but even skin, doctors prefer more and more to use skin grafts (where you take a small piece of skin from the person in need, grow it in a lab and then sow it to the wound).
An "Erm, Actually" 🤓 ☝️ to this would be that black absorbs all the light, so your eyes don't get any light from it. In response, your brain just puts a black void there. White is basically a color overload, where your brain makes it just a white void
See, the difference is that light can be added together, and all it does is trigger more of the cone receptors in your eye. Paint, on the other hand, works by reflecting certain wavelengths of light, and absorbing the others. Black paint absorbs all wavelengths, white paint tries not to absorb any. When you combine paint, different colors absorb different wavelengths, and if one color absorbs a different paint's color, then you get less reflected light, making a darker color. This all simplifies/abstracts to "additive" vs "subtractive" color
The happiness quandry is represented very nicely in the final season of The Good Place. Everyone becomes "happiness zombies", and ultimately doesn't even know that they're actually unhappy. I wouldn't do it. There is beauty in sadness. It's like that saying of "vacations are only special because they end", I think if everyone was happy all the time, nothing even has a chance of being special anymore.
The show portrays a perfect world where everyone eventually becomes emotionally numb because there’s no contrast to that happiness. However, not everyone needs constant change or thrill to be happy. Some people find perfect happiness in monotonous routine and absolute predictability. Happiness is highly subjective and for some, the stability and familiarity of a consistent routine without changes bring a sense of peace and satisfaction.
Hey Daniel. I love that you're always experimenting with videos and doing whatever you feel will be interesting. I love your videos, and I think it takes real courage and creativity to try new things so often. I loved this Q&A type format with a quest and would sit through another one happily.
Jack. Pluto has FIVE moons (Charon, kerberos, Nyx, Styx, and Hydra). Theres also Eris (our tenth planet who also has a moon -- Dysnomia) which is the reason the definition of planets were changed and Pluto lost its planet status (I still consider Pluto and Eris a planet. Justice for my boys).
Pluto and Eris being planets but not the other "dwarf planets" is a take I haven't heard before, but it makes sense. Also, it's worth adding that Charon is almost as big as Pluto, not at all a small moon.
@@RiplashII Yes, Charon is a big moon, and almost the size of Pluto. The others are smaller, but still moons, even if they are just "a handful of gravel" (assuming you didn't mean that literally, because they are way way bigger than a handful.)
The prize existing is the problem because then people might think they’re okay with the dying more because they feel like they’d rather be defeated than live without the prize. Televising it is a problem because then the message is you will be rewarded for enacting violence, not a great message to put out. No amount of disclaimer will get rid of that message or the prize incentive
hi I was wrong about this :( the myth about liquid glass came about because old stained glass windows (in like thousand-year-old cathedrals) are thicker on the bottom than the top, leading people to think they shift over time. what actually happened is -that the glass hadnt completely cooled when they were setting up the windows so the flow happened at the time they were installed, not over hundreds of years- they sucked at making perfectly smooth panes of glass so they put the thicker side on the bottom
more like in the time they were made no pane of glass was ever perfect, and it looked better to have all the think sides on the bottom. the windows weren’t put on the building until they were fully cooled
Damn your correction contains misinformation. Thicker bases are more solid so while they were installing them it was easier to just put the thicker side down. Turns out they were just worse at making glass.
@@PhaythGamingoopsie I think I remember learning that correction to my "correction" but it clearly didn't stick in my mind well enough, thanks for pointing it out!
Today, we generally use the "float glass" method to make panes of glass, where the glass floats on top of a molten metal layer and is thus pretty uniform in thickness. The older method, called "crown glass", consisted of taking a blob of molten glass on the end of a metal rod and spinning it so that it would stretch out into a thin disc. The physics of the process naturally caused the thickness to taper, with the outer edge being thickest. The disc was then cut into pieces for window glass and, like someone else said, placed with the thicker side down because what monster would deliberately put the thick side on top? (Though there are instances when the glazier wasn't paying attention and put the thick side up or sideways by accident.) The practical limitation on the size of one disc of crown glass limited the size of rectangular panes that could be cut from it, which is why old glass panes tended to be small. Crown glass also would be left with a button of glass at the center where it attached to the metal rod. Since this wasn't very useful in terms of visual clarity, these buttons would sometimes be used in decorative windows.
Even before I heard the downside of the happiness switch I was ready to say no (I didn't think about wars and stuff) because life is about suffering, but it's about overcoming trials to be as happy as you can. Happiness is a choice, and I absolutely don't want to be happy all the time, I just can't fathom the idea. Although, if I was faced with that switch, I would panic out of existence. Maybe I'd press it, but it really also depends on how you perceive the meaning of constant happiness, loss of creativity and individuality, etc.
The worst pain. Not to be “that guy” cramps. I’ve broken a bone and tore some was either 2 ligament or tensions at the same time after falling off my skateboard as a teen. That shit was a walk in the park in comparison to every month cramps. I actually walked on that messed up foot the entire next day at school. Would rather deal with that every month.
When I had covid, I got so dehydrated that I started cramping pretty heavily. I'm a pretty muscled guy and I learned that bigger muscles means worse cramps. It felt like my muscles were trying to rip themselves off my bones. Way worse then breaking a bone or being stabbed, plus you don't have any indication on when it is going to end.
@@icelliana4684 Whole body. I ended up having to figure out which part hurt the least and just sit in that pain. If I tried to move my thighs, shoulders, calves, and abs would immediately seize so I just kinda rode it out. I'm lucky I live with my partner or else I'm pretty sure I would have just died since I couldn't move.
@@berkeleyisonline160 I’ve not been diagnosed with it because I was always told if I had it I’d know. So apparently I don’t have it just possibly mildly more painful than normal. I’m not entirely sure tbh ^^;
The glass thing. Back in the day bc how they made windows, it would essentially settle at the bottom. Modern windows don't usually have that thickness difference
Without having even watched this, I know it's going to be amazing. Please do more videos like this regarding ethical dilemmas (or anything of the sort that heavily involves opinions
Worse pain I've ever felt by far is nerve pain from a herniated disk. It's awful because the pain itself is unreal, but the fear of making a wrong move and triggering the pain is a trauma in and of itself.
Great podcast! My 2 cents, fighting to the death is a big no, who cares of they both want to, it's still murder. Definitely do not flip that happiness switch! My worst pain was when a thick solid wood bench tipped over and landed on my foot at the base of my toes. That thing must have weighed about 100 lbs. Thought for sure it must've been broken. I had to walk about a 1/4 mile back to my car afterwards with 6 dogs on leash. So much pain my vision was a black tunnel with light at the center, ears were ringing. Lots of swelling and a big bruise but I don't think any bones were broken.
1) If organs are donated once a person is brain dead, I see no problem with growing brainless bodies purely for organ donation. 2) If two people want to fight to the death for a prize, I would first want to make sure that they don't feel like it's their only option. For example, if someone is destitute, I wouldn't say they're doing it of their own free will, rather they're being coerced by their circumstances. 3) I'd be cool with gossipy cats. 4) I would not flip the switch. I agree with Jack that the progression of society would probably just halt, maybe even crumble entirely. But also, it feels like messing with free will and creating this creepy dystopian world where everyone is happy, but internally they're all screaming. It sounds like a nightmare. Plus, isn't a full spectrum of emotions something that is quite uniquely human?
That was my thought on the happiness thing…we’ve seen it countless times in media…it’s usually assimilating into some hive mind…always shown as negative. I’d be interested to see some form of media where it is shown in a good light as opposed to a dystopian hellscape
For me, the difference between "nice" and "kind" is like the difference between matching energy and being unapologetically yourself. Matching energy is an easy, passive and basically surface-level concept. You don't have to think about what to say or how to act because you're literally just aping the behavior of the person/people around you. It also is a more comfortable place for us because we can choose to use it to manipulate the situation or even another person. Similarly, being nice can be used against others with minimal effort. Sure it can be used to make someone smile or feel good as well. Either way its up to the person in question and there's usually no strings attached. It takes a lot more effort to get oneself to a point where they not only have the courage to be themselves, but to do so with confidence and pride! Most people will maybe have fleeting moments where they love who they are and aren't afraid to show it. At least without some kind of chemical encouragement, whether that be illegal drugs/alcohol abuse or even valid prescriptions. Like the above example, being kind is usually a fleeting moment here and there sprinkled throughout our lives and reserved mainly for those we cherish most. It takes courage and effort to be kind. Even if used against another, it takes compassion and empathy. It takes selflessness. Kindness takes dedication.
Glass is not a slow moving liquid. What actually happens with old windows is that the glass used to make them wasn't always of equal thickness throughout. So when it came to glazing the windows, the cut pieces were oriented with the thickest part down so that the windows were more stable and note top-heavy.
Nice is being polite to someone's face. Kind is being polite when they're not around. OR Niceness is an automatic response. Kindness takes effort and intention.
great video. Daniel youre quickly becoming one of my favorite commentary youtubers. we're hoping for a season2 of Dwtf if its picked up , fingers crossed!
Putting a prize up for the winner is the "fight to the death" question makes it unethical. Because then its no longer just two people fighting, now its a competition to kill someone.
Fun Fact: most people use the word factoid incorrectly. A factoid is a term to describe a fake/false “fact”, a statement that sounds true but isn’t. Somehow over time, people have taken it to mean a fun fact
So my thoughts on the happiness switch. I used to read a lot of dystopian novels and this kinda sounds like one of them. Like, there are a lot of huge problems that would never get fixed, any advancement would grind to a halt, and there wouldn’t be any new art. I guess I just feel like if we’re all the same, and we can’t create anything, are we still really human? To me it just feels like too big a tradeoff. (Though I love art and creating things so I’m probably biased)
For me, creation is happiness. An existence without being creative would be hell for me. This switch would basically lobotomize everyone. If your baseline is always happy, and you're not allowed to feel anything else, then how do we mourn? How would we learn from our mistakes? They wouldn't even be "mistakes", because we wouldn't be able to care. We'd be completely content fking up, or doing nothing at all. It kind of reminds me of Idiocracy. They live in a garbage dump, with a ridiculous amount of crime, and yet they're all happy and blissfully unaware... because they're all effectively stupid. Happiness switch = Stupidity switch
There's another RUclipsr I watch who says something to the effect of, "It's cheaper to be a good person." He wasn't just talking about money (though, he had so many examples where that was literally true), but about opportunity costs, time, effort, lives, health, happiness, etc. It's one of those things that has stuck with me.
The average cumulus cloud which is a fair-weather cloud weighs about 1.1 million pounds to reference the point you guys have been making in the video of making that makes sense that's about 100 elephants
I think you could only give a prize to the winner in a fight-to-the-death style match if that prize was small. Like, hooray, here’s a $5 iTunes gift card. The real prize is you survived! But if you’re putting millions of dollars on the line, you’re gonna get a Squid Games situation where the poor are killing each other for sport to potentially give them and their families a better life. That’s not very demure, definitely not mindful.
Yup. As soon as there is a 3rd party involved (especially one that isn't putting their life on the line) an audience, a prize etc. it becomes extremely morally grey for me. Is this really worth it or are you being coerced in some manner, not to mention the 3rd party is getting something out of this without putting down the same on the line and that is extremely exploitative to me. Or at the very least you cannot prove it was not exploitative. which would make it difficult to moderate... But If it were a private affair, a duel where each side wagering something they own, and it's winner takes all... Like truly consenting adults with no power imbalance and no 3rd party getting something out of it? I don't think I have as much of an issue with that?
Yeah, I don't care if two people duel to the death for the others house or whatever on their own volition , but it shouldn't be encouraged. As soon as murder is a sport, people are killing each other with the influence of someone else's encouragement, and it should be banned.
Talking about the Worst Pain I have experienced. I hand an external hemroid removel, which ends up putting stitches right on the ring of the hole. And the pain meds they gave me caused constipation. I was also afraid to use the bathroom since it hurt so bad, and i ended up getting constipated. Having the pain of stitches on your body getting pulled as far as they can in the most sensitive area. I felt like i was going to die, i was in the bathroom the entire day. I had to take 3 different laxative to where my body tensing from the pain couldn't hold it back anymore. And i have never felt more pain in my life than what had happened that day.
My most painful moment is either getting a worm in my stomach in Vanuatu and having diarrhea for a month (I remember shitting foam, FOAM) or when I dislocated my knee, because I live in a rural area it took 45 minutes for the ambulance to arrive luckily however first responders got to me within 15 minutes and gave me some drugs but that still hasn't and probably will never properly heal.

I broke my toe. Pinky toe. Hard to explain. I was sitting down into a chair while stepping over stuff. The chair was much lighter than expected, so as I was grabbing it to sit down into it, it lifted up and then slammed down with my full weight onto my pinky toe. Felt like I'd stubbed it really badly (I've stubbed it really badly before), so I just assumed the pain would dissipate after a bit. It didn't. It was weirdly numb, so I looked down and it was bleeding through my sock. I couldn't walk normally. Broken stuff has a lot more impact than you might expect on your day-to-day activities. To me, headaches are the worst pain, though. I always try to stubbornly push through it, but it will severely inhibit my ability to do things. Sleep schedules are important and I need to keep one. It's gotten so bad that it feels like I'm being zapped behind my eyeball.
39:30 it’s the difference between pigment colors and light spectrum colors. The three base pigment colors are yellow, cyan, and magenta (like a printer) while the three base light spectrum colors are red, green, and blue (RGB). When you combine all the pigment colors you get black, and when you combine all the light spectrum colors you get white.
Worst pain I have ever felt is easily drowning. I am lucky to have survived drowning and being legally dead for 1 minute and 24 seconds. I was 2 almost 3 at the time and I can still remember the pain. The weirdest thing is you feel a boat load of pain for like 10 seconds then for about a second or so you feel really calm. I think it was oddly the most relaxed I have ever felt. Then the pain and and panic comes back and then nothing. It all happens in about 30 seconds or less but it feels like hours. I have never even gotten close to that pain. The water was also chlorinated water so it burned my lungs, throat, nose and stomach. I had RADS (kind of like asthma) and a hard time speaking, eating, drinking, ect. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks and had a few surgeries. I have made an almost complete recovery but I still have trouble breathing and anything that has chlorine smell with make my lungs burn, kind of like a slight heart burn but in your lungs. I also gain Thalassophobia.
Interesting. We probably crossed paths many times. I lived down the road from Celebration Station in Clearwater Florida. In a neighborhood of US 19. Small world man!
About the ethical dilemma (great one by the way), I’m all for it. It’s a very weird concept but still, as you guys said: it is equivalent to organ donors. The key point is always to regulate it and to contain the information to knowledgeable people; basically because it might sound wrong to some more sensitive people. I mean, I recently watched a video of a real actual company in Switzerland and Germany that allows to freeze your body for years so to preserve your bodily functions and to unfreeze you in the future, like in Futurama. I’m not kidding, it’s cryogenic therapy and the company is called Tomorrow
I don't think happiness is the ultimate good in the world. Even without the drawback, taking away sadness, anger, and hurt is just a bad idea. We need those things to process what's wrong in the world.

The worst pain I ever felt was when I birthed my daughter. It wasn’t just normal labor. I had the pleasure of experiencing Back Labor. For those that don’t know, it’s when the baby is facing the wrong way, and cannot properly go through the birth canal. The thing about back labor, it causes contractions that are higher in intensity and don’t ever stop. The contractions peaks and just maintains straight through to the next “peak” which is just more painful. I didn’t receive my epidural until I was 9 cm dilated. There’s this thing that goes around saying that women forget pretty quickly the actual pain that childbirth was, but after 4 years, I still remember VIVIDLY exactly what it felt like and every second of the pain I was in. I had full on PTSD and still occasionally get invasive flashbacks to the contractions. For anyone pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, DO THE EXERCISES TO HELP BABY GET INTO THE RIGHT POSITION, IT MATTERS.
How’s the baby doing now?
Oh, I didn't know that! Me and my brother both had our backs turned to the birth canal... My mom never mentioned the agony she was in. We were both delivered through C-section, although I don't know if it was done right away or if they waited until they thought they couldn't do it the natural way.
I'm really sorry for what you went through... Sounds truly horrifying.

"Pokemon GO to the organs" is an absolutely wild thing to say. Well done.
You don’t need to create a whole body, they can actually just grow the individual organs using I believe the same tech as lab grown meat. This is still in development, so not ready for actual use but it’s coming. They would be grown from your own stem cells.
I heard about this! This would also prevent the organ from being rejected so its truly an incredible future option
There are some issues with growing individual organs that wouldn't exist with a full-body organ farm. In order to grow a single organ, they generally need a scaffolding to create the shape and structure of the organ. There can be issues with the scaffolding, depending on what it's made of.
It's also harder to get cells to differentiate in a single-organ system. Think about the heart, for example. It's not just a big clump of "heart cells." The heart has muscle, fat, blood vessels, valves, cells of the sinus node that create electrical signals, etc. We can't just plonk stem cells into a petri dish and come back later to find a functional heart. But, we grow human bodies without any specialized technology. To be fair, it would be significantly more complicated to grow brainless human clones than it is for a person to get pregnant, give birth, and for the resulting person to develop into an adult.
There is another crucial issue with growing either customized organs or a brainless clone to be used for transplantation. I'll use myself as an example, since it's easier than dealing in hypotheticals. I was born with an unlucky combination of genes. Not only do I have endometriosis and a handful of autoimmune diseases, I also have a rare, genetic condition that causes my body to make collagen incorrectly. So, anything in the body that's supposed to stretch and snap back--skin, tendons, ligaments, sphincters (like the one that keeps stomach acid from getting up into the esophagus), etc--acts like an old, cracked rubber band, instead. Some of my ribs dislocate multiple times a day, which is even _less_ fun than it sounds.😐😁 I heal more slowly than the average person, too. Because I'm immune suppressed to treat my autoimmune disorders, I'm also more likely to get infections.
So, if scientists were to grow an organ or me, it would make the most sense to first fix at least some of the problems with my genetic code. And that's where we come up against a significant issue with knowledge and technology. While there are amazing breakthroughs every day, we still only understand a tiny fraction of the incredible things our bodies do. Scientists are currently looking for the genes which are responsible for some of my inherited conditions.
Hopefully, people in the future will have access to medical technologies which will give them many more choices than what we can currently imagine. 💙
i was thinking - a full body wouldn’t grow without a brain would it? like aren’t hormones released from part of the brain to help the body grow? isn’t the brain one of the first things to develop in utero?
@@olympianagel9379these would probably be lab grown, right? So you could just give the necessary help for the body to grow that a brain would normally give automatically.
I think their ethical dilemma is more like those movies where people grow themselves a clone as a "spare" of everything.
Nice = Surface Level/Empty Gesture
Kind = A Genuine Interest/Human Connection
I wrote this as a separate comment, but I think my analogy jibes nicely with your response.
Being "nice" is not staring at the booger hanging out of someone's nose.
Being "kind" is telling them it's there, so they don't walk around with it for hours and then die a little when they finally see it in a mirror.
Nice originally meant precise and/or accurate.

That hypothetical "well, they both agreed to it so it's fine" is how exploitation happens. Technically, people who work in sweat shops here in Asia agreed to it so it's fine if their health and welfare are paid with peanuts, right?
Right! That’s the hunger games, we’d have to have perfect equality to even entertain it, and no prizes ever. The only prize should be the pardon you get for the murder you committed to win the fight. You’ve got to want to fight bc of hate, not hope/help bc then you’ll get people volunteering as tribute so their kid can get surgery and stuff
@@rainbomgI mean they don’t agree to it in the hunger games 🤣
@@freya2093 technically they “volunteered” bc they needed food. So the poorest people are pretty much without a choice but since the system is set up so that the only way for some people to acquire the basic necessities that are unevenly distributed and unfairly restricted amongst the population, you end up with someone who _chooses_ the deadly game because they literally have no choice.
See, now, people who are starving are doing their best. Trying not to starve. They’ll do anything, and currently that might look like child labor, or horrendous factory conditions to work in, or traveling through countries into another country and risking your life to go do seasonal labor for 12 hours a day and live in shacks with no privacy just for barely enough to send home. People resort to crimes and sex work and scraping sludge from surfaces or subjecting oneself to the ongoing humiliation of being a useless pawn in the financial sector, or another bs job in tech, administrative, or food service work or freelance or having 3 jobs while delivering food to the same ppl every day, digging holes or climbing poles or putting luggage on planes. If we will go through all of this just to barely afford temporary access to someone else’s shelter, think of what we might be willing to endure for a shelter no one can ever evict us from. Or a full ride to a good college for our kids. Or a kidney transplant that your mom would die without.
When people are still desperate, there’s no way this kind of setup isn’t going to push the injustice even further. It sure as hell won’t even things out. As long as they keep us thinking there’s a chance to escape we will keep searching for the magic door, instead of paying attention and checking receipts.
@@freya2093 yeah lmao thats kinda the point, how did he miss that
I think we can all agree that it's not consent if it's exploitation.
About that happiness thing.
There was a study where scientists hooked electrodes to mice, in such a way, that a press of a button will make them happy. And when mice were allowed to press the button my themself, they stopped all other activities and only pressed the button, with barely breaks for sleeping.
They stopped eating, they stopped having sex, they dropped it all, cause the button made them happier than those things, wile being less effort.
So pressing the switch of all happiness would cause the extinction of humanity, cause there would be no point to doing anything cause would be already instinctively fully fulfilled, so you wouldn't have any drive to anything.
theres also the thing about empty hollow happiness, would you want everyone, good or bad, to lose their thinking, their determination to do things they care about, to only give them the end result and make them happy? for many its easy, yes, they want instant gratification and free stuff without doing any work.
doesn't help that somehow someone's gotta be doing SOMETHING to make all those 'happy' things happen so clearly at least 1 person is gonna be miserable

The thing with the fight to the death is in my opinion the following:
- if both do it from their free will it is ok
- if they are compelled or coerced by the situation or the price it is not ok. For example someone does it to pay for their surgery bill in the USA.....
Agreed. An interesting alternate thought, could you fight to the death knowing you may die, but in order to live you have to kill someone?
I don't think there is a reasonable situation in which two people would fight to the death without any form of coercion.
@@zackeryh250 There have been countless times in countless cultures when it was socially acceptable to engage in contests which ended with the death of one or more contestants.
After all, people chose to participate in duels; jousts; martial arts; and wars, if we allow for consideration of a larger scale.
It seems like the prevailing social norms which influence many--but not nearly all--countries allow for people to initiate battle to the death against Nature. We do not stop people from engaging in incredibly dangerous hobbies, sports, exhibitions, traditions, etc.
There will always be _some_ form of pressure, or motivating factor(s) undergirding any kind of contest, even if it's as banal as the satisfaction of vanity. Every choice a person makes involves costs and benefits. If we dig down far enough, a plausible argument can be made that there is some level of coercion underlying everything we do. I'm skeptical about our society's ability to identify and agree on a hard boundary separating an acceptable source and level of coercion from coercion that is unacceptable. We can't even agree about whether or not emotional abuse exists, what consent in sexual and non-sexual situations entails, or what constitutes an apology.
So why do we help suicidal people?
They want to kill themselves and arent getting anything in return
The Happiness Switch reminds me of the Doctor Who episode New Earth where there was a patch of drugs called 'Bliss' which a huge amount of the population took and just.. died. They felt no need to do anything but just sit in bliss. In contrast, the 'Happy' patch makes people seem cheery, but also they can't really react to horrible things happening around them.
Besides these, people can feel happy when committing crimes, I don't believe it would solve everything, just stunt our ability to react to situations. So hell no, I wouldn't flick that switch.
The "fight to the death thing" is literally just Dueling, which used to be done. It was 'technically' a free choice to compete, but you would often be branded a coward if you refused. It killed FAR too many people to be sensible to keep legal.
Only about 20% of duels ended in death.
@@RiplashII that's still a lot of people, and you still have to think about all the injuries in a time without modern medicine
But if its to the death, chance of dying is 50%, chance of murder is also 50%. How should this be legal? Like yeah we signed a contract, i was allowed to kill the other guy? Its not just a game you're trying to win, you also have to kill the other person.
The worst pain ever? I ate nothing but huge bags of black licorice for months straight, after a few weeks I started getting sick. But I didn't know it can damage your organs and even cause heart failure. I was sweating and all by that point (I have extreme obsessive tendencies). I kept eating it and one night I woke up and my organs felt like they were turning into liquid inside my body and trying to come out. I probably should have been in hospital. It took me months to recover. Having your organs turn to what feels like liquid was soooo painful. And I've had 2 kids by c-section.
Hey quick question, why
Nah cos I wanna know too, why??@@grandmoffjake6871

The organ harvesting question reminded me of a question I always ask people:
Hypothetically, if there was a planet millions of light years away that went through the same process of evolution as us and the inhabitants are exactly like us humans, if one of us were to eat the other, would that still be considered cannibalism? We technically don’t have one common ancestor, but we are essentially the same or similar species
First, we try having sex with them. If we produce fertile offspring, it’s cannibalism.
Although if we did find aliens we’d probably have a new word for eating other intelligent beings who aren’t the same species of us (or maybe we’d just change the meaning of cannibalism to refer to any species as intelligent as humans)
No
Yes cannibalism
It wouldn't be cannibalism, but it *would* still be messed up.
@@_helvetixa RUclips deleted my first reply but:
If we have s*x with them and produce fertile offspring, it’d be cannibalism. If not then feast away!
Although if we did discover alien life, we’d probably invent a new word for eating a member of a species with human-level intelligence (or maybe just change the definition of cannibalism to include aliens as well)
47:15 I think feeling the full spectrum of human emotion is very important for developing personality, changing harmful behavior and progress as a whole.
Not to mention, is this happiness like a balm that numbs out all other emotions whether you want it to or not? Say your child or partner dies and you can't mourn even if you want to, your brain just forces you to be happy about it? Does that mean all human connection is diluted because if you lose someone it doesnt matter?
Sounds like hell to me.

The “Happiness Switch” example is strikingly similar to a Marvel comic from the 80s. The plot was that Loki sought to turn the Earth into a paradise, curing disease and largely ending suffering, but it came at the cost of humanity’s creativity.
While a gifted architect would be able to create something from his notes before effectively being given godhood, he wouldn’t be able to come up with any new designs. A person with a passion for cooking would be able to perfectly create food from a cookbook, but they wouldn’t be able to invent any new recipes.
In the end, the people rejected the gift, as creativity was argued to be a core essence of humanity. If we lose the ability to imagine, what is the point of living?
I dont think flipping the switch would be worth it? would the amount of happiness you have before you die equal to a whole human life?
I agree with this interpretation. A world without creativity cannot be happy in my mind. We need creativity to be fulfilled and human. Also a world without sorrow is a world without emotion. Happiness and sadness are two sides of the same coin, you can't have one without the other. A world without either would ultimately become a world without both
“Happiness is ignorance” is honestly a pretty hard bar…

8:20 i just want to put out a very rare but semi contradictory point - there was a french man who had a brain scan and was found to be missing approximately 90% of his brain. he'd been living life just the same as everyone else.
It's not contradictory, he still had some brain.
@@Nataruma so do people in comas who are pronounced brain dead. brain does not necessarily equate to life or consciousness, especially when someone is operating on much less brain than we believed even possible. thus why i used the word "semi" before the word contradictory.
@@cshimi Moving the goal posts on the initial comparison. I pointed out that the man still had a functioning brain regardless of how much of it he had. As for people with severe brain injury that are pronounced braindead, there are differences between brain death and someone being in a coma, differences in brain activity and so on. In the proposed dilemma scenario the bodies in question were never developed with a brain to begin with, so they didn't lose any functionality or consciousness, therefore talking about comas and brain death is moot.
Bro, I know what Daniel is talking about, I have IBS so the cramps happen, it feels like someone is shoving a dagger up there and it comes out of nowhere too.
As a biologist, I disagree with the lab bodies hypothetical dilemma. It's not that I see the brainless bodies as unethical per say, but there are more ethical ways we could theoretically use (aka why grow a whole body when we can grow separate organs and it's much easier), especially when practically these organs would be dead in a heartbeat (as the heart wouldn't beat without brain signals)... artificially growing organs is something I know some labs work on :) so many someday
Skin donations are a thing. It could be easier to harvest skin from a framework that already mimics most people's bodies, than to try and grow skin as a flat sheet.
@ameliaduncan3236 you can donate organs from one person to another with their consent, of course, but even skin, doctors prefer more and more to use skin grafts (where you take a small piece of skin from the person in need, grow it in a lab and then sow it to the wound).
But the heart can beat on it's own. It is not dependent on the brain, the brain simply has methods nudge the heart to speed up or down
White is all the colors of light put together, black is all the colors of paint put together.
An "Erm, Actually" 🤓 ☝️ to this would be that black absorbs all the light, so your eyes don't get any light from it. In response, your brain just puts a black void there. White is basically a color overload, where your brain makes it just a white void
exactly its like physical subtractive pigment based color vs additive the way light is, since the more light you have the less shadow there would be.
See, the difference is that light can be added together, and all it does is trigger more of the cone receptors in your eye.
Paint, on the other hand, works by reflecting certain wavelengths of light, and absorbing the others. Black paint absorbs all wavelengths, white paint tries not to absorb any. When you combine paint, different colors absorb different wavelengths, and if one color absorbs a different paint's color, then you get less reflected light, making a darker color.
This all simplifies/abstracts to "additive" vs "subtractive" color
The happiness quandry is represented very nicely in the final season of The Good Place. Everyone becomes "happiness zombies", and ultimately doesn't even know that they're actually unhappy.
I wouldn't do it. There is beauty in sadness. It's like that saying of "vacations are only special because they end", I think if everyone was happy all the time, nothing even has a chance of being special anymore.
It's also the exact premise of the short story "Harrison Bergeron". I love stuff like this
The show portrays a perfect world where everyone eventually becomes emotionally numb because there’s no contrast to that happiness. However, not everyone needs constant change or thrill to be happy. Some people find perfect happiness in monotonous routine and absolute predictability. Happiness is highly subjective and for some, the stability and familiarity of a consistent routine without changes bring a sense of peace and satisfaction.
this was so much fun and so podcasty, love it.
this is genuinely interesting, I usually get lost in podcasts but this is sooo entertaining and cool, please continue with these🙏
Can true happiness really exist with no sadness? There has to be a balance!
That's an interesting point. Would you even know what happiness is if that was the only emotion?
I feel like the premise of the hypothetical is that the happiness is permanent, which means we wouldn't build a tolerance to it like we currently do

Jack. Pluto has FIVE moons (Charon, kerberos, Nyx, Styx, and Hydra). Theres also Eris (our tenth planet who also has a moon -- Dysnomia) which is the reason the definition of planets were changed and Pluto lost its planet status (I still consider Pluto and Eris a planet. Justice for my boys).
Pluto and Eris being planets but not the other "dwarf planets" is a take I haven't heard before, but it makes sense. Also, it's worth adding that Charon is almost as big as Pluto, not at all a small moon.
Can you really even call them moons? It's more like a handful of gravel.
@@RiplashII Yes, Charon is a big moon, and almost the size of Pluto. The others are smaller, but still moons, even if they are just "a handful of gravel" (assuming you didn't mean that literally, because they are way way bigger than a handful.)
The prize existing is the problem because then people might think they’re okay with the dying more because they feel like they’d rather be defeated than live without the prize.

No amount of disclaimer will get rid of that message or the prize incentive
hi I was wrong about this :(
the myth about liquid glass came about because old stained glass windows (in like thousand-year-old cathedrals) are thicker on the bottom than the top, leading people to think they shift over time. what actually happened is -that the glass hadnt completely cooled when they were setting up the windows so the flow happened at the time they were installed, not over hundreds of years- they sucked at making perfectly smooth panes of glass so they put the thicker side on the bottom
more like in the time they were made no pane of glass was ever perfect, and it looked better to have all the think sides on the bottom. the windows weren’t put on the building until they were fully cooled
Damn your correction contains misinformation. Thicker bases are more solid so while they were installing them it was easier to just put the thicker side down. Turns out they were just worse at making glass.
@@PhaythGamingoopsie I think I remember learning that correction to my "correction" but it clearly didn't stick in my mind well enough, thanks for pointing it out!
Today, we generally use the "float glass" method to make panes of glass, where the glass floats on top of a molten metal layer and is thus pretty uniform in thickness. The older method, called "crown glass", consisted of taking a blob of molten glass on the end of a metal rod and spinning it so that it would stretch out into a thin disc. The physics of the process naturally caused the thickness to taper, with the outer edge being thickest. The disc was then cut into pieces for window glass and, like someone else said, placed with the thicker side down because what monster would deliberately put the thick side on top? (Though there are instances when the glazier wasn't paying attention and put the thick side up or sideways by accident.) The practical limitation on the size of one disc of crown glass limited the size of rectangular panes that could be cut from it, which is why old glass panes tended to be small. Crown glass also would be left with a button of glass at the center where it attached to the metal rod. Since this wasn't very useful in terms of visual clarity, these buttons would sometimes be used in decorative windows.
I like how the correction was written, actually pretty funny dude
Nice is giving a homeless person your change, kindness is talking them and treating them like they're people too.
Even before I heard the downside of the happiness switch I was ready to say no (I didn't think about wars and stuff) because life is about suffering, but it's about overcoming trials to be as happy as you can. Happiness is a choice, and I absolutely don't want to be happy all the time, I just can't fathom the idea.
Although, if I was faced with that switch, I would panic out of existence. Maybe I'd press it, but it really also depends on how you perceive the meaning of constant happiness, loss of creativity and individuality, etc.
The worst pain. Not to be “that guy” cramps. I’ve broken a bone and tore some was either 2 ligament or tensions at the same time after falling off my skateboard as a teen. That shit was a walk in the park in comparison to every month cramps. I actually walked on that messed up foot the entire next day at school. Would rather deal with that every month.
When I had covid, I got so dehydrated that I started cramping pretty heavily. I'm a pretty muscled guy and I learned that bigger muscles means worse cramps. It felt like my muscles were trying to rip themselves off my bones. Way worse then breaking a bone or being stabbed, plus you don't have any indication on when it is going to end.

I would love to see a regular segment with Jack like this!! You both are incredibly entertaining
I wasn't expecting the Celebration Station namedrop! It's so quintessentially Clearwater that hearing it was your first job makes me smile.
Great podcast! My 2 cents, fighting to the death is a big no, who cares of they both want to, it's still murder. Definitely do not flip that happiness switch! My worst pain was when a thick solid wood bench tipped over and landed on my foot at the base of my toes. That thing must have weighed about 100 lbs. Thought for sure it must've been broken. I had to walk about a 1/4 mile back to my car afterwards with 6 dogs on leash. So much pain my vision was a black tunnel with light at the center, ears were ringing. Lots of swelling and a big bruise but I don't think any bones were broken.
1) If organs are donated once a person is brain dead, I see no problem with growing brainless bodies purely for organ donation.
2) If two people want to fight to the death for a prize, I would first want to make sure that they don't feel like it's their only option. For example, if someone is destitute, I wouldn't say they're doing it of their own free will, rather they're being coerced by their circumstances.
3) I'd be cool with gossipy cats.
4) I would not flip the switch. I agree with Jack that the progression of society would probably just halt, maybe even crumble entirely. But also, it feels like messing with free will and creating this creepy dystopian world where everyone is happy, but internally they're all screaming. It sounds like a nightmare. Plus, isn't a full spectrum of emotions something that is quite uniquely human?
That was my thought on the happiness thing…we’ve seen it countless times in media…it’s usually assimilating into some hive mind…always shown as negative. I’d be interested to see some form of media where it is shown in a good light as opposed to a dystopian hellscape
For me, the difference between "nice" and "kind" is like the difference between matching energy and being unapologetically yourself.
Matching energy is an easy, passive and basically surface-level concept. You don't have to think about what to say or how to act because you're literally just aping the behavior of the person/people around you. It also is a more comfortable place for us because we can choose to use it to manipulate the situation or even another person.
Similarly, being nice can be used against others with minimal effort. Sure it can be used to make someone smile or feel good as well. Either way its up to the person in question and there's usually no strings attached.
It takes a lot more effort to get oneself to a point where they not only have the courage to be themselves, but to do so with confidence and pride! Most people will maybe have fleeting moments where they love who they are and aren't afraid to show it. At least without some kind of chemical encouragement, whether that be illegal drugs/alcohol abuse or even valid prescriptions.
Like the above example, being kind is usually a fleeting moment here and there sprinkled throughout our lives and reserved mainly for those we cherish most. It takes courage and effort to be kind. Even if used against another, it takes compassion and empathy. It takes selflessness. Kindness takes dedication.
That is a creepy ass table.
Edit: this is the best video I’ve watched in a month. This needs to be a regular thing.
I love those swanky, blue chairs.
XD They look perfect for people who fidget a lot, and those bois are putting them to work!
Glass is not a slow moving liquid. What actually happens with old windows is that the glass used to make them wasn't always of equal thickness throughout. So when it came to glazing the windows, the cut pieces were oriented with the thickest part down so that the windows were more stable and note top-heavy.
2 of my favorite RUclipsrs
Nice is being polite to someone's face.
Kind is being polite when they're not around.
OR
Niceness is an automatic response.
Kindness takes effort and intention.
Thoroughly enjoy listening to both of you.
great video. Daniel youre quickly becoming one of my favorite commentary youtubers. we're hoping for a season2 of Dwtf if its picked up , fingers crossed!
When jack laughed at the beginning, I thought Zack Kornfeld was in the room💀
Putting a prize up for the winner is the "fight to the death" question makes it unethical. Because then its no longer just two people fighting, now its a competition to kill someone.
Fun Fact: most people use the word factoid incorrectly. A factoid is a term to describe a fake/false “fact”, a statement that sounds true but isn’t.
Somehow over time, people have taken it to mean a fun fact
Probably just because it's more fun to say.
18:58 anyone who menstruates understands the pain of a butt spasm😮💨
You could just say women
@@wilhelmbuzzkyll i could but im not trying to be labeled as a terf!
@@cshimiFrustrating, isn't it?
Both the menstrual pains and the TERF accusations
I menstruate and I've never experienced anything like that, is this a common experience I jsust didn't know about??
@@Musicanimedork01I envy you. Pretty sure my mom never experienced them either. I hope you never do cause they SUCK
So my thoughts on the happiness switch. I used to read a lot of dystopian novels and this kinda sounds like one of them. Like, there are a lot of huge problems that would never get fixed, any advancement would grind to a halt, and there wouldn’t be any new art. I guess I just feel like if we’re all the same, and we can’t create anything, are we still really human? To me it just feels like too big a tradeoff. (Though I love art and creating things so I’m probably biased)
For me, creation is happiness. An existence without being creative would be hell for me. This switch would basically lobotomize everyone. If your baseline is always happy, and you're not allowed to feel anything else, then how do we mourn? How would we learn from our mistakes? They wouldn't even be "mistakes", because we wouldn't be able to care. We'd be completely content fking up, or doing nothing at all. It kind of reminds me of Idiocracy. They live in a garbage dump, with a ridiculous amount of crime, and yet they're all happy and blissfully unaware... because they're all effectively stupid.
Happiness switch = Stupidity switch
this is what I've been wanting for a while. more group work and chillouts
Swivel chairs? Now that is a good set
I have PTS(M)D. When Daniel adjusted his cushion, I thought he was pulling out a surprise microphone!
Glad to see Jacksfilms and Daniel collab that I never realized I needed.
i don't understand when intelligent people are not kind...if you think about it enough, kindness is the best option
There's another RUclipsr I watch who says something to the effect of, "It's cheaper to be a good person." He wasn't just talking about money (though, he had so many examples where that was literally true), but about opportunity costs, time, effort, lives, health, happiness, etc. It's one of those things that has stuck with me.
Have you ever been in a fist fight because you made eye contact with the wrong person?
The average cumulus cloud which is a fair-weather cloud weighs about 1.1 million pounds to reference the point you guys have been making in the video of making that makes sense that's about 100 elephants
I got wayy too excited when Jack started saying pi, cause I know 100 decimals and I love it.
I’m so sh'' with numbers I can't remember the second digit 😭😭
23:28 you should try the period cramps simulator, see if there’s a difference
I think you could only give a prize to the winner in a fight-to-the-death style match if that prize was small. Like, hooray, here’s a $5 iTunes gift card. The real prize is you survived! But if you’re putting millions of dollars on the line, you’re gonna get a Squid Games situation where the poor are killing each other for sport to potentially give them and their families a better life. That’s not very demure, definitely not mindful.
Yup. As soon as there is a 3rd party involved (especially one that isn't putting their life on the line) an audience, a prize etc. it becomes extremely morally grey for me. Is this really worth it or are you being coerced in some manner, not to mention the 3rd party is getting something out of this without putting down the same on the line and that is extremely exploitative to me. Or at the very least you cannot prove it was not exploitative. which would make it difficult to moderate...
But If it were a private affair, a duel where each side wagering something they own, and it's winner takes all... Like truly consenting adults with no power imbalance and no 3rd party getting something out of it? I don't think I have as much of an issue with that?
Still would be hell to moderate to make sure it's not being exploited in some way. Because people inevitably will.
Yeah, I don't care if two people duel to the death for the others house or whatever on their own volition , but it shouldn't be encouraged. As soon as murder is a sport, people are killing each other with the influence of someone else's encouragement, and it should be banned.
For the watching people die thing - I mean, I saw Dale Earnhart die on TV. Wasn't planning on it, but here we are...
Talking about the Worst Pain I have experienced.
I hand an external hemroid removel, which ends up putting stitches right on the ring of the hole. And the pain meds they gave me caused constipation. I was also afraid to use the bathroom since it hurt so bad, and i ended up getting constipated. Having the pain of stitches on your body getting pulled as far as they can in the most sensitive area. I felt like i was going to die, i was in the bathroom the entire day. I had to take 3 different laxative to where my body tensing from the pain couldn't hold it back anymore. And i have never felt more pain in my life than what had happened that day.
Celebration Station is such a deep cut for me, was not expecting to be brought back to my childhood here
My most painful moment is either getting a worm in my stomach in Vanuatu and having diarrhea for a month (I remember shitting foam, FOAM) or when I dislocated my knee, because I live in a rural area it took 45 minutes for the ambulance to arrive luckily however first responders got to me within 15 minutes and gave me some drugs but that still hasn't and probably will never properly heal.
I want to mention that I am subscribed to this Channel and was watching it earlier, and I came back to finish watching it and it didn't show on my RUclips results. I literally had to go to my history to find it. This is how channels get killed
Worst physical pain I've had: IUD INSERTION!!
Room is a little echoey and a bit plain. Put up a big tapestry or something behind you and that should help with both. Conversation is good though and the plants are nice
One thing people often forget about the whole fight to the death thing is that people already do that.
Wars have been happening for a long time now.
48:27 When I was dating my ex, I said something about how I parted my hair differently that day. And he goes, "You can part your hair a different way? I just always thought it grew in one direction and you can't change the direction your hair goes."😅 Like huh? How has this man survived? He himself has parted his hair in multiple ways! I have NO clue how this concept has never registered with him
Is that why he’s your ex?
Specifically Wren with his series of universal scale. Love all of Corridor they are amazing and great inspirations. This format really works plus jacksfilms is a great guest. Well done mr thrash
I am stoned as hell 7:05 love this
I broke my toe. Pinky toe. Hard to explain. I was sitting down into a chair while stepping over stuff. The chair was much lighter than expected, so as I was grabbing it to sit down into it, it lifted up and then slammed down with my full weight onto my pinky toe. Felt like I'd stubbed it really badly (I've stubbed it really badly before), so I just assumed the pain would dissipate after a bit. It didn't. It was weirdly numb, so I looked down and it was bleeding through my sock. I couldn't walk normally. Broken stuff has a lot more impact than you might expect on your day-to-day activities.
To me, headaches are the worst pain, though. I always try to stubbornly push through it, but it will severely inhibit my ability to do things. Sleep schedules are important and I need to keep one. It's gotten so bad that it feels like I'm being zapped behind my eyeball.
God could've flipped that switch, and He chose not to.
exactly. Because without a choice there is no love
PLEASE START A PODCAST. This is the craziest crossover I’ve seen in a while
ALSO I love space holy shit it’s so. Boggling
39:30 it’s the difference between pigment colors and light spectrum colors. The three base pigment colors are yellow, cyan, and magenta (like a printer) while the three base light spectrum colors are red, green, and blue (RGB). When you combine all the pigment colors you get black, and when you combine all the light spectrum colors you get white.
The collab I didn't know I needed ❤
Worst pain I have ever felt is easily drowning. I am lucky to have survived drowning and being legally dead for 1 minute and 24 seconds. I was 2 almost 3 at the time and I can still remember the pain. The weirdest thing is you feel a boat load of pain for like 10 seconds then for about a second or so you feel really calm. I think it was oddly the most relaxed I have ever felt. Then the pain and and panic comes back and then nothing. It all happens in about 30 seconds or less but it feels like hours. I have never even gotten close to that pain. The water was also chlorinated water so it burned my lungs, throat, nose and stomach. I had RADS (kind of like asthma) and a hard time speaking, eating, drinking, ect. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks and had a few surgeries. I have made an almost complete recovery but I still have trouble breathing and anything that has chlorine smell with make my lungs burn, kind of like a slight heart burn but in your lungs. I also gain Thalassophobia.
35:00 well, congratulations, you made it Hunger Games.
Interesting. We probably crossed paths many times. I lived down the road from Celebration Station in Clearwater Florida. In a neighborhood of US 19. Small world man!
About the ethical dilemma (great one by the way), I’m all for it. It’s a very weird concept but still, as you guys said: it is equivalent to organ donors. The key point is always to regulate it and to contain the information to knowledgeable people; basically because it might sound wrong to some more sensitive people.
I mean, I recently watched a video of a real actual company in Switzerland and Germany that allows to freeze your body for years so to preserve your bodily functions and to unfreeze you in the future, like in Futurama. I’m not kidding, it’s cryogenic therapy and the company is called Tomorrow
I don't think happiness is the ultimate good in the world. Even without the drawback, taking away sadness, anger, and hurt is just a bad idea. We need those things to process what's wrong in the world.
Why was this so fucking awesome, I've loved you both separately for so long that y'all could've just made fart noises for an hour and I'd be so captivated.
Where are the pianos? 😢
Erin buys bonds from issuers and sells them to investors
is everyone is happy then we don’t notice the things that make us unhappy and therefore don’t allow change
I now need a daniel and jack podcast
26:06. I have two top tier ones that always make people ask questions. 1. I was named after an Ac unit. 2. I don't have any toenails.
