When I'm arguing on the internet I'm not doing it for the benefit of the person I'm arguing with, it's for the people who are reading the argument.
I guess that's why people immediately scroll down to the comments when clicking on a video
Well what if you’re arguing with someone in the comments? But honestly this does help me structure my arguments better because I always try to use the same facts but instead I should try to be more neutral with my argument rather than confrontational
Just worth pointing out, after so much of an argument, there's a point when one (or both) parties involved reveals themselves... That can be educational for everyone involved (or not)... ;o)
I agree, very much. It is important that people know there are different opinions, and many statements are not factual, and need to be refuted. I think it is bad that some people learn a lot of their opinions and suppositions on sites where opposing view-points are not expressed. Then if later they start reading a site that has different views, they are less capable of absorbing what is being argued. It probably has caused many of the problems we are having in the public sphere.

once I won an internet argument. the guy admited that he was wrong. it was one of the best moment of my live.
Life
no, it's live
It's happened five times for me.
It may be "live." But it's definitely "moments" with an "s."
This argument you're not winning. XD
It's also admitted, so you got lots of work to do....
It's still strange to me that people actually click on ads. Too many screw you over so I just avoid them always
But you get to punch Paris Hilton on MySpace.
Sometimes I click on ads that support creators I like, even if I have no interest in the thing. More clicks = more money!
Bonus! I have TabForACause installed, so I help the creator AND send money to charity!
I work as a software engineer at an internet ad tech company. Often times the intention of an internet ad isn't to get you to click on it, but rather to help make you aware of a product or brand. And yes, those ad campaigns are effective, even if you think they don't work on you

With things like Coca-Cola and McDonald's, I'm surprised that people don't know this. This exposure is power.
@@lum26akua28 With things like Coca-Cola and McDonald's, I'm often surprised that they bother advertising at all! XD
I am proud to say that my ADD mind watched this entire 29 minute video with out skipping around or getting distracted! :D It was thoroughly interesting and entertaining. (I have been enjoying these shared-host videos that scishow has been coming out with lately. I tend to be easily distracted even if i'm interested, but these switching to hosts and multiple related topics (or not much related lead in by a single connected... like how the mind tends to work "speaking of fluffy kittens, have you heard about the laser-eyed unicorn??") tends to keep my mind more focused and therefore more a tentative❤️
i relate my hdhd is showing hard ive got like 5 assignments due and i cant stop getting side tracked
I gave up arguing with my then-boyfriend when - after discussing the death penalty for 15 minutes or so - he came out with something to the effect of: "That makes real sense and I don´t have a single counter argument left but I still think it´s a good idea."
😂😂
Mieke Kuppen that’s pretty freaking dumb lol.
it is a good idea tho
Hank’s speaking cadence and inflections are the best! Makes learning more fun and keeps your attention better. Thanks for what you all do!!
I’m liking these longer scishow vids, good job
Love this long compliation. Feels like watching an old style actual TV programme. Would love to see more long scishow videos!
I like how the channel goes from explain the inner workings of our minds and how it affects our choices. To how memes die.
It's strange how people will display completely different behaviors online as opposed to IRL.. With the removal of standard social rules, it can also be a freeing experience. The internet is an amazing place.
i kind of wish there was a way for me to force a face-to-face conversation on someone who i'm arguing with
Brief Brain Snacks but it’s full of many horrible people
Honestly, one of the strongest things you can do against someone who is angry is be gentle. In my experience, someone who is self-righteous can justify to themselves when you yell back at them. But it throws them off when you don’t respond aggressively because now they can’t say that you started it, so they also usually calm down.
My personal experience says that using self-deprecating language REALLY throws them off. I think what happens is they see you’re not “stubborn” or “unresponsive” and “can be reasoned with”. When they perceive that you are more receptive, they tend to be as well.
Weird things like.. compilation videos?
yeah. this video is poor. if it wasn't clickbait, I wouldn't have clicked this.
Weird things like... Having a notification bell as a profile picture along with 'New Message' as a name?
Expressing yourself freely without the fear of facing others directly and standing by what you say... Well, we see in the comment sections what that does to otherwise maybe shy and nice people. 😂 😂 😂
More like showing a strong opinion, -not fearing- not caring if others disagree, which they think is the truth because somebody that looked intelligent - probably from their eco chamber - or their fave youtuber, redditer, 4channer or whatevser said so, most times not even knowing what the subject they have this strong opinion about actually is at core...
We see what it does to people that are proud of being a kind of internet person *insert 3 repeating emojis here for me please. I am phone depived
Girl i've seen you somewhere else on RUclips .I guess we both spend to much time on commends xd
@@osmosisjones4912 I give up on directly changing someone's mind.
Rather I use what works on me. I supply an argument in as angering a way as possible to purposely trigger cognitive dissonance. What happens to me is that I'm essentially forced to run the argument through my head until I realize the opposing side has some fairly inarguable points. This happens over hours or days but the initial exchange is long over and done with.
Arguing with an aggressive person never works because they're triggered and willfully ignore anything they disagree with. But if you plant such an idea and walk away, they keep arguing in their head.
Friendly? Sure. Nice? Apparently not lol
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:
At about 25:00 into the video, talking basically about when the brain is fully formed, then why are we sending our children to war when they are only 18 years old ??? No wonder why in part many of them come back with PTSD and are suicidal, or don't come back at all.
They're willing to go, because their brains are not fully developed.
@@mliittsc63 So then, why aren't their parents and society changing the laws to not make it so? Why isn't society looking out for it's children, who one day, if they live long enough, will be the future society that runs it all?
And consider also, where are all the 'right to lifers'? Isn't even war 'bad' if people die and kill one another? Hypocrites are what they seem to be. I don't remember really any of the nation's enemies asking to be bombed or nuked. They weren't given a choice either.
Hence also, 'pro choice' should be there too. But even then, where are the 'right to lifers' concerning war? Isn't even the death of our enemies wrong for 'right to lifers'?
@@charlesbrightman4237 society isn't an entity
@@chari---zard "society isn't an entity"; In this context, 'society' is made up of entities, 'humans'.
And consider also:
1. Un-named concept -> 2. Given a name (sign, symbol, sound, etc) -> 3. With an attached meaning -> 4. And maybe even other meanings depending upon context -> 5. And maybe even other names with the same meaning. (Basically an expanded Dictionary and an expanded Thesaurus).
Your thought processes are basically in items 1 - 3 above. Mine extends further into 4 and 5 above.
For example, even 'Nature' is an 'entity' and has an agenda. Nature's agenda is to follow the laws of Nature. When working on the Theory Of Everything, it helps to simplify the analysis where one can, even if I have to create my own language with it's own meanings. (Basically create my own language with it's own Dictionary and Thesaurus, including by the way computer languages which is mine, basically all mine.)
Learn to live 'outside of the box'.
That's part of it. The plasticity of the mind at a young age makes it easier to craft the person into a warrior.
Hank is a meme lord with all those ancient memes
If you're trying to "win" an argument, you're not having an argument. You're having a fight.
"Curly fries and Morgan Freeman's voice" 😂😂😂 (I'm not trying to change your mind😉)
I want to know who *doesn't* like curly fries and Morgan Freeman, lol.
@@lunacouer I have never tasted curly fries
@@lazergurka-smerlin6561 We need to remedy that somehow. 😂
@Wake Up FU, I live in Germany, large city but no curly fries @ the closest 30+ food locations 😔
I know EXACTLY why these videos are satisfying- SESAME STREET! They took kids “behind the scenes” of everyday things in their intermittent, independent shorts and showcased other children involved in these things. Anyone remember the “Steel Drum” episode?! Yeah, me too! It was our first exposure to “Dirty Jobs” or “ How It’s Done”. Thank you, Children’s Television Workshop😍
Dance like the government is watching. In other words, don't dance.

@@sunnybugaboo9478 SO... should I dance naked? ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 100% yes!
@@sunnybugaboo9478 Thanks for that!
I needed a giggle... nobody wants to see my pasty ass. ;o)
That strained 'why...' hank makes in response to challenge videos is my mood
and is oddly satisfying.
"or when a _jif_-"
*"No."*
3 Possums in a Trenchcoat - OH MY GOD, THIS. I was positive that Hank’s heinous mispronunciation was going to be identified as an excellent example of negative arousal, i.e., one of those grievous sins that get us all riled up, and that not correcting himself right away was going to be an example of the ways that “unfinished“ things really bother us. But no! He actually *meant* to say “JIF” as if it were correct! 🤯😡🤬
@@HalfShelli it is correct. According to the creator of the GIF
Melissa Clark Some things wind up growing far, far beyond their creators into a life of their own. I mean, the discoverer of 13th element on the periodic table would have us pronounce it “al-you-MIN-ee-um”! Maybe it’s just that we Americans are just defiant and stubborn? 🥴
@@hyliangamercat "jraphics"
@@HalfShelli methinks that the irony of this argument is that it is exactly what the video is about and therefore we all know that no one is going to change the mind of the other.
Interesting, could the "change my mind" subreddit have a priming effect in people? Was that considered in the research?
The people who most often change their minds are not the OP but the other people in the comments. Internet arguments are not pointless, people just need to shift their expectations. You are not fighting to convince the other person they are wrong. You are fighting to convince everyone else that the other person is wrong.
I think it makes sense that people who go to that sub are already primed to their own opinion, in "defense" of the incoming argument. Deep down no one likes to be proven wrong even if they supposedly are coming to the site with an open mind accepting of change. So they will use bias to not considere themselves wrong.
that is an incredible sweater in the intro 😍
agreed :D
Watching these videos while stoned is amazing.
Yep, this is also why you got a lot of ads with age like "People over 40 can save XXX from YYYY". It goes beyond targeting and into psycho because you don't need to put age in the titles of your ads to target age groups on facebook, you can select age groups directly when creating ads. Those people are actually using facebook data for targeting and THEN showing you messages tailored according to that targeting.
Absolutely fascinating! Great presentation! Perfect voice inflection, cadence and all around delivery! Great job! I have now subscribed! 👍💟👍
"I've got an explanation, just wait while I change outfits extremely quickly."
I thoroughly enjoyed this format
I myself consider those videos as a public service.
Personally, they really help me value my fellow humans much higher, being much more attentive and also much more relaxed, as well as being more motivated to do things -> live!
it’s 2023 and i still reference all the memes you talked about (like 2015-2016) literally every day
EXCELLENT information. I work in psychology n love learning about the discoveries we're making about our minds
Found this from 'it's okay to be smart'. Really dig the psychology behind this subject. Love that you point out Picard! You can make the best decision and still lose.
I had a FB post go viral once - Close enough for me, considering my geographical location. Remember that cold spell we got few weeks ago, the end of January 2019. Reminders about bring in your pets were flying all over. I posted a 'Electronics Freeze Warning' and reminded people to bring in there electronics too that normally were outside. I got 10K views, and 2600 Clicks, and 229 reactions. Normally I get about 1/5th of that. I was impressed.
All I can say is that Google has my self-gratification schedule down pat. Think about it...I search similar images and videos together, and I stay at certain links for similar periods of time. They definitely know!
i really liked this extended format
Love the sweater
Lila D I literally only came to the comment section to see if anyone else noticed that she was wearing a Harry Potter sweater. Haha
"curly fries and morgan freemans voice"
oh that's me
Clutch my pearls! I’d have never thought Hank was an up and coming Unibomber!!
Talk about weird,one time I spent most of a day,watch a live stream.A bunch of people sat around putting rubber band on a pumpkin. ( It eventually killed the pumpkin.)
Did you watch the whole thing?
Whew, been there!
@@diegelbeseegurke2116 -Nah,gave up after about 6 hr;.s, but checked back and watched the replay of the pumpkin splitting.It was satisfying, because it was how I figured it would happen.
rip pumpkin
WTF !?!?! NO SPOILER ALERT????
The worse thing about this video is that the owl on her sweater is a "Harry Potter" reference and not a "Fly By Night" reference
*worst
Some sense of 'effect size', from the research he quoted, would have been nice. Great video, thanks.
I think a lot of people do weird things online because they themselves are weird.

UNLEASHING POTENTIAL - PSYCHOLOGY VIDEOS \FACTS/
my man, you must be on YT for at least 2hours/day cuz i've seen you commenting on over 10 different channels xd *keep it up tho*
You’re in every bloody video I watch, wtf
Man thats deep
You can win an Internet argument by commenting non-stop until your opponent either block you or no longer check back, therefore you win.
LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOVE THE SWEATSHIRT!!!
Great video!
There was research done to business owners on social media when they showed more successful businesses. The business became more likely to make price cuts.
I'd like to know how well does Facebook currently know someone from whom it has a lot of old info. In my case, I used to be quite active in the platform, but it has been six years since I went there. Does Facebook know me?
Depends on who you ask... On the one hand, if you just halted that profile six years ago, you could argue that Facebook only knows you from six years ago... and depending on how much you've grown or changed since then is going to make you only so much different...
Once it's online, it's online forever.
That's been a problem for many people and a regret that even more people carry. It's how "sharing nudes" has gotten in the way of everything from career choices to causing serious trouble involving Child Porn charges (because teens are reckless)...
On the other hand, there's fairly strong evidence that more data-sharing goes on more than you'd expect. It's been said (and proven) that Facebook has tabulated data on people who aren't even using their service, just from the friends (IRL) who mention them in correspondence... SO depending on how many people share stuff about you on Facebook, whether or not you still use it, they still know you better than you'd like to expect. ;o)
Wow! I am different then. Well reasoned and evidenced arguments will change my mind.
you always have such awesome sweaters.
It's scary how stubborn and ignorant people can be on the internet... In this time, we need open-mindedness more than ever! But it seems to be a depleting force
It's not a depleting force for me, and when the ASI comes around, no one will be able to argue to the contrary (we might all be dead)

That’s a really interesting thought.
The title of this video is a great example of the insight psychology has to offer in general. the description is even more groundbreaking
So ... are you saying that, since I’m so bad at math, I have less of a confirmation bias?

My confirmation bias said yes, I’ll run with it!

All the SciShow stuff could be classified as 'Oddly Satisfying Videos' to me.
You can't change my mind about whether you can change peoples minds on the internet!
I think that the repetitive rhythmic movement of those oddly satisfying videos make our brains recognize the patterns and results which give us rewarding chemicals.
That holiday sweater was dope.
why do we love compilation so much
Love the sweater at the beginning.
Watching Dr. Pimple Popper before bed is the best relaxer. No puppies for me.

I must not be biased. Bias is the mind-killer. Bias is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my bias. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the bias has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
My dreams are memes. Checkmate, Mr. LaBeouf. DO IT!

If you want to change someone's mind just do as they did in ''12 angry men''
A superb and very well done movie!
I personally can agree that saying new words and most especially adding NEW INFORMATION (in support to your points), can lead to the person you're arguing with to rethink their views and change their minds. This has happened to me many times. Just make sure also, that the new information is relevant to the topics, are true, and are worded to easily be understood. When you use technical terms, make them understand what the word means.
Love your (Harry Potter-themed?) jumper!
My FB is so terrible for data collection. It's bland, inactive, and essentially a resumé. I watched my brother and distant relatives post super personal and inappropriate stuff, and wouldn't you know, they kept getting rejected by employers every time they did a little digging on their FB page. ;3
Synalla the word is spelled résumé or resume. There is no word “resumé.”
Think about how the word is pronounced. The first vowel is the same as the second, so gets the same letter.
Regarding FB and employers, my refusal to use FB (It’s one of the most evil companies on the internet and I want *nothing* to do with it) has probably cost me at least one job. The interviewer asked about my account (saying that they had looked for me but couldn’t find me) and I said I didn’t have one and the interview ended almost immediately. Definitely damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
If they were that insistent on probing your FB for information then it was probably not worth getting on board with in the first place. the idea of an employer wanting that much of an eye on their employees is actually immensely disconcerting
@@jpe1 According to Dictionary. com, resumé is also acceptable, as they note:
Also resume , re·su·mé.

"Satisfying videos" make my anxiety flare up.

Have any scientists figured out deep fried memes yet?
Does that mean why they exist or why people like them?
@brmbly no

I guess we like "oddly satisfying videos" because humans like perfection.
This intro was disconcerting in the age of Coronavirus fears
A lot of this goes on because it's just way too much fun.
Why am I absolutely able and happy to be corrected and learn the correct thing? Am I just lucky to be one of the kinds of people that don't have that hang up?
hank you change clothes so fast
Also starting on something that you DO agree on is helpful, but I pretty much just have in-person experience with that
You can never win an argument on the internet because its mostly impossible even when both of yall think you guys are right
It's not impossible - it's simply a case of who you argue with. Some people are actually willing to listen to what others' say, while other people simply are not willing to.
There's something almost magical about satisfying videos. I know the science is unclear, but the effect is as clear as day. ie. My best and I chilling in my friend's car hanging with Alice D. listening to Dark Side of the Moon while watching power washing videos......memorable to say the least
Commander Hoo-ha: "Anyone wanna see these videos? They're a little weird, but... oddly satisfying."
I dont think that my emotions were any more intense as a teenager than they are now.
13:19 this made me immediately think of Welcome to the Internet
I used to argue on the internet years ago but now I am over it I just want a nice relaxed life and some peace so when someone write something even directly to me that is wrong I just don't answer. Choose your battles wisely.
I'll always remember the time I won an online argument that sht rare lol he actually dmed me after for more info and we had a rly long and genuine mutual discussion before going our ways again. I was n still am so glad he'd considered changing his aggression toward the subject we discussed ^^ i think i rly just helped him understand it better and that helped.
I often feel that my online experiences are wildly different than others.
Misconception detected at 3:05. I'm sure she meant *calculation skill* when she said *math skill*. The two are often confused with each other although are quite distinct skills.
What's the difference?
@@HyperionaSilverleaf Calculation skills are a subset of math skills. Calculation skills is how good you calculate. Math skills include all mah related skills like algebra etc.
@@HyperionaSilverleaf Math skill means the skill to figure out how to frame a given problem in a mathematical framework to solve it in a structured way while calculation skill refers to mastery in performing mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, power, logarithm etc. One can be good at one skill while terrible at the other. For example, most lightning-speed human calculators are great at *calculation skill* but poor at *math skill* ; the opposite example would be Einstein who was undoubtedly good at *math skill* but reportedly not so good at *calculation skill* . Ramanujan, Newton etc. were good at both though.

That's why it's so frustrating when a gif(*pronounce jif*)...
