    Hearing him talk casually is realizing, "woah, he's really just like this, like all the time." I think in his voice, you can tell that he's constantly thinking about how small aspects of life fit into the larger universe, and he sounds constantly amazed by that. It's contagious!

      @@study-su1gc People rather want to believe in miracle solutions that don’t exist rather than accepting solutions to a problem that are hard to pull through but could be successful in the end.
      It’s an example where you can apply the quote too. But the quote is actually based on how we humans are influenced by media and the fictional world authors create. If we read a story where coincidence, like in the true world, happens, we read this as lazy writing. But impossible events are much more accepted for being completely contrary against our “real world”.

      I've never had total anesthesia, 'just' sedatives after an emergency c-section. I have almost no memory of what happened after the surgery. I don't even remember them saying anything about a sedative. I just remember that at one point around the end of the surgery I closed my eyes and, then I opened my eyes in an elevator and the nurse saying where they were taking me. And the next moment I opened my eyes it was several hours later. I didn't feel tired, I didn't feel hungry. It felt like absolutely no time had passed.

      It could be from shame and people pleasing, but helping others is also just good for the soul in a purely healthy and wholesome way. It depends on what the root of the decision to help someone is. Don't discount being selfless out of fear that it will always make you weak, because if it's your own genuine choice, coming from a place of compassion for the other, it actually empowers you and makes you strong - and that will reduce your anxiety too.

Another one is, "A podcast of unnecessary details" by Matt Parker appropriately named is about them choosing one phrase such as "time" and each of the 3 host would bring up a topic that relates to that phrase that they find is interesting. Then they go into unnecessary detail about it. There's a lot of cool podcasts with structured premises and I recommend checking them out. There's also fully scripted podcasts that are more akin to audio books. A lot of cool options.
      As for why people enjoy podcasts about people aimlessly talking for hours. Some people just need audio in the background to zone out while they do other stuff.

I explains not only "main character" behavior, but also maybe conspiracy theories.

      While a podcast is made available later on, like as a downloadable file.
      RUclips videos aren't really part of the definition, but I'd say that this RUclips video is closer to the definition of a podcast overall.

      Yeah a similar feeling happens when I faint, is being unconscious or anaesthesia the same as this? I was jumping while fainting (bad idea ik it felt like it might stop it) and it felt like I was still jumping even until my vision went complete dark, after about 0.2 seconds of darkness it still felt like I was standing up perfectly straight until I heard a massive thud, which I could tell was my head hitting the wall because i fell forwards. It’s weird how my sense of direction completely disappeared even though it felt like it didn’t and I also felt no sense of touch hitting that wall?, only the sound. The exact time I hit the wall I opened my eyes to 10 minutes in the future lol, it felt quicker than an eye blink.
      Even though you pass out when standing up too quick when low on iron. It’s completely different as you’re completely full of strength and the faint is like a surprise as you get a counterfeit of your body’s senses to replace your loss of sense.

    • @l.36125
      @l.36125 11 месяцев назад +18

      @HeyPlayboi i've never fainted personally so i couldn't say if it feels exactly the same, but i definitely relate to what you said about it feeling a little like you'd time traveled somehow in the blink of an eye. the reason it felt like death to me is because it made me realize that if i hadn't woken up again after that i just wouldn't have noticed or cared because there was no way i could've. there was no slow drift into it there were no dreams or darkness, just a void in time where i wasn't thinking or experiencing anything.
      i can say that when i was knocked unconscious it was because i ran into a wall lol and a similar thing to you happened where i didn't feel the sensation of me actually hitting it but i could see it happen before i blacked out. the brain is weird !!!

      I mean I love Vsauce as much as the next guy but philosophers typically get included in books for having novel ideas and a coherent philosophical outlook on life or a specific subject. What Michael is doing is closer to Wikipedia in that it’s mostly a summation of existing knowledge but with some novel connections made between them.

      It's funny cause he mentioned that once to someone. I don't remember where exactly. He said he'd sometimes like to dismiss a question from his kid, like "ah, don't worry about it", but stops himself. He is Michael Stevens from Vsauce, he has to answer! There is an expectation to uphold, especially from his own child.

  • @myfriendkirby

    michael has such a fascinating way of talking, even in just a normal kind of conversation like this. he said himself that it's just the way that he talks, but he talks with a cadence as if he himself is so incredibly fascinated with every sing thing that he talks about. and especially later in the interview when he's talking about some of the mindfield experiments he's been apart of, you can really hear just how... like. awe-struck and excitedly curious he is about the profound and practically philosophical things that he's recalling experiencing.

    Michael and vsauce team, I think molded more curious minds than they’ll ever know. I always resonated with them bc , as corny as it sounds, I love finding the solution to things, and more importantly asking questions. My friends/family/gf love poking fun at the “random facts” I know. They all come from wondering and researching. It’s what really led me to pursue physics. Thank you Michael for all the curious minds you’ve inspired
