Vsauce Discussion Thread

Post » Tue May 28, 2013 12:11 pm

Vsauce is a channel on Youtube that discusses scientific and philosophical ideas and theories. Their video's often time feel like a rant that meanders from one topic to another but then they tie them all together neatly in a way that makes you say "Oh, now I see how A is relevant to B"

I would like to make this thread to discus their videos, If you have a favorite or found an older video you would like to discuss then just post the episode and discuss away. I'll try to update with newer video's as they come out.

and the last two episodes they released.

The last one I watched was about eating yourself. It's already common sense, but still interesting.

That video has given me clarity on everything about that subject. I one time asked someone about it and despite their very clear answer, I still, somehow, was fascinated by the idea.

Now if only I can know what http://www.platospond.com/web/exp3/WaterMoleculeBW.jpg is doing in my water.

I like his videos. Can't really say much else about it. I do prefer Scishow more now, but Vsauce is still cool. I just like Scishow's more scientific focus.

I don't really watch vsauce a lot, but when I do it's entertaining. I mostly remember the "is your red the same as my red", and the one about eating yourself. I just watched the Nostalgia one and I liked that one, too.

I watch Scishow as well. Hank Green is such a likeable guy, and I also like John, his brother.

I watched the most recent video, and I couldn't stand the way he presents the subject.

The whole atmosphere and the way he talks to the audience makes it seem like he thinks there's a bunch of 8 year old kids watching. It really annoys me. Most of his other videos are cool, but the last one was just weird.
