Anti Social Media
The main reason I don't like social media. What do you think? Do you agree with me or not?
I noticed a few years ago that on Facebook I was doing complicated calculations like:
Do I actually like this post? Yes/No
Do I want the person to know I like their post? Yes/No
Do I want other people to know I like this person's post? Yes/No
Do I want to see more from this person?
Do I want Facebook to know that I like this?
etc. so what looks like a simple gesture actually involves complex calculations.
The thing that really drives me nuts, as you saw in this rant of a video is thinking about the reasons people post to social media. Of course we're drawn to the dopamine spikes we get when our posts get likes and comments, this leads us to post more and more engaging content. This is just what the platforms want us to do but I argue it's disadvantageous to our social lives and to our lives period. If you always have that process running in the background searching out the perfect photo or the right moment, how do you ever live in the moment?

How to Film in the Ultraviolet

The Climbing Magnets Mystery (ft. Steve Mould)

When spun on a screwdriver, magnets climb up its length, but why? This video brought to you by my friend Steve Mould: ve42.co/SteveMould This all started with a question on twitter, when someone wanted to know why a chain of neodymium magnets climbs up a screwdriver when the screwdriver is rotated. A search for the explanation ensued, culminating in the stick-slip conclusion presented in this v...

Why YouTube Used to Prefer Quality
Переглядів 782 тис.6 років тому
Almost four years ago I made a video about quality vs quantity on UA-cam. Reflecting on how the platform is working in 2017 I find that quantity (frequency) has become significantly more important and quality less so. I'm not saying this is my recommendation for how people should make channels, just that this is what seems to be an effective strategy nowadays. This video involves two distinct s...

    “If you have a magnetic field and then you stretch a magnetic field then you get a magnetic field” You have explained nothing man- you were supposed to tell us how we get the magnetic field in the first place. I already know the answer so I know where to fill in the gaps you left but that was terrible.

    'Spin' is like the manner in which a thing will orientate itself without any external influence acting upon it other than the field/medium from which it is manifest from. Think of the geometries of the platonic solids... Now if you were to have one of these solids in the form of a hollow plastic object and you were to throw it in a bucket of water, if it were a triangular prism it would want to float (orientate) itself with a point facing downwards. This is its preferred natural orientation. When it is a component of a larger thing its orientation may be forced to be different to that of its natural orientation, this 'spin' is a representation of the 'resistance' to the forced orientation it is held in and the tendancy of it to revert back to natural orientation if the influence upon it is removed.

    Some nay we've been extremely lucky to avoid an atomic war and there were so many "close calls" but I think it's not the case, since we couldn't ask ourselves the question if such escalation came. If we look at it as an experiment repeated multiple times, we will find out that there would be few people or none at all surviving a global atomic war. Therefore they should consider themselves "lucky". In few scenarios with a happy ending there are far more alive people than in overall sum of scenarios with almost everyone dying.
