Why does he say that we have a "high population of humans" on this planet compared to another populated planet, and therefore aliens will be larger than us? The guy knows we have one data point, so how is he able to establish our population size relative to an alien population? And why should they be larger than us - surely environment and social factors dictate this. For example Earth was home to dinosaurs (some of which were MUCH larger than us) and now it's home to humans? Furthermore, the size of the brain does not necessarily dictate how intelligent a being is, and with a greater body size it's more likely the being will have to spend more time gathering food and less time developing society. The larger the body, the less responsive the extremities become, the more energy and brainpower is required to regulate all of the body's functions?

But besides all of this, he actually opens the video by asking why we are looking for life like ours when life could be any kind of weird and wonderful thing. It could be made in a way that we had no idea could happen, in a place we thought incompatible with life. Why then are we to assume that larger aliens on smaller planets will be more intelligent? Or that the light from stars encourages growth? Why should alien creatures follow our social norms of gathering around popular landmarks - be they football teams or countries? Why are any of these human-based assumptions relevant when your argument is that they don't have to be like humans in any way?

At the end of the day, the best evidence we have about life indicates to us that it should be on an Earth-like planet. Why would we waste our limited time and resources looking elsewhere, especially when we have no idea what the evidence we're looking for might look like? This is a thoroughly uncompelling argument.

Oil: Based on true dinosaurs.

I notice they went for "inspired" instead, which to my mind means they'll probably be as much similarities to the actual Deepwater disaster as there are dinosaurs in oil.

This reminds me of Jurassic Park for 2 reasons:

1: people too busy trying to figure out whether they could defy the laws of nature didn't pause to think about whether they SHOULD.

2: she looks like a dinosaur chewed on her head (and maybe puked up a little)

Um, talk about day late and a dollar short.... this video is 5 days late actually, but not a bad idea.
I didn't watch...did anyone actually ask the question at the debate? I doubt it, doesn't the DNC screen the questions themselves? They don't want the uninformed masses to understand the system, it makes it much harder for them to rig it.
It is pretty disgusting that the party named "democrats" are so blatantly undemocratic. I expect this kind of disrespect for the voters from the republicans, but the democrats at least usually pretend to respect their voters....not this time.
Please, Bernie, dump them and run as an independent. The two parties are dinosaurs that need to be killed and eaten. THEY are a major problem with our system today, and it would be nice to have a major candidate who's not in either party. I think the country is ready.
How amazing would it be to have a third party president not beholding to either camp OR major donors.

Freakin dinosaurs.

Commie Jews!

Sorry, my grandma got a hold of my keyboard. You know grandma. Hates her some commies and some jews. I'm tucking her into bed for night night. I wanted to tell her a bed time story about Bernie the Dinosaur but all she wants to hear is the tales of Trump and his Trumpeters.

I did not expect to sit through the whole 1/2 hour...but I found him intelligent and informative.
He's only the third person I've ever heard talk about the extinction event happening to dinosaurs BEFORE the asteroid hit.
Well worth the watch.

Thanks to Jurassic Park, this is also what I imagine dinosaurs sounded like.
