The California Roll Was Invented in Canada
that's some of the ugliest california rolls i've ever seen.
Nerdwriter: Why Funk Music Makes You Want To Dance
how did he not mention midnight star - "midas touch"?! i don't know anything about midnight star or bruno mars but 24K is clearly influenced by midas touch.

Student / Teacher debate on Gender Wage Gap
when all possible variables are factored (same positions compared, hours worked, education, experience, etc.), there is still a wage gap that generally can only be explained by gender bias. in the US, i believe it's about 8%.
The Great Global Warming Swindle
the great scientist david wilcock believes he's reincarnated, in the illuminati, ancient aliens, etc, etc. he's a crazy person.

i guess you don't know that wilcock is on par with nassim haramein and david icke.
The Illusion of Truth - Veritasium
this is the dumbest thing i've seen all year. thanks for the solid laugh/cry.
“What would you do if you found out that everything you know, everything you believe, everything you’ve been told since you were a child was a lie?"
"And not just any lie, but one carefully crafted, finely tuned, expertly executed, and deliberately designed with the express purpose of assuring you that wrong was right, that bad was good, and that violence was love."
"A lie powerful enough to manipulate you into taking part in horrific and barbaric acts that you’d otherwise find appalling. Powerful enough to wash blood from your hands; to alter your perception so severely that murder appears mundane and compassion becomes extreme.”-Emily Moran Barwick

Colored Noise, and How It Can Help You Focus
this was oddly uninformative and misinformative. the names for white and pink noise are related to light but brown noise is named after robert brown.
white noise is equal power (amplitude/"volume") across frequencies (1/1), pink noise equal power per octave (1/frequency), and brown/red noise is -6dB/octave (1/frequency^2). there is also grey noise, blue noise, black noise, violet noise, and others. and no mention of the fletcher-munson curve (how sensitive our ears are across the frequency spectrum).
The Illusion of Truth - Veritasium
and this is yet another reason why pop music/top 40 sucks balls.
Arguments Against Personal Identity: Crash Course Philosophy
imo, you are the contents of the hypothetical box though not the box itself. the contents will change over time, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but it's the contents and the arrangement and the content's history that is "you". there is no single, persistent "you". "you" are a collective. a generalization.
Life as a Living Latex Female Doll
absolutely fascinating.
Britain Leaving the EU - For and Against, Good or Bad?
i love that picture of "canada"
How to Make a Hologram
the amount of data and processing this would require would be STAGGERING and would still only output the equivalent of a low poly animation (this would build a point cloud rather than a polymesh). i would guess it would be in the ballpark of 1 TB/sec. possibly more.
most of the tech is actually pretty old but it's consolidation and implementation is impressive.
CGP Grey - You Are Two (Brains)
imo, this goes to the idea that "consciousness" is emergent. consciousness is made up of a multitude of less conscious/non-conscious parts and the totality creates what we call consciousness or "you". there is no singular "you". you are a collective of parts. splitting the hemispheres means 2 large subsections of you don't communicate with each other as well as they used to (they still communicate but the speed of that communication is too slow for them to operate as a cohesively single collective).
The History of Opioids
ketamine has shown a lot of promise as an effective alternative.
