Wow. Same guy? Wow.

I had to go look this one up just to make certain it wasn't him also:

Invocations (related=http://videosift.com/video/The-Clumsy-Reporter) cannot be called by artician because artician is not privileged - sorry.

A clumsy one who meant to do that all along.

I think teaching students basic scientific method when they are young can prevent willful rejection of science, due to ignorance, later in life. Non-scientists can't possibly know everything, yet, if they are sufficiently enlightened in scientific method, they can comfortably accept truths that are revealed using scientific method. Additionally, scientists needn't require proof for knowledge widely accepted by the scientific communities outside their particular areas of expertise.

Specialization also eliminates the need to know everything. Scientists know they stand on the shoulders of giants, that there was much to discover and learn long before they arrived in the world. But they don't have to know everything. It's like Sean Carroll discusses (kind of) in this video. You can be a physicist and know little of geology.


Edited: clumsy, nonsensical sentences

Oh, I just love it when people blame the "free market" when they're staring at a market stifled and distorted by government intervention.

It's like laughing at drunk people being clumsy.

Even if it were a free market, that's like blaming free speech for millions of people believing in god.

Why does the title say; "A Ham-fisted Explanation?" I found the analogy spot on. Oh, and I would add that saying Atheism is a religion, is like saying abstinence is a sexual position..

I think it might be considered ham-fisted to an atheist (of which Videosift is mostly comprised), who already understands the subtitles involved.

Sorry, your argument is a non-sequitur. I am an atheist and the video makes perfect sense to me!

Then you misunderstand what "ham-fisted" means.

What it means where you are from, I have no idea. Here in England ham-fisted means inept, clumsy, etc. I'm done...

"Clark, you clumsy idiot!"

I've been feeding a nearby family of crows for a few years now. My hope is that, out of gratitude, someday they will bring me one of their young ones to raise as my own.

What about a seagull? You made one drunk. <IMG class=smiley src="http://cdn.videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/tongue.gif">

I hate to say it , but , seagulls are kind of dimwitted compared to crows. In the air seagulls are gracefull but on the ground they are just clumsy gluttons. Crows on the other hand, are the real deal, they are VERY good fliers, and on the ground , they hop , skip, run , jump around with style. Crows are obviously thoughtfull, perceptive, curious, cautious and playfull, . Dont get me wrong, I could be friends with a seagull, but I think I would enjoy bonding with a crow more.


I was being sarcastic earlier. BTW, nice typos.

This reminds me of those guys filmed in black and white during infomercials that try to wrap a sandwich in saran wrap, failing in the most absurdly clumsy ways and ending up burning their house down while wrapped in a cocoon of plastic. THERE HAS GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY.

A creature that needs food to survive ate food.


The nuance was lost on him. Music + Cliche movie scene + unexpectedly clumsy turtle = more than an animal eating food.

The idea is to illustrate the concept.
Phones don't shoot footage usable in ANY real commercial setting.


And no one really expects them to. So why bother lying in such a clumsy and obvious fashion?

Shoot the ad in IMAX for all I care, just don't claim it was shot on the phone.

makes one feel pretty clumsy.
