Wait... didn't he have immortality technology in the second book? Well, I guess immortality is a bit of a stretch; no everlasting gobstopper. But he had those little pills that would make you 20 years younger again, right? So that for immortality, you'd have to buy them again and again and again? And he specifically mentioned that millionaires would give him everything to buy it? Anyway, would love a Robots (2005) analysis. My favourite part was where the red robot says 'what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine', with the bit where the workers unite but Bigweld shows up just in time to direct them to fight other workers and then restores himself as CEO once that's over as a close second.

OMG, your crayon earrings! ♥

Thanks!

BTW, I love the way in which you added chapters to your videos. They make sense after you watch the chapter and they are so funny. I´ll steal that lol

Reminds me of an article I read for college writing: The Tyranny of Convenience by Tim Wu.

If I was raised that way id be fucking depressed

Grrrrr it’s always Capitalism 😒

A rather blanket statement to say that you think conspiracy theorists are wrong.

Imagination is the gateway, but there’s a lot of work to do. Prefiguration is key to movements wanting to change things

An analysis of hierarchy suggests people lose this kind of cognitive ability in order to be subjected to those at the top, while the top learns the ability to be desensitized and controlling. Hence why anarchists argue that people need to practice horizontal relationships with each other and their world to acquire the mental abilities to self-regulate, be inspired and get stuff done… also, these relationships are anathema to human desires so there’s always that dissatisfaction inside. Zoe Baker exposes a theory correlated to this in her book “Means and Ends”

That right wing fascist government in Baltimore City can only get 7% of their students to pass math. Vote blue.

When I was in middle school, I used to be in an after-school program that was mainly arts and crafts. For me, this was great because I spent all day doing boring stuff and was finally able to do as I pleased. I spent most of my time making pipe cleaner people of all shapes, sorts and colors. Some had wings, others had tails, some long hair, and even four legs one time. I did this at home for a long while before I was in my last year of middle school and thought it was weird to have all the pipe cleaner fairies, mermaids, and magical pretend people. So, I threw them away, and I moved on. Still, it was fun and I loved trying to make something new each time I saw a few pipe cleaners. I still love to make stuff, and so it’s kind of just transferred over to my drawings and such. Anyhow, I do think imagination should be more widely accepted as a good, normal, and crucial thing to our lives.

I've wasted so much time in my life arguing with one particular person over the existence of God and if you boiled all the sophistry away, the fundamental of his argument was that he just couldn't imagine that God isn't real. And you can tell these people that you can imagine it, and they won't believe you. And soon after, the fear mongering.

I'd love to see that preger U video

19:37 has to be my favorite zoe quote ever

Hello Zoe Bee! Have you heard about pataphysics and Alfred Jarry? I am very fascinated by The Sublime, Horror, Charles Baudelaire, Walter Benjamin, Fernando Pessoa, and the series Twin Peaks ( i have seen your program about it. Very good!), Babylon Berlin, and now, for the second time, Penny Dreadful. Thank You for another good and informative sending!

Just curious: why do you say doing a plagiarism instead of plagiarising?

Guy looks like Stromberg (James Bond villain) - I prefered when he tried to flood the world and create undersea civilization.

Was it just me who got confused that the cat in the background to be another of those toys lying there.

When something happens it is an eventful fact. How each person responds to that event shows their feelings and each person is different. Stands to reason then the fact didn't know or care about future feelings, it just happened. The other morning it rained, fact. Did it care about whether I wanted it to rain or not. No, Ben is right.

I can never trust someone with no imagination. It's like discovering someone's colourblind while they're driving.

thank you for this informative video, will be showing the administration at my school to try and improve the school.

About a year ago, I went to a three week summer course about Latin and Roman history. I really love the subject and was excited to go, and one of the best parts was that none of the classes had grades. The only teacher who had any kind of reward would give us "tests" (literally 5 questions after the class) and if you got them all right, you got a cute little sticker. Those stickers were more motivation than any grade has ever given me. And in the classes where there were no rewards at all, I still remember a whole bunch of what I learned, because I was enthusiastic about the material and the teachers were there because they actually wanted to teach us the subjects that they themselves loved. Shoutout to the GLA, probably the best summer I've had yet (and I'm going to college this year).

5:20 the *SHEER* irony of having a quote about about plagiarism, from someone whose name means liar in French. 😆

4:59 K I T T Y (Also free palestine)

I work in STEM education, and one of my biggest struggles with my students is getting them to think more imaginatively - you put to words a lot of what I've been seeing, and given me some new ways to communicate the importance of imagination! Thank you! 💜

Yo grades?? The whole fkng schools n colleges are business. Nobody cares about creativity n shttt

If America votes for this maniac, then you will reap what you sow so will your children and grandchildren. "Rose's are red violets are blue, my dog is pregnant because of you (Trump)".

have you played Persona 5 Royal...?

If you establish yourself as an authoritarian figure in the eye of your child what do you think will happen when this authority fell? Believe me it will fell some day. Your kid will surpass you eventually either intellectually or financially or in general understanding of modern world? What will happen then? Let me tell you they will become angry, frustrated and lost. After realizing my father was not any smarter than me because he cannot help me with my math homework anymore, it was painful. The person I always trusted to instruct me in life is not qualified to do so? Who would not lost his shit? And he was not even that authoritarian. It is just like a social norm to obey parents in life. he was not trying hard to be a dictator to me. But still after his authority fell in my eyes I didn't become rebellious I become a fanatic revolutionist. I disobey every command of him like a religion. It was wrong of me but it was a result of seeing my father as god.

Zoe, you are missing the point. Yes, all humans and societies should do everything in their power to avoid pain. However, individuals have a tendency to make decision that will later cause pain. A criminal who later gets arrested, a naïve girl who dates an abusive boyfriend, a lazy student who struggles to find a job later in life, etc. Personal responsibility is the primary vehicle which one can avoid pain - through life experience and then making better decisions later in life. No one worships pain or actively seeks it out. But there is wisdom in acknowledging that one will probably undergo a certain degree of pain that could have been easily been avoided had one been wiser. The idea is not to create a world filled with more pain but rather to gain wisdom so that one can avoid more pain the in the future.

We're still just a bunch of children who disagree with the rules of our games.

I'll listen to Dennis Prager's advice all day everyday

Does anyone else come just for "But ZOE!"? I wish each video had a time marker in the description. Jk, I love all of the parts of all the videos!

Rampant racism sexism homophobia transphobia and all that is only gonna get worse because propaganda and fake news are more convincing than facts especially if it aling their views

There are no rules. If you're coming from the academic world then you're way off.

Schools arent to be blamed as tradition is, and for a solution, your teatcher will often be more ignorant than you are if you have questions about alternatives for problems, knowleged and even opnions. If you dont have those questions thing is, most of people, you wont miss anything. Education will never be as good for imagination and inovation as the big archive that is the internet. More efficient, more diverse and most important, the internet can adapt for the user willingness to search and learn for how extensive it is.

Sid Meyer once said that if a game designer wanted to lead a player to a specific goal, the player should not have to question their morals. Once the player realizes they have to make a moral choice, there's a chance that they won't play the game as intended, which minimizes enjoyment. Game designers will downplay the moral implications of the players' actions for the sake of preserving the intended experience.

This is why i have no respect for the education system they try to fit a square peg into a round hole, are surprised when it doesn't fit, then blame the table for being poorly built as if it wasn't the craftman's fault for sticking square pegs into round holes in the first place There are thousands of types of holes and there are thousands of types of humans

I like how book one, trying to be anty race protests.... Accidentally becomes pro trans athletes

Teachers are not paid enough to do that and already have to work insanely hard in the system we have now

I like how the thing this mf says at the start of "happy children are obidient children" is probably correct, but he then flips it saying "obidient children are happy children" which is incorrect. A child thats happy with their parents and has a bond with them is likely to obey the orders out of respect and generosity, but obeying an order isnt going to make the child full of joy.

Fascists have imagination without empathy.

Totally not biased.

All metaphors are flawed because they don't represent a 1:1 reality.

lol ... And now the CTs have been proven to be right. Silently confirmed in slices over media. Unbelieveable naiv people to believe propaganda and their ideologists. Zombies.

5:48 straight up thought you said "ron desantis" for a sec

Better for you that your taste in Men is Birch (who seems to be a good judge of character) than Sycamore (who is a horrible judge of character).

The rights of children are one of the most contentious in the legal system. Adult rights are less ambiguous, but children's rights have this conflict between the parent and the state's right to act in what they see is the best interests of the child. Over the last 50 years the pendulum has swung hard in the direction of parents, with CPS prioritizing keeping families together over child safety, unregulated homeschooling and the case of Wisconsin v. Yoder. Wisconsin v. Yoder decided that the Old Order Amish had the right to keep their children out of highschool, with William O. Douglas dissenting, saying that the decision spoke of parent's rights vs state's legitimate interest, but not the desires and needs of the children themselves. This is not to say that children and parents should have no rights in making decisions about their children's education. People should not be forced to assimilate into mainstream society. Groups should be allowed to educate their children in languages other than English, and we need to prevent abuses and forced assimilation which happened in residential schools. But the pendulum has swung much too far in favor of allowing parents near unlimited control of their children.
