Admitting you were wrong isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of intelligence. The ignorant insist they are still right, in spite of new evidence.

[@Lenoxuss]

On the other hand, acting like admitting your mistakes is a rare gift or incredible feat is… a little irritating. Like proudly yelling "I washed my hands!" every time they leave the bathroom

[@CrispyChicken38]

Psiberzerker You are correct that it is a sign of intelligence... if you are being honest. By ignoring some of his worst offenses in this video, he is being dishonest by making it seem that most of his mistakes are either minor, or non offensive. I would have been more impressed if he had actually corrected some of his incorrect statements that were made to insult or slander.

Another sign of a Single Issue Wonk is if I don't even mention any particulars, they automatically apply it to their personal image of The Devil.

[@alexcrowface9898]

We find out about everything through trial and error. So we only have certain evidence that is more credible than something else, until something better comes to light then we discredit the old and accept the new. Not actual facts. If we would live by facts then nothing would change, because nobody would question anything. As for religion, 90% of religions are stubborn, because they are legal cults that are mass marketed at this point. Because such a thing as science, killed religion.

[@MeidoInHebun]

People who get angry at criticism and take it as a personal attack are narcissistic fucks.

[@veghead05]

Luke Taylor I don't think people are trying to make things perfect when they offer constructive criticism. It's meant as aid, not attack. It's like, "you seem to be struggling with that, allow me to help you out a bit," vs, "you're doing something wrong, and you should feel bad." I think it's a generational thing, but many of us were taught to assist people when we saw a need, or we were shitty citizens if we turned a blind eye when we could've helped.

I don't think it takes a lot of courage and humility to admit your own mistakes. I mean if you make one, admitting it isn't hard, at least not for me or those close to me. If others have different experiences that's fine, but I don't think we should applaud people for correcting themselves, we should expect such things as the norm, not make it something special.

The intellectual honesty of admitting one's mistakes is the kind of thing that makes me trust Adam. JUST LIKE HE PLANNED

[@Shaun-tz6qe]

This is really great. We need a culture more open to admitting mistakes and a culture in which it is not seen as a point of weakness, but of strength.

[@dunzerkug]

It is happening slowly, look at the US military for example. While they still do some shady shit they have gotten much stricter with accountability and has gotten significantly better at being open with major problems since Vietnam (My Lai Massacre aftermath and agent orange clean up). While it's not to a point people would like to see it (rape cover ups and Chelsea Manning leaks), it has lead to more open disclosures when there are major incidents. The big issue with culture is it takes decades to change, the generations that are more open about mistakes are only just getting to the ages they can lead more dramatic change. People who never lived through Cold War propaganda are just now in their late 20's and very early 30's which is the ages when you can finally run for major elected offices in countries like the US. This has been seen in places like NYPD after Serpico, it took decades to get to where they are now which is a much better place but they still have major work to do weeding out bad cops.

[@seigeengine]

+Frith Lolwut? The military became more accountable because information distribution has gradually eroded information asymmetry, not because it's gotten "much stricter with accountability."

[@noritos8907]

Absolutely!

[@King-yj2jx]

[@vinyllpreviews9462]

They cherry picked a lot of stuff to make that segment. 1. The claim. It's only beneficial if you are replacing it with an old car is a complete joke. If I trade in a 2 year old car, they don't crush the car, someone buys it and replaces an older car etc. To the point of actually taking a car off the road. 2. Other claims were "if" your charging your car off coal. Coal is slowly being replaced, hardly anywhere is coal the main supply to the electrical grid. 3. Whenever they compared the car to gas car, they compared it to a prius, which is one of the most efficient gas cars out there. Basically every stat and fact they used, they cherry picked it to make the electric car look less efficient.

mistakes. I get annoyed with him often as he has these mistakes and it's stuff I agree with, but he gives misinformation and kills the idea of why I agree with it. Or often times he builds up strawmans to go after which at the start weren't so obvious or weren't there, but now are painfully obvious. Or he leaves out information that should of been stated that without pushes his point farther like in the wedding ring episode where he claimed that diamond rings weren't around till a company pushed the idea of it. Which is true, but its stretching it as rings were actually a common thing it was the diamond on top that the company pushed, not the ring itself. Or in the tipping episode he doesn't give the fact that if a employee is on a tip wage and doesn't make the minimum wage of the state with the tips included then the employer must top off their wage to that amount. So overall we get these small mistakes which become bigger because he likes to reference back to make a overall point with the pieces all put together, strawmans which honestly really need to stop, and not a complete show of facts. The 1st and 3rd are things that can fall to human error like the not knowing about that law on tipping, but sometimes its just a bit to much of a mistake to be missing the fact that rings were normal for engagement and even in the video for it shows it as not a thing showing a couple get engaged with a apple (obviously as satire), but in actualality there would be a gold a silver ring there.

Gotta respect a guy who loves factual information so much he's willing to be proven wrong. We need more folks' like that in the world.

[@eddywilliams4295]

So smash, I need you to make a video on that and send it to true tv, ad a little evil villain to it with a dramatic death and it will be perfect for the air.

[@IanMcGarrett]

There are a lot of people like that in the world. You'll find a lot of them in science.

[@marikickass]

straywolf184 this is a scripted show .. Its not a genuine reaction lmfao , do you really watch these and think wow , that's an authentic unscripted reaction .. This isn't real .. Its a comedy sketch .. And you don't have to give someone permission to correct you. So wtf are you talking about "willing to be proven wrong"

[@XivaKnight]

@Smash And I like to think there are a lot of people who see this and say "Hey, why are they making a video about corrections and talk more about how great and happy they are for making corrections than they do actually making corrections"

[@N8DulcimerOld]

I urge you to think critically about some of the non factual statements he's made. There are instances where he very intentionally lies to people and replaces some misinformation with new information. One off the top of my head is "fat doesn't make you fat" In this current video he misrepresents everyone's criticism of him by stating that most of the major criticisms were just people not understanding him while ignoring the real lies hes told.

[@AlexB-pv1xq]

I love this show for how it's willing to be corrected. Plus the quick gaffs and goofs, and Adam's speech patterns make it quite enjoyable and pleasing to watch.

[@elder-woodsilverstein7716]

My respect for Adam keeps growing. Back then, it was seen as admirable for someone, especially a popular online face, to admit they were wrong, but now a days that is seen as a miracle. Thank you Mr Conover, you annoy, amused me, and keep me intrigued all at the same time.

[@tomtinker8220]

i can't believe people didn't notice the "but if you need to buy a car, buy an electric one," part. kinda clear what the message was if you heard it.

[@arthurprior3494]

Yeah and the forensic science one The Lawyer actually said "DNA wasn't infallible" Some people just have way too much time on their hands.

[@ZennExile]

Just one well-connected fuckpotato, is allowed to speak for "many" people in our backwards LCD fucktard version of society... I am sure everyone, with an education and a basic understanding of economics, physics, and common sense, came to the conclusion that, keeping their piece of crap model shitbox on the road is better than buying a new electric car, at least for the environment. The whole message at the end was to appeal to the fuckpotatos who didn't get it. So this leaves a tiny minority of pure bred fuckpotatos, or just one, with an audience, having the ability to sway the conversation with weaponized autism. Like the threat of nuclear war but in a media clip, or text box.

[@hamtaru]

Exactly! Only if someone just read the title and didn't watch whole the video would that get wrong And if it's not this then they're just plain stupid or can't be bothered to pay attention

[@BrothersByBud]

See, you're going on the premise that they actually watched the video and didn't just read the title and start their commenting.

[@buzzlightbeer4215]

Tesla batteries have deadly and rare cobalt (.003% of the earth) mixed with lithium. Cobalt mining is very bad for the environment and it's mined in countries that don't have the resources to perfectly protect workers and the environment. Just a small amount of cobalt can damage a person. And many people get allergic reactions by touching it

[@thatkatkrazykid4742]

How did people miss the point of the electric car episode that badly?

[@sanketmanna8653]

Actually I also got an impression that electric cars aren't green until I watched the whole episode....But frankly any rational man would know that making this "green" products also causes some pollution....They probably didn't need to make that episode point that out...

[@scotthappy6885]

The whole title is directly insulting electric cars so even if they watched the whole video the title would be sitting there the whole time influencing peoples' understanding of the message

[@berelaxed107]

Lol you guys are funny. Divorce was completely non-existent and families were much happier before degeneracy slipped through almost every sphere of our culture. Through their movies & tv shows they constantly embrace divorce as "ending a bad marriage" on purpose bc it destroys the family structure in America. Children are destroyed through this process but we go along with it bc we saw a movie where it "worked"

[@MrHaseo14]

I genuinely can't understand the logic some people have that if a show uses science and data to back up its points but makes a mistake or two, the ENTIRE show is suddenly invalidated. New studies come out that debunk old ones, new technology and studies emerge that help us gain greater insight or disprove previous thinking all the time. To say that acknowledging these means the show as a whole is wrong is to say that human beings as a whole should never advance forward, correct our past mistakes, and strive towards a better understanding of our environment. Not only that, some of these mistakes aren't even based on new studies but rather that they made a genuine mistake (the Empire State Building example for instance). The writing staff is human, and humans miss things like this a lot. It's far better for the show in the long run to point out these faults rather than claim that everything they have ever done is flawless.

[@alyssamiller7617]

MrHaseo14 exactly. Science and general facts are always changing.

[@tanszism]

That's politics for ya'. One thing disproved, you're done. It's kinda odd actually, as we scandals pass while things like these remain on you forever.

[@captainwonderbar1657]

Technically the only thing that advances science is that the current science needs to be wrong to begin with. lol Let that sink in.

[@thegamer5367]

They never claimed to never make mistakes

[@TheNinthGenerarion]

With sciencw they actively try to disprove old ideas because there’s a lot of fame in disproving strongly held beliefs in science, for example the Nobel Prize, that adds a ton of credibility to what you say and you get tons of money from it, look at the vitamins supplement video

wow, intellectual honesty, not doxing us for pointing out counter arguments and admitting fact errors. It's refreshing.

[@CrowClouds]

No we just didn't understand their nuanced argument regarding electric cars. No cerrction needed! Better to drive less than buy an electric car apparently

[@Toraxa]

Is it really that hard? They said incredibly clearly that the production of a new vehicle, even a green one, produces more carbon than driving an existing car would. The point is that replacing a perfectly good efficient carbon fuel vehicle with a newly made electric one isn't doing the world any good. Buy a green vehicle when you need a new vehicle rather than replacing a working one.

[@Freeroler]

And there are people who have already bought Model S, Model X and now are waiting for Model 3. I'm not sure they really help anything.

I applaud this. People tend to think their opinions define them and any see any attempts to change their opinions as attacks on them. We should be free from that mentality. As Bertrand Russell said, "I wouldn't die for my beliefs because I might be wrong."

[@jacobbrockhaus2737]

Feynstein 100 well your not entirely wrong, but not entirely right. Where would we be without a stable set of beliefs that can keep our morals in check? Though the opposite can also be true.

[@andrewg9433]

They actually talk about this in the episode later. Humans are and always will be very emotional as a species, rarely are people hard logical. Presenting facts that contradict a person's very identity cause their brain to perceive it as an attack and cause the same response as physical pain, putting them into a fight or flight situation and cause them to make emotional arguments that can be argued against to put an end to it. Changing minds is actually hard to do, but not impossible.

[@seigeengine]

Whereas I would die for my beliefs, because it doesn't make sense to predicate your life on the premise you are incorrect.

[@feynstein1004]

+Jacob Brockhaus Um I'm not sure what you're getting at.

[@feynstein1004]

[@kuggacouragegx6093]

Yet he is still doing the same bs

[@Itmeb]

@@dragamesLike? Oh you can’t come up with anything

[@dragames]

@@Itmeb why are you instantly making your own summation if you were genuinely curious? All this says is you're an idiot. And absolutely. Two big ones. The alpha male video where he talks about it not existing (while then accidentally proving it does exist, but still spewing bogus stories on it and not the truth of what happened with the original GROUP that studied wolf packs and ignored that other animals do have alpha males in it as well.) or the video game history where he made up some lies to justify claiming it was just a sexist market from the beginning and completely ignored that in the 90's they did market video games to girls, especially with the barbie brand games. Female gamers would possibly play them, but female gamers were more likely to play the games 'advertised to boys' as he put it so they stopped making 'games targeted to girls' and a lot of them just became 'targetted to gamers' until feminists kept screeing that they needed to be a part of something they weren't already ruining. Which is the rhetoric in that video Adam repeats, which was false. point being, he only did corrections on things that he could say were minor oopsies, and not the ones that were blatantly easily provable lies that he still wanted to promote, which you can tell his mindset on this shit from his interview with Joe Rogan.
