Comment Responses: What Are Ideas, and Who Gets to Have Them?

[@Oxibaras]

Dude, you're a damn intellectual hero. Please be aware: I'm definitely going to take up on your offer of mentorship for creating an idea channel. I have all kinds of things planned out spanning many media, and I think it's only fair you have a voice in it. Much blessings, you literally created a catalyst that will take the entire world in a better direction.

[@debbydoodler33]

Mike, thanks so much for tackling my question! As someone who dearly loves this show and what it has done (and is doing), it is an incredible honour and absolutely made my week. I plan to respond to your response :D on my blog in the near future as it, and these last few episodes, have got me thinking a lot about my journey as a student of critical literary theory and now as a teacher.

[@scorpiomischief]

I will miss this channel so much! thanks for the great memories and amazing ideas ❤️

[@gigglysamentz2021]

4:35 Here's an idea: on the next project, the most important episodes would be made AFTER the discussion with the users. For example posting a first draft of your idea, and doing the comment responses before the main episode XD

[@SupLuiKir]

0:12 I'm imagining dozens of derivative meme channels that slightly alter the title "PBS Idea Channel", most of which fully commit to their individual bit they're doing according to the altered title, all with the homey shit-tier quality we love and expect from memes. (Kinda like what happened to I Hate Everything, in case you didn't catch the reference)

[@TheWordsmythe]

Let a thousand channels bloom!

[@TheWordsmythe]

I'ma ruin the SEO by starting an Idea Channel focused entirely on point-of-sale devices.

[@gigglysamentz2021]

This topic is just perfect for a finale. It really feels like one. Like a satisfying, hopeful one.

[@amegenshiken]

I frequently show other people the Idea Channel episode about Welcome to Night Vale when introducing them to the podcast in general.

[@gigglysamentz2021]

3:21 I really like the idea that you wanted to go against the trend of simple answers... I never thought of it :)

Nice anarchist reference with the "no gods, no masters"! :D

[@CaptainGreenHawk]

The romantic "nomadism" bit made me think of this: "Not all who wander are lost."

[@azertyQ]

That topic of choosing a medium to fit a message has got me wanting to see a hymnal choir (i.e. like singing in an audience singing a semi-prepared song(not sure if there is a better word for it?)) essay on the concept of cooperation.

[@rwhe423723]

In terms of the different forms of media for expression, you actually hit a lot of the points that are covered in UDL (Universal Design for Learning) that shifts educational focus away from specific barriers of media preventing the understanding or the showcasing of learning. For example, allowing students to either write a text response to some sort of prompt, record a video detailing their response, make a poster that somehow depicts their comprehension, etc. Since some forms of media are very obvious barriers to some, opening up the classroom to additional forms in a universal sense so that students can find their own comfort for expression.

[@Phatcat200]

In response to how to get people in the conversation around 7:15 One way to actually get a conversation going is to stream an episode live, after the episode runs its course you allow a handful of viewers to participate in live conversation with you. How you get to choose the viewers wouldn't be that difficult either, in radio shows they have a quality control group separate from the host speaker of the show to make sure that the viewer isn't just in it for the lulz. So after the episode airs, have a brief 1-2 minute intermission for calls (It doesn't have to be actual phone calls, It can be any communication service of choice like discord, skype, hangouts, etc.), and then start the conversation after the quality control group selected a handful of people who have things to add to the discussion. It's all fair game too because whoever dials up fastest gets to be part of the conversation. Hell, you don't even need the intermission, you can start accepting calls the very second the episode starts running. The only problem with this method is that you won't be able to get to everyone in on the call. You'd have to decide whether you want short additions to the conversation and move on to someone else for their input or have a larger discussion and risk being limited to a smaller handful of people to build upon the topic.

[@ShadowWingTronix]

There is already a sort of experiment about what medium works the best. Compare a movie, book, comic, video game, audio drama/audiobook, and TV show of the same IP and see who told the story, especially if one of them is the source and the others adaptations, the best.

[@benjaminbrady2385]

The final frontier... the last episodes of Idea Channel!

[@drewfro666]

5:51 MEDIA OFFLINE

[@innocent_fugitive]

Thanks. Should have checked the comments before I went into second-by-second viewing. :-)

[@drewfro666]

While the video is paused, you can hit the "," and "." keys to advance one frame at a time. Even then it's blurry and that's the only thing I could make out. I thought it would be an easter egg.

[@innocent_fugitive]

Thanks. Just found out about the "." and "," shortcut recently. And yeah, I thought it was an easter egg too.

[@dobo9150]

The Easter Egg is Windows 10?

[@Holobrine]

If someone else makes an Idea channel, can you put some sort of endorsement on this channel so we know about it?

[@arielfabulous]

MIKE REGNETTA RESPONDED TO MY COMMENT AAAAAHHH! But seriously, I really liked your response to my question, which I have summed up thusly: The conversation began on the internets, but will continue forever in the meatspace.

[@abramthiessen8749]

Regarding ongoing discussions as part of media: interactive webcomics. They are ongoing discussions between the audience and the creator.

[@tenebrisscarrow3140]

Ayyy I appeared! Thanks for answering Mike

[@tnttiger3079]

Heeeeeey wynaut an idea channel family? Like, if people make more idea channels that are deemed of high enough quality you could feature them on twitter and the KZbin channel page- one or two may even go on to become true successors!

[@benjaminbrady2385]

Well, I thought I should say this *before* this channel stops, irrationally. I want to thank you for the years of great content Mike and I wish you all the best for any future endeavours that you might have! Goodbye!!!

"Consuming alot". Mike wants us to binge-eat and throw things in the trash?

FIRST IDEA CHANNEL NOUVEAU VIDEO WILL BE ABOUT HOW WEED IS ACTUALLY MAGIC

[@Blabla130]

0:44 But... What would the opposite of Idea Channel be?

[@abramthiessen8749]

A work which does not inspire discussion and does a minimum of philosophy?

[@peardude8979]

Abram Thiessen That only works if you describe IC as having lots of philosophy, and not simply philosophy. What would the opposite of philosophy be? Psydointellectual bullshit?

[@abramthiessen8749]

So School of Life?

[@Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time]

This is an invitation to see an artist theory on the nature of time! This geometrical process can be represented by just one equation (E=ˠM˳C²)∞ with energy ∆E equals mass ∆M linked to the Lorentz contraction ˠ of space and time. The Lorentz contraction ˠ represents the time dilation of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. We have energy ∆E slowing the rate that time ∆t flows as a universal process of energy exchange or continuous creation. Mass will increase relative to this process with the c² represents the speed of light c radiating out in a sphere 4π of EMR from its radius forming a square c² of probability. This forms the probability and uncertainty of everyday life and at the smallest scale of the process is represented mathematically by Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π. The brackets in the equation (E=ˠM˳C²)∞ represents a dynamic boundary condition of an individual reference frame with an Arrow of Time or time line for each frame of reference. The infinity ∞ symbol represents an infinite number of dynamic interactive reference frames that are continuously coming in and out of existence.

[@Holobrine]

5:30 This "arbiter" thing is why I think Reddit is a much better home for what Idea Channel tried to be, because of its democratic up-vote system. I like Quora too, which has a similar up-vote system, but also has experts on the site for science questions deserving definitive answers. Best of both worlds!

[@dliessmgg]

The up/downvote system certainly has its upsides, but it's not without fault. Many times the comment response videos highlighted comments that had fundamental disagreements with the main video. These were often chosen to clarify certain points, or ask questions that could lead to such clarity. I can't see that kind of comment doing well in a system that is based on popularity.

[@peardude8979]

Dliess Mgg It would entirely depend on the community. I would like to believe that the type of community IC has, valid criticism would get upvoted.

[@itsKarenTerry]

Why the reupload?

[@briannilsedits]

mea culpa

[@BleachBubblegum]

Early in the old video, he screwed up talking about one of the comments, and started fresh immediately after. They missed editing out that part, and it has been fixed.

[@itsKarenTerry]

That's crazy I didn't even notice the first time around haha

[@BleachBubblegum]

I did. Started to think the video was skipping, because he started the same statement twice. Got through a good chunk of it the first time through, stumbled over a few words, and started over. Lol

[@Fairyslash]

-Anyone else notice the red flash??-

[01:30] From A-level to C-level....

[@therealquade]

Senpai noticed me. Now the $64,000 question, Do I make an idea channel, or continue being lazy, and the follow up, how do I even know that reference to make it?

[@iksar121]

As i writer i don't think that's true. Not insufficient, incorrect would be more accurate.

[@BoxheadRoss]

DON'T GO IDEA CHANNEL I LOVE YOU

[@MultiMaikimaik]

_Media offline_

[@Holobrine]

Mike, you misunderstand what people mean when they say you probably were high when you wrote this. They probably have smoked weed or something before and know they get a more "creative" mindset when they are high, and they get that same mood here on Idea Channel. Remember, they like this mindset, it's what keeps them addicted, so it's actually a weird form of a complement. Don't be offended, be proud.

[@DeeDee-lm4ov]

wish you people out there would stop with your crap comments
