Heya Kurzgesagt

[@benherbielive7772]

Ok so this may sound stupid, but like, so if cells can tell other cells to change if that is what needed then in contrary to evolution theory, isn’t it possible that certain chemicals can be released that tell the sex cells, such as the sperm and the egg what is needed for the next generation, loads of these maybe completely ineffective and wrong but the body thinks this is what is needed, and possibly both cells are needed to agree on changes for this to work, so both cells must have the same decision for this to happen thus making evolution and change very rare but still possible, and bad mutations maybe accidental for reasons we don’t know

I find that understanding emergence is one of the biggest keys for people to understand how the world works. pretty much every complex thing we do (engineering, biology, programming) consists of understanding how self contained units, can work together to make something more complex work, adding layers of abstraction so we dont have to worry about the step by step minutia, allowing us to make or study more complex things without getting bogged down in the details.

I thought the exactly same thing. The soundtrack of this videos is really fascinating. I find that the song itself is also emergence. It start with single string, gradually add more instruments and they get more diverse. At the end they are arranged in harmony with many different melodies and beats but actually all of them are basically originated from the first single string. It is just adding more sounds in all directions so it is getting more complex, ended up having grand finale represents Kruzgesagt's main theme. Impressive.

This channel is really positive topic, negative topic, disaster prevention and philosophical at the same time. A healthy mix of everything

[@Blaystift]

This explanation assumes at least some intelligence at the lower emmergence level in your example. The ants can remember who they have met and know, based on the chemicals they perceive, what job their opposite has. They can also compare the quantity of different encounters and draw different conclusions from different results. So far, so simple. You could do the same thing with four lines of computer code. I have no problem imagining that these four lines have enough space in an ant "brain". Now for the assumption: the ants have knowledge of every job there is in their collony. That's quite a bit of knowledge and probably more than four lines of code! And they carry this knowledge around with them permanently. For a human, that would be quite an achievement. Humans need about three years to learn just one (admittedly somewhat more complex) job and they usually have only a rough idea of other professions. The ant has never been taught either its old job or its new one. I think that's called instinct. So my question is: What is instinct? How does it work?

In a team fortress 2 (a classic class based shooter) server, players looking at the class selection menu may choose a class to play, but they may also see what classes other players on their team are playing as. If all the players of a certain class leave, say, medic, and there are too many players of some other class, say, sniper, the team is at risk of getting beaten very badly. At this point, no critical response is triggered, all the players keep playing the overabundant classes they were playing, and the team loses. Ants are smarter than us.

Invent the next machine that allows us to travel at light speed. Find the love of your life and run away together forever.

Sammy Williams That question is sort of answered in this very video. “Wetness” is an emergent property of water occupying the empty space in between the particles of the “wet” object. Therefore, water itself is not wet.

Emergence is like synergy from video games. It comes from the fact that each thing can interact with other simple things, and if you get more of them together more things can interact and that produces new possibilities, complexity. Like when in a card game a bunch of soldiers are just basic units that have 3 properties, but combined with the other properties of other cards, like soldier captains that buff nearby units, then suddenly it’s not just a bunch of stats, there is strategy, complexity. Often the universe works like programming, and video games are essentially world simulators, so I think the complexity arises from the same place, simple parts can produce a new thing when they interact, and the universe is full of simple things that interact, and so we are what emerged. Like 1+1=2, 2 simple things interact to make a new thing, the thing can then interact by being added to another 1 or 2 to get more numbers, etc. if things interact, even simple things, they change, they form a different thing, and that process continues, creating all the different things, complexity.

[@eldritcheternity2247]

That was oddly poetic. I enjoyed that.

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Take the simplest example of this: the game of life. A simple program that puts "cells" on a 2D grid, and does 2 things A dead cell (empty grid) that is surrounded by 2 or 3 cells becomes alive. If a live cell has more or less than 2 or 3 neighbors, the cell dies. From these very simple rules entire colonies of cells emerge, grow, shift, move and disappear. Some structures move around, some evolve to become stable in time, others, perpetually creating and sending new pockets of live cells around. From 2 simple rules we created a simulation that shockingly resemble how a bacteria colony works.

[@matthewhunter2443]

1:22 finally Here’s why: I define something being wet as having water on its surface. A single molecule of water has no water in its surface, therefore it is not wet. However, two molecules of water touching is considered wet, so two or more molecules of water touching is defined as wet. For atom nerds, the poly-exclusion principle says that they can’t “touch” but they can be really close to each other and the force that pushes them apart is what feels like touching

San San Tint For one, they consistently mistake the hard and easy problem of consciousness, making them constantly go on about how it’s so mysterious that living things are made of dead parts. They make countless other errors across their videos which I can tackle on a case by case basis, but that’s their most pervasive one.

[@jimmyperales7154]

@@ganondorfchampin That's your opinion, but I actually love there videos because they think outside the box and usually talk about topics that we humans don't have much knowledge in and can't see to study such as quantum mechanics which can be studied through math. So I can see why some people wouldn't like their videos as they have a optimistic nihlism philosophical stance on thing and can explain why you and they have different beliefs. I'm studying for electrical engineering so I believe in a lot of scientific views; however, I'm also spritual in a way and can disagree with some of the their topics as we. Also, the human conscious currently does not have a universal answer as to what it is and if it's unique to us or universal because of the way physics works in our universe, people can believe different things about the human conscious. it's funny because I'm not going against what you actually said because I do believe the human conscious is different than the way they explained it and way more complicated than just a bunch of working parts. All together I agree with both ideas. Haha my bad for the long post I just love to speak my mind:)

[@ganondorfchampin]

Jimmy Perales They do not think outside the box, you’re just an ignorant person. I do appreciate that they bring these topics to a wider audience and their animation is beautiful, but their explanations really aren’t very good for many things. There is better videos on most their topics, they just don’t have as much eye candy. Also, the optimistic nihilism video is by far the most idiotic video they have ever produced, it’s a complete butchering of philosophy. I’d place this video as their second worst because it completely missed the point of what makes emergence interesting by using bad examples. My issue with the way they explain conscious has nothing to do with my personal beliefs on the subject, it’s that they fundamentally don’t understand the question.
