I agree. I've seen it several times as well, and I just can't reconcile it before the connection is drawn. Even with my belief in it being the same 😉.

[@markfarnsworth8685]

Back in the 90s when I was in grad school, my linguistics professors were _highly_ allergic to anything even hinting at Sapir-Whorf. If you chanced to mention that hypothesis, they’d look at you like the hostess of an elegant dinner party would look at a loudly and repeatedly farting guest. I was always puzzled by that because it seems obvious to me that language and perception influence each other. I felt vindicated when I read Guy Deutscher’s book, Through the Language Glass. Great vid, by the way!

You just revived an interest on human perception I had some time ago.

[@jacqslabz]

9:51 the funny part is when you observe this happening in your own mind for things that are not color. How having a word to describe something (a name for it) makes it easier for your mind to "interface" with the concept. I noticed this the other day with yoga asana/poses I'm learning. Having a name for that pose makes it easier to remember the pose, as opposed to just thinking of it as "oh the one that's like blah blah blah body part position blah blah" - I guess because it's a mental shortcut? Once I learned the name, I could remember it much more completely & easily. See also the beginning of Over The Hedge where they name it Steve at first.

[@madaemon]

For an extra little mind trip, start at 2:40 where Prof Dave has made the bridge, pause it, then press the left arrow once to go back about five seconds. Look back and forth between A and B while it's paused, and even though it's a still frame, the A square will seem to "darken" and the B square "lighten" Even though you've already confirmed they're the same color, your brain forgets and slips back into its original perception. Do it a few times; it's pretty cool!

[@kurage_medusa]

To me, neither square appears darken or lighten, but it still makes one appear darker relative to the other

[@kylezo]

It's not possible to debate topics that have facts on only one side. The problem with debating the types of people you mentioned is that it's never in good faith because they always already know that their positions are unsupported by facts and they exist in the absence of logic and knowledge, therefore, there's nothing to debate.

[@X1Y0Z0]

Prof. Again, another interesting & important topic

[@MrJeanMaker]

I have a theory that the reason we don't remeber our life when we were babies is because we didn't speak yet, making impossible for us to form memories since we couldn't describe them to ourselfs. It's hard to explain but if you think about it, it makes sense. I also believe that our perception of time is related with language. If we couldn't count time in any way using words or numbers, how would we understand it's passing? Yeah, we would still have the sun, days and nights, but I don't think we would care about weeks, months and years. We would have no way to know our bithdays, so years wouldn't matter too.

I know it's a really random question but if i were suddenly teleported to a universe with 4 spacial dimensions and 1 time dimension and lets say somebody were to shine a light bulb from some point on its w axis, just beyond our perception, would all which we see around us be illuminated by that light even though the torch does not exist in the same 3d space we are in? (Not 100 percent sure i explained it well enough) Would objects in that light be shining all the way through regardless of the material or would the way it shines look as it normally would because maybe the light which is emitted by the bulb is restricted to the 3 dimensional slice it exists on? Also great video as always!

[@trucutru3]

Think about a 2-dimensional being that comes to our 3-dimensional world. They are inside a a cubical room with a chair on it. They are only aware of the stuff at floor-level so to them the room appears like a square with four small wooden circles inside (the four legs of the chair). If you turn on a ceiling light, that is beyond their perception what they 2-D being will experience is that some of the floor will be brightly illuminated, some of it will be in the chair's shadow, and the inner part of the circles won't be illuminated (since the rest of the chair blocks the light). So something similar would happen to us in the 4-dimensional world. We would see things illuminated or not depending on how their shape actually blocks the light in the 4th dimension.

The thing I did find interesting was with Camille Paglia, he was in a discussion with, it’s a famous discussion, I guess, and they’re talking about gender, which I did find very interesting, and it was great to hear them both talk about that, but all the upper level, academia, intellectual part of what they were talking about just doesn’t apply. it doesn’t matter.

[@AcaciaAvenue]

Very interesting video, expecially the last part about the 2010 study. I have a question about this study: can this conclusion be extended? I mean, I don't know if it can be applied in reverse (aka perceiving something as more far as it actually is when you don't want it), but I wonder if that conclusion can be applied at more than just physical distance to an object and use it as some kind of "life helper": I think it would be a mistake to say something like, "if you can't reach a goal it's because deep down you don't want to reach it", but I wonder if you can trick yourself into "wanting" or "needing" a certain goal, whatever it is, to trick your mind into perceiving it as closer that it really is, in order to have an easier way achieving it. Or am I into a fallacy here?

[@memitim171]

Your subconscious is pretty dumb, you can trick it into doing all kinds of things. It's generally busy with lower brain functions and doesn't worry too much about 'fact checking' the way your conscious mind does. How much it would help you in this particular hypothetical is debatable, perceiving your goal as closer or more achievable could be helpful, but it could also blow up in your face...

[@friedmule5403]

There is another funny fact. Your sensation can influence how you perceive a person. Example 1: You get a stranger to hold a warm cup of water while talking to them, and they'll think more fondly of you after your meeting, compared to if you gave them a cup of cold water to hold. Example 2: By inconspicuously touching a cashiers hand while receiving or giving money, will the cashier think you were a nicer person than if you had not touched their hand at all.

9:33 FALSE! There are dedicated words words light blue and dark blue in German. "Hellblau" and "Dunkelblau" are the words used in German. (I am German, so I know this.)

[@theodiscusgaming3909]

Yes but those are more specific types or 'subsets' of Blau. You can just say something is Blau. Even in english you can say there are dedicated words for blue like 'azure' or 'sapphire' or something like that, but still ultimately they are more specific subsets of blue. On the other hand in Russian, синий and голубой are the least specific you can possibly get and they are not subsets of some overlying 'blue'. You have to specify is something is синий or голубой, just like you have to specify if something is green or blue in English. On the other hand, you don't need to do that in Japanese, you can just say something is 青い (aoi) which can be either blue or green. Another example: there are two words for 'red' in Hungarian, 'piros' and 'vörös' where 'piros' is a lighter shade of red and 'vörös' is a darker shade. And again, they are both the least specific you can get. You just can't say something is 'red' in the English sense, you have to specify if it's 'piros' or 'vörös'. TL;DR: It's not that they have different words for a color, it's that those different words are the least specific they can get in their language.

8:51 Could a hypothesis similar to this one explain why women are able to differentiate between the shades of a certain colour better than men?

[@FawadAli_SST]

There are some. while there are a lot of studies that have shown that women are better perceivers of colours than men and are better in their spatial perception (locating points in space, determining the orientation of lines and objects etc). men on the other hand have better depth perception and track moving objects. In my evolutionary psychology class, it was told that theorists suggest these differences in abilities evolved due to the environment. They say that men were to hunt and women would store food which they would later have to take out. As you see hunting requires tracking moving prey and distance of prey, while storing things in different locations require remembering the texture of the locations and recognizing them later.

[@mgsp5871]

@@FawadAli_SST I think such viewing capabilites can be learned and trained. If you constantly exercise to hit a bird with a stone, your perception of distance bill become better. If you collect apples all day, you will soon differentiate between the sweet and the sour ones by colour.

@@mgsp5871 You are absolutely right. Most of such capabilities are learned. But studies show that there are biological bases of many such capabilities (and the gender differences in them).

We've all seen the fight. It was well worth the sacrifice. It had many twists and turns, and at times it seemed the outcome could have gone either way during many GOOD takedowns on BOTH SIDES in the three rounds of vicious and logical, intellectual jousting. Spoiler alert: We win! And in the end, the judges awarded our side, as our humble and unlikely hero, much like the Tom Hanks war hero of old, stood bloodied, but not beaten. Intellectual but not logical. It was Prof. Dave hero of the Betas, whom, by the narrowest of margins slew the Gabby Goliath!!

Absolute Zero. Huh Prof? Now im talking like you! A real vacum on the right side of the market place of ideas. . But we'll take it. Next time You will be prepared, and do research on your opponent before hhand. Thats ok, you didnt have a trainer, its to be expected for your first political fight. But now, you are on their radar. So you will need all the help you can get. I volonterr my services to prepare you for your up and coming matches. Lucky we had the judges on the take,i say. So part one of my point.

To an intellectual like me, that doesnt make logical sense. So my natural deduction leads me to only one other culprit. SOMEONE DISABLED THE COMMENTS, and all the fingers point TO YOU!!! Why did you do it Prof? Are we not worthy??? The things Jesse was saying!!! you dont understand I had so much snark I had to release so much snark to give... By preventing me from commenting during the video, I truly felt what it must have felt for prisoners of war to be captured and tortured for decades in bamboo cages, poked and proded with bamboo spears, and starved half to death. I mean the confluence of never heard before words of salad mixed with obvious early stage dementia fell to the wayside.. I needed to snark so bad, my eyeballs were floating in all the liquid snark... So please, lets communicate.. Why did you DISABLE THE COMMENTS on the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/moeqYpeErsyCnaM? My instinct is a "lack of trust" ... Prove me wrong. I want to be wrong. We are better than that, as your community, Dave. Trust us. All i could think about was a scenario where you were like some evil candyman and i was a toddler who just wanted candy and had been annoying you all day for some candy and you checking "Disable comments" was like hadning my a lillipop dipped in habanero sauce rated at 1 million scoville units. And then watching me take my first lick. Evil man! So, in closing, I can only speak for myself, but im sure someone else in this army of plebs that stans as your online army, must feel the same way as me.. Why did you give us snark balls? And if its because of trust, we promise to be good for now on! yours truly, Pleb-in-training Maxx

I disabled comments because I got tired of explaining basic logic to the dumbest people alive.

@@ProfessorDaveExplains hahahh oh snap!! yea well i understand that, and i hope to see you do your thing as a leader of people in political office one day. We need more scientists like you, leading our country, and fixing this mess we are in.. So it was really a surprise and refreshing to see a scientist engage with these theocrats\insurrectionists\bioterrorists\etc in their market place of bad ideas and nonsense... so we dont end up like the planet in "Dont look up" :) thanks Prof.
