Hey Forrest you know how brilliant allows creators to create their own courses? Like kurzegzagt, Sabine Hossenfeinder (I definitely butchered that) and real engineering? well they don’t yet have any biology courses. Just food for thought. 😉

@@LarryVLe874 so to expound on it a little, I noticed that I kept running away/refusing to look into videos that challenged my beliefs, so one day I decided to sit down and watch a video be Myles Power debunking the 9/11 conspiracy theories with a open non confrontational mind. At the time I was pretty deep in the conspiracy theory world, so I started with 9/11 because it didn't personally affected me one way or the other. I was then hooked on his videos and by the time I was finished with his videos, I pretty much disrobed myself from the conspiracy theory world. However I was still a mainstream conservative, so it'll take a few years before I challenged those beliefs. I think the videos that helped me shift left the most was Philip DeFranco. From there, I later realized I was gay via a fellow classmate at a vocational school that I crushed on. I was still a Christian then, but then I started to notice that I kept running away from videos debunking creation, so once again I sat down, and started watching videos explaining how evolution works and why creation has no scientific basis. Plus I started watching videos explaining the major moral flaws and contradictions in the Bible. So that eventually led me to now.

Ben Stiller meant that Dexter was not fooling anybody into thinking he was not actually alive and up to shenanigans, while Kent Hovid meant that Lucy is not fooling anybody into thinking that evolution is real.

It's kinda like Fox News.

[@Isometrix116]

So, I lived my 23 years thinking social darwinism was describing the evolution of social customs and ideas, from language to cuisine to values to religion. In my mind, there were two types, the kind that was just natural progression, such as language mutating over time and the kind that was society-based. Society based ones were like, how latin spread across Europe because Rome was able to perpetuate itself so successfully and how empires forming forced things like the end of city-states and nomadic/tribal living because they were unable to continue to compete in this new world. My brain always kept it clear by saying the mutating was going from Latin to French while the shifting/perpetuating was going from Frankish to Latin. Turns out, it is actually just racism with a fancy hat. That sucks. I like my idea for what social darwinism is better. But also, I now have zero idea why I thought this was social darwinism or how I never realized it was horribly wrong.

There is, its called mimetics. It uses the word "meme" to describe basically every idea; religion is a meme, this comment is a meme, and the knowledge that i had pizza for dinner is a meme. And just like genes, memes evolve, essentially in the way that this guy described. I would recommend Richard Dawkins' ​"The Selfish Gene" for more info. @TheModdedwarfare3

[@blanktester]

Cultural evolution might be a nice term for what you were thinking. I can definitely see how you got there.

[@glif1360]

@@TheModdedwarfare3 That would be cultural evolution, not Social Darwinism - how could you mix them up? ;) Also, there is memetics somewhere near. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memetics en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_evolution Now, if you allow me to be pedantic, Social Darwinism is much broader than simply racism (it is still shitty though). It's a loose idea that the theory of evolution applies to a) human individuals, b) groups of humans. Therefore the wealth or poverty of humans must be explained as the result of their natural traits - say their inherited industriousness. And so any attempts to help the impoverished interfere with the flow of nature and are useless if not outright harmful: as greater competition will lead to faster progress. Soon of course these ideas were extended: it's not only individual humans that owe their success to their "nature", but nations/races/whatever. It must be noted that ideas of Social Darwinism predate Darwin and did not always adhere to the Darwinian theory of evolution, often falling into LaMarkism(i.e. idea that acquired traits are hereditary and can be passed down) or orthogenesis (i.e. idea that evolution has a direction and lead to a specific outcome). Besides Darwin himself wasn't a Social Darwinist (though to be fair he was concerned if relieving humans from evolutionary pressure by medicine, etc., would result in the deterioration of civilized humans... except he also writes that this kind of deterioration is generally compensated by sexual selection and then proceeds to blame conscription for removing the best men from the society), nor did he believe in superiority of one race over another (at least not in biological metrics).

[@zacharycates5485]

10:30 Many of the things that you are finding completely random are actually call-backs to the Night at the Museum movie. For example, Owen Wilson's character is a miniature cowboy from a Western diorama who calls Ben Stiller's character "Gigantor," and the capuchin monkey that causes a bunch of problems for Ben Stiller, like peeing on him, is called "Dexter". I believe the conceit that Hovind was going for is that as a person who finds himself taking on a night shift at a museum, he's pretending that he's IN the movie and making tons of references to it.
