Roland Barthes on (clearly not the real) Einstein's brain.

Those too dim to figure such thoings out for themselves - in other words, everyone who has commented on this video - might like to know the text is taken trom Roland Barthes's essay on Einstein's brain, published in the 1957 collection Mythologies. British tv, 1990.

[@RuthandKenzie]

If it was really Einstein's brain he would be wearing gloves. Or anyone's brain for that reason.

[@crator007]

The actual brain is cut to many little pieces and sent to many different universitys/ hospitals

[@AutocraticJalal]

if i am not wrong Einstein's brain was carefully divided in to 240 pieces for research .......

[@viritavil]

Great essay! great analogies. Short, concise and direct to the point.

[@Koran90123]

Literary Prowess at its best... It remains words such as Barthes' that do genius justice...

[@man13preet]

but why? after the operation, his brain was not in proper order but it was reversed.

[@slovakmath]

why do non mathematicians and non physicists claim Einstein contributed most to modern physics, hence being the "smartest person"? imo (and most practicing physicists and mathematicians) Feynman, Dirac or even Gauss went way beyond Einsteins abilities. i think people are actually drawn to Einstein because they are captured by his celebrity. obviously he was very talented, all i am saying is there are others who also deserve this fame

"The most powerful brain of all has stopped thinking" and has left a rather bothersome stain

[@tazmaniaco65]

...Do they really keep Einstein's brain in a bucket that says "Einstein's brain"? Well,now that's very sophisticated

[@icimblind]

First of all what's up with the unlabeled Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket?? Freeze it @26 second mark. The tip of those thumbs aren't looking too healthy. Finally is it just me, or did any one else think a dog was going to jump up, grab it, and take off with it?

[@hardstylekid123]

man, why would he touch Einstein's brain WITH NO GLOVES

[@EliasJonsson]

did einstein have ADD? "continious thought stream"...

[@realemolove]

No gloves that's got to be a against health code

[@peterm3964]

the brain is one thing . The mind is another altogether

[@GothicaKenny]

if we drink a brain. do we get their ideas?

[@kiaraamartya]

he only uses 3/4 part of his brain

[@Gytax0]

It's not his brain -.- Who would put genius' brain in a bucket and wear no gloves touching those?

[@Viz731]

@hanzlow Yes, I know. But this is Einstein's brain we are talking about... and wow, didn't know I was going to see this comment ever again..

[@Meeks861]

Einstein was a brilliant man, check out the video titled "Why Socialism". He offers an impeccable argument for democratic socialism that would have me believe that if he were alive today he would advocate something called a Global Resource Based Economy. Check that out too if your interested.

[@jonbaker83]

I must have a sample

[@SweSmiile]

BUT DOES IT HAVE THE GOLDEN VOICE!!

[@circusboy90210]

@Viz731 why not?

[@coolxgama]

einstein's brain like common human's brain. but it consist of amazing think

[@Kawp123]

He wasn't wearing gloves!

[@Clintelligent]

zombies might eat them!

[@crucioch]

I think it's not Einstein brain because the doctor didn't wear rubber gloves.

[@sadeghsafari100]

this brain is bigger than a head.....

[@INMATE2468]

Maybe if we eat it we will all become like him..

[@janosfischer]

@GreenDotDress no there are many ways to conserve such things

[@Surtak]

Obviously. Everyone knows that touching preserved brains will instantly KILL YOU if you don't wear gloves. /sarcasm

[@15Lanzo15]

You also came here caus of the new discovery of a marticule that travel faster than the speed of light??

[@darialeu4463]

around 2022 interested in einstein?

[@prayforworldpeace]

It's all relative

[@nicnacazza]

wasnt his brain bigger than the average persons?

[@abrarockers]

the first video is the Einstein's brain was disected.. this is not true!!

[@mescience]

That was Abbynormals brain

[@deneve3]

pieces not peaces... peace

[@Eddyisrich403]

@crator007 wrong

[@MrSpacemonkey0]

[@Surtak]

@ohgaryo Despite the caps, I actually think he's correct...either that or that other source was telling bullshit.

[@SUNBLAKCARBON666]

E-mc2 is dead...here's the new GIJ,J=0

[@Monthral1]

[@otep8atyahoodotcom]

Gloves!!!! you will infect Einstein's brain!!

[@MrHenricvillegas]
