RSA, please do NOT listen to all of the people who comment that it's too dense - these are the people who expect everything to be delivered to them in bite-sized, ELI5 levels. It's actually a very small minority of people (the vocal minority) who complain about complexity and denseness. Many of these people are either non-English speakers, or autistic. The silent majority - aka most of us who do not comment, fully appreciate the scope and depth of the illustrations and the level of detail you put into this animation.

This talk is extremely compelling. I am a physicist, and the discussion in this video well describes the problems we encounter today in physics: we are able to explain so many separate phenomena, but we are completely incapable of arriving at a Theory of Everything. Science - as with many things - has become increasingly left-brained: devoted to the mechanics of fragments, and not the analysis of the whole. I feel it is important to note, especially in my own brain, the left brain does not shave off that which disagrees with its model, but at every instance is prepared to abandon its model of the universe and reality in favor of a more suitable description. Perhaps I am more right-brained than others, but I feel the most important thing is to be at all times willing to reformulate one's conception of life and everything pertaining thereto. I think my right brain governs all arguments, in contrast to this video. Although admittedly, this was not always the case, but rather I have arrived at this outlook through trial - and, more importantly, error. In any case, the majority of this talk rings true, and in fact, offers an explanation for much of the troubles I encounter in scientific research. I think that any intellectual should, as a starting point, endeavor to understand the workings of their mind, and I think that this video will greatly aid such studies.

Try "The mechanism of mind" by Edward de Bono. He gives some excellent ideas about how evolution has made our minds work in linear fashion and how we can use a different mode of thinking to understand both ourselves and the world (as we percieve it) around us. btw I think a theory of everything is wrong headed, unnecessary and ultimately futile. The Newtonian macro world is measurable and predictable while this is not the same in the micro or quantum world. I think science should be about "the mechanics of fragmants" (and how they fit and work together) maybe the "analysis of the whole" is more of a philosophical topic.

@@Silverhand290 1. The "quantumworld" is just as predictable and measureable as the macroscopic world, it just is fully unintuitive to us. 2. A theory of everything doesn't aim to combine newtonian and quantumphysics but to combine relativity and quantumphysics. Actually both relativity and quantumphysics do contain newtonian laws and will predict everyday physical phenomenons actually more precise(though with a lot more math) than newtonian laws ever could. 3. The issue with the theory of everything, and why you don't actually support your claim on it being wrongheaded is, that we need it to find out everything about "mechanics of fragments" because the Toe would answer us 3 unsolved questions: how gravity works on the quantum scale? How Singularities behave? And tied to that what was before the big bang.

The only way to do an analysis of the whole is to take it apart and put it back together. "We are able to explain so many separate phenomena, but we are completely incapable of arriving at a theory of everything" And your point here is? What you are saying is like "yeah I know RAM and an HDD functions, but I am still not able to understand how a whole PC functions" yeah obviously because there are more pieces to a PC than an HDD and RAM. The reason why we can't complete the toe puzzle is because we are missing pieces, not because we put them in the wrong order.

A bit of a wake-up call, perhaps... in any case it is certainly something for me to ponder. I always thought I could resist societal bias, too...
There's a deep interesting point made in this video regarding the two hemispheres of the brain and how we use them to interact with the world around us. On the one hand we can use our brain so empathize with others and see them as no different than ourselves, yet in the other hand we can use our brain to manipulate others and the world around us. If we were to take this same principle and apply it to real world situations like ones concerning race and social economic inequality, then of one were to empathize with others then we would cease to see someone my the color of their skin, But rather

From what I understood he's saying the same thing but from another angle.

Perhaps the result is the same with organizing communication but the way to that is different.

The brain is actually quite weird with it mechanics and how it employs inhibition and activation and stuff. Just to give a really simple example: the mechanism which allows you to see actually works by the light inhibiting your retina cells, stoping them from sending a signal, that is then translated by a logic gate(made up of nervecells) which is turned on when the input signal is turned of, and from that it goes more or less into your brain through and gets processed into an image

This is brilliant! It's been on YT for 12 years apparently but I only just heard of it! (Why wasn't I told!??! ) I have doubts about the job of the corpus callosum being to inhibit communication between hemispheres though. IMO it's more likely that the capacity of the hemispheres to mediate and construct those aspects of the world they specialised in, respectively, was greatly increased by the expansion of the cortex of each and the white matter (axons) which interconnects all the different specialised regions of cortical surface. IE there has been a trade off between the relative advantages of intra cortical signalling capacity versus inter hemisphere integration. If this be true, it seems to me that a major limiting factor has been the maximum size of infant head which can be successfully extruded by a birthing mother! As a "mere male" having watched three of my children being born, I am convinced that the marsupial system is far superior! 😮 😊

A lot of this is explored in complexity adaptive systems theory which is something I use a lot in business. However I think it's also important to note this isn't advocating the generalised "I'm a left/right brained person" belief people love to hold, because humans love to simplify and categorise - in fact, he clearly says several times we use both. We've fed one more at a societal level, which isn't the same as individual identification for justification of specific actions, which can be quite self-fulfilling. Very thought provoking and still in line with a lot of the neuroscience which dispels the myth - as ever, the truth lies in balance somewhere between the two, and it's always more *complex* than that!

RSA Animate is like nothing I've ever experienced, and I love it. This one was slightly too fast for me to be as enjoyable as previous ones... But I still found it enjoyable and educational. That sums it up - education has never been so enjoyable. But... I'll have to watch it a few more times to get everything, which makes me feel a bit stupid. I'm nitpicking of course, but I hope they slow down the pace just slightly in the future!

It's actually much better than TED where most people speak like preachers. This video is another category: it is an invitation to philosophize.

Wow, brilliant talk! I think I'll need to watch this at least two more times to fully grasp what he's said :)

Wow. This time it was that much information so fast that I wasn't able to read and understand all the drawn examples. Going to watch it again.
