[@DrGonzo-jl9wq]

Dear Millennials, What's with all the idiotic comments geared towards Hamiltons videos. Look him up and you'll learn that he's a highly qualified science journalist and I would be willing to wager that he knows just as much about the effects of psychoactive chemicals on the human brain as Hoffman, Leary or even Thompson. Simply judging someone's work and career based on their appearance alone is ridiculously childish. I understand Hamilton's field of study falls outside of society's perceived norm, but give him a break. Trying to put him down by saying, "he's skinny" or "his voice is creepy" is some kindergarten level school of thought. Consider being open minded and practicing tolerance towards thoughts or experiences outside your own limited knowledge and maybe, just maybe you'll learn something new, find employment and move out of Mom and Dad's basement.

[@colliecollie7644]

@jeritza Goris lol your comment has so many unfounded judgements. If the guy was just looking to do drugs and be obsessed with "hippy shit", there are much easier routes to achieving such a life that don't involve attending university or working as a pharmacological researcher/science journalist. In fact, getting a "real job", whatever that means, would be a much quicker route to earning money to purchase said drugs. Also, people are born with different metabolisms, get used to it.

[@jayohh8508]

Dr. Gonzo no truer words have been spoken my brother.

[@zoobiewa]

Skin temperature is not as constant as most of the conversation insinuates. It's not even the same across the body. But at the very least a system could be built that used an IR thermal sensor to dial in - more precisely - each floater's average body temp and throw that data into the thermostats.

[@richardreney2846]

That guy needs a big mac

[@deathgod646]

Lol i actually really enjoy watching hamilton's videos, yeah hes a lanky skinny dude and looks like creepy but he seems really chill and philosophical

[@KarunaSatoriASMR]

I just purchased a dream tank. I’m extremely excited.

[@dfgdfg_]

How is it?

[@umaizp]

still floating i guess..or may be he quit watching KZbin

[@hellboygrim666]

@@umaizp lmao right they still didnt come back

[@oDeoxys_]

your channel is pathetic lmfao

[@camilocastillo5377]

@IanMoone good luck brother

[@stevef4010]

Too much filler...this could have been done in 1 part....don't need to see him driving, showering, blabbering...get to the point.

[@NickCorreia9]

he never went in to explain any of his floats in depth, this entire series was pretty uninformative on the experience one has during a float.

[@caitfox394]

Yeah, I kept waiting for him to go more in depth about his experiences and it just didn't happen. Also, not in the least bit bashing weed, but I feel like he should have done the first float sober as a sort of basis for what they can potentially be without anything else involved. You taste your food, then you salt and pepper it.

[@WickedArtist462]

Caitlin Fox Completely agree! This person (this show) made no attempt to present this subject in an informative and educational way. This was simply drug-culture experimenting with something else to enhance drug-experiences. This wasn't about sensory deprivation chambers and what effects they can have on a person. This was about the personal quest of some hip elitist narcissist to feel a new high, then wax poetic about it as if the experience was meant to make him a better person.

[@conspiracylibrary2848]

It's probably bc he's so burnt from all the drugs. He needs a break. He will be back to where he needs to be...

[@Kaiphini]

That's because it's a very personal experience. You are literally left alone with your own consciousness. Tbh I don't know how he could have gone into more detail about it. It's like trying to explain a psychedelic experience to someone who has never done it. It's something you have to experience for yourself

[@snowzZzZz]

As long as every mind is unique, anything more than the information that he presented us would be essentially useless.

[@Mutantcy1992]

7:16 - 7:36 What?

[@petebowl8105]

A piece of my brain became fried and fell off at this moment.

[@Mutantcy1992]

Fatin Mekdad Not so much technical terms as bullshit spirit science terms. He thinks he's muscle flexing, but he's too stupid to realize he's just showing everyone how much of an idiot he is.

[@dreadred92]

+Mutantcy1992 That's how people who are high a lot talk. Source: Girl I used to sleep with frequently used weed and opium, talked exactly like this.

[@Mutantcy1992]

dreadred92 Whoa whoa whoa, I'm high a lot and I don't talk like an anti-intellectual dipshit.

[@dreadred92]

Mutantcy1992 Yeah, I didn't mean that as a generalization. Just people who are high a lot and think it means something (hippies).

[@jackshort9000]

Hamilton once again you have blown my mind you are hands down one of my favorite people in the world

[@samuelsmith6468]

WHY IS THIS MAN A JOURNALIST

[@aidanivesdavis]

"If I could implement binaural metaprogramming positive affirmation technology to free myself from the negative templates of ADHD, then I could streamline the optimization of my self-projection."

[@novusvoss]

Which I think only works in the long run if he'd jump into a tank every day and repeats his mantra. Unfortunetly a couple hours of ideal thought constelation wont beat the strong wires of inner fears. And why would he not want emotions to interfer with his actions, that defines us as humans and makes life interesting.

[@slimjim561]

ahahahahahhaha this guy

[@snowzZzZz]

It's a cool idea.

[@SgtTeddybear66]

I REALLY want to try this. I always loved discovering parts of myself. Smoking pot helped me solve some problems, but I imagine this will help aid me in seeing more my flaws. Not to mention, the combination of the two will only unlock a vast amount of my inner being. I imagine I would try floating straight up vanilla, then smoke the second time and try it again. Just so I understand the proper experience.

[@jdmc1v1c60]

1:00 I love Hamiltons no eye contact but has an eternal smile on his face while listening.

[@passionatedrive.202]

I've always seen hamilton's subtle humor this video is by far the best

[@NHLGreatestMoments]

Only in Colorado would you get offered weed before you go into a sensory deprivation tank.

[@toeupfromtheflowup469]

This cat needs to mix in some protein and hit the weights. Just a touch. Christ

[@lucharaps859]

or maybe he doesn't feel the need to please society by bulking up, jesus christ who gives a fuck

[@TheTrueSpaceStalker]

Lucha Raps or maybe he doesn't feel the need to work or walk up the stairs.

[@Andrew-hx1rd]

Amen! Lol.... This guy is a total fucking loser.

[@nopescrewu3942]

It's people like you why others hate society stop judging it shows a whole lot on how weak minded of a person you are.

[@lastuvthe]

Stick to the weight-pile and worry about yourself you fucking meat-head. Do you not drool enough at all the "hard male bodies" at the gym? I mean seriously, why do you even care about another man's body structure? Unless you're gay, the thought shouldn't even cross your mind.

[@Lilsticks609]

getting high and sitting in a floating tub sounds like the ultimate couch lock

[@LPJonasGames]

thank you hamilton and the crew for a nother awesome serius of video s, its always extremly relaxing, entertaining and informative to watch your videos. i cant put into words how much i appreaciate your work. thank you

[@kfarron3966]

I'm kinda laughing at the fact he isn't talking what he experienced in that tank but complaining about the temperature being raised or lowered.

[@cymbalfreak06]

The negativity here is amazing. Good documentary. I thoroughly enjoyed.

[@DylanKreutzer]

God Bless this man. First time ever smoking wax and he goes into a sensory deprivation tank.

[@rainarroyo7231]

I don't understand why everyone hates on Hamilton so much. He seems like a pretty cool dude, he also has an interesting way of describing things.

[@Chrisg78901]

All the assholes who are criticizing him for his appearance, his lifestyle, or whatever else are the same assholes who will never get inside a tank like this. They are afraid of what they might find. Good luck with your negativity. Its not helping anybody, including yourself.

[@LeriObba]

Haha, it's funny cause I think he's a fucking weirdo and I'm thinking of moving to Boulder just for the flotation tanks.

[@Chrisg78901]

LeriObba There is a difference between thinking he is a little unusual and posting hurtful comments that accomplish nothing.

[@Chrisg78901]

***** You are an ignorant troll who is manipulating the subject at hand. Your energy is misplaced. I will not give you anymore attention then I already have. Go back to your corner of the world.

[@Chrisg78901]

***** People who leave comments like this: "This is the second documentary where I've had to watch this anorexic dude with his shirt off. Seriously looks like one of the aliens from Men in Black that make coffee" Or this "Dis guy needs to eat some food, lookin straight outta auschwitz" Are assholes. If I come across as close minded or jaded because I don't want to deal with people who leave comments like that then I don't know what to say to you dude.I'm pretty sure anybody with half a brain can understand that logic. You are manipulating the issue, so I will retract to one of my original comments. There is a difference between thinking he is a little unusual and posting hurtful comments that accomplish nothing. 

[@QuesoDaddee]

I can't believe he didn't touch up on what he experienced.

[@Mase7figz]

i love how you ended it with distarctions lmaoooo because this 3 part episode was a major distraction to my work lmaoo

[@leviwho8366]

“ I will Instantly comprehend complicated data” lmaooo

[@ItsMotorSkills]

He never talked about his 8 hour float? WTF. I wanna know what his experience was

[@veminanuclear]

I can see this guy cosplaying as Vincent Valentine from FF7.lol!

[@wallypaulnuts660]

Hamilton is just here for the high no matter how it comes. 20 years from now I hope Vice still exists to do a special on the after effects of getting high in many different ways starring Hamilton.

[@scotiancoast3648]

Really love your shows bud I look forward to seeing more.👍

[@kaylawicks9711]

Thank you!! Could not agree more. I honestly seek out his videos on purpose now. In comparison to some of the other Vice reporters, he is a detailed journalist & a knowledgeable reporter. He takes the time to go into great detail about the situations he is 'reporting' about. In the end, he is doing this for the pure entertainment and curiosity for others. I find it funny that so many folks are bashing him, yet they keep watching? I'm glad someone sees genuine brilliance & compelling journalism!

[@keepitjedi3770]

He's so skinny jesus christ

[@TheSovietBear97]

KeepItJedi If it were to be an obese man or woman in the video and someone said 'He/she is so fat jesus christ' The comment would have 100 replies of people saying how mean the person is. zzzZZZ

[@TXDogg83]

KeepItJedi Did you hear what he was eating for breakfast??? He's malnourished for sure

[@TXDogg83]

Soviet Bear The twats that'd been like that probably think he was complementing him xD

[@atticustay1]

+KidKarnage187 that was obviously a joke

[@04dram04]

naw he just dosnt work out. Muscle atrophy

[@Doraphobic]

Hamilton is perfect. He's to be protected at all costs.

[@Loyannelima]

He seemed healthier and more alert after the tank experience. Before he seemed stunned for life 😂
