[@LemurWhoSpoke]

It's actually one of the channel's worst videos because it promotes an unscientific myth. Haber didn't "feed a growing population." He grew the population! Humans cannot be created without excess food. To say otherwise is to claim that humans are made from thin air. This is a common myth, foolishly embraced even by population ecologists. We know that the populations of every other species on earth track food availability. Their populations rise only when more food becomes available. The same is true of humans, but because we move food around through trade, many people can't see the connection. So when we "make more food to feed a growing population," what we're doing is actually growing the population. And we're doing so to the delight of the economists who perpetuate this myth. After all, growing populations equal growing economies. What's laughable is that even environmentalists fall for this crap, even though it undermines their work.

[@livyhouse5946]

I did not watch the original video when it came out, but based on the comments it’s seems the portion cut discussed suicide. As a person who has struggled with suicide and knows many others who have, CENSORSHIP IS NOT THE WAY TO HELP!!! One of the hardest things for those struggling with mental health is that there is negative stigma associated with it. People who struggle with this should not be shoved aside or told that they need to hide their pain. They need to be seen as real people struggling with real things, and education is a critical part of this. It hurts to see that KZbin feels the need to censor the suffering of people presented in an educational and historical way. The point of talking about suicide is that it is painful, and telling sufferers that they should hide their pain is FAR more dangerous than allowing this dialogue to take place. Mental health is real. Too many people have died of it to pretend it’s not. At the very least, we owe it to them and to those struggling now to encourage education with kindness and an open mind, not fear and shame. For those who may be struggling, please know that you are not the only one, and that struggling with mental health is okay. I know first hand how hard it is, and recovery is not an easy path. But it is worth every ounce of effort that you put in. Just knowing that you have made it this far tells me that you are more than strong enough to get through this. And thank you, for inspiring me to keep trying when I feel like giving up. Knowing that you are out there fighting gives me the courage to get through one more day. The world may not change much, but we will. And it will get easier in time. Until you can believe in yourself, I will believe in you. Please stay safe all, take care of yourselves! ❤️

For those wondering the Bits that were taken out were at 16:00 - 17:26 of the original video (I think that's all, I could be wrong though), it regards Clara's suicide. In my personal opinion, this promotes leaving out events that should not be forgotten. I can sympathise more if these events were modern, but I personally feel it's different for more historical ones. There is also the issue of perhaps triggering people who may have trauma, but I feel like this isn't a reason to demonetise. Rather it's more of an incentive to release a clean version as well.

[@piggydabest]

@@LarmAlter Sorry to be clear when I say I sympathise, I mean I empathise. Like I understand, but I still disagree, I don't believe that just because someone is covering suicide means the video should be demonetized. The only time I feel someone should probably be demonetised is if they are being douchey and disrespecting someone, taking advantage of a suicide to get more money if you get my meaning.

[@ninjawhale03]

@@Armadous Ah I see I hadn't thought of that, it's not that the subject matter was necessarily the issue. It was way it was depicted. Personally I feel it was depicted fine, but it is what is I guess

In fact I double checked trigger warnings on youtube don't come with guaranteed demonetization, so maybe the topic didn't demonetize it, it could've just added the warning and the cartoon demonetized it.

It came out while I was still in my chemistry degree and I got so excited when Veritasium replied to my question about Hildebrant's flask. I'm glad he re-uploaded it for kids to be able to watch. I must say, I can see why very young children might not need to be exposed to topics of suicide, but to restrict it to 18 is a huge mistake on KZbin's part. With teen suicides being as common as they are, it is a topic people should discuss openly, not act as though it doesn't exist.

Talking about sex educationally also doesn't need to be age restricted, maybe only actual graphic acts.

*As a German I can say "WE ARE NOT ALL NAZIS!" - In-fact as far as the 'MASTER-RACE' concept it came from books written by the eugenics movement based in Pasadena, California USA in 1901. Google "Better Babies Contests". In the United States (1908-1916) where Blue eyed, Blond haired babies" where considered the best Human 'Live-Stock' for reproduction of the American race while dark skinned babies were banned from these contests. The eugenics movement also made CASTRATION the preferred punishment for black criminals in the Whole Western World from America to Australia. Over 10 million Aborigines where castrated in Australia for just being MEN and as an attempt to make their race go extinct! The whole MASTER-RACE concept was started by Southern Democrats and their books on Eugenics and it spread to Europe by the 1920's where Hitler read about it for THE FIRST TIME while Hitler was in prison and first learned about Eugenics and put his own twist on it. All this "Master-Race" stuff was NOT a German concept until AFTER the American Eugenics Movement had spread to Europe! Hitlers goal after reading 'Mary de Garmo's' / "Better Babies Contest" book was to turn Germany into the worlds first Selective Breeding Country. All Started in America. Read the book "War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race" Written by Edwin Black to find the truth on how Europe was influenced by the American movement for racial purity.*

This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus Zechariah 13:7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. The Shepherd here is Jesus. John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. This is the fulfillment of the prophecy. Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ This happened near 30 AD. Hosea 6:1-2 Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again. And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus. Luke 21:11 ► There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Peace and Love to you all Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Everlasting Father?. There's your answer The whole world will turn against Israel and not just Palestinians. Then know the end is near. God bless you all.

Hats off to you Derek! YOU ARE THE BEST SCIENTIFIC STORYTELLER!!✨️ If any normal person would say this story we would leave the vid halfway thinking who cares?? But you you kept us hooked

[@sayhowling]

Veritasium is one of those channel i actually gonna fight for. like this man have brought nothing but knowledge and this is what youtube repays him.

[@meseet2211]

Hey, hello, what do you plan to do to "actually gonna fight for it"?

[@soundscape26]

It's precisely KZbin that allows him to have the career he has... we're talking about just 1 video.

[@eugene9852]

Relax. Derek is already a multi-millionaire. He'll be fine.

[@jankiprasadsoni6793]

​@@soundscape26Wdym just one video? It's not an everyday mishap like you forgot to wash one of your socks and it disappeared. There is a team to review the video and all and they still chose to de monitize the original one and age restrict this one

I just added Snatoms to my holiday wishlist. I'm going to be taking some Chemistry next year and it looks fantastic for the Organic Chem section. Thank you for putting out invaluable content.

[@naveedsegments]

In last... your talks won my heart. Brother this is your greatest of greatest video ever. Acknowledge that

I’m a 71yo Veteran and my Grandfather fought in WW1 . He had told me some stories about the war and all the truly horrific things he saw. Damn! Why are humans always killing each other?

Thanks for taking the time to keep this great lesson accessible!

[@MrBosor]

Absolutely one of your best videos, and by extension the best content on this platform. Thank you.

Very good video. Although I watched the first one, I watched this one too. Thank you for your hard work and great content!

You know his atom invention is actually so sick, and I usually frigging hate sponsored segments. This guy is genuine.

[@vasilikivasiliki984]

Sometimes science gets a bit hard but luckily there is this channel to explain everything in a simplified way

[@ezekielmulder1056]

As a chemistry PhD student, I use a model kit almost everyday. I will say that snatoms seem like a great idea but the geometry seems like it probably wouldn’t work and there are lots of times when you would want to create bonds which you couldn’t make using fixed magnetic atoms. I realize that this isn’t a problem for most people but making stuff like epoxides and four membered rings are quite useful. That said, if you are mostly interested in working with cyclohexanes and cyclopentanes then they sound great!

[@zabababa9969]

Can you say what brand of model kit for molecules is the best to represent small proteins or nucleic acids and where i can buy it. I'm interested to make a visual representation stereochemistry of active center of enzymes and its substrates.

[@tylerorr3851]

@@zabababa9969 i mean depending on the protein they can be really complex. I know you said small proteins, but we use 22 amino acids to build ourselves so you would need 22 different blocks to represent each amino acid. You also can't visual a protein in just one dimension you have to visualise it four. So honestly, i would be extremely interested in this answer too. For DNA i think you would have a a lot easier time finding a 3d representation.

This is one of the best videos on KZbin. Your postscript remarks gave me chills. Thank you.

This was really powerful and insightful, both on the man who developed several key areas of chemistry and the historical importance (or lack thereof). Great work!

[@stevoofd]

Very powerful episode. I hope you do more of these history dives into scientific paradigm shifts, they are some of my favorite subjects!

[@thomasmushi6304]

The most educative and sombering video I've watched from Veritasium! Don't stop making these videos. If you stop making them, someone else will.

On a side note, this story really brings home the melancholic scientist as in the Coldplay song.😔

This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus Zechariah 13:7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. The Shepherd here is Jesus. John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. This is the fulfillment of the prophecy. Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ This happened near 30 AD. Hosea 6:1-2 Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again. And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus. Luke 21:11 ► There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Peace and Love to you all Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Everlasting Father?. There's your answer The whole world will turn against Israel and not just Palestinians. Then know the end is near. God bless you all. Please spread this message to the ends of the world. I'm starting a KZbin channel within 1 month, which will be focused on different Bible topics, so consider subscribing..

Bro I just made a science fair presentation today about chemestry and used this video to study and talk about Haber's inventions. It's very unfortunate that such good content got demonatised.

[@fidd1442]

What you explained in the video, I learned in 2 minutes by my chemistry teacher. Really says a lot about this video.

[@jleewatts4318]

There was no need for the previous version to be demonetized. Telling the personal aspect and how science is a double edged sword is important.

[@NitinJaiswal-gi6qt]

I just felt every single second of the story. Amazing video ❤. Such stories build my interest in science and scientists and eventually i read more books.

[@nathanielmiller2101]

Personally, I think Haber shouldn't be demonized because he weaponized chlorine gas. Look at the Manhattan project and notice that the people on the project aren't viewed negatively like Haber, but since the allies won WW2, they're viewed as heroes. History is written by the victors, and noticing that not everything is black and white should be touched upon more than just sidenotes in textbooks and videos.

[@cslivestockllc138]

Restricted or not, that is a great and sad story at the same time. I had no idea … Thank you!

[@Walthanar]

I love you so much Derek, your videos are incredibly deep and so important for our collective knowledge and also for our wisdom. The youtube policy is shameful to say the least, but that brought the contents of such an impactful video to the attention of followers old and new, so let's make the best of the whole situation. As a physicist, my heart is always torn apart when I think about the bad applications humanity has given to our beloved scientific studies. When I visited the Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima I couldn't stop crying for hours, even now, 7 years later, I am tearing up just thinking about it. And it wasn't the photos of the small rusted tricycle that destroyed me, it was the relatively simple schematics of the actual bomb. It was the thought of the marvels of atomic energy and the minds at work, the time invested to put the most poetic knowledge of our universe at the service of destruction of fellow human lives. And I understand the complex reasons behind the fact that an abrupt ending to the war could have saved more lives than the ones destroyed, I understand the paradoxes and the political finesses involved. It's just that I suffer so much every time humankind finds a reason for war instead of a reason for peace and collaboration. Human mind is capable of incredible discoveries, and yet we as a race always find a way to put it at work for the worst. I will never blame science, hardly the scientists, even those involved in the development of destructive technologies, they might have no other choice. But I am more and more convinced that humanity is not ready for the most amazing gifts that nature has given, which is intellect, and if humankind can't achieve understanding of the poetry behind it, and its uses for enlightened advancements as a whole, as a race, as a universal civilization, then probably our species is not worth it. It's so sad.

[@bpj1805]

Well they're simply wrong, everyone outside their little Silicon Valley echo chamber knows they're wrong, and we would tell them if we didn't get the banhammer for it. No sympathy when their ultimate inevitable demise comes through losing touch with what their market wants. One day when The Moment comes, people will switch away from these toxic platforms faster than they can adjust, and they will get marooned like Myspace. I can't wait for the day it happens.
