[@moonliteX]

ok i'm half an hour in and all they have talked about is how youtubing is from the perspective of a youtuber and i'm getting pretty tired of it. half of this podcast (all episodes) is about how they feel about youtubing and i'm not fucking that interested. it's like people who work at banks keep talking about how working in a bank is like. hours and hours and hours and hours

Vsauce was the first channel I discovered, that literally changed my life. I was homeschooled and brought up religiously. I am also dyslexic so reading was kinda out of the picture for me. And no one ever told me that people knew how stuff worked. And how he linked things up moved from topic to topic is exactly how my brain works. I am now getting my PhD in molecular biology, and it does have a large part because of people like Michael.

[@WespectRamen]

This man is dyslexic and can't even read what a nice comment he himself wrote. Thoughts and prayers 🙏

@@MrSkinnyWhale dyslexia doesn't mean I can't read it means I struggle with reading and writing. As language doesn't make a lot of sense to me. When I was young it was really hard for me. It still is and I'm nowhere close to my peers when it comes to reading.

Your comment just made me realize that there will likely be a moment in my life when I find out that Michael Stevens has died. This makes me immensely sad. I love the man. He's been hugely influential in my life, and I never even considered until now that he is a mortal human, just like the rest of us. Gotta cherish him while I can...

[@aiaioioi]

also it's crazy for me how he's only in his 30s, i always assumed he was a lot older, like in his 50s already (not necessarily because of his appearance but mostly because of how he speaks)

[@SatanSupimpa]

I still have a very difficult time to accept I'm only a year younger than Michael. He has too much of a father figure vibes to only be in his 30's.

Michael really commands a room, at 14:38 he appears in frame cross-legged on the couch and within the next 30 seconds everyone else follows suit. I wonder about the psychology behind it or if it’s just coincidence.

[@nathanmayer4294]

I saw that and it blew my mind lol. I know people engaged in a conversation tend to mirror body language, but this was super fast haha.

[@ThatGuy-hu9mt]

Body language mirroring due to respect and interest in a person, and eventually due to mimicking the populace

[@Zillano]

Respect most likely, michael is insanely well spoken and can really just keep people feeling included. Once you do you usually don't wanna be the odd one out. Thanks for picking it out!

[@AlexanderSama]

That's also recommended when you're conducting an interview and the intention is to make the guest comfortable, but yeah, most likely the guys did it out of respect. Many of us could be mirroring their posture while watching the video which is even crazier.

I never really noticed, but Vsauce rarely uses filler words. No "um, ah, like" etc. Hes super well spoken overall. This was a such a good friggin episode, the whole conversation was so entertaining 👌

[@damascussteel7688]

A common "trick" that good speakers use is replacing their ums ahs and likes with pauses

[@Geordiecrafts]

@@damascussteel7688 yeah I can only do it when I have a formal speech prepared. When I'm just in regular conversation I use so many filler words it's awful 😭. I never notice I'm doing it until I hear a playback

[@BlueBloxRoblox]

What about pauses?

[@leventeszabo690]

​@@Geordiecraftssince he does youtube videos for a living, he has many hours of experience of trying not to use filler words. You could do that with speaking to yourself, or maybe even using omegle or such and trying your best not to use filler words. It is very easy, just takes some mental effort at the start

[@stardustpan]

Those are just a part of how language works and they have their purpose in communication so theyre not inherently bad or wrong :> I think people notice it more when it's a presentation or something where it's an unnatural situation where the fills we use to organise conversation aren't as useful when there's no one talking with you

[@dapz]

22:45 this “finding” effect is something I’ve experienced first hand. Way back in late may/early June of 2021, I told a couple friends to post memes about me (my YT channel) but explicitly told them to make it seem like they found me, and to not make any mention at all of them having any personal relation to me. They ALL got several thousand upvotes, and kickstarted the growth of my channel.

[@chadd990]

I've also learned a lot from youtubers like Michael. I've probably learned more on youtube as an adult than I did in all of highschool. Just be careful though, it's really easy to learn false information, and to not even know how much you don't know.

[@noodlelynoodle.]

@@chadd990 Same here, KZbin is really a big part of me realizing there was so much you can learn on the internet that could take up an entire degree at a college but for free and at your own pace and not just memorizing things to be able to pass a test at the end. Like I definitely feel like I've learned more from KZbin and the internet in general than throughout school and even the stuff I'll never apply from various sciences or other obscure stuff it feels so much more relevant to the current day and to life than the way things are taught in school where it's basically the same thing they teach year after year with only a few changes here and there

[@demekagamine]

Much like William with eatable vs edible, I have a sorta similar view with alone vs lonely. Not sure if its an original take. Alone is physical, lonely is mental. Loneliness and being alone can correlate and/or be related. Take a happy hermit of a woodsman and throw them in the middle of the forest by themselves. They will be all alone but not necessarily feeling lonely and at a party you can be surrounded by dozens of people and still feel lonely despite not being physically alone.

[@BlueScreenCorp]

As a father with a pre-verbal child, I cherish the thought of having Michael like moments bed time bonding with my daughter

[@Meow_Zedong]

Michael really nailed what I've gotten most out of YT over the years at 9:00 I lived very sheltered life growing up and I don't go out much now from some pretty bad depression issues, but KZbin has kept me from completely mentally stagnating. I've learned so much more useful information on KZbin than I ever learned in high school, although the formal education created a good foundation for that learning

As someone who has a family history and had second hand experiences with dementia, it absolutely terrifies me. They just forget, and then never remember. They become a husk of their former self, slowly but surely forgetting everything they once knew and loved. I had gotten a nightmare over a decade ago, that still sticks with me to this day. It is a fear that I will never escape. It is absolutely impossible to escape it, because I might possibly have already experienced its effects hundreds of times. I just suddenly forget what I'm doing while I'm in the process of doing it. I'll think of what to say or write, and then poof. What I wanted to say never existed, only a feeling and the before and after of it.

That's kind of funny that Michael details that example about "why are we putting so much protection and police presence around someone we're ultimately going to sentence?" and then says "I will immediately cross a topic off my list if there's a twitter thread about it" because there are many, MANY twitter threads about exactly that illogical, overly policed/protected but ultimately vulnerable and discarded treatment of incarcerated people. (But I really like that that's how he approaches his vid topics and he has given me much to think about over the years because he intentionally explores the unexplored! Love this episode.)

I think it’s disgusting how every single thing I absolutely love about the internet is in this podcast
