Kevin, this is honestly my favorite video you have made thus far. Loved the narrative structure and thought you used the MET (and their collections) incredibly well. Plus, the montage of Vsauce viewer collections was RAD!

On a side note, collecting can also be a form of memory retrieval. I associate certain memories with particular objects, specifically stuffed animals. I can remember who gave them to me, or particular games I played with them when I was a child. That collection is safely in a rubbermaid tub now, and I've moved onto semi precious rocks. But the same principal applies. I could tell you where I got every rock in my house and I make a point of collecting a new one when I go on trips and such. My friend went to india and brought me back a rock me dug out of the earth for me. So yea, that is another reason people collect.

Wonderful video. I can't say I've known a person who doesn't collect something (and I've known homeless people). I've only, personally witnessed one hoarder. They had newspapers mostly, several parrots and dogs, mice (I'm pretty sure that was a byproduct of the clutter.) I was installing cable at the time. The stacks of newspaper were all waist high and created a labyrinth throughout the home. They were proud of their collection and tried to share with me, but I was working 16 hrs a day, six days a week and didn't have time to appreciate their passion, unfortunately. I'm sure any person with such a specified passion can embue a wealth of knowledge pretty quickly. My loss.

I'm a lot like Burdick, I'm not so much a collector, though, as I am someone whose creating a collection. I feel a desperate need to create, art, sculpture, games, animations, I want to make a collection of things great enough to leave some positive impact on the world, and , like Burdick, I find myself hindered by the pain in my hands, and my own disabilities. To know that someone facing similar obstacles could be remembered in such a way is so incredibly inspirational. Thank you so much for this video,. It doesn't make what i'm doing easier but, it makes it feel that much more worth it.

You should do a video about essentialism - the reason an X-Ray of Elvis sells for $3500, but even a perfect copy is worthless. It deserves your explanation and philosophical analysis. I would actually personally be very pleased if you did such a video and also touched on the idea of collection of digital 'objects' because I find it fascinating. At first blush, the concept seems inane, as there is no 'essential' or 'original' combination of bits, and they can be duplicated and spread around with nearly zero effort as perfect copies, and even if I did obtain a 'valuable' set of bits, I would create and move around copies, destroying any 'essential' value. They are inherently only a big number. And yet, if a digital copy of, say, a recording of Kurt Cobain singing 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' for the very first time, existed on my computers hard drive, and no other versions exist, it would be valuable. No one could reproduce it, even if given infinite time and infinite resources aside from knowing what the big number is. And once the last copy was deleted, it would be impossible to reproduce at all. An infinite computer given infinite time could generate the number, sure, but it could not distinguish it from any other number and say 'this one is certainly the recording being sought'.

This, to my opinion, is one of the better video's on this website. Not only am I a collector myself, but found some slight reasoning to acts I could not explain myself doing up till now. funny how simple some things might seem after someone explains it, simply by showing a different direction. Combine that with excelent storytelling and a very nice montage to top it all off in the end and I suddenly realise again why Vsauce 1, 2, 3 have never left my subscriptions. Sometimes I wish I could leave more than just a like though, especially with inspirational and even slightly comforting pieces of video art like this. Please keep up this kind of work. ;) And as a collector: Thanks for the professional insight into collecting.

It started as a simple game: I always said friends and customers "You can call me 'Grizzly', but it's up to you understanding if I'm a ferocious bear or a tiny smiling teddy". Turns out someone decided to gift me a little teddybear for this, and I started keeping them on a shelf. Then I did a couple of big works (a little bbs software in the past and a couple of self-pubblished books) asking to send me a teddybear as a sign of appreciation of my work. Now it's still growing ;)

Collecting originating from out nature could be argue in a sense that why we collect today is not for self-love as animals would do in order to survive but rather out of desires. This is a result from intelligence where recognition of the "self" and others lead males us what to stand out from the rest of the crowd. If look for the piece from Plato about poets and artist then it might be more clearer what I'm saying. (°♡°)

Very well done Kevin! I'm not a collector of any kind but I think I can relate to how collected items throughout our lifetime shapes our identity. Looking back at my old toys (I was particularly a huge fan of Pokemon card when I was a young boy), I feel a huge sense of nostalgia and I wouldn't want to lose the things that I've collected and grown up with. You can even say that most of us have a mild degree of Hoarding disorder, especially with things we can never buy back with money. The same psychology in collecting different items can be observed in artists, as each masterpiece can only satisfy them for so long until they have the urge to create another one, an endless feast on the food for our soul.

You made me feel so sentimental about my many half-formed collections. Shells, stones, coins (many coins), pokemon cards, yugioh cards, receipts (more like hoarding), cacti and carnivorous plants, folders, hard-back spiral-bound B5 size notebooks... I do gain comfort from controlling and organising a small part of a chaotic world. Thank you.

I knew I'd find some answers in this video. Thanks for the Freud and Jung part. It was a missing piece of puzzle for me to make sense of who I am. I see how certain events from when I was a fetus destined me to be the hoarder I am today. I used to run around the house with a big empty biscuits carton, and collect whatever man-made small objects I find. I later started collecting coins and stamps. I now collect many things. I can't easily let go of normal everyday things. I find sentimental meaning in every little insignificant thing. I reached the point where I materialise my thoughts, and I put each one of my thoughts in a written or recorded form and I save it somewhere safe. I'm trying to stop.
