This is my favorite video by Vsauce, the introduction leading into the topic is brilliant and seem mostly unrelated like most other videos, but the ending looping back to intro giving it its possible true and deeper meaning.

[@savio9918]

I love to find little details that he puts on the videos as well. For example, at the beginning of the video he appears on the "yang" side of the taijitu, because it is often associated with, among other things, "masculinity" or "maleness". Also there's the pictures at 3:45 and at 8:51 that resembles a taijitu as well.
