I forget his name, but in the 1920s the Canadian government asked a guy to do a report on the residential schools after some complaints. They chose a super hardcore anti-indigenous politician to ensure it would be positive. His ensuing report said the residential schools were a crime against humanity. This led to minor reforms in 1929 but the system continued to get worse.

I think she'd be really, really disappointed in you, actually. The neural network research the 2024 Nobel price in physics was awarded for has nothing to do with the Generative AI that people have chosen to lens the culture war through. If you think Dr Colier would resent it because she has rightly criticised the ridiculous use cases finance bros try do dream up for Generative AI, you're just expressing a total lack of familiarity with the actual science these things are built with. Neural Networks are amazing machines you can do genuinely amazing things with. Hopfield and Hinton did great work. You should be ashamed for lumping them in with Silicon Valley hype-men through nothing but your own horrific, all-consuming ignorance.

Edit: Wrote that just before the credits and im glad that you also mentioned the disgrace that is the current state of healthcare and insulin prices.

I knew WIllard Libby's stepson, and he told me that Libby, who got the Nobel Prize for Carbon-14 dating told him that one doesn't get the Nobel Prize for significantly advancing science. He said you get it for first making an advancement, then spending years shoving it down the throat of each and every naysayer who disputes it until they give up and award you the prize. Fortunately for Libby he was an ornery cuss who enjoyed doing just that. The person I've always felt deserved the Prize who never got it was George Gamow. He was in the middle of 3 major advancements in physics that received Nobel prizes, but he wasn't one of the recipients.

In my case, although not claiming the full prize but recognising I'd made the difference in winning it, it reached me through the Press release which explained it was awarded to the EU and its forerunners (us lot in WEU). As I explained elsewhere here, although WEU was defunct and could not be honoured, we were not, so the mention had to be made. Among my better moments was the completion of Gandhi's unfinished business, facilitated because my mother was PA to his High Commissioner Krishna Mennon here in London in 1946-7, and placing him among the unnamed forerunners. Righting that wrong made it impossible to deny my work, as he'd doubtless have wished. Nobody else was involved other than my interlocutors, and the complete work involved a degree of numinous alignment which has helped make it mature over the last quarter century until the other antagonist realised the reality was peace had happened unexpectedly.

I'm a type 1 diabetic diagnosed at 28. From my understanding, you can have a genetic predisposition to develop type 1, but genetics alone don't cause type 1. Type 1 has to be triggered by a virus that looks enough like your beta cells for your immune system to confuse your beta cells for the virus. For me it was probably covid, since I developed Type 1 within a year after I first got covid. And that's all according to my endocrinologist. Usually a virus during childhood is the trigger, but I guess us adult type 1s are either less sensitive to the virus trigger, or haven’t had a virus that confused the immune system enough to trigger beta cell antibodies until later in life. Anyways thanks for the video! Thoroughly disgusted about the history but also grateful to be alive in 2024 and not 1924.

Re: Canada - It didn't stop in 1996, it just transitioned to a different form. Starting in mid-20th century, the residential school system began to be replaced by the child welfare system, where instead of the police kidnapping children and sending them to be abused by nuns and priests, social workers started kidnapping indigenous children purely on the basis of the indigeneity of their parents, and sending them far away from their communities to be abused by non-indigenous caregivers. This is commonly known as the 60's Scoop, and the federal government formally apologized for it in 2008. Except it didn't end in 2008, let alone in the 60's. There are more indigenous children in care of the Canadian state today than there were at the height of the residential school system. The indigenous people I know refer to this as "the millennial scoop." Part of how this happens is a practice called "birth alerts" (duckduckgo it) where hospitals have a policy of immediately informing the local children's aid society any time a child is born to an indigenous parent, as if being indigenous alone was grounds for suspected child abuse. Most provinces (with the notable exception of Quebec) officially ended birth alerts on paper between 2019 and 2021, but a lot of hospitals still practice it as unofficial policy to this day.

I think your arguments about how the Nobel prize works and how limited it is, how they don't have to be the best etc are extremely valid. For people who are in the field, that's pretty obvious. The issue is, that for the public audience that isn't obvious at all unfortunately. Which brings a big problem of trust, misbelief or misunderstanding. A lot of these people still believe that Nobel prize winners are the best of the best and therefore can't be criticized. This sometimes even seeps into the science community. Which makes it hard to discuss certain topics at all. Even when other people are far more knowledgeable and experienced in certain topics.

At one hour mark: This is one the most interesting aspects of science to me, it's built on a collaborative effort, and there are some moments a few inventions and discoveries that will simply happen because all the ground work has been done in the past collaboratively by a host of people, so we end up with several people working on the same project at around the same time, even if later on we end up remembering only the first, or the one that was more famous or rich to get their ideas across. A classic example is calculus, Leibniz and Newton weren't divining, they built upon Descartes, Kepler, Napier, etc. Cayley's work on the physics of aeroplane led to several people independently inventing aeroplanes continents apart in a very short span of time. Science is not built by great men sprinkled through history whose singular ingenuity single-handedly pushes humanity forth, but a bunch of people iteratively building upon the work of those who came before and alongside them, approaching problems with a diversity of perspectives that, in due time, lead to not just breakthroughs but the pieces of the puzzles that those who come after them will use to develop the collection of human knowledge even further.

The 2023 Covid example is a tiny bit misleading. Their work to develop mRNA based vaccines happened in the 90s and early 2000s. The impact of their work became enormous when Covid mRNA vaccines could be developed faster than vaccines had ever before. So their work had already been "proven" and awarding it to them in 2023 was quite safe. I say this to point out they were awarded for years/decades of work (not the days/weeks it took to develop the Covid vaccines)!

The story with Dr. John Nash is even MORE interesting than 'A Beautiful Mind' portrays. They made that movie WAY too early. Dr. Nash was full-blown incoherent 'insane'. They were charitable in the movie, in reality he was very, very bad off. But, and I swear that this is entirely true, he... thought himself into sanity. He decided to start rationally checking the things the intrusive thoughts and voices he heard were saying. And he found out, no, alien CIA agents had not implanted radios in his teeth to mind control him. He did this repeatedly, and came to the conclusion that the voices and intrusive thoughts were an unreliable source of information, and so he resolved to reject them. And... it worked. He was able to leave the institution he had been confined in for years, return home, return to teaching, and was able to accept the Nobel prize for inventing game theory. You mentioned the Nobel prize being given for the COVID vaccine. What it was actually given for was for the use of mRNA for vaccines. That is way bigger and a fundamental giant leap. Dr. Kariko deserved that Nobel and I would have cut somebody if she didn't get it. She had been telling people that mRNA could be used to create vaccines for years and years - and people laughed at her. It screwed up her career, cost her jobs, but she stuck with it. 'Everybody else' was saying mRNA was too fragile, and there would never be a way to make it stable enough to last even a few minutes, let alone long enough to be integrated into a manufactured vaccine. It was a fair point, as in the lab mRNA is so unstable and fragile that it just falls apart without you even disturbing it. Which makes sense, they're just temporary little molecules that get sent from one part of a cell to another part to send a message, and they only need to stay stable for fractions of a second in a cell. But she did all the legwork. She knew it could be made to work. She cracked challenge after challenge like the BAMF she is. She found a compatriot in Dr. Weissman, the other recipient of the Nobel, and we eventually ended up with the ability to make vaccines that are basically just guaranteed to be safe (remember how mRNA is crazy fragile? That means it doesn't even stick around long enough to so anything at all aside from pissing off your immune system). AND we can basically just... print it. For more 'traditional' vaccines manufacturing is a huge pain, they have to culture virus, growing it in chicken eggs, harvesting it, doing stuff to inactivate or kill it, then get it into a form that'll be stable, then do tons of additional testing to make sure its not accidentally infectious, just all kinds of stuff that simply isn't necessary with mRNA. The COVID vaccine is only the beginning for mRNA. As Nobel-worthy as anything I've ever learned about.

I feel like it should be mentioned that the US had very similar "boarding schools" to our Canadian "residential schools" until 1968. It should also be mentioned that even though the residential schools are now closed, Indigenous genocide still continues in Canada (and the US, though I'm less familiar with your particulars). In Canada, Indigenous people are 5% of the population and yet 32% of our prison population (and rising rapidly, by 40% just between 2008 and 2018 (also, Indigenous women are even more overrepresented, at a full 50% of our female prison population)), as a continuation of such strategies as the "Sixties Scoop" (kidnapping Indigenous children en masse into the foster care system (which itself is seeing a resurgence at the moment despite legislation in the 80s that was supposed to end the practice)) and residential schools to separate families and thereby destroy national patterns. Then there's the criminal underfunding of reserves and their infrastructure to the point that most suffer regular 'boil water' advisories (which causes crime which creates justification for all these other strategies). Then there are the "starlight tours", a practice where police arrest Indigenous people in the winter and drive them out to remote locations where they are left to freeze to death. Much as we in Canada take great pride in being nicer than Americans, at best we're half a second behind on the doomsday clock. We're even losing our publically funded healthcare, with two provinces rapidly privatizing and several others looking to follow suit.

The most interesting thing about the Nobel Prize is reading the journalistic summary of what those works entailed and what the actual award was given for specifically. Knowing the topic will induce the harshest cringe to see the essence of the idea and work, broken down, nay, butchered like that. Reading or listening to the summaries of other fields will yet make you go "Yeah I got it, well everyone knows that, well it´s so simple even I could have figured that out." A joyous rollercoaster every year. Favourite time of the year to listen in on conversations of other people in public transport as well.

What a coincidence! On my visit to the hospital, this morning, I passed a statue of Egas Moniz - the Portuguese physician who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1949. His contribution? The leucotomy - a precursor to the lobotomy, from my limited understanding. (I am not a medical doctor either; I went there as a patient and no, to my great disappointment, I didn't get the lobotomy I've been craving.)

Thank you for continuing to be the only channel on KZbin that explains things in a detailed and reasonable manner. As far as science goes it's pretty bleak out there. Lots of "misconceptions" but mostly outright misinformation. I'm type 1 diabetic. It's extremely complicated. You wouldn't believe how complicated. Doctors and endocrinologists barely understand it. It's a living hell. When I was diagnosed my blood sugar was 1100. I've suffered seizures and ketoacidosis and a host of other symptoms but I've had major improvements so hopefully my organs will last a little bit longer. You probably won't be surprised that people blame me for having type 1 diabetes and have no problem explaining to me how it's my fault. You probably also won't be surprised that I don't associate with people anymore. Nobody. Never again.

The residential school system also existed in the US. It is also happening right now in India with tribal children.

I'm 69 and I was drawn into science fiction as a grade school student. One of the many reasons SF appealed to me was that science and facts and reason seemed to be such a crystal clear approach to how life should work. It is truly sad that I as i aged it became apparent that this does not happen. There are a small number of humans whose philosophy, if it can be called that, is that fact and reason and science area obstacles to overcome. I suppose I've become more cynical as I've aged. Although, in my more humorous moments, I like to think if cynicism as pattern recognition. I do enjoy your careful and thoughtful approach in your videos. Keep it up.

My wife has type 1 diabetes and severe insulin resistance so she needs more than usual for it to be effective. Thankfully my job provides insurance that covers this for us but I've seen the out of pocket cost and its higher than my mortgage payments.

Thank you Angela. I love your videos, they're entertaining in many ways. Today I laughed, I almost cried and went really angry at the end. You became my favorite science communicator in KZbin.

I appreciate that you used less cuts with jarring music during your talking. I've elevated your channel to one I can listen to while falling asleep and I like it when it is just you talking, without the video cuts with music. With my eyes closed I will miss whatever you put on-screen during the cuts anyway. I think you have something here and there are a lot of people listening to physics channels who want to fall asleep to them. Keeping that away from the end of your videos is great also. Thank you!

As soon as you started telling that story I was like "oh no, she brings it up because it's probably not true"
