“Compulsive behavior - just because you WANT to do something doesn’t mean you LIKE it”. Addiction in a nutshell. Very profound.

[@unocoltrane2804]

That was my first thought when he said that. It reminds me of being on the edge of a cliff or rooftop, or even when driving under a bridge. You don't like the idea of jumping or driving into the base of the bridge, but that dark part of your brain tries to weakly convince you to see what would happen.

[@RandomGuy-sm5by]

And the inverse is ADHD in a nutshell. Damn brain chemicals.

[@deleted-something]

Yes

[@jonathan13co]

I don't think this is a good analogy. Pretty much all addictions include the use of substances or doing acts that make us feel good. We like doing it. Addictions aren't compulsive - the addicted person may have a strong urge to do it, but it's not exactly against their will. It's hard to explain, but basically - even if the person wants to halt his/her addiction, its not because its not enjoyable, its because he/she becomes aware it comes at the expense of other, more important things.

He covers a lot of territory in a very short time. He educates thousands of people - many of them are trapped in schools that are stuck with limited textbooks and teachers who have to get them ready to pass the next standardized test. Not their fault; its part of their job. VSauce and those like him are giving the kids and teens of today the education they *deserve* to get, not the crappy, purposely confusing way they do things in schools. (hear that Common Core (USA) - ugh). The kids growing up on KZbin will revolutionize the next generation after them; thanks to the pioneering efforts of people like this awesome guy. Thanks man.

[@CFHMetalHeadCFH]

It's sad but %100 true. If you could get an education like this in school, don't you think kids would actually like going? The internet as a whole will revolutionize the way the truly curious minds learn. I would have to disagree on the point about it not being the teachers fault though, they use so many excuses to dodge a very simple solution, talk to your students. That's it, that's all they have to do, share your experiences on this earth with those who have had less time on it, tell them life lessons, research things you don't have the answers to. Make a real human connection with the young minds you spend so much time with, don't let anymore children (or teenagers) fall through the cracks because you don't have an original thought beyond what's inked in the pages of a text book

[@KENNETHUDUT]

ChoppedInHalf It's true; and you're right. Having to 'teach to the test' *does* make their jobs harder - but - IT'S their JOB. Inbetween having to teach-to-the-tests, there ought to be plenty of time for actual teaching. We need fewer negative control-freaks as teachers and more innovative, creative teachers who actually *listen* and try... who connect. The set up of the school systems is hard enough for everybody; students, teachers, administrators; they all have a sucky time navigating the system properly. But it's the interface between the teacher and student that's most important; if that's mishandled, well, it makes the whole cruddy system it works within entirely useless. Yeah. I shouldn't make excuses for teachers; it's their job to follow the orders of higher ups, but their PASSION should be to utilize creativity - rather than killing it in order to save their jobs. :/

You crave the rewarding release of passing a difficult level, so you'll repeatedly go through it again just for the sake of winning it- not even because you like the game itself. Not a proven fact, just my theory. It might also have something to do with your desire to finish things. You'll naturally want to finish things like finishing a song, or thinking up another fact so you have three facts in total to support your case. The brain will naturally desire closure, so you'll want to finish the level and THEN quit. Quitting in the middle would be irritating.

The thing about children and parents is true. Kids who have a hard time detaching from parents at school are normally the ones who have parents that show anxiety and guilt about the child being there and the parent working. It often has no relation to the child's own opinion of going to school. I've had to tell parents (when asked) to act like taking the kid to school is a fun, good thing to get excited about.

People once watched public executions and battles in the Colosseum. How many would still watch them if it were allowed? I sometimes think that violent movies and football are synthetic, civilized substitutes for the forms of entertainment we've left behind. And for hunters that go out and kill wild animals, even that's not enough. I think to an extent, humans are naturally violent and are suited to societies where warfare, violence, and execution take place. I sometimes wonder if some of the serial killers are just people with stronger violent impulses than the rest of us, for whom a civilized, peaceful society makes them crazy (where most of us are happy to have the freedom from fear and aggression of the past). Would they have had a place in an ancient society as something like a gladiator or executioner? Hard to say. I don't like what such an idea says about humanity, but I find myself wondering if that's why such people continue to be born and commit these kind of crimes.

[@breannamay8800]

All it says about humanity is that we've evolved and found a healthy way to deal with out aggression. Serial killers are not a good way to judge humanity, as they are not normal. They have underdeveloped emotions, and don't have empathy. Empathy is part of humanity, just like aggression, so people who don't have empathy are not a good way to look at humanity.

[@TheRABIDdude]

I've never understood the whole "psychopaths don't have empathy" thing; If they can't comprehend what the other person is feeling, then why would it bring them pleasure to hurt them? Surely if they think pain is fun or satisfying, then to enjoy someone else's requires at least some empathy?

The beginning reminds me of the Mindfield episode "The Greater Good" where Michael didn't want to cause trauma in an experiment about the Trolley Problem. But I actually came here because of his TED talk "Why do we ask questions?". I thought to myself that we want to know things because we need to know them (to do something) or because we're interested. Of course curiosity helps us find out things that could be useful in the future, but humans are also interested in facts and topics that they already know and they know it's aren't useful to know that. So I thought *it would be interesting to find out why things are interesting* and why every human has individual interests. According to Wikipedia psychologists actually think about interests, but it seems like there's no Vsauce video about that yet. And as always, thanks for reading.

Vsauce, I also glad you posted a video today. I have a ton of homework and I just fell a sleep a few minutes ago. I don't know if everybody has this but when I sleep in the day I start to feel sick, dizzy, and like a wave of some kind of fizz has filled my body. I couldn't get my homework done or even eat in the state I was, so I hope one KZbin video would do anything from wake me up to curing my symptoms. Thankfully one of your videos was on. Your videos are the perfect for this situation because it makes me wakeup (for some reason curing the rest of my problems) and at the same time it gets me wanting to think and work. Thx Vsauce

It doesn't happen often, but after viewing shock images in the past (and recently) I see things I really wish I didn't. Even minor things like putting on shampoo sometimes can be terrifying. My brain projects horrible images like of shotgun suicides done in bathtubs for example. Then I forcibly open my eyes suffering through the burning sensation of the shampoo over them. I've also slept with the lights on and feel downright pathetic about doing so. Unless I got to bed with a clear mind and a good mood I constantly see these things in my head. Am I weird or does this happen to others?

This also made me realize something about myself. I hate needles. Bordering on a phobia? I feel sick to my stomach and have to mentally prepare for the blood draw or a shot. It's an ordeal. But, apparently curiously so, I absolutely *have to watch* everything go down. The needle come unwrapped, the alcohol swab, and most importantly, the stick itself. The nurses always say "oh just look away" and I'm like absolutely not. I need to look. Because at least then I feel like I have some sort of control over the situation. It's almost like if I don't look, and I don't know when precisely the stick happens, only then is it being done to me. But if I watch it closely, that means I can feel like I fully consent, and that I am part of the process. Maybe it's not a fear of the needle, but a fear of not having control over my own body? The might be part it as well. But mainly, it appears that the web of reasoning that makes up morbid curiosity holds the explanation.

I have an on topic story about a macabre friend of mine. Note her favourite movie at 2 years old was the original chainsaw massacre and nightmare on elm street were some of her childhood favorites. In school we were supposed to write a paper on phobias, she chose necrophobia, the fear of dead bodies. While googling information she accidentally clicked on necrophilia and was curious so just ended up looking at the images instead. The teacher noticed and just like Michael said, thought she liked it or was into it. Ugh it was hilarious the way he asked "You're not... not into that, are you?" She said "No, no. LOL." And just as he was walking away she apparently couldn't resist the urge to say "Some people do it to babies." Only so he could just hear it. I don't think he knew how to react, he just walked away. I think it must have been confusing considering she was the only person to write him a very kind Christmas card thanking him for being a good teacher that year.

Something I would like to know about that first study mentioned is how they convinced 2/3 of the subjects to cut the head off. I'm not necessarily saying it's not pertinent to curiosity study, however I think that study exposes the power of authority and authoritative pressure. I wonder if they told them its for science or they signed something requiring them to do it, because like Micheal said most refused initially. They weren't initially curious, which is why I think the motivation technique used is important.
