“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.

[@Scotty-vs4lf]

[@KENNETHUDUT]

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. :/

"Just because you want to do something doesn't mean you like it" Being serious, would that also potentially explain why we can't stop playing a video game even if it's very frustrating?

[@lelcetz7628]

+RedRecon I want to stop if its frustrating See "ragequit."

[@gayfrog3102]

yEAH

[@Tijopi11]

+RedRecon I guess it would. I think that has a lot more to do with the reward system. 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.

[@chr13]

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.

I disagreed saying it was too disgusting and they'd waste their soda which just made them want more Once they realized I was trolling they weren't thrilled

The end part about the "Uh, oh. Mom got scared" theory reminds me of something one of my teachers said about being afraid of bugs.

slut4berniesanders Interesting...and what if parents pretended to be scared of say...a lamp? Could the child develop a fear of lamps?

[@gagecarson5673]

[@lemonadecupcakes]

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. It works wonders.

[@chosoistryinghisbest]

i guess morbid curiosity is the reason i like so many angst/hurt no comfort fics. its because they're not real that i can feel like it's me going through their pain because they're often experiencing things i've never felt before. i always felt bad for reading them because they're things i can't relate to and this is basically me feeling like i experienced them, so knowing that it's common for people to also like these things even if it hurts their feelings makes me feel a little better (???) because wow. i think i really like to hurt my own feelings. a lot. i mean of course i stopped reading just angst/hurt no comfort fics because eventually when that depressing content is all you consume, surprise to literally no one, you start to feel like shit. and i felt like shit so often even though my normal life was completely normal 💀 like looking at my life outside the fics, i was pretty happy lmaoo but yeah. lots of those fics were good, but i really had to take it back a notch when consuming hurt no comfort because they just started to make me feel miserable. which i think was pretty okay in small amounts, but definitely don't do what i did and consume only that. and not just hurt no comfort in fics, but also i was really into watching true crime. which in hindsight was kinda a bad idea because all those videos did was just kinda scare me even though i don't leave my house because i'm a high school student with all online work in a pandemic, so clearly i'm never in danger like these gruesome true crime cases.

*ITS MORBIN TIME*

[@jeremyandrews3292]

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?

that because you can't "fall" in lava, lava is too dense, at the very least you would just float getting you back of front burned until you pass out and die.
