Then I have to ask how you missed several minutes of the video prior to that discussing how raccoons learned to work several different types of locks, and remembered how they worked without any loss of skill when tested again a year later. Somehow you missed all of that, and jumped to "hurr durr, they turned over a vase!"?

Yo have to understand that if it's not a video about racial IQ differences with clear bias, or a video talking about white superiority, you're not going to get good responses here. There is a reason why there's an IQ, race thread on every page. That said, I do like Kurzgesagt videos, but they should be taken with a grain of salt and most of the time you should look for more information if the topic interests you

I doubt In A Nutshell intends people to get their actual learning from their videos, of which are basically introductions on the subjects they discuss and going over various debates and arguments that have been going on. If you're using In A Nutshell as a primary source for learning shit you're a mong.

i appreciate how much effort kurzgesagt puts into their videos and the mission they pursue, and some of the video soundtracks are real bangers, but i cant help but think that pop science doesnt need to exist. it has no inherent value, for anybody. maybe entertainment.
in an ideal world, people would educate themselves on a wide variety of topics so that they could pull from a broad pool of knowledge when confronted with something unfamiliar and draw conclusions for themselves instead of having pre-constructed opinions breastfed to them. However, people are preocuppied with such important things as keeping up with the 24 hour news cycle and consuming information-free media. Pop science (nobly) tries to bridge this gap by creating information free science media. This creates problems everybody on this board is familiar with: people thinking they are an expert after watching a TED talk, overhyping small discoveries to generate clicks thus diluting public conciousness on what is actually happening in the field, et cetera. The world has become way too big for a run of the mill mind to be able to stay reasonably literate while slaving away for the Machine, and this inertia can be exploited really easily by people who wish to influence public opinion. Democracy as we understand it is incompatible with the attention economy.

[Anonymous No.11894507]

>>11894478
>pop science doesnt need to exist. it has no inherent value, for anybody.
The idea is that scientists are paid for by public money and if we're not able to convey to the public what we're doing with their money, then we're nothing but prophets. That's why pop-sci exists and why it should exist.
I agree it needs to be better though.

[Anonymous No.11894542]

>>11894507
Yeah youre right there - what pop science tries to be is a good thing. I was referring to how it plays out in the real world.
But i think a lot of modern science is so on the edge and beyond everyday life that you cant really distill it into a cutesy cartoon without simplifying to a point where the vast majority of information is lost.
Every normie (mentally, not socially) i know IRL thinks mathematics is a solved science because pop science fails to communicate whats actually happenening. On the other side of the coin, where Pop sci overrepresents, like in genetic engineering, they think we are way more advanced than we actually are.
pop science could be much more effecitve if people were all around more literate. that would solve a lot of problems...

[Anonymous No.11894571]

The only point of fagzgetsuckt is to introduce a topic in the most broad sense as possible, but to make you feel like you are an expert about it when you're done. Gets the low iq's every time.

Pop sci is useful for exposing people to science so that they become interested in things. This is especially true for kids.
I used to watch space documentaries and read popular science as a kid and it left an impression on me.

[Anonymous No.11896154]

>>11893475
Exactly!
It's pop science, which means it has no intention to inform only to entertain.
If it actually tried to inform 99% of people would close the video within the first 5 minutes.

Of you want to learn you need to read books or watch lectures.

[Anonymous No.11896177]

>>11894478
I think that pop science has reason to exist in a "scientific" society such as ours.

The issue is that it has an inherent tendency towards the atrocious. Good pop science would be a two hour lecture which forces the audience to engage with actual science, where they are forced to evaluate the uncertainty and limitations of the field and actually understand the issues which are being faced by scientists.
The issue is that this is very hard to do, as you need *actual scientists* AND NOT JOURNALISTS to do this and it also is far less appealing to zoomers with 5 minute attention spans.

Taking machine learning as an example, it is very easy to present "X cool thing you can do with it", but there is absolutely zero educational value in that. What is much harder, but *actually important* is to give people a basic sense for how machine learning works and where it's limitations currently are, but that is very hard...
Especially as it involves mathematics and I don't think society will be actually able to admit that serious mathematical education, like it is happening in Asian countries is *very* important if you care about scientific progress.

With this discussions I am always reminded of a boomer politician, for whom "digitalization" meant strapping VR headsets to school children so even if they were poor they could see Versailles. That is exactly the retarded boomer attitude to science that does not work.

[Anonymous No.11896331]

It was pretty much just a worse version of their consciousness video.
The consciousness video was insightful, it explained how consciousness was an emergent property of natural selection since it's the result of many small, individually-beneficial changes.
This was just a directionless ramble.

Where do you think people begin to find interest in scientific topics? Do you think that the first spark of scientific interest for people is opening random textbooks or something? These videos are meant to introduce science to people, and getting people at least slightly scientifically literate is important. The fact that you don't find these videos interesting isn't the final say. Do you forget that the world isn't entirely composed of cynical basementdwellers posting on an Algerian IQ-bait board?

In slight defense, they did say that they regret making that video, and they removed it from their channel. They still make videos on topics similar, but they just give the data rather than drawing a conclusion from it and feeding it to the viewer.

Let me explain to you what ignorance is: Ignorance is not knowing that you don't know something.
If you don't even know that you should be asking a question, let alone what question to ask, you will remain ignorant forever.
Most people do. Popsci's purpose is to introduce ideas to people that never even knew they existed let alone how much there might be to learn.

Kurzgesagt source their videos (when applicable). I think a lot of people are against it just cause their videos supporting certain scientific positions which offend them.
The arguments Kurzgesagt makes are always sound (sans two removed videos which they made a video on why they removed them).
As such, people don't really attack the argument so much as flail about, like these two dullards.

Anon's should watch whatever vids seem neat and check out the sources to learn for themselves.
