science saved my soul

i liked his delivery, even if he didnt say anything particularly profound. and adagio in d minor is popping up everywhere these days!

nice video. Its good to put things in perspective every once in awhile. Appreciate the arcade fire song at the end as well.

Quite a good watch, I loved the quirky humour.

That sounds like a cool religion. Where do I sign up?

That's awesome. I'm angry that I'm born at this time when there's SO MANY religious people out there wasting their time on trying to save themselves when they should be finding cures to diseases and researching more depth into the Universe.

Sounds like a douche, I mean, who stands outside that long smoking before looking up, when its pitch black?
If he listens to science so much why hasn't he stopped smoking?

Delivery like this should be mandatory in every science classroom around the world.

No, no it shouldn't.

And phosphorus and nitrogen and calcium and manganese and selenium and iron...

Originally posted by MrJiveBoJingles Fifty million years lay under my feet, fifty million years of bellowing monsters moving in a green world now gone so utterly that its very light was traveling on the farther edge of space. The chemicals of all that vanished age lay about me in the ground. The iron did not remember the blood it had once moved within, the phosphorus had forgot the savage brain. I had lifted up a fistful of the ground and held it while that wild flight of southbound warblers hurled over me into the oncoming dark. There went phosphorus, there went iron, there went carbon, there beat the calcium in those hurrying wings. Alone on a dead planet I watch that incredible miracle speeding past. It ran by some true compass over field and wasteland. It cried its individual ecstasies into the air until the gullies rang. It swerved like a single body. It knew itself, and lonely, it bunched close in the racing darkness, its individual entities feeling about them in the rising night. And so, crying out to each other their identity, they passed away out of my view. - Loren Eiseley, The Unexpected Universe

Originally posted by Kenny Rogers correct. you have to look at things in perspective, all of those added is less than 1% aka neglectable. we are suger basically.

Well, without those elements we would just be sugary water. So they are pretty important.

Because smoking enjoyable and since he's very likely not a mindless twit who thinks everything will be hunky dory in the afterlife, he lives his life by doing what brings him pleasure. If that pleasure brings him closer to an end then you know what, maybe he's just fine with that. He very likely figures the end is the end, so he might as well do what he likes now.

a little too grandiose for my liking. knowledge or lack there of doesn't impact your happiness as he suggested. you could think the world is flat and believe in god and still be happy. look at animals they seem to do fine without understanding the grand scheme of the universe. I would also like to point out shit is also made of star dust.

Yet our countrymen are rejecting these extraneous elements in an ever-increasing rate!

So much bullshit. We're all imbued with an amount of knowledge that seeks only to further itself- almost every human pursuit has been in correspondence with this, even if it is what we think is 'divine' knowledge. Ignorance is not happiness unless there is something severely deficient with you.

Gee I hope this turns into a debate on the definition of happiness.

I hope so.

Any studies proving a correlation between knowledge and happiness? Scientists must be the happiest people in the world.

too easy emo hal (i mean just look at yourself)

Is that terribly deviant from the essence of the original post's video?

And IGK, why don't you humour me. It would be the first time some humour came from you.

then we can have a cool chart posted that plots the progress of the discussion..like this one.

That chart is conspicuously missing a portion where System-J submits an immense essay on how Halo changed the face of console gaming shooters called Halo.
