HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH PLSSSSSSSSSSSSS I CANT THIS MADE ME WHEEZE-
14:52 I heard this story somewhere on the internet of a young person, who I think worked at some kind of retirement home, who was talking to a very elderly woman. The old woman asked the poster something like “do adults tell you about time before the internet, and how it’s dangerous? And how they didn’t have it back in their day?” The original poster, of course, responded yes. The old lady then responded with “that’s what my parents told me about electricity.” That may be my favourite example of these “illusions of time”. Me, writing this message on a computer that can fit in my pocket, could talk to someone who didn’t even have lightbulbs as a child.
To be fair, electricity universally expanded productivity. Most of our population is spending more than half of their free time hopelessly addicted to a dopamine button. People are still playing cause and effect on why society's overall intelligence is declining but... clearly occupying half our mental energy with Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and KZhead (a process that puts people in a dopamine deficit for the rest of the day which is directly tied to depleted motivation) is going to impact participation in challenging activities. "Electricity is the Devil" and "I am physically incapable of stopping myself from picking up my phone to check for notifications every 90 seconds"...
Very neat anecdote. I hate to be *that person*, but technically you could talk to the daughter of someone who didn't have a light bulb as a child
This is the Pinnacle of VSauce. Rewatch was even better. Michael, are you a philosopher poet? The team around you must also be amazing. Massive contributions to our time through your brilliant videos over the years. Wishing you the very best!

Theory: Michael shaves his beard right after he makes a video, and waits until it grows back to post another video.
Makes sense!
I buy it
Believable
He may have saved, and grown it back for each clip of this video.
All he has to do is flex his brain and he grows a new beard.

"Make some time for time to control you. Be bored, miss out, fall behind, lost track of time. While experiencing only what your body can alone. You might not have the time of your life, but you'll have more time of your life." this one really hit me
One of many illusions of time is that I could've sworn this video came out only 2 years ago
Everybody gangsta ‘til Michael invents his own scientific terms

At this point, I think he deserves it

Everyone: Where's Michael? Michael: Alright let's just shave my beard for a 30 second intro
He looks so much different without it.
Actually if you don't know He shave because of Mrbeast 2020 KZhead rewind There was a clip of Michael where he loses his face hairs.

Both this comment and the reply are wrong. He shaved his beard as part of a campaign to get people to register to vote. When 10,000 people registered to vote using his link, he shaved it.
@@ahuman._.4991 he actually shaved his hair months before that, they just added the clip to rewind. He put it on his channel D!NG in like August or something
I grew up in the 2000s and i lost my father a long time ago, and as a person in their 20s, i still feel like he's there with me whenever i see photos of him.
I've always been fascinated by the connection between our sense of smell and the triggering of memories. After my mother died ,I bought one of her favorite colognes just so smelling it would make me feel like she was there with me
I've found that smell can give really really vivid memories, like walking past someone and being able to smell that they wear the same perfume as a girl you used to go out with years ago, or smelling a clinical, hospital smell years after a grandparent or family member was in hospital, it puts you right back in that moment, and you smell it and instantly go "that's the smell from this place and this time"
My worst nightmare would be me standing in a dark place when suddenly I hear "Hey Vsauce, Michael Here...How fast can you run?"
Reminds me of a joke I made once where I ran at my friend and shouted “Hey, Vsauce, Michael here... how quick can I kill you?”
I would listen to him explaining how fast i can run..
Or can you

Part of the reason songs from the 90s don’t seem as old to us is because by the 90s recordings became so clear and well balanced they don’t sound (like they were recorded) much different than those of today. The recordings in the 60s sounded sounded very different from those in the 90s because the technology was so primitive.
He said that in the video too, through the examples of sephia and pixelated videos.
When I first tried VRChat I felt a strange sensation. Unlike the Internet VR gives presence: the feeling being in some space, a virtual space. And when you realise you share the space with people that live in actual reality far far far away from you, like thousand miles, it blows your mind. At least it does to mine. It's like finally experience what singularity does really mean, when a distance does not matter. But the time is not yet broken.
Michael is ridiculously gifted at presenting and explaining. He's an educational treasure.
I find it hard going myself despite his knack of communicating ideas simply but I'd like to try and come to grips with this kind of thinking. It takes time for the new concepts to sink in and become familiar
Not to mention his showmanship and artistic creativity.
And how can he learn so much in so little time
I like to think of michael as a modern day carl sagan, alan watts, bob ross.
no he is not
Protagonist syndrome is real. I remember asking my mom when I was seven or eight, "There's got to be only one *me* in the world, right?" referring to myself. Because I could only feel my own emotions and experiences and no one else's, I couldn't quite grasp at the time that other people also had subjective experiences.
I had the same feeling. Sometimes I get that feeling now.
Speaking of time, I'm new to this channel, and I'm disturbed by how much time has passed without my knowing such a brilliant youtuber exists.

Thats exactly what was going through my mind also, god damn we need vsauce now more than ever.
I just realized, in the time travel segment of the video, if people in the past viewed their present as a continuation of their past, then that explains why they had a tendency to scrap things that we today would've tried to desperately preserve in a museum, so many old locomotives, tanks, and cars were never preserved other than by photograph, and I always wondered why that was, but now that I understand their worldview on the present, it makes sense now that actively preserving the past is as recent of a trend as it. thank you Michael, you open my eyes to so many things I had only wondered about in passing
Can't say how many times I've had your channel recommended to me and just forgot to look it up but man this is an amazing rabbit hole of existentialism. Thanks for the good work bro

There's a 2014-born girl who I know personally. She entered the world a few short months after "Frozen" hit theaters. Even now, at age 18, I find it strange that I watched Frozen in theaters when I was a kid. In other words, I saw it in theaters when I was exactly her age.
Wow the audio in this one was stunning I'd love to see Michael make a museum, filled with objects both new and old, exiting stories, interesting facts, strange mental experiments and fascinating experiences. I'd especially love to have a room dedicated to these kinds of presentation, quick short bursts of content renewed monthly. Imagine getting completely immersed in one of these videos, in a dark room complete with high quality speakers, colored spotlights and a giant screen. That'd be an amazing experience for sure.

My sense of time is so fundamentally broken that this feels like a geometry lesson. Powerful hallucinogens can give you the impression of millennia in sequence, watching civilisations rise and fall. It's hard to keep track of what day or time it is - hard to remember ages, because I see people as a temporal spectrum constantly being re-expressed through a singular point, on a path that looks linear from the perspective of its own movement but is constantly forking out into various possibilities then collapsing into physical realities from an external view - more akin to a crystalline matrix than a straight line.
This doesn't mean that because there are infinite possibilities that there is a timeline in which you live forever - infinite numbers between 0 and 1 does not allow for a 2. As you age, the number of possibilities first increases and then decreases, until all timelines end with your perceptive existence of them (i.e. you die and your body ceases to act as a function of measurement to create time as a comparison of physical states between iterations of possibility [quantum state] and reality [how the quantum state collapses into a particular physical state])
The image of Michael shaved is so unnerving.
I am in a room. It is dark. I am tied to a chair and my hands are bound with rope. A small light flickers above me. I am hungry. When was the last time I ate? The small doorknob in the corner begins to twist. A door opens; my eyes flick up to meet him. It is none other than Michael Stevens, the host and owner Vsauce. I fill up with questions? Words clog my throat, thickening like honey, and as they smooth out and start to pour the words none can even come past my lips- Michael cuts me off. “I’ll be the one asking the questions.” He goes out of view, “where did he go?”, I wonder. There was a flash in front of me, revealing his face once more. He greeted me. “Hey Vsauce Michael here” my eyes wander and I become Starstruck, for right in front of me was Michael Stevens shirtless. He caressed my neckbeard slowly, he started rambling on. “Where are your fingers?” Sharpening his knife in a good ol’ pencil sharpener. He walks over to me, takes one look and says. “This is easier shirtless because dry cleaners ask questions about stains.” He starts tearing into my left thumb. Slowly chopping down, onto each finger. I was sweating so much that the aroma last nights Taco Bell was starting to fill the room. Unphased he says “Ya toes, hand ‘em over.” I stare into his eyes as he stares into mine. My eyes are filled with pleas for help, and his: lust. A lust which could not be satisfied by normal means. He demanded my toes again, but that were not satisfactory, for he wanted more. I had to get out, but I wanted to know more. My lust for knowledge grows ever greater with each passing second. Why was he doing this? Or rather why to me? I felt so helpless. I felt like I had been left alone in a sea or words, none of which I understand. Perhaps I had gotten lucky, being his choice, being chosen. I don’t know, maybe I’m just the crazy one. I stared where my toes once were. I guess he took them, my toes. I had handed them over, what else could he want? “I will now ask the question, What makes us ask questions?” He knew my question, for he had known it from the start.

Hearing that the people of the past, viewed the past as passed and not a thing seems like a better way to live
One of the most fascinating things for me in the last decade has been the discovery of memories of FEELING. Do you ever remember not what happened or what things looked like or who said what, but how things FELT? I mean, of course you do. I'm assuming that you do too. But it blows my mind to become conscious of it. Because one of the things I realize is that you really can never step in the same river twice. Each time in my life, each era from months to years, to even days or weeks, feels completely different. And so in terms of memory what rocks my world the most is when I suddenly get triggered back into the feeling-vibe of what it was like to exist as me long ago. Not what happened. Not how things looked. But how they FELT. The whole vibe of that time of my life. I believe it's a completely unique concoction for every period and every time. And most crazily, for every person.

I like to imagine the Random Person crying during all this information and existential crisis
When VSauce pops up with a shirt adorned by cats hiding in a fern pot plant, your day just gets better.
Love this. Someone's certainly been reading their Kurt Vonnegut! Slaughterhouse Five and The Sirens of Titan are similarly excellent observations of this concept.
It’s funny because I was like “damn, 2016 was 5 years ago”
Vsause hearted you ur so lucky
It's crazy. I still remember all the controversy from back then.
Holy shit you got hearted
I don't think i've ever seen a comment hearted on a vsauce video
lol
Bruh, Michael just stopped posting just to flex his beard twice.
Kizuna AI profile pic. Very nice. It feel so long ago when Kizuna AI started.

His beard grows faster than humanity's will to die.
woulda been better if the beard grew throughout the video bit by bit

growing up with no tv is way more weird than growing up without phones
The last three segments starting from chrono saunder, scared me. I understood it too well. I thought there’s something wrong with me. I also thought i was the only one in my family to have this perspective. Until i found this video. From my experience realistically, time flys when you’re filling up space in isolation or your perception that it went by quick because too much has happened in that period of time. When you count the years let’s say 2017 to 2023. Wow that’s old already once you count the years. Wow the video i’m commenting on right now is already 2 years ago. When you feel time flys, that’s you reflecting on how much has changed. Therefore, giving you that illusion that the older you are it feels as if you know everything too well about understanding things that it becomes boring. As a child i didn’t knew much about the world. So i still remember things vividly from an adult brain, but barely from remembering back when i was 5-8 years old. As i had a conversation with my sister of what i remember when i was little lol. But these memories they were abstract and small details. I notice as an adult, it’s harder to remember things recently like a month ago or even yesterday lol. What i notice about time? When i had yard work at the new house. It was insane labor and we dug holes to fill them up with concrete. To make a patio and a deck for our backyard. That whole entire day felt long and i enjoyed staying there at the new house. But i notice something that scares me. When you fill up time with contemporary distractions. You get the illusion that social media or technology makes it seem like time flies or when you watch an old video it feels and looks old as heck. Not until they smile or it brings colors. Then it feels timeless. Me (22) “i remember in Feb 2019 i went camping with my family!”Someone i had a conversation with, (15) “wow that’s old i bet it was fun” Me: “To me that’s not old but for you yes because you were younger.” The perspectives with age are different. perceiving time with numbers of it feeling not that long ago. My experience and takeaway, don’t use social media too much. Do a lot of work or something productive. Time goes by slow that way. And lastly, live in the present. Everything you do will be nostalgia in the future. If you found this thanks for reading btw. Just my experience.
VSauce is actively pioneering the genre of educational horror
Lol
Don't forget about Kurzgesagt
@@niduberi Kurzgesagt is more existential, which Vsauce has too. But Michael is deranged, he wasn't the same man after leaving the white room and doing hard drugs in a foreign country for mindfield
(Lovecraft)
Facts!
Beardless Michael is the most cursed thing I’ve ever seen.
Lol
wait, it's not Phil Collins?
Beardless Michael is basically Rodney McKay.

@UCC-6pdcazyIEAz9q7ejBBsQ i checked ur profile now whats ur room number
That comment about _Semi-Charmed Life_ being as old as an Oldie Growing up hit me like a gut punch 🤜🏻 to the chest. Especially since I turn 40 in a week, and a doctor prescribed addiction to amphetamines to get me through this semi-charmed kind of life of living to work.
I always have felt saunder. I can feel it if I wanted to or just make it the way my brain normally intended it to. But chronosaunder is something which I have never thought of. Like imagine feeling like every person who ever lived was like a protagonist in the story of time. His vids make me question life
I remember sitting down to watch this video thinking "wow, a half hour?", and then, just like that Michael is saying "and as always. Thanks for watching". Yeah, time is strange.
Samee
... Or is it? Lol jk it is.
when you are interested in a subject ur brain collects more information than normal when so time speeds up

I see Michael and I click, I don't even see the time.
Michael: "You can't do that to time that has already happened" Me: "Oh, okay" Michael: "Except you can" Me: "Oh, okay"
it feels like michael is actually from the future, guiding us slowly to absolute enlightenment
@@janzacharias3680 I for one accept my glorious future of science and knowledge
If my teachers were like Vsauce I would learn about these topics all day I love this
I always was under the impression that the first years of life were longer for us as the clockspeeds of our brains were faster. Similarily the short life of a fly I would imagine to go by as slowly as our lives and for them weeks to go by as as they watch us slow humans swing for them.
False, Michael was never born. He just “appeared” one day fully dressed with a fully-grown beard
Sounds cool
And his first words were "Hey Vsauce, Michael here".
