Video

Your closing comments make me think of the musical episode of Star Trek: "when I scan the universe it reveals truth and gives meaning, it's what I'm meant to do."

"universe ovens"

I'm 20 seconds in and I'm already in love. Thank you for making this.

Awareness is known by awareness alone.

12 your

This is my new favorite thing

All those questions are answered the Islam or quraan

I just love the narrator @theblackforager! This is amazing!!!

Great

This format is fantastic

Love the hosts great work!

I thought you would talk about about what makes and artist great and then you divert us by talking about women artist and discrimination faced by them. I agree about the discrimination part but make a separate video about.

Merci !

Here’s an idea. How about try the opposite of this. There are those, rare I guess, that believes an artwork could stand on its own. No backstory. No context. No information. No rules. Just you the viewer and the art in front of you. See if it moves you, makes you think, inspires ideas. Let your mind project onto it what you will. Feel the emotions that arise, see what happens. After all this, maybe you could find out all those things this video tells you to do. Then see what matches. You’ll learn more about yourself and art in the process. No one should ever tell you what to think about art. It’s up to you to decide. Art goes beyond cultural context, it transcends history and backstory. It makes connections you haven’t even thought of or dreamt up if you let it. Art isn’t some boring history lesson. It’s actually magic.

And yet at the same time we still have an embarrassingly vast number of people on this planet who are still absorbed by the colour of peoples' skin, their religion, their politics. We have business executives pressuring governments against clean energy because it hurts their bottom line. I feel like we've clawed and grasped at truth, constantly hindered by various parties whose fortunes depend upon ignorance and the status quo ... and I worry that at some point our ever stretching grasp will be yanked back by mob psychology, as too many 'leaders' use fear and small-mindedness amongst the general public to achieve their own selfish ends.

What does it even mean to go in and out of existence? Like wtf does that mean in a fundamental no magic level?

Great episode, thanks for sharing.

IM 11 SECONDS INTO THE VIDEO AND I ALREADY LIKE YOU!!! :D

"It was a dark amd stormy night" jk😂😂😂 I appreciate the humor in such a heavy video.

Artists are far better then most celebrities these days in reality

Reading this in 2024 is haunting

I listen on a bootleg podcast app and don't know if it shows as a view for you so I wanted to come here and add my appreciation and enjoyment to the din. And also say that John is the perfect compliment for Katie in this series.

Thank you so much for this. I spent a year working as a nurse in Papau New Guinea and saw many avoidable TB deaths, and it warms to heart yo hear others be so passionate about something that can be entirely stopped

Unforgiving authenticity

I love this so much! Break those old myths and bring the artists that got written out or written off to the forefront. I was recently flipping through an encyclopedia of Great Artists (printed in like 1977) and I had to look hard to find anyone who wasn't a European male. The ratio of men to women was probably 500 to 1, and it made my blood boil.

why is there deer in the vidio photo

Sometimes, I like feeling small.

41:43 Technically, *all* of you was there. No conservation laws were violated in the making of this universe.

This is great! Thanks!

This was so great to watch. Thank you.

I never thought that being black would be a good thing when it comes to being seen as so uncivilized tuberculosis doesn’t even try 😮

So what makes a great artist is made up by arbitrary societal standards? Cool take but it doesn't help me understand what makes an artist great... Was Pablo Picasso not great? Andy Warhol? Michelangelo?

I lol irl at every life insurance ad from john green bc he KNOWS it’s absurd as the thing he (and I, let’s be frank) just learned about the superposition of these particles and, on a much, much greater yet far less evident scale, us.

These first two episodes have been just great at helping me get my head around all these things i kind of know. Reminds me of the Carl Sagan quote "WE are a way for the universe to know ITSELF". MY HYDROGEN UNDERSTANDS BIG BANG THEORY. HOW COOL.

Dr. Mack's explanations are so satisfying, like a steaming hot cuppa quark-gluon plasma.

john: there will be no season 2 me: *frowns* six seasons and a movie, john

Guild to commission shift reminds me a lot of the AI shift that's happening now

Bob Ross was a MASTER.

To have John and Dr. Katie talking cosmology is pretty amazing. It's pretty much perfect.

"was it faster than the speed of light ? ... oh no"

@7:50 - This is also where they should have stuck with truth and beauty.

I had TB (active) and it took 5 months of changing doctors 3x to get it diagnosed (one thought I had asthma and gave me an inhaler, lol). My last doctor, referred me to a pulmonologist and he diagnosed it in 2 mins based on the symptoms I was telling every doctor up to that point. He called me one night and told me to get my ass to the hospital after he looked at my x-rays. By this point I was having terrible dizzy spells and gasping for air...I almost passed out on the steps to the hospital and don't remember much of the next few days. My treatment was very much like described in the video with DOT, for my first 3 months I was isolated in the hospital with no access to anyone and only the things I brought with me that day. The other side of treatment and testing was the lack of SUPPORT patients get, when you're sick, in American health system, you'll rack up THOUSANDS in debt and most likely lose your job (at least that was typical pre-covid and before WFH). FMLA can only protect you for so long and active treatment typically last longer than FMLA. I was still expected to pay my bills and rent but with no income it proved very difficult so when I was released I had no housing and a eviction record. When I was finally cured, my job was gracious enough to offer me my position back but it turned out that once you have active TB EVERYONE in my company, everyone I ever sat next to and places I just happened to walk past needed mandatory TB testing. People didn't want to be next to me despite being fully cured so I ended up leaving that job, that stigma in society is still there and going well. I met with clinical trial scientists and while I wanted to participate in their studies to help find cures I couldn't because at this point I was homeless and they offered no financial support for something I had to attend multiple times a week. If it was this bad for me in the AMERICAN health system I couldn't imagine how it is for people in 3rd world countries and my heart goes out to them. I learned that one of the drugs I used to treat my infection, isoniazid , was originally developed as a anti-depressant and when it was used on depressed patients who also had TB they began to see improvements of the infection, go figure.

This is amazing! I am still a little fuzzy about something and hope it’s not a stupid question: if the light we see from looking at, say, Andromeda, is actually what it looks like in the past - how do we know Andromeda still exists? Are we always looking at the past and never a “live” image???

These conversations between experts and smart non-experts are very important.

They used to be DaVinci era but past say 1881 they are just tallented. Taking a pic of a soup can isnt genius painting starry night isnt either they didnt give the world anything else like Gallego or DaVinci

Very cool thanks.

"It wouldn't be cosmology if it didn't make me nervous". You and me both, John.
