As an educator, I can confidently say that this speech should be included in any Ed degree classes. What a great teacher.
What do you teach?
I just put it in a first day folder!
In any what?
Big fat agree!!!
Agreed!!!
“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.”
― Henry Thomas Buckle
That’s good
just be good, its what bible says,
@raul 1000 well educational system isn't the only place we do majority of our study and learning. Even in an educational system we learn lot of others things ranging from studying mathematical formulas to laws of nature that we can observe and understood. critical thinking, pattern recognition, cross examination, deduction and observing gathered knowledge are the building blocks to create new ideas. yes we do credit whoever that set forth the theory or idea, we do observe and study people or event from the past. but more often than not its knowledge that set forth that we find more valuable. so even in this clip when Neil says he want the things he taught to lived on and understood more so than him. That's not because he want to appear just humble but rather ideas and knowledge that he set forth have far more value to the humanity as a whole.
EDIT :sorry if my English is bit messy it's not my native tongue .
But is philosophy not just the higher wave of gossip?
But tyson is discussing about his father
I will never be tired of listening to him. He's a great gift to humanity. Very intelligent.
LOLOLOL. He’s a fraud you fanboy
Concerning Neil DeGrass Tyson, I encourage you not to be deceived. Soon, God will judge the world in righteousness. If you are a good person, you have nothing to worry about. However, if you have lied or stolen, you will be tried as a lying thief. Unfit for the perfect fun of heaven, you would be consigned outside with other lying thieves. Hell is torment and it lasts forever. God is love and eternity without love is hell. Believe me, it is hell!
Yet, Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, you may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
It's called wisdom, not intelligence. You can be the smartest individual in existence, you will still be a fool if you don't find a way to benefit a fellow human. You can be the most educated (in terms of knowledge alone) person, you will still be an arsehole if you cannot behave. When you are wise you drive your life according to your morals, values and ideals...
@@stixoimatizontas true. Intelligence comes from wisdom.
@@RobertMJohnson a fraud in what way??? Let me guess, his credentials are not as impressive as yours? I'm sure you have flipping burgers or cutting grass down to a science, you should use that and try to empower others.
“By whatever powers I have available to me, have I lessened the suffering of others” Very powerful line.
I would think only Jesus Christ can say that. But yeah There is no lower g od
Wonderful all those who thought 'how to lessen suffering?' invented something or other to eradicate suffering be it medicines or technology.
"What is an adult scientist but a kid who has not lost their curiosity" WOW!
This is incredible. I remember hearing these exact words something like twenty years ago from my own father who was, at the time, one of the top scientists in Canada.
Curiosity stream
Dude I know some people hate scientist & they just "happen to have family who are straight {W word or N WORD}" some of you know what I mean, how can I make them better? Because the dude that investigated French fries fuel died alone, same as testla & the way they parish worries me, even MLK died for my character
Or a kid who hasnt had it kicked out of him by teachers..
That tombstone is so disgusting ur basically calling me a side character !!!! Well Unless i do something to further humanity -_- ... but fuck that!! I'd rather die with my greed like the rest of humanity then further humanities own greed... >:[
The man's a legend. Humble, respectful and genuinely interesting.
He’s a narcissist...I love him too though 😁
@@offtime915 you need to be in order to place yourself higher than things that will drag you down, in the long run he does a lot more other people and spreading decent ideas and philosophies.
Lol
He’s anything but humble,but ok duke.
If time is right, if you acually really pay attention to the way he talks and his body language, he is a narcissist. I still think he is a phenomenal person. We all have our flaws. Having a big ego isnt the worst thing in the world.
I wish I had him for a teacher in any year of school. He's brilliant
The sad thing is that he would probably be fired if he were a teacher -- public school K-12 that is.
Yessss
Whenever I hear NdG speak, my respect for him always goes up significantly. If only there were heaps more people like him on our planet!
What is this real name 📛 I am home-schooled I'd like to look up his stuff
There are people like him - you! Just add more positivity to this world than negativity.
@@dylanpringle4314 Neil deGrasse Tyson
Would respect him more if he stuck to the planets and not preach genderism.
The reason he is so special (and I believe he is, regardless if I disagree with many things he might have said). The reason is that this sort of people are rare to find. Don't forget that for every NdT there are thousands who believe that a donkey orbits saturn. For every Galileo there were thousands who believed the sun orbits around the earth. For every Aristotle there were hundreds who believed in Zeus and Hera. After every collapse of a civilization there was a middle age to follow. Yet humanity could always find a way to advance and get through obstacles. So don't wish for more Neil's, be one.
Why can't anyone get a teacher like him, a legitimate, REAL teacher?
Exactly idk

@@garrettshelton5788 on god
barebearburiesbarrysberries maybe it’s because you are unteachable!
Nothing is lost with the internet you can indulge yourself in his knowledge and Carl sagan
He's really gifted in expressing his thoughts. A natural teacher.
Sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine.
He is not a natural, he worked for it. In it he talked about going to other peoples mindset to teach them, that's not natural; you do not naturally go outside of your "comfort zone". You work & strive to go outside it so you may reach other people or things.
Forrest Felsch glad you said this so I didn’t have too😬
Bullshit
What a shameful shill for humanity, don't find out the truth on your death bed. Einstein was a fraud.

I broke down into tears watching this, and wish I could have seen it 40 years ago.
It’s never too late!
There are better. I mean he's an astrophysicist, there are psychologists with way deeper books that you can read. If you read😂😂😂
This man is at his core a pure teacher and I love him for it
That's it in a nutshell: a pure teacher. ❤ NgT.

"If I can do it better than anybody else then it would be irresponsible not to". What a compelling person Neil deGrasse Tyson is. He's so articulate with his words. His curiosity and childlike wonder to keep learning is a trait we should all keep. To see that puddle and jump in it. To not let any obstacle stand in the way of an experiment and if so find solutions on how to overcome it. What is the meaning of life? First of all, you have to ask yourself what meaning means to you. You have the power to give life meaning. We are in effect the universe manifested in consciousness. However you choose to walk that path in life, live it the way you want to.
There isn't a society on this planet worth my best.
@@rafaelgonzalez4175 You are a detriment to society.
We need teachers like him teaching our kids. Such a rarity in today's world, especially in the teacher circles. I had a great World History teacher who told me I am giving you the tools, it's up to you to figure out how to use them and find your own way. Sounds simple, but to me in my sophomore year of high school, it was like a light bulb went off and I just became insatiable for knowledge. I found new ways to learn. I passed that onto my own kids. You're such an inspiration, Dr. Tyson!
Exactly right. They don’t teach you this stuff in school
You and I belong to the lucky ones I guess. In my eighties highschool years in the Netherlands we had this old hippy teacher with long hair and a beard and (nowadays unimaginable) was always smoking smoking cigarettes in the classroom. But his passion and his ability to trigger every student by just telling stories and especially small really personal detailed stories about ordinary peoples tales in important historical times inspired every student to listen and learn.. He did not give lectures about the timeframe on the holocaust for example, no, he told the story about a family of small farmers that just happened to live right between camp Birkenau and camp Auschwitz. No stats, no timelines no numbers, just an hour and a half about this family who just lived there by accident.. that's what teaching history is all about I found out later when I finished studying history.. And he was such an inspirator! I remember one class where he said; okay, this chapter is needed for your exams, so learn it, but today we are going to talk about something that's just as important. And he set up a record player, and asked: what do you know about Led Zeppelin? And he would first give a small introduction, then play the record an afterwards kept on talking about how they changed the world of music.. We were never saved by the bell, no when he was talking, we all hated that bell, we wanted to hear more and more! Is that a fucking real teacher or not!
We need teachers that embrace both religion and science and can compartmentalise, neither showing favour to either. We need teachers that do not indoctrinate, but teach critical life skills and fundamentally sound reasoning, not emotional activism.
Sorry to burst your bubble -but Neil Tyson is not only a liar - but a fraudster
everything you were told by Neil Tyson and others like him are all liars and are deceiving many people with false concept of evolution
Your world history teacher was a really good athiest. That lesson is one of the athiests best ways to get more athiests, teach em how to research.😊
I have two boys that are constantly curious about things. It took this video for me to realize and look at their curiosity and nurture it rather than curtail it. Thanks Neil! You made me smarter today than I was yesterday.
You and me both sir.
I played the 'why' game with my mom when growing up, and she always played along. So much patience allowed me to understand there is always a why for everything although no one knows them all.
landess
Nurture the crap out of those curiosities!!
Uve, in turn, paid it forward to them, hopefully for them to do the same along and along
9:48 I started crying, because I thought of my own 1,5 year old son. A few days ago when he didn't wanted to play ball pit but he only wanted to take the red balls out my wife said: our son always wants to use things in a different way they are supposed to.
For example, he has this "shape sorter box" where he pushes the rectangle through the circle and he turns the triangle so it can fit through the square. And I always let him be, because I don't want him to think that he can only put the triangle in the triangle, I want to to explore other options.
My thought pattern was often different from others and it took me until I was ~28 years old to figure out that I should never have chased to think like others but instead develop my own way of thinking about things. I want that my son will always know that. Hearing Neil deGrasse Tyson talk about kids' curiosity confirmed my intuition and that I should even let my kid experiment more.
Thanks, Neil deGrasse Tyson :)
Good job man i will take this as an inspiration for when i will have children you truly made me look at things in a diffirent way
You're a smart man! Even genius.
Thank god, these long inspirational comments end in the death of someone
Well spoken!
Wow I will do this when I have kids.
This man is amazing and a gift to this world!
Yes
He is
degrasse is not credible ... his comical imagination just proves his ideas are exotic science writers dreams. Sure he can do some math, knows some history and hodgepodge of studies to keep ppl in spin and the dark. im an amature..but i would gladly take on tyson one on one... his job is to lie to get laughs and sell tv and internet commercials at all costs like mc donalds hamburgers and compared to my delicious hamburgers theres no comparison, i make the very best! . its a CONFLICT OF SCIENCE INTERESTS! Tyson still cant grasp ( comprehend lol) who clausius, hoyal, kelven, newton etc are and what they did ...and why we are always accused of circular reasoning . Why debate fallacies like plank time, big bang, evolution, abiogenesis , when they are false and dont exist in the first place.. ( black holes excluded) .
When Lawrence Krause gets cornered when he says Physics is weird when comes to thermodynamics, and you cornered him with sound reasoning and science, he starts cussing, ranting, and loses all credibility like tyson. ..... they are less than sound with science and truth, besides these ungodly well educated doofs are stoned and drunk have fun making hay. Ill stick with empericle science and facts from men and women of renown like Isaac Newton , Luther, tynedale, Joseph Smith, Constitution, Founding Fathers and the Lord God Almighty . Most Latter Day Saints at the age of 12 ,on their own study all come to the same understand and correct conclusion have reconciled entropy and Eternity and the universe and you!.
He's definately a self-believer
❤❤❤❤❤❤
My younger brother is a teacher in NYC and I've seen the impact that he has on his students and I have to admit, it's inspiring. He doesn't just teach his students, he educates them by appealing to what interests them.
And that is exactly the key to educating pretty much anyone. By getting them engaged, that's how you break down that seemingly impenetrable barrier of someone who would otherwise become an educational also ran, until you figure out what makes them tick.
As NDT quite rightly espouses here, it's more than teaching - you can open the door, but real success is getting people to continue to question things and continue to teach themselves as they navigate through life - that's the real win, in my view.
NDT expresses those sentiments extremely well here.
@@jamesbarbour8400 which is why I'm not a teacher.
“Drive and curiosity is not taught in school, school at a minimum preserves curiosity, so if you lost it, its there to put it back in you” Thank you Neil
@Jazz E that was really unnecessary 😒 it seemed like a positive thing to say no need to go around big brain flexing I get theres no context but really why criticize a nice thing to say?
@Jazz E okay what you said could be taken mean is all I was trying to say there's no context i addressed it in my comment so maybe adding context would be nice
Boo schools are limited intentionally....

This interview brought me to tears. I am so glad that there are still people like this man in the world
♥️
Sadly not enough..
me too this was truly something that the world has never seen before in Neil DeGrass Tyson the side that no one has ever seen of him until this interview.
I never liked science that much as a child, but watching interviews of Tyson was actually one of the things that has kindled my interest in it as an adult. He's a great communicator to the public- I hope he knows he's made a big difference. I also liked what he said about children and creativity- I'll take that on board if I ever become a parent.
Mine as well ❤️🩹‼️
This man is an absolute Treasure of a human being! I literally had tears in my eyes listening to him, his compassion and knowledge and Love of All is is just inspiring❤❤❤
I could listen to him for hours, he’s amazing !
“What the BUDDHA TAUGHT”…..!!
Really amazing guy.....you got to love him
People like this are called "Guru" in India - he exemplifies that term. A gift to us. The man is well beyond Physics.
He's all spirit, filled with Grace
The man can’t even do physics
Funny You mention it, because I personally do see him as one of my Guru. Guru = 'a speaker of truth, worthy of respect'.
"If I'm ever as remotely famous as he is, I will treat students the way he has treated me". This! Simple act from Carl Sagan decades ago is still giving more and more to science long after he died.
Crazy to think that, if Sagan had not embraced this random kid the way he did, if he hadn't show some nobody a little some human compassion, then there's a chance we wouldn't have the Neil deGrasse Tyson that we have today. How many countless lives would be worst off then?
The humility is inspiring. Not let their egos consume them as the most popstars today. They really try to make a world a better place, and Carl making the life of Tyson better, made Tyson change the world to a better place.
Not really...open ended maybe

Empowerment from PARENTS as role models.
Critical thinking and acknowledging meritocracy and responsibility
Social interactions not shame or talking down to people if they disagree with your world view.
Living in a world with people that disagree with you and EMBRACING IT because you are balanced and fundamentally and morally sound in your reasoning.
Praise the family not teachers .
NdT is a genius, he is really a rare gem. This man should be forever remembered.
He's a clueless liar. Wake up! The 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.
Who else feels like a failure when you get something wrong. School should teach us to fall and know how to get up a better person.
The school I work at has a teacher that has a saying in her class. "A champion is someone who gets up when he can't"
As an educator, I am ashamed at how our profession has done everything to tear individuals down and very little to build them. I swore, and continue to strive, to be the outlier, the positive example, and that educator who builds! Jesus, it's lonely, but it's WORTH IT!!!
PUBLIC SCHOOL IS TO EMPLOY ADUTS NOT EDUCATE THE YOUNG! A MAJOR DISCONNECT! MORE TAX MONEY GOING DOWN THE HOLE! LET'S CHANGE IT!!
a shame teachers are paid worse than garbage men
Yeah my France teacher used to say dont try if you dont know it to kids she didnt like
His voice alone gives me such inspiration.
His voice is actually quite calming and relaxing to listen to.
I agree Evan, AND his enthusiasm!!!! He TRULY loves what HE does! That is rare! :)
God’s Voice should as well. 🙏🏾
“If I could do something better than others, for the benefit of society, I would be irresponsible if I did not.”
This guy is a lifetime quote factory. Amazing.
Something we all think and feel. But it is he who can articulate the words. I understand his humility, but he's kind of super awesome. We don't want to forget him. As a matter of fact, we should all speak his name more often! Go Neil!
Normal Teachers... when their students become famous one day...
"Did you know that i used to be his teacher! I teached him alot of things"
Neil de grasse tyson when teaches someone something...
"I didn't do anything... he's smart by himself..."
Love tyson... he's sooo humble!
Your comment makes it seem like humility is better than achievement and pride. Each has its own perspective place.
Tyson isn't overly humble, I don't think he claims to be humble.
Instead he just just understands the importance of pointing people in the right direction, then letting them run with it.
Give a man a fish, he'll eat 1 meal.
Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for the rest of his life.
In addition... I guess clarification of my thoughts, who really cares about humility? Most truly humble people keep their deeper thoughts to themselves, cuz they don't want to come across as bragging or showing off.
If Neil deGrasse Tyson was humble, and not preachy, then we wouldn't get such great science lessons from him.
He'd keep the thoughts locked away in his own head.
It's pretty rare for someone to be able to share wisdom with the masses without at least appearing preachy or pompous.
If he didn't believe he was right he wouldn't be as passionate about the topics he speaks on. He probably wouldn't care enough to talk about them with others.
Monks are humble, a lot of them take vows of silence and don't share their wisdom with the world.
In conclusion, humility isn't necessarily a good thing.
That's not what he wanted you to think about. School/teacher helps a little to preserve or find back your whatever curiosity is left in you. If you lost your curiosity and school/teacher failed to bring it back, it is not as much as the school or teacher is poor but more on how you grew up is poor.
And he don't want you to remember him how good of a teacher he is but how you could translate that to next generation.
"Because if people say 'This is true because Tyson said so, then i've failed'" -Neli deGrasse Tyson
Man, that quote inspires me because Tyson said it! Anyone else?
/s
😂
that made me chuckle
Like Gravity. Which has not ever been scientifically proven.
Cause and Effect. Something goes up does come back down... does not = gravity.
As the laws of Boyance and Density explain this: Object is heavier than air, it MUST fall through the air. Etc.
Personally, I have always thought that "Because I said so" is a dodge. It's the refuge of the incompetent, the lazy, and the coward.
This man always amazes. The scope of his understanding is astonishing.
Spending a decade and a half in a community steeped in heroics, the modern American military over 20 years of warfare, I’m hard pressed to say I have hero’s, particularly when their primary qualification is fame. This man goes beyond the title for me and reaches the status of inspiration. I don’t want to be like Neil, I want to feed off of Neil’s passion for what he does and the people he interacts with, to fuel my own passion in my pursuits in learning and teaching.
👍 Being inspired to achieve one's own 'best' is far more worthwhile than being inspired to emulate what someone else has already achieved.
Thank you for your service.
As smart as he is, I really believe it's Tyson's ability to communicate that has made him this famous. Such a gifted speaker
I say both 😉 He is incredibly articulate and intelligent
Communication is key. I know a lot of knowledgeable persons who can not share their knowledge because they do not understand that the others are not on their level. You have to step down in order to lift someone up.
His gift in communication is the one tht makes him famous while his intelligent enchance his gift.
His gift is the arrow while his intelligence is the bow. The arrow can be thrown far using just hands but by using bow it can be even further or even curve
I disagree completely. NDT speaks English well. His vocabulary is excellent. But it is the depth of thought and his willingness to engage that makes him brilliant. And his self-granted sense of DUTY that makes him heroic. He can learn to speak French badly tomorrow, and nothing about him would change, as long as he could articulate his thought completely. That does not require a massive vocabulary.
I loved my 11th grade English teacher. She had an amazing vocabulary. And almost no one knows her name. See the difference?
that’s his job. He explains science in a way that the average person can understand
School did an excellent job removing all of the Curiosity I had, and replacing it with obedience training, to prepare me for an unfulfilling life of servitude.
I miss that dreamer.
My childhood curiosity was crushed, too. I was trained to be a quiet, obedient child and above all, to avoid upsetting people.
Succinctly put, and unfortunately so true.
I once posed the question in a Firearms forum " why has innovation stagnated? Why are there no more John Browning's or DB Wesson's and Horace Smiths?
Why is every new innovation just another re-adaptation of someone else's creation?
I firmly believe the system that we are born into now has destroyed the creativity that it took to become a genius a hundred years ago.
If Orville and Wilbur Wright were born today they would be forced to focus their learning into a little box so that they can pass tests and go on to college and pass more tests.
Then they will be successful.......
I just think as a society we have completely lost the point.
Blame school
@Savage Investor because of authority.
I can say Tyson has had me want to learn more than school ever could.
I don't remember where I heard this, but it changed my life when I was in school. "We taught you how to read, so you can read to learn."
That's so pretty ♡
Learning to learn is so much more important that what you learn.
Those 16 minutes felt like 60 seconds. I hated school so much and minutes felt like hours. His students are really lucky.
Relativity
Neil deGrasse Tyson - you have added value to my life, thank you very much
One of my favorite people in the world ! True inspiration !
Its funny- due to schools direct killing of my liking of education that I went after graduating I continued learning by myself, reading books, watching documentaries about all sorts of things. I love learning but I hate the education system.
People automatically think that the current education system is the only way to learn. Hence parents forcing their children through it, arguing 'you need to learn', 'it's for your future', etc, blindly ignoring the way that they're learning. Mostly because the majority thinks that there's nothing wrong with the education system.
I feel this. Couldn't wait to get out of that stupid cycle.
I've learned more about the world on my own letting my love's and interests take me.
This is very relatable tbh. When i was in High School i absolutely hated my physics course, because of the way it was taught and because i didn't understand it. Now, a few years later, i started developing an interest, and even an urge, to start reading books on astronomy/astrophysics to expand my understanding of the universe. By doing that, i started to connect many dots and that was really a beautiful moment. Moral of my story is: reading books has taught me a great deal, even taught me more than they did in (High) School.
Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. I experienced the same in my education, hated school but loved learning. But many of my teachers did well. I tried my hand at teaching myself but got overwhelmed.
I sympathize, but allow me to be devil's advocate...who taught you to read?
“The only thing you leave in life is what others learn from you” -Jose Rivas-

Love this... I adore what he says about raising children and not squashing their curiosity
Reminds me of Carl Sagan's Cosmos: A Personal Voyage (1980 television series) I used to be fascinated with .
Mr. Tyson is a real educator. He goes where the curious student's mind is. 👏
Dr. Neil Tyson sounds like a really decent human being.
He's fantastic actually!
Hes a lot more than decent

Education is mostly what you make of it- but the value of a real teacher almost cannot be measured (so to speak) ♥️
He's a incredible person, how he sleeps at night I have no idea, the perplexing realizations that intwine his everyday life, would drive me insane.
Cal Sagan and Neil deGrasse are in a class of their own. I grieved when Carl Sagan passed away, but it’s comforting to know that he’s left behind a more than worthy successor.
Agreed
Yes, and Sagan clearly recognized that Tyson was special, that he'd expended tremendous time and effort to achieve his level of knowledge and that his love of science and thirst for answers to mans' most perplexing queries was unquenchable.
So Carl Sagan took his own step, right there and then, to improve the world we live in by encouraging and mentoring a man teeming with intelligence, integrity and a genuine sense of responsibility toward the betterment of humanity.
All Tyson does is waahnk.
What kind of successor are you talking about
@@bumperslugger Amazing people helping to build up the next generation of great ones. All of humanity is the better for such kindness and generosity.
Carl Sagan advanced his field through research and scientific experimentation. Neil DeGrasse wrote children's books and quoted others' work and tries to present it as his.
"All it takes is for one person to see your potential, without any discrimination or prejudice and you become everything they envisioned" Neil and David Goggins put confidence in many people, myself included!!
"All it takes is for one person to see your potential..." and that person is yourself. The only limitations we have are the ones we set for ourselves
Neil has been one of my greatest inspiration growing up....If I ever meet him I would cry.....
Absolutely brilliant mind and how he conveys his knowledge across to his audience !! Very inspiring !!
I fucking adore NDT!!!! He’s literally my hero and the reason why I’m always constantly learning new things and expanding my mind. He has literally helped me to have that excitement in wanting to learn again
We're one
Skyy Vega.... what a cool name
I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH

Neil deGrasse Tyson meets Post Malone
It’s hilarious!
ask him why the atmosphere does not get pulled away from the earth by the second law of thermodynamics?
all he has is B.S.
What a brilliant, honest, articulate, and humble man. This 17 minutes should be THE graduation speech for every school in world...............or America at the very least.
ORflycaster watch his podcast with Joe Rogan, he just wouldn’t shut up.
@@C_R_O_M________ There are 4 pod casts with Joe. 1 of the 4 he wasn't in best form and over drove the conversation. Do some research.......
ORflycaster. My exact thoughts when I watched it.
santanalz what are the chances for someone that has watched the specific podcast where DG just wouldn’t allow a conversation to happen, to seek for another podcast with him on? Do some thinking on your own.....
Your comment isn't even coherent. Derp.
Neal is so inspirational, i cant even describe his way to make world a better place.
This man is a hero of the world of education. Certainly one of MY heroes!
I'm 74, I'm white , and meeting this absolutely amazing Black man has just been added to my bucket list. What a gift to humanity this man is.
Notwithstanding your mention of identity grouping, I agree with your final sentence, which rings true, regardless.
Yup. There too.
When he meets Jesus,I think Jesus will say well done Neil,I am real and love you .Neil accepting him in a loving hug.I only can hope to see this.
Sure, other black men aren’t worth meeting, white people like you who see people by their colorscouldn’t die fast enough.
Why you gotta mention color?
When I was small, my parents spoke of wonders of both the present and history, they taught me to be curious, to ask why and how. School did little for my wider knowledge and forced learning in things I never wanted to know...I soon found teachers knew nothing beyond their curriculum subject needed to get their class through tests. I began soaking up knowledge from books on a wide range of interesting topics and today I surf You Tube on all sort of science and history, geography, engineering, cosmology and vastly more. Learning never stops...it is fantastic. You’d be proud of me Neil...I did encourage my toddler to splash in the muddy puddle and it was fun to see huh!
Schools teach humans to retain and regurgitate. They don't teach people to think.
They are teaching humans to fit into the machine. Which we do need. But it shouldn't be the all and end of.
If we taught people to think, this world would be incredible.
The thing is, in the future this time line will be mocked. For the way we infested our minds with walls of hindrance.
I hope that we wake up as a species soon. My heart weighs heavy with sorrow and pain. We could be epic life forms. Instead of malformed mammalian.
Knowledge never ends, unless you believe you already know it all! You're spot on about school! I found it boring and incredibly slow. So much time wasted learning things that would never be applied or used again when we entered the 'real' world!
Oh and you sound like a fascinating human to me! 👍😊👍
Everything I learned in school and college was in a form of "shut up and calculate." Everything I learned outside of school and college was driven by my own curiosity, the Hows and Whys that school teachers and professors didn't have the ability to teach me, but did they share the same excitement.
Granted, I hold both forms of knowledge valuable.
Thats great to hear. Good for you!!
Thank you Professor Sagan for imparting such a wonderful life lesson.
Also to Professor DeGrasse Tysons father for instilling such incredible values to a child hungry to learn.
This man has single handedly changed perspectives and the way I live my life, reading his books and listening to his speeches has had a profound influence on the way I look at everything around me
Listening to him talk, about anything, is just mesmerizing. Literally puts me in tears of happiness and hope. I feel speechless and humbled every time I listen to him.
Also he has one of the most pleasant voice to listen to.
@@jerkkub v
First 40 seconds were pure euphoria, really hit home when he said “I then become irrelevant”... such a.. admirable way to think👏🏼 hit the nail on the head Tyson👌🏼
Lifelong learning is very important. At 72 I'm still learning every new day!
This gave me goosebumps and brought a tear to my eye. Such an inspirational human!
i wish we had teachers like him when i was young
I cried. This is what we need. I will follow this lifestyle and hopefully many others will too.
me too
Love that my teacher made this a required video to watch for class
This man just like Carl sagan before him have shaped my life and way of thinking. The world needs more people like him
This meaning of life was the one reason I entered nursing and it's still one reason that I'm so proud of these little moments that I have of knowing I made a person's life better and no one else will know about it... It lives with me and it lives with my patients. It's an amazing feeling and no one will ever know. Like I teach my nephew everything moves forward so if life has to be a snowball headed in one direction just make sure it's a positive one.
To speak to this man for 1hr. I would be in the presence of one of history's greatest gifts to humanity.
He is so great to listen to. When I was little, my siblings and a friend I wanted to play in a huge mud puddle at the end of the drive way. Our mothers said no, but my dad and his friend said, "Oh let them - we'll clean them up." So we did. And when we were done, they took us over to the old pump in the yard and washed us off. I not only learned mud was fun, but that well water is COLD!
I think mothers often said no because they were the ones who had to wash the clothes and clean up the mess. Sadly girls are more likely to lose the passion of learning by our society. I know I felt the change as I grew up.
I've been listening to Mr. Tyson a lot lately. A very humble, humorous and extremely intelligent man
If everyone thought “what can I do for someone today” when they got up in the morning, our world would start getting better. Thank you for your insight.
Without God's kind of love, people would not love one another,n if people don't love one another they would not wake up and think of what to do to help someone.
@@blessingudoh4612 With all due respect, but God has nothing to do with that. It's a human issue, not a divine one. God loves or not. God doesn't try. God doesn't have to weigh his or her own agenda against that of others. We humans do and that's the idea of the orignal comment... Would a divine kind of love help? Sure, but we're not divine and so we also will not get the blessing of that kind of divine help. We'll just have to figure that one out for ourselves.
I sit here with tears in my eyes coming upon the realization of how many times I've prohibited my own children from learning. Simply because I scold them for jumping in a puddle or grabbing something they shouldn't.
Me too.😢 luckily there is still time. We can re open the box that was closed. Start showing them your curiosity. Start exploring with them. Start making a mess with them. No matter how old they are. And maybe even one day apologize and say we were wrong now let’s make it right.
I feel u brother ... please forgive yourself and free yourself from this feeling ....we are all human beings and we all make mistakes or we do things we thought we were right at that time ..... This NOW moment is all we have , forgive ,learn, and cherish this NOW MOMENT 💜🙏💗
You wouldn't feel that way, if you weren't a good man. We grow within. That's the best we can do. Do better, once we know better.
I as a mom I let my kids discover by themselves and make mistakes if necessary, that is how you learn. But we as parents try to help our kids in the best of our ability even if we are wrong.
The greatest interviews with this man are the people that ask the right questions and let Neil organically answer without interruption. Because he has a way of talking that can take people intellectually to new levels. And no matter where you are in understanding science, he can appeal to all walks of life. His conversations are epic.
As a lover a life, freedom, liberty, decensy, honor, glory, consciouness, and gratitude? This is the best speech ever given.
Imagine how much better this world would be if we all had a father like Tyson and an open mind to absorb all that wisdom. I am a million miles away from the wisdom and intelligence that Mr. Tyson has but watching and hearing him speak makes me want to try and at least claw one millimeter at a time towards becoming a person like Neil.
I'm almost 78 and love learning, reading, and am swooning over this man's heart that he so freely shares.
Or if there were no republicans.
Imagine what kind of world we would be in if everyone had a father.
Or how much better the world would be if we stop worrying about what one "scientist" says and be our own moral guide. speaking out on things you know are wrong, despite race, inclusion and social agendas. If you learn your own values from your own parents, GREAT.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 Literally the first thing Tyson said in the beginning, don't worry about what he said, just be curious about the working of the world and be willing to question it and help make discoveries
I can't understand people disliking this, like how? Why?
T.J. Cornett prolly cuz they don't want their stuff in their notification feed
I gave up a long time with that one,
I think some people will dislike anything,
Maybe they don't like the furniture in the video, who knows ? 🤷🏽♂️
@@yesb3880 The desk came from the wrong IKEA catalog...
Racist ignorant people. And maybe some people who are annoyed by ads.
Don't waste your time and thoughts on this, is what you think that matters, why would you try to understand stupidity? We are sponge but we get to decide what we want to absorb, IGNORE stupidity (you KNOW when an action, a comment a phrase or a person is stupid) and ignoring it WILL LEAD YOU TO PEACE and further :)
Wow I hear him and it just makes me think about everything. I love hearing him talk about anything he explain it so well lucky for those who has him as a teacher. Respect for you Neil Tyson
In all my years, it's only recently that I've been captivated by this man for his knowledge and understanding of things and the universe (we don't have shows in my country of/about him, thanks for the internet!). Three years after the posting of this video, I get to see the wisdom in life that he has, the importance for innocence and curiosity to learning and understanding. I'm an old guy, and everyday I'm ecstatic to know that I'm still learning, and dread the day I stop. This 16:40 clip has taught me something I've never learned in school. Thank you for posting this.
I am not a scientist...but I can relate to this wonderful man, and he inspires my curiosity every time I hear him talk. I now am watching my children raise their children...taking time to dance in the rain, splash in the puddles and explore every experience regardless of the mess incurred just like we did for them. To my delight my daughter has a Masters Degree in Primary education specifically to excite children into learning and retaining that same curiosity into adulthood, just the kind Neil speaks of. Thank you Mr. Tyson!!!
The real: "Most interesting man in the world"
Dude I know some people hate scientist & they just "happen to have family who are straight {W word or N WORD}" some of you know what I mean, how can I make them better? Because the dude that investigated French fries fuel died alone, same as testla & the way they parish worries me, even MLK died for my character

Fake scientist. Complete moron. Not even interesting at all
@@JourneyOfStrength Truth
Journey Of Strength how’s he a moron?
As a mother.... This was so powerful!
I will forever be changed. The example with the kid in the puddle and letting kids experiment was the wildest thing I ever heard.
And from now on I will allow my kids to experiment and with a smile on my face clean up the extra work for me.
@Abner The basset wow! Your such a good parent! 😒
@Abner The basset are you trying to say you’re a better parent?? She wasn’t thinking on how children’s curiosity works and you’re over here trying to talk down on a parent. Do better as a human being trying to understand someone rather than putting them down. That first sentence saying “that was common sense for me” wasn’t needed. Be glad she found an understanding and will now on let her kids expand on their curiosity.
Even better, try to teach them how to clean up after an experiment if they’re able! Walk them through it and show them that they can do those experiments, but it’s important to finish them properly. Say they get muddy, when they’re old enough walk them through cleaning off their boots or clothes, or if they spill food all over the floor, make it fun for them to clean. ❤️
Me too. This just taught me to be more patient with my little one. Hes just curious. ❤
Agreed. I would've NEVER thought of it this way before as a mother until just now. And I'm glad to hear it
In my day in my school they taught you to think and ask questions and to search for answers. This is a lesson for life
Even Neil’s Dad was amazing!
This man is a national treasure.
👍🏿
What a story and an incredible human being.
Thats exactly what he does not want.
Why? Because they played music associated with awe and inspiration in the back ground while he was talking? Because he portrayed himself as calm, confident, intelligent and too alpha to need to prove anything? Because he was portrayed as a genius? Or is it because over 130 000 people viewed this video suggesting social admiration and dominance? In reality he is nothing more than a false idol, a wolf in sheep's clothing who you are worshiping because pride corrupts your soul.
William Levy what kind of hog wash are you spitting? He’s an accomplished, wise, and brilliant man giving advice to people. He is a fantastic teacher! In how do you come up with that nonsense of him being a false idol? It makes no sense.
Mark Ball because media portrays him as he knows everything when he doesn’t . He is smart, sure no question but his advise doesn’t hold anymore weight than anyone else’s when he is talking outside his field of expertise. When he gives for example parenting advise etc. Plus nonsense is still nonsense even when spoken by a genius. For example Stephen Hawking in his book the Grand design he states “ because we have a law like Gravity the universe can and will create itself out of nothing “ that’s complete BS and you don’t need to be an astrophysicist to figure that out.
@@markball7028 He's a hypnotic freemason exploiting your pride and gluttony. He's putting you under mind control and the thing about mind control is people aren't aware when it's happening to them.
I am a teacher as well, and I have the same philosophy, inspiring others is the best. This is so beautiful. I had no idea Neil is such a philosopher. Thank you sir, this was really helpful.
... been learning from this bro since I was 7. everything he says makes me think way more than any school I've been in.I love this man in a very respectful way that I just cant find a word for. this man opened my eyes as a child and I enjoy every bit of learnt things in my life.
I've been struggling all my life for doing what this man is teaching us to do. It's hard to live by your own convictions while the world tries to beat you into submission.
You made me cry like a baby because it felt like you were talking straight to me and about my own struggles. May God bless you today and always. You gave me the courage to keep on doing what I believe is right no matter. Thank you.
Download the daily Bible. It'll pop up about 3 times a day. I try not to ever feel inconvenienced when it pops up when I'm in the middle of doing what I want.
Stay with Jesus, God and The Great Spirit 🙏💞🙏🌎🙏💞🙏
I pray when it pops up and before the app, I've been talking to God my whole life.
But when I'm not talking to God and I stray to my own way, I fuck up 😪
I'm praying for the world 🙏🌎🙏💞🙏🌎🙏
God bless you and may we have time to prove our love to him.
I pray that God will lay his hands upon the elites of the world and take away their greed so that we may live in peace. I pray for the day we get to know real freedom without atrocities created by world government and with that can still prove to God that we will never leave him. AMEN 🙏💞🙏🌎🙏💞🙏
Stop the God nonsense to Tyson - he is an atheist. He is educated and a free thinker.

He is a Legend. Everything he said on this video he already said that on previews videos during the years in the same way and i will never be tired of hearing it. He is without a doubt for me the greatest human alive today. Thank you Neil
lol
Awesome guy love hearing him talk but definitely not the “greatest human alive today”
My top three are
1. ELON MUSK trying to move humanity forward fail after fail
2.DAVID GOGGINS life changing guy whom I listen to everyday and he’s basically getting us ready to be the toughest species alive so that when advance life comes to earth we don’t fall apart😂
3. JOE ROGAN why? Lol because I’ve learned a lot from his podcasts and it’s where I first saw David goggins
I’m sure I’m forgetting someone
@@HectorDiaz-xk7iy I am going to assume that you missed something in Pedro's comment, where is said, "for me". Pedro made it clear with those two words "for me" that his comment was about how he felt and not how everyone else should feel. You on the other hand took it upon yourself to dictate to everyone that your opinion of NDT is the only correct opinion with your authoritative statement "definitely not". I want to believe that that was not your intention. I only take issue with the first sentence of your comment. The rest of your comment that starts with 'My top three are" then goes on to list your top three and the reasons why is a great comment.
This is just my opinion and does not presume that anyone else feels as I do or should feel as I do.
Dinodas Bunce I did miss that thanks I skimmed through oh well I’m not perfect and yes that wasn’t my intention
@thomas boffman the movie I just ran across "Newman" he highlights one of the obscure people you are talking about.
I met him in 2009, and he's actually a super nice humble guy... have heard people say negative things about him, which is flat out not true. Probably my favorite human being ever!
i think Neil is a great example of giving back. his style of inspiring scientific curiosity in people is so easy to listen to and i love dad jokes.
"If I can do it better than others, and it's for the greater good in society, I would be irresponsible if I did not." The greatest one for my book.
There is no such thing as "greater good". It's an invalid concept. Good and bad are relational concepts and since there is no such thing as a collective consciousness (it's epistemologically impossible) those concepts relate only to individuals. Every individual has their own hierarchy of values which are based on many, many things and different for every person. There is no overlap in that hierarchy that pertains to all people thus making the idea of a "greater good" completely meaningless. People say "greater good" when they think they know what's best for everyone which is not something that is epistemologically possible - you cannot peer into the mind of another person and see their hierarchy of values.
It's a terrible quote and the idea of some duty or responsibility to anyone but yourself is based on nothing but the ethical axiom of altruism which is unfounded on neither epistemology nor metaphysics. Not sure why people apply skepticism to everything but not to basic ethical fallacies like altruism as if it is an intrinsically rigorous principle of behavior. Before preaching duty and responsibility to others, check the premises of those things. Philosophy is arguably more important that science because science relies on philosophy and humans rely on philosophy every second they are focused (when making decisions or getting information for example). I love Neil. He is a great guy. But this quote is utter garbage.
@@SiMeGamer r/iamverysmart
@@MauXtrem what's the point of this Reddit reference? If you think I'm an idiot spouting nonsense, leave it. I think I gave a decent enough explanation to excite the imagination and try to understand what those concepts mean. Maybe I'm wrong and there is a "greater good". I certainly can't find it and I think that it fundamentally can't exist. If you can explain what "the great good" means, I'd be more than happy to accept it if it is founded on logical pillars and concede my point.
No need to be a jerk about it :/
@@SiMeGamer the point is I never asked your opinion lol. If you want to discuss the concept of greater good for real, go to a community where people are actively debating such concepts (like reddit, though I wouldn't go to r/iamverysmart lol).
@@MauXtrem Nobody almost ever asks about anyone's opinions in comments of CZcams videos. But they still get them. Because you made a public comment with a reply function and not stating explicitly that you are not interested in the opinions of others. I also never said I want to discuss it. I presented an argument that I hoped you or anyone else would see and that they might think about (this is not a book or a thesis after all. I don't expect to convince anyone. Just to challenge one's mind). But if someone does decide to reply, I always appreciate if they can have a good rebuttal in case they disagree. I'm always up for learning. You did make your comment after all meaning you do hold a different take.
I don't actively seek communities for specific answers because I think I already have those answers and when I see someone who I thinks I can challenge, I try. If more people think about things and be more rational, our world will ultimately be better and I will enjoy my life more for it. And I love teaching, so that's a factor too.
I hope that explains my reasoning enough.
The greatest gift in my life has been watching my children become better people than I am.
🙏🏾
Then you are an amazing parent. You should be proud of yourself as well as your children 😁
thank you for everything you did for them to be better
Your kids are lucky to have a parent like you. You're a great teacher.
Truly an incredible educator. If only teachers all over thought and taught like he does.
