Hi kookikmoookmooomkokokookkikmiikmikmijyhuky
Yep
You'd keep the antivenin and let me and Brady die? That's it man, next time I play Oregon Trail I'm totally letting you get dysintery.
How could you not expect some smart alec response from Grey when you asked the question?
+SmarterEveryDay Sneaking in the opportunity to say I love your stuff and I love your message, as subtle as it may be. Also, Grey has a point. If he's the only one still able-bodied in a high risk environment it would be logical for him to hold on to the antivenom while trying to get help. That said, he totally deserves dysentery.
+CRFTR He did, and that was his smart alec response :D
+CRFTR This is part of the fun.
Brady and I, this is Ironic for your channel.
7:14 Q: How do you deal with stress? A: I try to remove the source
I now have a basebal bat close to my office chair so when my boss did ask "whats that for" i said: "Its to deal with any source of stress so i can be more productive"
I was never been bothered ever since, thanks for the tip man.
w-What d-did yo-you do to him....?
I wonder why...
That's cool need to try it
Edit : how to hide bodies in some place that nobody will find ?
@Wolf_FairyXx a help: you can hide a dead body in the fridge so easily

"The holidays are 80% of the reason I went into teaching"
Wow, a teacher actually said it!
My math teacher didn't tell us, but he made is feel it.
Well, yeah, because the rest of the job kinda sucks. Low pay, constant disrespect, a mountain of work that goes home with you, etc.
Yeah. Summer break is a blessing, and a well deserved one at that. Going through a perfectly normal American Midwest suburb public school system, I've seen how much shit teachers have to put up with. Now imagine teaching in an environment much further from ideal, such as a Chicago public school.
He did say this, but now he spends an entires week worth of time(if not more) to communicate a concept in 4-5 minutes. I think he also learned that he loved communicating information to other people in an easier to digest manor.
So Destin made you chose between Destin and Brady. Nice SMED, NICE!

I think THIS warrants its own video...
I write in a kind of cursive that I created myself that sometimes even I have trouble reading ☹️
I call it 'Messy handwriting'
My handwriting has been said to be really neat and easy to read. That is, before 3rd grade. We were quite literally forced to throw away our old style of writing and replace it with cursive. You got a detention if you didn’t write in cursive if I recall. Because of this, the moment we were no longer forced to use cursive in 4th grade I tried to revert back to normal non cursive, but my writing is forever tainted and will always be messy and terrible to look at. Sorry for the personal life story, I just wanted to vent this at something.
I believe that if immortality is achieved then most people wouldnt have children
I think people would still have children, unless immortality suppresses the biological urge/drive/desire for children. People would probably still get "baby fever." The only way I see them not is if this immortal society kept people too busy to have children.
Murder rates woild also increase
I mean, there's also a lot of people who don't want kids despite being mortal. so ¯\__(ツ)__/¯
I've always thought that if immortality is figured out, it would be secretive and very rich organizations that would be the first customers and the first in the know.
And before they would make it available to anyone (for a very high price) it would be simple enough to reduce human population. A couple EMP's a few nukes. And you'd be surprised how many less mouths we have to feed in the future. Then even with immortality for some of the people it would take a while to get back to our current population.
I'd argue that, even if "immortality" (which seems to really mean "eternal youth", since there's no way you're making someone immune to cardiac arrest, blunt force trauma, cancer, etc) is possible, that it would be a bad thing for us. People who propose this kind of stuff tend to focus on how much good could be done with it, but have you ever considered what it would mean for, say, Stalin or Mao to be hooked up to an Elixir of Life? Even on a smaller scale, what makes you think that we'd become *better*, as opposed to growing more and more wretched for centuries? This reminds me of something St. Augustine said: he believed that demons were immortal, but that they weren't to be envied, because what's the point of immortality without being blessed (in the Christian sense, of being absolutely, perfectly, and unchangeably happy and content). Or, to use slightly different language: why on Earth should we envy eternal life if that life isn't a good life? For all its flaws, at least a short, mortal life full of suffering has got to be better than a never-ending life full of suffering, right?
Appropriate quote:
_If any idiot ever tells you that life would be meaningless without death, Hyperion recommends killing them._
Jan Sten Adámek What is this in reference to?
Borderlands 2
Life isn't meaningless without death. But without death, life has no VALUE.
Daniel Baker no
Daniel Baker, please explain me how a serie of complicated chemical reaction is meaningful, or how preventing this chemical reaction to stop until approaching the heat death of the universe would render it meaningless.

How?
I like your work very much. Thank you for being who you are and sharing yourself with us.
The best flag ever is the flag of Bhutan. Why, you ask? BECAUSE IT HAS A FUCKING DRAGON, THAT'S WHY!!!! Also, Nepal gets an honorable mention for being totally hipster due to its non quadrilateral flag. Also, Sri Lanka's and Cambodia's are pretty rad. Basically southern Asia is rad, and you should feel rad...
Wales.....
Yeah, Wales?
Flintstoned Oh, yeah. I forgot about Wales.
Deborah Meltrozo What other non rectangular flag is there besides Nepal's?
That's rad
"Into the cornfield"
Really appreciated this reference. Cheers. :)
He sent the starwars prequels to the cornfield as well apparently
What prequels ??
Umm... I don't get the reference. Can someone explain please?
Twilight Zone
@@gigabic7487 but it's great that he sent the prequels into the cornfield just great.😁😅😁😁😁😁😁😭😭😁😁😁
A month and a half Into 2019 and my new years resolution of working out and eating better is going strong still. 10 pounds down from when I started and feeling fantastic
My favorite part of this video is marveling at his genius time management system of “units”
Hal didn't malfunction though, he did his job and followed all the orders he was given. The entire thing was user error.
Ah yes, we shall simply avoid the robot apocalypse by completely eliminating user error

In every single video, you are blowing my mind. I mean, your talent is the combination of two words; wise and smart. Thank you for share your knowledge and point of view with us. Best regards.
RIMWORLD!!!
You're officially my favorite CZcams dude now. Such a happy surprise, I think you just made my day by saying you play RimWorld haha ;D
there is something magical about grey's videos, watching them makes me feel smarter.
Huh, I just remembered that Grey is one of my favorite people on the whole internet.
Can I remind you again?
@@theramendutchman Fascinating. I have no memory of writing that. But I think it's still true. So many other bright minds have emerged on the net in these ~5 years, though. I do remember that this video is how I learned about Factorio... 650 hours played, at the moment.
@@mythconsumer do you still watch grey?
@@apillow666 Yeah, sometimes
I just realised that I love this series
Ps: 6 months in and I’ve never broken my New Years resolution!
( actually doing my homework every week )
Your goal of immortality makes you sound like a villain who has morals and starts as a good person but degenerates into a cold and relentless person working tirelessly to achieve their goal only to be ultimately defeated by the a teenage boy and his girlfriend with the power of friendship just as you’re about to publicly announce your successes
I’m so confused
Yesn't
Exactly why Grey despises anyone who tries to say that death is good. Not to mention that the power of friendship is on HIS side, if you understand.
I really wanted him to break the script right after showing it, just a little, to antagonize those who would be paying attention.
Regarding eye surgery to correct eyesight, as someone who's had it I can say that it's utterly painless and quite quick. Seriously, it looks horrifying, but I would sooner get eye surgery another 2 or 3 times than take 1 trip to the dentist...
+SmugPlatypus I agree. I had lasik to correct nearsightedness about five and a half years ago. Really glad I did it.
I discovered HI from this video. And since a few weeks I've been binge watching. Thanks, Grey.
Hey grey I just wanted to say that you have to be my favorite educational channel. Intelligent but still know how to have fun, Something surprisingly hard to find in an intelligent person!
How did you have Irish duel citizenship through a series of random events?
+TheGeekyGirl13 “Theo” ! Each country is different on citizenship acquisition. Most of Europe is citizenship by blood, so parents and grandparents.
Irish here, you can claim a passport (which is a european passport) if you have Irish grandparents under most circumstances, you need to apply with your local Irish embassy. If you have Irish parents, just order one already.
Thru a series of random events
What is your picture from?
gray gose to prisin comfermd jk plz dont kill me
Grey's voice is so beautiful. Just speak and I'll drop a like.
"It doesn't matter. Only agreement matters"
This is a great quote and I'm gonna start living like this more. It's surprisingly applicable to more than just which side of the road to drive on
My new year's resolution like, 5 years ago, was to stop having New year's resolutions. So far, so good!
Laughed so loud I had to pause after he answered the Star Wars order question. Amazing, Grey.
"People overvalue nationality"
A phrase I have wanted to hear for a long long time :)
+lilandmestudios As someone who's lived abroad for a while and hangs out with expats on occasion, it's a very common sentiment. And getting more and more common, thanks to social media and cheap airlines. :)
And I didn't.
+lilandmestudios Why wait for someone to say something when you can say it yourself
+lilandmestudios Thank goodness I have my national anthem and pledge of allegience, without it I might actually think that the people from other countries can be (and are) just as smart (or 'just') as me. All hail nationalism, it has never cause any problems ever.
OOOOOOOOOH SAAAAAAAAAAAY CAAAAN U C?
THE DWANS URLEY LIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGHT??????!?!?!?!
MERICA!
+Greoge 13 Nationalism doesn't mean you have to view other nationalities beneath your own...
_Really_ glad you have your priorities in order with that first screenshot.
RimWorld and Factorio. I knew I like this guy for some reason. Got my sub a few weeks ago. Wish I found you a decade ago.
Correct order to view the Star Ward films?
IV, V, VI, VII
10/10😂
I didn't get it. Can someone explain?
he didnt mention episodes 1 2 and 3 lol
Javier Gomez I gathered that but why?
***** cause alot of people hate them, so its funny cause hes completly ignoring them
Javier Gomez Oh I didn't that know people hated them...
Thanks for letting me know I guess :)
Wales has the best flag.
+Thegenfy agreed it'd got a bloody dragon on it
+sixsixsixjet Search for Bhutan's flag.
You're welcome ✌
+sixsixsixjet If only the UK would finally represent Wales on the Union Flag and just smack the fucking dragon on it...
Harry Strong Agreed
+Thegenfy Yeah... except when you look at it from a distance of like, 2 meters. That dragon it's way too detailed; cool for a medieval banner, not so cool for a flag.
It is a few days away from the end of the school year for me and I still am following my new year's resolution.
I would like to say, I love the fact you said: "into the cornfield." I loved that episode. :)
8:05 - Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't go dodging the question, buddy. Who is best pony?
Grey would probably say: rarity
Lapis Lazzulli
Grey would be correct!
although my favorite is fluttershy. and my least favorite is pinkie pie. Dont get me wrong but pinkie seems to be the main reason of the mane six getting in trouble in my opinion.
Lapis Lazzulli
My least favourite is Rainbow Dash. I think it's because she's a bitch. ;-)
+Silvershock Nicktail the correct term would be tamboy but bitch also fits.
Can we get a story of how you got Irish citizenship
I think that was described on Hello Internet somewhere. (Might have been Cortex? Definitely one of those though)
It was in Cortex. Basically his grandmother from part of his father was Irish. And when CGP Grey was a kid his father applied for Irish citizenship because it was possible for a while before the government was going to pass a law to stop that kind of loophole. His father handed his and Grey´s paperwork on the last day before they stopped accepting them, and Grey forgot about it. Few years later his dad mentioned as a sidenote that they both have Irish citizenship a he realized he had the opportunity to travel to the EU.
This is the best. This is addressing everything that's going on in my life right now
Your modem sounds woke up my cat and made her look around in such complete bafflement it was amazing.
Well thanks for ruining my life by introducing me to Factorio :(
"People overvalue national identity" You have no idea how true that is!
I love watching The Dog Whisperer man I've put so many hours into that show!!!
Best Country Flag: Mozambique!
IT IS THE ONLY ONE WITH A MODERN WEAPON ON IT- A AK-47!
Well that's kinda modern it was made during the cold war so it's not super modern it's kinda like the us m4 rifles or the m1911 they are reliable and so they are still use
strider04 um. The m1911 is not reliable and the m4 was introduced in 2013
found the veteran
@@noicrtm4472 As far as handguns go, the M1911 is rather reliable. Regarding the M4, it's more or less a shortened M16, which has been in service since Vietnam. The original M16 was horribly unreliable, though that was fixed with the M16A1, and the following models. Kinda like the L85A1/SA80. The L85A2 fixed most of the issues with the A1 Variant. Likewise, while the 1911 is a very old pistol, it's been modified to be better over the years, although it did lose its role as America's standard pistol. Honestly, though, arguing about what weapons are better for a military is a fruitless endeavor. The best weapon is the one that works the best for the soldiers that use it. A good part of that is training. As a bit of an additional point concerning the Kalashnikov, is that for the most part, military use has replaced it with newer models, ranging from the AK-74 to the AK-12.

That’s smart using the question format at the end to announce the sponsor, on CZcams the statistics say that people click off once the “ End-card” plays so put it before that 😉🤯
That Star Wars burn was amazing
I have MAJOR respect for your taste in video games :D I have been obssessed with Factorio since the very early days, then I took a break, and now that it's on steam, I'm obssessed with this game again xD
Nice vid, and Factorio's a great game :)
My handwriting perfected through college class note taking to a hybrid cursive/print to maximize speed and completeness of detailed notes.

I completed my New Years Resolution, I stuck with it day after day.
It was learning C fully and C# and starting my knowledge on Python like a aquatic beach head invasion in Cuba.
1:13 Is that Facist Ireland?
Congrats for that :)
Daniel Lima
Thanks!
Same thing, except not a new year's resolution - it was a February 22nd resolution - it was Japanese and I'm still learning it.
Or Fascist Britain who still refuse to leave the 6 counties?
Just saying
teacher: there are five senses
Me: I can smell videos
Teacher: that's not possible
Me: 6:44
Yep, that'd be one of the five
There’s technically more than 5, but teaching a technicality to little kids would be tricky and us teachers are already far too overworked. It’s pretty cool to research though.
If we were immortal, we could watch CGP Grey forever!
Can you expand on how you manage your time?
I see you have changed the thumbnail 5 years after the release of the video, Mr. Grey
Better start working on the next one, 3 Million is right around the corner!
I love your ironing tip.
> Be CGP
> Have godly Irish citizenship
> Live in dirty, smelly London

OMG you are exactly the person that would play factorio !
That date advice is gold.
One first date was Silence of the Lambs at the movies. (Yes, that old)
In that particular circumstance, it was the perfect choice.
Two caveats. One size does not fit all and the date should ***probably*** be informed what’s coming or it’s likely to get weird.
I think that an automatic basic income would probably help the transition to an automated society. That said, could you do a video on the idea of an automatic minimum income like the ones seen in places like Switzerland? I would like to know more about how it works, and you explain things rather well.
The "time units" thing he handwaves is the one thing I want to know more about.
Thank you for choosing my flag as one of the 2 good ones!! 🇪🇨
I would like to say that I have kept up my new years resolution for over a year now.
I also write in cursive. It's faster, more convenient, and even when your handwriting is sloppy it still looks impressive to others!
I agree completely 😆

"People over-value national identities anyway". YES, someone agrees with me!
+Jacob H (MrGAEM) YES!!
It's so nice feeling. Isn't it?
'MERICA! FCK YA!
NATIONALISM YEEE
@Brejdjdb Siegj Division isn't always a bad thing. Different places have differing cultures and sometime it is best they stay apart before tensions occur
My New Year's resolution was to not give up anything for Lent, but for Lent I gave up my New Year's resolution...
I also have Irish dual citizenship, my dad was born and raised there and I have a lot of relatives there. Sadly it no longer opens up the UK, but most of the rest of Europe is still on the table.
Finally, someone agrees with me about New Years resolutions
So what are those random events that can help one get citizenship in Europe?
Probably had an Irish ancestor. Grandad maybe. Ireland is in the EU and thus it equals EU citizenship.
Yep , his grandfather was Irish, his Dad applied for Irish citizenship for both of them when Grey was still a kid and never told him until it happened to come up later (He mentioned it on the Cortex podcast)
Basically, you have Irish ancestor, you can live and work in any European Union country.
We're awesome.
How close does it have to be, I probably have a great great great something or other.
Great grandfather is the furthest you can go I think
Ageing is a freaking DISEASE and it is WRONG.
CGP Grey, make a video about Transhumanism!! #Singularitiy
well, things just are a disease because we put that name on it. And some people would disagree on that.
Look up Aubrey de Gray.... hmmm now I am wondering if he is related to CGP :P
So you want to end evolution once and for all? We are the final build of humanity? Not on my watch. 90% of people are so stupid they do everything they can to ruin the world and society with their broken and flawed reasoning. We are a people that has only been civilized for a couple millenia, and before that millions of years of slow evolution as neanderthals. Millions of years compared to thousands. We *are* not that much different from neanderthals.
I couldn't be more opposed. Immortallity is the mortality of evolution. Forest fires can be the best thing to happen to a forest. People inventing immortality for themselves is one of the most selfish things I can think of.
Absolutely not. The scary thing is halting the aging process is as simple as preventing the decompisition of dna which happens naturally over time.
+jamie yello To add to that this is a critical point in our development as a species, we're going from poking trees with sticks to designing supercomputers. We *need* to evolve more.
jamie yello
We have basically stopped evolving anyways as a species, traits and changes are no longer selected by natural pressures. Evolution took us this far, we can do the rest ourselves. Weather you like it or not, we are on the cusp of "designer babies", genetically modified before birth to be free of defects and diseases, bigger, stronger, smarter, ect. Birth defects are horrible, but still I'm not sure I'm all for that idea, but it is the direction we are headed.
And by the way you can never halt the aging process, just repair the damage. Just like a car, it will wear out just from normal use and you can do nothing to stop it, only maintain the parts that wear out. Same with your body and the process of metabolism.
2:49 when you flip a light switch but it was the vacuumed in the sink and you haven’t done the dishes yet
