- Modern culture assumes a constant upward progression; that things just naturally get better and nicer and more technologically improved over time. The Second Law of Thermodynamics teaches the opposite; that order will descend into chaos and decay. So where does technological and cultural improvement come from? How do we get order out of chaos?

WHO'S GONNA MAINTAIN THE BOATS??!!

We will, Mr Goggins!
LETS GO
Man, I am so disappointed that I did not think of that joke. It is so good.
YOU DONT KNOW ME SON
It took me half the video to figure out what point you were trying to make, but when it clicked, it really clicked.
If you don’t use it, you lose it!
@@Model_Student The Fall of Rome resulted in a large loss of knowledge and tech, including the pottery wheel and how to build roads.

@@John-lz3hf Its not that the fall resulted in the loss of knowledge. Its that the knowledge wasn't immediately valuable and was forgotten... and forgotten temporarily because that knowledge was written down and secured somewhere.
@@OspreyKnight It was written down and secured somewhere that was destroyed DURING THE FALL OF ROME!
IT WAS THE FALL THAT RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF KNOWLEDGE!
Isaac's videos always end up being worth the time.
Building boats is the long game for T.Rex Arms
Great message, Isaac! Wasn't expecting anything like this, but a good reminder for all. Small, but continual improvements is what it takes to be better men and women!
Sadly Bill Nye is just a political scientist now.
Unlike scientists, comment shills, or youtubers....SCIENCE is apolitical. No matter who conducts the experiment, if the result is the same, that is science.
Thanks for the motivation.
When I saw the thumbnail i didn't know what to expect, but man I'm glad about the turn it took.
Keep spreading the word of God in every video!
And that last shot with the white bead floating up from the blue ones wad great!
Post-credit scene is worth the watch. Good job guys
Fun fact. Scientists have learned A LOT more about the human body, especially genetics, over the last 30 years. Not too surprising that a 30 year old clip that massively over simplifies genetics got it wrong.
This was fantastic! Thanks Isaac
Didn’t have much interest in this channel at first but this recent stuff has really surprised me. Keep it up!
I appreciate good science!
was not expecting a sermon, but I'm here for it
I wasn't sure what kind of content to expect when I subbed to this channel, and this one caught me off guard. Terrific presentation, very well thought-out. Y'all make terrific holsters that make my EDC easier and more functional, but your core values are what really set you apart. Thank you for everything you've done with your company.
I love how Isaac completely tears down Bill Nye, shows what the real lesson is, and then uses Bill Nye as a very example of entropy and decay itself. 🥰😍 All in under 12 minutes. What a master class in teaching and communication.
Technically, he's still wrong. Work doesn't "beat" entropy, it actually creates more of it due to inefficiencies in the process. As an EXTREMELY simplified example, consider a bouncing rubber ball. If we drop it from a set height, it will never achieve the same height as the energy of the system is lost to both heat and sound. You can pick up the ball and return it to its original height, but in the process, you are also performing mechanical work and are losing energy to inefficiencies in the process. Technically speaking, anything you do (including this conversation) is going to cause entropic losses, and it's honestly kind of silly to ascribe moral value to entropy, because if it's "evil," then evil wins in the end.
You Sir, have hit the nail on the head.
I used love watching Bill Nye the Science Guy. But now he is a living example of "Entropy". Really great vid.
Bill nye is a woke idiot.
I’m a type 1 diabetic… today I went to my doctors appointment after putting it off for a while, and things were okay… but not as great as I had hoped. I gained weight and my blood sugar control wasn’t as good as I wanted to be… and it hurts knowing that these setbacks are a result of my own inaction and refusal to take responsibility for my own health. I have allowed the most important thing in my life to entropy… but Issac is correct here, even in nature there are second chances. This was exactly what I needed to hear right now. Growing strong and preserving that which preserves life itself takes work and energy, but in the end it’s always worth it. I’m going to correct my mistakes, and undo the entropy that I have allowed to set in while I still have the time, energy, and strength to do it so I can preserve my life and see to it that my legacy isn’t a graveyard full of boats.
Thank you Issac, and thank you T. Rex Arms.
I could have bought a fully assembled AR-15. But instead, I bought every small part so I would learn how to build one. From Scratch.
It's always nice not to have a paper trail for the enemy to follow.
@hendo337, unless you bought everything under the table their is always a paper trail. Posting comments on the net their is a trail.
Doing the Philip Luty method? Burma rebels method?
And now you have a Frankenstein rifle that works sometimes. Great!
You built it from small, manufactured parts. That design and effort and worth congratulating - you did not however build it from scratch which would be making each component from the raw materials.
Fun story, my fifth grade teacher went to meet Nye at a convention and took pictures with him. She thanked him for his work and said that her students loved his videos. His response was to stare blankly at her and say “…okay.” He was rude and stand-offish to everyone and acted like he didn’t want to be there.
It didn’t come as a surprise to me years later when people started figuring out what a douchebag Nye is.
My sister is airport security and met him once. Said the exact same thing. What a monumental jackass he was.
Lol, I just posted a similar comment. I really couldn't believe the level of asshatery. Everyone in the restaurant was just watching the thing play out like a train wreck.
"Saw Bill Nye at a fancy restaurant some 25+ years ago when he was a local celebrity in Seattle. He was soaking up the attention, holding court with his subj-- er, friends, I guess they were, and being a total dousche to the staff. Disappointing, but I did always appreciate the show. Then again, I was a kid.
Fast forward, and I saw the Netflix show "...Saves the World". Sounds *pretty* douchey, but that tracks from what I knew, so I gave it a shot anyway. Couldn't make it through an episode. If anyone wants to see what kind of man ego makes..."
You may not see this Isaac, but this has come as a weirdly good time for me, spiritually speaking. There's been a sitting and waiting for things to get better, and waiting on God to move. But I should be doing that work. Thanks brother. I appreciate you.
It's kind of like fighting a battle, when you go in, you have no idea who will win. But you have to keep fighting your best even if it looks like your side is failing. Because God is in control of who wins the battle, and he is pleased with people who trust him to win the battle for them. People who are not cowards, but are there out of love, respect, and obedience toward their (godly) leaders. People who will give their lives to protect their loved ones, those under their care. Fight on brother.
Tons of videos out there about emergent behavior of structures, of "order", from many many particles obeying very simple rules. Imagine the structures that will form from far more complicated rules, rules such as highly coupled enormous systems of nonlinear partial differential equations. (PDEs) And, strictly, entropy has nothing to do with "order", as there does NOT EXIST some well-defined quantitative definition of order. Even check wikipedia: it defined entropy as as a measure of energy NOT available to do work. (Of course, entropy and energy have different unit, hence, why "as a measure of" is in there)
I'm of a slightly older cohort than you kids, I grew up with the rather irascible Mr Wizard, and was largely educated by the generation who's degrees were funded by the GI bill in the wake of WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. I never cared for Bill Nye, I thought his content was generally pretty basic, and also that he underloaded concepts a lot in order for his presentations to get his points across, often to a level where the presentation had little or nothing to do with his point. The density beads demo does a lot more to support your point than Nye's.
It was nice in early middle school, notably when it wasn’t political and meant a break from true classwork lol. That was really about it though.
Nye is a quack, just a TV presenter. His density beads example is laughably poor.
Mr. Wizard was great. I always looked forward to those episodes.
@@Ramser03idk if I’d call a guy with a MechE degree from Cornell, several authored patents with Boeing/NASA, and a successful career getting kids into science, a quack
@@Courtesyflush52 Education does not make one wise or right. FWIW (not very much), I'm an edumacated Electrical Engineer with 23+yrs in my field. I've seen a lot of dump people with advanced degrees. I try not to be one of them.
Your content just keeps getting better and better. Thank you for being unashamed of your faith. We need more folks in the fight against pseudoscience.
Not understanding something doesn't make it pseudoscience. And denying god's handywork is pretty cowardly.
Don't tell a carpenter he couldn't have made his work because you don't recognize the tools he used.
@@OspreyKnight "Don't tell a carpenter he couldn't have made his work because you don't recognize the tools he used."
Does this essentially boil down to "believe all claims, because there might be some tiny possibility they are true"? Like should we just never call someone on their BS?
@@libertyprime9307 You're trying to make the "No true scotsman fallacy".
Its one thing to call BS when you know some basics and fundamentals.
When you call BS because you are totally and often willfully ignorant of the fundamentals, you're a fuck who needs to learn before wasting everyone's time with your ignorance.
If you'll notice I wrote "because you don't recognize the tools he used"
This implies a a claim made out of ignorance, not disagreement.
You have no idea how much this has helped me........thank you and God bless.
Great video. I had the same thought process which is that structure takes work whereas chaos is the easy road.
I’m loving the thoughtfulness of this channel. 👍🏻
I do not normally comment on videos. I just wanted to let you guys know that I really appreciate this video. There’s not many companies left that are willing to share and post thoughts like this. To many are afraid to share truth because it could hurt their bottom line. Makes me an even bigger supporter of T Rex Arms!
One of the best videos on CZcams and the best advice at the end. God bless this channel.
Trex Labs put on their Vsauce jacket for this one
Isaac you are the older brother that we didn’t know we needed, thanks for this kind of content!
I just wanted to say although TREX LABS hasn't quite gained the popularity as TREX ARMS(YET!) the information you provide on the various topics have been invaluable and slept on. Thank you for integrating the aspects of Modern technologies into perspective that's simplified and available to us, that enhance our arsenal of knowledge to be better prepared and equipped. #knowledgeISPower
It is sad to see what Nye has devolved to as moral entropy takes it's toll.
Well said, sir. You never disappoint. Thank you for your time that you put into the videos. God Bless you and yours.
Excellent storytelling. The biblical tie in at the end wasn't just the cherry on top, but the whole sundae. I find it interesting too that we are the boats - vessels decaying over time in the sun in the war against gravity. But internally, we are the tree growing out of the ruins of the boat - not just our offspring and the passing of skills and values to our next of kin, but as spiritual beings fighting against the decay of self interest. A resurrection of sorts.
Incredible content.
Damn this shit is brilliant. Love that Bill Nye has become a bizzare psuedo scientist sophist trying to machiavelli his way into turning entropy into a pathology toward not asking questions, accepting the chaos, and assuming that all of these fundamental changes to our way of living are OK.
5:40 Moral Entropy… I have painfully learned that is the key problem with strict Libertarianism - eventually others liberty to decline morality and values leads to a decline of values in society and liberty of others.
Lol you want the state to enforce morals? Plenty of countries do that. My guess is you don't want to live in any of them though.
@@jlee8348 I think every country enforces morals, and any country that did not, would be not worth living in. "You shall not steal" is a moral that every country enforces, AFAIK. You get the idea, I trust.
@@jlee8348 All laws "legislate morality," as libertarians often put it. When you tell people they are not allowed to murder other people, that's legislating morality. The only questions are, whose morality and to what degree?
I'm an evangelical Christian and a constitutional conservative with libertarian leanings. I believe, as the Founders did, that government is always bad, but it's a necessary evil. Government should be as small and weak as possible while still being able to protect our God-given rights. It's a delicate balance that requires constant fine-tuning and eternal vigilance by a moral, educated, and well-armed populace.
Well said.
@@rickh9396 Not all the founders. In fact, some of them disagreed quite vehemently with each other over many things. For better or worse, we have ended up in a heavily urbanized, industrialized, capitalist society that is heavily weighted towards materialism and consumption. Not all of the founders wanted such a society. We could have taken an entirely different path and pursued an agrarian culture. Surely much of this modern world is inevitable, but the society around it, its culture, its structure and its values would have been very different.
Or, maybe not. Who knows. Regardless, the founding of this nation was not neat and tidy and foreordained or masterfully planned and implemented. The further we get from the founding, the more legendary those events are seeming to become.
I know I’ve found the best holster company when one of your videos reminds me of homeschool Abeka science class essay questions🤣🤣🤣
Keep it up! 🇺🇸
Absolutely fantastic video, I’ve been loving the stuff lately from this channel.
Bill Nye the Atheist guy.
Aka the most logical that isn't mythology at the end of the day........
Zac Lee
Oh no an atheist 🫨
science isnt anti christian, jews in science are. The greatest scientific minds have often been godly men of christ
Hes more of an antitheist.
Ahh yes, entropy...my old friend. I clean my dished, but i still have more dishes to do later.
Order and chaos are concepts that are not even objectively defined.
Some people would argue raw nature is chaos and a civilized bustling city is order.
Other people would argue a city is chaotic, and nature is peaceful and in order.
The goalposts can be completely flipped based on opinion, and not even a moral one.
Saying things like gravity or physical properties of the universe exist in such a way that we and our world came to be is infinitely less likely compared to us and our world existing as they are *because* of universal properties that existed long before us.
Legit the best comment here. It's so strange how Isaac is calling things "order" as though that's not a totally subjective claim.
You can frame anything as order or chaos in order for the conclusion you like, to follow from it.
Right. This video’s thumbnail is complete clickbait. Then the dude talks about “moral” entropy (which has absolutely nothing to do with entropy) and is therefore arguing against something Nye never said.
This is just a way for him to get clicks and have people his audience bash a celebrity they already dislike.
Magnificent. Superb point about the design required to create the floating bead "experiment." Superb point about the boats decaying once the craftsman was no longer maintaining them. Superb point about how even in an open system, the energy flowing in will only more quickly decay and degrade non-living things.
Just wait until you realize the actor dolph lundgren is 6X more qualified to be called "the science guy" than bill nye.
Dolph Lundgren is more qualified to be the science guy then 99% of human beings lol
I love where you’re going with this channel! SUBSCRIBED!
Some days you get what you want, and others you get what you need. I needed this video today, thank you for the motivation.
Probably one of my favorite videos you’ve put out!
Isaac, you're amazing. Telling stories and making points so simply and eloquently.
I'm lucky enough to be on a career break and so had the time to meditate on the nature of 'work' while i was at a festival and concluded it was the battle against entropy. That we must continue to work just to maintain our health and body, to stay where we are and to stave off decay. That it didn't matter how rich you are, there is always infinite work to do.
I like that you’re taking back the phrase “doing the work” it’s been hijacked for a while by people who don’t know what work is and think it’s complaining about things you don’t understand.
A good call to action, thanks for this!
Turn off the distractions and focus.
I’m kinda communicating with myself here, I’m going to detach my carburetor and boil in an acidic solution.
I was lazy and didn’t drain the gas two years ago, all gummed up and not getting fuel.
Learning from videos and applying it today.
I dunno what this channel is, but I'm sick of Bill Nye lying to everyone and had to click. Good video, thanks.
This is maybe the most profound video I’ve seen in a long time. Way cooler than a sweet holster or how to shoot faster. Thank you guys for believing in something greater than clicks or gear. Keep the faith. Fight the good fight. God bless you guys!
You really rocked the boat with this one lol.
Thank you, Isaac!
Damn, didn’t expect Issac to look me in the eyes and call me out like that.
Entropy has a specific (mathematical?) definition, and it is the measure of the amount of microstates per macrostate. The more microstates there are that can represent a given macrostate, the more entropy that macrostate has. The 2nd law of thermodynamics is that systems in thermal equilibrium takes on the macrostate which has the largest number of microstates.
For example, gas molecules that fill the entire container will have many more microstates than if the gas molecules are all clumped to one corner of the container leaving the rest of the container a vacuum. When the gas molecules are clumped together, there is less space per molecule, and therefore fewer configurations per molecule thus fewer microstates. For a gas that fills a container, each molecule has more space - it can be at one end of a container or the opposite or anywhere in between, each position representing a different microstate. This gets compounded as you start including other molecules and their own available configurations.
An analogy is there are more permutations per combination in rolling ten 6-sided dies than rolling ten 3 sided dies. Each dice represents a molecule, and each side represents a state. The dice with more sides is like the molecule that has the freedom to exist in any location of a larger container, whereas the dice with fewer sides is like the molecule that is confined to a smaller container. Combinations represent macrostates while permutations represent microstates.
God bless you, Isaac. Thank you for making this video and sharing the convictions of your heart. And for pointing out the blatant lie being spouted at the very end...
A child understanding is simple and so explanations for a child are simple. Men should understand more than a child.
Which show is made for which audience? And what level of understanding do you have child?
Negentropy is the word for things becoming more orderly. It takes constant work, but each action can be small. Walking from the kitchen to the garage to leave? Take the opportunity to empty the kitchen garbage or to carry that screwdriver you used from the kitchen counter back to the tool chest. Going to the office? Take the stairs and get in a little cardio on your way. Park at the back of the parking lot to get in extra steps. Listen to an audiobook on your drive. There are lots of ways to take small actions that add up over time to fight entropy. Great video. Thanks.
I really appreciate you guys making this video
That was absolutely outstanding. Thank you!
Quite a bit different than most your vids bro. Very theoretical and implied. I like it. Wouldn’t mind seeing more like this.
I don't think you understood the point Bill was making. I am not sure what you thought he was saying, but I think he was just saying that we can be tricked into thinking certain things even with very clear visual/physical evidence. His point was that we need to continue to use science to understand our world, lest we be tricked and wronged. I don't think he was trying to explain entropy or make a point about it at all. Someone link me full context if I am missing something outside of the clip.
Amen, sir. We are imperfect slivers of a mighty intellect no matter ones belief or faith. Mankind is burdened with the horrible knowledge we are capable of greatness and creation, but as to our individual lives its time ill-attended is limited.
God directs us to work hard, strive for order and honor Him by creating future generations.
Be a light shining in darkness, and thank you for this video.
It's always fun watching people telling me what I need to know, bless their hearts. 😊
Amen Brother, such an excellent explanation
Great video, great message, great human being... thank you.

Thank you TREX Labs. Love you guys.
Absolutely fantastic Isaac. Spot on
I didn't realize that it was possible to do a badass walkway from a pop bottle.
I was watching the video and I realized at 3:25 the windshield on the v-hull boat in the middle is the piece I need for the boat I’m restoring that is exceedingly hard to find, where I’ve been having no luck with acquiring lol
Great video! I teach 12 grade Apologetics at a Christian school and will be using this in class.
I loved that tongue in cheek "LEFT to it's own devices". 😂
Is it just me or did bill nye seem like he was lying since his visual aide was anything but "surprising" and he seems to be biased?
Bill’s demo is a good example of religious faith: Just because you can’t see something, it doesn’t mean there’s not a power _you can’t understand_ that’s moving things toward a higher purpose.
Who knew Bill would give a false reporting 🙄
Order does not come out of chaos, as demonstrated by the example. The example has an absolute order imposed upon it, called physics. Each particle within the system obeyed the rules of physics at all times, it only _appeared_ to be chaos, it was not. The mere fact there are highly regulated 'beads' in a hyper specific solution impugns the very premise there is chaos.
I really really like this channel.
First and most important question. How many ticks?
yes
Such an interesting visual by Nye. It is so easily pointed out that it was ordered chaos to create chaos. So when is Trex Sails starting up? 😂
Bill nye was a driving factor for my interest in learning i hate to see how much society has imposed their views and he has conformed to try and stay relevant
Thank you for the perspective 🙏
Wow this is exactly what I needed to hear
That was awesome. Great message.
Awesome jab there at the end.
Bill Nye used to run a show targeted at teaching kids *very* simplified scientific concepts. Now he runs a show aimed at teaching adults more nuanced, more detailed, less simplified scientific concepts. TREX LABS and the Botkin family, it seems, prefer the worldview made for kids. Turns out that pretty neatly sums up their moral positions, too. Being a grown-up requires more of us.
Saw a perfect example of this whole concept the other day. There is an island in Charleston harbor that houses a fort called Castle Pinkney, it has been abandoned for decades and has mostly washed away some estimate that the shoal will be gone by the end of this decade and the once mighty fortification by the end of the next. Another example is a beautiful ship named The Spirit of South Carolina, she is all but abandoned left moored to the dock to waste away whilst the owners decide her fate.
This video perfectly illustrates why grandfather Nurgle is a fundamental and inescapable force and probably the strongest chaos god.
This video shows that the grotesque world of Warhammer is fated without the gods of law and order.
I loved that video y’all. And I appreciate T-Rex arms taking its stance on these subjects.
This is the best motivational video I have EVER seen
This has to be my favorite T. rex labs
Well done Isaac and team, well done!
This was really great. Thank you
Please make more theologically and philosophically significant videos like this. Enjoy the stuff on worldview and the presuppositional grounding of the principles and practices y’alls company stands for. Thanks! :)
Excellent video! Great insight! Keep it up brother!
Really enjoyed the trailer of this video too… also grew up enjoying the Bill Nye content on Saturday mornings (less eccentric than Beakman’s World perhaps - but that was also interesting)!
Really digging this channel.
