My thoughts on knowing many things or one big thing. Snatoms: igg.me/at/snatoms Facebook Fraud: • Facebook Fraud Problem with Facebook: • The Problem With Facebook
+Jacob H (MrGAEM) He's not saying everyone should be, he's saying you'd be better off and be more understanding about the world we live in. Fail comment was a fail.
Wow, Im keeping that last sentence, preeeetty cool. "there are only 2 types of people in the world, those who think thats there are only 2 types of people, and those who dont"
+elEd0 It´s also a contradiction in itself, because if the person that says it believes it, he's in the first group. If he doesn't believe it, he would be in the second group but is knowingly telling a lie.
I feel like this very accurately describes why I have such a distaste for the political system in the US. People seem to get stuck in a single political party and allow the party to define all of their opinions rather then define their political party with their opinions.
+Miister Cloud i feel like that's with everywhere, and also the 'do i represent my political ideology or the people?' and most of the time it's their ideology that defines them. they're scared to be called something they're not, just because of what they think of them
I would suggest the reason that this is the case is because we only have a two party duopoly in the US. Third parties find it very difficult to compete nationally, are blocked by ballot access laws, have perpetual a lack of funding, struggle with the electoral college on the presidential level, aren't well known, can't get into debates, have to deal with a FPTP system that punishes competition, etc. As much as I'd like to allow my opinions to define my political party, that'd probably put me in the US Green Party, which is unable to compete without at least federal funding, which it can't get unless it gets 5% in the general election (on the presidential level), which it likely will be unable to get given the current set of barriers to entry into politics. Change--brought about from within the broken system and from the outside--is required. Popular participation in local politics is necessary as well.
Just one question, as I suffer from anxiety disorder, I couldn't help but envy whenever you make these videos/vlogs but instead of being indoors, you choose to actually walk-and-talk with hundreds of people just looking at you as you point that camera to your face and simply vlog. Heck I can barely take a selfie out in the public, before quitting in well under 5 sec before people start staring. I hope you could reply and possibly help me get over my own irrational fears and shyness. (Anxiety and Depression both are fucking up my life since almost 2 years now)
+James Clark i don't really think you being shy of taking a selfie is abnormal. also derek has been doing this sort of stuff for years so of course he's use to it
+James Clark There’s no easy and quick way out. Get professional help. If you can take selfies, do that more often, and try to extend the time little by little. Meditate. I have not solved my similar problems yet, but maybe these suggestions can get you started in some way. There’s a lot of resources online as well. But basically, it comes down to get professional help - someone to guide and support you while you are on your journey.
+Kissaki Thank you, no I have sought to go in therapy just never went through with it, as I didn't want people to think less of me. I just miss being able to be this free as he is, the level of confidence is entirely lost upon me and believe me, I was not even close to like this before. I just wish there was another way to not be crushed under my own paranoia.
+Anna Banana Oh no it's not just with selfies that I was talking about, it's his level of confidence which I really look forward to achieve someday. He's absolutely not suppressive of himself, I hope he'd make another video about it someday.
James Clark i kind of have a suggestion but not really a profound and enlightening one, have you tried going out and doing things by yourself? like going to the movies/restaurants by yourself? i noticed when i started spending a lot of time alone my confidence was very boosted.
I've always admired Derek's filming style. Aside from him, I've never seen anyone so focused on filming. It's really amazing that he can focus on his monologue, show the entirety of his surroundings, ignore yet remain relatively aware of his surroundings, AND look into the camera.
I enjoy these 2veritasium walk-and-talk videos, but when is Veritasium going to have a new upload? It's been over two months. I know you're committed to quality and probably working hard on multiple projects, but come ooooooooon! Too long without a Veritasium video makes me all sad and stuff.
Wow. The last line and the footage you shot immediately afterwards was brilliant. Showing all those different people doing all their different things really demonstrated the point of that quote. I am so grateful you make these videos and that I have found them.
25k friend request! Man you are an inspiration! When I watch these videos on your second channel I truly feel as if we are friends and I feel that you're talking to me personally. You're great Derek and you deserve all the major success you're yielding!
Steven Wheeler Reading someone of the other comments people seem to think it was filmed in New Orleans, so possibly. Derek moves around a lot, so it's hard to make assumptions.
+Valentin Möller New Orleans potholes...you need the ground clearance to avoid trashing your suspension every morning. Small cars don't last long here.
Hey man, just wanted to say your content is very fulfilling! Not just this video but ones like learned helplessness are really thought provoking. I watch alot of CZcams, and I like to think always learn something whilst watching the infinite catalogue of content. But with your videos they like, stick with me, changing how I approach different tasks in everyday life. I think what I'm trying to say is thank you. Thank you for all your hard work!take it easy😃
Really happy to see NOLA in the background. I had the privilege of going there in November last year for a RHYTACC conference and I fell in love with that place. Absolutely amazing!
Where were you shooting? Certainly is in the U.S.; there were also more people looking at the camera than in other locations where you would walk down the street with a camera. I think this kind of videos are very inspirational: thank you!
Thank you! Your videos have progressed over time. You use to ask questions that moved from the perceptual to the intellectual, i.e., you were looking for physical answers, and asking for help and reinforcement from others to concertize ideas that reside ultimately in the conceptual realm of your mind . These kinds of videos have evolved into, from my vantage point, a kind of cognitive defragmentation. I'm enjoying your process of clarifying your mental sauce. This video, and the survivor fallacy, have been engaging! Thank's for vloging your process, it's helping me along the way too!
Wow! What a great video to start my day off with! thank you so much for all the time that you give and all of the insight that you deliver. hope you know that it is appreciated and it is needed.
Great insight! I definitely need to dig a little further into facebook and the likes. Anyway: wonderful spot for shooting your video. New Orleans no doubt! Love that fisheye wide angle lens - one can see what's going on around you - the funny "barrel" distortion is a minor drawback (I actually like the effect) for having everything in focus and a great view! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
Took me awhile to figure out the location, it seemed vaguely familiar at first and by about 2/3 of the way through, I thought it's got to be New Orleans, an appropriate setting for such a presentation. Nice job. We are all faced with navigating between certainty and doubt. Certainty has its benefits--kinda like a habit--doubt on the other hand leaves us open to the potential for change. The notion of "change" itself however maybe an illusion..
I love the walk n talk videos. feels like a real conversation and I'm just waiting for you to finish so I can speak lol. more natural feeling. great job bud.
I really like these types of videos of you walking and talking about life in general. If you enjoy making them I am sure we will enjoy you posting them more regularly :)
Great discussion..gives lots to think about. Really fabulous video, too..and a straight shot, one take? Amazing. I've never seen one of your walk-and-talk videos, but you certainly have a knack for them if this one is an example.
Wow.. This was your most beautiful video. And I particularly don't mind your shaky walking videos. Cause I get to see beautiful places and architecture through your lens. And one more thing that music at the end that got perfectly timed..isn't it?? 😉
What an excellent way to communicate with the world Derek. Definitely and inspiration to people like me, who would like to share their knowledge to the world. I would be shy or terrified to do it. I agree with your openness to be either a fox or hedgehog depending on the situation, keeping an open mind in situation we do not understand allow us to listen and learn about the situation before we take action.
I like how you interact with your surroundings, adds life to the video. By the way can you make a video explaining how future events can affect present time(Retrocausality)?
I like the video when you mix it with talking about your envirnoment . Because it feels like i am chilling out by watching to your video . And i think that was what makes me love ver2 more than ver1 . What i am asking is just to mix the video i makes me happy . Thanks a lot .
People were complaining about your camera videos? I love these! They look natural and personally I don't think you should change anything about them! They're so engaging! Keep making videos like these! All of them seemed fine to me!
This video was in a word moving. I've talked about this before and with a couple of other people; the notion of the 'fear of success', where i inadvertantly centre(d) [
A fan from Nepal here. I usually go to your page to look at the content. makes it easier to know if I've missed out.. also, if you come to Nepal, please post it on Facebook.. we have a lot of Derek and Veritasium fans here
I've never had the opportunity to visit New Orleans. It has the same heft of age that Europe has. Nailed the outro, BTW. It was funny watching you as you saw your opportunity.
You are bang on Target Veritasium when you say that getting to the bottom of things is the most ultimate pleasure in the world and always having a curious eye for things and a sense of wonder gives unparalleled happiness that nothing else can match.
I ended up paying more attention to the surrounding area. 2veritasium is slowly turning into "Sightseeing with Derek" channel. Not that it's a bad thing, I still got your point tho.
I loved the quote in the end and looked it up; you’ve misquoted and added a level of specificity. The quote is “there are two types”, not “there are only two types”. Which brings up the possibility of implying that everyone is multiple types of people and to some extent then, there is only one type. This is the type I feel like I see all the time-more and more I feel like most of us as the same, just to varying degrees.
Thomas Huxley once said, "Try to know something about everything and everything about something." I think that's a very good and healthy way to approach life.
New Orleans is a beautiful place with amazing locals...waaaay underrated... Acadian: je suis acadian Southerner: did you say you's a cajun? Acadian: non, je suis Acadian! Southerner: right, a cajun Acadian: sigh...oui je suis a cajun
Wow Derek... you have some series rings under your eyes... ;-) do you get enough sleep mate? I love your explanation of the approach... I often do the fox thing... and it is so hard to explain to people. I really enjoy watching what happens in the background while listen to you talking. Your input on ... the world and live itself is very inspiring. I like it.
Looks like you're in my neck of woods! Ya'll really should try the mimosa's here. They go great with those early French Quarter walks and Sunday brunches. Gotta say though... you're pretty smart visiting a week or 2 before Mardi Gras.... unless you plan to stay thru Fat Tuesday. In that case, you're pretty insane/brave. One more thing..., New Orleans mornings and red, puffy, "hungover" eyes seem to always go hand in hand :-)
Isn't the point of the fox approach that when needed you can act like the hedgehog and thus effectively by choosing the fox approach you get the benefit of both?
Thank you for the more stable video! My first thought when the video started: "What camera is he using? It's both stable and good at picking up his voice." I'll keep thinking about my decisions, and hopefully remember to be more fox in the world.
I swear I hear 'fucks' every time you say 'fox'
i was just going to comment that 😂
what does the fuck say?ah ahahah ahhhhhhhh ohhhh
+barmiro You beat me lol
+barmiro Same here. I thought he said fucks approach, and then would proceed to count the number of fucks he has to give about Facebook.
+barmiro Yeah he messed up that pronunciation. When he said I thought he said Fucks approach which made me think the shit was about to get real.
Walking through public with a cam pointed at your own face while monologing. Balls of steel mate :)
+here4frags gets old real quick, though :(
+Moritz K It's kind of the point of his second channel though, just random videos that aren't the main projects.
+Moritz K not for me, no. i quite like those videos.
+here4frags Mate he attracted that woman in the beginning, fuck it I am going to do this too!
+here4frags That too in one single shot with perfect background music at the end. Hatsoff :)
The idea that 'everyone should be more fox' is just you being a hedgehog.
Hedgeception
+Jacob H (MrGAEM) Mind = Blown
+Jonathan Limp That moment when you don't want to reject a new idea because the video you just watched said that exact thing ;)
+Jacob H (MrGAEM) He was alluding to that idea by mentioning the guy with the statistical analysis website.
+Jacob H (MrGAEM) He's not saying everyone should be, he's saying you'd be better off and be more understanding about the world we live in. Fail comment was a fail.
Wow, Im keeping that last sentence, preeeetty cool. "there are only 2 types of people in the world, those who think thats there are only 2 types of people, and those who dont"
+elEd0 It´s also a contradiction in itself, because if the person that says it believes it, he's in the first group. If he doesn't believe it, he would be in the second group but is knowingly telling a lie.
+elEd0 samme I wrote it down as well :3
+Javier Ortega I don't think there is any contradiction, i find it to be true regardless of what group you fall into.
+Javier Ortega you're thinking way to hard lmao
It's not a contradiction. It's a paradox. Self referential statements make the best paradoxes! :D
Hahahah i thought you said "fucks approach" at 1:12
+Big Papi same here!
Freebooting? Brady will be pleased.
+velikiradojica I get an eargasm everytime someone say that word
+velikiradojica Maybe, once, brady will pronounce his name right
+velikiradojica Who is this Brady? I don't get it, would someone explain it to me, please?
+Huntracony Please no.
+Micha Sng brady is the one who came up with freebooting in it's current contex, he did so in an hello internet podcast

+Anna Banana I wouldn't have specified just the U.S. but I don't know enough about foreign politics to say it's true elsewhere. (:
Miister Cloud it's not as prominent or explicit as in the us but it definitely happens
I would suggest the reason that this is the case is because we only have a two party duopoly in the US. Third parties find it very difficult to compete nationally, are blocked by ballot access laws, have perpetual a lack of funding, struggle with the electoral college on the presidential level, aren't well known, can't get into debates, have to deal with a FPTP system that punishes competition, etc. As much as I'd like to allow my opinions to define my political party, that'd probably put me in the US Green Party, which is unable to compete without at least federal funding, which it can't get unless it gets 5% in the general election (on the presidential level), which it likely will be unable to get given the current set of barriers to entry into politics.

Nice Sega reference with Sonic the Hedgehog, and his companion Tails the fox.
Derek, we love these videos on your 2nd channel, keep them coming!!
- subscribers
Yup
I've always admired Derek's filming style. Aside from him, I've never seen anyone so focused on filming. It's really amazing that he can focus on his monologue, show the entirety of his surroundings, ignore yet remain relatively aware of his surroundings, AND look into the camera.
I'm more like a sloth if anything
+AlphaOmega I think I'm mostly Golden Retriever, but then on occasion I think there might be some Pit Bull mixed in somehow.
To lazy to give a fuck? xD

Ending with that music was just perfect, it reminded me of Whiplash.
Wow. The last line and the footage you shot immediately afterwards was brilliant. Showing all those different people doing all their different things really demonstrated the point of that quote. I am so grateful you make these videos and that I have found them.
Where did you film this? Looks nice!
Looks like New Orleans
+PussyGalore Specifically, the French Quarter.
+PussyGalore Same question
+PussyGalore Starts on Bourbon Street, ends on Chartres Street, New Orleans.
+PussyGalore It's the taint of the United States - New Orleans.

I love how this video not only tells you interesting things but also shows around some city life :)
I tried that hedgehog tactic while in prison. Never got raped. The costume made of knifes was funny though...
Dark, but funny.
So that's what the fox says. Mystery solved.

Hi, I always love these videos where you get to see the landscape you're walking in, you do it really well.
That mic drop ending the convo into the music outro; just perfect. Let all those thoughts sink in...

+Valentin Möller Americans call THAT a small car.
+faderino99 For some reason I always thought he lived in the UK or something.

+Valentin Möller Hey Valentin! :D Wundert mich aber nicht, dich hier zu sehen! ^^
If Kant or Kierkegaard had had CZcams channels, I imagine they would have done a lot of walk and talk videos.

Where were you shooting?
Certainly is in the U.S.; there were also more people looking at the camera than in other locations where you would walk down the street with a camera.
I think this kind of videos are very inspirational: thank you!
+xja85mac The French Quarter in New Orleans.
+xja85mac I think it is better to use the term "Filming", particularly when it is followed with "US", you don't want to startle people, now do you?
+TopeA8 Yes, I guess you're right! 😉
That finale though! Love these monologues!! Keep up the good work!
I really like these thoughtful wandering videos. The end of this one was perfect!
Who remembers the origin of freebooting? #hellointernetftw
Screw the rules. I'm going to be a badger.
lol remind me of John "Dum-dum-dum-dum Honey Badger!"
ye they are one hell of an animal 😆
Have you ever made a not-interesting video!? Your videos are such a treat. I wall away learning something every time.
Thank you! Your videos have progressed over time. You use to ask questions that moved from the perceptual to the intellectual, i.e., you were looking for physical answers, and asking for help and reinforcement from others to concertize ideas that reside ultimately in the conceptual realm of your mind . These kinds of videos have evolved into, from my vantage point, a kind of cognitive defragmentation. I'm enjoying your process of clarifying your mental sauce. This video, and the survivor fallacy, have been engaging! Thank's for vloging your process, it's helping me along the way too!
I swear it sounds like you're saying "F***S"
A Hedgehog Fox.
A smaller cuter fox with throns
As allways, a really good video that makes me think and reflect. Your walking talk videos are awesome!!!
Wow! What a great video to start my day off with! thank you so much for all the time that you give and all of the insight that you deliver. hope you know that it is appreciated and it is needed.
Are you in New Orleans? Looks like you are in New Orleans. We should meet.
But sonic got the success, tails didn't get squat.
Great insight! I definitely need to dig a little further into facebook and the likes.
Anyway: wonderful spot for shooting your video. New Orleans no doubt! Love that fisheye wide angle lens - one can see what's going on around you - the funny "barrel" distortion is a minor drawback (I actually like the effect) for having everything in focus and a great view!
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
I love these style of videos so much, keep up the good work
Them New Orleans really like the camera.
Took me awhile to figure out the location, it seemed vaguely familiar at first and by about 2/3 of the way through, I thought it's got to be New Orleans, an appropriate setting for such a presentation. Nice job. We are all faced with navigating between certainty and doubt. Certainty has its benefits--kinda like a habit--doubt on the other hand leaves us open to the potential for change. The notion of "change" itself however maybe an illusion..
You really looked worked up! Stay healthy Derek!
and that jazz at the end, enticing!
Thanks Derek, I know these are rhetorical, but you explained alot with your fox analogy for me. I'm alot happier now... thanks
I love the walk n talk videos. feels like a real conversation and I'm just waiting for you to finish so I can speak lol. more natural feeling. great job bud.
I love these videos where you walk around, thanks, never had a problem with shakiness but the camera seems pretty good :)
That ending though… that was awesome!
I really like these types of videos of you walking and talking about life in general. If you enjoy making them I am sure we will enjoy you posting them more regularly :)
Great discussion..gives lots to think about. Really fabulous video, too..and a straight shot, one take? Amazing. I've never seen one of your walk-and-talk videos, but you certainly have a knack for them if this one is an example.
I love the walking down the street approach. Especially the random interactions! Really spices things up;)
Thank you for helping me integrate different view points in a thoughtful way.
Wow.. This was your most beautiful video. And I particularly don't mind your shaky walking videos. Cause I get to see beautiful places and architecture through your lens. And one more thing that music at the end that got perfectly timed..isn't it?? 😉

I've never had the opportunity to visit New Orleans. It has the same heft of age that Europe has.
Nailed the outro, BTW. It was funny watching you as you saw your opportunity.
Thanks, Derek, for another brilliant video!
Good thoughts, Derek. By the way, the stabilization worked like a charm. Smooth movement.
Really nice vlog, technique- and concept-wise flawless.
I Waited so long for a video. Thank you.
Great content. And I also appreciate a tour of a city that I've not yet visited.
I, for one, enjoy these videos.
Such a nice spot to film at! Love it!
You are bang on Target Veritasium when you say that getting to the bottom of things is the most ultimate pleasure in the world and always having a curious eye for things and a sense of wonder gives unparalleled happiness that nothing else can match.
I really like these inner monologue videos.
Very good. Eggs and baskets also come to mind.
Its been 7 years since you upload these walk and talk videos. Apart from science and engineering stuffs we want these too. @Veritasium
Great video Derek, I really enjoy what you do here and in your main channel. I hope you're doing well. (:
You have some of the best videos. Thanks
I love this concept of video! Great job and very interesting!
I forgot about the word "dichotomy" but now it is renewed in my vocabulary. Thanks man!
I ended up paying more attention to the surrounding area. 2veritasium is slowly turning into "Sightseeing with Derek" channel. Not that it's a bad thing, I still got your point tho.
YO! You're back!
Wooo...THAT! Was Deep!!
:D Gerardo - London
I loved the quote in the end and looked it up; you’ve misquoted and added a level of specificity. The quote is “there are two types”, not “there are only two types”. Which brings up the possibility of implying that everyone is multiple types of people and to some extent then, there is only one type. This is the type I feel like I see all the time-more and more I feel like most of us as the same, just to varying degrees.
Thomas Huxley once said, "Try to know something about everything and everything about something." I think that's a very good and healthy way to approach life.
someone once told me that I should listen to learn not to respond, and since then I have done this without realizing it.
New Orleans is a beautiful place with amazing locals...waaaay underrated...
Acadian: je suis acadian
Southerner: did you say you's a cajun?
Acadian: non, je suis Acadian!
Southerner: right, a cajun

So cool seeing my hometown in a Veritasium video! Geaux New Orleans!
Wow Derek... you have some series rings under your eyes... ;-) do you get enough sleep mate? I love your explanation of the approach... I often do the fox thing... and it is so hard to explain to people. I really enjoy watching what happens in the background while listen to you talking. Your input on ... the world and live itself is very inspiring. I like it.
“The fox knows many things , but the hedgehog knows one big thing .”

Just keep doing what you do. You are well versed, smart and interesting. People will find you. Thanks
Great video as always. But more importantly, did you get her number?
Looks like you're in my neck of woods! Ya'll really should try the mimosa's here. They go great with those early French Quarter walks and Sunday brunches.
Gotta say though... you're pretty smart visiting a week or 2 before Mardi Gras.... unless you plan to stay thru Fat Tuesday. In that case, you're pretty insane/brave. One more thing..., New Orleans mornings and red, puffy, "hungover" eyes seem to always go hand in hand :-)
Nicely timed environmental outro. :D
+2veritasium can you explain the physics why the edges are seemed to be bent in your video? i.e the background seems to be bent at the edges.
"are you sneeking up behind me?" -"yeah, why not?" lmao
Isn't the point of the fox approach that when needed you can act like the hedgehog and thus effectively by choosing the fox approach you get the benefit of both?
The trick is to know when you need what.
Did you film this with a GoPro? There is some serious fisheye.
Thank you for the more stable video! My first thought when the video started: "What camera is he using? It's both stable and good at picking up his voice." I'll keep thinking about my decisions, and hopefully remember to be more fox in the world.
Love the philo in this vid and I have always liked the walkie talky videos. If your looking for stabilization. 2 words. Gimble mount
Super Superb Insights!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
