Huge thanks to Neil deGrasse Tyson and everyone at StarTalk!
It seems easy to know things. The basics of epistemology haven’t changed much since Plato’s time, and we navigate every minute of our lives using a system of justified true belief. If we’re justified in thinking something, that thing is true, and we believe it, then it’s knowledge.
But as Gettier Problems show us, sometimes that justified true belief model just doesn’t work. We can satisfy every condition of JTB and still not know something.
So if that system isn’t reliable, then how can we really know anything at all? It’s a philosophical problem so big that we need Neil deGrasse Tyson to sort it out.
Neil deGrasse Tyson of StarTalk sets the record straight on what knowledge really is. Science, he says, is filled with things we can truly know with confidence. Sometimes they’re things we can count; other times we just hit a limit on how useful knowledge is to humanity.
The way we view knowledge in our collaborative endeavors sets the tone for how we go about life itself -- and puts us in the best possible position to know more and progress with math, science, and humanity.
... and we FINALLY find out whether a hot dog is a sandwich.

And then he shows the actual cat and says "WRONG AGAIN, this is just pixels in the shape of a cat... and even if it wasn't, it's just a group of atoms in the shape of a cat... WHAT IS A CAT!?!??"

A hot dog clearly isn't a sandwich: It uses only one piece of bread, rather than two, and it isn't sliced bread. Both of those would already, individually, disqualify it. (also, who calls hot dog sausages hot dogs? It's not a hot dog, if it doesn't have a bun. The sausage is either a Wiener or Frankfurter)

I love what Neil deGrasse Tyson said about words and ideas. "Ideas matter... more than the words we come up with to describe them." :)
How can two people both be so confident that they’re right when having reached two different conclusions is one of the best questions I’ve ever heard
I’ll tell you how...
People don’t think before commenting in the internet
(Just to be clear I’m not referring to anyone in particular)
The way i see it, truth is only capital t True when all details and relationships are fully and perfectly explained: anything less than the entire universe, 1:1, is only a part of the truth. Being limited creatures, we can only ever understand small parts of the world, and even then mostly in abstract terms. The incomplete pictures we paint individually, even if we were all perfect reasoners, could still seem to conflict with one another just because of missing information.
It's the danger between confirmation bias vs. the scientific method. In the scientific method, people try to prove a hypothesis wrong with clear, conclusive tests and do their best to admit the flaws of their tests. Confirmation bias has a person hearing the same opinion over and over by various sources to the point that it feels true. And honestly, its very easy to muddle the logic because we're flawed emotional monkey people. Lol
How often do two people lack confidence when they happen to arrive at the same conclusion?

One thing he forgot to ask Neil: "Is catsup sauce?"
And then at the end, he could spell the "sauce" in Vsauce with catsup.
Kevin: pulls out cat
Me: goes "awwwwwww" and immediately forgets what the video was about
I pretty much had the same reaction, I said to myself this isn't a cat, but had a feeling their was going to be a cat. Seconds later I shouted "CAT". And forgot about the video
But are we really certain that it is as a cat? Is what we see really what we see? We see a cat, but was it really a cat?
Hence the topic of this video... We see a cat, we believe it's a cat, we believe we know what a cat is, so what he had being a cat must be true, right?
I knew a cat was in this video because of my past experiences with Kevin's videos. When he pulled out the toy cat and said there was a cat in this video, I knew he would soon reveal a real cat

This video is the embodiment of the “well, yes but actually no” meme
Well yes but actually no

Kevin: *Right? WR- Sometimes...*
Me, a veteran subscriber: *uh wait, that doesn’t compute*
Get a quantum computer
Tyson has implicitly defined knowledge as not needing to be perfectly reliable, basically saying we can know things “well enough” to be going about our day as if it’s perfectly reliable. In reality even in cases where we can count things, there’s no way we can 100% rule out the possibility that we’ve consistently miscounted or that the simulation we live in presents to our sense a different number of things than what actually exists.
thats true, but i think really what hes arguing is that it doesnt matter. if i spend my life learning to make chocolate and i build an entire chocolate empire, sure i could be making chocolate completely wrong. everyone watching my simulation could be laughing at what i think chocolate is. or perhaps there could be a better way to make chocolate that no one inows about it. i can never confirm that i may be completely wrong, but does it honestly matter if despite all that, i have a chocolate empire and everyone loves my product?
So, milliseconds before Neil appeared, an ad played for Neil's masterclass, that had to be on purpose right?

Hi! How is North Korea doing?
Kimmy, Neil said the wrong in this video
I'm loving the idea that he really hasn't been outside in 4 months, meaning he already had sheriff cat, and it wasnt aquired just for the bit.
He could’ve ordered it but your probably right
Do you really think he went out and said "yeah, I'm gonna buy a sheriff cat today."
He probably did have it, and wrote the script around it, or maybe he did buy it within the last 4 months, but it would be no different to if he bought it 8 months ago in that he probably just saw it in a shop and thought it looked interesting enough to buy.
Neil has an amazing way of saying true things in very unlikable ways
Thank you! I never want to agree with the guy, but he rarely says something I disagree with.
I was dissatisfied with Neil's initial response as it deflected the actual question and I'd thought that he'd missed the point altogether. Turns out he opted for a pragmatic response to a question rooted in philosophy. Glad he clarified
Definition of a sandwich:
"A non bread food sitting between two surfaces of bread" :B
So you cant have a Bread-Sandwich? :(
Air sandwich?
SF / Bup Toad A knuckle sandwich?
Great, my air sandwich is still a sandwich.
a sandwich inside of a sandwich
This video taught me three things:
1. Hot dogs are sandwiches.
2. Hot dogs are phones.
3. Therefore, sandwiches are phones.
4. Therefore, phones are sandwiches. Therefore you can eat phones.
Even if all hotdogs are sandwiches and all hot dogs are phones, you could have sandwiches that are neither hot dogs or phones, and phones that are neither sandwiches or hotdogs.

"Is it a non-bread food, sitting between two surfaces of bread?". False, Mr Tyson. The bread is uniform, therefore we must conclude that a hot dog is a taco.
“I vowed many years ago to never get in an argument over the definition of a word.”

Neil deGrasse is one of the smartest people ive ever seen, it feels like he knows everything but he is just like any of us, he just knows that he doesnt know everything, but he tries to find the answer by hypothesising and trying to make people discuss it with him.
I wish i could just talk to this man, i wouldnt have important things to say, i dont even have questions i wanna ask him, i just want to listen to everything he has to say.

@@idontcare7961 You clearly are interested in science and scientific methods. You wouldn't be watching this if you weren't and I applaud you for that. Try to disprove your hypothesis with more than one experiment. Get a friend from another country (or even state, if you're in the US) to put a stick in the ground at the same time as you and calculate the shadow length difference.
Get a telescope (or go to an observatory) and look at the other planets. If they are flat, then it's a safe assumption that Earth is flat as well. If they are round, how come they are all facing towards me? Wouldn't someone in another part of the world see an elongated disk? Also, if it's a projection on a dome, then shouldn't more powerful telescopes be just as useless as less powerful ones?
Observe a lunar eclipse. If the moon is obscured by Earth's shadow created by the Sun, then it must mean the Sun is on the other side of the disk. Then how come it's day on some other part of the world if it's on the same side of the disk as you? Otherwise, shouldn't the shadow on the moon look differently?
Also, walking straight from a fixed point in the same direction on a globe Earth and on a flat one should yield different results.
I'm actually impressed by you for trying to prove your belief in the video you posted, but just like the broken clock in the video, you might not know the truth until you do a second or a third observation.

The most crazy and amazing coincidence just happened. The moment the video stopped when he takes the call, right before the instant Neil appears... He appeared, but as a CZcams ad from his Master Class.
And then I realized the video just gave me an example of exactly what it was talking about. I was pretty sure I was about to see Neil, I knew it and believed in it and it was true, I knew it from the video title. But then he appears at the exact right moment in a way I did not expect. (the ad)

@@CaptIronfoundersson you'd still be a joke, but ok
John Lucas The Sun’s not going to explode since it doesn’t have enough mass. It will slowly poison itself with heavier elements, swell up to red giant, cast off the outer shell, which will leave behind a white dwarf. So, what can do here that doesn’t included us moving the Earth to another star?
1- move the Earth out until the Sun passes the red giant stage. Then move the Earth back in close to the white dwarf that our Sun has become.
2 - Or just lift the excess matter and impurities from our Sun so that it never poisons itself and makes can make more efficient use of its hydrogen fuel. Use the heavier materials for whatever we want. Move the Earth in as the Sun becomes smaller. Slowly add back in, the the excess hydrogen that we lifted from the Sun. Then worry about what to do in 5 trillion year, when our red dwarf Sun begins to turn blue.

0:11 _"No one can agree on what knowledge actually is knowledge."_
That is quite a disingenuous way of putting it. That claim implies that most arguments on the internet are educated, sensible arguments on epistemology, when that is far from the truth. In actuality, arguments on the internet are usually between people trying their best to understand something and reason about it on one side, and mass campaigns of disinformation and censorship, and their victims, on the other side.
It's also very hard to apply "justified true belief" to most internet arguments, since most internet arguments are on political topics of one kind or another. And concrete, solid, full information is something unheard of in the world of politics. Truth is we're all operating on very, very limited data, offering us a tiny glimpse at reality, muddied and distorted by the bias of the sources we're using. The only way of actually making sense of it is by looking at it from multiple points of view. Luckily, there are plenty of people on the internet, with lots of points of view. Unfortunately, most of them are not opened to reason. It is by design that things are so, because the internet would allow the vast majority of humanity to reach some form consensus were this not the case.
If there's one thing you take away from this let it be this: Seek not those that agree with you, but seek instead those that disagree with you. Don't be afraid of being wrong. Don't be afraid of talking with those that disagree with you. Don't worry about the people that disagree with you and want to talk with you, be worried about those that agree with you and never want to discuss it.

@@Hartbreak1 I have yet to find a hole in the argument "communication between people leads to better understanding", but I welcome you to try.
@@CristiNeagu
What you describe works when both parties are interested in actually bettering their understanding, but as you say there are many bad actors looking to spread misinformation. Many flat earthers will use the "You should listen to those who disagree" point to defend their baseless viewpoints by pointing at an endless stream of "evidence" that simply takes too long to refute. People who aren't very skilled at critical thought may be more susceptible to misinformation following that advice. I agree that generally we should strive for better communication, but that relies on some base level of critical thinking and cooperation that I just don't think the majority of people will take part in. It's far more exhausting to constantly think and question and refine what you think than it is to unquestionably accept something.
This guy can read a text of gibberish and it still would sound epic and deep.

Pls more of that philosophical stuff!
I friggen love this.
I guess my question is: "What is the difference between squashed circle and an elongated one?".
Maybe if you think about orbital circles a squashed circle would have the bigger mass (say the sun) in the middle of the circle and in the case of an elongated circle, one side would be closer to the sun and the other one farther away. Then the far end would be narrow and the other wide so it's not really "squashed"
Definitions... 😂-gonna avoid that argument
So:
Squashed circle is wider than higher, because it was squashed from up/downside and than it expanded sideways
Elongated circle is wider than higher, because it was pulled on sides, what made it to shrink on the top/bottom
:D
In other words: it doesn't matter, what is the shape, but description can change basing on the process that made the circle differ from regular circle.

Wouldn't squashing or elongating a circle make it both squashed and elongated at the same time? Changing perspectives makes it look like both.
Maybe when you are elongating the circle, the height of the circle doesn't change, and so it is only the width changing.
“Linguistic Dhiarriah” is an actual thing that someone said.
That's not how you say diarrhoea
Do you mean dyerryeaugh?
the word you are looking for is dryerheya....
it's dry area
It’s dijiorno
I was expecting Mr.Tyson to ask "is it a cube?" simply for the humor of it.
"just invent a new category" is always the easiest way to end an argument if you were to ask me.
I agree about not arguing about the definition of a word. If someone sees a word differently than I do and I notice I just ask the to define what they mean the long way and I'll do the same. Then accept whatever definition they give you for that particular conversation,. That way you don't let words stop you from communicating the idea and understanding the other person's idea. It's crazy how many times I've seen people argue the same side of an issue using different words for the same ideas.
I can't stress how much I agree on Neil's take on discussing definitions, I'm so tired of tags, labels, etc. So dumb to argue about that
Windrune it’s fun
CZcams just made me laugh! Just as the phone rang and Kevin said “Hello”, CZcams played a commercial for Hello Fresh. The timing was so perfect that it looked planned 😂
and yet here we are watching you explain knowledge
I need the song that's at the end of this video - imagine waking up every morning and starting your day to that 😂👌🏽
"Free speech is my right to say what you don't want to hear."
--George Orwell.
This is good knowledge.
I asked my food tech teacher, and she said it's not a sandwich because the two pieces of bread are connected. It's actually a taco.
That happens when every dummy thinks they are some sort of expert and eagerly shares their opinion.
Sooo much fun! Wonderful stuff!! I feel better about why people think the way they do that usually bothers me so much! I now wish everyone would absorb this video!
Awsome, it's the first time I watch you, just perfectly
"I'm never going to look at the outcome of this coin flip"
Sounds like we're all wrong in thinking heads OR tails; that's a quantum coin right there.
Schrödinger's Coin.
*OCD intensifies*
If it’s a quantum coin then you’re all right? Unless I don’t understand quantum mechanics at all, which to be fair is completely true
@@aarobec we're all right and wrong at the same time
Anyone who did IB: This is just ToK all over again.
Thank you! I said out loud the exact same thing!
What is ToK?
Diego Rodrigues de Souza Theory of Knowledge. It's the critical study of...everything?
Diego Rodrigues de Souza A Tik👍
However I think the topic was handed poorly and rushed. I got an A on TOK but now I can really barely remembered how to write one and was never truly sure when writing one
I had this conversation before. Knowledge requires validation and, even then, it's not guaranteed to be correct. We've validated things and claimed to know them before, only to later find that we didn't know what we thought we did.
“ Idea matter to me ， more than the words we come up with， to describe them！” that is sharp！
Never mind the hot dogs - the world still needs to come to agreement over whether breakfast cereal served with milk is correctly categorizable as soup.
Thank you for linking the literature in the description, I'll have a ready. I can tell there was so much effort put into this video and it doesn't go unnoticed so thank you so much for that. Also I'm not usually a fan of cat but that little furry thing looks gorgeous.
Vsauce: theres a cat in this CZcams video
me: do you count the toy
Vsauce: NOOOO
What was Luna the cat DOING to him under that table. Thats what I want a scientific discussion about.
In "Truth" I bet the Tyson tool would have the answer to it! . . . . 🤏🧠
"I have nothing more to say". the wisest realization I've ever heard.
