Let's Talk About Perspectives, MSM, Opinions, Video Essays and Comedy

in #psychology7 years ago

While I was browsing through YouTube for educational material I stumbled upon this epic hilarious but also very intelligent unintended comedy clip. I don't know if this was a real video created by BBC or a fake fun. This video is the only video uploaded by the channel. But even if it was fake, that doesn't reduce the awesomeness in the video. It's actually my favorite kind of comedy. It uses logic, reasoning and it is a bet on individual's intelligence. The more you pick it apart and
understand, the more you will appriciate the joke.

It'd be nice if someone could confirm whether BBC actually aired this joke. I'd also like to add a another something to the mix. AZTECS!!!

Just imagine that flute playing with the image of an angry SJW next to the above comedy clip. That would be seriously epic and even build an accurate atmosphere.

On a more serious note


Following is one of the best TED Talks ever. If you guys still have many friends who still frequent legacy social media, you could try one more time with the below video. As for those who are already on STEEM blockchain I'd like to give you some bright hopes fore the future.

My first bright hope is http://maidsafe.net which is one hell of an ambitious project that is even older than Bitcoin. Yes. You heard that right. Bitcoin came after MaidSafe which aims to build a new internet. MaidSafe isn't another blockchain project. It's a new infrastructure project. Think about ARPANET which came before the internet we know today. If MaidSafe delivers, then the current internet will become another ARPANET. Net-Nutrality be damned. Nobody is going to be enforcing stuff on MaidSafe. They are already on Alpha 2.

The next one is BAT. You probably already know about this. It's one of the strongest crypto projects and they finished their ICO in 30 mins. It is from the creator of JavaScript and the co-founder of Mozilla and Firefox. BAT doesn't collect your DATA for advertisements. At least they don't do it centrally. Instead they keep all the DATA in your device and when they serve you ads, you get 70% of the revenue from the ad for yourself.

Let me say that again. If a somebody spend $2 to make sure that you view a certain ad, you will receive $1.40 because if you didn't consent to view ads, nobody can make a buck out of those ads (at least when you keep thing ethical). On top of that, they have Brave Browser which block other non-paying ads saving your money and time. At least go to this site and look at the benchmark results: https://www.brave.com

Obviously you don't want to waste your time on CNN etc. But the main point is LOOK AT HOW MUCH RESOURCES IT TAKE TO USE THESE "FREE" SERVICES!!!

Brave saves you cash. The average mobile browser user pays as much as $23 month in data charges to download ads and trackers -- that’s $276 a year. Brave blocks ads and trackers, so you don’t pay for them.
Even if you have an unlimited mobile data plan or browse exclusively on desktop, you end up paying because your information and time have value

You can compare that $23 with Netflix which is just $7.99 or just $11.99 for the best option. Imagine the value of that $8-12 USD content. Netflix is spending $8 Billion USD on Original content for 2018. Their 2017 revenue was only $11.692 Billion USD. You can gain that + content that took several hundred billion USD to produce for $8-12 USD upfront and have a great time. Sure the data costs would be massive for you. But at least those costs would be for something you value. It's not infringing on your privacy and it's not wasting your time like this:


A Must Watch Piece on Video Essays


Sometimes I just have something I want to say and then I find it online written or recorded by somebody. This is one such instance. There is a passive aggressive shot fired at Nerdwriter who now has over 2 million YouTube subs. He does make some excellent videos but he also try to push some commie propaganda. The problem is he makes it look like both of these different kinds of content objective. This is only a single case and I've always believed that taking an umbrella is the right thing to do instead of trying to cover up the sky. Nobody is taking Flat Earthers seriously and that's not because they are censored or anything. It is simply because people know better.

The reason I don't buy commie propaganda is because I know better. So learning to approach Video Essays as a medium that could be both objective and subjective and even outright dumb blabbering at different moments is important.

BBC on Facebook


MSM has no dignity. They go with whatever that's selling. It seems Trump Bashing sells and in the process (in typical MSM/SJW fashion, they've backstabbed one of their own.

"[To revolutionize society] you certainly don't have to convince the majority of the public, because most of the public will follow anything that happens."

Since I started with a Smart & True comedy, I'll end with TWO

Big BAT fan, it has alot of potential....anything with a workig product right now has potential.

I see BAT attracting plenty of people I see SOLA attracting people I see STEEM attracting people...this is inning 4 (the start of) for the crypto world.

Don't forget MaidSafe(older than Bitcoin), Monaco (https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@vimukthi/monaco-review-fundamental-analysis-why-i-think-it-s-the-best-and-why-bankers-should-be-afraid) SONM, WTC 9this one is going to be cheap at $50) and Substratum. If it manage to deliver, Utrum could be really great too.

Phuhh one of the best teds talk I ever watched ,like to see more iof these,now that I know where bat stands for I got an interesting perspective ,instead getting sold out and getting nothing in return you will get payed for your attention.

That whistle though...

Also, question on BAT: do you need to hold the coin in order to benefit from using brave and generating ad revenue?

Yes, I read BAT's F.A.Q. and roadmap... Though the concept may be nice, the solution is still a mystery for me !

No. You just need to view their ads. You only need to hold BAT if you want to advertise or us it to reward content creators or buy stuff with BAT.

Social medias are cheating on our personal datas. This is well known from the beginning of web 2.0.
Did users turn away from them ? No at all...

Now the facts disclose that they are also cheating on our private datas !
Will users turn away from them ?
Not at all : everybody will trust in fake forgiveness / pseudo mea-culpa.

What's really going to turn people away from MSM is just having a better product. Ethics didn't stop whale killing; the oil industry did. Global warming concerns won't kill oil, solar panel tech will.
