Ever since a traumatic event happened for me if I'm not keeping busy with countless projects or hobbies, all my brain produces is TV static and loud crowds of people talking incoherently it's quite tiring. I must always keep busy and it's harder to fall asleep.

2:32 i still do that

It's a small thing but I really wanted to say thanks for that intro (and the bit towards the end) that literally just mentions the concept of aphantasia.

It took me almost 30 years to realize that "Imagine an apple" really does produce actual imagery in the vast majority of people and having it included like this made me disproportionally happy!

2:16, amazing! 4 billion years later and I still do 2/3 of that.

didn't expect a beautiful explanation about how art is an intrinsically social experience that allows you to peek into or at least imagine the universe inside someone else
@
10:44 for those who come after, right?

9:34 Two things: itโ€™s amazing that we can still read the Iliad and the Odyssey, both having originated in the 8th or 7th Centuries BCE. And that shot looks very much like the shot of the Trojans in the teaser for Christopher Nolanโ€™s The Odyssey.

Aqui รฉ do Brasil, vocรชs tem o canal mais impressionante que existe atualmente. Nรฃo precisam de usar nenhum tipo de fake news, clickbait para serem gigantes. Nรฃo espalham pseudociรชncia, o que mais hรก nessa nossa internet. Atรฉ ร s ads sรฃo conscientes sem intenรงรตes para ganharem dinheiro de otรกrio. Parabรฉns a todos os envolvidos e cargos que gerem e auxiliam o canal.

โ€œFor the ones, that come afterโ€
Someone clearly have played Expedition 33.

The octopus distributed brain thing probably "feels" as just one if we think about our own brains, which are made by two independent halves just barely connected, but that makes us feel as just one entity instead of two half humans (for most people)

One of my favorite quotes (and variations thereof) is Elie Weisel's "Some stories are true that never happened." The reference to stories here reminded me of it.

Stories really don't get enough credit. They're not just entertainment, they're not even just art - stories add incalculable depth and understanding to the experience of being human. How they change us makes them all true, whether they're fictional or not.

Did not expect an Expedition 33 reference
@
As a Bee Keeper love their reference. Infact bees knowledge of the landscape is so good that when we do splits/artificial swarms we have to move the bees at least 3 miles away or they will just fly back home again.

They commincate food resources by doing waggle dances as shown in video and the waggle dance uses sun location as a reference.

The different roles of bees. Foragers, guard bees, undertakers, cleaners, refiners etc bees have jobs.

They have a diplomatic discussions on deciding a new hive location when they swarm.

Honey Bees are one of the most amazing creatures on the planet

My network of neurons remembers an intro that came back and disappeared again ๐Ÿฆ†

The appel is rotatable, transparent, and slightly unsaturated
