@hamd098 He tell this story again in a different video and he just makes it up. He uses some of the same languages but what he says is completely different.
@mindingosafado Yeah, I know enough Japanese to recognize that he made that one up. I don't know about the others, but they did sound like they could be for real. It's beside the point though, isn't it? Still, fun to think about.
in some other interview he tell's the same story and I noticed that he uses different words for the brown throated truch (or somehting like that) in each interview haha
Respectfully, that is strictly Western thinking. In most cultures names are meant to describe what they're assigned to. In the West names are titles without meaning. For instance when you meet a person named John does it mean anything? Yes, it means "Yah [God] is generous". In English, however, John means John. So yes, you can know a lot about the bird by its name,and you're supposed to. To quote the Ruler of the Army (Walter), "You're out of your element!" Strong Power (Rich) isn't a linguist.
@j2ws2000 Odd choice of example. I know a lot of people named John and knowing that it means god is generous would have told me absolutely nothing about them or their state of being. For more globally applicable names, which I think is what you intended to comment on, as in a name for a bird that means "hooked beak" or "brown bird" or something similar, not sure how fulfilling that type of description is in and of itself as compared to scientific observation.
@goldfloor49 You're missing the point, because that's exactly what I just told you. Indeed your friends who are named John just happen to be so meaninglessly, and there's no significance to it. In other cultures the parents would have selected the name to tell you something about him, their hopes for him, or how they obtained him (perhaps after great hardship he was a blessing to them). For common example "Jesus" means "Yhwh is salvation". As for birds, the names are to describe what they are.
@j2ws2000 I'm just not following your logic and don't agree that what you are describing tells me anything useful about the person at all. You even had to come up with one possibility yourself as to why someone might be named yahweh is salvation (and beginning with "perhaps"). I'm also confused about your initial cultures comment completely because he uses "brown throated thrush," I can think of woodpeckers, eyelash vipers, bluebirds a host of examples of names that have meaning in the west.
I bet Richard Feynman had a great father. His stories about him are interesting. I bet absolutely no fathers or very little are like Feynman's father as Feynman paints him.
@cxrodformrx That is what I thought for the longest time. But sometimes, I do wonder if all his childhood stories are real events or constructs of lessons learned as an adult but applied to his childhood self for a better story. It's hard to fathom that a boy at such a young age can understand the construct of inertia, "uniform", naming, etc. at such a young age.
@hunterbender Well he did win a Nobel Prize for his QED theory, which is pretty much the best unification theory so far that actually works.....The man was a complete genius
Feynman was a living example of what the joy of learning is all about!!!

Some people want young white females to mix with non-white males.
I made a one-minute video highlighting a very tiny sample of race-mixing advertisements.
I love white people, and I am opposed to race-mixing. But I do not hate non-whites.
