they never talk about how this can be abbused.

That's not the point of this group, but I see where you're coming from. I think it's important that we all consider very carefully the consequences of scientific power (new and old).

this is a round-up? do these clips have longer videos? links?

[ThompsonSeedless]

Juh! just go to older video.......wow nice research skills, write for newspapers much?...just kidding, thinking about the past is a bit hard now a days

[panickingjuggler]

i did go to their videos, i didn't find them, i saw the one with eagles wings in slow motion but not the ones with the birds mirror neurons, monkey controlling robots with brainwaves or the parasites in ants. i did only check the youtube channel though... maybe they're on the official website? i am a sloth, the internet makes it easy to be, not to mention i think it's our true nature to be lazy once bombarded with alot of the BS that society throws at us.

The round-ups feature some of the best science videos of the week, sometimes there are longer versions of the videos on our channel but sometimes not. We try and put in a few that have not already been featured for our regular viewers.

There are a lot of parasites that "hijack" more complex organisms in order to get eaten by larger organisms.

Or as Dan Dennet as pointed out in his talks (TED), theist memes have done the exact same thing to human brains.
