This sounds like a university thesis project. Seriously, I guess a lot of us Canadian's that AREN'T massively influenced by the mainstream media are actually able to comprehend the English language and said meaning. In other words, this proves Canadian's are far more intelligent then most on the whole.
Excellent point. I often wondered about this topic myself and must say, that you put it very well... Unlike me, since I spend most of my time trying not to get stabbed during a word-meaning argument.
Oh man. I took TOK just like you and thought this was brilliant. Very good observation, way of presentation, and execution. Hope you got an A on this project!
I heard punctuation... Disliked... For a ripoff it's bad, at least BF3 was a good ripoff, one that did stroke my cock instead of looking somewhere to a spec slightly to my right, oh balls.
Yes, I am befuddled by how this is a Year 12 subject?! Back in my day, we were still playing with lego blocks in Year 12. And I mean the duplo ones. The others were reserved for College credits.
yahtzee is not a reviewer...he's a bloody comedian, he is funny and good at what he does, but what he does is not review, honestly I've seen better reviewers on pornhub.
@lolzomgz1337 Technically, your right, he isn't a "reviewer" persay. Hes a critic. He has opinions and dissertations on the given subject, all of which valid and educated conclusions from a critiquing standpoint. He only loses credibility through meeting out his "review" with extremely exaggerated analogies and comic appeal. The points still have merit, they're just represented in an out-there kind of way. Being a critic, not a reviewer, his bottom line is all he needs to deal with
@7CellarDoors Honestly, the validity of his points go out the window when he starts talking about things which, in all honesty, simply don't happen/aren't there.
@lolzomgz1337 Not sure if your talking about hard leftwing embellishments, or when he ball-facingly lies through his teeth to get a point across. Both are true, I guess.
But I will say that of all the games hes critiqued that I personally own/played, he has been right on the money with all of them.
@lolzomgz1337 Which is why he doesn't like being called a Reviewer. Hes a Critic :/
Look at it this way. If a game is shit but has some good points, a reviewer is obligated to mention them, and incorporate them into his final judgement. A CRITIC, on the other hand, gets straight to the point, the game was shit, it will be called shit, and ridicule is all it deserves in the grand scheme.
Personally, I prefer Critics over Reviewers. They're just more down to earth.
"Current day Einstein" seems appropriate for this man. If one individual has the potential to keep ME entertained and interested, well by God, he should be a professor at Harvard, or any University for that matter.
Ugh, can't get away from IB crap even on youtube (that's not an insult for the style of the video, more than anything the insult was for the reason it was created).
@hazarada I disagree with your definition of communication, I think that the definition of communication is "to pass on opinions or facts." hence attacking someone with a sword is communication, because it shows them that you are upset about something. As for if one challenged the other to a sword fight, they had to communicate to the second one that they wanted to sword fight.
You may now insult me and dismiss this comment, although may I remind you that is communication.
This reminds me of the many "art" debates, where everyone was trying to decide whether something was art. No one ever tries to look up the official definition and no one ever decides on a definition.
i dident exatly get what u mean, but i think i get the point atleast. i my self alwhays look upp the words that i realy dont know for sure what they mean, becous otherwise i can get a mixdupp conclusion of what they realy mean, an therfore make a fool out of my self if i use a word that realy dont know what it is. but fo the most part im a natrul att english and swedish so most of the time i dont need to look upp words in english or swedish, if they arent pyscoligical or emotional
@spellgalen808 ignoring your horrific miss spelling of words, i actually could perfectly understand what you were saying, thus proving that spelling is not entirely important in communication... thank you :)
@marabushi123 in other words, your ability to be aware of the world around you was in sexual intercourse with presumably the content of this video and afterwards, or in time, it was expelled by a current of air. lol i googled that :D hehe, sry...i just saw a lovely chance to bother the populace with obnoxious "trolling", or conversation/comment meant to disrupt the stable peace of mind of a victim :B i need to shu up now...
I on the other hand tend to be really smug and non caring in this subject.
Even in conversation I tend to end "pointless language debate"..
That depresses me, that time has to be wasted like that.
Example is "sold" used by me as defining the act of agreed upon sale of an object between myself and an individual
My conversationalist disagrees as the word sold, in his mind only could apply to a transaction involving a set of capital, and my object is not sold then since my sale dont have price yet
Also, as weird as this sounds, I can't help but think you are a tweed wearing 40-ish year old guy sipping some fine 30 year old scotch as you clean your glasses... while you make this video.
Thats not a bad thing persay, I just think you sound super professor-ish, lol
While I have never had a ToK class, or heard of a ToK class before, it seems like it would be fun.
I have had this problem in some of my more advanced Philosophy classes. While it is interesting to talk about what "means" means for half an hour, I DON'T CARE. WE ALL KNOW WHAT "MEANS" MEANS.
I was under the impression that I would be arguing philosophical concepts like what defines humanity, not what a stupid word bloody means...
Wow. Seriously, wow. That was deep. And poetic and ... well my school was incredibly small and didn't have a tok class. Also it was incredibly American so we used a Webster dictionary, but still that was awesom. Lastly people who dwell on the "you times it by two" really need to take a long look at yourself life is a little to short to about proper spoken language. As long as You and I understand each other things are fine right? Still I never had a tok class so maybe that's the point.
wow, this presentation was fantastic, it brought back great memories of my tok class in high school. The presentations were certainly the highlight, my three-person group did a 28 minute video discussion surrounding masturbstion and its societal consequences.
@qdogg224 Apparently dead animals are way better than American high school students... no offence to Canadians! my point is that it's not hard to be cleverer than an America :p
@321FriendsFan123 Personally I think it sort of adds to the points being made and makes it funny by speaking so deliberately. To each their own I guess.
@Bundyrumowns Does he sound American to you? He sounds English (with slight smearing of some words that I assume comes from his years in Australia), and not the sort of English accent that apparently sounds convincing if the closest you've got to England is western shore of the Atlantic. I can tell the difference. I'm English. The number of fake English accents that sound convincing can be counted on one hand; possibly one finger.
So you develop this extensive thought process on the value of a word as an entity and as a value of a peculiar entity only to coadunate the miriads of connections said thought had developed into a convenient possibility of definition? In what measure is a word but a construction and its meaning similar in matter to that same artificial structure? Language is a mechanism of understanding; definition is a convenience of communication.
I find what you say very true. Far too often in TOK do people get hung up on the topic they speak about without ever discussing the implications of the KI.
My TOK teacher always makes sure we have defined the terms we use in order to prevent your scenario of the two guys. I think language is one of the most interesting WOKs, especially considering how there are languages that do not have names for certain numbers, objects and languages without tenses.
gah, my head has wandered off and I'm somewhat confused. As a note this is what I say. language is useless in have a definent definition, only a basic understanding of a word(s) should be needed in order to convey a thought. Thus things like: "she go-ed to the store" where as not proper, but is acceptable beacuse the thought behind in was succesfully transferred as a women left to the store before some time before now. :D but this is all in my own opinion.
I define flight as the act of prolonged movement using ones own energy without contact to any form of structure that is not being carried by your own flight.
Honestly I could not care less about the answer. I find the argument funny however; when you look into the complexities someone is willing to go to prove a point over something that is in itself utterly pointless.
I think you might have missed the point of my comments though. I was not trying to create an argument over the video in some convoluted attempt to make him seem wrong. I was trying to present another layer of reasoning or insanity if you will, that he could have used in his debate over the definition of the word flying.
To me the more absurd, completed, and twisted the debate between the two characters became the funnier it would have been. So I was putting forward more to the argument.
I must say you did a pretty good job, but on a 1 to 10 scale, I think you are still at two punctuation / three punctuation.. it's too slow.. try making one that's like 1,5x as fast =)
Someone should have explained to you that language is like culture .Not like as in language is = to culture, but that it changes over time.
Also for someone that scrutinized the word flight, you seemed to have not noticed that the definition you provided would actually allow you to say the whale took flight anytime it left the water. I'm not sure why you crossed the whale off after stating that definition.
One could argue that the term air is vague and that there is a type of air in water
@jimthebestname Knew I'd get you all wound up easily; you must be pretty stupid. Chemistry IS immutable. It wasn't different a few hundred years ago, people's understanding of it was. Chemistry has been the same since time immemorial.
@KazuoKawada It’s great to see we are not talking about the same thing. But I guess that's really just up to you to ramble on about some irrelevant and trivial point to hide the fact that u can't understand that languages are continually changing, just like culture.
@KazuoKawada Just because you keep saying something it won't suddenly become true, so get over it please. There is a difference between wound up & fed up. Dealing with people that need a bloody diagram to understand that a wall is a wall can be a little frustrating. But don’t bother replying you seem more interested in trying to have an argument rather than just trying to comprehend what I said.
@jimthebestname And aye, we weren't talking about the same thing. You changed the subject to try and avoid looking like a fool when I cornered you on the topic. Owned.
@arceus908 Air is not C02. C02 is Carbon dioxide and that makes up 0.039% of Earth's atmosphere, above 1% it becomes toxic and at around 10% most people are unconsciousness within a few minuets.
Earth's atmosphere is 78% N2, 20.9% O2, 0.9% AR, then the other 0.2% is made up of 13 other gases. All of these have a liquid form there by allowing you to swim in what you define as air ergo swimming must be flying.
*Warning don't swim in most of these gases you will die* lol
@jimthebestname Well, fuck my science tutor. And, BTW, you can't naturally reach some liquid forms of these gases, as it's boiling point is −185.85 °C, and it's melting point is −189.35 °C.
@arceus908 It's Okay, people do talk about C02 a lot so it is easy to get confused. You just don't naturally get a liquid form of some of these gases on earth. But they do have a liquid form under the right conditions. That is why I said don't swim in these as you will die as a disclaimer at the end. Lol
Are there any examples of a number of english words, that would have the exact same spelling and pronunciation but different meaning, and no common traceable origin? Just to give you an example, in my native language the world "`zamek" can mean both "castle" and "zipper" the only way to deduce the intended meaning is by looking at the context.
@RokitaBlank Homonyms. Though often they aren't spelled identically due to the fact that the words do not share a common origin. Contrary, there are words that are spelled the same and sound the same and have *related* meanings that (often) come from the same origin. The relationship between such words is called polysemy.
Though your interpretation of the word "well" contrasted with my interpretation of the word "well" may vary slightly and thus we must both agree that this was a properly put together collection of sound and images being displayed on an electronic device inserting the newest image 60 times per second, and it thus invoked a favorable reaction.
This is the second good yhatzee ripoff I've seen so far. Thank you for that. And I love what you talk about. I personally don't look too much into the meaning of words because people aren't prefect; they won't always choose the best words to express their thoughts, so it would be unfair to hold their words against them. Unfortunately, however, this is something people do to each other all too often, and that's how most pointless bickering begins.

As a note this is what I say. language is useless in have a definent definition, only a basic understanding of a word(s) should be needed in order to convey a thought. Thus things like: "she go-ed to the store" where as not proper, but is acceptable beacuse the thought behind in was succesfully transferred as a women left to the store before some time before now. :D but this is all in my own opinion.

I define flight as the act of prolonged movement using ones own energy without contact to any form of structure that is not being carried by your own flight.

Honestly I could not care less about the answer. I find the argument funny however; when you look into the complexities someone is willing to go to prove a point over something that is in itself utterly pointless.

I think you might have missed the point of my comments though. I was not trying to create an argument over the video in some convoluted attempt to make him seem wrong. I was trying to present another layer of reasoning or insanity if you will, that he could have used in his debate over the definition of the word flying.
To me the more absurd, completed, and twisted the debate between the two characters became the funnier it would have been. So I was putting forward more to the argument.

I must say you did a pretty good job, but on a 1 to 10 scale, I think you are still at two punctuation / three punctuation.. it's too slow.. try making one that's like 1,5x as fast =)

Then further debate could continue in regards to the "under control" portion of the definition.
Also you seemed to have overlooked that flight can also be used as a term to flee.
Walking around is a controlled movement threw air ergo walking is flight.
jimthebestname 11 months ago
Someone should have explained to you that language is like culture .Not like as in language is = to culture, but that it changes over time.
Also for someone that scrutinized the word flight, you seemed to have not noticed that the definition you provided would actually allow you to say the whale took flight anytime it left the water. I'm not sure why you crossed the whale off after stating that definition.
One could argue that the term air is vague and that there is a type of air in water

@jimthebestname Knew I'd get you all wound up easily; you must be pretty stupid. Chemistry IS immutable. It wasn't different a few hundred years ago, people's understanding of it was. Chemistry has been the same since time immemorial.

@KazuoKawada It’s great to see we are not talking about the same thing. But I guess that's really just up to you to ramble on about some irrelevant and trivial point to hide the fact that u can't understand that languages are continually changing, just like culture.
jimthebestname 10 months ago
@KazuoKawada Just because you keep saying something it won't suddenly become true, so get over it please. There is a difference between wound up & fed up. Dealing with people that need a bloody diagram to understand that a wall is a wall can be a little frustrating. But don’t bother replying you seem more interested in trying to have an argument rather than just trying to comprehend what I said.

@jimthebestname You do know only O is in water whereas air is CO2, right?
arceus908 10 months ago
@arceus908 Air is not C02. C02 is Carbon dioxide and that makes up 0.039% of Earth's atmosphere, above 1% it becomes toxic and at around 10% most people are unconsciousness within a few minuets.
Earth's atmosphere is 78% N2, 20.9% O2, 0.9% AR, then the other 0.2% is made up of 13 other gases. All of these have a liquid form there by allowing you to swim in what you define as air ergo swimming must be flying.
*Warning don't swim in most of these gases you will die* lol
jimthebestname 10 months ago
@jimthebestname Well, fuck my science tutor. And, BTW, you can't naturally reach some liquid forms of these gases, as it's boiling point is −185.85 °C, and it's melting point is −189.35 °C.
arceus908 10 months ago
@arceus908 It's Okay, people do talk about C02 a lot so it is easy to get confused. You just don't naturally get a liquid form of some of these gases on earth. But they do have a liquid form under the right conditions. That is why I said don't swim in these as you will die as a disclaimer at the end. Lol

This made me wonder.
Are there any examples of a number of english words, that would have the exact same spelling and pronunciation but different meaning, and no common traceable origin? Just to give you an example, in my native language the world "`zamek" can mean both "castle" and "zipper" the only way to deduce the intended meaning is by looking at the context.
What do you call such world?
RokitaBlank 11 months ago
@RokitaBlank Homonyms. Though often they aren't spelled identically due to the fact that the words do not share a common origin. Contrary, there are words that are spelled the same and sound the same and have *related* meanings that (often) come from the same origin. The relationship between such words is called polysemy.

Though your interpretation of the word "well" contrasted with my interpretation of the word "well" may vary slightly and thus we must both agree that this was a properly put together collection of sound and images being displayed on an electronic device inserting the newest image 60 times per second, and it thus invoked a favorable reaction.

This is the second good yhatzee ripoff I've seen so far. Thank you for that. And I love what you talk about. I personally don't look too much into the meaning of words because people aren't prefect; they won't always choose the best words to express their thoughts, so it would be unfair to hold their words against them. Unfortunately, however, this is something people do to each other all too often, and that's how most pointless bickering begins.
