Free Will Fetish

[dynorawrgirl]

I studied Descartes last semester. If my professor had mentioned the whole cross-eyed girls thing, it would've been so much more interesting...

[PyromaniacDelta]

Cross-eyed girl? Sounds like Hank's new song!

[PinkieMagenta]

Well I love Derpy! :P

[gwynethrocks]

0:08

Bow ties are cool.

Bow ties on a puppies are so jokes.

[mthsbandrocks]

You can thank us by getting Hank to hump the Google headquarters sign.

...ohwait.

[DarthRioBarbossa]

Hey John? Chapstick wouldn't hurt. Just saying.

[dyslexicxheart]

Inigo Montoya was a badass.

[SuviLove]

hahahaha I'm cross-eyed it's not fixed I wear glasses.

[aquadrop25]

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die.

[ClocksInMyPlace]

Oh no, then I don't dare to find out why I am attracted to e.g. nerds, because then I might stop being so!

[BrittanysMusicVideos]

AHHH this video takes a sharp turn from awesome to awkward at 1:04 . It returns to awesome at 1:25 , though. Lol

[IThinkThereforeIAm76]

Hehe this video goes awesomely with my account name. :)

[unseenstrings]

Poor Descartes lived in a time when people were ignorant to the fact that the mind is what the brain does. Those unfortunately ignorant folk thought the body was separate from the developmental processes that resulted in "mind." I'll bet they would invent little souls in order to imagine the functionality of some of the electronic devices we now use--just as Descartes invented the soul because he was too ignorant to imagine no soul is necessary to explain the processes and functions of the brain

[WashboardSam]

Your Star Wars figurine discussion was very Micheal Cera.

[Inujade]

haha so I'm writing a paper about Descartes and then I'm taking a break and I randomly chose this video to watch...and its about Descartes. WOAH John, you DFTBA.

[bibliophile232]

you killa my father prepera to die.

[dittopookie]

1:15 was a very George-Michael ish moment. XD (from the show Arrested Development. which you should watch if you haven't.)

[RedHeadExitting]

i totally see how recognizing why you are attracted to x,y or z can end the attraction. happened to me, i don't know if i would never like anything that had an x y or z again, like descartes though

[xar51]

Descartes never said " I think therefore I am". He said "I am a being that thinks" Get the semantics right.

[ROFLrhymeswithWaffle]

I WENT TO THE GOOGLE BUILDING TODAY!!! :D it was so much fun. they had a giant nexus one.

[trapjohnson]

I resent your sullying of the Montoya Family.

[regularguy5mb]

Well, by that logic that means I can use Descartes' theory to finally rid myself of that pesky...

Whoops, almost said it... almost.

Also congrats on the, well yeah, that incredible feat that I shall not mention, but is still quite remarkable.

[Director705]

More subscribers than OUR DEAR AND GLORIOUS LEADER?!!!

First, it was the pwning of Oprah, and now, it is the pwning of Google. Who's next?

[Wito545]

100,000th viewer what an honor

[sexytinkers101]

borrrring

[shabital]

eggs dont have high cholesterol they discovered.

u said some stupid things here, i can see u r a nerd

[YouSpamTard]

This video is mindless rambling of an idiot who apparently had ADD.

Its like saying: I like eggs for breakfast. Forks can be used for to eat food with. I can use a fork to eat ice cream with if I'm careful and eat it quickly before it melts. Some people put catchup on eggs. Forks are made of metal and I put metal forks in my mouth. The sky is blue and the dirt is brown and that's where we look to find material elements we can then use to make metal forks with. Eggs have high cholesterol

Idiot.

[KelniusTV]

Cogito Ergo Sum for the WIN!!

Although it must be said, I'm saddened to see that the comments are flooded with porn links and idiocy just because the video has the word 'fetish' in the title. I've found that using words in unusual ways is one of the many ways I express my nerdfighter pride.

It's kinda sickening to think that a political video about how Advertising is Raping the Minds of Children would give either advertising for a support hotline or, I groan to say it, even WORSE porn sites.

[LuraIsLura]

i think the challenge should b that hank fucks me

[KLRabstracts]

this is awesome! I've been researching on fetishes... mainly the safe and legal kinds. This video is quite resourceful... as I have friends who are trying to figure out the true meaning of fetishism. Some just want to know if they're normal! Hehe. well anywho... just remember - Beauty is within the eye of the beholder. ^_^

[100PercentGeeks]

I love this video so much :)

[trick0171]

1:15

[gilmai]

Haa! It is Michael Cera. EPIC!

[bettyboopscurls2008]

That's hilarious!

[Riba1122]

Great that about Star Wars and "I forgot to tell you!!!" :)

[o0omaco0o]

iloveravenrock, you are completely right!!!

[brownnoice]

I am going to get stoned for this but... DDR?

[ennalyra]

Yes. A million times yes. iawtc.

[kaliKOMMOTION]

Challenge Idea:

John, you must do your happy dance at various supermarkets in your area.

Possibly blindfolded.

Would that make it worse? Or way, way better?

Because then you can't see the disapproving stares.

Hmm. Whatever you want, I guess.

[LaurenxItachi]

YEAH!!

[pinkmage05]

DesCartes walks into a bar. The bartender says "Hey, can I get you a drink?" DesCartes responds "I think not." POOF, he dissapears.

[Vindiction96]

John, Hank, i challenge you to eat an entire apple in under a minute while jumping rope, juggling flaming shoes (preferably converse), and balancing Willie on your head. easy enough, right?

[jennabeanski]

Did you learn those facts about Descartes reading "One Man's Quest to Become the World's Smartest Man" by AJ Jacobs?

[pepr3orn]

Make Kraft® Macaroni and Cheese and eat it while hanging upside down and discussing the relevance of canary migration in modern society. With Hank.

[kissyface456123]

thats really good.

[qu33n0fh3arts08]

i wish i were smarter and that i could better understand your genius

[homj1]

learn to do the moon walk in under a week

[theFABULOUSeemC]

I challenge you to a game of chubby bunny. The game where you one by one shove as many marshmallows in your mouth as possible, but after every marshmallow you must say chubby bunny until you have so many marshmallows in your mouth it comes out like "cccuuuuuhhhh buuuhhhnhhhh" (Warning: have trash can handy for when you've reached your limit)

[Alexgofri]

*looks around*

::hides leia costume::

[bdmjintx]

why the hell would google have ANY subs?

[Symeria15]

1. Have a pretend conversation between you and Edward Cullen, with you switching back and forth on both sides. (if you attempted his hair with The Puff that would be Awesome.)

2.Make a sculture of peeps at least a foot tall. Then devour it in a Grendel from Beowulf like fashion.

3. Dress Willy up like Leonardo DaVinci. or some other famous science dude.

[patster223]

My challenge to you, is to co-write a short story together, and read it aloud to us.

Great vids, as usual. ;D

[Antagonisttheband]

These are the only videos I can watch on youtube and not feel like a complete genius.

[Pook365]

I think therefore, prepare to die!

[Fivestar5000]

stand on one foot eating an apple and balanceing a book on ur head, that or the one that involves a pickle in ur ass ur choice

[GothicTrioOfEdwards]

I like hands I like voices.

[MuseCast5]

the "MuseCast5" and especially myself, Helenna Santos, challenge you, Hank and John Green, to "pay it forward" and for a whole month. Each of you must do one random act of kindness for a stranger, for one whole month!

xo

Helenna

[christineweasley]

hhm.. i agree with the ads challenge made by tommymandel haha. but i dont think anyone can actually do that for good =\ oh well.. it just bothers me.

but my real challenge is for you both to make a collaborative song and sing it together :)

[GoldToofKneeGrow]

you look like a flaming cock gobbler

[ryancichowski]

LMAO!!!!

[WHEREtheFUNK]

wtf how is this important? this crap is total bullcrap

[lilbundlojoy]

Important? It's not, but, then again, neither is your existence. Yet, miraculously, we still have to put up with your provincial mindset and lack of vocabulary.

[lilbundlojoy]

*previous comment was addressed to WHEREtheFUNK, whose comment can be found in about four pages.

[WHEREtheFUNK]

PROVINCIAL: narrow or illiberal; parochial.

In your non productive experience thus far on the planet, I may seem "provincial". However I have found that when people attack others that dont agree with their thoughts or values, they tend toward facsism.

FASCISM: suppressing opposition and criticism of thoughts and ideas.

by the way go fuck yourself homo

[ac1662]

Determinism is true. Free will is therefore an illusion. So, go into a restaurant, sit down, and wait and see what you order.

[dublin7emh]

Okay. From a meat eater who will not eat less meat I challange you and Hank to compete in a vegitarian corn dog and mayonaisse milkshake drink-off. Ratio of 1/2 cup mayo per corn dog please. Prefferably with wasabi ice cream but let's not get too picky here.

[tommymandel]

Challenge: make those new google onscreen ads go away. Oh, i forgot, i can cleeq them away. Okay, how about you explore the connection between Beethhoven and The Marquis de Sade. thanks!

[logansGT]

"I yam what I yam"

Popeye must have been a DesCartes' fan, too.

[spf9215]

I am Aniego Montoya.. You killed my father.. Prepair to die.

[Anthonyxathiest]

I want you to stay underwater for 2 minutes.

[Psittacine]

it's cool that you make videos in front of your big smart bookcase... you're being ironic right? Still trying to figure it out...

[PratNamedEvans]

"no way... that's weird... let's talk about something else.."

[mycinematicsmile]

"let's talk about something else..." hahahahahahahahaha

oh LOVE john green

that is great

good smart philosophy

AMAZING AND RIDICULOUS TURN OF EVENTS

[uselessguitarplayer1]

Where is your decency? Why are you targeting people with Strabismus? ...such wickedness that will never be remedied.

[meagan1mp]

[ashnnaina]

OMG thats must of been hard when people thought that corss-eyed people are marked by the devil and that too in the 17th century

it must of been hard to live

[Zophus1]

Uh... no it isn't. See: Principles of Philosophy (1644), Part 1, article 7: "Ac proinde hæc cognitio, ego cogito, ergo sum, est omnium prima & certissima, quæ cuilibet ordine philosophanti occurrat."

See?

[turkey2083]

lol, I like your ikea bookshelves.

[a123a456a123a456a]

ouch, fail fucktard fail bitch, fail motherfucker, fail scum

[KweenOfPink]

That was terrible. He is an awesome nerd. Hes super smart, and super NERDY. So back off before John and I start using  nerdy, HIGHER LEVELED English words. :) Have a nice day.

[waltergalt]

Yay, Bill Nye is back!

[archevangelus]

Talking about other companies like that could get your own but kicked! Maybe people agree or disagree but this world ain't free as you think it is! SCORE!

[celloprofundo]

Ewan McGregor's 'lil bro ? Ole Rene must have had self-esteem issues so he built a philosophy to bolster his self confidence. "I am ugly, therfore cross-eyed girls can see only half me" ; }

[Kouin]

I think you should have to spend an entire day without your glasses. I lost my glasses once and everyone rofled at me...

[Ravenskysong]

haha so John has a puppy and his brother has a cat right? you guys should see who can come up with the cutter/cooler pet outfit

[why7would7joO]

SOUP! (>^-^)>

[foosbeast]

Well I like this video, and I do not think it is a waste of my time because I learned something interesting.

[KalieCakes7]

I challenge John and Hank (and the Yeti and the Katherine if they'd like) to travel down to Texas to meet their 3 biggest nerdfighter fans Grace, Brittany, and Kalie :D

[sheethr]

Google is my dear and glorious leader.

[roocarpal]

Of course! Google is the leader of all!

[Jabels07]

[HazzaPistheDocsBFF]

Dress Up as Harry and Ron, and Ask people on the street if they know where Voldemort has Taken Hermione.

All on Camera, of course, and if at all possible, in New York.

[dusteaterwindraper]

[2012listo]

I had a girl who was into me because she was on the pill. As soon as she stopped, love grew cold. Bitch.

[spaceawesome22]

hilarious

[Scobow27]

i'm still wait to see hank get dressed up as a girl to watch sex in the city

[frenchpinkpoodle]

um i think you should dance to You Spin me Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive in the middle of a mall or children's park

but thats just my idea

[RaveThePainforest]

Interesting and informative but lay of the coffee and meth.

[Tomayer1]

so....i forget who, but someone commented on my earlier post and said "i don't follow -isms," however, libertarianism is an ism so either you follow an ism or sit in the corner and rot to death.

so yea, What do you prefer? Libertarianism, Soft Determinism, or Fatalism?

[1990camarorslover]

do u suck dick?

[SpringtimeMelody]

I read about this in AJ Jacobs' book "The Know-It-All" who is a nerdfighter who decides to read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica, A-Z. It's hilarious ;)

[ayemaynedayyy]

more giraffes. more hot giraffe sex.

[Paxadzor]

hehe marked by the devil xD

[onlydarkfallenangel]

I challenge you guys to make a song about an artistic monkey with twenty words or less.

[raisethepot]

Order a large pepperoni pizza. In two minutes or less, remove all the pepperoni and cheese, while discussing anarchy and it's relevance in the 21st century.

[duncanstives]

Determinism is NOT fail.

But also does not truely conflict with a sensible definition of free will.

[MyLegendarySelf]

Determinism = failure

[bummercucumber]

Factoids are fun!

That was intentionally made to sound like an after-school special. But it's still true.

[RickRamson]

ride a child's bicycle down reasonably big hill. No full sized bikes,the bicycle must be sized for a kid.

or go ice blocking down the best grass covered hill you can find locally.. AH! But please mummy yourself up like a polar bear with TP first.

[cochranexyz]

You know, it's too bad I can't mark a video as total shit and never have it shoved in my face again as a "promoted video". Who's blowing who to have these videos make the promoted list? WTF?

[h0tJulius]

do another 52 jokes in 4mins

[T3hFlyingpizzamuffin]

haha cool video Mr sir :D

[Warghost1000]

Who is the cross-eyed girl on the video preview? She's not in this video?

[shytophile]

I think it is not a wise move for DesCartes to attribute his change in fetish with free will. Even though I think Freud is B.S., it seems like DesCartes went through some kind of catharsis.

[hammerhead2005]

Awesome, I dont like getting up before noon and i have a crush on a waitress who is cross eyed and a fine BOOTY

[KingoftheFreaks]

Eat 20 Corn Dogs

[whitefluffyhat]

PAINT YOURSELVES PURPLE

[JaricFan]

you should have a challenge like charlie's except paint your whole bodies LIME GREEN!

[sirswedishmike]

A fetish for cross eyed women can also show that we don't have free will.

He had the fetish because of a childhood friend supposedly, and that mixed with the natural events that led up to him being into philosophy led to him coming up with his idea of free will.

And the reason he wants to prove he has free will is obviously evolutionary. (everyone wants to feel in control, and if you feel in control, you probably have a higher chance of survival.)

I'm not a nerd, but I'm trying my best!
