for some reason since i only live a couple hours away i kinda wanna become a creeper and go find him and be in aw (awe? ahh? awwwww?) of actually seeing him..... @_@
Haha, we had to do a project about Gage in 7th grade for science xD I wish my science teacher had shown us this, I would've actually gotten an A on it :P
frontal lobe disinhibition is the real lesson of that case study for clinical psychology, by separating and well... destroying that connection between the frontal lobe and the rest of his brain he was angry and impulsive and unpredictable, like a drunkenness that never ends PG showed how brain injury related to personality changes
We watchd this in Psych today. My non-nerdfighter psych teacher found this on accident when she was trying to find stuff about Phineas for our class. :D She was so impressed by how much information was in this song. She gives you props for doing your research, Hank. :D everyone in the class was looking at me funny when I said I was a nerdfighter but they just don't understand.
We talked about Gage too and people who suffered about Gage disorder or syndrome, not sure which one...
so in our book it had a small text about those gage people and it was something like:
"There are lots of Gage in our society. They might look normal people but they're not. They're mental state makes it hard to get along with other people etc etc"
(so, in my language we pronounce Gage and gays very similarly)
thank you Hank for this song. I took my final exam in my Neuroscience class today, and while I don't know how I did on the rest of the test, I know I got the questions about Phineas Gage right. I sang this song in my head to find the answers :-) . thank you.
I was looking through all the vlogbrothers videos and I saw that it said phineas gage: a song and I got so excited that I actually knew who he was that I just had to click on it

We discussed Phineas Gage in AP Psych. I brought up the fact that there was a song about him when conversing with my group.. to which my co-captain replied, "I watch the vlogbrothers!"
"NERDFIGHTER?!"
The response he gave me was the nerdfighter symbol.
After three lonely years of high school, I found a fellow nerd because Hank wrote a song about Phineas Gage.
@spot41414 I met my best friend after forgetting "Will Grayson, Will Grayson" in my English class, I was met the next day by a drawing of a nerdfighter symbol next to my book on the chalkboard. It was the teacher's "Student assistant" and we are now best friends. :)
My Psych teacher told us this story and I raised my hand to ask if he was talking about Phineas Gage. I was the only one to know who it was. :) Thanks Vlogbrothers!!! <3
Just went to a lecture about how science has been able to learn from people like Phineas Gage. As soon as his picture came up on screen i had this song going through my mind! There was a great one about a nurse called nancy whose brain was damaged so much that everything she saw became a lichtenstein cartoon x
We talked about brains in my biology class and the teacher was talking about a story similar to this and I freaked out because I knew all about it and I think I kind of scared my class. I also used this story in an English paper I did last year about what in the brain causes empathy. :)
Our teacher played this today. I didn't know it was gonna be a vlogbrothers video so as soon as I saw Hank I loudly yelled "IT'S HANK GREEN!!!!!!!". Everyone looked at me like a freak. I don't care.
My physiology professor talked about Phineas Gage today, and I have been waiting all day to come home to watch this video. :D Thanks, Hank, for writing a Phineas Gage song! :)
I had to track this down again because in my biology class on Friday my teacher played a video on the brain and different things that can happen to it, and Mr. Phineas Gage was mentioned and I got all happy and it took everything in me to not squeal out 'Hey! Hank taught me that!' Yeah, I was getting weird looks from my lab partner, and I was thinking 'it's okay, I'm a nerd. Live with it. It's pretty sad when a good portion of your knowledge was gained via youtube videos. :S
Watching this to procrastinate/help with my philosophy homework, but then almost clicked onto a giraffe sex video, which is most certainly procrastination only.
We talked about Phineas Gage in school today! Well, actually we were talking about things impaling your skull and one kid said, "Well I read a story once about a guy who worked on a railroad and got a pole shoot through his head" and my friend next to me went, "OH OH OH IT'S PHINEAS GAGE!" Then we started freaking out and our teacher looked at us like we were crazy. The end.
@cupcakestar6 We are going through US History in our english class, the same thing happened to me, just that I was the one that was having A nerdfighter awesomeness-fit xD
I am a fairly recent vlogbrothers subscriber. I bought Ellen Hardcastle and this is my favourite song. This song deserves my more views! I've always been fascinated by Gage and I couldn't believe it when I realised someone actually did an awesome song about it! It's becoming more and more obvious that Hank and John never, ever forget to be awesome.
i know that guy! they told us at climbing class to wear our helmets over our farheads lest out frontal lobe turn to clam chowder in a fall and we end up like phineas gage
we were shown the other phineas gage video 'cause we were learning about him in science. after we saw it, my level of respect for my teacher shot through the roof.
My english teacher had a book about Phineas Gage and I nerded out and grebbed it as fast as i could so i would get it before anyone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
. He recently has been creating episodes for an online You-tube series called Assassins Creed Brotherhood 2.0. in which he is incredibly good at entertaining his viewers, and extremely poor at actually playing the game
I'm so glad this song exists. I need to study this for psychology and this is insanely helpful. Hank decreases world suck and suck levels in my grades.
My friends were talking about how the brain affects the human body and I used Phineas Gage as an example of what one can survive without. My only problem was I kept starting to sing the story.
@SaukaKumagae I wouldn't call it surviving. after the accident Gage lost literally all ability to feel emotion and with that loss he was no longer able to function. without emotion he didn't even have the drive to feed himself and would have actually lain down and died without care and attention. the human brain is full of way too much awesome!
@hardcorehunter1 I would still say he survived, but I understand it wasn't much of a life afterwards. Regardless of the damage it did to him as a person, the fact that his body could function without large portions of his brain is still a good example of what one can survive without. Yes, indeed the brain is full of awesome.
@SaukaKumagae Very well. I accept your definition of survive and am now even more amazed by the incredible durability of the human body. It's almost as awesome as being a Nerdfighter is it not?
I felt so smart when we talked about Phineas Gage in my Psychology class and i already had some knowledge about him. Oh how i love nerdfighteria <3 <3
i have a what if for all of the smart(er) nerdfighters out there. what if, because information can me sent and held inside energy is it possible that our emotional make up can just be perpetually housed in the energy in our brain? and the processors for things like emotional control and how to act like a sane person and housed inside the brain tissue? and because people with brain problems can end up forgetting memories and not usually talents, could those things be related?
