[drkwhy9]

Dude, I love your voice. I am in the process of learning to talk like you lol...I sort of joke...

[chvyant]

I want to come to UOG but I don't care about games so much XD

[guybrush93]

DONT let Steve Jobs see the name "iPower"...

[jsn6780able]

God is in the neutrons was interesting, it is actually the first video I watched by you guys. I wish you would make a video on muscle memory and how to increase it.. I think that would tie it together with the gaming aspect. unless the world goes to brain wave programming and controllers. lol kinda . thanks to athene

[0ddler]

wtf was Gods in the Neurons...there's no way i was sitting through a 22 minute documentary styled thing.

[metters4lyf]

@0ddler Then why are you asking what it is? I wouldnt spend my time if you cba to spend time on a short doc. If you -want- to know what it is go an watch it. :)

[0ddler]

@metters4lyf I'm asking what it is for the obvious reason of getting the answer.

[ancientcarni]

im thankful for your videos, and everything you have created. I think people should appreciate what you guys have done, i hope the I Power team is aware of that what they have created is just amazing. Thanks guys again.

[shocks007]

This whole Athenism thing is seeming a bit like a cult.

[metters4lyf]

@shocks007 It advocates not following a particular belief structure or becoming to attached to ideas. Cults are pretty much the opposite of everything 'Athenism' advocates. It's just a different way of approaching things.

[magua4]

I feel like disabling the comments was a direct contradiction of the purpose of I-power. I hope it doesn't continue throughout the rest of Chiren's videos.

[lonoauroa]

It all makes logical sense! I love it! It inspired me to practice in areas I'm not great at! Thanks!

[BuddyProducers]

Reese you are awesome! keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your next vlog :)

[ReelayLoL]

"Make more SDA vlogs soon"™ Reese

[Fingerpin91]

You need some sleep Reese :D

[Mardolin]

Well, I don't have any money to join the university of gaming, but I would love to be a part of it. Is there any way for a scholarship or something like that?

[Georg5555]

1000 euro for the study and you say many people signed up ? luls

[konttka]

god damn.. i wanna join gaming university.. how much cheap apartment rents cost in belgium??

[LordGarithoos]

ABRAHAM YOU LITLE GIRL!!!

[oBLACKIECHANoo]

Honestly.... If you are that stupid you can't play a game well by yourself than you wil never be, most games require intelligence. If you can't play without somebody teaching you than you can't with somebody. You are a scrub.

[Rockguitarnow]

Dr. Hameroff has a beautiful theory about God and the brain that many scientists are now embracing. It is, that microtubules within the brain form a bridge between the quantum world and the regular world. The quantum world is little understood, but it is where we get things like color, feelings, a sense of morals, etc. The classical world is purely physical, with laws that Einstein and Newton formulated :)

See my video entitled

"Quantum Consciousness (Dr. Stuart Hameroff)"

[reese015]

@Rockguitarnow Yup, familiar with his work, think it may have been exaggerated and oversensationalized in What The Bleep because in truth he says some damn interesting things.

[sinprelic]

@Rockguitarnow I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT THIS IS NOT AT ALL ENDORSED BY ANY NEUROLOGIST OR NEUROSCIENTIST. this is pure bullshit and as a student of molecular cell biology, i can only giggle at that stupid supposition. microtubules? really? polymers that are formed and destroyed in huge quanities every single second? and during different stages in the cell cycle? are you telling me an embryo has a sense of color and morality? because i'm pretty sure microtubule turnover is highest then.

[whitecowleg]

I think athene needs to read some basic book about anatomy and histology because he basicly doesnt know what hes saying in the god in the neurons video... sad. Cant even call this popular science

[reese015]

@whitecowleg that doesn't make any sense, most of GiiTN is directly quoting/paraphrasing known facts and the GiiTN chapter was received spectacularly well by neurologists and neuroscience students, I still get mails to this day about that

[Vulgaels]

@reese015 As a medical student, i dont see anything wrong with the anatomy or histology ideas. Its very interesting so far even if its still between popular science and actual science. keep up the good work, interested to to see where all this is gona go

[BURLYMACHINE]

@whitecowleg Your name is whitecowleg. You have absolutely nothing intelligent to say.

[whitecowleg]

@BURLYMACHINE your name is burlymachine and so on

[BURLYMACHINE]

@whitecowleg Awesome, as where I already said the exact words you'd say. The difference between your name and mine is I didn't say something that made 0 sense while making me look like a total douche bag at the same time. Thanks

[whitecowleg]

@BURLYMACHINE the difference between our names is something we said? lolz

and yeah saying i dont have anything intelligent to say because of my nick didnt make you look like a douche, not at all man. get ur head out of ur ass

[BURLYMACHINE]

@whitecowleg Nope, I'm implying that what makes you a douche bag is the comment you made, it makes you look like a fucking idiot. Along with your name, it proves to me you're completely ignorant. It's like, if your name was turdlips, but you said something constructive and intelligent I wouldn't feel the need to say "yeah you match your name". This is not the case though, I'm glad Reese agrees with me though on the 0 sense making. Makes me smile.

[whitecowleg]

@BURLYMACHINE on the douche scale you just reached maximum. you sir need to take pills

[BURLYMACHINE]

@whitecowleg whatever you say man.

[mynypwn]

@whitecowleg rofl you just got fucked by reese

[ChristianGenz]

@whitecowleg You're fucking retarded, that's all.

[metters4lyf]

@ChristianGenz HIGH 5! To the face.

[metters4lyf]

@whitecowleg It is congruent with philosophy too. Much of the info lines up well with some of the newer radical theories with what is taught in philosophy of mind. A /basic/ book wouldn't cover a lot of the neuroscience on the basis that it is a fast advancing field.

[legendaryole]

do it for the MARRIAGE!

[reese015]

@legendaryole lol

[legendaryole]

@reese015 that video was a legend. by the way wish you good luck with ipower!

[1lomme1]

ugly beard and mustach much?

[reese015]

@1lomme1 ur jelly, ur mirin

[NestacaFamoso]

that whole academy thing reminds me of pick up as a means to develop yourself.

[reese015]

@NestacaFamoso it's VERY analogous indeed

[naturalize]

are you wearing lipstick....?

[reese015]

@naturalize of course, Abraham doesn't go on screen without his lipstick

[Oli098]

You need a shave.

[reese015]

@Oli098 it's on today's schedule

[khadwen]

Finally, a video on his own channel, and not Athene's.

[reese015]

@khadwen making this vlog from my phone went surprisingly fast, I'll try to do em more

[Sevival]

Ik vind uw idee van "gaming university" eerder amitieus en veel te ver gegrepen, maar i really really like the philosophy.

As de dinge begint te relativeren is dees ni zo abnormaal eigenlijk.

Wa leert ge int school? dinge da 'belangrijk' zijn in uw leven, en soms denk ik zo da les krijgen over gaming belangrijker is dan sommige dinge da ge bij wiskunde ziet,en da ge er veel verder mee komt in deze alsmaar grotere virtuele community

[reese015]

@Sevival It's partially that (e-sports evolving etc) and partially the fact that in order to be really good at gaming all-round you need a mentality and a skillset that applies to much more than just gaming

[Sevival]

@reese015 Ja inderdaad, ik vind het ook interessant dat je je SDA enzo hierin wilt integreren

[shisnoking]

@Sevival nein

[Sevival]

@shisnoking it's not german idiot

[Niosus]

What TV/radio channel will you be on?

[reese015]

@Niosus vtm (Goedele) wants us on for the 30th, we'll probably do that, other appearances may follow

[Niosus]

@reese015 ok, marked for recording ;)

[aYeGFX]

wtf he called you abraham.

[reese015]

@aYeGFX :D

[konzori]

Can you apply as a teacher aswell?

[reese015]

@konzori not yet, but maybe at some point in the near future!

[spitfire457]

would be interesting if you could have some online courses aswell. Im not saying all, just some :)

[reese015]

@spitfire457 there will be an online component

[14bebop14]

 anonymous = no labels? WHAT IS THIS INTERNETS?!

[Craynlol]

will you upload those tv interviews? would be awesome :)

[reese015]

@Craynlol don't think so, they'll be in dutch :/

[nowekonto2]

I think disabling comments on that video was a mistake. you're simply showing that if there are too many people who dislike the idea you will gag their mouth and move on like nothing happened. But that's your choice. On a different note, are people from other countries really willing to move to Belgium for a year? It seems risky, as these courses are vaguely sketched at this point

[reese015]

@nowekonto2 actually, we plan on re-enabling the comments in a few days or so because we know that's when the trolls will have lost the emotional drive to troll anyway and it'll return to normal commenting, plus we didn't disable ratings! Also, UOG is indeed in its early phases and it's still being developed, more info will be announced real soon!

[whitecowleg]

@reese015 Just because s1 says the movie is stupid doesnt make him a troll. You guys are bigger trolls if u think what you made there is a scientific document

[wXingVinny]

@nowekonto2 A really good question, thumbs up, i hope it will be awnsered.

[Georgeveen]

Abraham, do you know a Mark? :)

[reese015]

@Georgeveen Mark...?

[Georgeveen]

@reese015 Yeah, I wondered if you knew him. He lives in Zeeland (The Netherlands) and probably knows you. Don't know for sure, but he told me he had you on Skype, he has a Scottish family name. Maybe I can tell this better in Dutch... :P

[Januszeko]

Explaining science LIKE A BOSS.

[reese015]

@Januszeko LIKE A BAWS

[ZeroToleranceLT]

I thought u were not serious about that gaming university thing O.o

[reese015]

@ZeroToleranceLT we are :)

[TheXddc]

was sooo difficult to understand x_X (God is in The Neurons)

[vuniqirinor]

ABRAHAAAAM! \o/ <3

[reese015]

@vuniqirinor *stare*

[Xerothn]

Isn't ipower dead? and the new thing is this religious thing called "Athenism"?

[reese015]

@Xerothn no :D

[dummekopf]

why can't we comment on the new videos? i think every1 here like's 2 know @reese015

[reese015]

@dummekopf We try to keep AtheneWins Athene-only but every time that we do put on something serious, the trolling just gets out of control and we actually get tons of complaints from people that they feel trolls are ruining the idea and the viewing experience, so that's why these two AtheneWins vids have comments disabled. Keep in mind you can still comment freely on God is in The Neurons on Athenism.net.

[FailMachineInc]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eee

[reese015]

@FailMachineInc waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[MrOoggabooga]

You're awesome Reese
