I think whats interesting is that you can learn plenty on social interactions just by using youtube. Of course you'd have to be perceptive on these sort of things.

@Person009 Good call.

You are no bad youtuber :-) dont care what happen around you, your channel is one of most valuable on YT (imho) and i enjoy every single of your ideas, even spicy peak-think pauses. Its a real pleasure and worth listening to you.

Your *stuff* need more views, what you say has value, is smart, rare, fair and often important for everyone.. somehow.

Youtube has value, in real life, yes, all global in [milli]seconds, and its full with strange, loud people...but thats part of the deal.

I think in general watching something gives people more pleasure. It doesn't really help creative thinking, imagination. Think about reading a book vs watching something lets say a movie.

When you read you have to construct in your head what you read. In a movie with the images and the music they tell you how to feel and what to think.

I think you tube still have some very useful and relevant videos. Some of the are very well thought argument, but they are very limited and very small percentege

I'm no big you tuber.I barely know what's out there. Though after looking at some of your stuff,it inspired me to pick up my abandoned Introduction to Phenomenology by Dermot Moran. So that's a positive. I could use a little push on Being and Nothingness,to say the least.

The populous aint dumb, they choose to be so as a consequence of the elitist FEAR of EQUALITY, basically stated, it's easier than fighting the unjust inequalities that occur, ask Tesla how far an individual can excel, "if you can't put a meter on it, they ain't financing it", ask Wilhiem Reich what happens if you create something that cannot be exploited.

When cultivated, what then.

I know I blamed Plato already, though, Freud has a lot to answer for also.

and the revenue from the adverts HERE.

Youtube is the funny/witty/wise/intelligent uncle. Only, he doesnt have a clue who you are.

@aerobique Professor anton is a breath of fresh air on youtube. I hope he never leaves. I think the value of youtube is that it creates dialogue, but the bad side of youtube it can be negative. Well, good video, like always.

I've learned plenty through youtube

Thank you for making this. It's an encouragement for me to get up and do something. I play guitar. I write. I sing. I care about other people. but I don't put it to use. This computer is my life support. It's what gets me through the day and I can't imagine living without it, which is a fantastic reason to toss it. The few friends I have are hardly friends at all anymore, my family is slipping away and my Mom Is worn out, because of this machine. I'm only 18. People like me have to change.
