In a comeback 6 years later, same music, same camera quality, same style, same lovely voice. It's a trip down memory lane. 👍🏻🔮

Imagine my surprise when I realize this was posted 36 minutes ago! It’s remarkable how little his content has changed and how it could still definitely hold up in the modern climate! I believe he picked just the right time to return, but really, his content is timeless.

0:50 And that's what I do. I take less (almost no) pictures and rather than that, I enjoy that precious moment which I can remember throughout my entire life ❤

My theory is because if you write it on a note or even taken a photo of it, you are likely to stop worrying about them which makes you get them off your mind considering the fact that your mind now thinks that it doesnt need to remember such memory if you can just simply remember it again via the action you use like taking a photo of it.

Some studies are theorized like this and I stand with them on this theory.

Sounds like if you take a picture, for example, you are relying less on your memory for that particular moment. Now knowing you have a picture of it, your brain doesn't need to remember the painting because you can just look at the picture at any time.

Long time no see king! I hope you're doing well, I've binged watched all of your videos and seeing you coming back lightens my day up, keep going 💕

Now this is the come back the world needed🔥🔥

This makes sense actually. When you take a photograph, your brain subconsciously doesn't place as much reliance and importance on the actual experience, since a photograph is (basically) a permanent "memory".

I love how Richard Wiseman still posts these videos as _normal_ videos, without turning them into some annoying "Shorts" videos.

[JWhitePWC]

it's interesting to think about how this phenomenon works. it could be that, if you restrict yourself from using your camera, you unconsciously engage yourself more with the experience. very interesting in any case!

Photographs made my life better, I can see old photos and remember anecdotes, places and happiness I couldn´t witouth them. Take photographs if you want to inmortalize beatiful moments. You will appreciate it when you are old.

This makes so much sense I realise i think this also applies to lot of things everyday. whenever youre scrolling some app and theres a diy/hack or some other inspo or a random video ab some imp sites you need, you usually just save it instead of viewing it and memorizing it cause you have it saved so the brain doesn't give much importance to it subconsciously. Except now its just out of your mind and you did your job. Similarly, when you're writing down notes, you probably give like just partial of your attention/ importance to it because you have it stored anyway.

the fact that he can still upload the same content with the same equipment after 6 years just shows how great his content is!
