this needs to be taught around grade 6 i think or so to everyone, thanks for doing these they are awesome

[gillianandrews]

This is a great starting point for teaching children. As a 6th grade teacher, I will begin with this one. Most excellent series, thank you!

A motto I like to live by..."Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

This is great David. Ive been a fan for about 6 months now and never saw these until now but I'm hooked! Do you still make miniseries like this? You do a great job at it and I would love to see more like it!

[yannygatto]

I would argue that "Michael often doesn't stop at stop signs" is normative in its use of "often" which doesn't have an objective value to it. A more descriptive manner of wording this would potentially be "There are times when Michael doesn't stop at stop signs". But I'm splitting hairs somewhat. Great series!

[jamiecqwong]

Thank you for this video! This definitely helps!!

Remember to stop the video a minute before the end unless you want to hear the ads

"Michael often doesn't stop at stop signs" isn't exactly a descriptive claim. "Often" is a vague term, and could be left up to the interpretation of whoever hears it. For someone who always stops at stop signs, "often" might mean what others might call "every once in a while". Just saying, if you're gonna make examples about concrete descriptive claims you should probably use concretely descriptive words :P

Love the video! A lot of this seems pretty intuitive to me (normative claim), but I've never taken a class and actually learned the vocabulary (descriptive claim). Really appreciate this series!

[tanyapadma]

Is it ok with you if I use this video in my online ethics course?

[TheCountOfMommysCrisco]

Damn normy claims always runnin' around with opinions an' shit. They'll never be dank claims like that.

My pants are warm... My pants... are warm.

Descriptive is male, Normative is female, it’s been claimed. Really been waiting forever for Pakman’s critical thinking series.

[voLumez]

So many ads... Half of the "videos" are a pitch for Brilliant subscribers...

Really that's a bad example the green screen you don't know that Sarah is wearing a green shirt? even if it looks green to you! It doesn't mean it's green. she could be standing next to a green light it could be a white shirt? Like I saw the driver of the car he had a blue car not the case necessarily?
