“Iconic figures we can relate to are not bad”
-An iconic figure we can relate to

[YourCrazyOverlord]

"We use conclusions to come to reasons, " is the most perfect explanation of human interaction I've ever heard.

[LazerLord]

"The world is not a logic puzzle" is probably a very good thing to remember.

[rainingonyx]

I love how in Michael's breakdown of logic puzzles, he admits he's not an elephant, but doesn't say he's not awesome, which the logic puzzle had suggested he was.

Don't know if that was intentional but I think it's a clever bit.

[maulikshah]

This legend didn't put a single ad in a 30 minute video

[scoott]

Can we just appreciate that Michael has consistently made nothing short of phenomenal content for almost a decade now

[drewajv]

Michael 8 years ago: what if everyone jumped at once
Michael now: Hierarchical power structures that rely on individuals making decisions for the collective run counter to the way our brains have evolved to tackle collective problems

[mikeykwaak]

Haters will say it has cuts, but we all know that Michael is actually materializing those objects out of thin air with his psychic powers.

[CryptoNWO]

The worlds GREATEST teacher.
Thank you Mr Saucy Sauce

[Xidnaf]

Really wish there was more discussion of stuff like this. Not just what decisions are made and who gets to make them, but the society-wide information-processing and decision-making process.

[evank]

Not gonna lie this is one of my favorite vsauce videos of all time. Always come back to rewatch every now and then

[JackGordon]

After all these years I still don't want to tell Michael that my name is not Vsauce.

[fkflip]

all these years later, the vsauce theme drop still be hittin'

[kjell_bekkenutte]

Vsauce is the only channel that can have just one man sitting in the same room talking for half an hour and gaining millions of views. and that is phenomenal, in this time

[andyzhang]

Vsauce dropping a new video is like an international holiday for internet surfers.

[tylermasek]

I’ve been watching Vsauce since 6th grade and I’m now 23 years old. I’m very grateful for the knowledge he’s passed down and believe these videos have had profound impact on me growing up

[praker]

The only bad thing about Vsauce is that their videos are so thought provoking that I can't focus on what he's saying for more than 5 minutes because I get so involved in my line of thinking that I completely stop paying attention

[suhaangames]

Micheal gives me hope in humanity. Lately I’ve been having so many arguments both social and political and it ends in the other solidifying their opinion, yelling and leaving and making an angry face like some baby. But now I got some sort of empowerment with the lessons I learned from this video and hopefully one day I can get through that brick wall of opinions and change their minds. And obviously change mine as well. The very act of debating is very tiring and I see why many just try doing their own thing but isn’t it our human responsibility, our pride as a social species to debate and grow?

Idk man I’m just lost and tired, very tired of being a human with all this responsibility and all this effort I must put in. Anyone reading this, thank you.

Can I just say that I appreciate the subtitles so so much. When a YouTuber just puts in that extra bit of effort to have well made subtitles for their videos it is amazing. As someone who is hard of hearing, they are so so nice to have. Thanks Michael! :)

Vsauce has some of the best content on YouTube hands down. He uploads so infrequently that it becomes a treat when he finally does.
