The Original Wikipedia - Objectivity 68 

If you could get Keith to narrate audiobook that would be great.

[*_citation needed_*]

The only thing missing from those is the "[citation needed]" tags.

2:26 There was no copy and paste in those days; only literally cut and paste.

Kit question: what lav mics do you use for these videos? The audio quality is always fantastic!

Im not normally too excited/interested about the purely text based item episodes on objectivity but i find this really fascinating. The amount of information thats used to expand on the original texts is probably full of diversity and id be very interested to flip through some of these grangerised books.

SO AMAZING !!!!! Best episode yet for me, because you taught me a new word, and you showed me something I would NEVER EVER get to see on my own. Gracia's ! Thank you !! Many, many times over !!!

What a gem! I wish these could be scanned and published online. A treasure indeed!

I am really enjoying this channel. Amazing videos! Thanks Brady, Keith and James!

Could you look at some more cartoons/caricatures like the one in this video? I'd love to see a video on that kind of thing.

Sir Keith, a humble suggestion, you would make a fortune if you'd record audiobooks

The Royal Society should sell copies of some of these items.

At first glance, the books in the thumbnail looked like a giant Recess peanut butter cup.

I really like keith's tie

Absolutely amazing.

Amazing!! Lovw this nerdy stuff!!

Speaking of vellum, how does Keith feel about Parliament switching to paper for writing new laws?

With the higgly piggly way those volumes have been added to it must make cataloging the papers in it very difficult, if not impossible.

@Objectivity I have been wondering, has the Royal Society digitalized it's collections yet?

Those books are fantastic❣

Really interesting - thanks!

Since when is blowing your own trumpet a bad thing?

It's the Ridley Scott version.

[needeth citation]

my grandparents have the whole encyclopedia international collection, topics from "Aristotle" - "Zyzzyva"

Each and every one of these makes my chest ache with the desire to scan and digitally catalogue all these things... sad part is, I'd spend too much time reading them and not enough doing the scanning!

I really like Keith's suit in this one.

3:14 Is it just me or does Faraday kinda look like Keith?

If anyone knows what ASMR is, does Keith's voice trigger it for any of you?

It's great to see some literature on Objectivity, considering most of the videos focus on science, math, and history. If I could make a request for an Objectivity video, it would be to see something from The Royal Society for Literature, and more specifically something on the Fellow of the Royal Society, J.R.R. Tolkien, arguable one of the most influential authors of fiction. That is my request. But whatever content you put out is interesting and fascinating regardless. ^-^

love ya work. keep it up. from drizzly Adelaide.

4:43 Charles Babbage 1791-1871: inventor of a mechanical calculator, sadly they were never built. It is only with the invention of computer guided lathes that the concept was proven to work.

grangerisation actually comes from hermione granger because the books werent good enough for her

i wonder how much stuff brady has broken in the royal society

makes one wonder whether Hermione Granger was named after the same person?

Wow, who would have thought.

Such a fuzz for scrapbooking...

I'm very familiar with Wikipedia - where people can censor and manipulate entries for their own purposes. Yes, very familiar.

I now want to Grangerise one of the Halo books that I own.

Bruh I expected the original manuscript of the encyclopedia by Diderot.

It's like Adam Savage's cave in book form

Adding stuff with arguable relevance in a quite destructive way? Isn't that called George Lucasation?

Brady is feeling N A U G H T Y

While this is very interesting the reference to Wikipedia makes little sense. Sure I can see that this book has a resemblance of a one Wikipedia page with the collection of information from different sources in one place. But the main strength of Wikipedia is that you have hyperlinks. A word you mention, but is not represented in the book you showed. A hyperlink take you from one page describing one topic, to another page describing a different topic entirely. It is more like a reference to another book, than just pasting a picture that's relevant into it. It's through these hyperlinks that you can read a sentence and then see a word you don't understand, but easily click on it to be transported to a different page giving a full explanation of this word. Then after you have learned about the word you didn't understand earlier, You can come back and understand the original sentence better. This web connecting different pages of the internet is the foundation of why the internet works the way it does, and Wikipedia incorporates that idea in it's own internal web. That's what made it unique in it's time, and that's the defining factor.

I mean "The original Wikipedia" is just encyclopedias, which this is not, and of which there are many available, even now.

they really parker squared those books if you ask me

I think Keith may be the smartest guy in the English-speaking world.

Hermione Grangerised books. Hmm.

It's really making a scrapbook out of someone's published work. I'd actually kind of love to see people do this today, even with something like the Harry Potter books, turning them into something truly odd and unique. I really don't think the wiki metaphor is apt though, since this is the effort of one or a small number of people, for purely personal interest.

Babbage!

Next up, #69

i think all this fame is going to keith's head, he comes off as a bit of a diva lately

first!
