I'm here from Bill Wurtz. Never watched Attack on Titan just like I never watched The Matrix because if I ever talk about something considered "deep" I want people to know things I say come from experience and the mind, not from a movie I was inspired by and decided I'd become a wanna-be

AoT?

I completely agree with you - Facebook is really stupid. It's a real waste of time. just an excuse to stay inside and never interact with people, "IRL". You Tube, on the other hand - as long as you stay away from (most of_ the comments, one can find an amazing amount of programs, videos, movies, and all sorts of unpredictable things which people from around the world have uploaded- everything from silly cats-trying-to-walk-on-treadmills videos to videotaped college course lectures from such institutions as Stanford, MIT, (grudgingly I'll say it:) Yale (although, of course, Harvard is so much better than Yale, but that's a different argument for another time). Anyway, if you want to find educational videos about all sorts of subjects - weather/climate sciences, astrophysics, quantum physics, anthropology, etc., etc. and, of course, there are millions of songs that are uploaded either as just a still picture-video with the song playing or else the video for the song is uploaded or even, sometimes, some uploader will create their own video for a particular song and post it, and sometimes you find whole albums' worth of stuff, i.e., a whole album in one post. Also, there are also lots of movies - both public domain ones, like so many great things from the early 30s (and a lot of these early 30s movies are actually better than the stuff that came out of Hollywood after that awful "Hays Code" -that asshole who, being an uptight stick-up-the-ass jerk & trying to kiss the govt's ass so they wouldn't clamp down & legislate Victorian morals on films-which happened anyway, up until the 60s, when taboos were finally being chopped down & flushed down the goddamn toilet! But you can sometimes catch a newer (copyrighted) movie that has either escaped the copyright-policing software that takes those down by speeding up the sound or doing some sort of tricky thing with the picture quality - sometimes it's in the form of an elliptical light in the middle of the movie that can be distracting when the scene happens to be in a dark spot - say, at night or in a darkened room, etc. Or, you may get a chance to see a newer movie if you chance upon it just in time, before it gets taken down for copyright reasons. Anyway, yes, You Tube is a great thing - I only wish all the trolls that waste so much time with their back & forth verbal catfights and temper tantrums, etc. would go somewhere else - like Facebook and stay there! -otherwise, just stay up where the video is & ignore the comments and you'll enjoy the experience much more!

Yeah, FUCK facebook. Bunch of idiots.

I tried FB briefly and quickly knew it was a huge waste of my valuable time. Time is something of which they won’t be making more. I took a look at some of the connections to my FB, and, YEESH ! many people had posted every bit of trivia as though - if they couldn’t record each meal, each trip, each day, each breath, it hadn’t existed, and they might not exist. Perhaps they do not exist, if FB takes up so much of their concentration.

Soft. Tissues. That kind of stuff rarely survives.

Evolution.

May be all animals created at the same time instead of evolutionary process?

No of course not. There are pre-Cambrian fossil ancestors for organisms in the Cambrian. Not many of them admittedly because soft bodied organisms are hard to find in the fossil record. Evolution is already proven to exist.

Agreed. Former soft animals simply died and got eaten or vice versa. The one change of adding hard matter such as shells or skeletons created fossils. Just one small change and all is explained. No great time involved.

What do you mean by "soft animals"? How many cells were they composed of? Were they eukaryotes? What caused the evolution of soft animals? How did life go from single cells to multiple celled organisms?

I always wondered if a human went back to that time, would he be able to survive? Would the atmosphere be breathable? Is the land hostiles? Where can he find food?

​@@essex3777 nope. We have smaller lungs and can't handle vast amount of oxygen

Humans don't know a lot of things. What's your point?

but they know much, and it is proven through various causal mechanisms that are trackable through re-provable feedback mechanisms that happen through constants, like chemical action. It's an insane amount of state history for extractable data, because it's stratified, or because it is retained in genetics. That's huge amounts of backing data. I don't even know why I'm saying it to you "Robert" because you're not gonna care and it's probably better that you don't. We're fucked.

Was semtex a thing back then?

Wait, that only happened in the Precambrian? I didn’t realized that took so long.

Oxygen levels were higher prior to the Cambrian explosion so this doesn't make any sense. In face snowball earth was caused by Cyanobacteria removing carbon from the atmosphere, which occurred long before the Cambrian.

Yes it is magic alright.

Well, if I understand it correctly, what emerged "suddenly", was life that FOSSILIZED well enough to be classified. We know too little about the creatures before the Cambrian to contrast it (with certainty) with what came after. Some say the Cambrian explosion started well BEFORE the Cambrian .. extending it to maybe 50 million years (if I remember correctly)

Why? You refer to Abiogenesis, something that happened billions of years before that period and something as consciousness that happened millions of years later. In either case they have some compelling evidence.

Isn’t that the materialistic/chemical explanation ? I mean basically, how , why and when does an hydrogen atom start to have an inner experience ? I mean bacteria have maybe a billionth of a billionth of the conciousness we have, nothing as rich as we do, maybe the faintest sense of light or pressure. I mean also: this complex brain activity, or any sensory experience, why is there an subjective aspect? Why is it not all happening in the dark without us having an experience ? I mean, the matter itself is unconcious, how can it ever give rise to something as immaterial as an experience ? I’m searching for some answers. But this video is definitely interesting and all gathered knowledge is welcome.

@@RifetOkic The total is more than the sum of its components. The brain is a collection of neurons that is so complex that it now creates the consciousness. Look at chimps, they too are aware of their existence. They too feel compassion for other chimps. So, even though it is mind boggling it is the result of biochemistry. For instance, you do know that people with brain damage can loose parts of their cognition. They often can not speak or understand what you say, they can loose their empathy for others etc. It is a wonderful thing that we are at this stage of evolution, I wonder what the far future will bring.

I guess life is a big part of economics.

I mean, without the start of life there is no economists- ;-;

@@mohammedhasanen6291 Looks like someone didn't learn the difference between theory and hypothesis in school. Gravity is a theory, don't see you claiming it's not real

@@joshmarsh2532 … Wow, Please teach me your wisdom and tell me the difference. I think if you were living 500 years ago, you would be easily convinced that the moon was being swallowed by a dragon during eclipses, because the wise man in the village said so 😂. Hypothesis or a theory 🤔, if it’s a hypothesis, then you cannot call it science because no one sure if it’s true or not .. if it’s a theory then it needs to be consistent with the data AND LOGICAL. A dragon swallowing the moon during eclipse is consistent with the data ( the mood suddenly disappears) but not LOGICAL. Having this variety of creatures in such a short period of time with this scale because the oxygen level become higher is simply not logical to me.

Thank you! Glad to be an eukaryote.

;)

Interesting! I would still like to question the claim that "(...)eukaryotes had built a cellular computer system(...)". Does anyone actually know how the information-rich molecules and the cell's information-processing system in the DNA/RNA arose?

greetings gunnar, I don't know anything about the origins of cellular computers. But I do know that wherever software systems exist in a control system, it provides the intelligence of that system. The bigger the software, the more intelligent the system. In this case, the nucleus "computer" is manufacturing a multi-cellular organism (with high level structures like organs, tissues, etc), not merely a pool of cells, like the Stromatolites (which takes little information beyond just cells to construct and maintain). In order to construct the more complex organisms, there had to be an evolution of software-size (indirectly the DNA memory system size) so that it would be big enough to solve this problem. This includes any error correction required to maintain the larger memory.

That is nice. But time is not a physical force. You need something to spur it. And you don't have Billions of years. You got maybe 20 million. As the conditions on earth for the first 3.5 billion was recovering from the formation of the moon and thick atmosphere to be stropped away. Then just at the proper conditions exist. It all just comes alive at around 600 million years ago. Mot to mention. Once you have water in all three states. You have Oxidation. Corrosion. Chlorine and Radiation. All of which would stop any cellular life from forming new features. As you get crippling mutations. That degrade the genetic information. And yes. I know my biology. As we got better microscopes today....

It's a mystery due to a lack of "hard", easy to find evidence. a) due to most fossils not having hard parts; and b) convective and geo-morphic removal of rock and land masses due to subduction.

@@Cyberpuppy63 there should be 1000’s more transitional fossils than there are actual fossils. I’m all for “theories” & “hypothesis” and even the word that science can’t live without namely “Chance” but the real insidious word that is always thrown around with abandon in the scientific world (and the political world for that matter) is the word “Fact”. We can’t have our cake & eat it too.

Marc Bell Oh, I'm sorry. My English is fucking terrible because my main language is not English. Let me ask you again, how the fuck is the word "meme" outdated when it is being uses all over the globe?

Liam Cameron q

LOL

I'm sorry but do you know the mathematical odds of that being the answer? We throw out all these possibilities that have extremely absurd mathematical odds and hardly make any sense in light of what we now know about DNA. I'll never understand why we are forcing ourselves to ignore hypotheses with better odds in order to jam hypotheses with absurd odds into the current framework because they fit the dominant ideology.

We could try to recreate similar situation in a lab to confirm or reject this theory

No, mutations could not have caused the development of any complex life forms we observe in the Cambrian explosion or life we observe today, including you. It’s mathematically impossible.

@@SomeCollege Why not?

@@Bravetrain13 the more likely scenario mathematically is that all the fossils in the Cambrian explosion were already living since day one and the explosion is due to the first ever flood occurring and burying them.

"Chemosynthesis". If this were correct, would there not be an even greater abundance of chemosynthetic life below the ocean's "zone of darkness", aka the depth where sunlight doesn't reach below the water? There are some such organisms that live on the bottom of the ocean, around volcanic vents, but I'd expect more types, and more common. It also gets me to wondering if there could be life living on the underside of the Earth's crust, between it and the Earth's magma outer core?

BTW, most everyone who reads this are layfolks. Would you define "Siphonophores" and "Proterozoic"? Safe assumption that "zooids" just means living animals, I'm general?

@@TheNoiseySpectator There have been many reports of microorganisms in the Earth's crust. These might live on thermal gradients, but also on respiration, using the products in water resulting from radioactivity, such as for instance hydrogen and hydroperoxide. Most organisms in the crust will however not be able to span thermal gradients there, whereas near submarine hydrothermal vents a thermal gradient exists between the cold sea water (~ 0 C) and the vents, which can be hundreds of degree centigrade.

But we still in the ocean, hey can we go on land? No Why? THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER

Wow, that’s animals and stuff.

MoeSlislack ......watch it again. They have numerous intelligent, workable ideas. Cut some slack.

Pretty obvious plants made animals and oxygen because bacteria wanted to 🎼taste the sun

It was most likely oxygen and sea creatures moving up on land to exploit plants. It will be interesting to see how over the years, the evidence may bear this out. one spicy memey boi said _"Pretty obvious plants made animals and oxygen because bacteria wanted to 🎼taste the sun"_ Plants were not the first photosynthesizers. It was cyanobacteria in the great oxygen event. It was an over run of these bacteria that caused that first wave that made it possible for Eukaryotes to evolve and put so much oxygen in to the atmosphere. This great oxygen event most likely created the ozone layer as well, which allowed animals with these new cells to move up on to land. These new cells are basically evolved bacteria cells that and are animal cells.

"Wow, that's animals & stuff"

No, it can't be that. The Eucariotic cell and the Mitochondria helped create MULTI-CELLULAR LIFEFORMS. The Cambrian Explosion was about the development of hard-bodied creatures and animals that could move on their own. Vision was created and you could fully be aware of your surroundings. Multi-cellur lifeforms appeared before the Cambrian Explosion. They were Ediacaran creatures. What you are describing was the trigger for multi-cellular lifeforms, NOT the Cambrian Explosion.

I don't know whether to take this seriously or a joke XD

I agree. While it had to be several different phenomena operating independently at the same time, the Oh two level seems to be the best candidate for the big push, the most salient factor giving rise to the iconic 'Explosion'. Those throwing up their hands, saying "We're Clueless", then revert to creationism, have thrown out the baby with the bathwater. One of the most helpful problem solving aides I've come across is "Occam's Razor".

A Lloyd Pye fan, I assume? It really is a fascinating hypothesis. Do you have any further opinions of what you believe these Terraformers/Zookeepers are seeding our planet for? It's total and baseless speculation of course, but still fun for us to discuss. :)

. . . but who created the Zoo-Keepers? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Yes most probably there are more than one factors causing this, but for the sake of a relatively short video these are left out.

The Ediacaran fauna largely fed on microbial mats. Their extinction is connected with the disappearance of these seafloor mats.

+Sandy Combs Watch the video. They may be the Ediacarans. Unlikely because the Ediacarans look so different. Or they may be life form that lived at the same time as the Ediacarans but weren't plentiful enough to leave traces. Or they developed really explosively after the Ediacarans. We don't know. Science today does not know. We all appear to be descendants from some first multi-cellular life forms but that was much earlier, around 1-1.5 billion years ago. But the development from those first multi-cellular life forms to the Ediacarans and/or Cambrians is for now subject of research and speculation. Future generations of scientists may find out.

13thGenPatriot - I guess you haven't seen the long line of transitional fossils for the whale then? Perhaps you should learn how evolution works before lampooning it. Although the mutations are random, the selection of the consequent changes are most definitely not. Breeding of Dogs and Pigeons shows how quickly changes can happen when artificial selection is done by humans. It doesn't take millions of years to change these, so it's clearly a very powerful mechanism. So presumably, you think a God with a magic wand is a better fit for all of the data? That same God who's remarkable by his absence today in protecting the innocent from Cancer, natural disasters and accidents? At least it makes a change from those crackpots who say that their God did this 6000 years ago!

Without transitional forms LOOOOOL. Every species that has ever existed is a transitional form you lead eating creationist idiot
