Question everything. Even the contents of this video.

Did you notice how many times the narrator kept complementing the viewer?

I found this to be the only concerning aspect of the video.

Probably a deliberate tactic to not alienate the lesser open-minded viewers who would brush the video off

Like all the students who dropped millions on a education to become medical doctors and then instead of looking into the efficacy of an experimental medical treatment they just blindly coerced their patients because they were told to? Lotta people out there with M.D.s and doctorates that shouldn't be Doctors or astrophysicists or psychologists The problem being everyone is the hero of their own story and to that end their mistakes will be justified in their own minds to the detriment of their patients or students. We live in the fuckin upside down

Good material.

Having high IQ does not mean being clever. IQ is necessary, but not enough. IQ is just a gauge of pattern recognition ability. Useful thing, but only with connection with curiosity, creativity (I mean ability to create something useful, not that modern meaning), ethics and many other things.

Encouraging curiosity is really important thing. Lack of curiosity is shine even here, when people share some "hidden truth" without any questions and attempts to find out is it really truth and how things really work.

Because you believe stuff others say rather than experiencing it yourself or seeing others actually experience it.

Because theyโ€™re not objectively smart. Wow, I just saved however long the video is and prevented ad revenue from going to grifters.
