OT: Favourite Youtube videos

Apparently a certain somebody mocked in this video is VERY upset, and wants it removed from the internet completely. Good luck with that.

I've been watching some of the Vice Doc's on youtube.. this one is on North Korea
 
Check out the one on Mali. They had the French Army mentoring the Malian government forces and the government troops couldn't even clear an entrenched machine gun nest, had been wasting hours assaulting and retreating from it, so they sent in the French professionals and they took care of it in like thirty seconds. :lol

Oh colonialism.
 
I can still enjoy NDT in formats like this that are a bit more serious, or at preferable in lectures, etc.....but he's a turned into a bit of a dancing monkey in many of his public appearances these days. Despite his obvious wealth of knowledge, he often comes off like a bit of a buffoon that's trying too hard to be a comedian/entertainer.

Like Michio Kaku, I have a ton of respect for what they know, and what they do to get physics out there to the average Joe.......if I'm sitting down to listen to a physicist though, I find myself listening to a ton of other people, over either of them, these days.


Like guys like Bill Nye though, their value is enormous......no question.
 
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, I can't get enough of everything Tim Heidecker is making these days....

NDT doesn't "care" about guys like you and I who own books by Brian Greene, Hawking, etc. We're already hooked.

He's clearly trying to appeal to people that a dry (though passionate) discussion about science, god of the gaps, etc simply doesn't sink in for, with his more bombastic public persona. If he wasn't carrying Sagan's legacy with Cosmos, I think you'd see more of that on there too.
