Only if you think you are. René Descartes.😅

​​@@maartenvandam344 Descartes actually didn't believe these hypotheses, he only brought them up as plausible but 'disproves' them later on. He (naively) believed that due to a just god all of that wouldn't be of any concern because he would have been created in a way that wasn't deceiving him. His writings get weirdly theological moving along. For example he wrote that he would like to brush physical reality aside so that he could finally see the divinity moving everything behind that. I didn't finish it and don't intend to but I don't know if it gets more unhinged. Or was this a mistranslation of the Cogito? If so, yeah he obviously believed that

@giratina6665 All I know about Descartes is that one phrase, "I think, therefore I am," and I attempted a little quip with it.

That was epic bro 😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

everyone should know a Paul.

I was just gonna comment "i wanna meet Paul so bad", then i saw this... Glad i´m not alone

It the male "my b_tch" Julie of Ali G... Maybe Ali G is Paul and Philomena is Julie?

@@RayOrly-fs3gr makes sense

I want to see Paul. Hahaha

😂

He says it like a killer with 0 remorse

His intonation was so serious and slow that for a second, I too believed him xD

The majority knew it was a comedy show, they just didn't know what TF she was going to say or where the conversation was going. She said it several times in interviews that it took ages to record some of the people because they couldn't keep it together!

a "bit" ? 😅

She’s at the top of the game.

The most impressive thing was that she almost succeeded.

It is actually a very valid question in philosophy. Descartes' "I think therefore I am" attempts to deal with it.

My favourite too haha, literally laughing out loud

Well more like a interrogated by NKVD in russian

Or like that guy when Ali G (Saha Baron Cohen) was doing interview about "vets" and "veterinarians". I bet that guy also wanted to be back in Nam at this moment...

😂😂😂

That’s how it always ends.

She set that up sooo good. The delays, hand movements and nuance in her facial gestures was just sublime. So much discipline to have it flow out as if perfectly genuine. Awe striking performance. I love her.

“Yeah”

And then proceeding to ask him what it feels like to be sucked off through a hole.

but at least he has the imagination to consider being sucked off through a hole. glorious!

so not important?

Genius.

The most random glory hole conversation ever started in life. And i'm here for it.

​@@noneya3635I'm still laughing. Tears from my eyes. So good.

I was not ready

merry Cunkmas everyone! i hope santa came in everybody's chimneys ;)

Yeah. Whoever named it was a grandiose twat lol. Imagine naming a census book of land & holdings "The Doomsday Book" 😂

Apparently so. I thought it was like a history of UK and a prophesy of the possible end. Nope, just a census.

@@Lukecash2 I think it provides useful factoids to shorten tedious conversations at cocktail parties, such as the ratio of goats to watermills in Kent.

@@yxx_chris_xxywhat is the ratio of watermills to goats in Kent?

I would also like to know the answer to that ​@@TommyMoritz

If you haven’t figured it out by now I’ll explain. We did not come from monkeys (common misconception) but rather we have a common ancestor. Think of it like this: there was a different species let’s call pre-monkey (not human or monkey). Then these pre-monkeys split and evolved in two different paths, one path becoming humans the other becoming monkeys and now there are no more pre-monkeys. Hope that helps feel free to ask any questions!

@@nmgactor8752And why aren’t humans turning into other forms? 🤣

@@panchopistola8298 we actually are! There are a few small mutations seen throughout our population that is different compared to people during history. One example of this is our mouths. Human mouths have gotten much smaller over timer (which leads to crowding and the removal of wisdom teeth) because we have adapted to have bigger brains rather than bigger mouths. Yet there are two main reasons we aren’t adapting like you might expect. Reason 1) our medical systems kind of slow this down. Survival of the fittest means if someone is not fit in their environment and they die earlier they cannot pass their genes on. Yet our medical system allows these people to live longer and pass on their genetic information so things aren’t disappearing or changing as much. Yet the second and biggest, more real reason is time. Modern humans have existed for around 300,000 years. Which may seem like a long time yet is minuscule compared to the 14 billion years ears is. Evolution takes a longggg time, millions and millions of years. Modern humans simply haven’t existed long enough for us to adapt. However, we are and will still adapt. Millions of years from now humans may look very different to how we are today. Let’s look at another example. In the late 1700s the average male height was 5’6”, today that is 5’9”. Why have we grown taller? Perhaps one of the biggest reasons is because women find it more attractive, and therefore these taller people pass on their genetic information more frequently. It is very possible that in the future average male height may be even taller! One last point I’d like to make is the lack of stressors in our environment. Humans control how and where we live so much our environment poses very little threat to ourselves compared to wild animals. If some sort of drastic change were to happen that posed deadly threats humans would evolve to fit that environment. For example, the average temperature on earth has been increasing due to global warming. If things eventually become too hot for humans, we will most likely evolve to have an average body temperature that is different from it is now in order to survive. Long story short, we are still adapting and there are things we can see of it. The reason there is no big changed is it hasn’t been nearly enough time. And given the millions of years needed we most likely will have “evolved” and look very different. And the environment doesn’t really require us to evolve because how in control we are. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I doubt anything here will change your mind at all but learning about opposing views in civil conversation from a place of curiosity and learning is always a great thing. So yes feel free to ask!

​@@panchopistola8298nigga do you know how evolution works? Humans have only been around for a couple thousand years.

In short: there have been multiple human species (homo habilens, homo neanderthalensis, etc) over the last few million years. The current human species had a genetic bottleneck not too long ago geologically speaking, so every human today is much more related than to most previous species. And there are mutations that are arising like not being born with an appendix, jaws getting weaker, short-sighted eyes being more common, etc, just not things that are as visible for the most part. Some people even think that autism is getting more common in some societies because it's beneficial for certain critical jobs.

That was my absolutely favourite part

She was like, “yeah hmm I’ll think about it”

Ohh you don't say. Now I cannot unsee him as Keanu.

Omfg true

they are aware she's doing a bit, I've heard that the show runners essentially tell the experts to treat Diane's character like a child.

​@@45johngaltthey know she's acting, but its funny cause they're still baffled by the sheer ignorance she pretends to have. It's like they know but at the same time they have the idea of "wow, a person can really be this dumb"

I've also heard it's very hard to rapidly change light levels a significant amount in dreams, so turning a light switch on and off is a pretty good way to tell.

yes, but how would you tell you weren't just dreaming that you could read it? Or maybe you just dreamt that you read that if you're asleep, the part of the brain for reading shuts down? Or...

That is false. I have had many dreams after I heard this fact where I could properly read what was written

@@s.aslahahmadfaizi4687 highly unlikely. The better chance is that you saw what you supposed was text and your dreamstate told you what that text said.

I actually have a very difficult time reading things when I'm daydreaming, let alone dream-dreaming... lol

Well that all depends on your idea of significance

It made important changes, not significant ones 😏

I think she broke him

I would say she trapped Cox very well. At the end she asked -Can you imagine how it would feel like to been sucked off through a hole? He answered: Yeah! while biting his lips. She nailed it, maybe she should have named him too, like "Can you imagine Mr.Cox how it would feel like to been sucked off through a hole? Still it's pure gold...

Better not. Any aliens coming across this would be strongly tempted to euthanize us.
