@EnthalpyAndEntropy 2 роки тому
@@rkf053fitz two reasons. First, a lot of folks lack the wisdom to know they don't have control over certain things, especially now in the US. Furthermore, even if ego and hubris aren't a problem, anxiety disorders are a thing. Second, as an engineer, I worry about stuff outside of my control because it can have an effect on what I do control. When making a plan, I know success is never guaranteed, i.e., it's out of my control. I do, however, often have control of how I fail when or if I fail. I can take a path that should I fail it guarantees a certain effect and can preclude other, worse effects that could happen if I chose a different path. It's for this reason, unlike Destin, I'm unfortunately incredibly bitter and hold copious amounts of contempt for people in general. There are a great many "unavoidable accidents" that are actually avoidable and incredibly reckless.

Some of the most knowledgeable people are the most humble , I remember my dad telling me that in Cornell University, the Nobel price speaker would make everything sound so simple and even if possible seat close to the audience and speak to them just like a regular person having a conversation . The most awesome super brilliant minds don’t see themselves from the perspective of ego . Both the scientist and the person making the video look super excited and happy about this project , this guy is in his 70’s and he is having the time of his life . Great documentary thank you !!

My favourite thing about these sorts of videos is visably seeing the interviewee get more excited and passionate when they realise Destin actually has a good understanding of what they are explaining
@trouty7947 2 роки тому
@BrightForest it also means he can see which parts might need more explanation for the average person, or which parts need simplifying or an analogy. And he can get more in depth information out if the interview when they say something that might be interesting. It's something you see in teachers that are passionate about teaching, looking for different ways of explaining the same thing because not everyone will understand something from one particular type of explanation.

"I don't get anxious about stuff I can't deal with." Truly a wise man. I've been looking forward to the JWST launch for at least a decade and have always been nervous about it potentially failing.

@MountainFisher 2 роки тому
"in 2011 after wasting over $4 billion their budget was cut for "billions of dollars over budget and plagued by poor management" so it's no wonder Mather doesn't want to take credit for being in charge since almost the beginning. Because the runaway budget diverted funding from other research, a 2010 Nature article described the JWST as "the telescope that ate astronomy". Well after Congress cut it the astronomical community led by a Congresswoman ran a publicity campaign for why taxpayers need to pay for their research toys and they've gone up another $6 billion since then. The reason you put real managers in charge and not a Nobel Laureate who doesn't understand that the money has to come from somewhere. SETI after losing taxpayer money acquired the funding they needed, but they stopped having so much waste.
