hindsight is 20/20 is a really really shitty saying. This is because 20/20 is not a perfect eyesight. In fact it is the worst eyesight you can have before the issues start showing up on medical exams. Most young people have eyesight much better than 20/20. Its just a testing standard.

Hindsight is 20/20, but its still a bit fuzzy.

I should've stayed with the job I had 2 months ago, rather than go for the new job i had on the table. I was unsure it would be the right thing for me, but I was looking for a way out of my old job and at the time the new job seemed like the right call. The fog of the future obscured the fact that my new job would wait for me to serve my notice at my old job before changing both the role and manner in which I would be employed to ones noone could accept. Looking back now its obvious to me that I should've stuck with my old job and waited for one of my other applications to bear fruit instead of walking away from my old job, getting screwed over and ending up unemployed and struggling to care about much at all.

As someone who always tries to find the 1 right answer in all the universe, this has been struggle. I'm 30 now and have mostly learned how to forgive myself for not always making the best decisions, but it was very hard for me to accept. I also learned that life is mostly about going through stuff rather than arriving at some destination or getting a "result". Just remember that life is super complicated, and forgive yourself and others. Good luck out there.

@Mitch Lang What??

That's why studying economics has helped me so much in life, as I see many decisions as a maximization over several restrictions. I'm depply critical about the mainstream approach of economics on trying to solve everything in a utility optimization model, but in an abstract general way, that's the best way of see decisions in order to make them the most efficient.

I like the mathematical example comment, because "There are no solutions, only tradeoffs" isn't always true. Sometimes there are indeed "solutions", but often yes, it comes with a tradeoff. Sometimes the tradeoff is so small it's barely a tradeoff

This is completely true. There is no such thing as a perfect solution. Personally I would be bored of perfection. I define perfection as not being human anymore

What a jerk Mr Grey.

I think an important point to keep in mind is that many people will be affected or know someone who is affected. So as reckless as some people are, if they have a family member or friend who gets sick, they are much more likely to change tribes because of it.

It's pretty unrealistic to be honest. I wouldn't worry about that. The... highly _partisan_ response to the current pandemic is the extension of an already highly polarized political scene, at least in the US. Who knows what the state of politics in the future will be? Hopefully it will be better and people will agree about what facts are by the time the next pandemic rolls around. CGP Grey is clearly smart and knowledgeable, but doesn't seem to have the same knowledge about historical and current politics that he does about a bunch of other stuff. Maybe I'm wrong, but the authoritarians in power all around the world, along with a certain part of the political spectrum, currently have been stirring up conflict and division for a while now, and it's no surprise that this is the result. Who knows what the fog of the future holds for politics? Again, hopefully good things. Hope I've made you feel better and not talked down to or anything. Have a good one.

Arigadatred I think that’s an ill advised thought process to pandemic reactions. It really breaks down more between the Id and the Super Ego. The Instant Gratification of Now verses Precautions for a Maybe. Currently in the US there is a politician who has run his entire campaign (and arguably whole life) on the Id. The short term flashy gain now, the future be damned for the consequences. It can be a compelling argument, most teenage pregnancies are proof of that. Much of the now hollow Republican talking points were originally built around the idea of sacrifices today for savings tomorrow, in case of the unexpected. It was during the Nixon Administration that the EPA was conceived and created. This same mindset of the Immediate Tangible Now verses the Abstract Unknown if Later can be seen in some individuals reluctance to admit to Global Climate Change. “It’s Cold Today” is easier for our primitive lizard brains to understand than “On Average Global Temperatures have been statistically Higher throughout the year”. Or perhaps “New TVs on Sale this Weekend” verses “Based on Current inflation Rates and cost of living increases I should save *this* much each week for retirement.” Retirement is so far off, and I might not live long enough to even need that savings, but this TV...that’s NOW! So “putting on a mask and keeping socially distanced to maybe potentially perhaps prevent one person I know and love from coming down with a fatal illness” is a much more distant and abstract line of Super Ego thinking than “I don’t wanna bother. If it’s my time, it’s my time. I’m gonna let Jesus take the wheel.” Speaking of which, I absolutely HATE that phrase “Let Jesus take the Wheel.” But that’s a rant for a different evening past my bed time.

@@zezze5136 You know your big reassuring statement is "don't worry, they'll all swap to my tribe by then" The problem isn't that one tribe is wrong and one tribe is right. The problem is that making your personality entirely dependent on talking about how all THOSE people are evil is exactly what stops us from being able to work together and get things done :/

This is exactly how I feel about every election. If you're on team right or team left then that is who you vote for regardless of their manifesto, and regardless of the information put in front of you. I honestly believe that if you go to vote for your team on election day without first doing your own research then you should not be voting. The same applies to your pandemic tribe, and while I do have my own opinions as to what is right and what is wrong, those opinions are worthless unless I am willing to review and change them over time.

@@coopergates9680 it didn't pd: GET ME OUT OF THIS SHITHOLEEEEE

I'm not an essential worker (thanks for being out there btw) but I am having my college classes online (Mechanical Engineering) and I feel the same way a bit. Everyone I know, even friends in other courses, are talking about how much free time they had and all the cool stuff they did, and there I was not touching a single video game or anything I like for almost 2 months straight because my college decided the best thing to do in online classes is making us do even more work. Hell, had I not forced myself to take a 2-week vacation this summer I would have been studying and working nonstop for 5 months straight!

Right. Really what changed for me was work got about 10 times harder for 2 months then no difference. And that was only because we were limited to 10 people in one group at one time.

And this is one more shame to be added to the list, that essential workers will have seen no change to their income, to the care for their safety, nor to the appreciation society (doesn't) give them. Even the media will cheap out when it comes to thanking them, because in the end, it's just their duty to risk their lives for the convenience and care of 'those who matter more', and in the end, they'll be the ones to foot the bill for the failures of governements.

Oh same. The only big difference I've experienced is not being able to do certain things I love doing but that was only temporary. Also I feel like I've been judged on doing some things I normally do.

At least it's mostly a commensalistic relationship. I'd rather that than a super harmful parasitic one.

@@KohakuAmber22 By that same logic tapeworms are commensalistic, since they have similar sorts immune system benefits and they certainly do make their host lose weight.

That's just vaguely "not _that_ bad" enough. For something to be irreplaceably symbiotic it would have to be a virus that provides a major _benefit_ rather than killing or even inconveniencing its host, and irreplaceable as in, something we wouldn't be able to achieve by some other means. Imagine if there was an airborne transmittable virus that hitched rides in healthy cells but then murdered, say, cancer cells. Now _that's_ symbiotic, and a benefit we wouldn't be able to replace very easily if the virus were somehow eradicated by accident. iirc, there's actually an attempt to cure cancer that uses this as its method. What if there was a virus that injected its duplication code into your telomeres, effectively slowing (or ending) the process of aging? Now _that's_ irreplaceably symbiotic.

I said MOSTLY commensalistic. I'd put it in that over parasitic anyway since herpes doesn't really hurt you, it's just annoying. I'm not saying it's mutualistic by any means of the imagination, just that it doesn't hurt us basically at all.

@@KohakuAmber22 Herpes can absolutely cause *much* worse symptoms in people without strong immune systems. Plus herpes reduces the likelihood of its host reproducing any time it's presenting symptoms, which makes it clearly parasitic from an evolutionary standpoint. Plus like tapeworms, the benefits herpes grants are mostly attributable to people in modern developed countries having underprepared immune systems.

@@StrazdasLT Yes, exactly. Our brains are made to think that way. Our brains are also made to try to reduce exertion as much as possible. That doesn't mean you go around saying "why are you telling people that it's ok to exercise? Our brains are made to reduce energy expenditure as much as possible." Sure, you're factually correct, but the logic of why you're even bringing this up is flawed. The nature of your wording implies that you're trying to counter my point (I'm not particularly going around comment sections trying to win conversations, so I'm not quite interested by the way), which seems to imply that you take issue with the fact that I brought this up. It's very simple: to reduce ignorance, because our minds are made to be ignorant, so we need to apply active effort to change and grow that for the better. Otherwise our conceptions and interpretations of our environment and our place within it stay hazy, vague, and flawed. Yet we stay attached to them and try to force other people into our own warped perspective through dynamics like judgment and social proof and certainty itself (the nature of your comment is a nice little microcosm of what I'm talking about). This is not an innocent thing - the fact that we don't apply active effort to mitigate our ignorance has led to extreme amounts of suffering, pretty much on a daily basis. So honestly I think it's stilly that you would take issue with me bringing that up (if my interpretation was correct)

@@StrazdasLT that's very true but, still, I don't understand why the fear of being wrong, which seems to be more about other's criticism of people being wrong than it is actually being wrong, is more powerful than the fear of death.

@@dawnworthy6358 Well, if we admit to being wrong then we made the wrong decision yes? well, if that is true, then what about our other decisions? have we done everything wrong?

While the door frame version is obviously not so helpful for the wheelchair bound, there are freestanding bars you can buy.

Still matches the point of the video. We judged during lockdown, we will judge after the lockdown, and we will judge after this pandemic.

Any decision made could have been better prioritized. Any plan could have been implemented earlier.

@@olmilla93 yes but then If you have the information now that a ton of people are sick with a highly infectious virus then maybe send some help would be a good idea, rather than constantly waiting for more and more and more information that's really not that relevant so much as it outweighs the potential of help

And they're not alone. (Wouldn't be surprised if the Philippines were worse than most, though; I've heard a lot of shit about Duerte.)

​@@olmilla93 agreed! We will always think we could have done better in hindsight. However, I think the framing of the judgement in the video is problematic. The snarky look of the person towards the judge's panel makes it seem like the judgement isn't valid. Criticism towards the inaction of a system that supposedly works towards the benefit of the people is valid, especially when that system isn't doing its job. It shouldn't be wrong to constantly ask for improvement; isn't the purpose of humanity to make the lives of people after ours better than those before? The facts are: we are in the middle of a pandemic, we are not being treated with a health-centered approach to resolving the crisis, more and more people's lives are being affected. While we can't change the past, we can always use what we know to make a better future for people tomorrow. We should be able to criticize the systems and ask that they work better especially when the cost is lives. Hopefully, we don't forget that each individual life is a story and not just part of some statistic.

I'm not criticizing Grey, I love his videos and find them very useful. I just wanted to point out this crisis has surfaced the profound inequality in our societies.

@@TheSquirrelbeast Well said.

Ah another laid off airline pilot back to cfiing stay safe out there buddy blue skies and tailwinds

Ah, as in teaching pilots. For a confused moment I thought you were telling train engineers to get on planes tomorrow and for some reason called them "train pilots."

@@cartbart1 Lol I wish, no haven't gotten to the airlines yet. Still working away at the 1500, but I'm luckier then a lot of people atm. At least I have a job.

I think passenger travel may be safe by March or February.

Stefan Saboura nah. More like the end of next year or well into 2022 at the earliest.

I was so excited seeing the Philippines there and I think you know the reason why right?

Yes.

@@CGPGrey oh I wish I could😂

@@CGPGrey Thanks for the life improvement vids

Not Grey but that is 100% against the rules.

I've seen some out of work airplane pilots that make UKposts videos mention they are doing the same. :-)

@@autohmae now i finally know how play's these games

@@makuru_dd3662 airplane enthusiasts is the answer. Are pilots part of the community, a whole bunch of them are. But I meant during covid pilots that usually don't play started to play at home because they didn't get work from the airlines. They would also go to the simulator at times or even fly empty airplanes for short moments to make sure they still are making enough hours to keep their license.

dying right now = -infinity dying later = 0, we all gonna die

It's the classic "put it off long enough and it won't matter". Accelerated death is the problem.

So a probability weighted pro con exercise? Do you have a dragon invasion plan that is currently in effect? (If not, that's probability in effect)

I'm a fan of the acceptable risk method - at one point we accept a risk of death, and that acceptance point is based off benefits of the activity

@@DemonKyle nope. driving my car has a small chance of killing me right now, but it has a bigger chance than some other things of killing me eventually, but that's not as big of a negative as, say, shooting up a completely unknown amount of heroin right now, which has a lot higher chance of killing me right now even if its overall the same chance of dying as if you drove a car a shitload for a long time. Remember: some infinities are larger than other infinities

Update: I do not want to go down in January 😐

Happy for you man, good luck Rami!

I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!

Celestia: ..I hope you like the moon..
