  1. And a general distraction from getting work done. You can sure admiral their can-dew spewit, though.

  2. “What is truth, but a judgment, a perception, of the mind?”

  3. Modern music engraving is so much more complicated than people would guess.... given how easy it is to understand, overall.

  4.  @boxsterman77  There are many attempts at refinement and replacement out there. But I don't believe any of them have the level of elegance that standard notional already has.

  5. I don't think that's much of a changing of meaning. People have long had a tendency to especially honor or worship "cute" things.

  6. The Bible was the first book ever printed on the printing press (though, not in English). I am a bit surprised Rob did not mention that.

  7. Just like jealous often used for envious. 😥

  9. I can see a few issues like this. For one, I don't agree or "like" watering down all the vowel pronunciations to schwa. I pronounce pencil as "PĔN-sĭl". The word's spelling makes sense to me! Second, a single dot and a tittle are going to fight on the letter i. I noticed Rob showed two dots over the i for distinction, but then it looses its meaning (e.g. naïve). So, I don't think a dot would work.

  10. Really interesting (and, of course, well done!) video, Rob! 🤗

  11.  @topherthe11th23  “You can put something in italics and enclose it in quotation-marks, and that doesn't give it more prestige or legitimacy.” Well, most people call that a quotation. You didn't have to like it. “Religion is the idea that there are no facts, and that what is to be believed is what God TELLS us to believe.” This is FALSE, just for your information. “Religious people believe that God's authority isn't accountable to true/false distinctions. They make God into a SUBSTITUTE for Truth.” This is vapid nonsense, for your information. Not all religions are created equal, either. You may be a pragmatist, but to a skeptic there is no such thing as 100% firm, knowable truth. Any and all of our perceptions or beliefs are not reliable.

  12.  @001variation  A lot of math around it makes a lot of sense, if you want to call that evidence. QUESTION EVERYTHING!

  13. So are they.

  14. Good on her!!

  15. Yes. This is why we should spend much more time listening and empathizing with others, versus blatantly criticizing or condemning them. There may be about eight billion of us, but we really are all in this [life] together!

  16. It's ignorance. Sheer ignorance. Mr. Rob has already done a great video on such mistakes such as you describe. Naturally, I can't think of any examples off the top of my head this moment...

  17. My favorite Spanish word is canadiense. (For those that cannot speak Spanish, it's pronounced "kăhn-ăh-dēe-ĔN-sāy".)

  20.  @nawark4726  I do believe that the OP's point is that isn't what the word truth is supposed to mean. An actual truth is something that is objectively true for everyone and everything. A so-called "personal truth" is a belief.

  21. Oh, so true! I've noticed this, too. I tend to complain about fake computer narration voices in YouTube videos, and other people call them "AI voices" when they have nothing whatsoever to do with artificial intelligence. Some people are just not interested in the details. I'll side with Peter—the details matter so we can communicate with each other effectively. Unfortunately, languages evolve from use and misuse, and we cannot arrest that.

  27.  @001variation  String theory (M theory) can make predictions. Right now those predictions are theoretically mathematical, but they won't necessarily stay that way indefinitely. Some things used to be thought impossible and today we know they're not.

  28. I've always taken bemused to mean "confused or perplexed in an amusing, non-frustrating, laid-back fashion."

  29.  @topherthe11th23  Oh, please. People quote others all the time, and they don't know the source. It's still a quotation. You may not know who invented the calculator you're using but it's still an invention. I'm happy for you that you've neatly packaged up religious belief or experience NOT shared or experienced by you into cute little nuggets that you can twist and discard. It must be so reassuring to believe that you have everything figured out. Do you, at least, recognize your closed mind? You talk about trusting truth proved by others but you have no faith in those others at all. I don't believe you've ever actually known or talked to a religious person. You have no idea what makes one tick. Who imposes the limits on what you can know—yourself or others? I agree with your last sentence. Thank you for admitting that the idea of truth only manifests in the imagination. I rest my proverbial case.

  30.  @rhoharane  Fantastic statement. Agree wholeheartedly. Bravo!

  31. 21:27 Rob! You're jealous? Don't you intend to mean envious?

  32.  @davidgould9431  I know, I was making a little joke. Though, the imaginary and real parts can be separated... they're just not complex numbers any longer.

  33. 0:43 The words racist and racism immediately come to my mind. I'm often annoyed by people using jealous for envious.

  35. @RobWords 0:30 Unbelievably cold? I don't want to hear it! It's currently –15°F (–26°C) where I am, and the wind chill has been –20-something to –36°F (–38°C) depending upon whom you ask. BIG cold spell hitting the USA right now! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

  36. Do you pronounce the digraph th as two, separate sounds? (The Irish do.)

  43. “Why are you putting so much emphasis on the H??”

  44.  @bleesev2  Also very good points! It's reassuring that there are actually thoughtful people in a off-the-cuff discussion like this, versus bitter old "wise" men. It's not like these types of things have not been discussed and explored since man grew a brain, and it's not gonna be solved here, either.

  45. None of these are confusing.

  46.  @derekmills5394  "Cute" and "adorable" are still just opinions. Same for "pretty" "beautiful" "voluptuous" "ugly" "uncomely" "fat" "skinny" "hairy" "loud" "quiet" "tall" "short" "sexy" and so on....

  50. Looking at or even READING these books does not harm anyone. It's believing them, taking them to heart, and succumbing to the notion that they know what they're talking about that is the where the harm starts. We must not forget history, or we'll certainly be doomed to repeat it.
