    My heart broke when Michael finally revealed he isn't an elephant
  • @drewajv
    Michael 8 years ago: what if everyone jumped at once Michael now: Hierarchical power structures that rely on individuals making decisions for the collective run counter to the way our brains have evolved to tackle collective problems
  • @lud3269
    Michael is a genius of communication, I guess that there's a staff that contribute to the script and editing and all that stuff, but the way that Michael explains such topics and ideas is amazingly good, every vsauce video feels like it's illegal to watch for free.
  • @kranjcalan
    This is first video of Vsauce that I watched and I am very happy that I found his channel.
  • @maulikshah28
    This legend didn't put a single ad in a 30 minute video
  • @mikeykwaak272
    Haters will say it has cuts, but we all know that Michael is actually materializing those objects out of thin air with his psychic powers.
  • @eggn00dle36
    I think this very well may have been the most profound Vsauce video to date. In every video, he uses reason and the reasoning of others to create mind-boggling content, yet here, he evaluates reasoning itself.
  • @dskb760
    watched the whole video, and every bit of a second was just phenomenal. Michael, thanks for making such thoughtful videos. I appreciate your work
  • @praker3829
    The only bad thing about Vsauce is that their videos are so thought provoking that I can't focus on what he's saying for more than 5 minutes because I get so involved in my line of thinking that I completely stop paying attention

    Im going to start admitting that I don't have an opinion on most topics. Thanks Mike and team!
  • Wow. Used to watch this channel like a decade ago. Can’t believe this guy is still out here killing it. Love it!
  • "We use conclusions to come to reasons," is the most perfect explanation of human interaction I've ever heard.
  • @nape6625
    That is THE Quality of content, the best media has to offer. Thank you Michael!
  • @evank3718
    Not gonna lie this is one of my favorite vsauce videos of all time. Always come back to rewatch every now and then
  • @andyzhang7890
    Vsauce dropping a new video is like an international holiday for internet surfers.
  • Michael: I am not an elephant. My disappointment is immeasurable and my whole day is ruined
  • I'm a masters graduate and Michael here is more clear, rational and wise than all my teachers combined since elementary. It is always such a pleasure learning science and concepts in this way. Love it! Please continue this Michael.
