[2554.30 --> 2559.58] arguments still remain it sure does that's the thing about a slippery slope is it starts really
[2559.58 --> 2563.58] high up and you actually don't know that it was a problem until you're face down in the mud at the bottom
[2563.58 --> 2571.90] so um yeah right so like i said i am far more comfortable with cybernetic upgrades than i am with
[2571.90 --> 2577.90] actually making changes at a genetic level but does that apply even if those cybernetic upgrades are
[2577.90 --> 2584.62] happening to an infant like the baby's born and you put an implant we already have that it's called a cochlear
[2584.62 --> 2592.54] implant you can use it to restore hearing to an infant that was born profoundly deaf so we have that um
[2592.54 --> 2601.50] um now the funny thing about that is you might think as a hearing person as someone who was who
[2601.50 --> 2607.98] was born without what at least some people would describe as a disability you might think well this
[2607.98 --> 2615.02] is so obvious if they couldn't hear and now they can hear then that's great cochlear implants for all
[2615.02 --> 2620.30] but there are actually people out there who feel like they've kind of had their identity robbed from
[2620.30 --> 2626.14] them because a cochlear implant does not make you hear as well as a hearing person in the installation
[2626.14 --> 2630.94] of a cochlear implant they have to remove and this might be outdated knowledge but as far as i know
[2630.94 --> 2639.34] they have to remove everything that was left of any uh hearing capability that you had before they
[2639.34 --> 2645.98] perform the operation making you sort of not whole as a as a person depending on how you kind of define
[2645.98 --> 2652.38] that and so they can end up feeling kind of robbed of a community because if they hadn't had it they
[2652.38 --> 2657.66] would have been part of the deaf community versus if they just hadn't been born deaf then they would
[2657.66 --> 2663.50] have been part of the hearing community but they're kind of in this weird limbo and you could make
[2663.50 --> 2669.50] objective arguments all day for why their position is wrong but it doesn't ultimately matter because if we
[2669.50 --> 2678.70] remove the emotional component of being human then why even bother wow i have a perfect emotional segue
[2678.70 --> 2683.50] for that we've got a hundred dollar super chat over here we should read out oh really wow who does that
[2684.14 --> 2692.30] uh thank you uh in advance um hey thanks for the everything during my job i hope you remember me
[2692.30 --> 2698.70] shoe 125 probably not lol still never got float plane working ah thanks for the everything during my
[2698.70 --> 2705.82] is this a person from the ncx for during my job i don't know or someone just watches ltt at work
[2705.82 --> 2714.54] i don't know um jules asked how was the cake i actually didn't get any i did how was the cake very
[2714.54 --> 2721.34] tall it was like how wide do i have to make this piece to get a regular like amount of cake here and
[2721.34 --> 2726.22] i was like i'm just gonna go regular width and it's like was it yummy it was like an almond style cake
[2726.22 --> 2731.18] right or something isn't that marzipan i don't know was it good yeah there's lots of custard in
[2731.18 --> 2735.82] it which i'm all about lots of many layers it was like i had this tiger wait did i take a photo of
[2735.82 --> 2742.30] this whatever it was good thanks for the cake uh makel says make a computer that is made from chip to
[2742.30 --> 2748.14] chip transistor and resistors from scratch that equals something from 1995. i think alex is actually working
[2748.14 --> 2753.82] on a diy cpu at the moment um by the way hi scott no it's like there's like a guide you can follow
[2753.82 --> 2758.70] like he doesn't have to invent it or anything um so yeah we have rick from rick and morty working in
[2758.70 --> 2765.10] oh yeah he's just over there making a flux capacitor defibrillator wait what space time
[2765.74 --> 2770.06] space time defibrillator when you're time traveling and someone's under cardiac arrest
[2770.06 --> 2777.42] all right one more topic the most important one of this week that's what you're picking
[2778.30 --> 2784.94] starbucks starbucks says it's gonna block porn on its public wi-fi next year so if you want it
[2784.94 --> 2790.54] if you want to jerk it in starbucks you're gonna have to do it sometime between now and december 31st
[2790.54 --> 2794.86] hey you don't have to i vote for christmas day because it'll probably be pretty empty
[2794.86 --> 2801.90] um yeah there's not really much else to say about that there's a little bit actually so there was
[2802.46 --> 2805.90] they're late to the party there's some people who are actually kind of mad because starbucks took
[2806.78 --> 2810.22] up to two years longer than other chains like subway and chick-fil-a and mcdonald's who have
[2810.22 --> 2816.78] already implemented this and there's actually a um a petition that circulated that got 26 000 signatures
[2817.82 --> 2823.02] um that was circulated by an organization who fights with these this kind of stuff and they they
[2823.02 --> 2826.94] have some pretty compelling arguments of why this should happen sooner so they say that it helps
[2827.82 --> 2834.06] teens and underage people um like when when they don't have these filters at starbucks these kids
[2834.06 --> 2838.78] can go to these public wi-fi places and and watch stuff that they otherwise couldn't watch at home under
[2839.90 --> 2846.86] home wi-fi and that also applies to sex offenders who by law can't visit certain sites right but
[2846.86 --> 2854.22] apparently they can when they go to these public spaces so actually there is one more topic youtube
[2854.22 --> 2861.42] is bringing down the paywall on their youtube originals apparently um they have determined that
[2861.42 --> 2867.18] the ad supported model that has sustained youtube basically since its uh acquisition from by google anyway
[2867.98 --> 2874.30] is the way to go so youtube originals are still getting funded but they will become free and ad
[2874.30 --> 2878.94] supported rather than only being available to youtube premium members personally i think this is a good
[2878.94 --> 2885.18] move um i mean for for my part anyway youtube premium is already a compelling enough value ad
[2885.98 --> 2891.34] or a compelling enough value just based on that i don't have to watch ads like and i don't even watch
[2891.34 --> 2896.78] much youtube like half the time i'm blocking the ad on my own video with my premium stupid premium
[2896.78 --> 2901.66] membership uh the fact that like youtube our google play music is included like it's already a great value i
[2901.66 --> 2908.78] i don't really understand why we need these originals uh like original series um but what this will
[2908.78 --> 2913.82] probably mean is that youtube is going to be cutting back the kind of funding that they had put aside for
[2913.82 --> 2917.90] youtube originals like it seems to me that they've just done some re-kid jiggering of the map on the
[2917.90 --> 2924.54] back end for how this youtube premium money is getting distributed and they've gone well we're spending a lot
[2924.54 --> 2928.30] on these originals but they don't seem to be actually driving subscriptions so what if we just kind of
[2928.30 --> 2933.66] cut that entire part of the equation and like we can still do youtube originals and that's like cool
[2933.66 --> 2937.42] but let's just make it accessible to everyone and then maybe it'll get a lot more views and then
[2937.42 --> 2941.18] like maybe people will care more about it and we can go like mainstream with this whole thing and then
[2941.18 --> 2945.98] there's like merch and licensing and like other platforms that we can license it to and like they
[2945.98 --> 2951.90] could take a more conventional approach to uh to high production value content and that's that's right
[2951.90 --> 2956.62] because even though it was a ton of money hundreds of millions of dollars that's still a drop in the
[2956.62 --> 2962.62] bucket compared to the tens of billions that other services like netflix and amazon prime and hulu are
[2962.62 --> 2969.10] spending so and no offense to ourselves and other youtubers but like quite frankly i would i would pick
[2969.74 --> 2977.18] you know the actual experienced hollywood production people that netflix works with over like youtubers
[2977.18 --> 2983.18] for these kinds of well the thing is you lose the spirit of what you like about the youtuber like i love
[2983.18 --> 2988.86] vsauce i didn't michael if you're watching i didn't really care for the mind frame that i watched and
[2988.86 --> 2994.22] the reason even though the concepts are cool is because it's no longer vsauce because the cool thing
[2994.22 --> 2999.66] you like about vsauce is michael's cool entrance and like it's just one camera and he sets it up in a
[2999.66 --> 3003.58] weird location in his house in a weird way and then suddenly i just feel like i'm watching discovery
[3003.58 --> 3008.54] channel or something with these epic sweeps all booms and it's like it doesn't have the same character
[3008.54 --> 3015.02] yeah yeah so this is gonna start uh it's actually starting in 2019 but it won't fully affect all
[3015.02 --> 3020.06] originals until 2020. there's probably some contract stuff going on there so some of the originals will
[3020.06 --> 3025.18] be free to watch with ads soon and others you'll have to wait a little while speaking of things that
[3025.18 --> 3031.42] you'll have to wait a little while for the wan show you're you're fixed next week because we are
[3031.42 --> 3037.98] done for the day it's uh wow it is 20 after 6 we are super done for the day we will see you again next
[3037.98 --> 3040.46] week same bat time same bat channel bye
[3046.70 --> 3048.78] one chat's like hey it's vsauce michael here
[3050.14 --> 3052.86] i would i did get to meet some of his support
[3052.86 --> 3053.26] stuff
[3053.26 --> 3055.34] oh that's i was honest
[3057.66 --> 3059.50] were they like oh wow that's so cool
[3059.50 --> 3060.30] you look for my head
[3061.74 --> 3065.26] nope they were like who no i don't even know if they have anything
[3065.26 --> 3072.06] you like
[3072.06 --> 3074.06] you
[3074.06 --> 3076.06] you
[3076.06 --> 3078.06] you
