[TS]

because I don't want to like hurt your
[TS]
00:00:05
◼

00:00:09
◼
►
how you do with these things as well
[TS]
00:00:11
◼
►
hurt my feelings again immediately
[TS]
00:00:14
◼
►
concerns raised to maximum if I could
[TS]
00:00:18
◼
►
free to be talking about we are seven
[TS]
00:00:21
◼
►
seconds into the podcast and I I'm sorry

[TS]
00:00:30
◼
►

[TS]
00:00:34
◼
►
easiest person to be friends with
[TS]
00:00:37
◼
►

◼
►
a really nice guy and you're very
[TS]
00:00:42
◼
►
generous and consider a whole but you
[TS]
00:00:44
◼
►
know that certain types of interactions
[TS]
00:00:47
◼
►
and certain things about your
[TS]
00:00:49
◼
►
personality confuse other humans and
[TS]
00:00:53
◼
►
cause problems and tensions and things
[TS]
00:00:55
◼
►
like that right but you know that don't
[TS]
00:00:58
◼
►
I know some of my interactions confusing
[TS]
00:01:00
◼
►
Brady that's true yes
[TS]
00:01:01
◼
►
Yeah right there anyway so sometimes and
[TS]
00:01:05
◼
►
because of a lot of our interaction is
[TS]
00:01:07
◼
►
like online like through gmail or
[TS]
00:01:09
◼
►
particularly three messaging and that
[TS]
00:01:12
◼
►
I mean we joke that sometimes can
[TS]
00:01:13
◼
►
compound the problem because they can be
[TS]
00:01:15
◼
►
miscommunications because of lack of
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
body language and nuanced and just
[TS]
00:01:20
◼
►
having the text there sometimes gets us
[TS]
00:01:21
◼
►
both very confused haha that's okay i
[TS]
00:01:24
◼
►
live with it you know and I'm sure you
[TS]
00:01:25
◼
►
live with it too but I'm trying an
[TS]
00:01:28
◼
►
experiment okay because i think i've
[TS]
00:01:30
◼
►
been compounding the problem
[TS]
00:01:31
◼
►
unnecessarily
[TS]
00:01:32
◼
►
oh yeah and what I am experimenting with
[TS]
00:01:35
◼
►
is trying a new icon to represent you on
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
my operating system because it will be
[TS]
00:01:44
◼
►
no surprise to anyone that I use the
[TS]
00:01:47
◼
►
cgpgrey I got that you you know he's
[TS]
00:01:51
◼
►
everywhere it seems obvious that's why
[TS]
00:01:53
◼
►
would you so everytime message from you
[TS]
00:01:54
◼
►
comes up that pops the little black
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
circle with a cog honor and the Little
[TS]
00:01:58
◼
►
flask and to me like that's you
[TS]
00:02:02
◼
►
the problem with that is and this has
[TS]
00:02:04
◼
►
always been the way with your
[TS]
00:02:05
◼
►
representation online
[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
not only is anonymous it's kind of a
[TS]
00:02:10
◼
►
little bit unfriendly
[TS]
00:02:12
◼
►
because you know its mechanical and
[TS]
00:02:14
◼
►
scientific and it's very dark and very
[TS]
00:02:16
◼
►
non-human is this unfriendly I'm not
[TS]
00:02:20
◼
►
sure I agree with you on that
[TS]
00:02:21
◼
►
ok I won't call unfriendly but I didn't
[TS]
00:02:23
◼
►
look all that friendly I think it's very
[TS]
00:02:25
◼
►
cool and it works really well for your
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
YouTube channel when your twitter and
[TS]
00:02:28
◼
►
all those things you know I think it's a
[TS]
00:02:29
◼
►
masterstroke on your behalf but having
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
that come up and look me in the face and
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
have been frustrated by you in some
[TS]
00:02:37
◼
►
communication
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
mmm i think compounds the problem ok so
[TS]
00:02:41
◼
►
what I have done in the last week move
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
is I've actually got I've chosen a photo
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
of you when you got a big smile on your
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
face and you look kind of goofy and
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
we're messing around from some photo we
[TS]
00:02:51
◼
►
took ages ago with a bright color and
[TS]
00:02:54
◼
►
background and I've made that my icon on
[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►
my phone for you so every time i get a
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
message from you
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
I've got a big goofy cgpgrey smiling at
[TS]
00:03:02
◼
►
me out of my phone and I think it just
[TS]
00:03:04
◼
►
diffuses the tone of whatever's going on
[TS]
00:03:07
◼
►
all the time I think it's been a
[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
masterstroke on my behalf that you think
[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
this has been effective
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
yeah i do and i think we should think
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
carefully about the photos and icons
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
were used to represent people living on
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
their phones as we get more and more
[TS]
00:03:20
◼
►
down this path of interacting with
[TS]
00:03:22
◼
►
people in this way I think it can make a
[TS]
00:03:24
◼
►
big difference
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
it obviously has in this case what do
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
you have for me when that message for me
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
comes up I have the picture of you the
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
one looks like it's professionally done
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
from ages ago where you're holding a
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
tiny puppy Audrey that's the one that I
[TS]
00:03:37
◼
►
have of you you know that was just taken
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
by my wife with an iphone in a kitchen
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
well it's very professional-looking that
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
it's very well done that is the photo
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
that i have a view that is also the
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
photo of you that for some reason keeps
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
replicating itself over and over in my
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
iPhoto library it's like I can't even
[TS]
00:03:55
◼
►
tweet how many times that happens but
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
it's like that have complained about
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
this on Twitter virus i know i'll get a
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
complaint about it again but for some
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
reason when i open my iPhoto library i'm
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
going to say at least once a month
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
there are hundreds of copies of two
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
images one of which is this photograph
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
of you Brady holding Audrey and the
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
other is a Hitler mean from my reddit
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
video from like three years which is a
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
stupid picture of him
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
ler wearing high socks and looking like
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
an idiot in shorts right it's like I
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
have this Brady Hitler meme thing that
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
just replicates over and over and I am
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
convinced it's getting worse over time
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
that when i opened up my iPhoto library
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
it's like five more every time because
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
now it's like screens and screens that I
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
have to scroll through to get rid of
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
these hundreds and hundreds of photos so
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
how just realizing is I'm saying this
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
out loud while i do think it's a
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
fantastic photograph of you and i have
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
been using it as my contact photo of you
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
for a long time
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
I'm realizing maybe I to also have some
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
negative associations with that
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
particular image and the quite literally
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
thousands of times i have deleted it and
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
it still will not go away so maybe I
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
should select a different photograph of
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
you as well that's going to be some
[TS]
00:05:14
◼
►
metaphor fair professional relationship
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
yep i don't know what it is but it's got
[TS]
00:05:19
◼
►
to be something there
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
it's in there somewhere anyway do you
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►
have like icons for everyone in your
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
phone like everyone here messages you
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
are most people icon muscle photos so do
[TS]
00:05:30
◼
►
you attach a person to pretty much
[TS]
00:05:32
◼
►
everyone who contact you
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
yeah i'll attach a picture i mean the
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
main reason that you need the picture is
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
that you don't accidentally send a
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
message to the wrong person right like
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
what I messaging with your wife and
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
we're talking about you behind your back
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
right slagging you off yeah I don't want
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
to accidentally send a message to you so
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
I have to make sure like there's a clear
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
visual representation of who you're
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
talking to so that's why it like it's
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
everybody has to have a photograph it
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
would be incredibly stressful if they
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
were just the defaults person outline
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
icons that would be no good at all no
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
good it's like initial sometimes the
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
initials of the person isn't so I'd be
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
like eh that's right yeah but that's no
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
good you have to have a photograph do
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
you stuck with it very often that we
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
change the photo of your life like you
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
know once a month or something if you
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
had the same one forever
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
ok so my wife has been getting on my
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
case about this
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
yeah but I use a photograph of her that
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
is at this point eight years old she
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
keeps wanting me to update to a more
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
modern one and even just recently like
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
hopefully sent me a few well posed
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
photographs like you know these could be
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
my contacts what
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
but I feel like I know but that's not
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
you that's the the contact photo that
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
i've been using of you for forever
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
yeah it's just like now this is the
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
digital representation of my wife and
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
yeah even though she doesn't necessarily
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
think it i still think she looks exactly
[TS]
00:06:51
◼
►
the same i can tell the difference i see
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
no reason to change it changing those
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
pictures is a big deal i have some
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
sympathy with you there I don't change
[TS]
00:06:58
◼
►
those things easily
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
it's like once it's locked in it becomes
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
like this is not supposed to be a
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
current photo of the person like this is
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
just the shorthand representation of the
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
person but that's why I've had to change
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
yours though I've had to change yours
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
because i'm doing psychological testing
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
on myself I'm saying whether using
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
something a bit more personal and
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
friendly will help defuse the
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
frustration you sometimes inside me i
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
think it's a good idea and also maybe
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
you two should send me some
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
recommendations you might have what i
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
should use for your contact photo i
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
think i think maybe I do have to change
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
my contact photo for you in the system
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
as well because of the deletion
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
associations are gonna shoot this

found all sorts of variations of this
[TS]
00:13:42
◼

and i are all quite similar and it is
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
kind of a black shield blue and in the
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
top left corner is the Sun and men in
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
the bottom right corner is just a hand

pointing at the Sun just a finger is

someone was having a little fun at the

00:14:07
◼

wikipedias expense because I do know

[TS]
00:14:17
◼

things to make them funny and so I
[TS]
00:14:19

00:14:21
◼
►
in and added in this Brady coat of arms

00:14:24
◼
►
which is the hand pointing at a thing
[TS]
00:14:25
◼

00:16:53
◼
►
it's a good organization maybe it's just
[TS]
00:16:55
◼
►
a reflection of the fact that I follow a
[TS]
00:16:57
◼
►
lot of BBC on Twitter and so they have
[TS]
00:16:59
◼
►
more opportunities to irritate me
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
ok a bigger tag i noticed three-word

00:17:04
◼

[TS]
00:17:08
◼
►

[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
when they do that like that almost
[TS]
00:17:50
◼
►
hoping for like a retweet or and because

00:17:54
◼
►

[TS]
00:18:11
◼
►
photo of that POTUS walking on the

00:18:15
◼
►
that to him like because you when you
[TS]
00:18:16
◼
►
add someone the main reason you would
[TS]
00:18:18
◼

add someone is so that they will see

[TS]
00:19:02
◼
►
think that that's exactly what they
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
should be doing what I'm wondering is
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
did the French president's not have a
[TS]
00:19:07
◼
►
twitter account like is that why they
[TS]
00:19:08
◼
►
said the French president and POTUS I
[TS]
00:19:10
◼
►
was just making that up
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
french but yeah I don't even know what
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
it was about so it was like that French
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
Prezi and notice but also sometimes the
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
twitter handle doesn't always reflect
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
who the person is like I guess most
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
people know that
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
POTUS means President of the United
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
States but everyone would know that and
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
so sometimes with sport it'll be you
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
know fabulous go today by at Johnny 371
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
and because that's what some sports
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
person has their twitter handle it then
[TS]
00:19:40
◼
►
you don't even know who the person is
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
who scored the go and also you say they
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
should do it
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
I mean why should they do it to help
[TS]
00:19:47
◼
►
sort of the interconnectivity of Twitter
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
and build the platform that's not what
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
the baby should be
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
I think that this is like the grammar of
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
twitter right the BBC being on Twitter
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
in the first place means well you should
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
be using the system like the way it is
[TS]
00:20:01
◼
►
to me it's like for the longest time and
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
even still it always bothers me how
[TS]
00:20:05
◼
►
newspapers seem incredibly reluctant to
[TS]
00:20:09
◼
►
actually link to with thing right
[TS]
00:20:11
◼
►
whenever they talk about it in their
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
news articles like if I ever find a news
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
article about a thing and it says like
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
other talk about that here's this
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
amazing thing that someone is making and
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
they mentioned the website but they
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
don't link to it was like god damn it
[TS]
00:20:23
◼
►
like you know you're on the internet
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
right guys like you yeah you think to a
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
thing and I always find that super
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
frustrating i agree with that gray and i
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
agree on twitter also there's like an
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
etiquette and if I mentioning you i will
[TS]
00:20:34
◼
►
use your at rather than just a great
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
like I agree with delicate but I feel
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
like there is a line somewhere of kind
[TS]
00:20:40
◼
►
of formality and people who should be a
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
little bit above her and I think once
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
you've got the british broadcasting
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
corporation and the President of the
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
United States I hold them to a slightly
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
different standard there are times they
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
should use at some things like that and
[TS]
00:20:54
◼
►
i can even handle you know emojis and
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
things like that but this just feels
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
wrong it just felt juvenile calling him
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
at POTUS yeah it just felt a bit wrong
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
to me but i'll defer to your judgment if
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
it will fit thank you but I'd everyone
[TS]
00:21:07
◼
►
just thinking like somewhere almost
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
certainly there has to be like a style
[TS]
00:21:12
◼
►
guide that exists for the BBC twitter
[TS]
00:21:15
◼
►
account are man i'd love to get my hands
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
on that
[TS]
00:21:17
◼
►
yeah I'd ripped that bad boy up and
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
rewrite and world no.3 word weeds
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
everywhere to it's no use of the flames
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
have someone is on fire but I'm just
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
thinking like a style guide must exist
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
somewhere right like this has to be a
[TS]
00:21:33
◼
►
thing and I think the problem will run
[TS]
00:21:35
◼
►
into with the style guide is trying to
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
define an arbitrary line of seriousness
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
over which you're not going to use the
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
Twitter handles and I think it's
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
especially weird in a place like Twitter
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
because you can easily end up with
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
enough the BBC has a rule like Oh heads
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
of state will always use their names and
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
you won't use their twitter handles but
[TS]
00:21:54
◼
►
that also just runs into the weird
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
popularity thing on Twitter that like
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
tons of heads of state who have
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
different numbers of Twitter followers
[TS]
00:22:02
◼
►
right versus like actual celebrities
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
were like million
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
and Brazilians of Twitter followers and
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
she's like I don't think there's any
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
consistent way to come down on a ruling
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
of when you should use the name versus a
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
twitter handle
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
I think if you're on twitter you should
[TS]
00:22:14
◼
►
just use the Twitter handle like I think
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
that's the medium that's the way that
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
this works well I'll say two things to
[TS]
00:22:20
◼
►
that one is I actually feel like they're
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
probably is not a very well adhered to
[TS]
00:22:25
◼
►
style guide for the BBC and twitter
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
because I find them very inconsistent
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
moving on this and i know baby see you
[TS]
00:22:31
◼
►
know I used to live by a baby style
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
guide so I know that about PB star gods
[TS]
00:22:34
◼
►
he and Twitter gives me the impression
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
it's the Wild West and they haven't got
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
their act together
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
who and secondly I don't know where that
[TS]
00:22:41
◼
►
line is and you make a fair point you
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
know where would you draw that line but
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
that life does exist because if for
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
example the Pope died tomorrow heaven
[TS]
00:22:50
◼
►
forbid i can't see the BBC saying oh my
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
goodness
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
@pontifex has died like they wouldn't do
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
that because that would feel really
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
really inappropriate and that shows that
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
there is a lion and therefore there can
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
be a discussion about where that line is
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
and that's me feels like there's
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
something in there which is like the
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
office versus the person I don't know I
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
feel like I have to think about that but
[TS]
00:23:13
◼
►
you're right i like it would be weird if
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
that like at pope awesome dead now that
[TS]
00:23:17
◼
►
would not seem like an appropriate way
[TS]
00:23:19
◼
►
to do that
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
yeah I feel like you've introduced a
[TS]
00:23:22
◼
►
little crack here but I still feel like
[TS]
00:23:24
◼
►
I'm ok with kids with the twitter
[TS]
00:23:26
◼
►
handles think I'm not okay without just
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
looking I can't believe this so i have
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
the current president's twitter profile
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
open up on my page so i was like i just
[TS]
00:23:34
◼
►
went to the POTUS thing
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
yeah and the president is using the
[TS]
00:23:39
◼
►
thing that I can't stand which is like
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
the three now and description of
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
yourself which almost always starts with
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
the thing that other people will care
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
the least about and then ends with the
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
thing that everybody cares the most
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
about what is a to the president's for
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
your description right now it says dad
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
husband 44th President of the United
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
it's okay thank you ate that like great
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
you know that has a total humblebrag it
[TS]
00:24:07
◼
►
drives me nuts when like some famous
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
important person is like father right
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
they put it is their first thing like
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►

[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
your twitter profile because you're a
[TS]
00:24:17
◼
►
father right like that
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
going to you for the thing that you're
[TS]
00:24:21
◼
►
known for and it's extra funny to me
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
that it's fallen into this pattern of so
[TS]
00:24:25
◼
►
many people's Twitter bios have like
[TS]
00:24:27
◼
►
three nouns as the description and it's
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
like and sodas @potus what would yours
[TS]
00:24:33
◼
►
be great what would your three baby like
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
in that humble brag zone right it
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
wouldn't be like you know human male
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
youtube soup stir
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
yeah that's what i would do this is why
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
I don't have a twitter description it's
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
a fundamentally impossible to write a
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
good one so i just did not know so I'm
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
gonna have to read in mind before this
[TS]
00:24:51
◼
►
podcast is that so yeah now look let's
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
see what is within was very have doggie

00:24:56
◼
►
owner filmmakers something-something

[TS]
00:25:06
◼
►
you actually have an easy one
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
you have a decent one because it
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
actually gets to the heart of what you
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
are and why someone would be looking at
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
your twitter profile yeah so as of right
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
now it says video journalist and YouTube
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
person and then you have that number
[TS]
00:25:19
◼
►
file at periodic videos at hello
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
Internet nice to see and other stuff and
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
location the mighty black stump I think
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
that's good i think i think that's a
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
perfectly good profile because it
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
clarifies who you are and there's like a
[TS]
00:25:34
◼
►
little bit of a joke for people who
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
would like that
[TS]
00:25:36
◼
►
yeah but i swear to god i would throw up
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
in my office right now it actually
[TS]
00:25:39
◼
►
started with like doggy owner husband's
[TS]
00:25:43
◼
►
youtube person that would be the worst
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
you don't do that i went to that so
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
great it's been probably two new stories
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
this week that have caught my eye and I
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
wanted to discuss with you because both
[TS]
00:25:58
◼
►
of them made me think of you for various
[TS]
00:26:00
◼
►
reasons i don't particularly want to
[TS]
00:26:02
◼
►
talk about the new story but there was a
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
big news story in the UK with the last
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
week or two and it dealt with a 14 year
[TS]
00:26:08
◼
►
old girl who was dying I think she was
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
dying for something i can so it was
[TS]
00:26:13
◼
►
really was a terrible story but she
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
wanted to be cryogenically frozen after
[TS]
00:26:17
◼
►
she died and you know hoping that one
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
day their cue would be found and she
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
would be brought back to life and there
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
was a whole bit of controversy about it
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
to do with her parents
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
we don't need to go into that who but
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
what I did want to go into which is the
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
whole issue of because it did it got
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
people talking about cryonics again and
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
lots of articles and things around the
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
place about what they do and how it
[TS]
00:26:35
◼
►
works soon how people can be frozen and
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
it did get me thinking that if someone
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
said to me Brady there was one person
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
who you're friends with who actually has
[TS]
00:26:45
◼
►
paid for and it's going to be
[TS]
00:26:46
◼
►
cryogenically frozen up that person dies
[TS]
00:26:49
◼
►
which one of your friends do you think
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
it is without doubt my answer would be
[TS]
00:26:55
◼
►
cgpgrey really really there's nobody
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
else even think of on top of that list
[TS]
00:27:01
◼
►
though no because I don't know where you
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
stand on this and I deliberately haven't
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
asked you about where you stand on this
[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
but I can imagine you are either really
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
opposed to it and think it's ridiculous
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
or then I slightly lean this way I think
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
it tickles you and I think it's possible
[TS]
00:27:17
◼
►
that something you have not ruled out
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
doing so where do you stand on the on
[TS]
00:27:21
◼
►
the issue
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
chronixx in general tell me your story
[TS]
00:27:24
◼
►
gray well you're wrong in that I haven't
[TS]
00:27:28
◼
►
signed up for
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
cryonics yet if you're looking for a
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
friend who's signed up and written a
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
check i am not on that list
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
however if you're assembling a list of
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
people who have seriously looked into it
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
and found inadequate cryogenic solutions
[TS]
00:27:45
◼
►
in the UK and the US were unable to pay
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
for it then i would also be on that list
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
wow so you have that serious about it
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
yeah I looked into this little while ago
[TS]
00:27:54
◼
►
I feel good I guess it's not the most
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
amazing prediction the world was
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
considering your interest but yeah I
[TS]
00:28:00
◼
►
think it's a fantastically accurate
[TS]
00:28:02
◼
►
particular right score one of the
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
braided yeah you definitely win the say
[TS]
00:28:05
◼
►
what you feel like you know you've got a
[TS]
00:28:06
◼
►
few brochures and look at a few websites
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
and priced up have you and didn't find
[TS]
00:28:10
◼
►
the deal you're looking for yet
[TS]
00:28:12
◼
►
well no it wasn't that I didn't find the
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
deal that I was looking for it's just
[TS]
00:28:15
◼
►
that I'm going to say this was like
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►
probably at least three years ago now so
[TS]
00:28:18
◼
►
I haven't really researched it in a
[TS]
00:28:20
◼
►
little while yeah but at least at the
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
time when i came across was that it
[TS]
00:28:25
◼
►
seemed like America was way harder core
[TS]
00:28:28
◼
►
into the cryogenics industry yeah
[TS]
00:28:30
◼
►
probably because it has a larger number
[TS]
00:28:34
◼
►
of slightly nutty super wealthy people
[TS]
00:28:37
◼
►
who are happy to fund it is my gas yeah
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
i'm gonna bet cryogenic sales are
[TS]
00:28:42
◼
►
fantastic in a place like Silicon Valley
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
i'm basing that on nothing
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
except again yeah and so maybe that's
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
why that industry exists more there but
[TS]
00:28:50
◼
►
it seemed like they were a serious
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
number of services that you could really
[TS]
00:28:53
◼
►
sign up for at least the time when I
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
looked into it in the UK there was
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
nothing that seemed adequate or
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
trustworthy for what I was really
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
looking for in a cryogenic sir but
[TS]
00:29:05
◼
►
before we go into that I mean you are
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
right America and Russia are the only
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
place that have facilities that are
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
doing at the moment interesting about
[TS]
00:29:13
◼
►
1,600 people signed on to do in the
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
future i think only a couple hundred or
[TS]
00:29:17
◼
►
a few hundred people have actually a
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
frozen at the moment you say you
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
couldn't find what you're looking for
[TS]
00:29:22
◼
►
what are you looking for
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
well again trying to dig a big memories
[TS]
00:29:27
◼
►
of what it was at the time
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
part of it was these things were
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
shockingly costly some of them were just
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
like I cannot possibly afford this
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
really because the one thing that struck
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
me was that it was cheaper than I
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
expected
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
hmm ok still expensive like you don't
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
know something everyone can do but I was
[TS]
00:29:42
◼
►
surprised that was a bit cheaper than I
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
thought maybe prices have come down in
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
the past couple years right it's like
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
genetic testing maybe the price keeps
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
having every 18 months as time goes
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
along eventually everybody will get it
[TS]
00:29:52
◼
►
yeah but whatever it was it was too
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
expensive at the time but more than that
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
it was a question of time to freeze like
[TS]
00:29:59
◼
►
how fast can they theoretically get you
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
froze so yeah because I feel like surely
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
if this has any chance of working that
[TS]
00:30:07
◼
►
is the key factor in how mushy do you
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
get before they stick you in the freezer
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
that has to be the thing and so in
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
America there were a bunch of services
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
that basically like their whole selling
[TS]
00:30:17
◼
►
point was we can get you frozen really
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
fast after your declared dead yeah and
[TS]
00:30:22
◼
►
it seemed like that was not the case in
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
the UK right in the UK was like oh yeah
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
once you die will stick you in a box on
[TS]
00:30:28
◼
►
a free shipping across the ocean to get
[TS]
00:30:30
◼
►
you to America then we'll freeze you
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
like once the rats finished
[TS]
00:30:33
◼
►
that's what it seems like so yeah didn't
[TS]
00:30:35
◼
►
seem like a high probability of success
[TS]
00:30:37
◼
►
without yeah I'm a little dismissive
[TS]
00:30:39
◼
►
over and skeptical about it and so this
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
afternoon i was reading a bit about and
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
the more I read about it didn't start
[TS]
00:30:46
◼
►
appealing to me a little more I read
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
about it the more I thought no this is
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
totally going to appeal to gray and
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
because you can kind of make it a
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
justification for a quite easily you
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
could say well okay maybe if the
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
technology for cryogenic least
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
boring people now is flawed because it
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
is florida blue that doesn't matter it
[TS]
00:31:03
◼
►
just means it will be a longer wait
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
until the technology exists that can
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
undo that floor and get around the
[TS]
00:31:08
◼
►
problem any problem can be fixed if we
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
wait enough years and you know then I
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
started going off into all sorts of
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
Pascal's wages and all sorts of things
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
about it all becomes quite philosophical
[TS]
00:31:17
◼
►
and I started thinking my god I've
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
stumbled into a cgpa video here that
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
that's a good idea
[TS]
00:31:24
◼
►
yeah it would be a good video after you
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
actually i'll do on cryogenics and I
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
speculate that will be your favorite you
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
love that
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
yeah so why doesn't appeal to you that
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
like what is it that you find resistant
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
about the idea
[TS]
00:31:34
◼
►
well I don't think it will work I think
[TS]
00:31:37
◼
►
the technologies to crude and if it did
[TS]
00:31:40
◼
►
work and they're able to revive
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
something in a thousand years time I
[TS]
00:31:45
◼
►
don't think that thing would be me and I
[TS]
00:31:47
◼
►
think there would be no connection of
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
consciousness and it would be kind of a
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
pointless thing I mean you might as well
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
the frozen my shoe and brought back to
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
life it's just a vessel that won't have
[TS]
00:31:57
◼
►
me in it so I'm pretty skeptical about
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
the whole thing and maybe all that money
[TS]
00:32:01
◼
►
could be used for something better for
[TS]
00:32:03
◼
►
family and you know almost any cause
[TS]
00:32:07
◼
►
would be a better use of the money but I
[TS]
00:32:10
◼
►
then do you think you know what do I
[TS]
00:32:12
◼
►
know about what we're gonna know in a
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
thousand years and maybe having my
[TS]
00:32:16
◼
►
frozen brain will make something
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
possible that i just had don't
[TS]
00:32:19
◼
►
understand this with the whole the
[TS]
00:32:21
◼
►
Pascal's wager stuff starts coming in
[TS]
00:32:22
◼
►
doesn't say you know that it's not for
[TS]
00:32:25
◼
►
me but I'm finding it harder and harder
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
to dismiss people is complete nut cases
[TS]
00:32:30
◼
►
for wanting to do it because who knows
[TS]
00:32:32
◼
►
where we're going to be in a thousand
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
years and maybe just having someone to
[TS]
00:32:35
◼
►
turn our 1000 years will be enough to
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
completely bring them back in their
[TS]
00:32:39
◼
►
consciousness and everything for all we
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
know there's so much stuff we don't
[TS]
00:32:41
◼
►
understand about people and
[TS]
00:32:43
◼
►
consciousness and the brain sort of
[TS]
00:32:47
◼
►
fascinated by thing you just tossed out
[TS]
00:32:48
◼
►
there and I want to go back to this but
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
when you said let's imagine that the
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
free 0 you die and they freeze you get
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
in a thousand years they wake you up
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
yep when you said that you think it
[TS]
00:32:59
◼
►
might not be you
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
ya go what do you mean by that you're
[TS]
00:33:02
◼
►
not going to pull the sleep card on me
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►
know i know but i'm curious by what you
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
mean like do you mean that the thing
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
that wakes up will be
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
witches are like won't be alive or I'm
[TS]
00:33:14
◼
►
not quite sure what you mean by that I
[TS]
00:33:16
◼
►
don't know you're asking me to speculate
[TS]
00:33:17
◼
►
as I think now but I think if it has a
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
consciousness that probably wouldn't be
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
my consciousness i don't think the two
[TS]
00:33:23
◼
►
would be connected i think there would
[TS]
00:33:25
◼
►
be a catastrophic breakdown of whatever
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
makes me me caused by who
[TS]
00:33:32
◼
►
I death be the freezing process and that
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
is something far more catastrophic than
[TS]
00:33:37
◼
►
falling asleep i'm not bringing it to
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
sleep so you think it would be like a
[TS]
00:33:41
◼
►
brand-new person waking up is that what
[TS]
00:33:43
◼
►
you mean I don't know I find that hard
[TS]
00:33:44
◼
►
to believe it would be me
[TS]
00:33:45
◼
►
that's very interesting whether it's
[TS]
00:33:47
◼
►
something with consciousness and I
[TS]
00:33:48
◼
►
probably would all I would be doing was
[TS]
00:33:50
◼
►
to be putting down you know hundred
[TS]
00:33:52
◼
►
thousand bucks or something so that
[TS]
00:33:54
◼
►
something else could exist in a thousand
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►
years that's not me and will be plenty
[TS]
00:33:58
◼
►
of stuff to exist in a thousand years
[TS]
00:33:59
◼
►
without something happen to be made from
[TS]
00:34:01
◼
►
the mush of my brain
[TS]
00:34:03
◼
►
mmm stand by I'm just fascinated by that
[TS]
00:34:05
◼
►
because i have had over the years
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
conversations on cryogenics with people
[TS]
00:34:09
◼
►
sometimes I've never heard anybody have
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
that worried that the thing that that
[TS]
00:34:13
◼
►
would wake up wouldn't be them i think
[TS]
00:34:16
◼
►
that's really interesting
[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►
that's a really interesting different
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
take on it that I find surprising i just
[TS]
00:34:22
◼
►
think the preservation of the brain is
[TS]
00:34:24
◼
►
such a messy process at the moment and
[TS]
00:34:26
◼
►
so much stuff goes wrong with it and I
[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
just don't think it could still be may
[TS]
00:34:30
◼
►
that's interesting i guess my take on it
[TS]
00:34:34
◼
►
the whole reason why I would be open to
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
the idea and seriously looked into it at
[TS]
00:34:38
◼
►
one point is because I feel like well
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
this is a total game of probabilities I
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
think anybody who's frozen now might
[TS]
00:34:47
◼
►
have quite literally less than a
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
one-in-a-billion chance of ever being
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
revived everything we seem to know about
[TS]
00:34:53
◼
►
like the way that the freezing process
[TS]
00:34:54
◼
►
works even putting aside like how likely
[TS]
00:34:57
◼
►
is it that an institution that is
[TS]
00:34:59
◼
►
preserving these bodies is going to last
[TS]
00:35:01
◼
►
for as long as necessary
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
there's so many questions around the
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
possibility of it working but the thing
[TS]
00:35:09
◼
►
is when you die and they burn your
[TS]
00:35:13
◼
►
corpse or bury you in the ground you
[TS]
00:35:16
◼
►
have an absolutely zero percent chance
[TS]
00:35:18
◼
►
of coming back so I feel like well
[TS]
00:35:21
◼
►
you're not going to need that money
[TS]
00:35:22
◼
►
after you're dead and so why not spend
[TS]
00:35:25
◼
►
some money
[TS]
00:35:26
◼
►
me on essentially like the grandest
[TS]
00:35:29
◼
►
lottery ticket that is possible
[TS]
00:35:31
◼
►
yeah why not roll those dice y just walk
[TS]
00:35:35
◼
►
away from the table and say I've had
[TS]
00:35:36
◼
►
enough thanks it was fun
[TS]
00:35:39
◼
►
why not take one last roll of the dice
[TS]
00:35:41
◼
►
with your dying hand I feel like I can
[TS]
00:35:43
◼
►
see that being worth doing
[TS]

I hear your argument i guess the
[TS]
00:35:46
◼
►
question is at what point to those odds
[TS]
00:35:49
◼
►
become so small that you think a better
[TS]
00:35:52
◼
►
use of your money would be instead of
[TS]
00:35:54
◼
►
buying that lottery ticket to let
[TS]
00:35:56
◼
►
someone you love now use the money for
[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►
something
[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►
yeah they can use it for cryogenic
[TS]
00:36:01
◼
►
services that can use it for ya yeah i
[TS]
00:36:04
◼
►
think the payoff of potentially having
[TS]
00:36:06
◼
►
life in the future is shockingly high it
[TS]
00:36:11
◼
►
does become very very Pascal's wager e
[TS]
00:36:13
◼
►
in a sense because if you're talking
[TS]
00:36:14
◼
►
about like infinite rewards and
[TS]
00:36:16
◼
►
intestinal possibilities
[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
I can totally see where this becomes a
[TS]
00:36:19
◼
►
thing where you can just kind of come
[TS]
00:36:20
◼
►
down on one side or the other but I feel
[TS]
00:36:23
◼
►
like the possibility of living again
[TS]
00:36:25
◼
►
after death is worth rolling the dice
[TS]
00:36:28
◼
►
even if it is incredibly unlikely well
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
let me ask you another more meaningful
[TS]
00:36:33
◼
►
question if I dare you know why do you
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
want more life because it's better than
[TS]
00:36:37
◼
►
being dead
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
yeah I don't think that's like a hard
[TS]
00:36:40
◼
►
question right yeah being dead
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
you know it doesn't seem very appealing
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
you know we've all done it before we
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
know what it's like and I don't feel
[TS]
00:36:47
◼
►
like having another eternity of that so
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
we don't know what it's like do you know
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
what it was like before you were born I
[TS]
00:36:52
◼
►
don't know what it was like before I was
[TS]
00:36:53
◼
►
of course you do there was nothing is
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
forever right that's what it was
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
you have no experience of anything and
[TS]
00:36:58
◼
►
so I feel like well of course more life
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
is better than more of that that's why
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
the cryogenic thing seems like it's
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
worth rolling the dice and taking the
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
ok i also learned today that Walt Disney
[TS]
00:37:09
◼
►
wasn't currently stored really is that
[TS]

[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
of cryogenic yeah we want to make sure
[TS]
00:37:21
◼
►

[TS]
00:37:24
◼
►
your body and we're gonna put entropy to
[TS]
00:37:26
◼
►

read a lot about historic ones and I've
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
really gotten into it like I've been
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
watching like these sort of 45-minute
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
hour-long summaries of the games
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
afterwards where they explain all the
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
moves of what was going on
[TS]
00:40:13
◼

Magnus Carlsen is not from Sweden he's
[TS]
00:40:33
◼

Norwegian business
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►

[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
out just to double check that Sweden was
[TS]
00:40:44
◼
►
the country that would upset the most
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
for me to say gonna get this this feels
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
to me like a very Brady moment ok this
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►

[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
checking for now because I want to find

00:40:56
◼
►
podcast right and we didn't make it
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
it's instantly noticed a second ascent
[TS]
00:41:00
◼
►
that is totally a thing people pause the
[TS]
00:41:04
◼
►
podcast to immediately write out the
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
tweet and then unpause it to hear the
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
clarifying sentence little it's

◼
►

[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
night when it was happening they playing

00:41:23
◼
►

00:41:25
◼
►
started watching on twitch light live

because i had on my iPad as it i'm
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
watching the chess tournament and it was
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
like during one of these 20 minute gaps
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
between moves when they were just all
[TS]
00:41:43
◼
►
talking and speculating about what might
[TS]
00:41:45
◼
►
happen next
[TS]
00:41:46
◼
►
my god it wasn't even watching the game
[TS]
00:41:48
◼
►
i was watching like someone else's like
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
computerized bored of it because I
[TS]
00:41:52
◼
►
wasn't watching the live feed of the
[TS]
00:41:53
◼
►
actual game
[TS]
00:41:54
◼
►
guys don't understand you had a
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
heartbreaking because amazing stingy
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
with all I've just gotten consumed by
[TS]
00:42:00
◼
►
how do they feel 20 minute gaps between
[TS]
00:42:02
◼
►
moves like where they comment on
[TS]
00:42:04
◼
►
well they have two boards on the screen
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
the 1i watched have two boards on the
[TS]
00:42:07
◼
►
screen okay
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
the smaller board on one side is the
[TS]
00:42:10
◼
►
current state of play mhm and on the
[TS]
00:42:11
◼
►
Left they use a bit of a sandbox and
[TS]
00:42:14
◼
►
they're like well he could move this one
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
here but then he'd move this one here
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
and you just watch all the potential
[TS]
00:42:18
◼
►
things that player and actually that
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
brought up one of the points I wanted to
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
make from watching one of my
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
observations because I've always been a
[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
little bit fascinated by these grand
[TS]
00:42:28
◼
►
masters of chess and a little bit in all
[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►
of them but watching this is kind of
[TS]
00:42:32
◼
►
taken that away a bit and this will
[TS]
00:42:34
◼
►
actually probably make you love them
[TS]
00:42:36
◼
►
more but it makes me love them unless
[TS]
00:42:37
◼
►
it's made me realize how much they're
[TS]
00:42:40
◼
►
just like pure computers
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
uh-huh like the people who are best at
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
chess I just the people who can hold a
[TS]
00:42:46
◼
►
lot of information in their brain em and
[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
compute lots of moves under time
[TS]
00:42:54
◼
►
pressure and like it's taking away some
[TS]
00:42:56
◼
►
of the magic I always felt of that
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
creative moments or just following like
[TS]
00:43:00
◼
►
an instinct or something that and it has
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
made me realize more and more that the
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
people who are best chess are people who
[TS]
00:43:05
◼
►
just got serious hardware up top
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
sometimes Britney I feel like I don't
[TS]
00:43:10
◼
►
understand you at all like what on earth
[TS]
00:43:12
◼
►
did you think chess grandmasters could
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
possibly be except humans with brains
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
bizarrely specialized for this one
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
activity like i'll get there anything
[TS]
00:43:24
◼
►
else i think because i read lots of nice
[TS]
00:43:27
◼
►
literature about chess players i kind of
[TS]
00:43:29
◼
►
just conjured up something a little bit
[TS]
00:43:31
◼
►
more magical in my head a little bit
[TS]
00:43:32
◼
►
more like creative and dashing and
[TS]
00:43:36
◼
►
unpredictable and like even though I'm
[TS]
00:43:37
◼
►
not belittling the skill of being a good
[TS]
00:43:40
◼
►
chess player and the amazing this other
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
it certainly beyond they are my brain

00:43:58
◼

00:44:18

little bit more poetry in there somehow
[TS]
00:44:19
◼

and now I'm realizing that was an
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
incorrect fantasy
[TS]
00:44:23
◼

yeah this to me falls into the like the
[TS]
00:44:25
◼

thing I've said it many different places
[TS]
00:44:26
◼
►
in many different areas that the people
[TS]
00:44:28
◼
►
who are best in the world at anything
[TS]
00:44:30
◼
►
our total freaks because they like they
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
have to be if you have anything that's
[TS]
00:44:35
◼

remotely competitive it's like the
[TS]
00:44:37
◼

people who are best in the business
[TS]
00:44:39
◼

world if they like broken people but
[TS]
00:44:41
◼

they're broken in this useful way where
[TS]
00:44:43
◼

they create businesses for the rest of
[TS]
00:44:44
◼

us just constantly right here if you
[TS]
00:44:46
◼

look at athletes like the people who are
[TS]
00:44:48
◼
►
the best in the world are people who are
[TS]
00:44:50
◼

total freaks because they have a
[TS]
00:44:52
◼

combination of like the perfect genetics
[TS]
00:44:54
◼

and a kind of mental attitude that is
[TS]
00:44:58
◼

very conducive to training that nobody
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
could possibly endure and so in chess
[TS]
00:45:03
◼
►
where you have an activity that is just
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
incredibly perfectly cerebral and
[TS]
00:45:09
◼
►
computational of course you should find
[TS]
00:45:12
◼
►
the people in the world who are
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
functionally human computers
[TS]
00:45:16
◼
►
that's what you should expect to find
[TS]
00:45:18
◼
►
playing chess yeah I guess that's what's
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
taken away some of the magic though
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
because like if I'm watching a game of
[TS]
00:45:24
◼
►
cricket or football or something
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
there's not a little bar down the bottom
[TS]
00:45:28
◼
►
that will say what the computer says
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
that if he bowls the next ball here he
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
would definitely win the game where his
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
chest it's a bit like the computer says
[TS]
00:45:35
◼
►
Carlson's next move should be this
[TS]
00:45:37
◼
►
evening and then 99 times out of a
[TS]
00:45:40
◼
►
hundred that's the movie will do right
[TS]
00:45:42
◼
►
it's almost like well why even watching
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
humans do this now that it's not helped
[TS]
00:45:45
◼
►
by the fact they're playing drawer after
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
draw after draw write that they have
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
been quite exciting drawers and don't
[TS]
00:45:51
◼
►
get all upset chest fans i have been
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
appreciating the games and sometimes
[TS]
00:45:55
◼
►
they do a move that's not predicted by
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
the computer and that's quite exciting
[TS]
00:45:58
◼
►
and I have really enjoyed it
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
well I'm glad you enjoyed it but it to
[TS]
00:46:02
◼
►
me it's also like well these people
[TS]
00:46:04
◼
►
aren't the best chess players in the
[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
world anyway any more computers of the
[TS]
00:46:07
◼
►
best chess players in the world so it's
[TS]
00:46:09
◼
►
like you're watching a bunch of
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
inadequate computers playing
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
the game it's like there could be much
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
better games being played by computers
[TS]
00:46:16
◼
►
but we just don't do that because people
[TS]
00:46:18
◼
►
want to see a human do it was like oh
[TS]
00:46:19
◼
►
you're not even watching the best in the
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
world because the best in the world are
[TS]
00:46:22
◼
►
not humans with the chess tournament
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
should actually be right is the best
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
computers Blanche our why go away
[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►
oh well like silliness and you know i
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
don't think that silliness
[TS]
00:46:33
◼
►
I think that the chest thing exists
[TS]
00:46:34
◼
►
because people want to see other people
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
do it but then it becomes not about like
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
what's the best chess game that exists
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
it's more about like I want to see
[TS]
00:46:42
◼
►
monkeys playing chess
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
look at these monkeys that are
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
freakishly like computers playing chess
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
this is what i'm actually watching you
[TS]
00:46:48
◼
►
want to see the the best chess game
[TS]
00:46:50
◼
►
watch two computers play each other but
[TS]
00:46:51
◼
►
nobody wants to do that because they
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
want to watch monkeys play chess monkeys
[TS]
00:46:54
◼
►
that are like computers that really what
[TS]
00:46:57
◼
►
you believe you'd rather watch trey
[TS]
00:46:58
◼
►
computers than the two best treatments
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
well I have no interest in watching
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
either i couldn't possibly imagine
[TS]
00:47:03
◼
►
watching a chess game if I said you have
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
to watch one you choose the computers
[TS]
00:47:07
◼
►
but your this is a different thing now
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
right what about empathy
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
what about empathizing with the players
[TS]
00:47:12
◼
►
and the stress there under the pressure
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
and like the egos involved that knowing
[TS]
00:47:17
◼
►
that one of them is going to be
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
humiliated and but that's been the most
[TS]
00:47:20
◼
►
interesting part of this the body
[TS]
00:47:21
◼
►
language the storming out of press
[TS]
00:47:23
◼
►
conferences the big egos been crushed
[TS]
00:47:26
◼
►
yeah but that's a different thing like
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
that's all we want to watch the monkeys
[TS]
00:47:28
◼
►
play chess
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
that's what it is like monkeys want to
[TS]
00:47:30
◼
►
watch a bunch of monkeys playing games
[TS]
00:47:31
◼
►
and i understand that like that's what
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
sports is that's what any of this stuff
[TS]
00:47:34
◼
►
is I think the chest one is extra funny
[TS]
00:47:36
◼
►
because it's an area where unlike sports
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
at least for now until the RoboCup
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
catches up
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
humans are the best in the world at
[TS]
00:47:44
◼
►
sports right so it's like you're
[TS]
00:47:45
◼
►
watching both the humans and the best
[TS]
00:47:48
◼
►
example of this thing possible right
[TS]
00:47:50
◼
►
where the chest wanted two strikes me as
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
funny because it's like well it lays
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
bare more clearly what's really
[TS]
00:47:55
◼
►
happening is that the humans want to
[TS]
00:47:57
◼
►
watch humans doing a thing right that's
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
what the Korea maybe that's partly what
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
struck me maybe that's partly the
[TS]
00:48:03
◼
►
emotion i was having that it's a funny
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
thing that when you say about like the
[TS]
00:48:06
◼
►
mechanical miss of it because this is
[TS]
00:48:08
◼
►
one of the reasons why I lost interest
[TS]
00:48:11
◼
►
in chess at a certain point was because
[TS]
00:48:14
◼
►
I recognize like Oh once you get beyond
[TS]
00:48:17
◼
►
the basics like it very quickly becomes
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
about just the sheer number of positions
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
that you have seen that you are familiar
[TS]
00:48:25
◼
►
with and I feel like this game became
[TS]
00:48:28
◼
►
less fun because of this because now i
[TS]
00:48:31
◼
►
see like Oh to get better it's really
[TS]
00:48:33
◼
►
like a game of incredible memorization
[TS]
00:48:35
◼
►
and it becomes like yeah I'm learning
[TS]
00:48:37
◼
►
routines to go through these various
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
things and I've seen some stats on how
[TS]
00:48:41
◼
►
long the openings are for chess games
[TS]
00:48:44
◼
►
until you get to like a unique position
[TS]
00:48:46
◼
►
that has never been seen like it's
[TS]
00:48:47
◼
►
incredibly long ya is one of the reasons
[TS]
00:48:50
◼
►
why I know Bobby Fischer was pushing his
[TS]
00:48:51
◼
►
version of random chess which i did play
[TS]
00:48:54
◼
►
a few games of and I felt like I wish
[TS]
00:48:56
◼
►
this had caught on because this actually
[TS]
00:48:58
◼
►
gets the game I think much more towards
[TS]
00:49:00
◼
►
what you would want which is by
[TS]
00:49:03
◼
►
randomizing with some rules the starting
[TS]
00:49:06
◼
►
location of all of the pieces i think it
[TS]
00:49:09
◼
►
knocks people out of the you are an
[TS]
00:49:11
◼
►
incredible computer that is just
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
recalling a database of moves and it
[TS]
00:49:16
◼
►
gets the game much more into a you have
[TS]
00:49:18
◼
►
to be creative because the number of
[TS]
00:49:20
◼
►
permutations here creates boards that no
[TS]
00:49:22
◼
►
one has ever seen like an every single
[TS]
00:49:24
◼
►
game and I think that that would
[TS]
00:49:26
◼
►
actually be much more interesting to
[TS]
00:49:29
◼
►
play and much more interesting to watch
[TS]
00:49:32
◼
►
play is a lousy random setup of the
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
board every time so another thing I've
[TS]
00:49:36
◼
►
realized this is like a naive
[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
realization but it's just I found a
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
quite cute in myself who that is the
[TS]
00:49:43
◼
►
importance of pawns in chess like when
[TS]
00:49:48
◼
►
you're like dominant young like me when
[TS]
00:49:49
◼
►
I was playing as a kid the pawns were
[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
almost these things you wanted to get
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
off the board as soon as possible was
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
like got in the way of all the powerful
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
pieces of food you know blazing they
[TS]
00:49:57
◼
►
weren't doing all the cool things they
[TS]
00:49:59
◼
►
could do and like losing a porn meant
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
nothing to me but these guys will fight
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
to the death to protect appointment who
[TS]
00:50:05
◼
►
forms are so important to them it's so
[TS]
00:50:08
◼
►
funny to me how Cavalier I always was
[TS]
00:50:10
◼
►
but are you go on take a few of my point
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
I don't care just means I can move my
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
queen better in all these endgames the
[TS]
00:50:16
◼
►
pawns it is so important to the whole
[TS]
00:50:19
◼
►
yeah well there's the quote which is
[TS]
00:50:20
◼
►
that the ponds are the soul of chest
[TS]
00:50:22
◼
►
which is definitely true especially
[TS]
00:50:23
◼
►
because of their funny attacking
[TS]
00:50:25
◼
►
sideways thing that the structures that
[TS]
00:50:26
◼
►
you end up creating with the ponds
[TS]
00:50:28
◼
►
really determine the flow
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
what's happening on the board but i also
[TS]
00:50:32
◼
►
think it's because at that high of a
[TS]
00:50:35
◼
►
level upon is the largest size mistake
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
could you possibly going to make right
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
like the best players in the world are
[TS]
00:50:42
◼
►
not going to do the kind of thing that
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
like me as a normal player would do of
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
like oops i wasn't paying attention and
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
i lost my rook right like that doesn't
[TS]
00:50:49
◼
►
happen you know I didn't even know you
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
could take my roof with and didn't say
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
that Bishop over there
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
yeah that's exactly it like I feel like
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
I remember we know I was terrible player
[TS]
00:50:57
◼
►
but i remember playing against friends
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
like intentionally hiding a bishop like
[TS]
00:51:01
◼
►
on the corner of the port's that you
[TS]
00:51:03
◼
►
just don't like someone doesn't know
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
it's like I don't think it was sort of
[TS]
00:51:07
◼
►
errors are happening at the grand master
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
level but so I think the only thing that
[TS]
00:51:11
◼
►
ends up happening is upon level error
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
yeah I don't think this cows gonna say
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
all I forgot that one could move
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
diagonal ation yeah exactly like those
[TS]
00:51:19
◼
►
night there so tricky with their
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
l-shaped moves that way to get that's
[TS]
00:51:26
◼
►
like the biggest mistake that's ever
[TS]
00:51:28
◼
►
going to happen is if someone gets
[TS]
00:51:29
◼
►
maneuvered into a position where they
[TS]
00:51:32
◼
►
end up losing upon and then that is
[TS]
00:51:33
◼
►
actually quite dramatic at the grand
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
master level
[TS]
00:51:36
◼
►
yeah and my last observation who maybe
[TS]
00:51:40
◼
►
suggestion and I know this is gonna let
[TS]
00:51:42
◼
►
upset some people who but I'm i don't
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
know how i feel about it I don't think
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
people should resign in games of chess
[TS]
00:51:51
◼
►
who but I understand when they agree to
[TS]
00:51:54
◼
►
a draw but what happens in so many games
[TS]
00:51:56
◼
►
is one of them resins and I can't even
[TS]
00:51:58
◼
►
really see why they've lost em and then
[TS]
00:52:01
◼
►
let the experts will say well this would
[TS]
00:52:03
◼
►
have happened in this would have
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
happened then of course this would have
[TS]
00:52:05
◼
►
happened there will be no choice but
[TS]
00:52:06
◼
►
this would have happened and ultimately
[TS]
00:52:07
◼
►
he would have been left in this position
[TS]
00:52:09
◼
►
in which case he would have lost who I
[TS]
00:52:11
◼
►
think they should play it out just for
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
the spectators and also there's
[TS]
00:52:15
◼
►
something so dramatic about checkmate
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
little that you never see check my in
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
games of chess between grandmasters
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
because they both see it coming a mile
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
off who and resign before it happens and
[TS]
00:52:25
◼
►
i think we should get to see the death
[TS]
00:52:27
◼
►
of the king who
[TS]
00:52:28
◼
►
and also I think you should be made to
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
go through if you lose you should be
[TS]
00:52:31
◼
►
made to play it out and lose your king I
[TS]
00:52:34

can see reasons for you know saving time
[TS]
00:52:38
◼

and energy that but I think you
[TS]
00:52:40
◼

shouldn't resign i think they should
[TS]
00:52:41
◼

play it out and we should get to see the
[TS]
00:52:43

check back we should get to see the coup

down by 30 points and there's 20 30
[TS]
00:52:57

seconds left they still play to the

00:52:59

you don't just the other team doesn't
[TS]
00:53:00

just walk off so you have one and leave

play there i would like to see these
[TS]
00:53:09

chess games played out i was thinking of
[TS]
00:53:12
◼

how at our alabama football game like
[TS]
00:53:15
◼

what would be the feeling in the stadium
[TS]
00:53:17
◼

if the opposing team just halfway
[TS]
00:53:19
◼

through just walked off like okay we
[TS]
00:53:21
◼

resign if you like are you kidding me
[TS]
00:53:24
◼

we're here for a thing like to watch the
[TS]
00:53:26
◼

thing i'm totally with you like if
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
resigning is a super common thing at the
[TS]
00:53:29
◼
►
grand master level i would feel really
[TS]
00:53:30
◼
►
disappointed by that if i was a fan and
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
I wouldn't watch grand master chess cry
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
you'd never see a check night
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
it's always a resignation now i have
[TS]
00:53:37
◼
►
many reasons not to watch like what you
[TS]
00:53:39
◼

want to see is I want to see someone's

[TS]
00:53:43

there has to be the end of every chess
[TS]
00:53:45

checkmate so exciting but they just
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
never do and i understand i see it
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
coming and it's inevitable but i still
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
think I play it out for us to see it
[TS]
00:53:51
◼

happen and be you never know mistakes
[TS]
00:53:54
◼

get made
[TS]
00:53:55
◼

I'm with you I'm with you on this one
[TS]
00:53:56
◼

play to the end people don't resign
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
don't resign like a chicken right yeah
[TS]
00:54:01
◼
►
exactly people should make the garden
[TS]
00:54:02
◼
►
oasis in the audience when someone
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
resins is there an audience can people
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
like jeer I don't understand either but
[TS]
00:54:07
◼
►
yeah there's an audience for your
[TS]
00:54:09
◼
►
audience's it was famous all the
[TS]
00:54:11
◼
►
problems with the audience and the bobby
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
fischer Spassky chess game of the
[TS]
00:54:14
◼
►
century before show always said they're
[TS]
00:54:16
◼
►
making too much noise or one of them
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
further away and he was a really funny
[TS]
00:54:19
◼
►
being about the audience so then they
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
went played in a back room for two or
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
three games because he didn't want an
[TS]
00:54:24
◼
►
audience and they put camera in there so
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
the audience could watch out in the hole
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
and then eventually he agreed to come
[TS]
00:54:29
◼
►
back out into the hole but we go again
[TS]
00:54:31
◼
►
I'm sure Bobby Fischer was a supernormal
[TS]
00:54:32
◼

dude right because it's the best person
[TS]
00:54:34
◼

that chest in the world and the picture
[TS]
00:54:36
◼
►
of your malice see ya
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
yeah i like the idea of people blocking
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
at the person who resigns you should
[TS]
00:54:40
◼
►
play until the end
[TS]
00:54:41
◼
►
yeah and i agree with you like it is
[TS]
00:54:43
◼
►
almost impossible to imagine that in the
[TS]
00:54:45
◼
►
history of chess no grand master has
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
ever resigned a game that they would
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
have won if they played through to the
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
yeah right like that has to be the case
[TS]
00:54:54
◼
►
that someone was wrong at some point so
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
I think they should play through to the
[TS]
00:54:57
◼
►
end even if they play faster this is to
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
play through to the end without a doubt
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
maybe you and I should play chess
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
breathing oh that would be that would
[TS]
00:55:04
◼
►
not be good
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
no we said two against Iran
[TS]
00:55:06
◼
►
chess on the YouTube channel and we let
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
people comment on it when people could
[TS]
00:55:10
◼
►
do running commentaries unless the
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
random configuration starts with me
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
already having given checkmate
[TS]
00:55:15
◼
►
I don't fancy much answers but so great
[TS]
00:55:19
◼
►
i have started putting a small piece of
[TS]
00:55:21
◼
►
black tape over my webcam
[TS]
00:55:23
◼
►
oh really why have you done that Brady
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
why have you done that well obviously
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
this is following up on a discussion
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
about whether or not people can hack
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
into webcams and I don't particularly
[TS]
00:55:35
◼
►
think they can and if they could I don't
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
think that particularly want to do it to
[TS]
00:55:39
◼
►
me who and if they did do it to me i'm
[TS]
00:55:42
◼
►
not particularly worried about them
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
watching me edit videos and look at my
[TS]
00:55:46
◼
►
periodic table on the wall behind me who
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
and also i know that that zuckerberg
[TS]
00:55:51
◼
►
does and then I saw the boss of the FBI
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
apparently also put tape over his webcam
[TS]
00:55:55
◼
►
on his computer as well it's reaching a
[TS]
00:55:57
◼
►
point now I'm thinking hang on all these
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
people who know stuff doing it maybe I'm
[TS]
00:56:02
◼
►
supposed to be doing it
[TS]
00:56:03
◼
►
what about you yeah well the quick
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
answer to what you said there's for the
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
moment I haven't actually put anything
[TS]
00:56:10
◼
►
over the cameras yet but going back to
[TS]
00:56:12
◼
►
that conversation we had where we were
[TS]
00:56:14
◼
►
widely speculated photography will have
[TS]
00:56:16
◼
►
information about a thing we're talking
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
about computer security
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
it was one of those interesting
[TS]
00:56:21
◼
►
conversations because often when you're
[TS]
00:56:24
◼
►
talking on a podcast I'm so aware of
[TS]
00:56:26
◼
►
back in the editing you you realize in
[TS]
00:56:30
◼
►
all of our conversations like how often
[TS]
00:56:32
◼
►
you have assumptions in your head that
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
you're kind of not saying out loud and
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
that security conversation was
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
definitely filled with a ton of those
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
week ended up getting like an enormous
[TS]
00:56:40
◼
►
amount of feedback listing a ton of
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
cases where yes someone was able to hack
[TS]
00:56:48
◼
►
into a person's camera or microphone
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
right it's just like a link to that that
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
discussion in the show notes but he's
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
like terrifying terrifying number of
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
stories and examples of people being
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
able to hack into devices now one of the
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
things that wasn't universally true but
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
was very very often the case in those
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
stories was there was some level of user
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
error right that the user had been
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
tricked into installing
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
piece of software that they shouldn't
[TS]
00:57:21
◼
►
write or the user had done an action
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
that had like open the door for malware
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
to get on the system right clicking a
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
link in an email you know
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
loading up a website that they should
[TS]
00:57:32
◼
►
all of this kind of stuff and so there's
[TS]
00:57:35
◼
►
this problem of computer security that
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
you can see unroll in that discussion
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
which is it is this balance of how much
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
does the attacker care and how secure is
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
your system and i think at the end of
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
that conversation in the red i came down
[TS]
00:57:53
◼
►
to the conclusion in some sense of like
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
well things are less secure than i
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
thought but still largely it's like
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►
demonstrations of cases where you can
[TS]
00:58:08
◼
►
hack into someones device but if you
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
can't trick the user and if they're
[TS]
00:58:14
◼
►
using a secure platform it still ends up
[TS]
00:58:17
◼
►
being like near heroic amount of effort
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
that have to be done in order to be able
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
to do this and so I saw examples of
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
people saying like oh you can break into
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
somebody's iphone by installing a device
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
that pretends to be the local cell phone
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
network right when the person connects
[TS]
00:58:36
◼
►
to it and then you wait for them to
[TS]
00:58:38
◼
►
install an app and you have ready and
[TS]
00:58:40
◼
►
waiting like a fake version of the app
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
that they're going to install through
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
this fakeness like but I still think
[TS]
00:58:45
◼
►
like under most normal circumstances it
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
seems like if the user is relatively
[TS]
00:58:50
◼
►
savvy using a relatively secure system
[TS]
00:58:53
◼
►
the likelihood of this is not super high
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
but it's definitely it seems high her
[TS]
00:59:00
◼
►
than I had first mentally examined it
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
but i still have a ton of links and
[TS]
00:59:05
◼
►
things to go through and read in more
[TS]
00:59:07
◼
►
detail that resulted from that
[TS]
00:59:08
◼
►
conversation so this is just us kind of
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
talking out loud about that now one of
[TS]
00:59:13
◼
►
the things that I think is a bit of a
[TS]
00:59:15
◼
►
strange thing to think about though is
[TS]
00:59:16
◼
►
like so you said you put tape over your
[TS]
00:59:18
◼
►
computer the computer you're sitting in
[TS]
00:59:20
◼
►
front of right now is that the one that
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
you've done it wouldnt yeah but like
[TS]
00:59:23
◼
►
have you done it with your ipads and
[TS]
00:59:26
◼
►
with your phone i haven't done it with
[TS]
00:59:28
◼
►
those yet no
[TS]
00:59:29
◼
►
this is the fact of taking the type on
[TS]
00:59:32
◼
►
and off all the time
[TS]
00:59:33
◼
►
this is part of the thing which is also
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
a bit like well I have some devices that
[TS]
00:59:37
◼
►
are relatively easy to secure in terms
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
of like my office computer would be
[TS]
00:59:42
◼
►
trivially simple to do this I could
[TS]
00:59:44
◼
►
actually totally break the microphone on
[TS]
00:59:46
◼
►
my office computer and it would never
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
even matter to me right I could just
[TS]
00:59:49
◼
►
have the external microphone that i plug
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
in and I could cover up the camera on
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
that computer but then
[TS]
00:59:54
◼
►
well that's the device that i'm in front
[TS]
00:59:56
◼
►
of by far and away the least write the
[TS]
00:59:59
◼
►
thing this
[TS]
00:59:59
◼
►
thing this
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
hardest to secure is my phone which is
[TS]
01:00:01
◼
►
the thing that's with me all the time
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
it's like am I going to have something
[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
over the microphone and over the cameras
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
on my phone that then becomes a super
[TS]
01:00:11
◼
►
hassle and it the more I think about
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
this it almost feels like there's no
[TS]
01:00:14
◼
►
real way to win this game right like the
[TS]
01:00:18
◼
►
devices that are easy to secure are the
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
ones you're probably using the least and
[TS]
01:00:22
◼
►
the ones that are the hardest to secure
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
are the ones that you're using the most
[TS]
01:00:25
◼
►
and that says something about you to
[TS]
01:00:27
◼
►
know that's not true with me but I guess
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
you're maybe you're more common case but
[TS]
01:00:30
◼
►
I'm certainly in front of this computer
[TS]
01:00:32
◼
►
a lot more than I'm on my phone on my
[TS]
01:00:35
◼
►
ipad if you break into my camera on my
[TS]
01:00:38
◼
►
iPad and she caught me watching netflix
[TS]
01:00:41
◼
►
last thing before I went to sleep
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
you wouldn't say much and on my phone
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
where you just probably stay inside my
[TS]
01:00:46
◼
►
pocket but presumably if someone's
[TS]
01:00:48
◼
►
turning on the microphone in your phone
[TS]
01:00:50
◼
►
yeah this is with you essentially all
[TS]
01:00:52
◼
►
the time I'd be shocked if you're saying
[TS]
01:00:54
◼
►
that you're you're using your office
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
computer more than your phone is with
[TS]
01:00:57
◼
►
you like I don't think that's probably
[TS]
01:00:58
◼
►
very likely yeah you probably around
[TS]
01:00:59
◼
►
Jamie like your phone is with you all
[TS]
01:01:01
◼
►
the time and that becomes very hard to
[TS]
01:01:04
◼
►
secure it like someone's in there and
[TS]
01:01:06
◼
►
they're able to turn on the cameras like
[TS]
01:01:07
◼
►
well they can turn on the microphone and
[TS]
01:01:09
◼
►
they can turn on the location services
[TS]
01:01:10
◼
►
and they can find out a bunch of other
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
stuff like if you've been tricked into
[TS]
01:01:13
◼
►
when installing software that you
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►

[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
season 3 which we are going to do very
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
shortly so obviously as usual expect
[TS]
01:08:05
◼
►
spoilers expect spoilers for all of the
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
seasons because we might reference stuff
[TS]
01:08:08
◼
►
it's all going to happen so pause the

01:08:11
◼
►
podcast now people go watch some

01:08:14
◼
►
episodes if you haven't watched them
[TS]
01:08:15
◼
►
already
[TS]
01:08:16
◼
►
it's a very good TV series i think it's
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
totally worth it and now we're going to
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
talk about some stuff so there are six
[TS]
01:08:21
◼
►
episodes in serious right
[TS]
01:08:22
◼
►
mhm i have watched five of them i have
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
not watched episode 5 but I've watched
[TS]
01:08:28
◼
►
one two three four and six who have you
[TS]
01:08:31
◼
►
don't I broke it up into two sessions i
[TS]
01:08:34
◼
►
watched the first three episodes in one
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
session and the second three episodes
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
another so i have seen all of them
[TS]
01:08:40
◼
►
it's an interesting thing like this was
[TS]
01:08:42
◼
►
a longer season of black mirror than the
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
other ones i think the first season was
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
like three episodes the second season
[TS]
01:08:47
◼
►
was four and now this is
[TS]
01:08:50
◼
►
6 episode was kind of 33 and then a
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
Christmas special and then six so season
[TS]
01:08:56
◼
►
was three in season two was three
[TS]
01:08:58
◼
►
hmm then they had this special Christmas
[TS]
01:09:00
◼
►
one who's a longer episode okay and then
[TS]
01:09:02
◼
►
we've got six down series reflects
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
listing that it seems intended why i
[TS]
01:09:06
◼
►
think i was thinking about it but maybe
[TS]
01:09:07
◼
►
you are more technically correct yeah
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
just that sort of talking about it
[TS]
01:09:10
◼
►
overall I think it was kind of an
[TS]
01:09:12
◼
►
interesting viewing experience because i
[TS]
01:09:14
◼
►
think this this season cemented most
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
clearly to me this feeling that black
[TS]
01:09:23
◼
►
mirror is the twilight zone with
[TS]
01:09:26
◼
►
technology that that's what this TV show
[TS]
01:09:28
◼
►
is and I think that that comes with good
[TS]
01:09:33
◼
►
things in bad things so I i have watched
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
all of the twilight zone episodes at
[TS]
01:09:37
◼
►
various points in my life and gone
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
►
through like twilight zone kicks were
[TS]
01:09:40
◼
►
all cranked through a whole bunch of
[TS]
01:09:41
◼
►
them and whenever i do that one of the
[TS]
01:09:44
◼
►
things that I think is interesting is
[TS]
01:09:46
◼
►
how when I think about the twilight zone
[TS]
01:09:49
◼
►
I am in my head remembering actually a
[TS]
01:09:52
◼
►
relatively small subset of episodes that
[TS]
01:09:55
◼
►
really stick with me and when I rework
[TS]
01:10:00
◼
►
my way through the twilight zone i'm
[TS]
01:10:01
◼
►
aware of all of the episodes that I just
[TS]
01:10:05
◼
►
sort of forget about that don't stick
[TS]
01:10:07
◼
►
with me for some reason
[TS]
01:10:08
◼
►
mm and this season of black mirror I
[TS]
01:10:13
◼
►
really felt that I watched a bunch of
[TS]
01:10:15
◼
►
episodes but I feel like there was
[TS]
01:10:18
◼
►
really only one in this season that I
[TS]
01:10:21
◼
►
feel like I'm going to come back to and
[TS]
01:10:23
◼
►
think about a bunch and the others they
[TS]
01:10:25
◼
►
were very good just like when I'm
[TS]
01:10:27
◼
►
watching twilight zone i think like
[TS]
01:10:28
◼
►
these episodes are good they're
[TS]
01:10:30
◼
►
entertaining and like the blackmailer
[TS]
01:10:32
◼
►
episodes are vastly better than most
[TS]
01:10:35
◼
►
things on TV but it did feel like a
[TS]
01:10:38
◼
►
bunch of these episodes were just sort
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
of episodes in this black mirror world
[TS]
01:10:43
◼
►
to me and I didn't feel like oh wow i
[TS]
01:10:45
◼
►
was super grabbed by every single thing
[TS]
01:10:48
◼
►
that I saw those are sort of my general
[TS]
01:10:51
◼
►
impressions of series 3
[TS]
01:10:53
◼
►
what do you think breeding you know I
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
think of the five of the six I've
[TS]
01:10:56
◼
►
watched and I've stopped watching five
[TS]
01:10:58
◼
►
and start because it wasn't grabbing me
[TS]
01:10:59
◼
►

►
anything there was some sort of hits and
[TS]
01:11:03
◼
►
thought they were probably more than one
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
that stuck with me there are a few of
[TS]
01:11:06
◼
►
them had me thinking the next day which
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
is about as good at testers you can
[TS]
01:11:11
◼
►
apply to these things I loved him you
[TS]
01:11:14
◼
►
know and surprisingly perhaps I'm not as
[TS]
01:11:17
◼
►
excited as I was by like series one when
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
it was new and interesting and something
[TS]
01:11:21
◼
►
really different you kind of know what
[TS]
01:11:23
◼
►
to expect now kind of a quest cynical
[TS]
01:11:25
◼
►
look at the way technology is
[TS]
01:11:27
◼
►
infiltrating society so you get there is
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
a sort of say meanest coming to it both
[TS]
01:11:33
◼
►
in the mood and the content of the shows
[TS]
01:11:37
◼
►
but i still think it's good i think it's
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
a good use of your time and I certainly
[TS]
01:11:41
◼
►
recommend watching them
[TS]
01:11:42
◼
►
oh yeah which was the one obviously
[TS]
01:11:43
◼
►
everyone's gonna want to know which the
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
episode was that did something to well
[TS]
01:11:47
◼
►
we'll get to that in a moment but i
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
think you actually hit upon an excellent
[TS]
01:11:50
◼
►
point there which is there is a little
[TS]
01:11:52
◼
►
bit of this a meanness in that i found
[TS]
01:11:57
◼
►
myself when watching these episodes this
[TS]
01:11:59
◼
►
time you sort of aware and waiting for
[TS]
01:12:02
◼
►
the thing like the moment we're like oh
[TS]
01:12:04
◼
►
we're going to learn about what this
[TS]
01:12:05
◼
►
world really is
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
yeah it's like a one-trick pony yeah
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
well I have mixed feelings about this
[TS]
01:12:10
◼
►
because I feel like it's gonna be like
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
super overblown but if you think about
[TS]
01:12:15
◼
►
the matrix which is I think it's 1999
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
maybe a long time ago now but i feel
[TS]
01:12:20
◼
►
like the matrix set up like the modern
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
story of the world of like this is a
[TS]
01:12:27
◼
►
story about how the world is not what
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
you really think it is and particularly
[TS]
01:12:32
◼
►
is related to technology and I'm totally
[TS]
01:12:34
◼
►
fine with this as a story archetype that
[TS]
01:12:38
◼
►
is repeated over and over again and I
[TS]
01:12:40
◼
►
feel like that's particularly a modern
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
story archetype that like technology
[TS]
01:12:44
◼
►
makes the world not as it truly seems
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
yeah I felt like season 3 leaned on that
[TS]
01:12:50
◼
►
a bit too much with a number of the
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
episodes and so it's like episode to
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
play test the San junipero episode as
[TS]
01:13:00
◼
►
well like that leans on this idea of the
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
world that you see is not really what it
[TS]
01:13:04
◼
►
is and episode 5 the one that you were
[TS]
01:13:06
◼
►
watching as a similar kind of thing of
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
like Oh what the people are seeing is
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
not really what's occurring in the world
[TS]
01:13:11
◼
►
and so like while I don't mind that
[TS]
01:13:15
◼
►
as a story type i feel like in a
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
six-episode season four three of the
[TS]
01:13:23
◼
►
episodes to turn on that exact same
[TS]
01:13:25
◼
►
point was like a little bit too many
[TS]
01:13:27
◼
►
right I felt a little bit like I know
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
this i'm fine with this story but not
[TS]
01:13:32
◼
►
like three times in a row and my fine
[TS]
01:13:35
◼
►
with it i just had episode 5 support me
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
by the way people say just so you know
[TS]
01:13:39
◼
►
that's okay i knew i was walking into
[TS]
01:13:41
◼
►
the spoilers i'm so sorry and you're
[TS]
01:13:44
◼
►
here with us
[TS]
01:13:45
◼
►
I know you're here with us so you're in
[TS]
01:13:46
◼
►
this part is known as well I couldn't
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
exactly for podcasting come watch it i
[TS]
01:13:50
◼
►
could I know you couldn't
[TS]
01:13:53
◼
►
this is a hazard yet but being fair i
[TS]
01:13:55
◼
►
think probably five is by far and away
[TS]
01:13:56
◼
►
the least interesting one in the sixth
[TS]
01:13:58
◼
►
episode season
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
yeah that's this jelly right and also
[TS]
01:14:02
◼
►
there is kind of the citizen that goes
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
through i mean i know it's sort of
[TS]
01:14:06
◼
►
defines the series is called black
[TS]
01:14:08
◼
►
mirrors no of course there is this
[TS]
01:14:10
◼
►
strong streak of cynicism through and
[TS]
01:14:12
◼
►
and charlie brooker who I really like
[TS]
01:14:14
◼
►
all his work even with such a cynical
[TS]
01:14:16
◼
►
guy and that runs through and if you
[TS]
01:14:18
◼
►
watch the mini-marathon it does start to
[TS]
01:14:20
◼
►
weigh heavily on you you start thinking
[TS]
01:14:22
◼
►
come on man like you know how bad can
[TS]
01:14:26
◼
►
the world be but you don't watch this
[TS]
01:14:28
◼
►
series if you're not up for some of that
[TS]
01:14:30
◼
►
yeah exactly that no one's thinking you
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
know what I love I love a fun carefree
[TS]
01:14:34
◼
►
evening let me put on some of the old
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
black mirror
[TS]
01:14:36
◼
►
yeah I need a real pick-me-up something
[TS]
01:14:38
◼
►
light something to make me smile you
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
know like that's not what black mirror
[TS]
01:14:42
◼
►
is for now but that being said I do want
[TS]
01:14:45
◼
►
to say like on the flip side like this
[TS]
01:14:46
◼
►
is my little bit of a criticism of
[TS]
01:14:48
◼
►
series 3 but on the flipside like
[TS]
01:14:51
◼
►
there's so many things about the series
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
that i absolutely love and top on that
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
list is I just love the way technology
[TS]
01:15:00
◼
►
is simply used and accepted in a lot of
[TS]
01:15:05
◼
►
the episodes i think there's a episode
[TS]
01:15:07
◼
►
number three which is a shut up and
[TS]
01:15:09
◼
►
dance which has the characters being
[TS]
01:15:11
◼
►
blackmailed by people on the internet
[TS]
01:15:12
◼
►
into doing things yeah I think like that
[TS]
01:15:14
◼
►
was a great episode where I was just so
[TS]
01:15:16
◼
►
aware of they have characters who are
[TS]
01:15:18
◼
►
just using technology like you would
[TS]
01:15:21
◼
►
expect normal people in the world to you
[TS]
01:15:23
◼
►
right there using gps on their phone
[TS]
01:15:25
◼
►
they're using map tracking there's a
[TS]
01:15:27
◼
►
drone at one point and the drone is just
[TS]
01:15:29
◼
►
who's nobody feels they need to comment
[TS]
01:15:31
◼
►
on it or explain what it is i I'm often
[TS]
01:15:34
◼
►
aware when i'm watching modern TV or
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
movies that technology ends up falling
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
into one of two things
[TS]
01:15:41
◼
►
it's either used as just magic that can
[TS]
01:15:44
◼
►
solve any problem in a ridiculous way or
[TS]
01:15:47
◼
►
I often feel that the writers are trying
[TS]
01:15:50
◼
►
to like right around the existence of
[TS]
01:15:52
◼
►
cell phones because cellphones solve so
[TS]
01:15:55
◼
►
many plot problems in movies
[TS]
01:15:57
◼
►
yeah right like that the writers are
[TS]
01:15:59
◼
►
trying to like get around this and so
[TS]
01:16:00
◼
►
characters never just use phones in the
[TS]
01:16:04
◼
►
way that a normal person would it's one
[TS]
01:16:07
◼
►
of the things that I absolutely loved
[TS]
01:16:08
◼
►
about watching black Mary's like this is
[TS]
01:16:10
◼
►
a show that understands and portrays
[TS]
01:16:14
◼
►
technology just as people in the real
[TS]
01:16:16
◼
►
world would use it the characters in the
[TS]
01:16:18
◼
►
show don't feel the need to comment on
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
or explain to the audience what is going
[TS]
01:16:22
◼
►
on like they just assume that you're
[TS]
01:16:23
◼
►
going to get it
[TS]
01:16:24
◼
►
yeah and so I absolutely love that in
[TS]
01:16:27
◼
►
the show like something about that makes
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
it feel super grounded and super real
[TS]
01:16:32
◼
►
that the characters don't need to
[TS]
01:16:33
◼
►
explain or comment on this stuff and
[TS]
01:16:35
◼
►
people use technology in a realistic way
[TS]
01:16:39
◼
►
that isn't magic or isn't avoidance for
[TS]
01:16:42
◼
►
plot reasons the one episode that I
[TS]
01:16:43
◼
►
think fell down a little bit in that
[TS]
01:16:45
◼
►
respect perhaps was the final episode 67
[TS]
01:16:50
◼
►
with the robotic base and because i felt
[TS]
01:16:53
◼
►
like the four episodes i watched before
[TS]
01:16:55
◼
►
that felt like they weren't
[TS]
01:16:58
◼
►
condescending and they were quite
[TS]
01:16:59
◼
►
believable and they felt like they were
[TS]
01:17:01
◼
►
made for like a young audience and then
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
and the 61 felt like it was made like a
[TS]
01:17:06
◼
►
Hollywood movie but it was how Hollywood
[TS]
01:17:08
◼
►
will trade technology with robotic bees
[TS]
01:17:10
◼
►
burrowing into brains and lots of
[TS]
01:17:13
◼
►
hand-wavy are he's hacked the system or
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
we can't we're locked out we're locked
[TS]
01:17:16
◼
►
in and it was like it was kind of like
[TS]
01:17:18
◼
►
black hat hackers who can do these
[TS]
01:17:20
◼
►
amazing things no one understands I felt
[TS]
01:17:22
◼
►
like that one dropped the ball in that
[TS]
01:17:25
◼
►
respect I still thought they were
[TS]
01:17:26
◼
►
interesting things raised in the episode
[TS]
01:17:28
◼
►
interesting conundrums and it was
[TS]
01:17:30
◼
►
thought provoking
[TS]
01:17:31
◼
►
but it was the one that felt like they
[TS]
01:17:33
◼
►
sold out a bit and even the way they
[TS]
01:17:35
◼
►
ended that when I feel that they sold
[TS]
01:17:37
◼
►
out a little bit too so that felt a bit
[TS]
01:17:39
◼
►
like the black shape that one stuck out
[TS]
01:17:42
◼
►
not least because it was 90 minutes long
[TS]
01:17:44
◼
►
it was essentially like movie length and
[TS]
01:17:46
◼
►
I'm not really sure that needed to be
[TS]
01:17:47
◼
►
the case but when I was watching that
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
one as the last one that i was watching
[TS]
01:17:51
◼
►
I was really thinking this is very
[TS]
01:17:54
◼
►
Twilight Zone II but not in the good way
[TS]
01:17:57
◼
►
in the way that some of the bad episodes
[TS]
01:17:59
◼
►
are just like we're doing a silly thing
[TS]
01:18:01
◼
►
and here we have robotic bees digging
[TS]
01:18:03
◼
►
into people's brains in their pain
[TS]
01:18:04
◼
►
centers and yeah i'm i'm kinda with you
[TS]
01:18:07
◼
►
on that one that one just didn't quite
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
land for me
[TS]
01:18:10
◼
►
yeah but also when I kept thinking of
[TS]
01:18:12
◼
►
was this show is obviously has super
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
high production values but those bees
[TS]
01:18:17
◼
►
man that is some of the worst cgi i have
[TS]
01:18:20
◼
►
seen in a long time
[TS]
01:18:22
◼
►
uh-huh that's hash that slashes
[TS]
01:18:24
◼
►
middle-of-the-road I've seen worse i
[TS]
01:18:26
◼
►
mean i have seen worse but not in
[TS]
01:18:28
◼
►
something with high production values is
[TS]
01:18:30
◼
►
this and it's just like it kept breaking
[TS]
01:18:33
◼
►
me out of it every time that these bees
[TS]
01:18:35
◼
►
were walking around like this cgi looks
[TS]
01:18:37
◼
►
awful like it doesn't look like the bees
[TS]
01:18:39
◼
►
are on the surface it doesn't look like
[TS]
01:18:40
◼
►
the bees are in this scene it fell into
[TS]
01:18:43
◼
►
that uncanny valley for me where it's
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
like it's just to CGI it doesn't work
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
here and there just in viewing the base
[TS]
01:18:49
◼
►
with powers that they couldn't have like
[TS]
01:18:51
◼
►
surgical precision to find parts of
[TS]
01:18:53
◼
►
human brains and I had a few issues with
[TS]
01:18:55
◼
►
that episode but it was like 80 he was
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
okay it wasn't a waste of my time
[TS]
01:19:00
◼
►
this is the thing to say is like none of
[TS]
01:19:02
◼
►
these episodes that i feel like i've
[TS]
01:19:03
◼
►
wasted my time afterwards I have seen
[TS]
01:19:05
◼
►
plenty of movies where I feel like boy
[TS]
01:19:08
◼
►
was that a waste of my life right there
[TS]
01:19:09
◼
►
two hours just got but I was just a
[TS]
01:19:12
◼
►
we're like felt like that the wheels are
[TS]
01:19:13
◼
►
coming off a little bit a couple points
[TS]
01:19:15
◼
►
here but even in that last episode it
[TS]
01:19:16
◼
►
had a good example of what I mean where
[TS]
01:19:18
◼
►
the characters at a couple points use
[TS]
01:19:21
◼
►
self-driving cars and i like that they
[TS]
01:19:23
◼
►
felt no need to even point out that
[TS]
01:19:26
◼
►
their self-driving cars like it's just
[TS]
01:19:27
◼
►
the characters use it really naturally
[TS]
01:19:29
◼
►
it's like everybody understands what's
[TS]
01:19:30
◼
►
going on
[TS]
01:19:31
◼
►
and even if you miss it that the cars
[TS]
01:19:33
◼
►
yourself driving it doesn't matter
[TS]
01:19:35
◼
►
because they're just getting the
[TS]
01:19:36
◼
►
characters from one place to another
[TS]
01:19:38
◼
►
it's that kind of stuff that I like they
[TS]
01:19:40
◼
►
don't feel the need to linger on or
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
explain stuff just like we all know its
[TS]
01:19:43
◼
►
self-driving cars are we all understand
[TS]
01:19:45
◼
►
how this works and this is why the
[TS]
01:19:47
◼
►
interior seating arrangement of this car
[TS]
01:19:49
◼
►
is a little bit strange but if you don't
[TS]
01:19:50
◼
►
notice it doesn't matter and you can
[TS]
01:19:52
◼
►
just keep moving right along
[TS]
01:19:53
◼
►
I don't hundred percent agree with you
[TS]
01:19:54
◼
►
there i think episode 6 was a little bit
[TS]
01:19:57
◼
►
self-conscious about the self-driving
[TS]
01:19:59
◼
►
cars they reference to a couple of times
[TS]
01:20:01
◼
►
you know the girl who doesn't Drive she
[TS]
01:20:03
◼
►
says I'm gonna wait for self-driving
[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►
cars to become a bit more mainstream and
[TS]
01:20:06
◼
►
then when they get in the self-driving
[TS]
01:20:08
◼
►
car with like the equivalent of the FBI
[TS]
01:20:10
◼
►
guy they do comment on it and how this
[TS]
01:20:12
◼
►
is an even better one and have seen
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
before so I think that episode was a bit
[TS]
01:20:15
◼
►
self-driving cars of country but i agree
[TS]
01:20:18
◼
►
with your overall point about the series
[TS]
01:20:20
◼
►
it does integrate technology in a very
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
believable way which is unusual
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
so everyone's dying to go great with
[TS]
01:20:28
◼
►
which is the episode that you haven't
[TS]
01:20:31
◼
►
said you liked it there just one that
[TS]
01:20:32
◼
►
you particularly want to talk about so
[TS]
01:20:34
◼
►
what I said that there's one that stuck
[TS]
01:20:36
◼
►
with me i feel like in each of the
[TS]
01:20:38
◼
►
seasons there's an episode that stuck
[TS]
01:20:41
◼
►
with me in season one has mentioned many
[TS]
01:20:43
◼
►
times it's the 15 million merits which i
[TS]
01:20:45
◼
►
think is probably still there best one
[TS]
01:20:47
◼
►
to date the thing that I think about yep
[TS]
01:20:50
◼
►
all the time season 2 which is what sort
[TS]
01:20:53
◼
►
of mentally including the Christmas
[TS]
01:20:54
◼
►
episode like that christmas episode
[TS]
01:20:55
◼
►
still haunts me like I mean that word
[TS]
01:20:58
◼
►
like that christmas episode haunts me
[TS]
01:21:01
◼
►
it is now Christmastime in the UK and I
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
swear to God when I hear that Christmas
[TS]
01:21:06
◼
►
song it sends literal shivers down my
[TS]
01:21:09
◼
►
spine still write like it's just like I
[TS]
01:21:10
◼
►
can't hear that song and not think about
[TS]
01:21:12
◼
►
that episode it's horrible
[TS]
01:21:13
◼
►
thanks charlie brooker I can't remember
[TS]
01:21:15
◼
►
which socket was it's that I wish it
[TS]
01:21:17
◼
►
would be christmas everyday I think
[TS]
01:21:19
◼
►
maybe it stands out particularly for me
[TS]
01:21:20
◼
►
because this is not an American
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
christmas song is just a totally foreign
[TS]
01:21:23
◼
►
and bizarre christmas song so it's like
[TS]
01:21:25
◼
►
I was introduced to it in this nightmare
[TS]
01:21:27
◼
►
scenario i can so that's why it's like
[TS]
01:21:29
◼
►
when I hear it I just absolutely shutter
[TS]
01:21:31
◼
►
ok and so then for me in season three I
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
think the standout episode by far is get
[TS]
01:21:38
◼
►
ready for disappointment people it's not
[TS]
01:21:39
◼
►
the one you want
[TS]
01:21:40
◼
►
its nose dive that's the one that really
[TS]
01:21:42
◼
►
stuck out to me and i thought was
[TS]
01:21:45
◼
►
surprisingly was very very affecting the
[TS]
01:21:50
◼
►
people who sort of can't remember the
[TS]
01:21:51
◼
►
names are the numbers which episode was
[TS]
01:21:53
◼
►
this one so nosedive is the episode
[TS]
01:21:58
◼
►
people reading each other on their
[TS]
01:22:00
◼
►
phones with five star force star ratings
[TS]
01:22:04
◼
►
it's the episode with the woman who is
[TS]
01:22:06
◼
►
going to the wedding to give the
[TS]
01:22:09
◼
►
bridesmaid speech that one to me just
[TS]
01:22:12
◼
►
really felt like quintessential black
[TS]
01:22:16
◼
►
mirror everything about it just really
[TS]
01:22:18
◼
►
landed for me I loved the visual design
[TS]
01:22:21
◼
►
like the way it looked at all of the
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
characters are in this like happy pastel
[TS]
01:22:26
◼
►
land and they're all smiley and giving
[TS]
01:22:29
◼
►
each other five star ratings but it was
[TS]
01:22:31
◼
►
able to just very very effectively like
[TS]
01:22:35
◼
►
tap into my anxiety as I was watching
[TS]
01:22:39
◼
►
that and that one just really really
[TS]
01:22:41
◼
►
landed for me quite strongly you don't
[TS]
01:22:43
◼
►
agree you know what I don't agree
[TS]
01:22:45
◼
►
well I tell me what are you thinking
[TS]
01:22:47
◼
►
well that thing you point out that kind
[TS]
01:22:49
◼
►
of pastoral look of them and kind of the
[TS]
01:22:52
◼
►
over-the-top friendliness that everyone
[TS]
01:22:57
◼
►
has to each other who was so exaggerated
[TS]
01:22:59
◼
►
who I wasn't able to suspend my
[TS]
01:23:01
◼
►
disbelief enough and I know like Edward
[TS]
01:23:03
◼
►
Scissorhands which is one of my favorite
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
films is very much like this as well as
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
this kind of very unrealistic suburbia
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
where everyone's dressed in pastels and
[TS]
01:23:11
◼
►
move is really overly friendly to each
[TS]
01:23:13
◼
►
other in a way that is paradise but it
[TS]
01:23:15
◼
►
didn't quite work as well as it doesn't
[TS]
01:23:17
◼
►
Edward Scissorhands and for that reason
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
i didn't get immersed in the episode as
[TS]
01:23:21
◼
►
much I never kind of sympathize store
[TS]
01:23:23
◼
►
empathized with the main character
[TS]
01:23:26
◼
►
because I never really saw her as a real
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
person who when things start going wrong
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
for her and her rating nosedives I don't
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
really care about her very much because
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
I didn't think it was a real person
[TS]
01:23:35
◼
►
anyway to start with who
[TS]
01:23:37
◼
►
so the whole episode didn't grab me at
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
that kind of visceral level where i was
[TS]
01:23:42
◼
►
watching and getting sort of scared by
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
or thinking our gosh this could happen
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
to me or this is terrible for me it was
[TS]
01:23:49
◼
►
more just an interesting commentary on
[TS]
01:23:51
◼
►
social media and ratings and things like
[TS]
01:23:54
◼
►
that and in that respect I thought it
[TS]
01:23:56
◼
►
was really good and really good
[TS]
01:23:57
◼
►
observations and it probably like you
[TS]
01:24:00
◼
►
probably affected me maybe more than all
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
the other episodes to who
[TS]
01:24:05
◼
►
but not in the right way not in that way
[TS]
01:24:07
◼
►
more just in a that's interesting way i
[TS]
01:24:10
◼
►
did like it I do think it was really
[TS]
01:24:11
◼
►
good idea
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
it was really good it was so good that I
[TS]
01:24:15
◼
►
actually told my wife afterwards that
[TS]
01:24:17
◼
►
she must not watch it for why I don't
[TS]
01:24:21
◼
►
know because I think she's a bit cynical
[TS]
01:24:22
◼
►
about social media and doesn't like the
[TS]
01:24:24
◼
►
way we place so much importance on all
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
the ratings and that and that's what
[TS]
01:24:27
◼
►
this was about and I think she would
[TS]
01:24:29
◼
►
watch this and it was just infuriated
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
her even more with what I said to her
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
are you find it really interesting it's
[TS]
01:24:34
◼
►
about this sort of future world where
[TS]
01:24:36
◼
►
your social media ratings and likes and
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
things are really important and
[TS]
01:24:39
◼
►
everyone's really heavily judged on the
[TS]
01:24:40
◼
►
movie she said what you mean like now so
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
i had a funny experience with watching
[TS]
01:24:47
◼
►
this episode because one of the key plot
[TS]
01:24:49
◼
►
points in the episode is how people star
[TS]
01:24:51
◼
►
ratings affects their real-world ability
[TS]
01:24:55
◼
►
to be able to get a discount on a nice
[TS]
01:24:58
◼
►
home or like which cars can they rent or
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
what towns can they go into if you don't
[TS]
01:25:03
◼
►
have a star rating above a certain level
[TS]
01:25:04
◼
►
you're not able to access those
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
resources and also this idea that the
[TS]
01:25:09
◼
►
companies are wanting to provide rewards
[TS]
01:25:11
◼
►
to highly start highly influential users
[TS]
01:25:16
◼
►
within the social system
[TS]
01:25:17
◼
►
yeah and it enters being weird because
[TS]
01:25:19
◼
►
in the week immediately preceding
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
watching this episode I had two
[TS]
01:25:24
◼
►
conversations with 2 totally unrelated
[TS]
01:25:26
◼
►
people who work with companies whose
[TS]
01:25:31
◼
►
whole job is to find influencers on
[TS]
01:25:36
◼
►
social media and get them to use
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
products like to explicitly like pay
[TS]
01:25:41
◼
►
people to just wear certain brands of
[TS]
01:25:44
◼
►
shoes on their Instagram accounts and
[TS]
01:25:46
◼
►
the thing that was amazing to me is like
[TS]
01:25:49
◼
►
okay I knew this existed right obviously
[TS]
01:25:50
◼
►
this is a thing that exists if you have
[TS]
01:25:52
◼
►
millions of followers on Instagram you
[TS]
01:25:54
◼
►
have value in promoting products to two
[TS]
01:25:56
◼
►
companies but the thing that was
[TS]
01:25:58
◼
►
baffling to me was these companies were
[TS]
01:26:01
◼
►
going after what i would consider people
[TS]
01:26:04
◼
►
very very low down on the Instagram and
[TS]
01:26:09
◼
►
Twitter totem poles like people with
[TS]
01:26:11
◼
►
more followers than average but not like
[TS]
01:26:14
◼
►
hundreds of thousands of followers their
[TS]
01:26:16
◼
►
explicit strategy was we just want
[TS]
01:26:19
◼
►
people to see popular people using our
[TS]
01:26:22
◼
►
products and so it just ended up being
[TS]
01:26:25
◼
►
like a weird thing that I had
[TS]
01:26:26
◼
►
two separate conversations about like
[TS]
01:26:27
◼
►
more or less the same phenomenon of sort
[TS]
01:26:31
◼
►
of normal but well-regarded people in a
[TS]
01:26:35
◼
►
social network ending up getting like
[TS]
01:26:37
◼
►
rewards and bonuses for their popularity
[TS]
01:26:40
◼
►
and their high ratings it just ended up
[TS]
01:26:42
◼
►
feeling like boy this is this is like a
[TS]
01:26:43
◼
►
little too weird and and real to a
[TS]
01:26:47
◼
►
conversation that I've just had with two
[TS]
01:26:49
◼
►
different people at two different
[TS]
01:26:50
◼
►
companies doing like exactly this
[TS]
01:26:53
◼
►
it was very strange that's what's so
[TS]
01:26:54
◼
►
scary about this episode I mean it's
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
basically it shows a society where
[TS]
01:26:59
◼
►
what's happening now has just been made
[TS]
01:27:01
◼
►
a little bit more formalized and overt
[TS]
01:27:03
◼
►
but this is already happening
[TS]
01:27:05
◼
►
I mean you see and lots of things I've
[TS]
01:27:07
◼
►
been around the same time i watch
[TS]
01:27:09
◼
►
nosedive I had a similar experience
[TS]
01:27:10
◼
►
where I was doing something with YouTube
[TS]
01:27:14
◼
►
like filling out some forms for some
[TS]
01:27:15
◼
►
program or something you know to do with
[TS]
01:27:18
◼
►
the bureaucracy behind the same and
[TS]
01:27:20
◼
►
things you're asked to fill out is you
[TS]
01:27:22
◼
►
know how many subscribers just your
[TS]
01:27:24
◼
►
channel have little have any views if
[TS]
01:27:25
◼
►
you had what is your most viewed video
[TS]
01:27:27
◼
►
who this is part of the process now who
[TS]
01:27:29
◼
►
I applied to do something one time i
[TS]
01:27:32
◼
►
think it was like a social media event
[TS]
01:27:33
◼
►
with NASA or something to go to an event
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
which I couldn't end up going to but
[TS]
01:27:37
◼
►
filling out the application form was
[TS]
01:27:39
◼
►
whats your twitter handle
[TS]
01:27:41
◼
►
how many Twitter followers do you have
[TS]
01:27:42
◼
►
to lose our YouTube channel how many
[TS]
01:27:44
◼
►
YouTube subscribers do you have and it
[TS]
01:27:46
◼
►
will feel very quantitative and not very
[TS]
01:27:48
◼
►
qualitative it wasn't like you know what
[TS]
01:27:50
◼
►
do you make videos about what are your
[TS]
01:27:51
◼
►
ideas you know what you want to say
[TS]
01:27:52
◼
►
right it was just give us the data give
[TS]
01:27:55
◼
►
us the numbers that was clearly a big
[TS]
01:27:57
◼
►
part in the decision process and so it's
[TS]
01:28:00
◼
►
it's happening all the time already
[TS]
01:28:01
◼
►
yeah and the other thing about that was
[TS]
01:28:02
◼
►
just too real was a few months ago I
[TS]
01:28:06
◼
►
can't remember the company's name but
[TS]
01:28:08
◼
►
there was a social media startup that
[TS]
01:28:11
◼
►
was doing this exact thing that they
[TS]
01:28:13
◼
►
wanted to be a place that could collect
[TS]
01:28:15
◼
►
rankings just about individuals and
[TS]
01:28:19
◼
►
where people could rate individuals and
[TS]
01:28:21
◼
►
it ended up crashing and burning because
[TS]
01:28:23
◼
►
there was a really big backlash of
[TS]
01:28:25
◼
►
people pushing against it saying like
[TS]
01:28:27
◼
►
they don't they don't want a website
[TS]
01:28:28
◼
►
that's just readings for people in
[TS]
01:28:30
◼
►
general and the site was was trying to
[TS]
01:28:33
◼
►
pull together like what are all of your
[TS]
01:28:35
◼
►
various accounts like let's try to form
[TS]
01:28:37
◼
►
some kind of unique identifier of
[TS]
01:28:39
◼
►
you that can be rated by everybody but I
[TS]
01:28:42
◼
►
feel like yeah that one crash and it
[TS]
01:28:45
◼
►
didn't work but I feel like this is
[TS]
01:28:47
◼
►
essentially inevitable like I will be
[TS]
01:28:50
◼
►
pretty surprised if this doesn't
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
eventually come about that there's some
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
kind of centralized aggregate one to
[TS]
01:28:58
◼
►
five star rating database for individual
[TS]
01:29:02
◼
►
people i think that's one of the reasons
[TS]
01:29:04
◼
►
why i liked this episode struck me
[TS]
01:29:07
◼
►
because it is one of these cases where I
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
was trying to figure out like a little
[TS]
01:29:10
◼
►
bit of an inconsistency in my own mind
[TS]
01:29:12
◼
►
about the star ratings because as I've
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
mentioned before on this very podcast
[TS]
01:29:16
◼
►
one of the things that i think lewbert's
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
should do is make the star ratings of
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
the customers more immediately apparent

to the users of the system that i think
[TS]
01:29:27
◼
►
this would actually encourage good
[TS]
01:29:28
◼
►
behavior on behalf of not just the
[TS]
01:29:31
◼
►
drivers but also the customers right and
[TS]
01:29:33
◼
►
like have a little bit of a feedback
[TS]
01:29:35
◼
►
loop into people who were total dicks
[TS]
01:29:37
◼
►
right that maybe other people think
[TS]
01:29:38
◼
►
you're a total dick to but try to think
[TS]
01:29:40
◼
►
about like why am i okay with that in
[TS]
01:29:43
◼
►
the uber scenario but I really don't
[TS]
01:29:45
◼
►
like the idea of this website where you
[TS]
01:29:48
◼
►
can read people on a one to five star
[TS]
01:29:50
◼
►
rating and I think the conclusion I've
[TS]
01:29:52
◼
►
come to is I'm okay with ratings in like
[TS]
01:29:57
◼
►
specific transactional circumstances but
[TS]
01:30:01
◼
►
I think the reason why I found this
[TS]
01:30:03
◼
►
episode very anxiety-inducing to watch
[TS]
01:30:06
◼
►
is I don't think it makes sense and i
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
don't think it's fair to have like an
[TS]
01:30:11
◼
►
aggregate rating just for person that's
[TS]
01:30:15
◼
►
like them across all spectrums yeah how
[TS]
01:30:19
◼
►
do they interact with people in public
[TS]
01:30:20
◼
►
how do they interact with people in
[TS]
01:30:21
◼
►
private how do they interact with people
[TS]
01:30:23
◼
►
at their office like I don't think it's
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
good to collapse all of those to a
[TS]
01:30:28
◼
►
single dimension yeah well I feel like a
[TS]
01:30:30
◼
►
much more okay with how are you in an
[TS]
01:30:34
◼
►
uber car in a transactional environment
[TS]
01:30:36
◼
►
then I feel very comfortable with star
[TS]
01:30:38
◼
►
ratings and think they're good i think
[TS]
01:30:40
◼
►
that's the conclusion that I've come to
[TS]
01:30:42
◼
►
about how do i think through when are
[TS]
01:30:45
◼
►
these things ok and when are they
[TS]
01:30:47
◼
►
oh ok that's fair enough yeah that makes
[TS]
01:30:50
◼
►
the other reason why I think this
[TS]
01:30:51
◼
►
episode hit me particularly hard not
[TS]
01:30:54
◼
►
related to technology but my general
[TS]
01:30:56
◼
►
feeling of how do big problems happen is
[TS]
01:30:59
◼
►
that in my experience in life big
[TS]
01:31:02
◼
►
problems are the result of a sum of
[TS]
01:31:05
◼
►
small problems
[TS]
01:31:07
◼
►
none of which individually would be an
[TS]
01:31:08
◼
►
issue but all of which together form a
[TS]
01:31:11
◼
►
real tragedy that was the other reason
[TS]
01:31:13
◼
►
like this episode just had the right
[TS]
01:31:15
◼
►
hooks for my brain because this is my
[TS]
01:31:17
◼
►
experience and this is how I think that
[TS]
01:31:18
◼
►
like a series of small problems leads to
[TS]
01:31:22
◼
►
a huge problem which is essentially how
[TS]
01:31:25
◼
►
the entire episode unfolds and that's
[TS]
01:31:27
◼
►
why i like my anxiety just kept getting
[TS]
01:31:29
◼
►
like ramped up and ramped up and ramped
[TS]
01:31:31
◼
►
up as I guess she keeps dropping her
[TS]
01:31:33
◼
►
numbers a little bit and the more her
[TS]
01:31:34
◼
►
numbers dropped like the more that
[TS]
01:31:35
◼
►
causes more problems like I found that
[TS]
01:31:38
◼
►
very hard to watch hard to the point at
[TS]
01:31:41
◼
►
which after the episode was over it
[TS]
01:31:43
◼
►
occurred to me to check my Apple watch
[TS]
01:31:45
◼
►
heart rate data and sure enough like you
[TS]
01:31:48
◼
►
can see the data of my heart rate
[TS]
01:31:50
◼
►
increasing as a function of time as the
[TS]
01:31:52
◼
►
episode goes on as I was just sitting
[TS]
01:31:54
◼
►
there watching it so it's like this one
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
struck me right in the heart
[TS]
01:31:58
◼
►
ok did you recommend it to people like
[TS]
01:32:00
◼
►
you said your wife how you should watch
[TS]
01:32:01
◼
►
this one are friends on that all i
[TS]
01:32:04
◼
►
actually ended up just watching this one
[TS]
01:32:05
◼
►
twice because I've i felt like i was a
[TS]
01:32:09
◼
►
little bit too involved in it the first
[TS]
01:32:10
◼
►
time and so I watch it a second time
[TS]
01:32:12
◼
►
actually with my wife just before
[TS]
01:32:15
◼
►
reporting this and i'll just say that
[TS]
01:32:18
◼
►
black mirror is not a show for my wife
[TS]
01:32:20
◼
►
when it was over her conclusion was just
[TS]
01:32:23
◼
►
well that was horrible for like a
[TS]
01:32:25
◼
►
conversation over text let's talk about
[TS]
01:32:28
◼
►
something else
[TS]
01:32:29
◼
►
yeah fair enough there was no version in
[TS]
01:32:31
◼
►
which I was ever going to make my wife's
[TS]
01:32:32
◼
►
it through all of the episodes but i
[TS]
01:32:33
◼
►
just happen to want to rewatch this one
[TS]
01:32:35
◼
►
before recorded and she happened to be
[TS]
01:32:37
◼
►
in the room so it's like I'm going to
[TS]
01:32:39
◼
►
put this on you can watch it if you want
[TS]
01:32:41
◼
►
but I'm not sure this is for you and it
[TS]
01:32:44
◼
►
was not for her not for her at all so
[TS]
01:32:47
◼
►
the one that lots of people seem to want
[TS]
01:32:50
◼
►
to hear you talk about was the one
[TS]
01:32:52
◼
►
called sand junipero I'm just basing
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
this on my own social media fades moment
[TS]
01:32:57
◼
►
seems to be the one that people are
[TS]
01:32:58
◼
►
talking about the most
[TS]
01:32:59
◼
►
what did you think of that one this is
[TS]
01:33:01
◼
►
the one by the way where people who are
[TS]
01:33:03
◼
►
either sick or dead having uploaded to
[TS]
01:33:07
◼
►
this beautiful perfect life by the beach
[TS]
01:33:10
◼
►
and can live there happily ever after
[TS]
01:33:12
◼
►
their brain in a big hard drive
[TS]
01:33:14
◼
►
somewhere
[TS]
01:33:15
◼
►
yeah the the san gennaro episode I'm
[TS]
01:33:17
◼
►
surprised to hear that this is the one
[TS]
01:33:19
◼
►
people wanted me to talk about I just
[TS]
01:33:20
◼
►
presumed that of course the one that
[TS]
01:33:22
◼
►
struck me the most would also be the one
[TS]
01:33:24
◼
►
that people are requesting the most
[TS]
01:33:26
◼
►
planets that's not the case that was an
[TS]
01:33:28
◼
►
episode where I did feel a little bit
[TS]
01:33:30
◼
►
bored in the first half it was a slow
[TS]
01:33:34
◼
►
they took too long to get where they
[TS]
01:33:35
◼
►
need to be yeah and I feel like this
[TS]
01:33:37
◼
►
episode should have been more aware of
[TS]
01:33:39
◼
►
the fact that you know you're a black
[TS]
01:33:41
◼
►
mirror episode right like there's no
[TS]
01:33:43
◼
►
mystery here everyone's waiting for an
[TS]
01:33:45
◼
►
thing you know what when they first
[TS]
01:33:47
◼
►
opened the scene and it's it's taking
[TS]
01:33:49
◼
►
place in the nineteen eighties I thought
[TS]
01:33:51
◼
►
for maybe a minute and 90 seconds ago
[TS]
01:33:54
◼
►
it'll be interesting to see if they
[TS]
01:33:56
◼
►
actually do a black mirror episode that
[TS]
01:33:58
◼
►
is set in the past like I was kind of
[TS]
01:34:00
◼
►
wondering what could you do maybe
[TS]
01:34:01
◼
►
there's an interesting story to do there
[TS]
01:34:03
◼
►
but it became like as soon as they
[TS]
01:34:05
◼
►
started running through the music it's
[TS]
01:34:07
◼
►
like oh no this is a cartoon version of
[TS]
01:34:08
◼
►
the nineteen eighties right this is not
[TS]
01:34:09
◼
►
supposed to be the actual nineteen
[TS]
01:34:11
◼
►
eighties and so yummy just immediately
[TS]
01:34:13
◼
►
like well I'm watching a black mirror
[TS]
01:34:14
◼
►
episode obviously this is some kind of
[TS]
01:34:16
◼
►
simulation or something
[TS]
01:34:17
◼
►
yeah and I did feel like it took way too
[TS]
01:34:21
◼
►
long to get to the behind-the-scenes
[TS]
01:34:24
◼
►
like there isn't really any mystery here
[TS]
01:34:25
◼
►
people when you keep jumping in time and
[TS]
01:34:29
◼
►
it's always nighttime and everybody's
[TS]
01:34:30
◼
►
referencing midnight I just I felt like
[TS]
01:34:33
◼
►
the first half of that episode didn't
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
really work
[TS]
01:34:36
◼
►
I mean the only bait-and-switch was
[TS]
01:34:38
◼
►
always it's about time travel but that
[TS]
01:34:40
◼
►
seems unlikely for a blackberry episode
[TS]
01:34:42
◼
►
and sure enough it wasn't about time
[TS]
01:34:44
◼
►
travel that's fine that's even cross my
[TS]
01:34:45
◼
►
mind is a possibility i was just like
[TS]
01:34:47
◼
►
waiting for the thing and then I felt
[TS]
01:34:51
◼
►
the simulation reveal on that one was
[TS]
01:34:54
◼
►
not particularly surprising by the time
[TS]
01:34:57
◼
►
they get there because they took their
[TS]
01:34:58
◼
►
sweet sweet time to get there so yeah it
[TS]
01:35:01
◼
►
was one of the two episodes where I
[TS]
01:35:03
◼
►
noticed that like I took out my phone
[TS]
01:35:05
◼
►
and did a couple things at one point is
[TS]
01:35:06
◼
►
like whoo that's not a good sign but
[TS]
01:35:08
◼
►
it's like I got distracted by myself for
[TS]
01:35:11
◼
►
a little bit of it but
[TS]
01:35:13
◼
►
I mean again it's good TV like I don't
[TS]
01:35:16
◼
►
regret spending my time on it but I'm a
[TS]
01:35:18
◼
►
little bit surprised that this is the
[TS]
01:35:19
◼
►
one that people seem to want to ask
[TS]
01:35:20
◼
►
about because I'm not even really sure
[TS]
01:35:22
◼
►
like what is it that people are
[TS]
01:35:24
◼
►
wondering about i mean i have to say i
[TS]
01:35:27
◼
►
thought the first half of it was a bit
[TS]
01:35:28
◼
►
slow em I thought the second half was
[TS]
01:35:30
◼
►
very compelling movement was amongst the
[TS]
01:35:32
◼
►
best part of the whole series for me
[TS]
01:35:35
◼
►
so why do you think that I liked the
[TS]
01:35:36
◼
►
sort of discussions that are raised and
[TS]
01:35:39
◼
►
the thoughts that made me think would I
[TS]
01:35:41
◼
►
want to do that and what do you do if
[TS]
01:35:43
◼
►
someone else you love hasn't gone into
[TS]
01:35:45
◼
►
it and it made a conscious decision not
[TS]
01:35:47
◼
►
to be uploaded and then she was like
[TS]
01:35:49
◼
►
well I don't want to do it because my
[TS]
01:35:50
◼
►
husband didn't and my daughter died it
[TS]
01:35:52
◼
►
raised a lot of like emotional issues
[TS]
01:35:54
◼
►
that spoke to me but also I just thought
[TS]
01:35:56
◼
►
it was quite compelling story and there
[TS]
01:35:58
◼
►
were some nice little twists and turns
[TS]
01:35:59
◼
►
towards the end and I thought the final
[TS]
01:36:01
◼
►
saying was very powerful would let you
[TS]
01:36:03
◼
►
know the blinking lights of the servers
[TS]
01:36:04
◼
►
just reminding us all that this is all
[TS]
01:36:06
◼
►
happening in a server was a really nice
[TS]
01:36:08
◼
►
ending who I think the reason people
[TS]
01:36:10
◼
►
want to hear from you on it is because
[TS]
01:36:11
◼
►
you know you're so interested in things
[TS]
01:36:14
◼
►
like consciousness and free will and
[TS]
01:36:15
◼
►
stuff like that
[TS]
01:36:16
◼
►
I think they probably just wonder what
[TS]
01:36:18
◼
►
you think of the technology I think it
[TS]
01:36:20
◼
►
goes without saying that love to be
[TS]
01:36:21
◼
►
uploaded to what if you could
[TS]
01:36:23
◼
►
yeah but also I think anyone who's
[TS]
01:36:24
◼
►
listen to the show would probably expect
[TS]
01:36:26
◼
►
my answer which is that in the episode
[TS]
01:36:29
◼
►
while the elderly and the sick are using
[TS]
01:36:31
◼
►
this virtual town San junipero to
[TS]
01:36:33
◼
►
vacation in and they're they're able to
[TS]
01:36:36
◼
►
experience this virtual world while I
[TS]
01:36:38
◼
►
think that is the case in the end when
[TS]
01:36:42
◼
►
they die and when they're uploading
[TS]
01:36:43
◼
►
themselves into the cloud essentially to
[TS]
01:36:45
◼
►
live in this thing forever i come down
[TS]
01:36:47
◼
►
on the side that i am not convinced that
[TS]
01:36:50
◼
►
it is actually possible to transfer your
[TS]
01:36:53
◼
►
consciousness into a computer i think it
[TS]
01:36:56
◼
►
will and it will inevitably be possible
[TS]
01:36:58
◼
►
to transfer a copy that is
[TS]
01:37:02
◼
►
indistinguishable from you when i'm
[TS]
01:37:06
◼
►
watching that episode and you know this
[TS]
01:37:08
◼
►
show is showing like oh well they these
[TS]
01:37:10
◼
►
two characters have uploaded themselves
[TS]
01:37:12
◼
►
into the server and they get to live
[TS]
01:37:14
◼
►
here forever
[TS]
01:37:15
◼
►
all I'm thinking is like well they're
[TS]
01:37:16
◼
►
obviously dead and there's just these
[TS]
01:37:18
◼
►
copies of them that are living on
[TS]
01:37:19
◼
►
forever in the server but it's not them
[TS]
01:37:22
◼
►
that would be like my actual take on
[TS]
01:37:24
◼
►
I think the technology would be so know
[TS]
01:37:27
◼
►
what I expect to hear from you but I
[TS]
01:37:28
◼
►
feel like that's obviously what I would
[TS]
01:37:30
◼
►
be thinking I just never thought you
[TS]
01:37:32
◼
►
would have thought if you could get the
[TS]
01:37:33
◼
►
right degree of complexity of the
[TS]
01:37:35
◼
►
algorithm in the system that constitutes
[TS]
01:37:38
◼
►
a Brady or gray that would count as a
[TS]
01:37:40
◼
►
consciousness
[TS]
01:37:42
◼
►
I thought you sort of thought
[TS]
01:37:42
◼
►
consciousness was a sufficient level of
[TS]
01:37:45
◼
►
complexity so you just gonna have big
[TS]
01:37:46
◼
►
enough service with enough complexity to
[TS]
01:37:48
◼
►
hit the tipping point for consciousness
[TS]
01:37:51
◼
►
this is again a different thing I can
[TS]
01:37:53
◼
►
fully believe that the copies are
[TS]
01:37:56
◼
►
conscious and the copies think that they
[TS]
01:37:58
◼
►
are the people who have lived their
[TS]
01:38:00
◼
►
lives outside of the machine before
[TS]
01:38:01
◼
►
being uploaded into the cloud
[TS]
01:38:03
◼
►
yeah but that's a very different
[TS]
01:38:06
◼
►
question from if I am imagining i am in
[TS]
01:38:09
◼
►
a bed dying and something is being
[TS]
01:38:13
◼
►

that sits on my forehead and reads my
[TS]
01:38:16
◼

brain waves or whatever I still say that
[TS]
01:38:19
◼
►
like my expectation is that my personal
[TS]
01:38:22
◼
►
experiences I close my eyes and I die
[TS]
01:38:25
◼
►
and it's lights out forever and on the
[TS]
01:38:27
◼
►
server a thing wakes up and has the
[TS]
01:38:31
◼
►
subjective experience that it has been
[TS]
01:38:33
◼
►
just transferred into the Machine and
[TS]
01:38:35
◼
►
now gets to live forever but I don't see
[TS]
01:38:38
◼
►
any reason to expect that would be me
[TS]
01:38:41
◼
►
this really does go back to like the
[TS]
01:38:42
◼
►
transporter problem because it's the
[TS]
01:38:43
◼
►
same issue of whatever you're uploading
[TS]
01:38:46
◼
►
you could probably do it without having
[TS]
01:38:50
◼
►
to have the person on the other end died
[TS]
01:38:52
◼
►
so I don't see any reason to think that
[TS]
01:38:54
◼
►
it's anything except a perfect copy and
[TS]
01:38:56
◼
►
not not an actual transfer of
[TS]
01:39:00
◼
►
consciousness I mean this is a director
[TS]
01:39:01
◼
►
of what we're talking about with the
[TS]
01:39:03
◼
►
cryogenic freezing table I said I
[TS]
01:39:05
◼
►
thought the person a thousand years
[TS]
01:39:07
◼
►
probably wouldn't be me well that's why
[TS]
01:39:08
◼
►
I think it's really interesting stories
[TS]
01:39:10
◼
►
taking the opposite opinion here like
[TS]
01:39:11
◼
►
you think you could be uploaded into a
[TS]
01:39:13
◼
►
computer and that it would be you
[TS]
01:39:16
◼
►
no no that's not what you're saying I'm
[TS]
01:39:17
◼
►
just surprised that you don't think it
[TS]
01:39:19
◼
►
but i have no particular opinion on it
[TS]
01:39:21
◼
►
I mean they don't really address that
[TS]
01:39:23
◼
►
technology and the episode it could be
[TS]
01:39:24
◼
►
possible that you can only be in one
[TS]
01:39:25
◼
►
place at once and when you're holidaying
[TS]
01:39:27
◼
►
in San junipero you know you're not also
[TS]
01:39:31
◼
►
in yourself and when you get uploaded
[TS]
01:39:32
◼
►
out of your body they take something you
[TS]
01:39:34
◼
►
know they have to take something away i
[TS]
01:39:35
◼
►
don't know about ya episode doesn't
[TS]
01:39:37
◼
►
really touch on
[TS]
01:39:38
◼
►
yeah yeah they're just another kind of
[TS]
01:39:39
◼
►
blowing past it but I think in any kind
[TS]
01:39:41
◼
►
of reasonable thinking like what could
[TS]
01:39:44
◼
►
this machine possibly be doing like or
[TS]
01:39:46
◼
►
what is a machine that we could possibly
[TS]
01:39:47
◼
►
build in the future and we've touched on
[TS]
01:39:50
◼
►
consciousness so many times but I i
[TS]
01:39:51
◼
►
really do have this I mean it's a gut
[TS]
01:39:54
◼
►
feeling it's not based on anything
[TS]
01:39:56
◼
►
obviously but i think that my subjective
[TS]
01:40:00
◼
►
experience of being me is probably tied
[TS]
01:40:05
◼
►
to my actual biological brain in a way
[TS]
01:40:09
◼
►
that is not removable right in a way
[TS]
01:40:11
◼
►
that is copyable but not removable which
[TS]
01:40:15
◼
►
is why like I have a very hard time
[TS]
01:40:17
◼
►
imagining like even if lifespans get
[TS]
01:40:19
◼
►
expanded like it's you know a thousand
[TS]
01:40:21
◼
►
years in the future i have a very hard
[TS]
01:40:23
◼
►
time imagining that I would ever really
[TS]
01:40:26
◼
►
want to upload myself into a machine
[TS]
01:40:29
◼
►
because I feel like I'm pretty convinced
[TS]
01:40:31
◼
►
that that would be my subjective death
[TS]
01:40:33
◼
►
even if everybody else around me was
[TS]
01:40:35
◼
►
like oh you love that you finally
[TS]
01:40:37
◼
►
uploaded yourself into the cloud isn't
[TS]
01:40:39
◼
►
this awesome right and like cloud me
[TS]
01:40:41
◼
►
would be going yeah i don't know why i
[TS]
01:40:42
◼
►
never did this before what a fool I was
[TS]
01:40:44
◼
►
right but like actual biological meet
[TS]
01:40:47
◼
►
would just be dead right
[TS]
01:40:48
◼
►
dead dead dead that's my feeling about
[TS]
01:40:50
◼
►
it so I got to keep the brain going
[TS]
01:40:53
◼
►
occasionally I get these little glimpses
[TS]
01:40:55
◼
►
of hope for Humanity occasionally gray
[TS]
01:40:57
◼
►
you make me happy when understand what
[TS]
01:40:59
◼
►
you mean by that why is a glimpse for
[TS]
01:41:01
◼
►
probably because that's sort of half
[TS]
01:41:03
◼
►
surprises me that's your view like that
[TS]
01:41:05
◼
►
you have that kind of attachment to your
[TS]
01:41:07
◼
►
mortal coil patent that you place that
[TS]
01:41:09
◼
►
importance on your on your mushy self
[TS]
01:41:11
◼
►
makes me a little bit happy but can you
[TS]
01:41:13
◼
►
freeze these things always so wrong and
[TS]
01:41:15
◼
►
it's a strange way my attachment mr.
[TS]
01:41:17
◼
►
being alive right like yeah my
[TS]
01:41:19
◼
►
attachment is not to like oh this human
[TS]
01:41:21
◼
►
body it's fantastic know it's a horrible
[TS]
01:41:23
◼
►
pile of rotting meat that we drive
[TS]
01:41:24
◼
►
around it and if i could upload myself
[TS]
01:41:27
◼
►
into the cloud I would well I guess what
[TS]
01:41:28
◼
►
I'm saying is I'm happy that your
[TS]
01:41:30
◼
►
definition of life is so attached to
[TS]
01:41:31
◼
►
your mushy self
[TS]
01:41:32
◼
►
yeah but it's not the way I would want
[TS]
01:41:34
◼
►
it to be if I could snap my fingers and
[TS]
01:41:36
◼
►
when you say something and I say that
[TS]
01:41:39
◼
►
makes me happy that you think that you
[TS]
01:41:40
◼
►
immediately rile up and say all with
[TS]
01:41:42
◼
►
that makes pretty happy about I must
[TS]
01:41:44
◼
►
have to rephrase it because know the
[TS]
01:41:45
◼
►
reason I have to rephrase it is because
[TS]
01:41:47
◼
►
when you're happy it's almost always
[TS]
01:41:49
◼
►
based on some kind of bizarre misunder
[TS]
01:41:51
◼
►
standing of what I'm saying and now i
[TS]
01:41:54
◼
►
want to i basically what i do is you say
[TS]
01:41:56
◼
►
something that makes me happy until
[TS]
01:41:58
◼
►
you've made me happy but then I put it
[TS]
01:42:00
◼
►
to you in another way that you didn't
[TS]
01:42:01
◼
►
say it was you up if right you say it in
[TS]
01:42:04
◼
►
a way that is wrong preference is what I
[TS]
01:42:06
◼
►
feel the need to correct it
[TS]
01:42:07
◼
►
I want nothing more than a brady to be
[TS]
01:42:09
◼
►
happy but you take my thoughts
[TS]
01:42:11
◼
►
Andrea express them in a way that I
[TS]
01:42:13
◼
►
don't agree with and so I feel compelled
[TS]
01:42:14
◼
►
to correct you
[TS]
01:42:15
◼
►
that's what's going there just quickly
[TS]
01:42:18
◼
►
the two other episodes we haven't talked
[TS]
01:42:19
◼
►
about really at all other than briefly
[TS]
01:42:21
◼
►
but i have watched i'll ask you what you
[TS]
01:42:23
◼
►
thought of them play test episode to
[TS]
01:42:26
◼
►
this sort of the video game brain
[TS]
01:42:29
◼
►
implant one I thought that was quite
[TS]
01:42:30
◼
►
cool i thought it was a cool episode
[TS]
01:42:32
◼
►
that's the word I would use to describe
[TS]
01:42:33
◼
►
I like the style of the story I thought
[TS]
01:42:36
◼
►
it was cool yeah i can give it a
[TS]
01:42:38
◼
►
coolness i can go along with that I kind
[TS]
01:42:41
◼
►
of like the setup of it i did like that
[TS]
01:42:43
◼
►
whoever was writing the script was
[TS]
01:42:46
◼
►
clearly super into video games because
[TS]
01:42:48
◼
►
that script was just packed full of
[TS]
01:42:52
◼
►
little video game references and it
[TS]
01:42:55
◼
►
really did feel like whoever's writing
[TS]
01:42:56
◼
►
this knows their stuff right like would
[TS]
01:42:59
◼
►
you kindly open the door it's like as a
[TS]
01:43:01
◼
►
perfect line at that moment which like
[TS]
01:43:02
◼
►
indicates that the person writing this
[TS]
01:43:03
◼
►
knows what they're talking about
[TS]
01:43:05
◼
►
I did like the kind of nintendo style
[TS]
01:43:08
◼
►
CEO of the company i enjoyed watching it
[TS]
01:43:11
◼
►
the only thing was i'm just generally
[TS]
01:43:13
◼
►
not a fan of the horror genre like this
[TS]
01:43:17
◼
►
was a horror episode for the most part
[TS]
01:43:19
◼
►
and most of the time when i'm watching
[TS]
01:43:23
◼
►
horror I just feel kind of bored right
[TS]
01:43:26
◼
►
or they're using jumpscares to try to
[TS]
01:43:29
◼
►
get a reaction out of you and I did
[TS]
01:43:31
◼
►
think it was funny that this episode
[TS]
01:43:33
◼
►
kind of commented on the jump-scares
[TS]
01:43:35
◼
►
it's like oh he knows that he's waiting
[TS]
01:43:37
◼
►
for jumpscares but I did have a note
[TS]
01:43:39
◼
►
which is like jump scares are annoying
[TS]
01:43:42
◼
►
even when you're playing with the idea
[TS]
01:43:44
◼
►
of jump-scares like instant it still
[TS]
01:43:46
◼
►
doesn't change what it is because the
[TS]
01:43:48
◼
►
jump-scares just like poking someone in
[TS]
01:43:51
◼
►
a sensitive spot is like if you're doing
[TS]
01:43:53
◼
►
it ironically like you're still poking
[TS]
01:43:55
◼
►
someone in the reflective spot and they
[TS]
01:43:57
◼
►
can't do anything about it so I thought
[TS]
01:44:00
◼
►
it was fine i did like that it was it
[TS]
01:44:02
◼
►
was a bit of a different take on the
[TS]
01:44:04
◼
►
like we can
[TS]
01:44:05
◼
►
necessarily trust the world around us
[TS]
01:44:06
◼
►
but it wasn't firmly for me partly
[TS]
01:44:09
◼
►
because of the genre that it happened to
[TS]
01:44:11
◼
►
be said in fair enough and shut up and
[TS]
01:44:15
◼
►
dance the sort of the black myo filming
[TS]
01:44:18
◼
►
you on your webcam and getting the dirt
[TS]
01:44:21
◼
►
on everyone and then making them do
[TS]
01:44:22
◼
►
weird stuff I felt weird about this one
[TS]
01:44:24
◼
►
what do you think of it
[TS]
01:44:25
◼
►
yeah it was there was a bit of a strange
[TS]
01:44:27
◼
►
episode in a way I felt like it was kind
[TS]
01:44:30
◼
►
of believable and also ridiculous at the
[TS]
01:44:34
◼
►
same time when he was kind of what I
[TS]
01:44:35
◼
►
kept thinking of I thought it was
[TS]
01:44:37
◼
►
implausible
[TS]
01:44:38
◼
►
mmm yeah I can see that i felt like i
[TS]
01:44:41
◼
►
was riding on the edge of the suspension
[TS]
01:44:44
◼
►
of disbelief and I think as the further
[TS]
01:44:46
◼
►
the episode went along the more my
[TS]
01:44:48
◼
►
suspension was disbelieved is that how
[TS]
01:44:51
◼
►
that works like the idea of blackmailing
[TS]
01:44:53
◼
►
people and having them run errands and
[TS]
01:44:57
◼
►
do stuff is like okay I can see this but
[TS]
01:45:02
◼
►
when the episode starts to turn into
[TS]
01:45:04
◼
►
like oh we're having them run all of
[TS]
01:45:06
◼
►
these errands and having them do things
[TS]
01:45:08
◼
►
to self-destruct themselves it's like
[TS]
01:45:11
◼
►
okay well now I'm having a bit of a
[TS]
01:45:12
◼
►
harder time going along with the
[TS]
01:45:15
◼
►
plausibility of this like this is a lot
[TS]
01:45:17
◼
►
of effort to ruin a few people's lives
[TS]
01:45:19
◼
►
became a bit like moral crusading like
[TS]
01:45:22
◼
►
you don't think it's more likely the
[TS]
01:45:24
◼
►
troubles would have them to burbank for
[TS]
01:45:25
◼
►
the money rather than teach them some
[TS]
01:45:27
◼
►
big life lesson
[TS]
01:45:29
◼
►
yeah that's where it started to get like
[TS]
01:45:31
◼
►
I can't believe the resources that are
[TS]
01:45:33
◼
►
being put into this and perhaps the note
[TS]
01:45:36
◼
►
that rang most incorrect for me out of
[TS]
01:45:39
◼
►
anything ever watch the black mirror was
[TS]
01:45:42
◼
►
at the end when they have the
[TS]
01:45:44
◼
►
blackmailers send the characters a
[TS]
01:45:47
◼
►
little troll face on their phone that
[TS]
01:45:50
◼
►
just playing wrong for me because I i
[TS]
01:45:52
◼
►
have spent too much time on the internet
[TS]
01:45:54
◼
►
to take that trollface seriously right
[TS]
01:45:57
◼
►
so when they're trying to use that as
[TS]
01:45:59
◼
►
like the gut punch at the end of the
[TS]
01:46:01
◼
►
episode like lol it was all the joke
[TS]
01:46:03
◼
►
it's like I can't take that seriously
[TS]
01:46:05
◼
►
this can't be like that who look at us
[TS]
01:46:07
◼
►
we're having a series ending to this
[TS]
01:46:09
◼
►
episode and so that didn't quite work
[TS]
01:46:12
◼
►
super well for me
[TS]
01:46:14
◼
►
yeah there were a few things and that
[TS]
01:46:16
◼
►
one that just didn't quite gel for may
[TS]
01:46:17
◼
►
say my favorites were definitely San
[TS]
01:46:20
◼
►
junipero playtesting nosedive
[TS]
01:46:22
◼
►
I haven't watched men against fire em
[TS]
01:46:25
◼
►
but you told me it's not that good and I
[TS]
01:46:27
◼
►
didn't like start of it
[TS]
01:46:28
◼
►
well I don't want to spoil anything for
[TS]
01:46:29
◼
►
you so that's where we're literally in
[TS]
01:46:32
◼
►
the spoilers I if you have to divide
[TS]
01:46:35
◼
►
them into 32 watching three that you
[TS]
01:46:37
◼
►
could give a past except just for the
[TS]
01:46:39
◼
►
fun of it would be your three favorites
[TS]
01:46:41
◼
►
obviously nosedive would be number one
[TS]
01:46:43
◼
►
yeah i think i would probably put San
[TS]
01:46:46
◼
►
junipero is number two
[TS]
01:46:48
◼
►
maybe and then i'll probably put hated
[TS]
01:46:54
◼
►
in the nation is number three as the
[TS]
01:46:56
◼
►
next one to watch that leaves play test
[TS]
01:47:00
◼
►
the horror one man against fire which i
[TS]
01:47:02
◼
►
think is probably the worst of the bunch
[TS]
01:47:04
◼
►
of my opinion and shut up and dances the
[TS]
01:47:06
◼
►
three that I would feel like you're not
[TS]
01:47:08
◼
►
missing a lot if you skip that make a
[TS]
01:47:10
◼
►
nosedive San junipero hated the nation
[TS]
01:47:12
◼
►
that would be my top three from the
[TS]
01:47:14
◼
►
season well done black mirror I don't
[TS]

know if I can milk the cow again but
[TS]
01:47:18
◼
►
I've done or I sipho it's very
[TS]
01:47:20
◼
►
interesting because i feel like i was
[TS]
01:47:21
◼
►
looking at the episodes from season one
[TS]
01:47:23
◼
►
and season one you start out with the
[TS]
01:47:26
◼
►
national anthem which is just sort of a
[TS]
01:47:28
◼
►
bizarre story that stands on its own and
[TS]
01:47:31
◼
►
same with 15 million merits which is a
[TS]
01:47:33
◼
►
thing that stands on its own but then
[TS]
01:47:35
◼
►
interestingly it ends with the entire
[TS]
01:47:37
◼
►
history of you which is that episode
[TS]
01:47:40
◼
►
about being able to record and playback
[TS]
01:47:41
◼
►
everything in your life
[TS]
01:47:43
◼
►
yeah but looking back on it I think that
[TS]
01:47:45
◼
►
the entire history of us pisode is the
[TS]
01:47:48
◼
►
episode that has laid out the black
[TS]
01:47:52
◼
►
mirror universe in a sense yes yet this
[TS]
01:47:56
◼
►
whole idea of a near-future world people
[TS]
01:48:00
◼
►
have modern phones we all have contact
[TS]
01:48:03
◼
►
lenses in our eyes and augmented reality
[TS]
01:48:05
◼
►
and this universe that feels very real
[TS]
01:48:09
◼
►
and very close and I feel like season
[TS]
01:48:14
◼
►
three I feel like they may have used up
[TS]
01:48:19
◼
►
that universe now I like a season to
[TS]
01:48:22
◼
►
revisit it in a number of locations most
[TS]
01:48:24
◼
►
notably in white Christmas it's like boy
[TS]
01:48:26
◼
►
did they lean on that again
[TS]
01:48:27
◼
►
and in a fantastic way but I think
[TS]
01:48:30
◼
►
season three is like maybe we're done
[TS]
01:48:33
◼
►
with this now and if there is going to
[TS]
01:48:35
◼
►
be another series i would want to see
[TS]
01:48:38
◼
►
probably more like a standalone episodes
[TS]
01:48:42
◼
►
like create a little world and go
[TS]
01:48:44
◼
►
through it and talk about it and come
[TS]
01:48:47
◼
►
back like I'm not quite sure there's a
[TS]
01:48:49
◼
►
lot more to be done in this entire
[TS]
01:48:52
◼
►
history of you universe that they set
[TS]
01:48:55
◼
►
out a few years ago they kind of pendant
[TS]
01:48:57
◼
►
by their name those and because the
[TS]
01:48:58
◼
►
whole you know the black mare name is
[TS]
01:48:59
◼
►
holding up this mirror to our current
[TS]
01:49:01
◼
►
society but with this black tinge this
[TS]
01:49:03
◼
►
dark things so to veer away from that
[TS]
01:49:07
◼
►
and start creating new worlds and not do
[TS]
01:49:09
◼
►
that would kind of I guess the black
[TS]
01:49:11
◼
►
mirror will just become a meaningless
[TS]
01:49:12
◼
►
brand name that wouldn't you know well

01:49:14
◼
►
it should be cool bro neighbor it's very
[TS]
01:49:16
◼

cool but I've always taken it to be the
[TS]
01:49:18
◼
►
phone surfaces like I've always thought
[TS]
01:49:19
◼
►
that was referring to like the like the
[TS]
01:49:22
◼
►
ipad screens and the iphone screens are

01:49:24
◼
►
the black mirror like that though is how
[TS]
01:49:25
◼
►
I really don't know I always thought it
[TS]
01:49:27
◼
►
was like reflecting our society back to
[TS]

◼
►
us but you know in a darker tone
