alias "vsauce0" "say Hey, Vsauce. Michael here. Where are your fingers? ; alias vsauce vsauce1"
alias "vsauce1" "say Seriously. It's a pretty easy question. ; alias vsauce vsauce2"
alias "vsauce2" "say You should be able to answer it. But how do you know? ; alias vsauce vsauce3"
alias "vsauce3" "say How does anyone know anything?; alias vsauce vsauce4"
alias "vsauce4" "say You might say, well, I know where my fingers are. ; alias vsauce vsauce5"
alias "vsauce5" "say I'm looking right at them. Or, I can touch them, I can feel them, ; alias vsauce vsauce6"
alias "vsauce6" "say they're right here and that's good. Your senses are a great way to learn things. ; alias vsauce vsauce7"
alias "vsauce7" "say In fact, we have way more than the usual five senses we talk about. ; alias vsauce vsauce8"
alias "vsauce8" "say For instance, your kinesthetic sense, proprioception.; alias vsauce vsauce9"
alias "vsauce9" "say This is what the police evaluate during a field sobriety test. ; alias vsauce vsauce10"
alias "vsauce10" "say It allows you to tell where your fingers and arms and head and legs in your body is,; alias vsauce vsauce11"
alias "vsauce11" "say all in relation to each other without having to look or touch other things. ; alias vsauce vsauce12"
alias "vsauce12" "say We have way more than five senses, we have at least twice as many and then some. But they're not perfect.; alias vsauce vsauce13"
alias "vsauce13" "say There are optical illusions, audio illusions, temperature sensation illusions, even tactile illusions.; alias vsauce vsauce14"
alias "vsauce14" "say Can you turn your tongue upside down? If so, perfect. Try this. ; alias vsauce vsauce15"
alias "vsauce15" "say Run your finger along the outer edge of the tip of your upside down tongue. ; alias vsauce vsauce16"
alias "vsauce16" "say Your tongue will be able to feel your finger, but in the wrong place. ; alias vsauce vsauce17"
alias "vsauce17" "say Our brains never needed to develop an understanding of upside down tongue touch. ; alias vsauce vsauce18"
alias "vsauce18" "say So, when you touch the right side of your tongue when it's flipped over to your left side,; alias vsauce vsauce19"
alias "vsauce19" "say you perceive a sensation on the opposite side, where your tongue usually is but isn't when it's upside down.; alias vsauce vsauce20"
alias "vsauce20" "say It's pretty freaky and cool and a little humbling, because it shows the limits of the accuracy of our senses, ; alias vsauce vsauce21"
alias "vsauce21" "say the only tools we have to get what's out there in here.; alias vsauce vsauce22"
alias "vsauce22" "say The philosophy of knowledge, the study of knowing, is called epistemology. ; alias vsauce vsauce23"
alias "vsauce23" "say Plato famously said that the things we know are things that are true, ; alias vsauce vsauce24"
alias "vsauce24" "say that we believe and that we have justification for believing. ; alias vsauce vsauce25"
alias "vsauce25" "say those justifications might be irrational or they might be rational, ; alias vsauce vsauce26"
alias "vsauce26" "say they might be based on proof, but don't get too confident because proven is not a synonym for true.; alias vsauce vsauce27"
alias "vsauce27" "say Luckily, there are things that we can know without needing proof, without needing to even leave the house,; alias vsauce vsauce28"
alias "vsauce28" "say things that we can know as true by reason alone. These are things that we know a priori.; alias vsauce vsauce29"
alias "vsauce29" "say An example would be the statement 'all bachelors are unmarried.'; alias vsauce vsauce30"
alias "vsauce30" "say I don't have to go survey every bachelor on earth to know that that is true. ; alias vsauce vsauce31"
alias "vsauce31" "say All bachelors are unmarried because that's how we define the word bachelor. ; alias vsauce vsauce32"
alias "vsauce32" "say Of course, you have to know what the words bachelor and unmarried mean in the first place. ; alias vsauce vsauce33"
alias "vsauce33" "say Oh, you do? Okay. Perfect. That's great. But how do you know?; alias vsauce vsauce34"
alias "vsauce34" "say This time I mean functionally, how do you know? Where is knowledge biologically in the brain? ; alias vsauce vsauce35"
alias "vsauce35" "say What are memories made out of? ; alias vsauce vsauce36"
alias "vsauce36" "say We are a long way from being able to answer that question completely,; alias vsauce vsauce37"
alias "vsauce37" "say but research has shown that memories don't exist in the brain in single locations. ; alias vsauce vsauce38"
alias "vsauce38" "say Instead, what we call a memory is likely made up of many different complex relationships all over the brain,; alias vsauce vsauce39"
alias "vsauce39" "say between lots of brain cells, neurons. ; alias vsauce vsauce40"
alias "vsauce40" "say A major cellular mechanism thought to underlie the formation of memories is long-term potentiation or LTP. ; alias vsauce vsauce41"
alias "vsauce41" "say When one neuron stimulates another neuron repeatedly that signal can be enhanced overtime LTP, ; alias vsauce vsauce42"
alias "vsauce42" "say wiring them more strongly together and that connection can last a long time, even an entire lifetime. ; alias vsauce vsauce43"
alias "vsauce43" "say A collection of different brain cells, ; alias vsauce vsauce44"
alias "vsauce44" "say neurons that fire together in a particular order over and over again frequently and repeatedly; alias vsauce vsauce45"
alias "vsauce45" "say can achieve long-term potentiation,; alias vsauce vsauce46"
alias "vsauce46" "say becoming more sensitive to each other and more ready to fire in the exact same way later on in the future. ; alias vsauce vsauce47"
alias "vsauce47" "say They're a physical thing in your brain, firing together more easily because you strengthen that pattern of firing. ; alias vsauce vsauce48"
alias "vsauce48" "say You memorized.This branching forest of firing friends looks messy, but look closer. It could be the memory of your first kiss. ; alias vsauce vsauce49"
alias "vsauce49" "say A living souvenir of the event. If I were to go into your brain and cut out those cells, ; alias vsauce vsauce50"
alias "vsauce50" "say could I make you forget your first kiss or could I make you forget where your fingers are?; alias vsauce vsauce51"
alias "vsauce51" "say Only if I cut out a lot of your brain. Because memories aren't just stored in one relationship, ; alias vsauce vsauce52"
alias "vsauce52" "say they're stored all over the brain. The events leading up to your first kiss are stored in one network, ; alias vsauce vsauce53"
alias "vsauce53" "say the way it felt to the way it smelled in different networks, ; alias vsauce vsauce54"
alias "vsauce54" "say all added up together making what you call the memory of your first kiss.; alias vsauce vsauce55"
alias "vsauce55" "say How many memories can you fit inside your head? What is the storage capacity of the human brain? ; alias vsauce vsauce56"
alias "vsauce56" "say The best we can do is a rough estimate, ; alias vsauce vsauce57"
alias "vsauce57" "say but given the number of neurons in the brain involved with memory,; alias vsauce vsauce58"
alias "vsauce58" "say and the number of different connections a single neuron can make, ; alias vsauce vsauce59"
alias "vsauce59" "say Paul Reber at Northwestern University estimated that we can store the digital equivalent of about 2.5 petabytes of information.; alias vsauce vsauce60"
alias "vsauce60" "say That's the equivalent of recording a TV channel continuously for 300 years. That's a lot of information. ; alias vsauce vsauce61"
alias "vsauce61" "say That is a lot of information about skills you can do and facts and people you've met, things in the real world.; alias vsauce vsauce62"
alias "vsauce62" "say The world is real, right? How do you know?; alias vsauce vsauce63"
alias "vsauce63" "say It's a difficult question, but it's not rocket science. ; alias vsauce vsauce64"
alias "vsauce64" "say Instead, it is asking whether or not rocket scientists even exist in the first place.; alias vsauce vsauce65"
alias "vsauce65" "say The theory that the Sun moved around the earth worked great. ; alias vsauce vsauce66"
alias "vsauce66" "say It predicted that the Sun would rise every morning and it did. ; alias vsauce vsauce67"
alias "vsauce67" "say It wasn't until later that we realized what we thought was true might not be.; alias vsauce vsauce68"
alias "vsauce68" "say So, do we or will we ever know true reality or are we stuck in a world where the best we can do is be approximately true? ; alias vsauce vsauce69"
alias "vsauce69" "say Discovering more and more useful theories every day but never actually reaching true objective actual reality. ; alias vsauce vsauce70"
alias "vsauce70" "say Can science or reason ever prove convincingly; alias vsauce vsauce71"
alias "vsauce71" "say that your friends and YouTube videos and your fingers actually exist beyond your mind?; alias vsauce vsauce72"
alias "vsauce72" "say That you don't just live in the matrix?; alias vsauce vsauce73"
alias "vsauce73" "say No. Your mind is all that you have, even if you use instruments, like a telescope or particle accelerators. ; alias vsauce vsauce74"
alias "vsauce74" "say The final stop for all of that information is ultimately you. You are alone in your own brain, ; alias vsauce vsauce75"
alias "vsauce75" "say which technically makes it impossible to prove that anything else exists. It's called the egocentric predicament.; alias vsauce vsauce76"
alias "vsauce76" "say Everything you know about the world out there depends on and is created inside your brain. ; alias vsauce vsauce77"
alias "vsauce77" "say This mattered so much to Charles Sanders Peirce that he drew a line between reality, ; alias vsauce vsauce78"
alias "vsauce78" "say the way the universe truly is, and what he called the phaneron, the world as filtered through our senses and bodies,; alias vsauce vsauce79"
alias "vsauce79" "say the only information we can get. ; alias vsauce vsauce80"
alias "vsauce80" "say If you want to speak with certainty you live in, that is you react to and remember and experience your phaneron, not reality.; alias vsauce vsauce81"
alias "vsauce81" "say The belief that only you exist and everything else, food, the universe, ; alias vsauce vsauce82"
alias "vsauce82" "say your friends are all figments of your mind is called solipsism. ; alias vsauce vsauce83"
alias "vsauce83" "say There is no way to convince a solipsist that the outside world is real. ; alias vsauce vsauce84"
alias "vsauce84" "say And there is no way to convince someone who doubts that the universe wasn't created just three seconds ago,; alias vsauce vsauce85"
alias "vsauce85" "say along with all of our memories. It's a frightening realization that we don't always know how to deal with. ; alias vsauce vsauce86"
alias "vsauce86" "say There's even The Matrix defense.; alias vsauce vsauce87"
alias "vsauce87" "say In 2002 Tonda Lynn Ansley shot and killed her landlady. ; alias vsauce vsauce88"
alias "vsauce88" "say She argued that she believed she was in the matrix, that her crimes weren't real. ; alias vsauce vsauce89"
alias "vsauce89" "say By using the matrix defense, she was found not guilty by reason of insanity, ; alias vsauce vsauce90"
alias "vsauce90" "say because the opposite view is just way healthier and common. It's called realism. ; alias vsauce vsauce91"
alias "vsauce91" "say Realism is the belief that the outside world exists independently of your own phaneron. ; alias vsauce vsauce92"
alias "vsauce92" "say Rocks and stars and Thora Birch would continue to exist even if you weren't around to experience them. ; alias vsauce vsauce93"
alias "vsauce93" "say But you cannot know realism is true. All you can do is believe.; alias vsauce vsauce94"
alias "vsauce94" "say Martin Gardner, a great source for math magic tricks, ; alias vsauce vsauce95"
alias "vsauce95" "say explained that he is not a solipsist because realism is just way more convenient and healthy and it works. ; alias vsauce vsauce96"
alias "vsauce96" "say As to whether it bothered him that he could never know realism was true, he wrote, ; alias vsauce vsauce97"
alias "vsauce97" "say 'If you ask me to tell you anything about the nature of what lies beyond the phaneron, ; alias vsauce vsauce98"
alias "vsauce98" "say my answer is how should I know? I'm not dismayed by ultimate mysteries, ; alias vsauce vsauce99"
alias "vsauce99" "say I can no more grasp what is behind such questions as my cat can understand what is behind the clatter I make -; alias vsauce vsauce100"
alias "vsauce100" "say while I type this paragraph.' Humble stuff. What strikes me is the cat.; alias vsauce vsauce101"
alias "vsauce101" "say Cats do not understand keyboards, but they know the keyboards are a fun place to be.; alias vsauce vsauce102"
alias "vsauce102" "say It's a great way to get the attention of a human, they're warm and exciting, ; alias vsauce vsauce103"
alias "vsauce103" "say surrounded by noises and flashing lights plus cats love to get their scent on whatever they can, a mark of their existence.; alias vsauce vsauce104"
alias "vsauce104" "say We aren't that much different, except instead of keyboards we have the mysteries of the universe.; alias vsauce vsauce105"
alias "vsauce105" "say We will never be able to understand all of them.; alias vsauce vsauce106"
alias "vsauce106" "say We won't be able to ever answer every single question, ; alias vsauce vsauce107"
alias "vsauce107" "say but walking around in those questions, exploring them, is fun. It feels good. ; alias vsauce vsauce108"
alias "vsauce108" "say And as always, thanks for watching.; alias vsauce vsauce0"
