It's not fair that some people are blessed with the ability to come up with things like "Beanut Putter" on the spot

He’s started his epistemology arc poggers

"Language is just social chemistry bro" will be hard to forget

I think the mental stimulation from the Cine2Nerdle Battles content has unlocked his galaxy brain era. He's ascending right before our eyes.

"I know that space and time are bedfellows" is such a banger line lmao

I think it says something about me that I was cry laughing when he said “Beanut Putter”. Truly one of the NL bits of all time

“Where was it bangin’, bro??” is truly one of life’s great questions; thank you for such a pithy summation, NL.

i don't get people who say they hate philosophical discussions, this video was entertaining as hell

You can just tell NL would have argued for the existence of ether

beanut putter actually had me cry laughing

3:03 the chatter describing tidally-locked planets as "kinda homoerotic, no?" was a genius before their time

As a philosophy student who studied the philosophy of language for multiple semesteres, NL is SO RIGHT in the beginning. Language do be going crazy

bro smoked too much off the wittgenstein pipe

"Where did it bang bro?" truly is one of the shower thoughts of all time

holy shit the caveman heaven bit is the best thing he's come up with

the trash taste part jumpscared me

somehow i've never seen the back of his head

NL using "rotates" instead of "revolves" when explaining the moon going around the earth might be part of why he got confused by the concept of tidal lock. He's using the same term for two different things, mixing them up, then getting lost in it.

"There's no such thing as tilt"... Flatlanders try League of Legends

@ 0:24 "I'm not the right guy to have this conversation." Continues conversation for 13 minutes

He should do some reading on linguistic semantics.

The universe might be "in" something, but there is a boundary information cannot pass through (not out, according to our theories of spacetime, and not in, according to a 2011 paper on hidden variable theory). There's some topological issues with simply reducing dimension, but you can think of the observable universe as being the surface of a ball. Our universe's spacetime is the surface of the ball. As a surface, the spacetime has no boundary. It is a 2d manifold which can be embedded in 3d space. For contrast, a sheet of paper is also a 2d manifold which can be embedded in 3d space, but a sheet of paper has a boundary (the edges of the sheet). But if you consider the whole ball, not just the surface, (this has no meaning as a spacetime for our purposes) the surface of the ball IS the boundary. It is meaningful to discuss the "exterior" and "interior". It is from this perspective that I say our universe might be "in" something. But again, this whole ball is NOT meaningful for our conception of a spacetime. ALL we have is the surface of the ball. With only this surface, there is no exterior or interior. It is effectively not "in" anything, as far as our model (a spacetime) is concerned

Bro really just intuited the infinite generativity of language. Based and Chomsky pilled

my favorite Silver Jews lyric is "How is there a ball of somethin in.... nothin"

If Ryan wants an intro to thought and language, the Stanford YT channel has a full class called Human Behavioral Biology from Dr. Robert Sapolsky that was literally life changing for me to watch

Re big bang: Despite the name ( fun fact the name was making fun of then hypothesis ) is was not an explosion - it was the rapid expansion of space. Therefore it doesn't need to be "in" anything it can be everything "compressed" to a single point. In the cyclical hypothesis the space is compressed again into the single point - it isn't just the "stuff" that is compressed - so again it doen't have to be "in" anything. I don't know if that helps in any way in comprehension of the lack of need for the compressed universe to be in anything but now all questions of "but it has to be in something" can be met with a recursive paradox of "but what is the thing that the universe is in in?" etc. etc.

Egg Nye The Bald Guy

"Where was it bangin, bro!?" Existential anger is tough

beanut putter is literally my roman empire

This is like the fifth video with this title already. He'll get an honours degree in Theoretical Physics if he just keeps contemplating.

My top 3 Genres of NL: 1. Cine2Nerdle NL 2. Philosophical NL 3. Misogynist NL ❤

SAP is a great lubricant for banter. It's like Mario for squeex

This NL guy doesn’t know about the rampant acceleration of expansion due to the positive energy density ICANT

honestly the idea rant was so on the nail, its crazy

asking myself "we do ideas come from" is the quickest way to an existential crisis

Maybe that guy in the end clip was thinking of lake chargogagogmanchaugagogchaubunagungamaug

The gas leak is really getting to him

Northernlion is really cooking here. For anyone wondering about the "what was the big bang in?" Bit, there's essentially no way to tell beyond the starting conditions of the universe what was really "out there", all we can really say is that it was the most energetic event literally ever. Since we essentially just see the surface of an expanding balloon (or carpet/donut) we can't look outside or inside the balloon just what's in the rubber, the rubber being the universe.

Brother I had this exact thought about language going to sleep last night the timing of this is crazy

He really cooked with this one.

NL would love Flatland, he should read it

This was a great one lmao

Still thinking about Beanut Putter

trash taste jumpscare

There's a theory that the universe is just a huge black hole, which is why we can't see the edge and it keeps expanding. Also the big bang would make sense creating the black hole by supernova of a coplapsing star.

im not proud to admit it, but beanut putter actually killed me

I think of language as our operating system

NL’s reading Hegel before the stream again

You dont have to navigate by the stars just walk in a direction lol

i was on a cruise trip for 10 days with no internet and my brain literally became obsessed with what came before the big bang, except i have zero knowledge at all about it so then i just had a mental breakdown

I got insane whiplash when it swapped to trash taste, I thought I clicked off the video

Trash Taste jumpscare let's go

bro was joking about going to church as a social thing and now he's finding out that you need an uncaused cause

neurons be zoomin

NOOO NL DONT HIT THE Sapir-Whorf hypothesis BLUNT!!!

spongebob roundpants u saved my life

My understanding is that we can't say if the big bang was the start of everything, just that we don't have meaningful information (photons) from before the big bang because universe was too dense for photons to escape. We can't just take a look. There's a different mental breakdown to unpack there but I think it's easier to wrap your head around than the "expanded in _what"_ line of thought when you don't need to invent space and time from scratch (yet).

Beanut Putter goes pretty hard ngl

he was cookin

spongebob roundpants

The world beyond the egg shell

Pretty sure "cavemen" already figured out cooking As cavemen generally are thought of as humans already and the evolution of our brains needed cooked food Basically a more efficient way of getting nutrient was needed for our brains to grow and sustain it

universe backshots

so true ryan

smn should tell nl to read the Wiki article of the delayed choice quantum eraser test. His reaction would be too funny I think.

Maybe it's just my programming background but I can only imagine the universe as a giant Rube Goldberg machine that's just running its algorithmic course based on predefined starting parameters, endlessly iterating with minor variations to those parameters. Just a big physics simulation. And this stimulation is nested in another simulation, and it's just simulations all the way down, like when you point a mirror at a mirror. And the limitations of our understanding of physics is all a symptom of our layer of simulation being an an imperfect approximation of the next layer higher, with our resolution only reaching the atomic level. There is no before or after, but maybe it actually loops back around on itself somehow, like an extradimensional ouroboros.

WALES MENTION!!!!!!!

This was sooo good

Simultaneously the smartest and dumbest streamer

Beanut Putter is so yummy 😩😩

WHAT WAS THE BIG BANGIN????

Redditor starts finally understand that before the modern era, people didn't have ludicrous ideas like expanding universe, they just had a nice, clean one

the aliens was themselves

He really does just peepotalk all day, huh?

NL should check out wittgenstein .

Hey librarian thanks for the vid

The meta-irony of NL ignoring the reference to Westworld at 1:40

I mean wouldn’t that be because all of the things are already thoughts you have and they just connect the pathways in a certain way so it makes sense to you

To whom was Aquaman

I love how the beginning of the universe can break your brain in like 100 different ways For NL, its where was it bangin For me, its what was before the start? Lets say the universe is infinitely expanding and contracting elasticity over and over, sure. When was the first expansion? Why. What happened before that? How long did "nothing" exist before the everything existed and bigged its bang everywhere?

When the construction of language evolved me as a intelligent individual being capable of original thought: 🧑‍💻 🐦 X -> 😡🤬

Scientists themselves aren't against the idea that basically Existence has always existed and I just roll with that belief tbh.

He is reading hegel now?

librarian, I am on my hands and knees asking you for assistance here. where is the song clip you used in the outro of this video from?

Pog

Where do it be bangin tho?

Someone NEEDS to introduce this mf to Membrane Theory

lol

Nothing in this universe existed before the big bang, not even time. There was no "before the big bang." There was no vacuum for it to exist in because it was the start of existence. IMO these are things we have to just accept, because as much as one tries, I don't think the human mind is capable of perceiving/comprehending true nothingness (which I also think is the reason death scares the shit out of a lot of us).

As I understand it (and I have no formal background in this), the very idea of there being a start or an end to the universe is also a human concept. There is no 'inherent' reason for the Big Bang cycle to have had a start of some sort (if that's even the universe start hypothesis that turns out to be proven correct). It's just like how there's no reason 'why' the universe exists, it just does. Trying to bind it into human constraints like a beginning or an end is probably what's tripping NL up in this video. Of course, science could end up finding that there was a beginning of some sort, but until there's some reason to think so (and currently there isn't) I'm sticking with the view that 'the Big Bang just happened because it happened and there was probably nothing before it'. Hope y'all have a wonderful week! : )

the guy pointing at the map at the end wasn't pointing at Wales though

flatland bro ex nihilo bro

I love you Librarian but why did I have to watch trash taste content without consent. joking but that threw me off I thought it auto played

i dont get why he doesnt get it, the big bang didn't make space it happened in space this theory might not be right but it does explain the phenomenon of why the big bang had the ability to happen

the short answer is antimatter and anti gravity exponentially expanding the vacuum of space

Brain cooks up ideas independently of language. For a majority of people, it automatically translates these ideas into language and they have a "narrating voice" in their heads that is their stream of conscioussness (or so I'm told). A minority of people that I'm a part of don't have this auto translation, which has its pros and cons. Coming up with a coding idea that takes 12 sentences to explain? That seems kinda normal to me. But coming up with a rhyme or a clever pun on the spot is incredibly hard for me. Rap battles are sorcery to me.

language is not the basis of structuring thought. the opposite is however.

I’m looking forward to the day that NL and trash taste cross path…

Coming from Jerma, I appreciate NL's actually sensical existential crisis, as opposed to when jerma's edibles kick in and the most complex question he can ask is "WHAT THE HELL IS AMETHYST!? HOW DO I EXPLAIN THIS TO ALIENS WHEN THEY COME TO ME, THE AMBASSADOR OF HUMANS!?!?!" So instead of half-assedly regurgitating a joke from the clip, i'll dump some random thoughts also; time does not exist, it's just that in no language ever has there been a way to talk without time in mind, if you remove all past-present-future stuff you straight up cannot speak. time is ever-present and so we live in its dimension, just like how a pixel lives in a 2D world but probs sees in 1D and cannot comprehend how to draw 2D as it (the pixel) must be 3D in order to be far away enough to perceive the 2D board in the first place. We interact with 3D and speak with time in mind always but cannot comprehend the idea of time not mattering as we can't perceive everything happening at once, nor find it possible to live in, at least. And as for the cavemen, Only about a millenia ago, people figured out to take note of what they did before messing about and figuring out and sharing that note with people, prior to it, there ofcourse were the trial&error alchemists, but even prior to that we had dark age cavemen who invented stuff maybe millions of years ago but kept it all to themselves. There were cavemen who probably correlate lightning striking a tree to the entire forest catching fire into wood being flammable, then figuring out rubbing their hands create warmth and use that knowledge to combine any and all sources of warmth with wood to invent the first bonfire; however just like how NL wouldn't sail 35 years to hawaii for a place uncertain, why the hell would Ooga, the inventor of fire, drop everything to try and teach that to anyone else. Anything that happened then was invented from scratch every time, perhaps some cavemen just didn't have as-flammable wood, perhaps some cavemen didnt have as tough animals to need rocks to kill, some cavemen weren't smart enough to understand glowy super-warm honey would perhaps burn them alive, some weren't perceptive enough to correlate all the hints. It was only a matter of time before communities became large enough where you had to share the info for everyone to understand it or be able to use it in their unique location... so on so forth.
