But this clearly shows why the arts are just as important and wonderful in an intangible sense. In the end, the field really is irrelevant. Human intelligence is so malleable that it can be applied to a variety of avenues ranging from software engineering to stand-up comedy.

electrotrolha Religions stem from origin theory which, by its nature, cannot be further reveled through evidence. Nothing existed at the start so we have nothing to go on but what we have now. Atheists and most any religion share that quality of faith in something without proof. The Big Bang theory (or those similar in goal) are ideas of what we think could be the origin but there is no evidence directly suggesting it. Scientists have faith in their origins just as a Catholic would theirs. I can agree with the rest of your comment.
@electrotrolha10 жыл бұрын
Judg3m3nt well, the fact people belive in the big bag is not just because of faith, there are some observable events that support the theory (even tho i think we know way to little to explain something so major like the origin of everything) like for example the expantion of the universe. its not the same thing with religion, scientists need something observable and measurable to speculate on, like how the universe seams to be expanding.everything starts with something you see and from then on yes, theories are formed. with god its the other way around a theory is formed for something you cant observe or measure, thats why its fathe and not a theory.
@Judg3m3nt10 жыл бұрын
electrotrolha My point is that the expansion theory fails as an origin theory because it starts with nothing. Even the addition of "formless matter" is not really fixing the problem. So scientists are exhibiting faith that their guess is right. I suggest that their beliefs are faith because in a scholastic environment, these things are presented as fact. I don't see how that situation would be different than if someone took a bible in and said that a diving being started everything, aside from the fact that it doesn't observe the slow expansion of matter. I am simply pointing out that this idea that only traditional religions utilize faith to any extent is incorrect. Modern Scientists try to use observable evidence where it exists but they still rely on faith in their theories when it comes to this topic.

Oh my god! Stephen's story about the Whale Song blackout scene reminds me of a time I did pretty much the exact same thing! It was during a family vacation, we were going on a road trip and we had to take two cars to fit everyone and our stuff. As this was back before cell phones became common products, we bought walkie talkies so we could communicate between cars. We treated the walkie talkies like toys for most of the trip, simply telling jokes back and forth to one another, so I was trying to think of a way of One Upping my sisters. So then suddenly I was struck by inspiration, picked up the walkie talkie, and in my best female radio DJ voice said: "And now for your listening pleasure, I present to you: Songs of the Whale." Then preceded to make whaling, clicking noises for a minute. Unbeknownst to me in the other car, everyone was losing their minds with laughter, and the Songs of the Whale bit turned into a running gag in family events for a long time.

Steve Schroth It's not much to ask for this type of thinking to be common. Since it isn't common, people like myself waste our time beginning to think in such a way, because it takes a genius to do so. That's how shut off people are. A genius is simply someone who can rise above being petty minded. Our reference points are all down low.

The perfect counter-slogan to Trump... America has always been great. Colbert for president 2020!!!

Good for you Google, a very insightful interview into the man and the character of Stephen Colbert. Enjoyed it.

Host: "Your book is on Google Play-" Stephen: "What does that mean?!" I love this guy. SC, has the sense of confidence that only good parenting, sibling support and common sense (stop browbeating yourselves mentally) can develop. He's a gem in the sand...

This was really funny. Stephen Colbert was hilarious and Eric Schmidt did a good job handling him :)

I only recently read this book and it made me realise how much I miss the Colbert Report. Luckily I came across this. He's not in character explicitly but he jumps across enough to make it like the show was: funny, heart warming, and always on the mark with observations about himself and events around him.

30:30 YES! Bruce Lee reference! And what an appropriate one at that. And you could tell it was way over the interviewer's and much of the audience's heads.

It's wild that I've been a fan of this interview for a very long time, and somehow in 2020, Sarah Cooper was able to add herself to this talk! Congrats Google for hiring the best and brightest.

Colbert description of Stephen Colbert the character is basically a description of Donald Trump. "He's a well-intentioned, poorly informed, high status idiot...unbelievably-self important...thinks he belongs everywhere....thin-skinned..." Brilliant!

Actually, he ripped it off of Ronald Reagan. It was Reagan's slogan, Trump just stole it and never acknowledged he didn't come up with something so smart.

What the other guy said. Trump certainly ripped somebody off because he's too fucking stupid to walk and breathe at the same time, but it wasn't Colbert.

America is great, but the thing is, it shouldn't be great by comparison, it should be great on ideals that are conceived over the best way democracy a government and society should be formed. Not saying, - "Hey still the best country on the planet right?"

Contrary to some folks in the media's assertion, there is at least one right wing conservative who thinks Colbert and his conservative parody are funny. Sure, in real life he is a lefty, but I think he is smart and I can appreciate parody even if me and mine are the targets

Yes, he was very funny at this time, it seems that the Trump era destroyed his sense of humor. It's the same with many comedians.

The first time I ever heard about Stephen Cobert was when I saw his book in the bargain bin. It was I AM AMERICA and YOU CAN, TOO.
