Joe makes me feel like I have at least have one friend that likes to talk about things that are interesting to me.

It would be great if you moved stuff around on your shelf, between cuts, just to mess with people.

Fleet intelligence just has a nicer sound to it than "hive mind."

if you break a mirror neuron, it means 7 years of unlucky thinking.

No doubt that this is one of my favorite YT channels ever.

is that why i gained more weight than my wife when she was pregnant?

3:49 The fact that Joe must have spent over 10 minutes animating this monkey makes this video so much better 😂.

My cat is really good at this too, when I'm particularly upset and depressed, he goes quiet and just lays on top of me

AI Programmers better start learning how to incorporate "Mirror Neurons" into their AI -Overlords- Projects!

Joe quote of the year? “Shot to the scrot....” is definitely a contender.

Sometimes when i am baked enough. I can read the minds of everyone in 2 meter radius of me....

Okay, now that Italian sandwich bit was trippy. I happened to be eating one at time of viewing

You would be such an awesome teacher. I have always loved learning, but I genuinely appreciate the way you do these videos. While I'm an "adult" and am constantly taking in information I don't remember half of what I learn. For some reason I really can remember everything from your videos. I've even had my gf and kids watch some of the more interesting videos. Keep it up!!

"who trade sexual favors for food" as if humans dont do that too

Just wanted to point out that symbolism/language is something we can teach to other species. For example, Dogs can learn both the relationship between certain words and actions they're supposed to perform, and also can learn that different objects have different names.

Small note: Autonomous cars dont learn by watching each other, they just have the same brain.

Giacomo Rizzolatti looks like Albert Einstein and Stan Lee's love child.

Truly awed by the videos you create! Thanks!! 🦟🚀🚀🕳

It's 8am, I'm hitting a bong while watching this. And I've never seen the video of a dog petting it's owner. Rewatched it like 4 times. Such a beautiful moment

You and simon with "toptenz" and "today i found out" are my favorite youtubers. I love your open minded approach to science.. Not bashing or throwing "psudeoscience" out and actively trying to work it into accepted theories. Thank you for your time and effort. Your not the average joe. 😅

Love your videos, Joe! Greetings from Portugal!

Very nice, Joe!! Thanks for a great video!

HI JOE!!!! Have a great day and thank you for uploading this. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL and thank you for all of your hard work ☺️🙌🏽

My favorite part of the video is when Joe says love you guys take care

First of all, Thanks! This presentation was my first view. The science, truth, humor, teaching, and important sense considering empathy and symbols are facts. After 42 years as a therapist, these communication techniques are Real. Thanks, Joe!

Awesome video, thanks Joe!

Ah yes, that old yawn that travels all around the room trick. 😄👌

"A shot to the scrote'" is my absolute favorite saying now omfg

I don’t know why but hearing Joe say “a shot to the scrot” (especially after binge watching a bunch of in depth physics videos from this channel) is maybe the best thing I’ve experienced all week. Great video joe!

Great job Joe... Thanks

Hey Joe, I’m going to offer you a free consulting service: whenever you have something related to Italy (names, habits, etc) in your video feel free to drop me an email. The pronunciation of the Italian scientist was horrible 🤣

7:44 Shout out to Tim Roth aka your identical twin.

Informative. Phunny. Cheers!

Informative and enlightening.... Thank YOU....

3:45 Uh... you know that we do that too, right? It's just not smiled upon in most societies.

I think they (...Marvel) need to incorporate this science into the backstory of Taskmaster. It's pretty much his super power.

Thanks for the learning bro

The whole part about telepathy is right up my alley, your humour is on point. The video is super informative aswell really cool.

"Humans are especially empathetic animals..." Man I wish this was more the truth. Feel like much of the world is anything but this. q_q

i literally learned about mirror neurons this morning in a lecture lol

My cat learned how to open doors after enough time. Granted, she doesn't have thumbs or the physical strength to turn the knob, but she has shown that she understands turning the knob is how to open the door. She will stand on her hind legs and reach the door knob and will paw it at in a sideways motion, trying to turn it. She will then cry as if to ask for help. It's adorable and I have started leaving my doors open for her

9:41 I'm impressed that you fit all that in one breath, enunciated it so the words could actually be understood, and still applied an appropriately condescending tone to it 😂😂

Joe: people aren't as likely to signup to have electrodes implanted in their brains. NeuraLink: "Am I a joke to you?"

Awesome video! Thanks!

Another great episode, Joe.👍👍👍

Having a toddler and another one in the wife's oven, I go crazy for cute baby videos just like you did.

I'm not entirely certain. I'm part of an outlier group, neurodiverse people. I'm autistic and my brain isn't set up to function this way. We don't mirror nonverbal communications posture or tone subconsciously. However when it comes to empathy neurodiverse people will often display more empathy that neurotypical people. the difference is that neurodiverse people will often lack the understanding. We won't show empathy to someone who is "obviously upset" because we won't perceive that they are upset. Suggesting that a certain type of empathy is what makes someone truly human is simply incorrect. the-art-of-autism.com/autistic-people-empathy-whats-the-real-story/ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pL6TiJupxN6vYWw.html

Joe you one of the respectable few I have found on YOU TUBE. You arer never verbose. Unless its used as comic relief. I think you may have missed out on your true calling...acting... especially comedic acting. You are naturally funny. Your humor is never over-the-top, or corny, it is somewhat dry and understated...my favorite. I hope you are being compensated for your brains and acting. You guessed it. I was a talent agent for 20 years. Tough job. Now, no one need look further than YOU TUBE fir amazing talent..like you Joe. Enough about you...now im going to talk about me. I wont bore you with all that. So thanks for being there EVERY day. I am DAVID FRYER

Joe your videos are better than ever

A good porn flick can verify this theory.

We're not animals we're SpEciAllll and different from animals, because we can speak and think.

I have been sitting in this hotel room for 6 days.. Alone.. Havent said a word out loud in days.. I repeated the words "Shot to the scrot" .. I love the channel! Thank you for everything!!

Reminds me of a study done with fire walkers, they tracked the heartbeats of the firewalkers and their onlookers. Siblings and spouses would actually synchronize heartbeats with the firewalker as they went through the performance.

I've seen elephants draw pictures of things..

Humans! The favorite subject of...humans! ;)

As an Italian, I'm flattered by the "italian-hand-gesture" you did when saying the name of Giacomo Rizzolati... Beautiful...

Loved your cameo on Tim Schmoyers video today!

Zarlon-8, I think you meant... the peeps on Zarlon-6 told me those f^÷&wits on Zarlon-7 couldn't find their evacuation-tubules with all seven of their tentacle-tips. ;)

You are behind the times, Dr. Snark. Last week even the US Navy officially admitted the flying objects they videotaped are unidentified.

Good one, Joe

I friggen love you Joe! Thanks for all the wonderful content! Have a safe and sane day after election day

I saw a video the other day of an elephant painting a picture of a Family of elephants in trees...so we aren't the only ones ;)

Joe is there something you are not telling us?? Are you preparing yourself to become a Father??

Love brain stuff thanks for the video!

Amazing videos. One of the best channels on youtube. Can you do a video on proton therapy?

Something interesting is how anime can conjur the same feelings as live action.

My mirror neurons just tell me how dumb I am compared to everyone else.

I enjoyed your wholesome segment this week.

Great video joe !! Shoutout from north TX:D

Wait, you mean marijuana doesn't cure everything?

As an individual with Autism, I can say that I personally had to learn how to read nonverbal and vocal cues. The way I like to put it is that while most people had this skill pre-installed, I had to code it myself, or have some help coding it. No idea on the mirror neurons, but I did have difficulty learning things like dancing and martial arts even if I love both.

Such a great show!!

There is also a condition called Mirror-touch synesthesia. Individuals with this condition are able to feel the same sensations as the people they are seeing, including pain. Enhanced activity of the mirror neurons could be the cause of such a condition.

I love you Joe!

I love the little jokes you add in these videos, they are never obtrusive to the content and it always makes me laugh😂 it’s the little things like that that show us that you love what you do and it makes it 100x more entertaining. Thank you

mirror neurons are really interesting! joe you make science so much fun I love your video's! keep up the good work

You are the best!

I was sad about the monkey experimenting mentioned at the beginning, but those adorable dad clips at the end made me smile 😊🥰

I felt like I read my son's mind in my dreams and when I confronted him over the matter he agreed and we were mind-boggled by this experience, also other times I've read his mind when he was present too..so we practice this weird phenomenon.

*"if its worth doing - its worth overdoing"* ... my new motto

Great video, very interesting.

Hi Joe ! Thank you for the exquisite quality videos ! I was wondering if you could make a video on telepathy

I love you too, Joe!

Mirroring works. Over three decades in corporate USA - I learned it my first five years. What also works is a controlled demeanor, say less than everyone - speak when it is time.

I realized my suceptability to mirror neurons decades ago, and I have said I have a reflective personality. Naturally I have learned to filter what I expose myself to

Awesome again!

Interesting subject!

You should check out Elaine Aaron’s book and research on the HSP. These people have supercharged mirror neurons. Anyhow, the highly sensitive person is hard to live with but will see things others can’t. Interesting.

3:50 I'm in love with the monkey on the left! 😀

joe is the type who would listen to you talk about your interests for hours, then go home and research it to have more to talk to you about. we all need a joe

Great video!

I got a weird story, for you. While walking down a sidewalk, VERY early in the morning, on the edge of a BIG parking lot, I made friends with a local kitty cat. I had seen the cat for a long time, and it finally let me pet it. We were far from the residential area (where all the other kitty cats "hang out".) I had some potato chips with me, and so I gave My New Friend some of my potato chips. Across the remainder of the week, along the same street, about 3 blocks away, whenever I would go out early in the morning to get some munchies, the cats over in the Residential Area would come up to me and "motion" like they were waiting for me to throw some potato chips on the ground (even if I didn't have any potato chips with me, yet.) It was as if the cat that I "made friends with" mysteriously "told" all the OTHER cats something like "Hey! He's the guy who hands out potato chips!" Do domestic House Cats have their own version of the 'Hundredth Monkey effect' ? See . . . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundredth_monkey_effect

Some great and witty comments below from very clever people :) Thumbs up to you as well as Joe

Hey Joe! You made a vid on mirror neurons, mentioned V.S. Ramashandran, and did not cover mirror therapy for amputees. It’s possibly the coolest application of this theory ever!!

Really good episode. I was making that same face at all the babies being adorable lol

Joe, You think mirror neurons are interesting, check out human empaths. In this paradigm there are three classifications of humans, 80% are everybody else, 20% are sensitive otherwise called HSPs/highly sensitive people or sensory processing sensitivity, the third classification are empaths. Empaths feel energy and emotions from people and places. They also experience feeling pain from others, and exhaustion from others. All this without even necessarily knowing the source of their experience is presents. The phenomenon is entirely energetic, empaths have these experiences without empirically knowing how another person is feeling. It would be awesome if you were to do a deep dive on this subject and make a related video.

I was just thinking about this yesterday when my mom yawned thank you!

Joe, can't decide if I enjoy your science or your comedy more!
