New Video out soon, we'd love your feedback!
Added 2024-06-24 08:23:27 +0000 UTCWhy do people prefer more pain? Whilst we work on the finishing touches before this video goes out, we would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
Thank you!

The last 2 minutes are great! Being at the end, they completely made me forget that I had been thinking about all the presented averages, which were quite close to each other, and no standard deviations or error bars, making the averages almost meaningless. Of course, The experiments were small samples, so ALL the statistics have less meaning than the presentation lends them.

2024-06-25 12:09:38 +0000 UTCA couple of things: I think most people interpret the bank teller question to mean, is she more likely to be a bank teller *and not a feminist* or to be a bank teller and a feminist. Because I thought the question was going to be "is she more likely to be a bank teller or a social worker?" But once you find out she's a bank teller either way, the question becomes interpreted as "is she more likely to be a feminist or not?" as you've essentially established that she is a bank teller, and that's not even relevant to the question. Even though a careful, precise reading of the question reveals that, in fact, "she is not a bank teller" is a third, not-presented option, by phrasing the question that way, it's presented as not an option. As for the berries, and this is similar to fruit in general (see: tomatoes), I reason that there are what biology classifies as berries and fruits, and what cuisine classifies as berries and fruits. It's not *wrong* to call an eggplant a vegetable; it's that when classifying it for culinary purposes, it fits better there. The same terms are used in different contexts. Oh, and I've heard of this colonoscopy study before! I was going to mention it, but I was pretty sure you would!

2024-06-24 20:05:21 +0000 UTCIn case an explanation of 13C doesn't make it in, here's a ditty that the British came up with when converting to SI. "Zero is freezing, 10 is not, 20 is warm and 30 is hot.) 13C is about 55F, so that sits pretty well between "not freezing" and "not particularly warm". If you took a shower with water at that temperature, you'd definitely be shivering.

2024-06-24 14:17:38 +0000 UTCCertain graphics and the text of the study papers have this floaty, almost-Brownian motion. I find it distracting and it makes the video less enjoyable for me. At 4:50 the pain/more pain graphic implies a fire is happening (embers flying & crackling sound). Since the experiment is related to cold, that seems like a strange juxtaposition / transition. I love the advice to optimize for the peak and end. Pretty tragic that so many older people have lives that end in loneliness and dispare. Imagine if society collectively optimized aging for the peak and end too.

2024-06-24 14:08:32 +0000 UTCI teach strenuous group exercise classes. The last few minutes for the cooldown are usually set to excellent music accompanied by enjoyable stretching moves. Now I know why that works so well to encourage participants to return. To add value to this excellent video, you might add more examples like this. The example at the end of getting a sucker to finish a doctor’s visit brought back surprising memories for me. I would watch the video longer if there were even more examples of how this principle is applied in different ways that we perhaps don’t even realize.

2024-06-24 10:57:51 +0000 UTCGood thoughts for optimization. Suggestion: Provide an example of what 13C feels like for us Americans who are not used to the feel of it. Ex: Showing an ice cube and a hot tub on the thermometer in the animations. Side Note: This video made me think about the effects of talk therapy in the presence of someone who is empathetic and can be with the individual as they talk through their troubles. The unpleasant memory is dug up, re-experienced (to an extent), but then the feelings of the present (that is, being with the person who is listening) are stacked on top of the re-experience before it is written back to memory, resulting in a modified perception of the original experience.

2024-06-24 10:57:29 +0000 UTCThe audio level change at 0:33 feels a bit much, and maybe the Game of Thrones example felt a bit too specific (never seen the show so can't relate to it much, but it's understandable). Overall it's a really interesting video as always.
