Explaining the story behind the most interesting linguistic theories, artifacts, and languages.
This completes the cognitive science iceberg trilogy alongside my philosophy and psychology icebergs.

I think to hampers one to speak your own language in school is extremely hard to accept.
It's the same as the low and high prestige fenomenon which have happened and still happens today in many countries.
We don't live in tribe anymore. So if your mind just cares about your relatives, it's time to move on.
If there are many people complaining about racism. If many people complains about sexual prejudice or racial prejudice against Asian English people. It's not only one person, it's the whole society of one country. It's a real problem.
If we don't learn to put on someones' shoes, your community is not well adapted.
Or you may choose to live in your tribe and don't get many good opportunities abroad.
Marmelade is really from marmelada in Portuguese. Marmelo is a kind of tree.
People invents explanations without any logic reason. 🤦♂️
Men, you dont have a equivalent for saudade, interesting…
23:23 I don't know why in Portuguese is infinitely harder to read than in English… And my first language is Portuguese, so that's not it.
When a country doesnt allow others to prove the validity of something, assume its a hoax
1:07:44 turkish has this as well! "wolf" actually is "börü" in old turkish but turks were (and still kinda are) very superstitious, so they decided to call the animal by the name of another tiny and harmless animal: "kurt". the animal that we're referring to here is worm/maggot. we are still calling wolves "kurt" to this day lol
You missed words like "Waldeinsamkeit" "Weltschmerz, … at 17:40. While it's not impossible to explain their meaning, I know of no single word in English for them.
Dude, I think your admiration of Chomsky's work in linguistics has bled over into a fandom of Chomsky's ideology/world view… using AAV (which literally came about due to historic oppression in the United states) as some sort of apologetic yardstick for critical thinking measurement is some wild mental gymnastics. So is the romanticization of that group of modern technologically-primitive people that never developed a sophisticated numeric/counting system…lol like what? That's a massive hinderence to a society. Viewing it in any other way is at best condescending and at worst, it's delusional.
I don't know if you're intentionally gaslighting or if you're truly this blissfully naive.
Also, the sentence "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" is only meaningless if you're interpretating each word in a mono literal sense. The whole "buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo…" sentence proves this…
Try to have a consistent linguistic evaluation/critique system.
Lol "Joe Rogan vaguely scientific sounding" and at the same time "He be working out" is a positive measurement for critical thinking skills 😆
Lol this vid is ideologically corrupted…
Chomsky became a linguistic expert and pioneer so he could smuggle in Marxist ideas. Which, ya know, props to him bc that's the most arduous and effective way to do it. Lazy Marxists just smuggled the ideas in w/ postmodernism.
A major part of enjoying a sport/game is knowing what the score is…not knowing the score actually diminishes the excitement more than anything…
An example of Newspeak is the idea that "Eskimo" is somehow a perjorative lol
from now on, i will refer jupiter as PIE sky daddy
You forgot to mention we also call gay people blue in Russian (goluboy)!!!
55:04 it comes from a polish comedy about WW2!
This video is peak 25 year old thinker material
continually disappointed that only once can i like this video
The whistling language also exist in the atlas mountains of Morocco. They intonate those whistles to sound like amazigh, the native's language. Natives of the Canary islands were also Amazigh.
uhm definitely needed some sort of trigger warning before tHE ETYMOLOGY OF OK IS UNKNOWN?????
