Added 2019-03-17 13:31:28 +0000 UTCConsciousness is perhaps the biggest riddle in nature. In the first part of this three part video series, we explore the origins of consciousness and take a closer look on how unaware things became aware.

Consciousness is a complex subject indeed

2019-04-13 12:37:37 +0000 UTCScience is science - these aren't opinion pieces that can be skewed. If we can accept reality, we can help lead others there.

2019-04-12 02:45:35 +0000 UTCI think that political biases should be underneath of our opinion about something as Kurzgesagt. Their content is, in their best efforts, neutral and adopt a pure willingness on science and facts, without a political agenda or religious and prejudice influences. Keep up the good work guys!

2019-04-03 13:49:56 +0000 UTCWhat's wrong with that? If an organization, whatever their beliefs, finds Kurzgesagt videos to be interesting and worth donation, what's the harm in accepting said donation? Unless you can demonstrate that they are influencing the content, what's the harm?

2019-03-30 16:11:12 +0000 UTCHi. I'm reducing--but not eliminating--my donation because you've chosen to accept money from the right-wing Templeton Foundation. Accept it a second time and I'll end my donations forever.

2019-03-26 23:57:44 +0000 UTCLol your videos have some funny animation to highlight complex topics. I already support you guys but wish I could do more. I tell people about your videos and show kids some of your videos all the time. I love how education is very important to you and I very much appreciate the hard work you all put into these videos.

2019-03-25 12:59:15 +0000 UTCAwesome video on a topic I've been wondering about for a long time :) was also wondering if you're going to release any new wallpaper graphics to go alongside it? x

2019-03-23 22:50:35 +0000 UTCNo worries! We considered very carefully who we work with and I can report that so far they have been great partners! Religion never came up once in the 2-3 years we have been talking with them. And we have a contract that states that we have 100% control. Even if none of that were true, we have more offers for sponsorships than videos (but we also still want to have videos that are not sponsored at all, like the Loneliness video), so we are do not rely on any single sponsor.
Kurzgesagt β In a Nutshell
2019-03-21 09:51:37 +0000 UTCWhoa! you really opened another dimension to users with sites.google.com! This is why it is worth patreoning you, because you make serious effort for your videos and sources. Thanks again for your videos

2019-03-18 17:34:34 +0000 UTCI am glad to know. Contributions that help Kurzgesagt to maintain its excellent work are welcome. This is the reason why I became patreon.

2019-03-17 19:16:42 +0000 UTCcan u guys look into this one while doing your research? <a href="http://www.robertlanzabiocentrism.com/is-death-an-illusion-evidence-suggests-death-isnt-the-end/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.robertlanzabiocentrism.com/is-death-an-illusion-evidence-suggests-death-isnt-the-end/</a> is it a scam ?

2019-03-17 17:30:35 +0000 UTCIt kinda reminded me of Spore. and that made me feel sad. but video itself was on that "just right" quality

2019-03-17 16:09:26 +0000 UTCNow I had to google, whether there is a Dugesia Tigrina plush.. because the funny face is too adorable. It reminds me of the giant plush microbes :D

2019-03-17 16:02:10 +0000 UTCKurzgesagt clearly states that it is NOT reflecting the views of the Templeton foundation but rather the views of multiple scientists, books and other sources referred to by them.
Onkar Kulkarni
2019-03-17 15:55:20 +0000 UTCWhy emphasizing eyes and visualization in brains? Other sensory inputs seem to be sufficient. Replacing eyes and see with corresponding sensors and acts in the video still, make perfect sense As simple as current artificial intelligent without eyes can perform planning too. Visualization is not needed.

2019-03-17 15:22:04 +0000 UTCI really enjoy the philosophical parts of all your materials.

2019-03-17 15:00:29 +0000 UTCThe Templeton foundation has been criticized for supporting Christian-oriented research. I hope that Kurzgesagt does not loose the focus on science.

2019-03-17 13:46:51 +0000 UTCI just watched the video. Not my favourite of yours (the Fermi Paradox is the best) but still a really good one.
