Всемирно известный физик Ричард Фейнман отлично расшифровывает обсуждения в инопланетном Reddit, возможно, и говорит о марсианах, когда вы спите.
World renowned physicist Richard Feynman perfectly decodes the discussions in alien reddit possibly and talks about martians when you sleep.

Funny. As the video cuts off, seems like he was building up to something that i find existentially dreadful. And thats the fact that we speak about rest as if we know what it is. But nothings at rest and we’ve never experienced rest. Not on your day off, not at night in your bed, not on vacation or in death. You’re just always on in your experience or reality tunnel.

It sounds like at the start he’s talking about a point in general semantics, the philosophy of language, ‘the word is not the thing’.
Richard Feynman talks about aliens when I sleep? Huh til.
Can anyone translate the title to me? It’s gibberish.
I’m a little confused
Anyone know where this is from or have the rest of it?

I’d like to hear the end of that thought/anecdote
Bizarre topic title and oddly framed video where it starts too early and ends too early. 2/10 topic here
Hey OP, can you tell us what?
Tell me there’s a full version of this somewhere…
Bad bot! this isnt relevant to the sub at all.
Oh
I don’t know why but watching this somehow makes me think of Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting. I wish there was more I could say about any of it but this is what I’m left with in the end

But everyone here knows what they know and knows what they really don’t know and even know what others don’t know but think they know.
When I first watched this video, those bird names sounded like gibberish to me, but I did some research anyway, just to be sure, cause I was curious and couldn’t sleep.
So, I found out there is the Black-throated thrush (DE: Schwarzkehldrossel, ZH: 喉黒鶫 hēi jǐng dōng, JA: ノドゴロツグミnodogurotsugumi).
and the Brown-headed thrush (DE: Japandrossel, ZH: 赤胸鶇 chì xiōng dōng, JA: アカハラ Akahara).
but no «Brown-throated thrush». But then again, it could have simply been a misremembered name, since many birds have similar names, and there are A LOT of them (for example, just Wikipedia’s «List of birds by common name» counts 10,976 elements).
Also, in another speech from 1966, very similar to this one (here’s the full transcript:http://www.fotuva.org/feynman/what_is_science.html) Feynman makes the same example, this time calling the Brown-throated thrush «halsenflugel» in German and «chung ling» in Chinese. Other invented names apparently.
Maybe just to make us understand how useless names are if one has no idea of what they refer to in the first place.
As interesting as Richard Feynman is, (he is my favorite physicist) he is only speaking of martians as part of a thought experiment and not any any terms of them being something real.
This isn’t actually about aliens.
The only tenuous connection I can make to the title is maybe OP is saying we reddit spends too much time talking about what things are called instead of what they are? Like is something a balloon or an alien ship. IDK but it doesn’t track — because when you have no access to details nomenclature serves as a description until you have more info.
That being said who else finds it funny that Feynman proceeds to name off, in multiple languages, the name for a bird then go on to say he never learns the name of anything? Kinds cheeky lol.
I thought this was bob odenkirk
Weird for here but worth it. Glad that Ii saw this somewhere.
Whatever he muttered for the Chinese and Japanese names of that bird didn’t sound like Chinese nor Japanese. His «Japanese» term for that bird sounds like traditional Mongolian throat clearing.

Lawd he was an amazing human.
This guy would be a right wing kook today! Question science?
This guy is full of shit
As a german, i ask myself what a „flügnflögl“ could be…
«If redditors could think coherently, they’d be very upset»
Omg what a weird way to think, very fucking interesting though
I like to say «My name is my name but my name isn’t what I’m is.» Obviously it’s worded funny but it’s what I say to my kids. And what was said to me once at a time of great stress.

In German it’s a Schwarzkehldrossel. It doesn’t take away from the point — and I get that this was a simpler time — but it would have aged better had he used the correct terms, and not just terms that sound like they’re from the origin languages stated.
I absolutely _love_ Feynman though, let’s get that right.
Jack Nicholson does physics?
Guy looks like Saul Goodman
«Talks about Martians when you sleep» is a bit misleading.. He’s talking about an approach he takes to research. He imagines he’s an alien or martian in this case, seeing everyday human things for the first time. It helps remove any predispositions or biases you might have.
In his book, Surely You’re Joking, Mr Feynman, he explains this sleep research. I haven’t seen the rest of this clip, but in his book, he claims to be able to lucid dream at will… as long as he doesn’t allow himself to fall into a deep sleep. He applied the «Martian» approach to this.
