Neil deGrasse Tyson describes the absuridity of “intelligent design”. Sorry folks, the universe was not designed for us. Accept it, we’re nothing special.

Intelligent Design was created by Unintelligent people……….so its the unintelligent theory of intelligent design……..love it…..
Entertainment complex in the middle of a sewage system! That’s beyond hilarious! No wonder this guy is Stephen Colbert’s most recurring guest. He’s brilliant AND funny as hell!
dawkins at 4:40!
lol feces
Love how Dawkins is just enjoying himself.
@ApesAmongUs 2nd law of thermodynamics- everything dies, everything in the universe grows old and eventually loses its energy and succumbs to the wear and tear of nature; with that in mind, there are no averages to death in the universe; its absolute, even the universe will eventually die.
@poppins1978
Anthropic principle.
We haven’t been killed, and we can only say that because it hasn’t happened. All of those creatures who have died don’t get to have the discussion about how special they are because they are dead. If life did exist on Mars, then it died and never got the opportunity to think that the universe was designed for it.
All the fact that we are alive proves is that nothing has killed us yet. If you look at the averages, everything is basically dead.
religion and god… IDIOTIC DESIGN
Among all the scientists that deal with the public, Tyson is the most interesting, has the best delivery, and the best attitude. He’s much better than Dawkins as a public face for science IMO.

No it was Thor.

@jagemobe The Flying Spaghetti Monster will protect us.
@jagemobe Zeus burned down Jesus just a few weeks ago in Ohio.
Keep on blaspheming, heretics. Jesus is gonna borrow a thunderbolt from Zeus and fuck y’all up.
Hello Dawkins! I’m not asking for a miracle, just a separate hole for breathing and eating, like dolphins! That was hilarious!
@hejcoze Yep.
Is that Richard Dawkins at 4:36 ?
@godlysense I agree, religion is actually pure idolatry… How foolish to claim that a 2000 years book detain any truth about reality, isn’t that dark and confused…
This video is great. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is so cool.
24So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. 26That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Romans 1:21-26
21Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles
looooool, the ending.
hahahahaah this guy is the SHIT. Feynman, Sagan and Tyson are my favorite scientists
Exquisite! Comical but true! Thanks for the vid @ricoatheist!

@claudius2u
gravity is also a theory, as are atoms, and germs!
but you don’t deny those exist do you?
scientific theory does not mean guess.
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!
THIS IS SO RIGHT!
I HATE those kind of costumers!
@mastergradeone IMHO, A well-designed logo is a reflection of a business. Nike swoosh symbolizes speed. Fed Ex ‘s arrow between the ‘E’ and ‘x’ symbolizes moving forward. The YouTube logo probably cost way more than hundreds. Remember, the final logo goes thru countless iterations (as in the funny video above.
A well-designed logo should look like it was effortless. And you should be able to “get it” as soon as you see it. A slapped together idea/logo looks like that. Slapped together and bland.
@mastergradeone
p.2:
i am not a professional designer, but i did a few jobs, and i can tell you, a logo can take up a few hours or even whole days
@mastergradeone
p.1:
try to make one yourself: it should include the message you want to show, look good, yet be simple, so people don’t encounter egyptian hyroglyphs. then you should consider the size, will it be big for a poster, or small for a web-icon. a complicated logo will look awfull if small.
this may take 5 minutes to come up, but designers also come up with dozen of other logo ideas and than pick the best one out
This actualy sounds like my boss. Cept I have a job that pays me $10 per hour and I basicly dont have a choice… He dosent Like anything except Microsoft word. Dispite the fact that he wants something that he can add in the middle and not change the whole layout, he wants word. No Floating Boxes, No Excell, No Tables, Just word. I want to stab him.
>mac
I lol’d
To Graphic Designers:
may i ask why a logo cost more than $100?
it so simple and a bit over paid imo.
Look at the YouTube logo…i bet that cost hundreds of dollars to make and probably done in 5 minutes.
@duzybialypies You’re right about the revisions part. I’m gonna start charging for revisions because that’s kind fo annoying when you finalize everything and then find out THE NEXT DAY AND THEN THE NEXT DAY that you have to add something else.
@chrisbrattuk u hit the nail right on the head chris. I hate when clients don’t know what the hell they want so you have to spend hours trying to accomodate their needs because they’re extremely picky and undecisive. At the end of it all they want to pay you next to nothing and one of my biggest issues is when they contact me at the last minute for a flyer that needs to be completed in less than an hour..are you kidding me? I have priorities, i have a life. Ppl are so stupid & UNPROFESSIONAL!
too much swearing ….. fail coz swearing makes you hard -.-
I’d say hillarious if it wasn’t so real:) But ladies and gentleman, often it’s ourselves who spoil the market, client’s and their perception of what it takes to design. We do it by accepting unrealistic deadlines, budgets and allowing endless revisions. I’d advise we always send terms and conditions – keep certain minimum time for initial drafts (48h or so), limit the number of revisions, work for fair rates or rather dump the job, etc.
@archierowland
Nailed it on the freaking head
@laurentius88
Are u serious, goodness I hope your joking otherwise you pretty much just watched this video and then responded in the same way this client did! Il assume your not a graphic designer and be nice. There’s a lot more to being a graphic designer than you think, I’ve been studying for 6 years and nothing frustrates or offends me more than when a person assumes it’s a shallow process. But maybe it’s the state of today’s world n all that jazz, maybe not
@Jaya365 Actually, learn to use Microsoft Project, there are good tutorials online, they won’t make sense at first but you will like it late on, then take the training and vuala! now you are a project manager and can charge $75K a year in no time.
@Jaya365 Do what I did, take a PROJECT MANAGEMENT course, is like 2 weeks long at the most. It will teach you how to manage a project of course and will cover all those situations. Project management was meant for engineering but it can be applied to EVERYTHING in life. That way you can put your clients in their place, otherwise it will be a waste of time for both sides.
@vjrei agreed. Currently doing both for a college. Inherited a CMS that doesn’t work, now they want a total makeover. My clients are all college staff they all want their own look and feel, can we have this drop down menu, can we have this banner on our section. The amount of times i felt like telling them to F**k off
The only thing worst than graphic design is web design.
@thornboy Well people can be quite dumb 🙂
@laurentius88 It seems that AI will eventually take over everything for us. Then maybe we’ll live in one of Isaac Asimov’s dilemmas. But, if we somehow retain control over the computers (by separating specific AI programs and not allowing complete communication/unauthorized) then maybe we can live in a world where we barely have to do anything accept hit some switches, go to the gym, eat, etc.
@laurentius88 now that really encourages me, thanks alot
Spot on!
Sad for the designers that they’re out of jobs because of some computers… but that’s how it goes. They try hard now to keep up the illusion that their job is important – still anyone can do it on a laptop nowadays.
Good luck in your new careers, designer folks!
OMG so this is BS is universal?! I thought I was the only one who got clients like this. I once had a guy say to me, so your an artist huh? I’ll pay you to paint my dining room! “A mural?” No, I just need the room painted.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
