...

这里是一些回答你们提出的一些问题。

[音乐响起]

...

由于美国现在是假期周，

我们想做一些稍微不一样的事情，

制作一个问答视频，我们已经一年没做过这种视频了。

所以我去社交媒体上向你们征集问题。

你们通过Twitter、Facebook、

Tumblr和Reddit发来了问题。

所以，我们会尽力回答尽可能多的问题。

但在我们开始之前，我想说，

既然是感恩节，感谢所有观看这个节目的朋友们，

感谢你们的精彩讨论，

以及提出的优秀问题。

如果没有你们，Idea Channel就不会存在，

也不会成为现在的样子。

所以，为了表达感谢之情，嘿，谢谢大家。

So in the spirit of giving thanks, hey, thanks.

好的，现在说完了这些，让我们开始回答问题吧。

致aqissiaq，早餐的话，我喜欢酸奶和格兰诺拉麦片。

我还会喝很多咖啡。

之前Brady在片场开玩笑说，我身上有很浓的咖啡味。

你们在YouTube上观看，

可能不知道这一点。

Mike真的闻起来有咖啡味。

我只是说一下。

那不是玩笑。

我真的闻起来像咖啡。

我的血液大部分都是咖啡。

StringEpsilon想知道我读过的最不喜欢的书，至少读了30页的。

这个问题我有两个答案。

第一个是，我读过——有两本书是由这位叫Andrew Keen的人写的。

And I have two answers to this question.

我读过他的两本书。

而且我讨厌每一页，每一本书的每一页。

对于认识Andrew Keen的人来说，你们可能知道为什么。

对于不认识Andrew Keen的人来说，

我建议你们保持不知道。

另一个是，我要得罪一些人，

For anybody who doesn't know Andrew Keen.

《饥饿游戏》。

但我读过《饥饿游戏》系列的所有书，

从头到尾。

而且——我读它们的原因是，我认为这些书

比电影剧本更好。

而且我认为电影非常棒，

the books are better screenplays than they are books.

总是会在电影上映之前或重读它们。

这真是一种奇怪的体验，

读一些东西，然后觉得，哦，天啊，这太糟糕了，

我知道这很奇怪。

Cryptobum想知道影响我世界观的书籍。

before the movies come out.

And it's just ah, it's such a strange experience

to read something and be like, oh, god this is so bad,

and then go and watch the movie, and it's so much better

than the book was.

I know that's weird.

Cryptobum wants to know the books which

have influenced my worldview.

And this is a little bit of a difficult question

to answer because for Idea Channel,

every week I'm reading something that is influencing

and changing my worldview.

It's one of the things that is great about making

this show that I am always expanding my understanding

of the world and culture.

Specifically, there are two things, though,

that come right to mind.

Most books by Edward Tufte.

But specifically "Envisioning Information"

and "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information"

are two books that, when I first read them, really

changed the way that I viewed the world,

I think because they show how the proper display

of information that exists in the world

can so readily and easily and powerfully impact

our understanding of it.

And I think that it was when I first read those books that I

started to become interested in the way ideas

and information is communicated to an audience.

So those two books, yeah, huge impact.

And as far as fiction is concerned,

"Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

No question about it.

...

It made me who I am.

Stormygeddon, do you not know that a man is not dead

while his name is still being spoken,

I think is what Terry Pratchett said.

Piwikiwi, yes, I do really want to make more episodes that

are in a playlist format or like a lean back where

we introduce ideas between each of the videos.

There are a couple in the works.

I don't want to spoil any surprises.

哦，太好了。

I also in general really want to figure out

ways for Idea Channel to use more of YouTube's technology

in weird ways.

Tower07, favorite board games.

I really love Space Alert.

I also really like Pandemic, Mansions of Madness, Eclipse,

and Cosmic Encounter.

AveyReynolds, what have I been listening to?

So I'm always listening to a ton of things.

And if you want to keep up-to-date on what

I'm interested in and listening to,

Twitter is the best way to do that.

But today, the things I listened to

were the new Eli Kessler record, which is great.

It's a collaboration with Oren Ambarchi.

The new Deerhoof record, which I really, really like.

And I have been slowly working my way

through the Pauline Oliveros 12-CD set

from Important Records, which is just consistently blowing

my mind.

Oh, it's so good.

HighlyAnalytical, each of these questions

deserves its own 10-minute-long video as a response.

But to just give you a semblance of an answer for each.

One, one of my favorite things to think about

is what would happen in the world

if all borders were to disappear and passports

were to become something of a relic

of a past and unsophisticated age.

As far as capitalism, I think that when

you become reflexively uncritical

of any system of any kind, it starts

to do more harm than good.

And I wonder whether or not we have

lapsed into that reflex with capitalism.

And as far as urbanization goes, I

think there are benefits and detriments clearly.

I also wonder whether or not it is

a thing that is essentially unavoidable for weird economic

and just subconscious reasons.

I do, however, despair to think of a point in the future

where the East Coast becomes like the mega cities from Judge

Dredd.

...

No.

Max Sommerfeld, Hogwarts house, Ravenclaw,

though I am probably the least competitive person

that you have ever met.

So not academically competitive in the same way

Ravenclaws might stereotypically be.

Linda Peterson, I'm assuming that you are asking what

my actual, in-real-life superpower

is and not if I could choose any fantastic superpower, which

would I choose.

So my actual, real-life superpower

is that I can recognize actors when

they are doing voiceover for commercials or in animated

films.

I can tell you who is speaking even though you

can't see their face.

It's a very strange superpower.

It comes in handy more than you'd guess.

Nicolas, it has been about 15 years since I have seriously

played Magic the Gathering, but black and red

were the colors that I always played with, I think,

because I thought those were the cool colors.

Are those still the cool colors?

Are there cool colors?

Clearly, I'm out of touch.

Shelby [INAUDIBLE], I get recognized

on a street maybe once or twice a month,

so not very often, but definitely

more often than before I made Idea Channel.

And everybody who stops me on the street is very, very nice

and is super cool.

And this is a thing that my friends actually point out

that after I have an interaction with someone who stopped me

on the street, they're like, your fans

are so nice and interesting.

And then, I beam at them like an idiot.

And I say, I know, right?

Holly from Philosophy Tube asks if I have a favorite play.

And this is a little bit difficult

to answer because I've done a lot of work

in theater, but mostly in experimental theater,

so things that don't have scripts in a way

that you would normally think theater

would so they don't travel well, I guess.

But if I had to answer, I would say I have a couple answers.

"The Tempest" is my favorite Shakespeare play,

which I realize is a strange, maybe unpopular answer.

I really liked "Woyzeck."

Big "Einstein on the Beach" fan, Philip Glass and Robert Wilson.

And I think my favorite piece of performance that I've ever seen

is this show that this theater company Elevator Repair Service

theater did called "Gatz," G-A-T-Z.

And it's a six-hour long performance where one

of the performers reads "The Great Gatsby"

from beginning to end.

And as this character is reading "The Great Gatsby"

word-for-word, beginning to end, the characters

in the office, the players, are mirroring

or in some way responding to the things that are happening

in "The Great Gatsby."

And seeing this was a hugely formative experience for me

to see that theater could be this intense, durationally

extreme a thing that was built on the pre-existing culture

and could react to culture in that way.

And it was just-- man, yeah, I have nothing

but great memories of "Gatz."

Love the show.

That might be my favorite.

I don't know if that's a play.

Anonymous wonders if Idea Channel

is anything like what I expected I would

be doing when I was in college.

And the answer is no, not even a little.

I moved to New York and thought that I

would write music and work in theater

as technician, as a sound designer and composer, which

is what I was doing it before I started making Idea Channel.

I was also making performance art.

So I thought I would be involved in theater and performance,

but never, ever considered myself

on camera personality, which is a thing that I still

have a really hard time with, that when people call me--

when people refer to me as talent--

you're like, oh the talent-- that is so strange to me.

I'm just a guy who sometimes says things

to Morgan, who is standing behind the camera.

...

Yeah, so-- [LAUGHS] No, no, that being said,

I'm having a great time and love making Idea Channel.

So no problem.

That's OK.

OK.

So that is, I think, a sufficient number of questions

to have answered.

We will be back next week with a regular episode

and comment responses to the Too Many Cooks video.

If it is a holiday week for you, I hope it is a great one.

And if it isn't, I hope it's a great one anyways.

Why should you be only having great weeks

when it's a holiday?

Everybody have a great week.

We'll see you soon.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

...

[英语]

Here's some answers to some questions that you asked.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It being a holiday week here in America,

we thought we would do something a little bit different

and make a Q&A video, which we haven't made in about a year.

So I took to social media and asked you for your questions.

And you sent them via Twitter and Facebook

and Tumblr and Reddit.

So yeah, we're going to answer as many of them

as is reasonable to answer.

But before we do that, I just want to say,

since it's Thanksgiving, thanks to everybody who

watches the show, who has great conversations,

asks awesome questions.

Idea Channel would not exist and would not be the thing

that it is without you.

So in the spirit of giving thanks, hey, thanks.

OK, so now that that is done, let's answer some questions.

To aqissiaq, for breakfast, I'm a yogurt and granola guy.

I also drink a lot of coffee.

There was a joke a while back when Brady was on the set

that I smelled strongly of coffee.

You all watching this on YouTube,

you probably don't realize this.

Mike really smells of coffee.

I'm just saying.

That was not a joke.

I actually do just smell like coffee.

My blood is mostly coffee.

StringEpsilon wants to know my least favorite book that I have

read for at least 30 pages.

And I have two answers to this question.

The first is I have read-- there have been two books written

by this man called Andrew Keen.

And I have read both of them.

And I hated every single page of every single one of them.

And for anybody who knows Andrew Keen,

you will probably know why.

For anybody who doesn't know Andrew Keen.

I recommend you keep it that way.

The other is, and I'm going to make some enemies

for this, "The Hunger Games."

But I have read every single "Hunger Games" book

from beginning to end.

And it's-- the reason I read them is because I think that

the books are better screenplays than they are books.

And I think that the movies are so good

and such a great adaptation of the ideas in the books.

But the book itself is just-- god, it's awful.

But the experience of reading it and then-- and I

always read them right before-- or re-read them right

before the movies come out.

And it's just ah, it's such a strange experience

to read something and be like, oh, god this is so bad,

and then go and watch the movie, and it's so much better

than the book was.

I know that's weird.

Cryptobum wants to know the books which

have influenced my worldview.

And this is a little bit of a difficult question

to answer because for Idea Channel,

every week I'm reading something that is influencing

and changing my worldview.
