Oh look. Kevin is making us question our existence again.
Have you seen exurb1a? If not, go check it out. I recommend starting with "42"

Nice scapegoating
Damn Kevin, making me feel not depressed!
He's the cause! Banish him!
I suddenly have a strong desire for a robust stamp collection.
one question remains:
who do we kill for that collection?
This guy is stopping us from getting a robust stamp collection. /\
philately
His neck must hurt
liek ur momma's
200th like.
I need to stop commenting this.
That One Guy flip I was bout to comment this
I KNOW RIGHT
i read it like "mustard"
"Your mom is blue rice"- Kevin 2017
its true, sometimes you might argue against a model
Darn, you beat me to it.
Please explain!!
But mom is also green 🍚.
And "Harry Potter is blue rice" -Kevin, 2017
I thought the title said spacegoat. I was wondering why is was taking so long to get to the point......
George Paine Oh man, great comment
I just learnt the word two or three days ago, that's why I watched this video. I had the same question as you
Spacegoat makes amazing music though! I recommend their album Superstition. :D
@Impacttrooper unexpected justifiable advertisement lol
What I really like about that video is that Kevin is looking up to the camera, looking up to us.
Ties perfectly with the video, and that idea of integrating camera tricks into the idea of the video is something Vsauce is doing quite a lot.
What I really like about this video is that Kevin purposefully decided to leave out the most important part about Girard's entire work although Girard spent the majority of his life writing on it. It's really odd.
Every time I watch a Vsauce video I have an existential crisis!
456DontKnowWhatUsernameIShouldHave! Try exurb1a
Omg same
In a nagging tone:
The existential crisis means it's working.
existential crisis! at the disco
I cant even imagine how much your neck must have hurt after finishing shooting this video
So basically, people make their own mistakes, leading them to blame and punish another person. Yup. Logic.
You are weirdly simple-minded.
Yup, whoever said humans are smart was wrong
Rather, it's a society in a situation that is dysfunctional trying to pin the blame of a blameless crime gives release
You just describe The simpsons
@Jony ibarra they my middle school years.
This is freakin fantastic
Are you Edward Snowdens long lost brother wtf?
Nope
so basically, you, are a mix of everything you know, that's poetic.
ok....
Notumengi
Everything is a remix
I just realized that kung fu panda 2 or 3 tried to teach the same thing
You may or may not have noticed, but the camera angle changed the entire feel of this video. The psychology behind putting yourself lower than someone else in physical space, adds a notion of empowerment to the person you are doing it to, because of this, I personally felt, kinda reassured or comforted by the conclusion rather than feeling small.
"Yo momma is blue rice!"
OHHHHHHHHHHHH
Yo balls is blue rice.
Blue rice is the next best roast
"the knife and jar represent a hypothesis for human sacrifice"
well that escalated quickly
The powerful irony in that the Jews were big fans of Scapegoats.
Chris Gough But that was in the temple before the massive massive persecution
Now they are the scapegoats for alt right conspiracy theorists
0:17 "you'll be the green rice" WAIT NO I WANNA BE THE BLUE RICE
Adele Hare Wha?
You are the blue rice to someone else
😆
Then you are...
YO MOM
Just a small point on Meltzoff's hypothesis; young children don't have a sense of 'object permanence' so when a mother closes her eyes, to a child (under 2 or so) the eyes just aren't there from the child's point of view. At that age, a child has no theory of mind, and cannot place any kind of association between what happens when they close their eyes and when the someone else does so. They do react differently when the mothers eyes are open, but this is due to an instinct to pay attention to a mothers eyes when they are there from the child point of view, not some understanding of a mothers intentions or experience.
This is why young children can play peekaboo for what seems like forever. They are consistently surprised when you reappear out of what to them seems like nowhere.
Also, the idea of desire not being innate, but an external force that can cause conflict was perfectly extolled in the 1984 movie The Gods must be Crazy.
Mike James +
Well noone is ever completely correct about anything to their ending point. We are humans; unique creatures, not perfect. There can always be something added, seen from a different perspective, done differently, and so on. At least they added that statement/idea to begin with.
My pet goat escaped its enclosure. It's a scapegoat.
My goat is in space. A spacegoat.
It's an 'scapegoat.
Lmao
'scapegoats these days
A goat on the lamb
Beautiful...another elegantly arranged and well-thought-out work of philosophy.
Johnny Garcia with some lies here and there
Mork 666 wot
I can't like comments with 69 comments because that would ruin it.
Suani Avila agreed
It isn't elegant or well-thought out since he chose to omit the most important part of Girard's work. Do your own research and find out. This guys is a Charlatan
“Your mom is blue rice”
OHHHHHH TOASTED
vsauce has an strategy in their speech to keep you hooked. a pretty good one.
I was a scapegoat. I'm goat that just escaped my farm.
This camera angle makes me feel like Kevin's in my toilet.
LMAO
I have been on my toilet for 30 minutes watching YouTube videos
Who said he wasn't?
This video touched me
TheOneBoQuA An old man touched me
nut
Touch, I remember touch
Show us on the phone where the video touch you. It’s okay your safe here

Dang. What an emotional rollercoaster.
I want to be as sexy as your Aunt Maureen
10:30 “enGRAINED in you” I see what you did there
1:47 i learned english entirely by just watching YouTube and that shows once again that learning from experiencing is very normal
An honor to participate alongside these awesome people. Also, before he said the three grains of rice were rice I thought they were hamster droppings after feeding hamsters food coloring.
Oh wow, let me get this right. I've somehow struck a nerve simply by deploying some constructive criticism; upsetting you enough to project some imagined persona archetype in order to deploy some self-deprecating ad hominem jabs? Boy if that doesn't scream of some kind of severe clinical retardation than I don't know what would. Clearly you're unstable so let's just say that you're right and that there's nothing wrong with your critique of the video, good-bye.
Definitely supporting the aforementioned supposition of clinical retardation, not to be condescending; I just think you should talk to a professional practitioner about getting diagnosed. =/
To be specific, one can't really read in to an impersonal critique and get the likes of "manipulate and to force worthlessness onto your less educated peers" out of it, on top off unfounded irrational feelings of negativity; it's very suggestive of a profound mental illness. So as I've just mentioned; find help if not for any immediate results, than at least to mitigate any chances of it developing in to something more serious or life-threatening
Well, it's my 2 cents on your retort to my original criticism; on which I still stand by that by no means does the video espouse inaction or voiding liability (legal and otherwise) just because personhood is inherently environmentally driven. But on the later matter isn't it at least curious why you jumped to such sharp conclusions of intention just from my comment on your problem with the video; at least in an intrapersonal perspective? To me its at least suggestive of your disposition, all of which funny enough refers back to the video's it self
LOL
Very thought provoking.
E X I S T E N S I A L I S M
No it isn't. Girard is actually a Catholic thinker. Do your research and don't listen to Kevin, he's a information withholding snake.
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Kevin:WHY DO I SPEAK ENGLISH
So much knowledge flowing into mah head
Great video! I never thought about scapegoats this way before. Thanks for inspiring me to keep experimenting with how I make videos to satisfy my mimetic desire
Veritasium you are blue rice
Veritasium you are blue rice to me
Veritasium I've never even thought of scapegoats this much before
Șerban Andrei how do you have that much subs
Veritasium I saw that amazing show you made "Plutonium: A Twist In The Dragon's Tail" IT WAS SO COOL
Watching this video made my neck hurt.
"I am alone and I am everyone."
Damn, this is pwoerful!
10:38
This is why I watch Vsauce...
I just love this!
I got mindblowned away... That explains why lots of people blaim jews
It also doesn't help that Jews happen to have higher IQs than the general populace, so they tend to group around the top % of earners. The same thing is happening in South Africa where white people who generally have slightly higher IQs are taking the highest earning positions.
blame
Vsauce2: "Who are you?"
Me: "I'm you, but stronger"
This is for me the best video on all the vsauce channels !!!
eliouz but it failed to tell the truth on the Salem trials...look it up on your own!!
I tried to wipe the rice grains off my screen. :(
10:47 I thought "They are your" rather than "You are Everyone"

6:01 those little green people saying "yay" just curried my depression 🤣
6:33 she's winding up to dab on the whole courthouse.
You killed me with that. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
