I only saw one Harry Potter....obviously needs another watch. I thought there were too many from Kill Bill and not enough Jackie Chan. Also no Kung Pow at all!

Jacking this from @Twozzok on facebook. - http://www.upworthy.com/watch-a-teacher-make-her-3rd-grade-kids-hate-each-other-for-the-best-reason-imaginable-2?g=3

Watch A Teacher Make Her 3rd-Grade Kids Hate Each Other For The Best Reason Imaginable

I saw this video in college, and I immediately changed my major. The payoff at the end is brilliant and a perfect metaphor for what we deal with and face every day in our society. Like "Catcher in the Rye" is to high school students, this is part of your Upworthy required reading.

 

1:30: This teacher begins a study that will be talked about for 40 years.

3:00: She re-creates segregation and racism in her classroom.

7:45: Mrs. Elliott flips the entire class on their heads.

10:00 Jane Elliot makes the most profound discovery about us all

11:43: The students learn something that the world is still struggling to.

There are too many great moments to point out. Just watch.

The original has been posted before, but I haven't seen the "remakes", so thanks. FIY, I think the original is an ad for not jumping in front of Australian trains.

We learn about this study pretty early studying psychology. It's very good.

 

Amazingly I've never come across it, despite its age. It's a shame that something like that would probably never pass now ethically.

 

 

I'd seen the original quite a few times before but this one was genius!

Not sure whether this actually happened, but guy sets AI learning bots running in Quake 3 against each other for 4 years, and then comes back to them to see what they've learnt:

That reminds me of the Civ II game one player continued playing (on and off) for a full ten years. The result was a 1984-esque perpetual stalemate between 3 remaining factions (Celts, Vikings, and Americans) trapped in a ceaselessly repeating state of nuclear apocalypse.

 

I bet that's what is going on with us as well. This whole "Earth"-thing is just a random game of Civ 200 running in some nerd's computer. He's not even playing, but just spectating what happens when every human and living creature have their own AI.

That was actually quite interesting, topical too for me as I was playing Quake Arena Arcade last night (it was selling cheap recently) which I believe uses the same A.I from the original Quake 3... it has a 'story mode' now but it's basically just you versus the A.I and I did feel like when I was playing those few matches that the bots did at least seem to be 'thinking' and not rushing in all the time.

 

I think the bots in the original Perfect Dark were pretty clever for their time as well... even by today's standards to an extent. :)

Well, some neuroscientific findings suggest we do not have free will, but may simply be very advanced AI's in a huge system of causality.
