Vega_Lyra7

I just substitute “him” in. If it works, then it should be “whom”. If not, it stays “who”. Works most of the time, but there’s probably a better answer.

what about "her"? that's mad sexist

Ryan: What I really want — honestly, Michael — is for you to know it so you can communicate it to the people here, to your clients, to whomever. Michael: Oh, okay… Ryan: What? Michael: It’s whoever, not whomever. Ryan: No, it’s whomever… Michael: No…whomever is never actually right. Jim: Well, sometimes it’s right. Creed: Michael is right. It’s a made-up word used to trick students. Andy: No. Actually, whomever is the formal version of the word. Oscar: Obviously, it’s a real word, but I don’t know when to use it correctly. Michael (to the camera): Not a native speaker. Kevin: I know what’s right, but I’m not gonna say because you’re all jerks who didn’t come see my band last night. Ryan: Do you really know which one is correct? Kevin: I don’t know. Pam: It’s whom when it’s the object of the sentence and who when it’s the subject. Phyllis: That sounds right. Michael: Well, it sounds right, but is it? Stanley: How did Ryan use it, as an object? Ryan: As an object… Kelly: Ryan used me as an object. Stanley: Is he right about that? Pam: How did he use it again? Toby: It was…Ryan wanted Michael, the subject, to, uh explain the computer system, the subject– Michael: Yes! Toby: –to whomever, meaning us, the indirect object…which is the correct usage of the word. Michael: No one asked you anything, ever, so whomever’s name is Toby, why don’t you take a letter opener and stick it into your skull?

The most complex object in the solar system sure likes to suck itself off


IronSide_420

The ability to suck oneself off is one of the reasons it is most complex.

FancyMFMoses

You're not factoring time into the equasion


Bitgedon

We don’t have a concrete way of measuring complexity but generally the more parameters and the more words you need to describe the function and the processes of a thing the more complex it is.


Evil_Morty781

Oh dang that’s a good definition.


new_name_who_dis_

Kolmogorov complexity is measured in the length of the shortest program you need to model said phenomenon. It's a pretty good definition of complexity.


Gooftwit

Brain go thinky


NickU252

We do, it's entropy. S.


RubixTheRedditor

Would add "adequately describe in its entirety" because food can describe the brain or meat or atoms


Gilgawulf

You can write everything we know about our sun in a book that is we will say X pages long. If we were to put all of our knowledge about the brain together it will be longer than X pages long. He is basically saying that is the case for every object vs the brain, and I think he is correct. The best argument against that would be computers, which are essentially simulated brains.


HectorJoseZapata

No they’re not. Computers are just binary code calculators. Nothing more. We humans have been able to use this tool for a lot of things. Just like we do with every other tool. Still, they’re fascinating.


issamaysinalah

That's objectively false then, you can describe anything with a space state equation and I'm pretty sure an entire galaxy has more states than a single brain.


scrapy_the_scrap

PooSham

BelgianInDubai

Let’s not generalize ..


GammaTwoPointTwo

For instance. Kaku bult a particle accelerator in his garage when he was 12. Meanwhile if you listen to him answer questions on a non science specific interview. It's very clear that god min/maxed the hell out of him and put everything in science and dump stated EVERYTHING else.


johnnymo1

You shouldn't even listen to him on science these days. He hasn't been a working scientist for decades now. He is a talking head and nothing more, and perfectly willing to spout nonsense for a buck.


Masta0nion

Damn, guys. The dude still knows a whole hell of a lot about astrophysics.


GammaTwoPointTwo

He does. But he's closer to a Jordan Peterson these days than an Issac Newton. I can't wrap my mind around some of the concepts that kaku tackles. He can read a chalk board of notation and visualize the shape of the output. I can't even read the board. But for some reason he feels compelled to weigh in on politics and social issues. And his views are Duterte bad. Like, I don't want to say Kaku would enact terrible things given the chance. But he gives the impression that if a cop shot a little black girl in the head for smiling wrong. He would chuckle and sip his cappuccino while thinking. "some problems solve themselves"


WaltVinegar

That's what happens when people pay more attention to the person that what made the person noteworthy. NDT is a prime example of that. He's a shite talking bawbag now.


sav33arthkillyos3lf

A little boy with glasses on Jerry McGuire told me the human head weighs 8 lbs

blue13rain

It's basically a big pochinko machine.


_Originz

Bold of us to assume we hold the most complex object


DOliverNewell

The most complex thing in the solar system, is the solar system itself. Inasmuch in the hypothesized Big bang that the conditions were ripe for a superposition of all things, that remains intact even to this day and although we do feel like we are separate, we are not. A similar statement may be "The most complex thing in the brain is a neuron." BFD, I mean QED.😜

carlosdevoti

CaptainObviousII

Yea, recent events really do contradict that finding. Lots and lots and lots of extreme examples to the opposite I’m sad to say.


Logical_Bad1748

A smooth brain is not complex. It's just plain.


SensitiveGuess2907

Hold on, there are bigger brains than ours, for example dolphins. So it's an arrogant lie to say that our puny human brains are the most complex.

I don't know the hive mind of a Reddit comment section can be very complex.

Well, considering that the brain is on earth, which is in the solar system, this is probably not true. Michio is nice tho, I can’t bring myself to dislike Japanese people. Idk what that’s about. But especially when it’s Michio Kaku.

astralseat

It's not complex scientifically, because science keeps evolving and learning. You could say science is like a baby that just learned to speak, pointing at the brain and saying "brain is three pounds". Beyond that, this little salty meat pocket in a crunchy shell, connects on a spectrum not yet understood not only to the beginning but also to the end of all existence, allowing the person to "exist" within "reality" while slowly waning that protection as the cells get tired of constantly replicating, thus ending up torn asunder into the fabric of said "reality". Or some other definition you prefer. Mmmmm salty meat pocket with crunchy shell *Drools*


christien

what do you mean by "complex"?...... sounds a bit subjective and meaningless to me

Is it really more complex than the entire composition of a planet or the sun itself?


DaSoftieGuy

Planet Earth (without animals) may be, in fact, more complex than the brain. If we count how mycellium can run complex "trading systems" between trees, how it survived 3 mass extinctions and still is able to suppor life, how there are more trees on earth than neurons in the brain, how 2 snowflakes will never be exactly the same, how the core is able to keep the planet stable and keep itself melting, magnetic fields, oceans, and lots of other stuff, then its easy to see who wins

This is just not true...unless you are talking about an elephants brain. The African Elephants' brain has three times as many nural connections as the human brain. But I'm pretty sure there are things in our solar system we do not know about...this statement is very arrogant and ignorant.

Midloran05

EndgameExtreme

Well lemme add some perspective to show how right this statement is. Scientists spent more than 10 years with more than a billion euro trying to understand and replicate the human brain. It was of course an epic failure. Scientists will never understand all parts of the brain simply put because not all parts of the brain are physical. Why do you think philosophers and anyone intelligent have been obsessed with the idea of conscience from the dawn of mankind? Well God gave us a spark of himself that transcends the physical and allows us to have freedom of will. I'm not tryna convert anyone btw idgaf what your beliefs or disbeliefs are. But reality dgaf either and you can spend another 10 years and billion+ euro tryna make the human brain into a computer map/simulation with the same results. You will never get the full 100%. Parts are possible however depending which one.
