So she made the game easy for me. I'm 2-4 degrees away from practically every living person on film.>> <<@Adarsh-e6d says : people know same people tho a guy on mexico may know 100 people and 1 of the 100 may know 100 people but many of them will be common and tbh i cant ever link up a random person in somewhere in china or the usa to me in 6 steps and i firmlt believe so>> <<@rea1na2h says : brando?>> <<@SkinnyRyz says : Fun fact in the UK and I'm 2 degrees from Barack Obama which sadly means I'm 3 degrees from Donald Trump>> <<@CoolGuy999TheBest says : Who got the giko add in the beginning>> <<@petrolheadshed says : 20:29 Lorax mentioned>> <<@JoseGonzalezUwU says : interesanchi>> <<@nunosilva6843 says : there s a game thats called RUST, its a free world mixed with pvp. When you start playing, you actually try to talk with other players and try to connect, but because must of the players are playing like a pvp game, you start to not trying to connect, and me more in the pvp side. and its a game really opened for everything, and with good bases to connect But still people choose to pvp, even when they dont need to get stronger>> <<@EndIess says : Like yourself I grew up in Victoria. I dated someone from Warragul (so I'm sure there's a step or two linking us there). And I did my honours with one of your producers.... So as crazy as this sounds.. that's 2 steps for us? 😂>> <<@darwinace6745 says : that random event, where i don´t really want to go, being critical in your life... its so true...>> <<@bartovergaauw says : Apart from the thing that manu different people know a lot of the same people..>> <<@sufficientgrace4us says : This is why I made a conscious decision to stop being introverted. This is possibly the most important lesson for life-maxxing.>> <<@JR_Achillies says : I took game theory in college ten years ago. I didn't connect it until now but the prisoners dilemma reminds me a lot of the current red button blue button debates/memes. I don't know about you but I'd choose the blue button (we all survive if we choose blue) then be frustrated when the (I survive) red button wins... Funny how the prisoners dilemma made it into pop culture meme land.>> <<@EvanLangenberg-x4j says : 32:40 What I love about these Veritasium videos is they go through the fascinating, complex math and theory behind these ideas and then end with a paragraph with profoundly wise advice.>> <<@Ploober0 says : I was at a program for school on the other side of my state, and one of the staff there knew my grandparents ( I’m from a small town of ~100) crazy stuff>> <<@nunyabidness117 says : Back in 2003 I met a woman during a random cigarette break. She was a flight attendant on private jets and told me the most amazing story of how an investment banker from New England flew his GF to the Seychelle Islands on a private jet over Christmas and how much it cost him. It was a great story and I retold it often. Twenty years later I am buying a washer and dryer set on Facebook Marketplace and I realize after 2 minutes of small talk the woman in front of me is indeed the very same woman. After an excited, 'I know you!' I retold her the very same story she told me 20 years earlier verbatim. She was simply stunned and TBH a little freaked out how this seemingly minor long-forgotten 15 minute throw-away chance meeting over a cigarette 2 decades previous had taken on a life of its own without her knowledge, only to have it presented back to her by way of a random stranger showing up at her front door to buy a washer and dryer. My takeaway was that even in seemingly minor interactions we have far more impact on those around us than we realize.>> <<@nunyabidness117 says : I can connect to Pete Rose in 2 hops and from him to thousands.>> <<@nunyabidness117 says : Most people's friends have more friends than they do. I have a few friends who are friends with literally 1000's of people.>> <<@Triptopserly says : I read the title as “how to reach any house 6 steps in”>> <<@MatthewBrown-m8i says : Connect me in 100 steps to one of those random tribesman that have been separated from civilization for thousands of years and kill anyone that approaches their island …>> <<@alancruiser6139 says : There is a flaw: with the disease spread it seems to be assumed that you are physically connected. But what if you're just on the phone or texting each other?? That type of contact will increase in shortcuts.>> <<@HappyMagolor2 says : I only need four to reach Obama>> <<@SlipperyShadow says : 11:21 w shirt>> <<@SlipperyShadow says : 0:15 w choice>> <<@XFadedXSunX says : im connected to tony hawk because he follows the mayor of my skatepark>> <<@Izac4000 says : I know someone whos friends with a billionaire>> <<@arthuranderson78 says : 60 years ago, I left my small town in NM and went to summer school ending with a week long tour in Mexico City. While walking around completely lost, I heard someone yell my name on a street in Mexico City. It was my best friend’s brother that just happened to be in that city & at that location, thousands of miles from home! Amazing!>> <<@aromaticsnail says : nice of you to assume i have friends>> <<@oliveralmqvist9999 says : My girlfriends friend and my grandmother are neighbors and have been long before we met>> <<@Thashwakawaii says : I wish this theory work in favour for me to land a job in my field. But I do not know how to network. Applying haven't worked so far.>> <<@FRC7R says : yo just got out of my mom's belly didn't even see her, now u can't do the 6 step method on me cuz I don't know anyone>> <<@AndrewChung-i2r says : Elon musk for me is 2 steps and Donald trump is 3>> <<@Definitely_Trinity says : Me > friend > friend's aunt > white house > donald trump>> <<@NoahEricJackson says : I don't have any friends, checkmate buddy.>> <<@jacksondale4366 says : 31:25 - 31:54 is the most important part of this video. It’s cool that you can reach the president or the King of Norway through your friends, but this is the real takeaway.>> <<@karpovlepreux2323 says : If you work all ove the world all of your life as international employee at a rank getting you in contact with diverse layers of society I guess you qualify. The likes of UNO, DIPLOMATS… plenty of people probably qualify. Also it means trying hard to move your connections>> <<@billt808 says : Amazing>> <<@billybobbarker3175 says : I in Canada have first step friends and colleagues in India, China, Russia, Australia, and second steps to, Philippines, USA, . Should be able to reach anyone in few steps!>> <<@Smoke-up7hd says : I can reach Kim Jong Un in 3 steps (Me -> MP, MP -> SM Lee Hsien Loong (3rd PM of Singapore), SM Lee Hsien Loong -> Kim Jong Un from a summit in 2018)>> <<@megazilla344 says : Creating town based intranets could be a very effective way to create cooperation zones. A low latency, high bandwidth town wide wifi network also raises the clockspeed ceiling imposed by ISP routing architecture.>> <<@7monolith says : at least 10>> <<@rayhanatwork says : As an International student I realized I'm a shortcut goldmine. Not only do I know people from different countries, I know the shortcut rich ones.>> <<@MichaelWerneth says : If this is true, can we determine if the US Lottery is legit or fixed? I mean Jeffrey Epstein won it. That’s pretty suspicious. For clarity I think the Mega Millions and Powerball are the main rigged lottery systems.>> <<@MHMMO-Arabic says : 12:50>> <<@IE_455 says : Most people do not have 100 friends lol>> <<@dominicfirpo297 says : You think I have one hundred friends lol I am not that popular>> <<@kaseywashington-y2k says : Reached my president in just 4 degrees 😂>>
