Actually, you can tell this presentation went... It's a really common thing for many performances of various nature and has a certain feel to it, I'll try to describe it. "Nothing went wrong". As in, every single aspect that depends on your effort goes as planned, but no wow-effect is achieved, the performance was solid and somewhat impressive in that regard, but fell short of what it could've been. I think things like these can be attributed to overscripting, when the script also doesn't target the audience too well.

I admire the way how this man makes presentations. I hope that one day I'll be as good as him!

Great work Capt!

This guy can take over his creative editing and comedy skills and defeat professional ted team in their own video.

How cool that Alan, just an intern is getting his own talks

Nice to see Alen outside his isolation chamber.

Lately I see a lot of videos on Facebook where they put up a situation/trap/a cool recipe but take ten minutes to show every detail and delay the conclusion as long as possible which I find very annoying. Usually one person says what he/she is doing next and the camera person asks ten times back if that REALLY is what the first person is going to do. And at some point they start to tell each other how "awesome" this will be... I also don't like unscripted videos where the maker thinks he will explain things right out of his head but gets into "uhms" all the time because he lost the thread. Timing and quality are just as important as the content, otherwise you will get a boring "lesson" of otherwise interesting stuff. I really like how Captain Disillusion makes his videos and I do think he is the right person for this talk.

Exceptional content. Love me some CD

Won't say the obvious witty jokes repeatedly here at the comments so let me say some very specific things: First of all, great talk. I love a creator who knows so much but at the same can convey those thoughts with people in layman's terms without being preachy or spoonfeeding information. Just learned about CD from Mark Rober (another great youtuber btw) and thought none of him since I like Mark's voice more. (With these informative educational youtubers I really like people with great voice intonation, weird trait but if you're talking about physics and audio visual terms it's nice that you have a good engaging voice to listen too right?) Anyway finishing binge watching MR, I went to CD's channel and went on a rabbit hole (again) and I'm just AMAZED by the quality of the production, the way he explain very technical terms that even I can understand (take note I don't even know how to photoshop 😬). His demographic is not just focused on kids but to people who have the same industry as his as well. That balance that he's talking about, he got it so good. You can tell he knows he's good but he won't be too cocky about it. Just a great educator here on youtube. Sorry for rambling, I 'm glad I saw that squirrel course from MR that lead me to you CD. Keep up the good work and maybe in the near future you won't be underrated anymore. :)

why is it after watching one tedx video, all the recommendations below are nothing BUT tedx videos? whats up, youtube algorithm?

Thanks Captain!

His videos are epic. Alan Melikdjanian.....it never even occurred to me before, that I didin't know his name. He will always be Captain D in my mind.

This CGI actually looks real.

Two words: Thank you.

He is so amazing at speaking!

Brilliant!!!

with his final point that works as long as you're able to have a team that will stay together like a brick house instead of a house of cards there are examples of KZread channels that built themselves on the fact that each person worked on it together or each person attracted certain fans who favored one of the entertainers over the others and kept coming back for them so if one member leaves there's now several (imma mention two) paths the rest of the group can take say its been a good run and announce the channels end or find a replacement the latter brings the problem of if they were one of the entertainers than those who enjoyed the one who left will either leave or hate on the replacement or depending on the situation surrounding the members departure it'll cause back lash at the rest of the group causing it to be nearly impossible to continue the channels videos

Watches him say "look to see if someone already said it" Reads a hundred comments that all make the same joke.

Well, that was a nice talk. It's somewhat informative too, in my case.

the most underrated ted ex'er!

This speech is really underrated!

as a latvian i can admit that it's quite a shame that it is this way, but a large part of latvians don't have a good understanding of English, most aged 30+ don't, and the overwhelming majority aged 50+ don't. that's because only a few years after the 80s began, latvia became once again fully independent for the first time in over 40 years and, being under the USSR prior, English was nowhere near a well known/spoken/used language. only in the past 10 to 15 years, with the boom of the internet, has English become something that's focused more on, and so, only the newer generations understand it to the degree of being able to properly communicate through English like they would in Latvian. what i'm trying to say is, most people in the audience probably couldn't quite understand English that well and therefore missed a lot of the jokes/the punchline wasn't as effective on them. CD, i know this is an old video and therefore this comment is more than just likely not going to be seen by you, but i hope you know that the latvians, that know of you and your nationality, think you're an icon and are very proud of what you've achieved. you've truly done a lot and have even more goals to achieve. this was a great presentation and i wish the best for your future work, i have been watching for 3+ years now and you've taught me a lot, even about the things that i thought i already knew. you're amazing. best of luck to all.

This ted talk is so underrated

That idea of hiding your superpowers to mask your other inabilities is downright genius. I think I'mma have to put that one into practice asap

I wonder how it must’ve been for Alan to go back to Riga (knowing he grew up there for a portion of his childhood). I’m not super surprised that it was a ‘tough crowd’ (which i felt like wasn’t as bad as people made it out to be), and simply is a cultural difference, i think places where people may have expected to be laughter, but werent, isnt because they dont get it or dont find it funny, but are genuenly just trying to listen. I think it went well!
