This is Mark Rober

He spent years building one of the strongest reputations in social media. Loved by tens of millions of followers.

Yesterday he obliterated it all with one 18 minute video

It's a story of greed, deception, and cowardice

Here's the story of what happened:⤵️ Image
Mark, the YouTube sensation with over 65 million subscribers, has thrilled audiences for years with his jaw-dropping physics and tech experiments.

He was the original Mr. Beast before Mr. Beast even existed.

But yesterday, ambition, politics, and greed derailed his once-stellar journey.Image
Mark released a video called "Can You Outsmart a Self-Driving Car?"

The video’s hook is straightforward: unleash a Tesla in Full Self-Driving mode on a road that’s an optical illusion—a wall painted to look like an actual road.

See if the Tesla cameras see the wall and cause the car to stop

Harmless enough right?Image

Your brain has been fooling you your entire life.

This Nobel Prize winner spent 40 years proving it.

Here are the 10 mental traps controlling every decision you make: 🧵 Image
Image
After surviving the Holocaust, Daniel Kahneman became obsessed with understanding human behavior.

Why did some people help Jews while others turned them in?

Why did seemingly rational people make wildly irrational choices?

The answer would take him decades to uncover.
In 1969, Kahneman met Amos Tversky.

Together, they discovered our brains operate in two distinct modes.

They called them 'System 1' and 'System 2.'

This discovery would revolutionize economics, psychology, and how we understand human behavior.
