This video is a humorous critique of the "Doctor Fox Effect", a phenomenon where listeners or readers can be easily misled by a well-structured and scientific-sounding speech or text, even if it contains false or nonsensical information. The video uses the example of a lecture given by an actor, Michael Fox, who was mistaken for a doctor and given a standing ovation despite his lack of knowledge on the subject matter. The video's host, Aleksandr Sokolov, explains that this effect has been used in various contexts, from scientific lectures to conspiracy theories and quackery. He argues that this effect is not limited to actors or non-experts, but can also be used by people in suits who use scientific terms, regardless of their actual knowledge on the subject. The video concludes with a call to always double-check information, especially if it sounds too good to be true or lacks credible sources.
1. The text begins with a scientific phenomenon observed by scientists: performing lifetime ablation of the sciatic nerve increases the amount of basal cells in the cerebrospinal fluid, which improves cognitive skills of patients with sclerosis of the brain's great vessels, a condition frequently causing senility in developed countries. [Source: Document(page_content='00:00:00.38: In our of their latest research our scientists\n00:00:03.17: observed an interesting phenomenon.\n00:00:05.33: It turned out that performing a life-time ablation\n00:00:08.20: of the sciatic nerve significantly increases the\n00:00:11.91: amount of basale cells in the cerebrospinal fluid which\n00:00:15.30: in turn improves cognitive skills\n00:00:17.87: of patients with sclerosis of\n00:00:20.97: the brain\'s great vessels which is a frequent causes of\n00:00:24.35: senility in developed countries.\n00:00:25.95: Also application of this method to young\n00:00:29.64: experimental animals along with neurotomy of the trigeminal nerve\n00:00:32.30: intragastrically allowed to reduce the appearance of\n00:00:35.20: early stages of\n00:00:38.36: cerebral palsy.\n00:00:39.36: Please stop.\n00:00:42.80: Hopefully you were not all ears because\n00:00:44.80: this is not a doctor, he is an actor.\n00:00:47.46: His name is Aleksei and everything he has\n00:00:49.94: just said is a scientific incoherent rambling with made up terms.\n00:00:52.58: I could have let this\n00:00:55.85: speech continue and many of you wouldn\'t have noticed the hidden agenda.\n00:00:56.87: Thank you very much, Aleksei.\n00:00:58.46: In today video I would like to introduce a new rubric\n00:01:01.65: which will be dedicated to cognitive bias,\n00:01:03.88: effects and phenomena.\n00:01:06.54: I would like you to learn as much as possible about the things\n00:01:09.62: I find interesting too.\n00:01:11.30: We will start off by considering my favourite effect which is\n00:01:14.86: the Doctor Fox effect and you will learn how easy it is to be manipulated.\n00:01:17.85: In 1973 scientists from different universities published the results\n00:01:34.40: of the their experiment\n00:01:36.96: The idea behind it is simple.\n00:01:37.96: There was a lecture which chosen people\n00:01:40.32: had to listen to\n00:01:41.48: The scientists invited to participate psychiatrists, psychologists who were\n00:01:44.71: doctors of medicine and doctors of science, teachers,\n00:01:49.00: directors of scientific institution and so on.\n00:01:50.93: They were no ordinary people.\n00:01:53.44: The topic of the lecture was "Mathematical Game Theory as Applied to Physician Education"\n00:01:56.61: as Applied to Physician Education".\n00:01:58.44:
