hey welcome thank you so much for
clicking on this video
but why did you click on this video not
even 10 seconds ago you were mindlessly
scrolling through your YouTube feed and
then you saw this title in thumbnail and
something in your brain had to know what
it was about so you clicked
but what was that something in your
brain seriously tell me I might get my
click rates up but for real though we’ve
got a motor cortex a visual cortex and
AIO
cortex but where did decisions come from
that question got a lot more complicated
in the 1960s when a new surgery started
being performed on people with extreme
epilepsy it was called a corpus
callosotomy or split brain surgery yeah
try to guess what they do yeah they
split the brain in half of course the
brain is already pretty much split in
half between the left and right
hemispheres but they’re connected at the
bottom by a bundle of fibers called the
Corpus kosum so yeah they just kind
of cut those fibers this made it so the
two halves of the brain couldn’t
communicate with each other which sounds
like it would be a huge problem um but
believe it or not they went on to live
normal lives this surgery didn’t change
people’s personalities or ability to
function but there were some kind of
weird things that came out of it you
know things like their left hand would
start drawing something and they didn’t
know
why it’s like there was something in
their right hemisphere that was trying
to communicate there were kind of like
two different people in there so if
that’s the case the question becomes
which one of those two entities are you
know running
things the subject of split brain
experiments has come up from time to
time on this channel but I don’t think
I’ve ever really done a full video on it
so I decided to do one because this
topic is one of those things that just
really caused this shift in like how I
see the world how I see other people um
how I see myself and it came from a book
that I’ll be sourcing quite a bit in
this video and I highly suggest you read
it uh it’s called who’s in charge by the
neuroscientist Dr Michael Gaga taking
tropus notes as you can see he did
pioneering work on split brain patients
in the 60s and 70s he’s written several
books about it done TED Talks I’ll link
it all below but the reason this book
speaks to me if I may I don’t know get a
little personal for a second I I’ve kind
of always had this theory that there’s
different gnomes in my head obviously I
don’t think that actual garden gnomes
are living inside my
skull that’s
crazy but like most people I imagine I
do have kind of kind of different voices
in my head that have thoughts that
Bubble Up from time to time some of
which I don’t even agree with I call it
a defense mechanism call it a
rationalization of bad ideas or whatever
but that was kind of my way of
explaining why I sometimes had
conflicting ideas or had troubl making a
decision um or like the negative
thoughts that kind of take over
sometimes that’s that’s the negative
gnome taking the wheel not much unlike
the world they created in the movie
Inside Out which I just saw for the
first time uh fairly recently and I’ve
got to say like the way that they
structure that world inside of her head
to explain how memories work and
emotions work um I thought it was
brilliant something else I liked about
the movie was that the stakes were so
small but it still felt like a big thing
like the the climax of this movie is a
little girl telling her parents that
she’s sad and it carried more emotional
weight than all these movies were like
the world ending is at stake you know
anyway the point is that this book and
the split brain experiments that he
talks about in this book seemed to make
the argument that my little gnomes
explanation for how my thoughts work
isn’t too far off the
mark and that Free Will and
Consciousness is Just an Illusion
there’s a lot to unpack here so maybe we
could start by asking the obvious
question which is why were they cutting
people’s brains in half again yeah it’s
a procedure called a corpus colotomy and
they started doing it first back in the
1940s as kind of a last resort treatment
for severe epilepsy here’s how it works
when you have a seizure what happens is
that there’s a surge of electrical
signal that disrupts the normal firing
of neurons across the brain depending on
where this occurs in the brain you’ll
experience different symptoms for
example an ocular seizure might give you
a a flash of light but the worst of
course are the ones that spread over the
entire brain these can lead to Temporary
paralysis and convulsions vomiting
basically everything you think of when
you hear the word seizure and in people
who get these multiple times a day to
the point that they can’t even function
normally and no treatments seem to stop
it well the best option is to just
contain it so the Corpus callosotomy is
done to prevent the signals from
spreading to the entire brain so it
stays in whatever h Spirit started in
kind like a surge protector the First
Corpus callosotomy was done in 1936 by a
neurosurgeon named Walter Dandy uh kind
of on accident he was removing a tumor
on a patient’s pineal gland and it
required him to cut through the Corpus
kosum to get to it he reported that this
had no real effect on his patient which
there had been a debate for a long time
about what the Corpus kosum was actually
for like was it actually involved in
processing or was it just structural
just kind of there to hold the brain
together um the result of this experim
expent seem to suggest the latter
regardless in 1940 William P van wagen
and decided to try a corpus colotomy on
an epilepsy patient and he saw mixed
results at first but they were promising
enough to continue experimenting with it
by the way this is all starting to sound
kind of familiar all of this happened
about the same time as the labotomy
which I I covered fairly recently this
was basically the period of Neuroscience
when they started paying attention to
the white matter fibers and cutting
connections just to see what would
happen I should be clear though while
the btoes were being handed out like
candies split brain surgeries were much
more extreme and pretty controversial at
the time actually this was only for
people with a very specific very
debilitating condition and even then it
was only a last resort it really wasn’t
until the 60s when two neuroscientists
named Joseph Bogen and Philip vogle kind
of perfected the procedure and it became
thought of as an effective safe
treatment but not without a few weird
side effects like sometimes they had
trouble getting their two hands to work
together um one patient talked about how
he had trouble buttoning his shirt
because he’d be buttoning it up with one
hand and then his other hand would would
go up behind it and unbutton everything
that he had just buttoned and stories
like this just kept coming up like
patients whose hands would just grab
things for no reason or or would mess
with the other hand um to the point that
Joseph Bogan decided probably somebody
should research this luckily he knew
just the perfect person to do this a
neuropsychologist named Roger Sperry
Roger sper was born and raised in
Hartford Connecticut and went to overlin
college on a scholarship where he
originally wanted to major in English uh
but he took an intro to psychology class
that sparked an interest in Psychology
yeah The Story Goes that apparently his
Professor was disabled so Roger sper
kind of helped him to to get around and
took him to various places and stuff so
he wound up kind of sitting in on
conversations that this professor was
having with his colleagues uh talking
about their research debating different
psychological theories and whatnot and
he just got sucked into it he just found
it fascinating so he got his master’s
degree in Psychology and later a PhD
from the University of Chicago and then
he went into his career he became more
interested in neuronal specificity in
brain circuitry basically like how
different parts of the brain work and
how they’re connected did experiments on
rats and salamanders and involved kind
of rewiring their nerves like in their
legs and their eyes to see if they could
adjust um spoiler alert they couldn’t
but through all of his research he kind
of became known as an expert and how
different parts of the brain uh work and
how they talk to each other so of course
Bogan thought that he would be just the
right guy to study split brain patience
and of course sper took him up on it
because what an amazing opportunity he
did also do some experiments on animals
before he went into his human research I
know none of us like to hear about
animal experiments but he did do some
Corpus colos odies on some cats and
tested them luckily he didn’t have to do
the surgery on the split brain patients
CU well that had already been done so SP
found a group of Bogan patients that
were willing to volunteer for his tests
which focus on Vision language and motor
skills this would involve showing words
or images to the left or right visual
fields to see how the different
hemispheres handled
it this requires some explanation as you
may already know the hemispheres are
what they call contralateral meaning the
left hemisphere controls the right side
of the body and the right hemisphere the
left side of the body um also known by
its technical term crisscross applesauce
but your eyes are a little bit weirder
it’s not quite as simple as just each
eye goes to the opposite hemisphere they
they go to both hemispheres at the same
time what happens is the two optic
nerves converge at a spot known as the
optic Chasm and there they split apart
with one split carrying the left visual
field and the other one carrying the
right visual field and then the left
visual field from both eyes gets sent to
the right Hemisphere and the right
visual field from both eyes gets sent to
the left hemisphere so it’s still
controlateral but with extra steps so if
you’re staring at my face right now Zoe
is in your right visual field you’re
seeing her blessing you with both eyes
but it’s the left side of the brain
that’s processing that image your right
hemisphere literally can’t see Zoe right
now but it knows she’s there because the
left side sharing that information
through the Corpus kosum but what if you
don’t have a Corpus kosum this is what
Roger sper wanted to figure out so he
came up with a series of tests along
with his graduate student Michael Gaga
the guy who wrote this book sorry I just
have to clarify one one more thing
before I get into the results of that
test um a lot of the basic functioning
of the body takes place in What’s called
the subcortical region this is an area
that’s actually shared by both
hemispheres of the brain this includes
structures like the thalamus the
hippocampus the amydala and a lot of
other things that you probably never
heard of but these kind of handle the
basic stuff like motor control sensory
processing um something they call
proprioceptive sense which is basically
our sense of our body’s position in
space so that’s handled before
everything gets split up there’s no one
hemisphere that controls that this also
includes what Dr Gaga calls an
integrated spatial attention system
which is basically something that
directs where the brain pays attention
to things so uh it’s not like you could
be doing homework with one side of your
brain and gaming with the other side of
the brain that’d be nice though anyway I
know that was a lot of exposition but
it’s just all stuff you kind of need to
know before we get into the good stuff
so here comes the good stuff so one of
the first patients that they studied was
a man named WJ um they kept their names
Anonymous for obvious reasons wj’s test
started out pretty simple they showed
him pict and words in a right visual
field and then he was able to respond
with his left hemisphere a dog a car a
spoon easy easy because The Language
Center is on the left side of your brain
but when they showed an image in his
left visual field that went to his right
side of the brain he claimed that there
was nothing there now this was a really
big moment because up to this point
there was still a bit of a debate around
how much the Corpus kosum controlled the
flow of information between the two
hemispheres and this seemed to be
indisputable proof because it wasn’t
that the right hemisphere spere couldn’t
see the object they could see it just
fine it’s that The Language Center of
the brain is in the left hemisphere so
it literally didn’t have the words to
describe it so based off of this they
tried a new experiment uh this time with
a basic flashing light so what they did
was they put his hands under a barrier
so his eyes couldn’t see his hands and
he gave each hand a button and he told
him whenever he saw a flash of light to
click the button and then confirm it
verbally by saying light so they
signaled his left hemisphere he clicked
the button he said light then they
signaled his right hemisphere he clicked
the button and then said hey why did I
click that button he didn’t see the
light but the right hemisphere did and
it was able to communicate that it did
it just couldn’t do it with language
it’s kind of like the left hemisphere
has a voice and the right doesn’t but
now they were figuring out how to talk
to the right
Hemisphere and now things get a lot more
interesting these kind of results bore
themselves out over and over and over
again with other split brain patients as
well like in one experiment the left
hand was placed in a box a handful of
objects in it and then they flash an
image of the object in the right
Hemisphere and the left hand was able to
feel around and and pick out the right
object when they asked the patient why
he grabbed that object of course he had
no idea and sometimes a patient could
just draw the image for example they
flashed an image of a bike at the right
hemisphere of one patient and then his
left hand drew a bike but think about
the experience that the patient is
having he’s he’s just sitting there he’s
got a pencil in his left hand and he’s
waiting for them to flash an image at
him and he’s
waiting and then his left hand just
draws a bike these experiments would
progress and become more complex over
time and they begin to understand just
how different their left and right
brains really are you know how we always
talk about left brain people being
analytical and right brain people being
more creative that whole thing well
here’s how the two hemispheres are
actually different basically the right
hemisphere was better with Visual and
spatial skills and the left hemisphere
was good with language like you
described an experiment where the
patient was flashed a picture of a a
pattern of colored blocks and then he
had to recreate it and when they flashed
the right hemisphere the left hand was
able to recreate it really easily so the
right hemisphere was really good at that
but when they did that with the left
brain the right hand just it really
struggled with it in fact there’s one
story of a patient who was struggling to
put it together with his right hand and
his left hand kept trying to help he had
to actually sit on his left hand to keep
it from trying to help the right hand
out to solve the problem according to Dr
gag a quote the right hemisphere turned
out to be specialized for such tasks as
recognizing upright faces focusing
attention and making perceptual distin
the left hemisphere was the intellectual
it specialized in language speech and
intelligent Behavior there were also
differences in logic and problem solving
between the hemispheres like they show
the right hemisphere a picture of water
and the guy would point to a picture of
water then they show the picture of a
pan and the guy would point to a picture
of a pan but when they asked what they
could do with those two items the right
hemisphere just couldn’t quite figure
that out whereas the left hemisphere
knew right away that you put the water
on the pan the right hemisphere also
struggled to come up with inferences
like in another experiment they showed a
picture of a match and then a picture of
a wood pile and they couldn’t quite
figure out that the next image in that
series should be a burning wood pile and
in another experiment the patient was
shown the letter U and asked to turn it
into a square using a choice of shapes
and the right brain couldn’t do it but
the left brain had no problem like the r
brain is very literal things just are
what they are um he uses the example of
a box of candy so like if somebody gave
you a box of candy your right brain
would just be like yes that is a box of
candy but your left brain will try to
figure out out why they gave you a box
of candy what this means is that both
halves of the brain are experiencing
Consciousness but very different kinds
of Consciousness as Dr Gaga puts it
quote it was becoming apparent that the
right hemisphere had its own Rich mental
life quite different from that of the
left so right away we can see that
there’s not just one Consciousness going
on inside our minds there’s
two but it actually gets crazier turns
out um it’s actually multiple modules
inside each of the hemispheres that can
display a
kind of
Consciousness and they have their own
things to say so remember earlier when I
was talking about um you know trying to
imagine what it must be like for these
split brain patients when their left
hand just kind of randomly does
something beyond their control how weird
that must be well U Spar and gag uh were
wondering the same thing so they began
developing tests to see how patients
explain these actions like the left
brain normally has a gigabit internet
connection with the right they’re
sharing everything but now it can only
get information from seeing what the
brain does exter internally from the
from the pictures that it points to and
the words that it writes and whatnot and
if the left brain is more interpretive
in wired defined
patterns what would it interpret from
that turns out a lot so in one
experiment a patient was shown a chicken
claw to his left hemisphere in a snow
scene to his right he was then asked to
choose a picture that related to what he
was shown so his right hand pointed to a
picture of a chicken which obviously
makes sense because the guy saw a
chicken foot but then his left hand
pointed to a shovel which makes sense
because his original picture was a snow
scene
but he didn’t consciously see the snow
scene so when they asked him why he
selected that shovel he said quote Oh
that’s simple the chicken claw goes with
the chicken and you need a shovel to
clean out the chicken shed the left
hemisphere without hesitation came up
with a justification for what the right
hemisphere chose it didn’t say I don’t
know which would have been the correct
answer it didn’t say well maybe it’s
this I’m just guessing no it it
confidently declared chicken poop and
this was a result that repeated itself
over and over and over again in another
example the word music was FL to the
left brain and a photo of a bell was
flashed at the right brain he was then
given several images to choose from
these images were all musical
instruments by the way uh including the
Bell so the patient acknowledged that
he’d read the word music with his
speaking left brain and then his left
hand controlled by his right brain
picked the Bell image when asked why he
picked the Bell over all the other
musical instruments the patient said
quote well the last time I heard any
music was the bells banging outside here
there was a church across the street
again the left brain having absolutely
no idea that the right brain had seen a
B confidently came up with the
justification one more example of this
was an experiment where they flashed the
word red to his left hemisphere and the
image of a banana to his right
hemisphere he was then asked to draw a
picture with his left hand out of an
assortment of different colored pencils
so he picked the red pencil and he drew
a banana but when they asked him why he
drew a banana he said quote it was the
easiest to draw with his hand because
this hand can pull down easier which by
the way makes absolutely no sense but
that’s what The Interpreter came up with
and this was the name that they gave it
by the way they call it the interpreter
module they also found the inter modu
hard at work explaining emotional
triggers so for example in one
experiment they showed the right
hemisphere a scene from a fire safety
video where a guy gets pushed into a
fire and the patient just reported that
she only saw a white flash but then
afterwards she noticed a change in her
mood she said quote I don’t really know
why but I’m kind of scared I feel jumpy
I think maybe I don’t like this room or
maybe it’s you you’re getting me nervous
in another experiment with a female
patient they uh flashed the picture of a
pinup girl to her right Hemisphere and
then without knowing why she kind of
snickered little and when they asked her
why she was laughing she said that they
had a funny machine like have you ever
had a a random mood change like suddenly
you just get angry or sad and you don’t
know
why there’s stuff going on in there and
in case you haven’t noticed in every
single one of these examples The
Interpreter module was wrong often
confidently wrong it got limited amount
of information and assumed it knew
everything about
it might as well call it the dun and
Krueger module and yet this module is
kind of running the
brain or at least navigating our
thoughts it’s further testing revealed
that The Interpreter module is just one
of multiple modules in the brain all of
them kind of black boxes like we don’t
really know how they make their choices
but they make choices and then The
Interpreter module justifies it like for
example fmri tests showed that different
areas of the brain would light up before
a conscious decision was made to say
take an action or to say something that
was a decision being made before the
decision was made this is basically how
we live our lives just walking around
justifying the decisions and thoughts
that pop into our heads from various
random semiconscious modules in our
skull this fact has been such a
revelation for me
because I don’t really think of my
thoughts and my actions as me doing it
anymore you know I I mean yes it’s me
I’ll get to the theory of mind around it
in just a second but it’s a lot easier
to look at your thoughts and beliefs
objectively if you if you don’t think of
it as being part of you like when I have
a thought that comes up I don’t know
where it came from so I can just ignore
it if I don’t like it uh you know it’s
not tied into my sense of self my ideas
aren’t my identity and it’s a lot easier
to change your mind on something if you
don’t have it tied to your identity also
once I understood that our brains are
just constantly justifying things just
justification machines basically I find
myself often just kind of pausing and
asking myself like what am I justifying
right
now usually when I’m procrastinating on
work like here’s a crazy thing that we
do have you ever noticed like that you
felt anger or annoyance at someone after
you’ve hurt them in some way
um I mean like like we we’ve all done it
we hurt people’s feelings we failed to
live up to a promise betrayed someone it
happens that’s life but there’s a
psychological phenomenon that happens
where like we know we hurt someone and
we feel bad about it but then that
justification module kicks in and just
sees that you know you feel bad and it
has something to do with that guy well
that guy must have done something wrong
and then you end up feeling resentment
toward the person that you hurt which is
crazy but we all do it we are constantly
justifying bad behavior and bad habit
and the service of comfort or protection
or just a dopamine hit that’s normal it
makes us human but the awareness of
it can kind of change your life but the
other mind-blowing part of it gets into
questions of free will like what is
actually controlling our decisions there
are some that make the argument that
this disproves free will that our
decisions are made by patterns of
neurons firing in a predetermined manner
that we’re not even consciously aware of
our decisions at all these guys call
themselves deter mins taken to an
extreme one might make the argument that
nobody can be held accountable for their
actions at all because they weren’t the
ones that made the decision to take that
action yeah seriously try that in a
court to law it doesn’t work and this
obviously can also be used by people who
justify bad behavior because well I’m
not the one who chose to do it obviously
this is a bit of a a philosophical
slippery slope like you know how do you
have Justice and accountability in the
world if there’s no free
will but also how can you have free will
when your decisions aren’t your own to
find an answer to this we we have to go
a little bit deeper into the nature of
Consciousness itself it’s time to talk
about emergence theory in Dr Gaga’s book
he talks about the quantum world and how
it operates on vastly different rules
from the macro World we’ve talked about
it here on this channel a million times
but these atoms and subatomic particles
that just don’t play at all in the
Newtonian or even einsteinian rules that
we experience um they mostly exist in
probability States actually they managed
to come together and combined to make
physical matter the a you’re breathing
the chair you’re on the the building
around you even yourself this is
emergence Theory the idea that objects
in one system can combine to create
something entirely different in another
system and gagaa talks about two forms
of emergence strong and weak emergence
he explains quote there are two schools
of thought on emergence in Weak
emergence the two properties arise as a
result of interactions at an elemental
level and the emergent property is
reducible to its individual components
that is you can figure out the steps
from one level to the next which would
be the deterministic view whereas in
strong emergence the new property is
irreducible it’s more than the sum of
its parts and because of the
amplification of random events the laws
cannot be predicted by an underlying
fundamental Theory or form an
understanding of the laws of another
level of organization an example that’s
always used of emergence is how like
millions of individual ants with very
basic programming can come together and
and build giant ant colonies that are
basically superorganisms with
organization and structures that would
be impossible for any one ant to
conceptualize one could draw the same
conclusion about people like forming
cities or people forming the internet
but our brains work the same way
actually we have a few different levels
of emergence we have the atoms combining
together to make the organic molecules
that comprise of neurons you have the
neurons firing in patterns that create
this you know subconscious module that’s
going on in your head and then you have
the multiple modules coordinating to
create our lived experience of
Consciousness actually it’s kind of
funny I’ve talked about octopuses in the
past on here and how they have this
seemingly alien form of intelligence
where they essentially have nine brains
because each arm has a little
mini brain controlling it with an
executive brain that sort of manages all
of it uh it’s like a hierarchical brain
system that I’ve always thought was
fascinating cuz like it’s hard for us to
even conceptualize that but it turns out
in a lot of ways our brains work pretty
much the same way we have multiple
semiconscious modules that coordinate at
times and jockey for position at times
with an executive justifier module that
takes in all their signals and tries to
make sense of it and again determinists
would look at this and say that it’s all
pre-wiring we have no conscious control
over it we are basically that guy from
Men In Black with the Christopher
walking looking alien in its head drink
the
coffee so yeah our feeling of free
choice and agency over our actions is a
bit of an
illusion except hold on that doesn’t
make sense does it if our thoughts and
actions are hardwired and controlled by
some wizard behind the curtain then how
do we explain
neuroplasticity how do we learn new
skills how do we get better with
practice the fact is according to the
book anyway Consciousness is a result of
both bottom up and top down causation we
are simultaneously making decisions on a
subconscious level but also shaping
those decisions at a conscious level it
is possible it’s not easy but it’s
possible to change a pattern of negative
thinking by being aware of it and
replacing negative thoughts with
positive thoughts we do have to various
degrees conscious control over our
emotions and thoughts in Dr Gaga’s words
quote action is made up of complimentary
components arising from within and from
without that is how the machine the
brain Works thus the idea of downward
causation may be confusing our
understanding what is going on is the
match between our everpresent multiple
mental States and the impinging
contextual forces within which it
functions our interpreter then claims we
freely made a choice I guess to put the
question of whether we have upward or
downward causation in simpler terms
maybe both is happening at the same time
so do we have free
will yes and no a lot of our decisions
it seems are hardwired and out of our
control but ultimately we do have
conscious control over our actions we do
have agency this isn’t a get out of jail
free card sadly if you want to commit a
crime and get away with it you’re going
to have to do it the oldfashioned way be
rich anyway there’s a lot more in this
book that I couldn’t F this video it
goes on into how our brains work um
socially how we have mirror neurons that
cause us to mimic other people
subconsciously it’s a fascinating book
and definitely worth to read I’ll put a
link down in the description but again
for me there’s there’s actually
something kind of freeing about the idea
that there’s a lot going on up there
that I don’t have control of um I don’t
have to beat myself up for my thoughts
I’m able to give myself a little Grace
when I mess up um it’s just a much
better head space for me yeah ironically
the idea that I’m not totally in control
is is kind of freeing it it it gives me
objectivity and it makes me a lot less
reactive I I truly believe that my life
has been made better by having this
understanding and that’s why I talk
about it so much that’s why I made this
video because I genuinely think it can
help you too and even at a societal
level like if everybody had this
understanding I think we would be a lot
better to ourselves and we’d be a lot
better to each other something else I
can honestly say has made my life better
is developing new personal hygiene
habits specifically when I stopped using
cartridge razors and started shaving
with this bad boy the Hinson Razer so
here’s the deal if you were born after
1970 chances are you never actually used
this kind of Razor you probably used one
of these cartridge razors and that’s
because right around that time shaven
companies um
started scamming us that’s right I said
scam they realized that the real money
is in the blades so if they sold you a
handle for next to nothing they could
jack up the prices of the Blades by
claiming their special magical devices
that can shave your face better than the
other guys blades so they started adding
more and more gimmicks to the cartridges
it started with two and then three
blades I think we’re up to five or six
blades now with a lubricating strip and
a bristle brush and Bluetooth connection
and GPS navigation I’m exaggerating but
you you get the point they keep hyping
up these new Innovations which are
really just reasons to raise the price
even further cartrid blades are like $2
to4 now and the best part is they don’t
even work very well cuz the blades are
just kind of loose and flexible which
means they’ kind of Bounce and Skip
across the surface of your skin
producing what professionals call
chatter but what you and I might call
this leads to skin irritation and razor
burn which we’ve all just kind of
learned to accept at this point here’s
how Henson fixes that they use a basic
two-sided blades that only cost 10 cents
each but they support them all the way
across at a depth of just 27 microns
that’s point 0016 in thinner than a
human hair this constant support all the
way across the blade prevents it from
skipping and bouncing on your skin and
the perfect 30° angle gives it the
optimum contact with the skin to get the
closest shave yeah the Precision of the
engineering on this thing is kind of
absurd they’re actually made in a
machine shop that produces Aerospace
parts so they’re designed to be insanely
accurate seriously the guys who make
this razor have machine parts for the
Mars perseverance Rover they made stuff
that’s on Mars right now the best part
is the blades are cheap they’re totally
recyclable so you won’t be dumping a
bunch of plastic waste in your landfill
even the razor itself is aluminum so if
for some reason you decide you don’t
want it anymore even that can be
recycled cost-wise they flip the entire
razor model on its head so instead of
making a cheap basic handle and then
charging out the Wazoo for you know the
rest of your life you pay a little front
for the razor and then the blades are
super cheap after that literally 10
cents each you make back the money you
spend on the handle in like 6 months and
after that you’re literally saving money
forever in fact if you go to hints and
shaving decom and throw 100 pack of
blades on your order then into the code
shaving with Joe at checkout you’ll get
those blades for free 100 blades totally
free and you can get like five to seven
shaves out of each blade so yeah just do
the math on how long those blades will
last you seriously I’ve been using
Hinson for a couple of years now and I’m
maybe a quarter of the way through the
box that’s in my bathroom right now um
you literally won’t pay another dime on
shaving for a couple of years after
buying H and razor it’s just it’s just a
much smarter Choice So speaking to
