The Day We Made Frankenstein’s Monster
When Everett Knowles hitched a ride on a Boston train, he expected to make it home in a few minutes. But the result was the final leg of a medical history journey more than 30,000 years in the making when Eddy Knowles’ doctors turned tragedy into a medical miracle. The path from accident to surgery…

How to Make a YouTube Video in 1987
Decades before software like Premiere and iMovie made video editing cheap, easy, and accessible for everyone, the only option was chaining a conglomerate of vintage 80s technology – multiple camcorders or VCRs and a TV – to craft custom analog video. Then the Videonics system changed tech history forever. With professional-grade setups costing up to…

The $68 Million Instant Movie Disaster (Polavision)
Nearly 50 years ago, the Polavision camera blended Polaroid’s revolutionary instant film with on-demand home video – and the result was a landmark advance in analog technology that would become a mystery of science and a winding international journey into vintage tech. Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and…

I have a theory:
Micheal originally started the channel as a job, it was supposed to be a gaming channel, that fell through after a while. (That part is fact)
My theory is that Michael had originally intended to use the channel as a springboard to get into mainstream media, but as the channel grew larger the closest opportunity he ever got was Mind Field (which was sponsored by youtube as a part of the YouTube Red experiment, also it was shot and edited like a discovery channel show) and Mind Field was canceled by YouTube when Red fell through. I don’t think he ever sought out becoming a science communicator, I think he just used science communicator as his way of exposing himself to different platforms.
But that’s just my theory.

The fact that all the doctors, surgeons and nurses knew that the conditions were perfect and decided to perform the first surgery of its kind is mind boggling to think about. I can just imagine them seeing the state of the arm, looking at each other and being like “Team, it’s showtime”

Kevin’s focus on the utter impossibility of what he’s saying without discrediting the human elements required to make it all happen the exact way that it does…it reminds me of how close I’ve come to not being here. But I still am. I’m still here because some guy decided that pushing on a chest a certain way is a thing to do. Because someone realized that electric energy effects living tissue. Because someone mixed some chemicals for whatever reason. Because people mucked around, studied, tried, failed, and died to develop CPR, defibrillation, and medication.
Today might not be the perfect day. But through a cascading string of impossibility brought about by humans never giving up, I’m here to see it.
And that’s truly beautiful.

It is mind blowing how nowadays I just hear in the news that you should always bring amputated members to the hospital, if possible in ice to try reattaching them. It is just something they commonly do in hospitals nowadays.

This is… so many levels of miraculous. Both for our boy who survived and got his arm mostly back, but for all of modern medicine. And seriously, he went home after THREE WEEKS from the first ARM REATTACHMENT surgery, somewhat before we had a lot of the breakthroughs we currently have for inpatient or outpatient care and recovery, physical therapy, rehab, etc.? And he was PLAYING BASEBALL AND WORKING ON CARS and managed to go until his 60s? Just, so much luck aligning in just the right way.
@PrinceAlhorian
April 23, 2024 at 5:24 am
A miracle is something that by all reason should not be able to happen, but then due to a seeming coincidental series of events and people, happen anyway.
The Apollo project lands men on the moon with science and machines mostly hand designed and built. The Mets making history in 1969 becoming the first expansion team to win a division title, a pennant, and the World Series. The Berlin Wall coming down due to a slip of the tongue, causing the collapse of the Soviet Union, ending the Cold War… And Eddie Spaghetti keeping his right arm.

There is debate over the missing fingers cave paintings. The fingers might not be missing but rather, the fingers are bent under into the hand. It’s just like the missing finger trick we all can do by bending our fingers down and attaching the other finger from the other hand to create an illusion. The cave paintings are not proof of missing digits. But I’m sure cavepeople lost fingers a lot due to accidents or even fighting with each other. I could see one caveperson biting off another caveperson’s fingers.

In addition to being a remarkable medical advancement, this story is also a great example of how critical a good sense of community can be for kids in dangerous situations. If he’d been raised on a mantra of ‘stranger danger’ and hadn’t talked to the stranger who asked him what was wrong, he might not have even made it home alive. Same on the side of the man, if he was worried people might assume some malign motive from talking to a random boy walking nearby and hadn’t said anything. Because they didn’t have that ambient fear that modern communication tech combined with the natural human lack of a capacity to judge risks accurately has created, this entire local community came to this boys aid. He sounds like he lived as a valued member of his community from beginning to end, a really beautiful human story.

21:18 Yes, countless variables came together in just the right way to lead to that result, otherwise he’d have had one arm or died or never have been injured in the first place. But that’s true of EVERYTHING. Near-infinite variables led to his birth in the first place. The same goes for everyone who ever existed. This isn’t special. It’s not a miracle. It’s just the timeline that played out. Think of the countless number of things that have, or more to the point, have NOT occurred. This is just how it is. 🤷
