@@Miralitycool.

I feel that this video was built in a standard essay format. It certainly resembles it a lot. Just oversimplified for time.

Ummm... 1. the idea is you can loop it there. It makes a perfect loop as the first sentence is an answer to that question. 2. it's not us, the ones who have watched the video, asking that question, but the thing inventor inventor.

I love it, actually. It makes me laugh every time they check it. I've not seen one single person react to this who realized what it was doing.

My connection actually broke at that exact time on this video. Plus the buffering circle was perfectly camouflaged in the white background. I burst out laughing.

The american indenpendecy is directly linked to the french revolution, it's common sense. We learn that in school

​@@umi2751All wars are directly linked to all other wars, so that's not saying much. Either by interwar circumstances like the WW1 and WW2, or direct wartime actions like how Britain annoyed the US during the Napoleonic Wars, which led to the US declaring war.

@@umi2751 Big talks about common sense when your education system sucks so hard that black people don't know shit about slavery and blame white people for inventing it. I can assure you that 90% of Americans are completely oblivious about stuff that is teached in school everywhere else. You only learn that in school because it's supposed to invoke patriotism in children - which is basically everything the American education is there for - indoctrination.

He also documented/discovered the "tradewinds" and the "westerlies" that made voyages back and forth to the Americas from Europe much more predictable and safe, and thus profitable.

Maybe he just studied the accounts and maps of the several other European explorers that went to North America over the previous half a millennium

What other European explorers do you speak of that went before Columbus? I guess the Portuguese could have made trips back and forth, but if so, they do not seem to have told anyone. The Norse did not use the tradewinds or westerlies, as far as I know...their voyages were much more against the prevailing currents and winds, which is probably a big reason why they did not make repeat voyages.

@@iKvetch558 not many repeat voyages may have been attempted but we tend to underestimate how well known those voyages were back then. There is some evidence that those stories were being spread in Italy around the time Columbus was alive. Regardless, substantiating any histoical claim from that long ago is difficult because for every scrap of evidence that survived there is likely much much more that didn't. But I'll admit my biases here. I despise our celebration of Columbus and how our history ignores what kind of person he was. He may have had some expertise but clearly his calculations of the earths size was wrong. He was a brutal dude and even his own family despised him for his cruelty.

@@blakec8549 I definitely will not fault your biases, or argue against your calling out his brutality. Of course, the biggest harm he did...the spreading of European diseases to those who had no defenses against them... he had no real idea about, but you are obviously not wrong about the evils he perpetrated intentionally.

maybe there was another major tin deposit, but got depleted so quickly that it didn't leave a trace?

@@jokitalinda10 Very well could've been, but if it would've been depleted so quickly after the ability to work with it was developed then it wasn't very big and therefore wouldn't have been significant enough to go down in history like the other two. For example, Cyprus was the main supplier of tin for the Bronze Age Civilizations around the Eastern Mediterranean. It had a lot, but at the height of the Bronze Age it simply didn't have enough, hence the demand for tin from places as far away as Britain and Afghanistan. There were some small-time tin mines in places like Spain, but most mining done there was for silver, because Spain is (was) positively silver rich. Silver was so concentrated in Spain that when Carthage lost to Rome in the First Punic War, the Barcid dynasty went to Spain to conquer all the silver mines to pay off both their mercenaries AND the war reparations owed to Rome, and _still_ had enough money to be so rich they basically privately-funded their own campaigns during the Second Punic War.

i dont think it was intentional

Thank you!

strange. I didn't like that about the video. I feel like he should have paused more and shared opinions on what he thought more. Make the content transformative rather than just showing it uninterrupted in it's entirety. It's almost at the point where he just aped someone else's content. I don't believe he's doing it maliciously, but it wasn't transformative imo.

@@ghastlypompano2 it is informative, that's what i think, but the video about earth isn't far off so why would he feel the need to "correct" something that doesn't need it? sure maybe someone like you is just looking for a more detailed explanation on how things work in that video he reacted to, but you're not gonna get that bro, at the end of the day he is "reacting" to the video, not explaining it in every detail on how everything works, and tbh he is informing but also reacting, this is a reaction video not a breakdown video. I mean you can easily search a breakdown of this video if there even is one.

Thanks so much!

I'm curious, can you give an example of a connection you were able to make by watching this video that you hadn't made previously?

@@RobinClaassenthat the sun is a deadly laser

perfectly explained how I feel about this video

​@@RobinClaassenkinda late, but one realisation I made watching this video at least 30 times is that the Empire of China and the Roman Empire existed in the same time frame for some time and probably knew of each other thanks to the Silk Road. This made me search about it more in depth and discovered they even gave "nicknames" to each other (forgot what the were nicknames tho). Despite this, I don't think there was any "official" diplomats contact.

Yeah, it'd be dang near impossible because the materials and tools required to develop those power sources would require a more readily accessed power source to develop. Coal and oil are a lot easier to work with on industrial scales than wind or solar. You'd need to have already gone through an industrial revolution to even *get* nuclear power. That's basically how all technological development goes. We went with bronze before iron because bronze is easier to work with even though iron is more common.

Oh, definitely. Especially if coal had as much bad PR as nuclear does right now.

@@brigidtheirish That's fair. But I think they're be real potential if you could prove environmental damage and show what green energy could look like. Instead of 200 years of dirty energy we could have done the bare minimum amount of coal and oil before immediately beginning the process of transitioning to a cleaner source of energy. Instead Big Coal and Oil got their hooks into society. Now we are struggling to transition even though we have the technology and the knowledge. Just telling the world during the industrial revolution could have changed the mindset of the world to view coal and oil as only temporary boosts rather than an indefinite power source.

@@brigidtheirish reminds me of a sci-fi book I read where a civilization that had a very advanced understanding of physics/technology, and was able to use this knowledge to help a primitive civilization "skip" some of those steps in natural technological development. The main plot point related to this is that they taught them to make radio communication devices without needing traditional electronics (instead using some quantum mechanical effect that's easy to take advantage of, even with primitive tools).

@@vibaj16 Interesting. Did the book go into the possible negative consequences of skipping steps? Because quite a few places on Earth are dealing with being yanked through technological development without the chance to make the accompanying social changes.

Yup

Talking is reacting. I actually like when people pause. A lot of people will try to say something over the video, and you see them miss stuff because of it. That's way more frustrating. If you're trying to watch the original video uninterrupted, a reaction video is the wrong place to do that.

why are u watching a reaction video then just watch the original gee

But pausing and offering more context, content or opinions is what you're supposed to do. Otherwise you're just stealing content. Watch the original if you want to watch that video uninterrupted.

Dang

It's a conspiracy theory joke I'm pretty sure

If you really wanted to do a true World History course that doesn't have a particular "-centric" label attached in an education system where history isn't the only course being taught (that's just being solely a history major), I can guarantee that covering World History is next to impossible.

Another part of the problem is people thinking that the theory of evolution by natural selection asserts humans evolved from monkeys. I think it's important to be clear that humans and monkeys evolved from a very distant common ancestor.

On your point about starting off with nuclear, solar, and wind energy during the industrial revolution, the issue I see is that the energy yield possible from these sources at the time was significantly less than that available from fossil fuels. I mean we'd been using wind and water power for mills for a long time, but figuring out how to use it to generate electricity and power homes and land transportation was, I think, a bit beyond us back then.

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

That's really interesting, where would one find his list of generals, including the one he probably mentioned but was "misinterpreted"

cringe pfp

Yeah. The actual amount of nuclear waste generated is tiny, and if we wanted to we could continue to harvest energy from the spent fuel in various other ways (such as RTGs and such.) I'm happy to hear that here in Ontario were expanding our nuclear generation capability again.

The sad part is Japan isn't gifted for the natural disasters. They can have typhoons, earth quakes, and that is obviously strongly built inside their culture. It's understandable that given their nuclear history, they tend to avoid it.

@@leflo_ You mean the Fukashima "disaster" where only one person died from radiation while dozens died from the evacuations? That's right, more people died from the evacuations than the actual issue they were evacuating for.

@@Gustav_Kuriga Yeah, uh... might want to check your sources on that.

Omae no kotoba wo chanto sekinin! I probably butchered that. You should tell her that more people die daily from coal mining than have _ever_ died from nuclear accidents.

Yeah discovering nuclear power before the industrial revolution would have likely been a nightmare. Everything from making the fuel to actually using it would cost a lot of lives to radiation poisoning without machines. Those machines also must be made by other machines, since even a 0,05% error in a lot of parts' dimensions, or material uniformity, could make the machine fail. Handmade machines would fail too often or be too simple to operate safely around the radiation

@@olafthebear2327 I do wonder how it would be if we avoided the nuclear teakettle approach, tho. Would LFTR be easier to get started from scratch, for example? Lower tolerances, perhaps? Sadly, I don't know enough about the actual design to say; perhaps there's more trouble buried a layer deeper, in handling the fluoride side of things. :-/

I think a good example to consider is Babbage's analytical engine. Entirely possible on paper, and way ahead of it's time(1837 versus commercial success of tabulating machines in 1924), but even with a massive budget. The tight machining tolerances required meant a lot of the work was rejected, and so the costs ballooned out of control. This impossible stopgap concept was actually something James Webb had to convince J.F.K. of. President Kennedy wanted to build a rocket to send men to the moon on what was basically a shoestring budget(by comparison to what ended up happening) with little to no oversight or trials. Plenty of people throughout history have tried to jump ahead of the curve, but there has to be the body of work to build off of, ex nihilo nihil fit. If someone tries to skip steps to reach a conclusion ahead of time they'll either find out someone else beat them to it, concurrent and forgotten discoveries are fairly common throughout history, or they might take the wrong approach and fall behind due to feasibility problems. There's another option too, they may be staunchly secretive and take their discovery to their grave like Leeuwenhoek and what should have been a hugely beneficial lens manufacturing technique. However he feared his work being considered derivative of Hooke's and chose secrecy instead of progress.

@@Leadvest Same problem with the Antikythera mechanism. It was wildly complex for it's time, like 14th century clockwork trying to track every major celestial body over decades in a single device. It definitely worked in theory... except the degre of uncertainty in it's calculations is estimated to be _massive_ because the gears were all made by hand.

@@Leadvest Ah, yes. The tools to make the tools to make the tools. The progression towards precision is a fascinating subject. I hadn't thought that much precision was necessary in the making of LFTR reactor, but perhaps in the turbine? I am not, obviously, an engineer. ;-]

Highly destructive for the US/USSR as they would be directly hit. Nuclear winter is complicated, and there is a lot of uncertainty in terms of how much it would do. There are also various levels (it isn’t an on/off switch). Most data shows that it would cause widespread devastation, mainly in the northern hemisphere, but, humanity would survive. So, not “the end of the world”.

Thank you very much!

Nuclear power plants have been fine for over 50 years. We have also known how to recyle nuclear waste and reuse it for more power for over 30 years now. The only reason it never happened was due to politics .

Wind and solar is even greener. The even more important argument is that they are also both cheaper by now (all three power plant systems are subsidized in some countries and less or not at all in others. Factor this in when comparing.).

@@rekrn12345 "Fine"... except, ya know, Three Mile Island, Chenobyl, Fukushima. Not that I am against nuclear power, on the contrary. But let´s not act like it is totaly and absolutely safe. Precautions should be (and are) taken.
