Formidable explanation. God bless.

Mine just arrived from your etsy shop. I had to pause and rewind the video a few times but I managed to get it put together!

You have a lot of interesting videos! I appreciate your creative and inquisitive mind. I watched this Hopi blue corn video because Im growing some but I noticed all the videos you made and you appear to be an independent thinker. Good work!

Just making your own sh up. Hey it's your channel 🤷🏽

Why doesn't a bronze razor completely shave the hair away?

I need a steel or chain mail gauntlet, many a time, nearly chopped my index finger off.

Question is why have we enslaved the human race!!!

Excellent!

Trees are air conditioners, too. They suck up water from, say an 8sqft area of ground and allow it to evaporate from the trees total surface area which is much more than 8. Stepping in a forest is not just stepping in to shade.

Good job.

This is a rigid heddle not a table loom, table looms tend to have a swinging beater and usually 2+ shafts <3...

I have been a fan of Chesterton for over 20 years. He inspired me to become a homesteader. However, I recently Heard from a Podcaster that Chesterton thought that Hereditary property was unfair and should be abolished under Distributism. Any truth to that?

l've seen a russian video in youtube, where they have blax breaking machine looking thing what you used, but there was that pointy weed-think inserted, and then they pulled flax through it like in 5:50.

Thanks for taking us along on this. Looks like a fun place to get hands on!

Great video as always!❤

Welcome back in The Netherlands, Leiden, Delft and Haarlem are very pretty if you want to visit. Aachen (Germany) is also worth the visit if you like Charlemagne history.

Thanks for the informative video. Might never use it but good information to have

I dont think i agree that this is a valid crique of positivism. How do you test if a philosophical belief about the nature of truth? By seeing if operating under that belief inreases your understanding of the world and what is and isnt true, and its pretty historically obvious that positivism did this.

I have a hypothesis I’m hoping to develop in to a theory of Ought. You may be surprised that “ought’s” might actually have a physical property undergirding them.

Very informative! I love how excited your wife is with each success, because that's how it feels for me too, every time something goes right :D

AIR CONDITIONING is the process of removing heat from a space to create a more comfortable interior environment. This fits the bill perfectly, contrary to bobbobbly7900's ridiculous comment. Thank you to the creators of this video. It gives me another possible design feature for the cool storage outbuilding we eventually need to build.

Hopi Farmer here.! I am curious to see how well your corn grew using water. We are dry farmers, we use our prayers and songs to call the rain clouds to our fields to help them grow. Not only is it just corn, but its our beans, melons and squash.

Love this! Discovered this last year and plant to make one this year

Packing a coalpit is really simple

I'd pay to see Patrick Curry discuss these themes with Philip Pullman. I don't know which man makes me feel stupider.

Nice thank you for the tutorial I really enjoyed it

Taxation is unfortunately necessary, but it cannot destroy the rights of the people. From the beginning, only the people pay any taxes. It does not matter where the tax of any kind is applied, people end up paying it in the end as an added cost. The republic was founded to protect the rights of the people against enemies AND GOVERNMENT. It is why the people were to always have the right to common law adjudication (statutory law is irrelevant to the rights of the people, as their rights is the limit upon government). Taxes were to apply to business and commerce. It would indeed raise prices for the final consumer, but it gave the people the full choice of where their money (their property) went. The ONE THING that could change and give Americans back their rights is COMMON LAW ADJUDICATION. It is still our right, but those lawyers and judges hide it, for their own advantage.

It’s wild to see the native copper ores where the occur at the surface. It’s often highly pure, and you can indeed just beat it out of the rocks. No wonder the Welsh got so excited about Michigan.

Hunt the Good.

How does a national rail system fit into distributivism?

well discussed thanks. the importance of hobbies is really effective in not getting caught in the dreary capitalist race

i do this with weigela and honeysuckle

It's not good and evil. It's not balance. It's the illusion of separation. Ying and yang, your focus is on 2 opposites you miss the point that it is drawn with one stroke. Like the tides. Not a thing, but a relation. Like day and night, does not exist as a thing as it's a relation; an illusion drawn from short sighted perspective. Like the sun, it's not an object but a process of chemicals, an relation of one thing to another. The illusion is to think they are separated. Like matter and anti matter, they don't exit (like literally, the moment they clash both cease to exist). Your issue is that you believe in the illusion of good and evil because you believe there has to be such a thing. There is not. There is only a mind that knows not itself. Morality is born for a need for social cohesion, it's defined by what another is not. Without something bad you can't define what is suppose to be good. The opposite of love is not hate but indifference, both love and hate require caring. When yin rises, yang shrinks and when yang shrinks then yin rises. You left out that part. To help you out with the Orcs and Elf example though, Orcs are corrupted but only from the perception of the non-orcs. Humanity is corrupted, but only from the perspective of nature. Science is corrupted, but only from the perspective of the Abrahamic deities. That is corrupted which the mind can't comprehend, the moment is understands it's loses it's corrupted element because you'll understand on how to interact with it. You are looking at an entire philosophy of life that's based on Daoism and Buddhism through a Christian lens. Yin and Yang are not balance, that is true. Yin and Yang are not even separate they can't exist without another. Thanks to yin, yang gains shape and thanks to yang ying gains shape. It's the movement that separates. Your focus on ideals, makes you miss out on their relationship and thus you argue over nothing but that which is within your head. In Europe and Asia this behavior gets called "their just American" lmfao.

No James Watt Steam Engine and Steam Power, no Industrial Revolution! Just Newcomen Atmospheric Pumps and Arkwright's Water-Power.

LOVED the analysis of happiness in regards to survival vs deeper thought with extra time (around 40 minutes in) Although I am curious to hear more about that-thinking of thoughts I've heard from Wendell Berry (and CK Chesteron I think?) regarding the inner peace that can happen through working with you hands. As an intellectual worker (high school math teacher) there's a soothing aspect to working with my hands in my free time. The innovators vs government (roughly 65 minutes in) is also interesting. It brings to mind for me how I hold some personal morals and/or ethics that I recognize might not be possible or realistic on a government level, matching much of what you said here (I think) Really loved this miniseries, especially in view of this channel originally hooking me by it's backwards gaze (fiber working, spinning, weaving, etc) being juxtaposed by this conversation of moving forward and into the future!

44:38 these are golden points

All those printers are impressive

I would argue that forts don't equal fear, but rather precaution. Even a base understanding of human history will tell you that the most dangerous threat to you and your community is other humans. Having a fort doesn't necessarily mean "I'm afraid that someone is coming to kill me" but rather "I am aware of the dark side of human nature and would rather be prepared." To me the word "fear" has a guttural, primal meaning to it. Basements and caves are places you go when you have fear, a fort is something you build when you're prepared. You can be prepared for the future while still remaining logical and in control of your emotions.

Excellent tutorial. It was so simple to assemble and your explanation of what each part does made for confident understanding of how to spin on the wheel and adjust and modify parts. I moved the entire assembly to the front of the H shaped base and added another small block for the foot pedals, making treadling more comfortable for me and others using it. I do appreciate that you have graciously made the plans available, too. Thank you.

You are amazing! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Just genius.

Britain in 1800 to 1900. 20,000 Water-Wheels decreased in number. Windmills decreased in number. Englishman Thomas Newcomen's 1,500 Atmospheric Pumps disappeared. Scotsman James Watt's 500 Steam Engines and their descendants increased in number to 10,000,000 !!! So, for every SINGLE Water-wheel in 1800, we now had 500 Steam Engines in 1900 !!! That's an increase in Power availability for the whole country of 500 times, in one ( possible ) human lifetime !!! You don't need a flowing river of water for each and every one, and they could be sited anywhere. This WAS the Industrial Revolution. It was a Power Revolution! Spinning and Weaving and Water-Wheels had nothing to do with it. Neither had Newcomen's Atmospheric Pumps.

Your exploration of meaning that began at 38:40 was one of the more eloquent things I've heard in a long while. Setting the table with "The void gazes back at you" to later speak of the empty search for meaning had me nodding my head. I'm clipping that section and sending it to some people, because I think it fairly balances speculation with evolutionary prerogatives in its examination of the modern problem. The only thing I'd hope to add would be that it might be unfair to expect humans to have to train themselves to resist impulses. Not that we shouldn't do it; just that it is unfair. Our ancestors (10,000+ years ago, prior to agriculture) lived entire lives mostly seeking a sort of satisfaction and either realizing that satisfaction when they got the thing, or failing to get the thing. For a human to function in this kind of abundance is a certain kind of torture that nobody could have expected.

I'm cautiously optimistic on the long term uses for generative AI and other sectors touched by recent advances, but obviously there will be severe growing pains and massive negative effects alongside the positives as their use expands. I really question the motivations behind the Techno-Optimist Manifesto. I wonder why the man who invests in nfts, crypto, AI, and other speculative tech wants everyone to adopt them and markets to become completely unrestrained in their use? I want to be less pessimistic on his reasoning here; maybe he truly believes this stuff; but as long as the profit motive exists I can't just wave that feeling away. Any time technology isn't addressing a problem or benefiting some academic pursuit, we should assume the venture capitalists are trying to sell snake oil again and just ignore them. Doubly so if they tell us to not raise moral or ethical concerns. Like, really? Does he really think ALL these people in the tech sector and beyond are just fear mongering with no basis here? That environmentalists and people urging restraint on unfettered greed are truly the harbingers against all progress? Who does he even think he's fooling?

Have either of you heard of Friedrich List's national system of political economy? I've been trying to find time to read it and would be interested in hearing your thoughts on it as an economic alternative to capitalism and socialism.

46:40 Newton. And apparently he was actually mocking Hooke

It may have been easier than finding a log but I doubt it was cheaper since I you know someone with a decent tree that has fallen or they need down it I basically free. I do appreciate the numbers since I had a tree fall and am going to be working on building my jong

The racist, anti-white stuff that came with Google's Gemini AI release a few weeks ago pushed me in the direction of AI pessimism and of viewing it as a tool that will be used with ill intentions. It was rather shocking that they were so open with their bigotry. Users asked the AI to justify itself and it produced explanations about the important of diversity and not stereotyping, but imprecise tests (such as asking for a picture of a "superstar" or "famous physicist of the 17th century" or "medieval knight") completely excluded white males. I thought it was a profound insight into at least some of the minds of the people working on the technology, who will potentially wield great power as it becomes more integrated into all sorts of systems/as job responsibilities are outsourced to it. Loan decisions, legal decisions, priority for any number of aid or other types of applications...my imagination does not default to the optimistic possibilities outweighing the negative. I did not think that the issue got a proper evaluation, as the controversy down pretty quickly.

Love this on-going discussion-and especially hearing all the tangents along the way! Lots of great points and considerations....and I'm all for seeing a homemade pencil episode at some point.

27:28 25 year old me, super optimist and technophile, would've called that paragraph idiotic. Precautionary 39 year old me is calling it an offensive word haha
