As written in the title

  • I've love this. I've felt this for the last 2 years as well. But it was nice to see it backed up with historical context.

  • Sidenote, the flair options in this sub are idiotic

  • This is such an interesting video to watch and I fully agree with all his points.

    Really? I watched it the other night and it seemed like another example of people on the internet being long on talk and short on substance.

    Are you familiar with the topics he talks about? I do agree the examples he mentions for every signal appearing in our times feel somewhat superficial probably because he didn’t do a deep analysis of what each signal means in today’s world

    Maybe it was because I was half asleep but it did seem surface level the sort of historical survey that was done. All I can legitimately remember was him saying Renaissance, and how we are in a new one, like a million times 🤣. So that's more on me than the creator, probably

  • Can someone give me the tldr he lost me at Renaissance. 

    People make change, not institutions.

    People bored or unhappy with institutions make big change.

    This happen many times in history.

    It maybe happen now? Many signs point to yes.

    Change is done through the collective construction of the imaginary, which is built by the words we pick to put out into the world and the imagery we choose to create.

  • Made it to about 1:45. This guy uses far too many words to make his point. The sentence "Can we bring about a renaissance?" doesn't need to be 50 words long.

    We can't, there is no Byzantine Empire to fall finally to the Ottomans.

    Didn't watch the piece...

    Sorry you have no attention span.

    Jesus Christ dude it’s 27 minutes long. Some of us have responsibilities, we can’t all watch every bozo on YouTube

    Do you make a public statement every time you come across something you don’t want to watch? 

    Sounds exhausting. 

    No, do you get butthurt whenever people don’t want to spend half an hour on something that could’ve been three paragraphs?

    Well, then don’t watch it.

    Sorry you have no attention span.

    I’m sorry your time has no value

    Edit Bro why are we fighting, we have all the same interests. Do you have kids? Since having a family there’s no way I could take time to watch something like this
