I agree that we should be better at designing cities, but stretching them out into one long line is definitely not the answer.

It's a solid day's work for a man who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.

I think it's most of them.

@alliswell-p3e "its useful in high speed situations". You mean on a high-speed train, or when you need a high-speed connection? Frankly, I haven't noticed a difference here, either.

@alliswell-p3e Ok, that may be the case. I don't play multi-player games on my phone, so that's not an issue for me. Nor do I stream movies on my phone. I prefer to watch movies on a bigger screen.

@i99vs Ok, so there's a big business opportunity here for you to profit off of. Take the leap!

@NaturalNihilist Ok, I've never sold my hair, but if someone wants to buy it I have no problem with that. It's free to grow and I even pay to have someone cut it off. If someone will pay me $10 for it I'd be quite happy.

@_w_w_ "Americans and Europeans are just wasteful." That is certainly true, but I have lived in China for many years, and people here are equally wasteful. The question is how we deal with all the waste.

@rylandrc Diseases are not primarily spread by not washing with soap. Yes, washing hands can limit the spread of the common cold and other simple viruses, but the vast majority of dangerous diseases are spread through contaminated food and water, biological vectors like mosquitos, and contact with human biological fluids like spit and semen. Besides, there is plenty of soap in the world. This idea that many people don't have access to soap is simply false.

@SuM of NoN Whether the US invades their country or not, they still need to make a living. You may not have a very good understanding of the developing world, but in many places, there are no large companies they can work at. Often they're on their own. Life in those places is much harder than in any developed country. "It's paper". You mean money? It's made of paper, but it's necessary. "Just like your God". Let's get real, there are no gods, none at all.

@SuM of NoN Everything you're saying here indicates that you don't believe you have any control over your own life. That's pretty weak. Don't be a weakling, don't be a loser. Be strong.

@banhammer3904 "the great reset agenda". What exactly is that?

@rosalie.e.morgan Certainly potentially dangerous. In the case of Fugu, if it is prepared improperly, and for milk, if it contains dangerous pathogens. However, raw milk is used for cheese all over France and some other countries with almost no examples of people who got sick from it. Lots of raw vegetables may also be contaminated, as may meats if stored improperly. Even water can potentially be dangerous if it contains pathogens, heavy metals or certain chemicals. These are all just a result of us being part of nature. Biological life exists by eating each other, and sometimes we're the ones getting eaten.

8:56 "In the 2010s, western countries co-opted coconuts as superfoods". This should read 'USA', not 'western countries'. The whole idea of 'superfoods' is a scam that we in Europe have yet to fall for. Rather, in Europe we divide foods into two categories: Delicious foods, and not so delicious foods. I admire the woman at 9:27 who tries (in vain) to get some reality into our understanding of foods, but she is fighting an uphill battle in a society where people are willing to believe pretty much anything without evidence.

6:40 "but when tariffs were dropped in 2021, China reentered the market". I'm pretty sure the tariffs are still in place with no change.

Very interesting, but could you leave that deep, dramatic voice to Discovery and NatGeo, please?

@outisnemo8443 I know, I'm European. My meaning is that there are no 'tribes' that rely on gathering wild produce for their subsistence.

@asherscott3151 Perhaps traditionally, but fashions change in Vietnam, too. Especially in the cities.

@ItsAsparageese Here's a short quote taken from Wikipedia: "The five classes of enzymes found in laundry detergent include proteases, amylases, lipases, cellulases, and mannanases. They break down proteins (e.g. in blood and egg stains), starch, fats, cellulose (e.g. in vegetable puree), and mannans (e.g. in bean gum stains) respectively."

11:20 Step one: "There's inflation"! Step two: "This long conversation about inflation is itself getting inflated" Step three: "Whatever, let's go back to spending money".

Why would a Russian care what the tariffs are in the US?

Art is very much like fashion (which is also a kind of art). Some people are happy to pay $200 for a simple T-shirt designed by Kanye West, or if it says SUPREME on the front. There's no inherent value in the T-shirt itself, but there's a kind of social value in owning one. But even if you recognize that, you might still really like the T-shirt.

I visited Malaysia and Indonesia in the late 80s and again in recent years. The difference is remarkable, with huge swathes of rainforest now turned into oil palm plantations and rubber tree plantations. It has certainly helped those two countries grow economically which is good, but it's sad, even depressing, to see the large-scale destruction of nature.

@ianhermansson7191 Thank you. I'll go and get myself checked out.

The two companies compete to find out who should be the real Apple of China.

So what are those health issues? Hot ears? Numb fingertips?

Wasn't there just another video about shea butter in Kenya? The Kenyan ladies claimed their shea butter was better than West African shea butter because East African shea butter comes from wild trees while West African shea butter comes from cultivated trees.
