I was so excited at the title and the video delivered! This is one of your best videos of all time! I appreciate it as a history/social science teacher. This is a great, brief overview! I may actually use it in class. It fits in perfectly with my World History units at the start of year. I love the Simpsons reference! I wasn't aware of ancient cities in Malaysia and Myanmar, so that's awesome to know. Great points about the problems with cities, civilization, hierarchy, private property, and inequality. The thought occurs that humans were developing beer around the same time as cities, social hierarchy, and inequality, and beer is great at dumbing people down and keeping them in line. In Mesopotamia, the government gave people beer rations. Intriguing...
The timing and content--about humans' shift from villages to cities and the accompanying change from circular cities to rectilineal cities--is especially interesting to me right now. I just watched an amazing video about how to turn a standard neighborhood into a village (rectilineal to circular). Folks are seeing the disadvantages of cities and wanting to benefit from the advantages of villages.
Anyway, amazing stuff!

There's a novel called Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach, written in the 1970s. Looking back on it now, I think it might be classified as pre- or early Solarpunk. It imagines the west coast as Cascadia, an autonomous bioregion that integrates ecology and technology in a beautiful, utopian manner to meet people's needs. There is some conflict in the narrative and there are some questionable cultural practices that make the society less perfect. So it might interest you, but it is overall more nice and fluffy, especially compared to Cyberpunk. Ooh, and have you read The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin? It's more sci-fi and less Cyberpunk or Solarpunk, but it addresses the issue of conflict, scarcity, and outside threats in a utopian, anarchist society. I was reminded of this book by your comment: "It's about maintaining and defending utopia from the remnants of capitalism that haven't yet died. It's not about success, not just about pretty pictures of cool buildings and happy people; it needs to be about the struggle, and the purpose that motivates it." The novel discusses that revolution isn't "the" revolution, a one-time fix to society's ills, but rather a constant, ongoing, living revolution, or series of revolutions, that we need to keep alive. Anyway, those are just my thoughts.

I wish I could experience attending all of the colleges/universities and living in all the college towns. Well, a lot of them anyway. I think about how my life ended up partially due to the schools I went to, the professors and classes offered there, the people I met, campus meals, the cities they're in, the the relationships I was/am in, my career, the music I was exposed to... and how things could have turned out differently and I could have had a different life in a different place if I went to different schools. There are so many interesting and unique classes and instructors at each and every community college, university, technical school, etc. There are so many possibilities of intriguing classes I could have taken, what I could have learned, the experiences I could have had, the friendships and relationships, and who I am now... and I would like to experience it all.

Thanks for this informative and balanced overview of the FIRE movement! I don't think I'll achieve it, but the idea of FIRE and channels like Our Rich Journey have inspired and motivated me to start working toward retirement in general and to pursue financial education, saving, and investing. Like The Plain Bagel video said, the ideas, strategies, and tips from the FIRE movement can be generally helpful and useful to everyone with regards to financial literacy, money management, making, saving, and investment money, and retirement. I appreciate what this video added to the conversation.

@iskdude9922 from the start. due to racism/white supremacy, Europeans colonized, killed, stole land from Native Americans, and then kind of gave some of them a little bit of undesirable land. When you're robbed of your culture and means of making a living, and experience centuries of trauma and racist policies and actions (violence, boarding schools, discrimination, breaking of treaties, etc) it is very difficult to survive, let alone thrive. Not all Native people live on reservations anyway. It's a struggle both on and off the Rez. "Kill the Indian, save the Man" is what the colonizers said. Yet Indigenous folks and communities are still here and they still persist in the face of white supremacy/racism. Research Leonard Peltier, Dakota Pipeline, Keystone XL Pipeline, NoDAPL movement, and LandBack movement. Also Reservation Dogs on Hulu is an excellent show.

I live in the US and I know Europe is better in many ways. I may move one day. Both places have pros and cons which can be subjective, but for freedom, peace, safety, health, happiness, healthcare, education, equality, and overall quality of life, Europe wins hands down. For anyone who cares about those things that is.

@Mii.2.0 Some consider Pakistan and Afghanistan part of the Middle East, and some consider it part of South Asia, so it depends on the source. I think it's both. Afghanistan and Pakistan were part of India at one point, and today there are many similarities among the three countries. You'll find similar food and hear similar music at Indian, Pakistani, and Afghan restaurants, for example. Afghanistan is also part of Central Asia, along with the other -stands like Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, etc. I wonder if Central Asians are usually included with Asians in demographic data.

Awesome video! I love and miss the Northwest! In my 25 years of growing up and living in the Northwest/Seattle metro area (been gone several years now), I used the following forms of transit: bike, skateboard, car, bus, train, light rail, monorail, canoe, row boat, small/local cruise ship, ferry, small prop plane, commercial airplanes (prop and jet). This video made me realize how many forms of transportation are available there. Wow!

@vitawater4259 “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)
“…God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.” (Acts 10:28)
The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
David and Jonathan. “After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.” (1 Samuel 18:1) David says of Jonathan: “Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women.” (2 Samuel 1:26).
Ruth and Naomi - Ruth expresses her devotion to Naomi with, “Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God . Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.” (Ruth 1:16-17).
The Centurion and his servant (Matt 8:5-10). The word used for “servant” here, “pais”, was commonly used to describe a servant who was a romantic partner of the master. [6]

@megaboz42 Good point. But speaking for myself (different than most), I hate indoor malls, so I don't use them. I used to go to the Fulton Mall, however (before they changed it -- now I don't go anymore). With parking on the outside of the Fulton Mall, even more walking was required. So I did get some exercise by using the Fulton Mall, and I don't from indoor malls. I also used to ride my bike through the Fulton Mall, which was safer and more pleasant than taking the downtown streets, and I also got exercise that way. Also by strolling/biking the Fulton Mall, I got to enjoy the fountains, artwork, and historical monuments.

@mikem4900 Lol actually Trump and Trump followers tried and are trying to deconstruct our society. They interfered with and attempted to stop the democratic process.
It's very telling how you're proud of "white western civilization". This honor, respect, honesty, and manners that you speak of... are you referring to genocide of indigenous and African peoples? Are you referring to slavery? To Indian boarding schools, in which Native youth were beat for speaking their language? Are you referring to Jim Crow laws and segregation? Are you referring to terrorists like the KKK? Are you referring to the continued murder of innocent Black and Brown people by police and white supremacist terrorists?
First, many of the achievements of "white western civilization" actually came from Black and Brown people in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
Second, your pride and belief in this "white western civilization" is rooted in ethnocentrism, white supremacy, false history and myths, delusion, and what I assume is willful ignorance.
Learn some real history, the people's history. My students will teach you.
Do some research on anthropology, ethnocentrism, white supremacy, white privilege, and a book called Lies My Teacher Taught Me.
If I'm wrong about you, and you're not a horrible racist monster, then I'm sure you'll conduct earnest research and reflection on these topics.

All the major and most important life events, rites of passage, transitions, celebrations, and holidays are so expensive in the US! Almost everyone participates, so it's guaranteed money. Birth, college/training, wedding, rent/mortgage, moving, retirement, death, etc. Capitalism is a scam.

@iskdude9922 LOL yes, they're the poorest -- due to white supremacy, colonization, slavery, and centuries of systemic racism. If you had your land and culture stolen from you and your ancestors murdered, or you were stolen from your home, enslaved, then denied access to resources and wealth (and then when you built your own wealthy communities, white mobs came and destroyed it), you might still be poor too. What you say about Native Americans and African Americans not building their own territories, that is a lie and a myth. Time and again, Black people built successful communities and white people came, killed them, and destroyed their towns. Look up Black Wall Street and the Tulsa race massacre. You're speaking of ignorance and racism, so why speak at all? Do some research. Research Black Wall Street and white supremacy.

@iskdude9922 Black Wall Street was over 100 years ago, yes. So? You're failing to grasp that history still impacts us today.
You also missed my point of bringing up Black Wall Street. Black and other POC communities have numerous examples of building up successful, wealthy communities, and manage to thrive despite having endured loss of home and culture, slavery, sharecropping, Jim Crow laws, etc.
Time and again white mobs destroyed these communities and killed the residents and actively stopped Black and POC communities from being successful. This continues today in other forms. This demonstrates the power of white supremacy and how it works. The people in power, and the system itself, actively work to subjugate and oppress Black people, communities of color, and poor working people. This ensures a supply of cheap labor to continue enriching the already wealthy.
This system has continued since slavery. First slavery, then Jim Crow/segregation, now mass incarceration. A constant timeline of white supremacy to keep Black people poor and as a source of cheap labor for the wealthy whites to keep getting richer. Check out the documentary 13th by Ava DuVernay.

@transcendent7lucidity I don't care what you consider vegan. Nobody cares what you think. I haven't eaten in meat in 23 years, btw. I consider you as coming across as a little racist.
Anyway, check your privilege. Check out those links. Take time to research white privilege, white supremacy, and intersectional veganism. Lol you're the immature and ignorant one, crying about what indigenous people say to vegans on Twitter, while dismissing the CENTURIES of continued colonization and oppression of indigenous people. We must listen to their wisdom.
White veganism, veganism that is based on colonialism, will do nothing to improve the world. The struggle is intersectional, and the sooner you learn about this, the better for you and the world.
One struggle, one fight, human freedom, animal rights.
1
-
@transcendent7lucidity You remind me a little of myself when I was a newly vegan teenager. I was single-issue focused, judgemental, moralistic, and a jerk to non-vegans. I alienated myself from friends and family. But veganism led to animal rights organizing, which became my introduction to social justice and community organizing, and over time I expanded and got involved in other issues and communities as well. I try to listen and learn from others, examine my privileges, and have developed an intersectional analysis and praxis. I'm not perfect. But we all can learn and grow.
So that's why I assumed you're young and/or newly vegan. Then again, Morrissey is old and veg for decades and is still a racist, xenophobic, single issue asshole. Hopefully you aren't/won't be.
Please take time for yourself and look up topics such as veganarchy (vegan anarchism), intersectional veganism, sustainability of indigenous food systems, indigenous knowledge and culture, white privilege, and white supremacy.

Yes! Awesome video. Clips from Office Space and The Office! Very interesting points and perspective in your video! Great points about toxic workplace culture. I'm a teacher, which I wanted to do and I like, it is busy, long hours, and stressful. Sometimes I dream about a boring office job where I can leave work at work. I also hope that office jobs are actually like on The Office and Parks and Rec, lol. But I could see disliking office jobs. So I don't know. I guess the grass is always greener.
I love Office Space! I watch it all the time, sometimes in the background when I'm tired of working. I understand the critique of corporate/office culture and jobs in general, but I'm also wondering if Peter may had ADHD. Sometimes jobs that are boring and monotonous can be difficult for ADHD'ers, and they may be better suited for a job that's more active, fast-paced, and that changes. Note how Peter hates his job and life at Initech but seems happier working construction. Not a diagnosis, just a thought.

The Central Valley heat is AWFUL!!!! And the winters are still cold! At least have mild/warmer winters if the summer is unbearably hot. I'm not from here, and I'm not staying, but I've been here 13 years now. Every summer I tell myself, "This is the last summer I will endure here. I'm moving!" There are tons of trees ("Tree City USA") but it's still horrible and unbearable. I hate the heat so much. But a good job is here, and it's somewhat affordable, and everywhere else I would want to live seems unattainable. I know you moved to the Central Coast region, which is my favorite part of California, and where I have my eye too. Good for you for getting out and to the coast! I also miss the Pacific Northwest. Trees are so amazing and important! And usually the wealthy are the ones who get trees and the nature. In my city, the wealthier parts of town have beautiful old trees, are shady, and cooler than the rest of the city. The lower income areas contain asphalt, concrete, and empty, dusty dirt lots. Anyway, great video!

@crossbearer6453 Queerness is NOT a choice. Maybe it's safe for YOU to say that, a straight, ignorant, straight, brainwashed zealot. Go ahead, ask some LGBTQ people if it's a choice. I dare you.
The correct way for us to live, according to God, is to love each other and not to judge. "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Since you're the one judging others for being different than you... It sounds like you'll get the ultimate judgement. And you may just end up in Hell.
If God created everything and everyone, then God created homosexuality because it has ALWAYS existed in nature and in humans. You criticizing what God created is an insult and a blasphemy against God. YOU ARE THE SINNER.
You are a hateful, judgemental sinner. May you face both human judgement and wrath and God's judgement and wrath for your sins against God's Love.
You are a DISGRACE to God and to whatever religion you practice. God and Jesus hate you.

@crossbearer6453 That reflects the ancient, patriarchal, homophobic society of the people that write those parts of the bible, more than it does God. You think God would really be that petty and care? You've got it twisted. Look at history and you'll see how the bible simply comes from the people who wrote it, in that particular time, place, and context. And that the stories are borrowed, retold ancient tales from earlier cultures. That's why Christianity = Judaism + Greek culture, with some Egyptian and Mesopotamian myths/stories thrown in there (like the Flood). You believe so much in something obviously made up by flawed humans who wanted power, control, and wealth -- and you don't even get the right message out of it, which is love and togetherness, but you get hatred, prejudice, and homophobia. And that really just reflects you, your prejudices, your biases, and your messed up mentality, more than it does the actual God. That's so sad.

@crossbearer6453 Look at the tragedy of the Colorado Springs night club shooting. This is another in a long line of shootings and violence against the LGBTQ community. This act of terrorism and evil comes from thinking like what you're expressing, and the terrorists who target and kill queer people have beliefs and ideas like those you expressed. That is unholy, ungodly, and unChristian. That is evil. You see what this ideology and the people who believe in it cause? Hate, violence, and death. You sharing your hateful, ignorant beliefs is part of the problem, and makes it more comfortable and welcome for terrorists (usually white male Christians) to commit these bigoted acts of violence against LGBTQ people, people of color, indigenous people, and women. Stop spreading hate and violence.

Primates, corvids, parrots, dolphins, orcas, elephants, pigs, dogs, cats are some of the most intelligent, as humans calculate it anyway. Nature is inherently intelligence and it's where humans get ours from, so it shouldn't be surprising that intelligence is everywhere in Nature.

@teddycooke8145 Policing and incarceration were intentionally increased around the nation and in Compton during the 1970s and 1980s despite the decrease in crime and drug use. So you've got it backwards. The police are there to lock up poor people of color, disenfranchise them, use them for cheap labor, and to enrich the prison corporations. Mass incarceration is current stage of white supremacy in this country, a continuation of Jim Crow before it, of sharecropping before that, and slavery began it all. Policing in America developed from the slave patrols. Today cops are modern day slave patrols and lynch mobs. The whole system is based on white supremacy. But don't believe me. Do your own research -- white supremacy, racism, mass incarceration, prison-industrial complex, prison abolition, The New Jim Crow (book), Angela Davis, white privilege, Black Lives Matter.

I think its busy days were the 70s through 90s. I went to the Fulton Mall from around 2009 (after moving here) to a few years ago when the city re-opened the streets. I did shopping, eating, hanging out, biking, music shows, etc at the Fulton Mall. It wasn't super busy, but people still went there, and there were several businesses, restaurants, and food carts. You could get good deals there. There was an indoor swap mall with multiple vendors with booths. It kind of reminded me of shopping in other countries. It was pretty cool. Since they re-opened the streets a few years ago and some of the older businesses closed, I don't go anymore. I hate indoor malls so I don't go there either.
