  1. I should have made it more clear and got less caught up in the stories. But what I was trying to say was land has gone from a good that most people can own to a good owned by the elites, and then back to a common good again on a fairly predictable cycle. In the last 100 years we have been able to buy our own home but it's starting to become something only the elites can own because they are the only ones that can afford it.

  2. We were experimenting with new custom background music but you’re right, now that you mention it, it’s too loud.

  22. Kind of like SciShow, I cant do this and money alone, so brought on a guy who knows a bit about history to write and narrate :)
    43
  23. One of the things I've learned already making this channel is the importance of preserving history, and of as many things/people/events as possible. The more data points, the better

  73. We are mostly pretty positive about the future, but it's important that people learn about things going wrong, so we probably come across more pessimistic than we really are.

  100.  @TheRubberJohnson  Nailed it. I had a cold. Good ear, even some people on my team couldn't pick up on it!
    8
  101. Because it's better

  111. Curious how you found this channel. Have yet to do the big announcement on How Money Works
    7
  112. Appreciate that!

  113. I’ll take the compliment, but you haven’t had time to watch it yet?
    7
  114. The Louvre was also a royal palace before it became the art museum it is today.
    7
  115. I have done lots over on How Money Works. Do you think I have missed anything in particular that you would like to see?
    7
  116. No these videos are written by a real English human called Sam and he also narrates them now too because I shouldn't be getting the credit for his hard work.
    7
  117. Hopefully you don't see it for too much longer :(
    7
  118. Yeah a few people have mentioned the audio issue so we will definitely be fixing it up for the next video but this is a cool tip we will try it out!

  147. Whole plan was for someone more qualified to write and narrate this channel. Unfortunately couldn’t do that at the start
    4
  148. Yeah I don't get it either
    4
  149. My pleasure!
    4
  150. Thay’s fair… Yeah it definitely feels like Netflix is throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks

  170. Lesson learnt. I am going to tone it down in the future based on the feedback here.

  180. A great origin story for a great company.

  181. Hope it lives up to the expectations!
    2
  182. This is only half true. The true part, if you lived past 15 in the 1500's your chances of reaching 60 were only slightly worse than reaching the same age today. It was still worse because of more dangerous working conditions and fewer medical interventions like antibiotics. The part that you don't get exactly right is that beyond the age of 60 though your chances of reaching 80 are SIGNIFICANTLY better today because of modern medicine and generally more comfortable lifestyles. Since we were talking about retirement it's those ages that really matter.
    2
  183. W comment
    2
  184. Thanks, will do!
    2
  185.  @tflue7269  It's in the works!

  186. Yay!
    2
  187. Done
    2
  188. I think I heard a similar proposal from Bill Ackman I am not sure if that's who you are talking about. It's not a terrible idea honestly, but it would be a hard sell politically.
