John Allard It's art for sure. Drove from southern California to Colorado and back listening to Blueprint for Armageddon...only! I think it's like 24 hrs total. He's a beast
Nearly 60 years old. Dropped the cable service 1 year ago. I only use Internet now. Dan Carlin is the single biggest reason why. I will no longer dumb down my listening experience to satisfy idiotic programming executives in L.A. or New York. The future is now. Kick some butts, Dan!!
As a media student, I am really inspired by your speech and see how much we can do in the era of new media. I feel really lucky to be born in this era. It's really amazing how anybody can be a content creator and make media that can access to billions of people. Without gatekeepers, we will get to see a lot of interesting new contents that we would never be able to see in the pasts. Wow.
Congrats to dan for making it on ted! I've listened to almost every hardcore history he's made. I'm actually wondering if there is anybody else who I'll be able to listen to after him. Nobody in podcasting is more down to earth
As someone who put up about 20 podcasts about a mom who sews for her family, it's nice to know its out there somewhere. I started when Dan did but my kids got older and I got too busy. I always feel pride that he's continued on and been so successful!
I love this guy and being a History nut myself I can't believe I only very recently discovered him but I am going to be playing catchup for a while on his podcast.
I love his voice. I love his Hardcore History podcast. I love the points he brings up here. It's an odd thing to think about but in a way he fulfilled a part of that childhood dream of his because of the accessibility he spoke of. Well done
This talk has given me even more motivation to create and publish content online. The benefits of democratization/meritocracy and distribution - I'd already considered those. But the fact that 500 years from now, my lineage will still be able to easily lookup at any content I create today, is another fantastic reason. If for no other reason, I should create content for them - so they can get a slice of history from within their own lineage. How wonderful that would be for them.
This is a great talk, as a media student, I have learned many things about new media from the class but after I watched this Ted Talk. it gave me a lot information even this video was 5 years ago but as you know knowledge never getting old. So, very nice content.
Such a great talk! I do like the way Dan Carlin talking about new media since 5 years ago which was the real coming of age time period of the new media. Then he said we didn’t need entirely huge audience for the new media anymore, everyone has a chance to make their mark in media in a way that simply has never before been possible not only depends on media gatekeepers as before and this era will be the era where human creativity exploded and it definitely is.
Dan said he completely forgot what he had planned to say about halfway through this, then just winged it for the rest of the way. I think I like the second half better.
It is wild listening to this, nearly a decade later, and realizing how much our government is choosing to gatekeep us because the media meritocracy is threatening to them. This was a great listen!
I believe that the" new media " or narrow casting , will simply increase the isolation of individuals in a society. Shared interests begin to disappear , cultural commonalities evaporate, and yet I rush home to be alone in my office apart from my family to get my watch on! Shit I love UA-cam!
+John Williams While I mostly agree with you, I think that youtube is still a tad more democratic than television. Liveleak and Vimeo are still a good option. :D
Unfortunately, people have a demand to stay in their media bubble, which used to be less important due to centralized nature of mainstream media. But today this demand can finally be met by the media contentmakers (both newspapers and bloggers). So the media offers polarized biased content, people are happy to consume it and therefore their views become even more polarized. This is a positive feedback loop which slowly drives our societies crazy, and we all now participate in this process, whether we want it or not.
The platforms explode, as did the old networks, the actors and content creators keep being expendable as they've always been. YT detonates popular channels all the time, blocking their adds and blacklisting them from the recommend/hot algorithms, yet the platform and content keeps growing day by day. The machine has grown, not the people's part in it. Same game as usual, just in a different scale and format. People don't consume media, media consumes people. If a product is free for you, then you are the product.
I wonder what Dan would thing of this topic/his talk looking back on it in 2019. The biggest issue that's arisen lately is that there is SO MUCH of this content and its being created so fast that there's no way to drink from the firehose without tech companies filtering it down into your recommendations with their algorithms....which means they have all the power of the old media with none of the accountability.
Great talk, but the democritization of media is also a double-edged sword. Now you can find a content creator and an audience for just about anything--including completely false information and batshit-crazy ideologies. I'm not saying this down-side outweighs the good, but we need cultural changes to make us better at critical thinking or we might end up in sea of delusion bubbles that blind us to the larger picture.
12:10 "can't cancel you anymore". I love DC but he did not see the modern internet coming ala media (government) cancellations. Wish he was still podcasting. SF DC!
This video dating back to 2015 was very optimistic and mostly correct. Until UA-cam, Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram decided to become the gatekeepers themselves and institute their own form of censorship.
"It's a free, meritocracy. If you can keep it" -Me Seriously, the internet is the modern age's wild wild west. It will only remain wild and free if you can keep it that way. So far we're doing a not so good job. Just barely holding off the inevitable which is actually not. That depends solely on us. The millions and billions.
It will be interesting to see what changes. Control or censorship of the internet? At the increasing rate that people are creating data, when will the rate that less and less people are contributing to the physical necessities of life be noticed. Food, clothing shelter and such cannot be created on the matrix, and as more and more people create digital creations, where will we find the labor force to sustain us with physical things with a true value to them?
I've literally spent over 50 hours of my life listening to hardcore history, it's so weird to put a face to the voice. Such a great guy.
John Allard It's art for sure. Drove from southern California to Colorado and back listening to Blueprint for Armageddon...only! I think it's like 24 hrs total. He's a beast
+John Allard I listen to hardcore history while running. It has made by runs much more interesting.
just 50 hours?
that's like 3 episodes.
I have listen to road to Armageddon twice.
he's on the Joe Rogan podcast from time to time.
Dan Carlin is fantastic...Hardcore History leaves me occasionally searching for reasons to go on long drives just so I can finish an episode!
+cuzv I've started to enjoy my 2 hour commute to work everyday since I found them!
cuzv thought i was the only one!

Can Dan do anything at all without mentioning Alexander the Great? I dont think so.
Dan was Alexander in a different life... or he was Homer... or both.
I dont hope so!
I dunno, but after you read up on Alexander, it's really hard not to.
@@HerrSpuzzmacher - Alexander was pretty great.
That's his guy lol
Watching this in 2022 and its still relevant! "New Media" is truly here forever
Dan Carlin is awesome. Add me to the chorus of people recommending BOTH of his podcasts.
Dan is so inspiring. He’s taught me how to be a more well rounded and reasonable person. History is so crucial to our understanding of the world.
Best podcast out there, Hardcore History.

Yea for sure. The gatekeepers invented new tools.
cadbjjabkb still can't cancel ppl

this man reminds me of some teachers I had and some that I wish my kids have. They would love history as much as I do!
I guess the thing is now your kids do have access to this kind of education.
@@APRS that's not how it works!
@@morenaczarnecki5066 what do you mean?
Love everything you do Dan.

One of the most intelligent people in the world
Without a doubt
Dan said he completely forgot what he had planned to say about halfway through this, then just winged it for the rest of the way. I think I like the second half better.
+sensbombers I can see that lol. I noticed he began to repeat himself about halfway through.
Based Dan Carlin, podcast lord of /tv/
I will listen to everything that has the name Dan Carlin attached to it. The dude is amazing.
This talkshow was amazing! How could he talk about media the whole video but I can watch till its end😂
Hardcore History is the bomb.
It is wild listening to this, nearly a decade later, and realizing how much our government is choosing to gatekeep us because the media meritocracy is threatening to them. This was a great listen!
What a great an informative talk! Best information on the subject I've yet to find :)
I believe that the" new media " or narrow casting , will simply increase the isolation of individuals in a society. Shared interests begin to disappear , cultural commonalities evaporate, and yet I rush home to be alone in my office apart from my family to get my watch on! Shit I love UA-cam!
Anna Brees podcast and interviews well worth watching too guys 😻🌟😎🔮
The only thing Dan is off about is that UA-cam isn't democratic. It often bans videos it doesn't agree with the content so there is a gatekeeper.
+John Williams While I mostly agree with you, I think that youtube is still a tad more democratic than television. Liveleak and Vimeo are still a good option. :D
Yeah for sure. But Govs can switch off UA-cam like the Turkish president did when incriminating evidence gets out. Not much of a democracy then!
kudos Dan!
I could watch this ageen and ageen
Hardcore history is a MUST listen for, well, everyone. this man should be filthy rich
A little trip to the casting couch. Dan knew all along
LOL by joe's nightly newscast he means the Joe Rogan Experience. clever.
Well, to be fair, Dan Carlin probably got a huge boost in listeners after he did Rogans podcast.
average joe
+Jeff Simmons that's how I came across Dan.
@@jeffsimmons4822 To throw a spanner in the works it's how I found Joe Rogan ;)

how am i just seeing this now!
Awesome talk

People don't consume media, media consumes people. If a product is free for you, then you are the product.
He saw the future for sure
If "Joe's Nightly News" hires these TEDx camera guys they'll never make it.
This guy has great flies and great ointment.
+Bob Loblaw What do you mean?
zorgaxful Thats the fly in the ointment right there.
+Bob Loblaw still don't get it
He used the euphemism like five times on a podcast with Joe Rogan and he made fun of himself for it.
And if You Tube decides do ban you?
Dan i speak about you often. Lex often speaks of you
Nice!
good stuff
ben is sick
michael mon If there is a Ben...
+michael mon Wish him well for me.
he's seems quite healthy and on point to me!
Where is he when Dan needed him most
What he said at 9:22 is already happened now.. and its only 6 years of time..

Wow sir !
Aah man, Hardcore History is the first podcast I ever got hooked on. Did I peak early? Not sure where to go next :(
+Galantasy Radiolab, Serial, The Moth, This American Life, TED Radio Hour, The Message, The Joe Rogan Experience, StarTalk, etc...
+John Vincent Cigliano legendary thanks!!
+Galantasy Try Daniele Bollelli´s history podcast about the Spartacus rebellion! Not quite like Hardcore History but pretty good...
+Galantasy Dan Carlin also has a podcast on current events called Common Sense. Definitely worth checking out!
+Galantasy Stuff You Should Know and Planet Money are my 2 favorites.
Please jump on the JRE podcast again Dan.
Kacy and Jacy get about 50x more views than this TED talk. That's gotta say something.
"right" is the new "nevertheless"
only came here for the Carlin, Ted's a blight on society.
12:10 "can't cancel you anymore". I love DC but he did not see the modern internet coming ala media (government) cancellations. Wish he was still podcasting. SF DC!
This isn’t Dan Carlin. When he quoted Napoleon, he didn’t do the BIG voice.
Carlin loves the 70's
TPP just passed, media going to go undemocratic again here soon.
TiSA and TTIP won't help either.

So fucking well done Mr Carlin.
I just wanted to see what Dan does with his hands while he talks...
"And now without further preamble I'd like to introduce to you all Dan Carlin's Nightly News, to be broadcast nightly, by me. Suck it NBC news!"
Was it only 5 years ago there was no censorship on UA-cam?
11:22 " Now you can't be canceled" , well how the turntables.

I am watching this because Anna Brees suggested 🌟😻
Joe Rogans Nightly News Cast
LtCorbis would blow his mind and probably worry the hell out of him.
Oh, how simple his endlish!!!!!!! in best meaning
If this were only true. UA-cam is the gatekeeper, as is twitter, Spotify and Facebook.
Very true. It’s funny cause he says you “can’t get cancelled now” and it’s ironic cause you can very much so get canceled which is what your saying.
This was posted in 2015 and it doesn't even have one hundred thousand views. (78,777 as I type on Dec. 18 2019)
Dan "fly in the ointment" Carlin
People watch the nightly news?
한국말로 요약 좀 해주세요 ㅠㅠ
USA. EU feed one, direction, streaming,,,,,no quistion at all
good talk. only 78 million views. Perhaps it would be wise to get some cans out and do some cuisine tests.
I love Dan Carlin, but not sure YT is a meritocracy, unless meddling with dead bodies in a forest is worthy of merit.
Yes, please discover ME!!!
First Anna Brees, then personal poet 😵🙏🏻🤣
Ramble ramble ramble
Guerrilla democracy
youtube cant cancel you????.....
If I had a million views, I would hide 😱👀
Can't be cancelled, eh?
Tin can challenge
Amazing how dated this sounds, and how so much of it has been proven wrong.
Lol casting couch
Look up Anna Brees, my gorgeous lady in red 😻😉
This still hasn’t gotten a million views. 😂
Hello BSBA MKTG anong ginagawa niyo dito? HAHAHA
