    Ancestors cut down the trees, dug the ditches and canals, tiled and drained the swamps, plowed up the landscape, strip mined the coal, quarried the limestone, slate, and flagstones, built roadbeds and drainage areas, blasted the mountain sides, dredged the natural waterways, drilled the oil, and 99% have no clue about the changes that are still taking place to our landscape.

    Right outta the incubators but start mining gold? Seems like gold would be insanely useless to have for a group of people who dont have any tech that can require such a fine metal, but they were out mining it EVERYWHERE... in horrible conditions. Hmm some part of the puzzle is missing on that part if the story.

    Great video, as always and I agree with you 99%. One part that I don't agree with? The monetary incentive. IF money was the only driver, you would not have volunteerism. Seems the poor are the ones most likely to volunteer and do work for free. You don't see Bill Gates working a soup kitchen or anything, do you? My brother spent his own money on putting a lawn into his back yard, he did all the work his self with the help of his wife, they made NO money doing this. They did they work because they didn't want a mud pit behind their house. My mom tore up the carpet in the bathroom recently to install tile her self, which is making her NO money. (we rent). I've spent more money making art, music and video games than I made back. $20,000 of supplies and schooling and I only made about $3000 back so, I am in debt to myself yet, I still create things for the love of creating them. Money is a FALSE incentive. Capitalism is going to destroy us all. What I want you to do is research what a Resource Based Economy is and what it could mean for human sustainability. I've studied a RBE for like, 15 years or so? IF you need help with researching the topic, there are plenty of docs/lectures from people like PEter Joseph and Jacque Fresco. You are right, we do suffer a mental disease, we all do and that disease is MONEY itself. It is a FALSE incentive. It empowers weak fools like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, the Duponts, the Red Shields, ALL of them. Don't forget the WORST offender, War. War is a business, right? You said so yourself. Do you think war could happen in a Resource Based Economy? So, school yourself and perpetuate the idea. Why did I make my game? Not to make money but, to help those behind the RBE spread the idea like wildfire. THAT is the world I wanna see. Free humanity from pointless labor so that we may have the time to pursue true intellectualism. All money can do is waste resources and produce slaves too stupid to know that they are slaves with no choice but to work for someone else. Anyone wanna contest me? Go right ahead, I will SCHOOL and RULE you at no cost to you. Brandon out.

    The areas north of San Francisco were so wild and difficult to traverse that the elements kept a lot of people from getting to much of the Pacific Northwest. But they found a way eventually, once the word there was gold in these hills got out.
    The majority of our old growth redwoods from here in Humboldt County were used to create a good deal of the houses in San Francisco. They floated them down from Humboldt Bay to the San Francisco Bay. So, to me, San Francisco looks like a giant cemetery of tree mausoleums. Everywhere I look is dead old growth redwoods. They transferred the forest, and it's now become part of a concrete jungle but it was once part of a temperate rainforest. Only ~1% of our precious old growth still remains. 🌲💔

    Greetings. Great episode, thanks for sharing all this with us.
    I wanted to make a comment about the stump house @2:40.
    The centre removal question: Perhaps the centre was rotten/spongy and it was literally like scooping out ice cream from a tub.
    I think a common problem with any trees that get to a certain size is the 'heartwood' becoming soft. It's not necessarily a problem with some trees, they compensate for it with stronger outer sections of wood. I've seen soft centres before on what we would call big trees today, so I'm thinking these trees experienced similar things. I've also seen trees with soft inner wood that we're completely healthy and looked just fine, which is likely the category this giant would have fit into, explaining the soft inner but presumably good looking specimen to begin with.

      Only certain species will grow that big. There are oak trees 1000 years old that are still about the size of 100 yo.
      Oldest tree on earth is a bristlecone pine estimated to be 5,000 yo. & it's maybe only 30' tall.
      American chestnuts of Appalachia were huge but not sequoia huge. They were cut almost to extinction (some thought it was)
      I recently saw I guy that found an authentic 1 and was able to collect 1 single seed because, even tho each tree has both male & female parts, they mature at different times , so they're usually pollinated by other trees. This 1 survivor is the only 1 around and is a huge find in itself.
      Should I just do a visit about tress? Lol
      I can tell ya bout some trees 😂
      But I doubt anyone would listen unless I said "all trees are 200 years old because the earth gets wiped out every 200 years and civilization is only 200 yo old and we went from super advanced quantum machines back to steam engines and nobody remembers and...😮‍💨😴

      There were old growth trees all over the world that were chopped down for sure, however, there's only a few places in the world that can support the immense growth of Redwoods. They have specific needs and conditions and they simply will not grow in places where those conditions do not exist and they do not exist in most places. Redwoods are special. They are a prehistoric remnant from the days of megafauna and megaflora, a living fossil. In prehistoric times there were some exceptionally large trees of other species but they did not survive into modern times the way the Redwood trees did and most still did not reach the kind of scale the Redwoods have achieved.

    Many buildings were already here. Just because settlers built wooden homes doesn't negate the amazing, massive gothic style stone buildings with elaborate underground tunneling which all have the same impossible story: built in a year by someone who never built anything before, burned down 5 years later, rebuilt again. No records of where/how they got the materials, impossible logistics, etc. Examples: ua-cam.com/video/sQSO201RjpM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/uQCK380-NY4/v-deo.html

    Interesting video. I would only add that Rosseau was wrong, in the sense that any person, family or tribe that sets up a place to live inherently has property rights to that area, presuming that no one else has claimed it prior.
    So, the concept of private property proceeds directly from Natural Law, and the intrinsic right to eke out a place to call your own. No strong men, robber barons or capitalism required.

    • @6assB4SS
      @6assB4SS 7 місяців тому +3

      It is kind of ridiculous but mostly sad I think. I see it as a symptom of deep desperation, people so disenchanted with today's reality they have to hang on to the idea that there has got to be something else, something more, something stolen or hidden. They need to believe that the past was not what we're told so they can believe that the future has potential to be way different than what it looks like it will be. I don't think the earth is flat but I have a small appreciation for the people that are determined to exist in an alternate reality. Kind of like I imagine it would have been nice to live in a time when magic and fairies were very real. Maybe it's because many people these days are atheist and something about being human needs to believe in more than our proven reality.
      Idk, just musing.

    It is not the lumber structures in question. Questions arise when “old maps” show brick and mortar castles or large buildings here, way before Spaniards. And, when large concrete and brick buildings are prominent throughout a region where we 20th 21st centurians did not build them, not in just “2 years” after “fires” and where many happened to be 2/3 buried from a deluge. Lots of premade brick, lots of concrete, lots of onsite machinery needed, lots of men to scaffold and hoist, then to add mould embellishments to mortar...
    Did we do that? Did large people help or was everyone larger than now? Why the mercury globes and copper finials at highest roof points? Why the red brick embedded with copper wire?
    Today, you can barely get a contractor to do a job as planned or as properly coded.

    The old world buildings aren't the crappy wood ones all around them. Just the beautiful large construction that is clearly beyond the level of the wood built structures.
    The old world is the one buried under 10-40 feet of mud.
    Ironically the Mud could very well have come from cutting too many trees causing extreme landslides. All that water from all those giant trees has to go somewhere. Cause and effect.

    Wow , coming from the UK I cannot believe how much timber has been cut down in the pictures and the diameter of some are quite unbelievable. As an engineer and tradesman myself I have always saved off cuts / materials of wood / steel etc as they have a value, not necessarily monetary but I hate the wasteful throw away culture .
    The UK used to be full of Oak trees but similar happened to over there in the states and probably Europe too .
    Apparently our Oak was used for building navy vessels and housing . Never really thought about it this way but America has photos, we have none due to the lack of photographic technology at the time of Napoleon etc .
    Point I’m trying to make here is how can America have been so far behind Europe? .Vast resources , vast amounts of fertile land , stable climate ? Yet according to history book’s evolution of the states only estimated when the British ( yeah I know RC Church invaded ) .
    Is it because the native north and South Americans were non religious and worshiped the sun stars and respected nature prior to the RC spreading their wings ?
    Even I doubt that Columbus was the first to discover America and even this is an unrealistic assumption due to past human abilities to travel across land and seas .
    There does seem a conflict of interest between the motives of the RC’s and accurate descriptions of history. 🤔🙄.

But the premise is flawed bc in your example the gov gave a license to one person. That is the root of the problem. Gov choosing winners which is not pure capitalism. I’m not even sure I’m a pure laze fare capitalist. But just giving you some constructive criticism. Love your work. Thank you take care.
