@@ramonek9109 but it isnt, there are examples of beautiful architecture from all periods including the modern day. The only reason its considered "more beautiful" is because of arbitrary value added through the survival of the structure, buildings are typically destroyed and rebuilt over time and thus survival is marked in the human brain as an abnormality and thus we assume its because its beautiful and thus introduce value for it. Are they beautiful, sure, but the reason its "more beautiful" is because of personal preference and arbitrary wealth
Also that’s not the reason obesity is on the rise. It’s mostly to do with food affordability. Like it’s easier and cheaper to get fast food than it is to get healthy ingredients and cook up a meal. And also the amount of sugar pumped into food
So my man reckons he is ~40 years old, a millionaire and was a public school teacher for 20 of those years.... So he started working as a teacher before he even left school at all, worked as a teacher his entire life and made millions of $.... The dissonance is strong in this one 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And don't forget that throughout these years he still took time out from teaching and grinding to get his millions to go to the church, become a conaseur of medieval and Renaissance architecture, and of course, lift weights
It's not too uncommon for teachers to be millionaires, actually. But usually it involves investment. Years of investment. But the way this guy acts, I doubt he invested in anything.
Ah the good old days when I missed half my children's childhood to fight the germans with 50% chance of death or loss of limb and create a generational mental health epidemic by having mistreated PTSD, the good ol days
The good old days, Buzz bombs and rickets, and having twelve kids cos over half would die of measles before they were 5 years old. yeah, the good old days
No honestly there's one historical era I'd actually call "good old days", that being the Greeks. They invented democracy (not perfect, but revolutionary), they advanced mathematics, physics, geography and philosophy, homosexuality was widely accepted and women weren't treated like bullsh*t (at least in Sparta, where women could have several men, children and a lot of money. Athens not so much.). Plus their gods are cool.
"they used to beat people in schools, you think they were better back then??" unfortunately there are indeed people who think suffering as a child makes you grow up into a better person or something. it's disgusting
@@kyrazz128 yeah, knowing the reasons doesn't make it any better. i think bullies are gross too. Really anyone who decides to take their issues out on other people, especially kids, are just gross and should maybe go to therapy instead
There’s a bit of survivorship bias when it comes to historical architecture. Those big fancy gothic churches were an exception and not the norm. A lot of the churches at the time were small and unimpressive, but because they were small and unimpressive there wasn’t really Any reason to pour effort into preserving them. Think of it this way, you’re going to put more effort into avoiding getting a 600 dollar jacket dirty than you are a 10 dollar jacket. The same can be said with art. Those gothic churches were expensive and took hundreds of years to build, so of course they were treated with care. Also most of the budget for cathedrals came from donations and the clergy’s own pockets. Trying to get the budget for a building like that in the modern day isn’t feasible. It’s just more cost effective for pastor John to run his church out of the abandoned Pizza Hut than it is to build a new one.
There are a lot of the humble churches that have survived as well though. Also, I`m very happy that we don`t spend quite so much resources for penis extension projects of the 1% any more. Because that is what those massive cathedrals and mansions are.

The sculpture argument is so dumb tbh, because back in the day people would literally let artist live with them for years to finish one sculpture, they got 'free' food and housing for essentially one commission. People aren't doing that shit today so no wonder sculptures like that are rare
And the funny thing is that we, as modern society, could technically afford supporting more artists than we did in the past. The issue is that the wealth is stuck in useless economic bubbles designed for nothing but making the rich richer

" 'I was a public school teacher for 20 years' no you f-ing weren't, you didn't even know what a windmill was" thanks for being an icon, George! Also about the US, the only walkable areas are in the downtown cities for people who live right there, which is super expensive and not an option for most. The cheaper an area is, the further out in the middle of nowhere it is and NO public transport, so you HAVE to have a car as a necessity, which is a big expense suddenly, and of course some people don't feel comfortable driving at all. So if you don't have a lot of money, you still can't actually live in cheaper areas if you can't afford a reliable car, meaning you can't REALLY have the cheaper lifestyle you are deceived into thinking is an option "if all else fails". In most areas that aren't zoned as business areas or are a housing development in the suburbs, there isn't even a consistent (or ANY) sidewalk for someone to ride a bike on if they could. The whole country is built with the idea EVERYONE has a car unless you are in like downtown NYC and never leave, which for people who live even in suburbs, is a problem getting to the doctor office or other important places if they are elderly or have a health issue that makes them nervous/unable to drive. There are little expensive communities here and there that are built "for people" instead of "for cars", but unfortunately they're only an option for rich people who like the idea of the "active European lifestyle".
@@jackoh991 The classic Dutch windmills are windmills because they harness wind to power a mill or pump. The modern skinny ones are called wind turbines and convert wind into electricity. Actual windmills stopped being used as the primary way to mill with the rise of coal in the 1800s, but some places still opperate a windmill or water-wheel as a historic attraction. Like there's a town in Michigan (USA) called "Holland" where they have an authentic working Dutch windmill that you can buy grain from. Even if it's only a novelty tourist historic thing, it still is cool to see one being used!

12:17 This is the Eschenheimer Turm in Frankfurt. It is a city gate from 1349, we don´t have city gates anymore and we also don´t charge people with taxes if you want to come into town, just use the Autobahn. If we were able to buildt a skyscraper in 1349, the city gate would have been one of them.
Just a teeny tiny nitpicking here. The 'windmills' at the very start, the ones from the Netherlands. Only very few of them were actually used for milling flour, most of them were wind-powered pumping stations to pump out all the groundwater, or seawater seeping in through the ground, the whole land-reclamation stuff the Dutch are famous for.
"Why don't they build buildings like that anymore" 1. Its expencive as shit. The materials and the wages for the workers were not really an issue when those buildings were built because you simply didnt pay people enough and materials were way cheaper/just stole them. 2. It takes time. The biggest church in scandinavia took 165 years to build and you don't get that time to build houses today. People can't go 165 years without a home, hospital, school and so on. A teacher for 20 years? Sure.
Fascist Twitter is a deeply strange and whacky place.

the "built for cars, built for people" tweet is especially funny given elon is responsible for many areas only having infrastructure for cars. His dumb hyperloop is the main reason why LA doesnt have good rail infrastructure in development
5:19 I actually visited that modern church in the UK, and it was seriously impressive. If you go there and don’t think it has any beauty to it, then you fundamentally don’t understand what beauty of art are.
Like CNN or not, I literally cannot even recall the last time they even came up on my UA-cam feed. I cannot believe people still think that virtue signalling about disliking CNN is a good look.
Would only agree with this account on cooking being something schools could teach. Not as its own designated class, more like a themed week or school trip thing where kids just learn some basic stuff around it, maybe also some cleaning and healthy eating to give them some ideas. One sadly can't quite rely on parents teaching their kids that stuff and could help reduce some eating related health problems and what not by giving kids some idea of how that useful skill is done.
Sculptors and Artists back in the day were sponsored by wealthy people, so if you want to blame anyone for the lack of "good art" today, maybe blame the misers who won't finance it anymore. Although let's be real, they're not saying "things were better before" because of the art. It's not a coincidence that the wife & kids in the "desirable" scenarios are all blonde...
Lol, I didn’t notice that the women were blonde lol. I don’t get why he’s so against women wanting to work, surely it would be better to help with the finance instead of having all the pressure on your shoulders?? People are unnecessarily ignorant and stupid 🤦🏽♀️
Love that the guy calls the leaning tower of Pisa "the good old architecture", when the only reason that thing even leans like that is the incompetence of the people that designed it. It wasn't meant to be like that. They just built it on ground that really didn't fit it and it was way too heavy for it.

In the "subjects that school should teach" i have learned or been offered classes in high school that literally teach all of those things, weightlifting was a class, public speaking was a class, art appreciation was in every art class, networking was taught in 2 classes, food and nutrition, home ec, etc. this man is clearly 40 years old and has never taught in his life
2:19 Hate to break it to you George, but those mills aren't/weren't used to mill grain, they were used to mill water....(well, pumping water actually, but the idea of milling water just sounded funny)
12:12 German cities typically do not build many skyscrapers and it's not something Germany is known for. This guy has never been to Germany and if he was, then probably exclusively to Frankfurt am Main. Also, the reason that many cities in Germany look a bit ugly in certain areas is because a lot of them were literally completely destroyed in the war.
I was literally thinking yesterday about how I could use a big lad Memeulous video in my life and nowhere it is. 😊 Big ups to you, funny vid as always. 💓
Yes schools became more standardised in their building layout so they could be built quicker and for more people and cheaper. There’s also no need for them to be complex individually designed buildings as that’d be way more expensive.
4:12 I’ve been to the top of that building it’s called the Perth bell tower where I live in Perth Western Australia. You can go inside and there’s rooms that show the history of the bell tower and at the top it’s there’s a beautiful view also every hour the bells ring and it’s really cool

5:20: Speaking of churches in Italy, since I'm from there: It wasn't a "cult of beauty", or at least not in the way they intend it. It was more like a "power show off" During Reinessance both the Church and the ruling dinasties (the Medici, in the case of Florence, as shown in the video) used to finance many artists, and that includes painters, architects, sculptors and so on, to show how powerful and rich they were, since creating gigantic buildings and filling the city with art was a sign of richness and stability. The reason why they are so beautiful is because they took Greek and Roman art as a model. Of course there was a better understanding of the importance of art, which is not often the case lately, but there are many facts to consider. Also, that "modern" Italian church is not the model for every modern church in Italy. It's a very unique structure made by contemporary artist Massimiliano Fuksas in Foligno, and it's basically both a church and a small museum. So, as you can guess, it's not crappy as this guy wants you to think, and it's not something that represents an entire category
About those cities in 1623. You know what else was happening in that time period? The Thirty Years War, which killed an estimated 8 Million people, most of them civilians, and killed 20% of all ethnic Germans in the entire world.

2. It takes time. The biggest church in scandinavia took 165 years to build and you don't get that time to build houses today. People can't go 165 years without a home, hospital, school and so on.
A teacher for 20 years? Sure.
Fascist Twitter is a deeply strange and whacky place. Like when you see those ones where there's an advert from the 1950's of a family having a summer BBQ and it says 'REMEMBER WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU ...' - mate, most families have BBQs in summer, wtf? No-one 'took it from you' you actual sea-cucumber.
George finally learned not to upload at 1am
Gone Wrong!
hahhah he actually did , but removed it instantly hahah
2:50 not even true. bridges like the one that are labelled for "after ww2" were also built before ww2. theres many bridges like that that existed in ww2
I’ve been to the UK ‘church after modernity’ it’s in Liverpool - it’s pretty on the outside but on the inside it’s one of the most beautiful churches I have ever been to
6:59 I love to think this guy's religious and just getting upset over churches being available in what seems to be a poorer community where they wouldn't have the funds to build an entire cathedral
How silly of him
Literally one of the dumbest people on twitter lmao
I love George’s laugh 😂
6:33 Mocking addiction to cheap dopamine hits is one hell of a fucking flex from someone that pays for Twitter
aah the good ol' days leaving my rotten copy pasted house in london, crossing the street full of shit and toxic wastes and going to work 15h in a dangerous factory and getting lung cancer at 20 because of the fumes the factory release freely in the city! It's just not the same anymore!
6:17 I love how he references the flatiron building as a "building before" when it STILL EXISTS
That's not the Flatiron building. That's the original One Times Square.
@@OttomanGovernorOfBurundi ah, the more you know ig. Thanks
the "Germany in 1920 vs Germany in 2020" is just...
I don't like the implications of "Germany was better in the early to mid 1900's" you know.
A lot of people gorify the time, not gonna lie the picture of Wilhelm II coming out of his palace and everyone cheering draws the picture of a stable and good country. But it really wasn´t for everyone that wasn´t white and ethnicly german. The german gerneral von Lettow-Vorbeck genocided an entire ethnic group from the face of the earth and anti-Semitism was something that already was very dep inside the heads of the people. Germany was a country that was reunited way to late, politicly stil stuck in the past
I'm a man who makes £25k a year. My wife makes double that and will soon be a full category manager in procurement which benchmarks at £60k-£70k a year. When we have kids you're goddamn right I'm gonna be the one looking after them. Her career and income are way more important than mine. I believe that humility is what makes a man, not this obsession with ego. A real man knows when it's his time to take a backseat.
you dropped smthn 👑
I'm impressed George knows what a mill is used for.
mate it's not exactly rocket science
he said "that's not a windmill". It is a windmill...
@@kerank4157 It’s a wind turbine
@@Jamal-xj1vk yeah, my bad, I got confused :|
Schools stopped offering cooking classes ("home ec") in the US quite a while ago, unfortunately. Glad to know they didn't in England :')
11:23 that actually is the same person. It's Ethan Suplee.
The thing is schools DO have weightlifting, my high school freshman PE class was actually just weightlifting.
the "built for cars, built for people" tweet is especially funny given elon is responsible for many areas only having infrastructure for cars. His dumb hyperloop is the main reason why LA doesnt have good rail infrastructure in development
11:24. That is the same person, his name is Ethan Suplee, good actor and massive body transformation
5:19 I actually visited that modern church in the UK, and it was seriously impressive. If you go there and don’t think it has any beauty to it, then you fundamentally don’t understand what beauty of art are.
The “before CNN” one tells you everything you need to know. These people are Trump people. Enough said.
Like CNN or not, I literally cannot even recall the last time they even came up on my UA-cam feed. I cannot believe people still think that virtue signalling about disliking CNN is a good look.
Yep, explains the stupidity
Would only agree with this account on cooking being something schools could teach. Not as its own designated class, more like a themed week or school trip thing where kids just learn some basic stuff around it, maybe also some cleaning and healthy eating to give them some ideas. One sadly can't quite rely on parents teaching their kids that stuff and could help reduce some eating related health problems and what not by giving kids some idea of how that useful skill is done.
Here in Finland we have cooking classes we can take as optional courses at 11/12 years old and they're great
Lots of schools teach cooking, but yeah, agreed, a good skill to learn.
Sculptors and Artists back in the day were sponsored by wealthy people, so if you want to blame anyone for the lack of "good art" today, maybe blame the misers who won't finance it anymore.
Although let's be real, they're not saying "things were better before" because of the art. It's not a coincidence that the wife & kids in the "desirable" scenarios are all blonde...
Lol, I didn’t notice that the women were blonde lol. I don’t get why he’s so against women wanting to work, surely it would be better to help with the finance instead of having all the pressure on your shoulders?? People are unnecessarily ignorant and stupid 🤦🏽♀️
"the 1620's had such amazing architecture and culture.. why cant we go back now"
-little timmy, born in 2012
Also the 1620s: *Massive war all across Europe with such ferocity that a third of Germany died*
10:55 public speaking is such a huge part of my school's curriculum 😭
Exactly, In English. We had to do presentations and stuff, he hasn’t been to a school lol
Love that the guy calls the leaning tower of Pisa "the good old architecture", when the only reason that thing even leans like that is the incompetence of the people that designed it. It wasn't meant to be like that. They just built it on ground that really didn't fit it and it was way too heavy for it.
George disappears for 2 weeks and comes back like NO ONE THOUGHT YA DIED.... 😅😅😅 honestly was so pumped to see this notification. Been so long but you definitely deserve breaks ❤
Real ones have already watched 3 minutes of this

Are you talking about when it was uploaded at 1am
people with no life
@@Engaged.tourist Calm down Luke no need to get feisty
The top one is a windmill, the bottom one is a wind turbine. They're used for completely different reasons. No way this guy is a teacher.
As much as I hate to say that twitter account is correct. At 11:24, that is the same person, that's Ethan Suplee, he was....that guy in American History X, and Randy in My Name is Earl...also the guy who buys drugs in Clerks 2. But yeah, same person
for anyone wondering, at 4:12, the righthand building is the Perth Bell Tower! It lights up rainbow at night
yessir, it’s even more gorgeous in person
7:00 this church is clearly also a pizza hut building lmao
6:38 is that church an old Pizza Hut?!
Yep 💀
In the "subjects that school should teach" i have learned or been offered classes in high school that literally teach all of those things, weightlifting was a class, public speaking was a class, art appreciation was in every art class, networking was taught in 2 classes, food and nutrition, home ec, etc. this man is clearly 40 years old and has never taught in his life
Reading maps actually does go hard tho.
The Legend of Reading Maps
Me and the boys reading maps together
11:25 that is the same person lmao. Progress so good it was unbelievable
11:09 I must be the complete opposite of this guy, because the one on the right is the dream.
2:19 Hate to break it to you George, but those mills aren't/weren't used to mill grain, they were used to mill water....(well, pumping water actually, but the idea of milling water just sounded funny)
0:10 Spencer from Thomas the Tank lol
By the sound of it, this person needs to move to Europe, very close to one of the old towns/centres. That'll make him happy. Probably not though.
"cities in 2023"
proceeds to show a photo of one of the oldest European settlements in the US (1624)
Lmao
12:12 German cities typically do not build many skyscrapers and it's not something Germany is known for. This guy has never been to Germany and if he was, then probably exclusively to Frankfurt am Main. Also, the reason that many cities in Germany look a bit ugly in certain areas is because a lot of them were literally completely destroyed in the war.
Everything has just become too WOKE nowadays, I miss 1782 where humanity could LIVE and we werent controlled by this WOKE MADNESS, the good old days
Lol, they really are simpletons
The racial segregation and misogyny were great too amiright?
My granddad, may god rest his soul, used to go to the beach in a suit.
They knocked down a tiny crumbling church where I live and built a One Stop. I feel like he'd faint if he knew.
He’d cry and throw a fit like Stewie Griffin lol
I was literally thinking yesterday about how I could use a big lad Memeulous video in my life and nowhere it is. 😊 Big ups to you, funny vid as always. 💓
Yes schools became more standardised in their building layout so they could be built quicker and for more people and cheaper. There’s also no need for them to be complex individually designed buildings as that’d be way more expensive.
4:12 I’ve been to the top of that building it’s called the Perth bell tower where I live in Perth Western Australia. You can go inside and there’s rooms that show the history of the bell tower and at the top it’s there’s a beautiful view also every hour the bells ring and it’s really cool
3:14 there's literally like 3 schools in my area that looks like the "old" one what in gods name
Trad accounts that praise Musk who pumps out cars that look like modernist boring soap will never cease to confuse me.
10:55 interesting fact, most of these here are things the nazis wanted focused heavily on in their curriculum
Yep, the man is a walking stop sign lol
I would love more train stations like those tho they look really nice
So this is the bullshit that my misogynistic father and brother say. They wonder why I don't answer their calls 🙄
Sexist people are so dense, it’s sickening lmao. My dad is quite sexist and kind of like this man as well, I don’t talk to him either. Glad my brother is nothing like him, sorry about your situation love!
That water tower is a dying light 2 concept art piece
11:22 is the same person, his name is ethan suplee, he has a major weight loss
Man this is so boomer it hurts ☠️
11:23 That man was the same person.Ethan Suplee. look him up and his transformation.
10:48 Bruh they literally teach weight lifting, I do it Lmao 🤣
@4:12 The bell tower goes hard

Speaking of churches in Italy, since I'm from there:
It wasn't a "cult of beauty", or at least not in the way they intend it. It was more like a "power show off"
During Reinessance both the Church and the ruling dinasties (the Medici, in the case of Florence, as shown in the video) used to finance many artists, and that includes painters, architects, sculptors and so on, to show how powerful and rich they were, since creating gigantic buildings and filling the city with art was a sign of richness and stability. The reason why they are so beautiful is because they took Greek and Roman art as a model. Of course there was a better understanding of the importance of art, which is not often the case lately, but there are many facts to consider.
Also, that "modern" Italian church is not the model for every modern church in Italy. It's a very unique structure made by contemporary artist Massimiliano Fuksas in Foligno, and it's basically both a church and a small museum. So, as you can guess, it's not crappy as this guy wants you to think, and it's not something that represents an entire category
About those cities in 1623. You know what else was happening in that time period? The Thirty Years War, which killed an estimated 8 Million people, most of them civilians, and killed 20% of all ethnic Germans in the entire world. Much, much worse than anything today in those cities he complains about.
