So Expensive Season 6 Marathon - Наука та технологія
this is my first time watching this series and the question that kept popping up into my head for each item is not "why is it so expensive?" but instead "why are they still poor?"
damn the seller price is the one that is high, no wonder they look poor... like the cashew... 250%?? jeez~
Right makes you wonder... Like wtf!!??
A lot of them are at the bottom of a likely very long supply chain, with everyone along the way taking their cut, so they don’t get much from it all.
"Chain, chain, CHAIN!"

Just a friendly reminder : sleep is important
i feel attacked
Also, don't forget to drink water.
Also, remember to do exercise :)

I don't need sleep, I need ANSWERS
This series has the same mood as how it’s made. You can never get enough
I love how calming it is while also being educating.

The transition from the chicken episode to the coconut oil one (24:55) had me worried for a second, I thought they split him in half 😭
😂😂😂
To see the pride of these craftsmen is wonderful. Pride in one's trade, and learning a skill is a dying art. My Grandfather was a master carpenter. Back in our childhood, girls just did not do that. I loved watching him, the smell of lumber, and the skill he had.
Watching this while hand sewing a quilt makes me feel proud to be creating something with my own hands.
Agreed. My sister belonged to a quilting circle that was very "high end" and each piece was auctioned, or "raffled" off for a local Hospice. They lost members of that circle, and it was so sad for them all around. The craft and money lost on many levels, from those who weaved, vendors, and lastly the Benevolent fund at the Hospice. Just not enough people to keep it going. Sending you Positive blessings, and hoping all crafters can pass their skills on to future generations.
Now makes series called "so cheap" about cheapest trash you can find, how people are scammed and how it's made.

My dude you’re a genius
Honestly... I would watch that.
The powers that be would never. That would unravel their whole system.
Thanks
Fun fact - the fact that no one knows how eels reproduce had become a Meme among biologists
The Bloop
What’s a * got to do to get some eel diiiiiii
What are you talking bout, its been known for a long time how they reproduce?
@@TheFremontTroll07 person of culture I see!
I have seen their birth in a weird Japanese movie.
These stories just reinforce to me how important it is to be more selective about what I buy and to buy for life, not for right now. Not only does doing that support support skills and crafting it also reduces the amount of waste and the amount of production.
👌👌
this is soo privileged people shit!
@@gauravagarwal8966 the actual products they are referring to in the video? Hell yes! I doubt very many people watching this video can afford to buy any of these things. I sure as hell can't. But the principle I am talking about? That has nothing to do with "privilege".

Somebody @ Business Insider please change the "Black Opals" timestamp in the description to "00:55:36 - 01:01:44 Black Opals / 01:01:44 - 01:08:00 Violin Bows" to fix the timeline.
P please 🙏 me booties bracelets for a little while game 🎯🎮 and cut it ant 🐜 and my test results and cut my heart is important
Okay 4
@@sandracade641I disagree with this comment. Your views to the worlds are wrong!
⅘
12:26 - 19:06 is not about lotus silk. It's about gongs
And the black opal? 😂
Its about freaking gongs
Knobs and nipples bro.
It's because chapters are created by UA-cam based on how it parses the description. It looks like when youtube parsed the description, it thought the end time was the start time for the chapter.
Looking at the title I first thought this video was about why marathons were expensive
LMAO !!🤣
LMAOOOOO 🤣😆
truth is, they kinda are
Then u mist be dumb asf cuz it says: SEASON 6 MARATHON
The black gong the guy was painting with gold looking so pretty. I absolutely love the design
wow so much work goes into the lotus silk!
It would be nice to watch this as a marathon but I have already watched all of the episodes 😅
My family had had our knives for a few generations. Brought them with us to America, protected them during internment and relocation. They’re very important
Skysky Nomnom way to keep your culture for the next generations! So awesome. I wish your family health, happiness & luck for generations!
Have you seen Indian gold chains? The links are so fine and linked together in such away that it looks like it’s just a solid rope of gold
They should only take one claw so the crab has a real chance to survive.
That seems both vastly more logical, and actually intelligent for long term sustainability
Indeed, poor crabs without both claws they can’t even defend themselves or eat!!
In my opinion If you take the claws take the whole crab. That is so cruel to hurt these creatures for money.
Good luck with that...
@@MeediaArtur the reason the took only the claws was because of regulations, attempting to keep the population not-so-endangered
12:03 oddly refreshing to hear her saying that the younger generation has a better work ethic than the older generation
we’re so used to hearing the latter
It depends on what country you live in.
Thnk you for these informative videos! I can't sit still reading info from wiki or from a book, so these videos are absolutely welcome!
"There is nothing left".... a statement from a man who spent his entire life going into the forest to cut it down... LOL...
Which one are you talking about?
@@guardsmenedwin6213 With in the first 12 minutes.. That farmer, of trees, ... "IRONY" at its finest...
the trees are still there, it's just the bacteria infected ones you can no longer find. It's like 1 out of 10000 trees that has this "infection" to make it agar wood.
The process is more like a treasure hunt, not wood cultivation.
@@TuanNguyen-mx6oe except that most of the trees aren't there anymore either. They say in the same segment that the majority of the trees in that genus are considered critically endangered.
@@calebhughes975 It's not a genus, the trees are the same. It's a special bacteria infection that makes agarwood. The infection doesn't reproduce naturally, that's why it's extremely rare. You can see people injecting bacteria into the *same* trees for the man-made agar wood.
I worked briefly as a gardener when I was a teenager and I have distinct deprssing memories of working to prune a grove of trees of all of their healthy branches so the owners could marvel at the stunted mouldy remains, at the time I thought it was crazy...
I never thought I could be so interested in such diverse subjects,well done me!and well done you!
Very well done. We all learned so much watching this as a young family together. Many thanks! (great tool for teaching youngsters about subtitles; why they are needed and how they work ;~)
when you are a filipino and coconut oil is taken for granted
Ouch. That’s not cool there with the stone crab claws.
yeah true
claws grow back many times. Naturally.
If you pull them off at the wrong knuckle, the crab will die. So yeah, in short, people suck.
that would land you behind bars where i live !
😞
Aaah! Luxury & tradition. Those clever folks in SE Asia will make sure they get every last one of the wild agar trees, as they are doing with rosewood, rhino horns, and pangolins. Great channel, it shows the pleasure and profit in these activities!
It shows how modern economic forces extract resources until the point of destruction with traditions that previously have survived thousands of years. This is happening or has already happened in every continent, every country. It’s a global imbalance
@@alidelatierra When will it stop? How do we stop it?
Videos like this seem to glorify it ... to me, it's an obscenity.
@@gardengeek3041 to be honest I don’t know Im striving to become self reliant with respect to local indigenous land stewardship and we have to live in a way where we appreciate and give respect to Mother Earth and tend to the plants and animals and beings here. “Instructions for life don’t involve money they are spiritual: how to live in balance with all of creation”
what I don't get, is they say that the way they can tell it's not natural & drop the price is cause they're told, so why not just inject the bacteria into them & pretend they're poached natural ones, seems more profitable than seeking out rare natural ones to me
@@alidelatierra Sounds like you are doing exactly what the new age gurus have been telling us to do, ever since this uncontrolled consuming of the Earth became generally known. They advise that the most effective way, maybe the ONLY way to turn this around, is to change our own habits first. I too been doing it as you are many years now ... , always finding better ways to cut back.
But I get impatient and even slip into despair when I see one of these luxury spending videos. Then,it can seem hopeless. It's not. Thanks for reminding me that a lot of people out there think this way.
I love art and handmade anything… people skills are far more awesome than programming a robot.
If you've ever been a chicken-catcher, these birds are a NIGHTMARE !!
We had a cocnut monkey when I was a kid. Where and why my father bought it, I never knew. He traveled all over with the ANG. I would get in trouble for playing with it. Bit ir was so cute!
Anything that is in short amounts are always rare and expensive.

This is such a fascinating series! Thank you for uploading this. 💗
I will never complain about the cost of cashews ever again..
Very informative video.
But how did we figure out they were edible?!
I recall the first time I tried Indian rice pudding and wondering what that heavenly citrus-like flavor was. That’s when I discovered cardamom.
Yall notice the old mans got all his nails trimmed except that pinky nail. My boys over there sniffing more than burning trees 😂
Good catch my man
Son Mai lacquer painting is really interesting. You paint back to front, it won't dry if it's dry, it dries when it's humid and you sand off your work. That's cool!
that chef with the knives was very modest.
I spin lotus fiber not sure if it the lotus silk but it's still amazing I love it but I like to blend it with natural wool fibers such as rambouilette, polwarth or mernio and maybe other fine wools it really is a wonderful fiber to work with x
You should do UA-cam videos blending and spinning your yearns! That would be awesome.
That crab part is horrifying from a sea creature perspective
Wow the frequency in these gongs is excellent...... y'all are amazing in so many ways
With the opal minning this guy can use something called resonant sound you can send sound waves through The Rock and the opal will have a different ping than the surrounding rock making a better way of finding opal without having to dig through the rock
After the cost of the equipment, analysis, transporting things to/from the middle of Australia, and all of that competing against the operational cost of an Aussie with a pickaxe….
It’s just not viable. Not to mention I don’t even think the technology to differentiate slivers of gemstone amidst a mountain of rock is a thing. If it is, it’s certainly not worth what you would make off all the opals in lightning ridge. *specifically that the valuable opal is amidst tons of worthless opal.
in practice youd still spend a ton of money chasing veins with only a slightly higher ability to hone in on them when you already happen to be close. But if youre not already close, all that tech is gonna have quickly diminishing returns, high costs the harder and more you use it, and tons of unforeseen consequences that will sporadically hit like a kick in the balls when you can least afford it. would be like running an engine at peak and hoping it doesnt burst into flames, the engine being your pocketbook
Watching people pull strings off the lotus stems is satisfying
It is odd 🤔
Poor plant..... sacred plant and its flowers.
😎
Oh yes finally! Another marathon
The gong guy has the most beautiful smile 😊
Excellent video & very interesting content. Super fascinating & exceptional! Well done Business Insider! Cheers & Godspeed! Thanks for the excellent information!
I love hearing the native speakers of their respective languages describe their work & production & product! It adds depth to the imagery & signature uniqueness & a special quality to the experience of watching. Thank you so much for this content Business Insider!
I love the tuned gong. It has such a nice, almost holy resonant sound. The paiste gong sounds more like a crash cymbal but larger and harder to control lol
As a percussionist, both have very different purposes in an orchestra or ensemble. But SEAsia ensembles use tuned gongs to a very astonishing degree. Just take the gamelan in indonesia and java for example. Luckily, the western world is starting to enjoy melodic gongs in inventions like the Hang/Handpan.
Ioooioiyiioiyiioiyiii
Iconic episode reflective of the times. Thanks so much BI. This one had me riveted to my seat.
55:39 Frederick... Super proud. This bloke envisages the good attitude!
The Glass eels in Japan are brought from Maine U.S.A. as hatchlings, where they are caught and sold for that market in Asia.
Sake and eel shots is the strangest I've ever got drunk on.
Why I did that??

🤔
Wow, I live in Maine and never herd of that.. Good to know.. Thank you.
I've bought opal and have cut a few gemstones. Truly the most unique of stones no two are alike like a diamond can be with very little that serperates them while two opals can look alike but once you move the stone the colors and patterns can be completely different. So many great things being made in this video the only bad thing is manybarent given the avenue to make enough money to actually afford most of these things its fine to charge that money cause of the process and which work is needed for the product. But countries and governments horde money and give very little to its people and citizens. That's what's wrong with money and how its distributed to people great video amd products one day hope to buy a couple as right now I have only bought some opal but not a crazy amount just enough to say I have done so
Love of tradition is in the soul! These stories are about wonderful artists who keep history alive! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
I agree, love when the knife feels balanced.
WOW crazy just how hard the makers,producers an hard working ppl doing all the by hand work, WORK ! An they surely don't make the $$ they should...
Would you buy their stuff for the price stated in the video?
So that's where the word 'Agarbatti' comes from. Agarbatti are incense sticks used in Puja by us.
Muslims got it with them to India along with attar , its fine you use it for your Puja.
@@altruistization 🤦 We have mentions of incense from initial Vedic period i.e. atleast 2000-1500 BCE. The word Agar has a Sanskrit root, meaning Aroma. There were trades between Indian subcontinent and SE Asia. SE asian languages are heavily influenced by Sanskrit. About the sticks, there is no chance Muslims brought to India. It must be Buddhists because they started the tradition of making incense sticks in China and wandered from Indian subcontinent to East and SE asia.
@@vishnu4234 For youGuys everything has origin 1 million years ago in Sanskrit and in Hinduism, this is just fake baloney!
@@altruistization Can you read? 🧑🦯
That one gang banger dude pissed me off with how delicate he was banging that gong lol!
Watching beginning to end even though I've seen about half before. Fascinating.
I appreciate and applaud the hard work all of the people put into one or more jobs, in textiles, incense, gongs. All HUGH WOWS!
An employee gotta works for 2 months to make 1 scarf from Lotus’s silk (handmade) and sale it for $200. A scarf made by machine with global materials with a symbol “Gucci, LV….” easily sale for $500-$1000. This world is so imbalance.
Excellent information but the female narrator had the perfect voice and impeccable command of the English language that made the stories most enjoyable for me! Thank you!
Holy sht. When I was a kid I remember saying that some day someone was gonna make silk from the lotus stem. And now that I'm an adult it's so fkn cool to see my once unimportant idea come to life.
uh.... did you grow up in the 1890's? lotus silk weaving was invented in the early 1900's. Invented by a lady from a village in Myanmar or something if I remember correctly
Stone Crab Claw harvest doesn't work as well in practice. It's very uncommon to harvest a crab a 2nd time. Which is why most of the footage shows the crabs are shown with both claws on them. The reason why some claws are smaller than others is simply because 1 claw grows larger as the dominant claw, IT'S NOT a regenerated claw. If those crabbers truly cared about the sustainability of their product, they would have used a device to remove claws without risking the joint from being damaged. Snapping off the claw by hand would never guarantee the crab doesn't bleed out. They only hear on paper how the job works, but they clearly never seem to care about how to ensure their harvest is sustainable.
I love this Business UA-cam channel ❤️ powerful give video TNX❤️
Those chickens look like they have moon boots on :p
I learn more watching this series than anything else.

This channel kinda reminds me of Great Big Story, if you guys know what channel that is, it closed down though, good thing we have this. (:
@@brk1705 They never specified why, they just said they would close down. But, I’m sure you could find more info on it somewhere.
Aaaahhh i wanna eat rice that is cooked in bamboo with coconutmilk🤤🤤🤤
Love how they just added Violin Bows for no reason
Learned so much, thanks. For the industries that complain about the lack of the future, of their productions, whether it is for that special cheese and its secret ingredients, chess making, or the production of cashew nuts, and so forth, just trust and train/teach. You want a "legacy," not a termination! There has to be a balance. One cannot have your cake and eat it too, as is said in America😏😒🙄
I don't understand what exactly you're saying. Are you supporting the content or against it?
But why wouldn't you want to eat your cake too? What else would you do with cake?
Waste it?
I never understood that saying
What's extremely ironic is that the very people whose hands create or process these super expensive products remain to live in poverty. Where did all the money go? I think you all know the answer.
That's just the point of our system...
We are living in a world, where a few rich families can rule the world, by buying corrupt politicians who will do anything to stop real politicians, with true visions, from climbing up the ranks, till they would have real power, because if they would be able to climb that high, they would realize what a shit show is going on all over the world..
And these ruling rich families have installed an exclusive economy, together with the lower rich families, where all these handcrafted products are getting sold for prices higher than anyone of us could ever afford, while they bought the products from highly skilled but poor people, in countries without any help from the law.
We, the luxury slaves are another level of slaves. We can profit from the system, because the poorest of the world will craft our cheap goods. Without them, the money the rich people. Are giving to us for our work, wouldn't last very long...
We wouldn't be able to afford anything without these poorest of all economy slaves. So they are stuffing us with iPhones and oder useless crap, so that we spend all our life's working for them, just to spend the hard earned money for the products they are giving to us..
All these things are creating a hell of a spiral, where all the money will flow back to the rich ones and every now and then someone from us will make it to the upper ranks.
This mechanism is just there to keep us calm and let us think, that anyone cna make it, as long as we work hard and give our best, what's pure bullshit.
If everybody on the planet would give his best all day and go ot9 collage, making just perfect scores, getting super good titles and do anything, to do everything not just good, but perfect... In the. End, that would change nothing.
There aren't enough well paid jobs for everybody and so the double doc in medicine and psychology would have to work for Starbucks and seep vodfe tho those, who had enough luck to get one of the rare jobs that where made for their expertise.
Also there isn't enough money, to make anyone happy. Every dollar that is laying on the bank accounts of the rich ones, isn't there to be earned anymore. It is unreachable for us, because as long as they won't spend it, it's gone for our economy and the next point is, that most of the people have high loan's on their backs... So there isn't just not enough money to earn, there is to much minus to be nullified.
The money that is reachable for the lower classes, wouldn't ever be enough to just nullify the minus of the many credits.
In fact that means that someone has to lose everything, so that another person can earn the lost money, to nullify the credit running on his or her name or to earn enough to live a normal life, without permanent fear.
So we can see... It's a big lie.
We are fucked, because the people here won't bite the hand that pretended to feed us, while it robbed anything from us to be truth..
And the people in other countries, like Africa and India, are that poor, that they are to involved in surviving the next day, to start a real revolution.
People of the west are stupid enough to think they can benefit from the system and the others are to poor, to have time to the en think about changing the system and all together we are manipulated and surpressed.
And that's also the reason why these excellent working and skilled. People are poor, while their ridiculously well done work is getting sold for millions or thousands of dollars...

If 5 people work on one lotus silk scarf for 5 hours each, and the scarf is sold for $200, that’s $8 per hour. The products produced take a significant amount of time and materials, which both take money. A knife requires metal, costing money, equipment, costing money, and labor time, costing money.
While these products are very high quality, the input costs are more or less equal to the amount made. Mass-produced products are of inferior quality, but unless someone needs the expensive version for some reason (i.e. professional violinists need top-quality bows) there’s no real reason to shell out significantly more money for what amounts to basically the same product to most people.
Wait does that mean that over 80% of the crabs with both claws are immortal?
Yes. Fear the immortal crab overlords.
UA-cam has this as a recommended video for almost every video I watch here lately.
Gives in and clicks. This better be good!
no wonder the crabs die more easily when their claws are harvested - the ones that have both removed can't eat as easily anymore nor fight for territory to keep eating
Very nice 👌... But please correct the time stamp.. nothing is correct after opal😟
24:25 dont sell the super chickens... breed them
Great stuff! Thanks for the most excellent video.
@James Hama Great! Thanks for asking. Put a dent in my car this morning but, other than that good day!
Great to just sit back and watch for a hour 👍
Or 2
Or 2
I always thought they could only take one claw 😒
I will never eat that.
This video is actually extremely interesting 🤔.
From first industry to the end,I think they all related. From Agarwood for good smell for temple, then silk for clothes use in temple, gong for sound too..etc..
They brought back dinosaur feet on chickens! Rawr!
For the record, coconut oil isn’t bad for you. The saturated fat health advisory has been in place to keep profits from soy products up. Lot of government officials are invested in the trans fats industry.
Truth! The whole polyunsaturated fat scam was & is a way to use waste products as "food". Much like other industries, regulatory capture has resulted in Americans being sicker, fatter & more dependent on medicines than other populations. Win-win for big pharma. If folks really knew how corrupt corporations have become, the crap would hit the fan!
Also, most things in moderation aren’t bad for you. Even if saturated fats were negative health-wise, eating coconut oil in moderation will probably be fine unless you have an allergy.
You should do one dealing with soccer like "what it takes to survive in the world of soccer"
Yes
it will be a 5 second video saying wear shin pads
I would love to see that.
How could I choose which product is the greatest when they all make me swell with emotion? The Lotus Silk process is fascinating.
Okay, um, the Dong Tao chicken freak me out! 😲😬
Didn't know Sean Penn was in the opal mining business!
Speaking of Myanmar, are there any updates about the military overtake of the country?
None of our freaking business, should be the political correct attitude.
I don't mind eating the dragon chicken. I've come to the conclusion that Vietnam's culture is expensive and intricate and the people deserve to be paid more for all those skills and products
Interesting good to know nature can teach everyone a lot
This is amazing.
Thanks to Agadmator, I knew about 60% of the chess players at a glance.
About the purple bamboo salt... You say it's infused with the bamboo oil's "good stuff", yet, how can you be sure any of that "good stuff" remains, and not burned out by the multiple baking processes, the last one being the hottest, so hot the whole salt batch melts and merges into one big chunk?
I believe it's more likely to be a deeply smoke infused salt, than "oil" infused.
Still, i wouldn't sell it as a "medicinal" product.
Asian luxury's worth is known to be more based on common belief and tradition, more than actual facts, some even being more harmful than beneficial, like it happens with coconut oil. 🤷
Rhino horns and tiger DONG!
Let me guess you’ve never tried it, just pretending you know more than a literal expert in that field who deals with the material every day…
The creativeness of the lotus silk is crazy. I know it was found by accident, and some bored woman figured it out.
Thank you for this :)
Hi Carol
Definitely prefer the bossed gong from Thailand to the Paiste one. The bosses gong sounds so relaxing, so beautiful!!!!
I agree!! The tone of the Thailand gong is beautiful. That Paiste gong had me looking around in terror.
The Paiste gong sounded like a thunderstorm to me. I wouldn’t listen to it for an hour, but it wasn’t scary.
Sanskrit texts is older than Ugaritic one? Good to know this info. Thanks
Son Mai paintings are so beautiful ❤
Thanks for sharing this modern processing method
I'm sorry but on the the leather topic... the chrome tanned leather doesn't use chrome. It uses chromium an incredibly toxic chemical.
chromium sulfate to be precise. And if it was that incredible toxic, we'll all be dead because 99%of shoes, jackets and handbags are chrome tanned leather
Where did you get this information?
Chromium can cause respiratory track irritation when inhaled.. Its not an incredible toxic chemical..
It can cause cancer if exposed for to long, but if you didn't know there can be found chromium in several types of food and even in drinking water.
There are even chromium supplement you can take..
so the smell from leather, is that from the hide or the chromium sulfate? Cause I get sick from leather, but still love it as a material, so if I got vegetable leather, would that be usable to me, without giving me the migraines I get from regular stuff?
@@mehere8038 I've been in the leather business for 25 years so I barely even notice the smell anymore, but at one point I had a store selling jackets. I got a batch made in China, and by the end of the day my eyes would be swollen red from the fumes coming off it, so God knows what chemical they used. Veg tanned leather has a great natural leather smell and I doubt anything about it would make you sick, but all garments and upholstery and (except from the very expensive ) shoes are chromium tanned leather. Veg tanned is the stiff leather you'd find in a horse saddle, belts, etc..
@@Automedon2 ah, thanks :) & that kinda answers my question, cause I react to horse stuff too :(
I do have lots of allergies, including to natural stuff as well as artificial chemicals, so I guess it's probably the leather itself for me :(
That's great info, cause it saves me researching if I can buy veg tanned stuff to avoid my issue, (and wasting a LOT of money on it) I guess not :(
very much appreciate your reply!
Can't wait for more "it takes years to master" Japan videos.
I am pleased to meet you💖😍🌹
This is where a joint takes me 🤸
