    Hello Milo, not sure if you'll see this, but I've got some experience professionally gaffing for film sets. The hotspots and uneven exposure levels are always tricky for setups like yours, but since you aren't loving your interior light, you should try:
    A sheer curtain/sheet over the window to gently diffuse the light.
    Some reflection sources in the room to brighten the left side up while still keeping natural sunlight as your primary light source.
    And if refelction sources arent possible or won't hit enough of you as you move in and out of the reflected source, try a large extremely white sheet hanging like a divider to your left just out of frame. It will reflect a ton of light back at you at whatever angle you hang it at, and brighten up your background too.
    Hope it helps, and love your content!

    For anyone looking for the important parts of the video:
    3:04 - Alcoholic Cat
    4:35 - Taking notes on the laptop
    5:17 - Scanning the terrain
    6:38 - Unjustly held against their will
    7:50 - Escaped from arm jail
    22:42 - Curious about the cabinet of curios
    24:45 - Extremely graceful descent from the cabinet
    42:44 - Returned to captivity
    There's also some stuff about some underwater stuff in there, kindof annoying how youtubers pad their run time with irrelevant stuff.

    14:59 For Mr. Rossi and the curious; according to a quick dip down a rabbit hole, the Silver Pit was so named by fishermen for generations because it was abundant in fish, particularly sole which had high market value. Thus, it was considered just as valuable as silver to them; like "silver from the sea," if you will.

    Hey Milo, have you heard of the Shaman of Bad Dürrenberg? She lived about 9000 years ago and her burial was discovered in Saxony Anhalt, Germany. The bits and pieces about her life archeologists were able to put together are absolutely fascinating. Now here's one of the most amazing details: She died _several centuries before_ the lake Agassiz incident you mentioned, that caused a sudden drop in global temperatures and must have made life miserable for the hunter-gatherer societies of those days. Close to her grave site (which was isolated and without stone markers and with no other burials or other archeological finds of any kind nearby) several additional shaman masks were buried around the time the consequences of the cooling must have impacted them. That means the hunter gatherers of that area had an oral tradition going back for about 600 to 700 years, remembering this powerful shaman and kind of called her for ancestral help in a time of need.

We have plenty of people that are alive right now that are researching/discovering new things and developing new technologies :) I know it's sometimes easy to become overwhelmed and feel hopeless when confronted with certain ways of thinking but it can be very refreshing and hopeful to look into the more inspiring people in this world and see what they're doing

    • @jflynn9081
      @jflynn9081 2 місяці тому +28

      @ To be fair human evolution and behaviour is kind of a blanket term for what I do. I generally study primates and what they can tell us about how our hominid ancestors behaved. I spent a lot of time in the field following baboons for example.
      I’ll try and answer your question however. I believe it has a lot less to do with us being human per say. Evolution has made it so that the animal kingdom is stacked full of symbiotic relationships between species. In a taxon closer to us, certain populations of hamadrayas baboons have been seen to have dogs around them and kidnap young pups. They have also been seen to try and play with hyrax. This tendency to want to interact with other species seems to have been selected for throughout the animal kingdom. Obviously this is nuanced because inter species conflict poses some natural barriers.
      The biophilia hypothesis proposes that humans possess an inate tendency to want to connect with natural things (and that this might have a genetic basis). This is because in our evolutionary history, those who wanted to connect with nature would be more likely to survive.
      In short this capacity for love of animals seems to be prevalent throughout the animal kingdom as it has a benefit in terms of fitness. I suspect we are just more able to express our love for other species in a way we understand.
      I hope I answered your question somewhat

      You should know Tundra does have scrubby grasses, small bushes, flowers, even a few low lying trees (juniper types).
      Permafrost is frozen at the water table, so anywhere from inches to meters down. But plant roots don't typically punch deep anyways; they spread outward because the nutrients and air are only located near the surface. The grade-school textbook pictures where the roots are a big ball, mirroring the canopy, are a lie. It's a pretty flat shallow disc of roots.
      The reason trees don't grow tall in the tundra is the exposure to freezing high-speed winds which damage any tree that isn't grazed by hungry animals.

While clearly that future has yet to come I still hold hope that Logic and the perseverance of facts will overcome our present, for lack of a better term, Idiocracy.

    Fun fact from me, the local Norwegian guy. If you look at the Norwegian, swedish and Danish coasts (except for the part of the danish coast that was part of dogger land) you will see and underground cliff like thing under the water, about 0,5 too 5 miles off the coast (counts where your looking) this is the remains of this glacial maximum because water levels were lower and so there was more land, therefore the coasts where farther out, and so when the water came back in and the way the glaciers melted and pulled back created these underwater cliffs or hills. This is very cool too look at in my opinion (as a Norwegian person, this is the most interesting thing about Norway other than Vikings and social democracy) but there was believed for a short while due too this cliffs underwater that dogger land extended further north but we’ve later found that it doesn’t, I don’t know the full explanation for all the shtuff but it’s interesting

There are many places along the coast of Norway where you can see old boathouses sitting way above the shoreline, sometimes even with rails leading down into... nothing. These are in no way ancient, being at most a couple of centuries old and usually much less. We Norwegians have found a way to expand our country without lifting a finger.

      Pretty close to me. I live in Seaham, on the Durham coast. Apparently, we're quite famous now, for our sea-glass. A hundred or so years ago, there was a bottleworks (making glass bottles) right next to the town harbour. While it still existed, any stuff that got broken, or was defective in some way, would just get dumped in the sea. Tons, and tons of glass over the years, all different colours. As a result, little, rough glass pebbles have been washing up on to the local beaches ever since. I grew up here, but didn't realise that our beach was at all special because of it - I thought _all_ beaches were like that.
      Oh, Lord Byron lived here for a brief while too. He got married here to Lady Milbanke, whose family were heavily involved in digging the first local coal mines, building the harbour and the town that grew around them. He absolutely despised the place, which is quite ironic given that the local council have been naming streets, buildings and shopping centres after him ever since. The Byrons' daughter, Ada Lovelace was also a famous mathematician who worked closely with Charles Babbage - inventor of one of the very first mechanical computers.
      The Angel grows on you. I hated it at first, but got to be really fond of it eventually. I went to university in Newcastle, living there for about ten years. It felt like The Angel was standing guard over the city, arms out, holding back all the southerners and keeping them away. If I'd been away for any reason, The Angel was one of the first landmarks I'd see on my way back that let me know I was home. I'd imagine it was saying, "It's okay Stickie! Get behind me, quick! They won't get past me."

      @LeafHuntress 2 місяці тому +6

      Much of the Netherlands was formed by peat & its extraction. It's not done anymore,(the land is more than low enough now 😉) but i've held "turf" peat for burning in my hand as a child. Cannot remember if we actually burnt it...
      Anyway, it's only used for gardening now & comes mostly from Germany.
      The Greek geographer Pytheas noted of the Low Countries c. 325 BCE, that "more people died in the struggle against water than in the struggle against men".
      I tried to find a certain quote from Pliny, i got these two here below, but it still misses the part when he talks about burning the dirt:
      Twice a day, the ocean rushes over the land in gigantic waves, so that in this eternal struggle of nature one wonders whether this piece of land belongs to the land or to the sea. On the hills, or rather, on dwelling places raised with hands (the mounds) there lives an unhappy people. At high tide they are like sailors, at low tide they are more likely to be shipwrecked. And when they are conquered by the Roman people, they still call it slavery!
      There, twice in every twenty-four hours, the ocean's vast tide sweeps in a flood over a large stretch of land and hides Nature's everlasting controversy about whether this region belongs to the land or to the sea. There these wretched peoples occupy high ground, or manmade platforms constructed above the level of the highest tide they experience; they live in huts built on the site so chosen and are like sailors in ships when the waters cover the surrounding land, but when the tide has receded they are like shipwrecked victims. Around their huts they catch fish as they try to escape with the ebbing tide. It does not fall to their lot to keep herds and live on milk, like neighboring tribes, nor even to fight with wild animals, since all undergrowth has been pushed far back.
