I thought you were Kiwi from an earlier video, but I may have misheard you

Good video also The crescent moon is not the simple of Islam the only reason people use it because colonialism is actually Turkish also Bangladesh choose Islam before the culture even with other Bengalis in India they do not except them because they are Hindu and for a lot of people religion is a very important thing to choose religion before the culture a lot of countries actually for another example European muslims a lot of people do not except them

Ooooh human culture not bacterial culture got it Thanks for the detailed vid, feel like this is something teachers should be showing in Highschool classrooms!

5:36 I KNEW that that was Afro-Eurasia. It looked so much like it. Plus, the southwest continent being super close to the southernmost one? I KNEW IT.

What a great breakdown of a topic that takes years to deliver into 😁

You know i had stuff to do today and now i gotta find out more of how we live in a society

Ok jokes aside, we do actually live in a society. When I’m alone or with my family I do a bunch of weird stuff, but when I go out in public I’m practically a different person.

I heard the domestication of animals drives us vs them mindset cuz you wanna protect your flock or something?

Melatonin is the sleepy sleep. The melanin is the dark dye.

you don't gotta excuse yourself for having an existential crisis honey

love it when a leftie turns into a doomer, welcome to the club lass, here have an energy dring and a ciggie for breakfast, your hair and odor wont matter once the water runs out

So my degree is in anthropology and the fun thing here is your nationality can be very divorced from your culture! This isn't new. For example, for a long time, the modern-day Czech Republic was a territory in the Austro-Hungarian empire. They were subjects of the empire but didn't speak German or Hungarian, the two official languages had different traditions, and at times had different religious practices as well. Granted the Austro-Hungarian Empire was never the best unified state on a cultural level but that led to the Czechs considering themselves a distinct and separate people instead of just imperial subjects and wanting their own state that would look out for their collective interests.

7:02 Okay, very important question then, does she, like basically every lactose intolerant person I know, still eat dairy?

Protoculture

"I'm not saying I dislike them I'm just saying they're inherently patriarchal, like animals, and at the same time unnatural". Historically women of power have had many consorts, although often more erased by history. Catherine, Isabella, Elizabeth, Cleopatra. Plenty of cultures, especially matriarchal ones, had women with multiple husbands or consorts in them: Tibet, India, China, and many more in Africa and Asia. You sure use "all" and "every" when you're trying to make a point in your favor, when it is blatantly untrue. Humans aren't made to love more than one person? Do you stop loving your parents when you are in a relationship? Do you stop loving your spouse when you have a child? Do parents with one child love them more than parents with many children love their children? It's simply not true. Most of the animal kingdom is polygamous. It's not a unique and cool thing for chimps. In fact, it's more unique when animals are monogamous, like some birds. These generalizations about how human relationships are "supposed" to work stem from colonial propaganda and don't serve the purposes of either the empire or humanity at large.

29:03 if you want an organic example just look at any uncontacted group of people through out history, if there’s nobody to talk to then your culture will start and end at your border

Oh yeah no I’m not doing human sacrifices in mine bc that’s not fun, it not an issue that needs commentary anymore (at least not that I know of except for random one off instances), I just don’t want to :) I don’t know why but it’s always given me a visceral reaction to the point where I’m starting to wonder if I died that way in a past life

I feel like it would make the most sense if it was a mix of the different ideas from the different schools, probably likely depending on where the people that made them likely are, geographically speaking. Probably also depending on some societal things in there depending on the group size.

although im not really a worldbuilder, i usually take my inspirations from anatolia. you got cold mountains, dry cold mountains, mountainous area with insane amounts of trees, grasslands, types of steppes, mediterrian places and a few more different types of places. it usually works out well for any games i host due to the simple reason there is a lot of difference between one place and another, with resources/water sources distributed accordingly.

this my fav utube channel

Girl i just realized if you make every comic span about 50 years you have to write 1,000 comics. Is you make them span 100 years (that’s a lot of societal changes in one book) you have to write 500… good luck and Godspeed 🫡 I have a slightly similar project and personally I will make them use magic to develop society quicker

Did you forget about languages that don't use sound. Written, signed, touched. The deaf and mute communities don't communicate with sound. Also leads to them being a subset culture if their own within their local cultures. 18:10

What an amazing video and introduction to your channel. Looking forward to whatever else you make! Your art is charismatic, your explanations are detailed without being overbearing, your voice is soothing, and you are even a fellow South African! I am here for whatever is next

I'm begging my 3rd year of social and cultural anthropology degree, the more i learn about cultures and culture as a whole thing, the less I'm able to define my subject of study, thank you for making me being deeper in this rabbit hole (great video)

Culture is so fascinating, amazing video! I’m learning about ontological design at university and you described it so well. I also really appreciate the metaphors, it makes theoretical concepts a lot easier to wrap my head around. I am already planning to steal your newborn river 😈

What is the Culture of the Laws of Physics? If some people do not understand physics are they part of the Culture. Your smartphone is based on and depends on physics. So have we created a technological Culture that does not understand itself? Economists who cannot figure out planned obsolescence in automobiles. 🤣

Culture is the thing that cancels you.

Do you have a citation list for your videos?

The greeks had a word for blue. This is a historical myth perpetuated on KZbin

Not all humans communicate with sound, and sound is not required for a language.

The issue with “learning from our history” is that how we interpret history is itself a part of our culture. There is no learning; there is only constructing the past to match your worldviews. Since categories are, by their nature, subjective and arbitrary, there is no way to have a worldview that is objective. You seem to acknowledge this, but then you make claims about the world as if they weren’t your beliefs born out of your small, subjective perspective. For example, at 18:41, you have a cartoon wherein a man says, “all these criminals are just bad apples. Why should I address socio-economic factors,” implying that socio-economic factors are more legitimate as a cause than criminals being bad apples; is this perspective though not just another worldview created from your culture; if it is, then how can this claim have any legitimacy? This goes for every other claim you make about history, biology, and language.

I truly believe any and every major issue can be boiled down to a single word; Definition. Everyone wants to save the world. We just can’t agree on how. Everyone wants to do the right thing for the world… we just don’t agree what is “right” and “wrong”. I’ve recently been focusing on why people feel the way they do politically. It’s lead me to some awkward questions, but I want to know why someone thinks what they think. What is going on when we have the same data, but we find different results. It almost always boils down to how we define our data. As an example, I leaned far to one side of a political spectrum for my entire life, but I wanted to know why the other side thought they were right, so I befriended multiple people who I disagreed with. Now I have a completely different perspective of things. I feel completely different about the topic(s). I know it’s hard, but listen to the “them” before you decided which “us” you become. Both sides have valid points, so you need to know what those points are before you condemn one or the other,

I've always loved the Scarred Lands setting, but they never paid attention to anything like this. The only world map I could find was buried in a forum, despite numerous references to continents and seas across multiple books. The more I look into content like yours, I realize how bad their layout really was (epic facepalm).

I heard the concept culture defined as stages of an "intellectual contagion" and i can't unhear it

Late to the party on that one, but yeath. The part about lead is me. I was researching how to draw a mountain pass. Ended up studying Brenner Pass and then the geology of Brenner Pass. Eight hours before my pencil hit paper.

you should do more streams

A 1500s blacksmith used urine to temper their blades... But when I ask a cute, effeminate red haired boy to fill a trough with his piss NOWADAYS I'm "Banned from this Home Depot" and they call the police?? Unfair.

One of the most useful pieces of information I learned in my anthropology studies in college is the fact that culture is *patterned*. You tend to see one thing in one part of the culture in another part of it A simple example is: misogyny in law is often accompanied by misogyny in the workplace and misogyny in the household This goes for *everything* and makes writing cultures so much easier. So by identifying core "notable values" and spreading it into every part of the culture, you very quickly get a much better understanding of it Of course this has to be accompanied with the idea of individualism and the fact that values, ideals, etc of a culture all get opposed within the same culture That's also an easy way to make sub cultures! I know this is grossly oversimplifying it, but gods does it make the bigger picture so much easier to understand and work with Religion should mirror aspects of culture and vice versa Another very important topic is the concept of homeostasis. Every culture has a set of norms/values and taboos, moving away from them (or committing taboos) generally results in the judicial part of the culture (let it be a justice system, a tribe elder, a captain, etc) to bring back the balance whether it's through punishment, ostracism, banishment, deatch, et cetera These 3 concepts mixed together, I find, makes writing a fantasy culture way way easier to approach than the absurd nuance of irl culture (where every single person is arguably a sub culture. Good luck writing that!) I'm worldbuilding an entire dnd adjacent world from scratch and these concepts are helping me a lot with my process

Very well done!

I'm so happy the algorithm recommended this channel to me and equally ecstatic I took the gamble on a smaller view count, your content deserves orders of magnitude more love Please keep up the awesome work, kind stranger!

I think that is a very good video for understanding how cultures are in their current forms, best video I've found on it I'd say, but it does disappoint me that this video just shows cultures as inanimate objects rather than the changing organisms that they are It gives so much help for the comprehension of how cultures affect people, but not how they are formed or changed by the interactions between people, or how people share cultures between eachother Edit: NEVERMIND APPARENT'Y! I do wish this part was addressed from the beginning of the video but oh my goodness sorry for commenting this half way through

I love listening to ... hard to define what I love listening to 🤔 But I'm enjoying myself very much, gaming while listening to this ^^

Lol 😄 The Disclaimer 😁❤

Polyamory is interesting in that it's a specific intentional refutation of both parts of monogamy (Both the single partner thing (which I can attest to in that loving multiple people romantically at the same time is just as possible as having familial love to multiple people at the same time.) and the idea that romantic relationships are lesser if they don't lead to an eventual marriage), and ends up inadvertently taking the opposite societal role to Polygamy. Polyamory is, not necessarily exclusively the domain of minorities, but of the polycules I know, they are absolutely dominated by minorities, and those otherwise disadvantaged by society like disabled folk. Which does seem to carry some weight, as human monogamy doesn't seem to have historically been a thing before societies started adopting patrilineal inheritance structures- which is when it became super important to know exactly who each person's dad was, cultures were influenced by that to start restricting people to keeping one partner... Hence the creation of marriage. But when you have the privilege to ignore social norms, you claim more privilege and power for yourself, leading to Polygamy And when you're already on the back foot and don't really gain anything from clinging to social norms, you don't bother even trying, leading to polyamory. The modern polyamory community has also put a lot of work into learning how to make such an unconventional structure healthy, because obviously they have to... and that's honestly given them a lot of tools that monogamous folks could use even with just their one partner. It is wild just how much more a polycule will communicate about everything, particularly contrasted with a cishet mono couple.

You aren’t being political, you’re being philosophical, which for the topic you’re discussing is necessity, not accident.

Fuck calling it culture -Kendrick Lamar

Found you today - love the videos as I started creating a fantasy world a few years ago, finally putting thought to paper. Would love a video in your style about foods/delicacies throughout ages.
