[@carlossantiago8420]

Alt Shift X. This is a well-thought, well-researched presentation. This is how research should be - with logic and evidence. Thank you for the video as always.

You have given a great amount of respect to religion, philosophy, and humanity in this incredibly intelligent video and, for that, I thank you Alt Shift.

[@ABONKERSCHICKEN]

For future reference, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo is most commonly known as/referred to by his title, Marquês de Pombal (Marquis de Pombal). Even most Portuguese people won't know who you're talking about if you mention his given name, though they do know who he is. ETA: Long-time subscriber; thanks for another great video.

[@WrecklessEating]

Wonderful video. More like this for sure.

This is so good. We keep getting inundated with heroism, partly because of the culture we come from, and partly because it takes responsibility away from us. At a time when we need to make organizations that well and truly function for the benefit of all mankind, we sit here hoping some billionaire, or some other person will come and assist us in beating global warming, or beat social justice issues. The more we shy away from fact based thinking the more we lose our way and waddle around as we hit extinction level events day after day and year after year...

[@kirstencorby8465]

This has weighed so heavily on my soul since I was a small child. That humanity can destroy the world. I think you're right; in this next century, we either learn to live with a certain fairness and justice for everyone -- including the Earth -- or we fall into a true Dark Age.

This is one of your best ever videos Alt Shift X, fantastic quality as usual.

I didn’t think this channel would get better after game of thrones but it has

[@Brotherhood039]

What an amazing video. It’s easy to see how much effort, thought and research you've put into it. I feel bad watching this for free but unfortunately I don’t have the means to support the content right now. I hope one day I can because this type work definitely needs to be shown to everybody. Content not based on fake news, conspiracy theories or something that your grandmother told you, but based on facts, research and analysis.

[@JaenaJ]

I really loved this video--the content, the transitions, and the organization were all stellar as always. I've been a subscriber for quite a while, and I'm looking forward to more irl videos like these! (I still love the ASOIAF videos, but these are super interesting to watch as well. Huge fan of everything you put out; the way you relay information is incredibly engaging, thank you for all of your videos!)

For a moment there I thought I was on the Thunderf00t channel. Great job Alt Shift X for taking a stand. Rational and free thinkers stand with you.

Eknath Easwaran would be proud of you for searching within for enlightenment to find the core causes of our worldly problems.

When the original viking settlers of Iceland debated if they should take up Christianity a volcanic eruption brought streams of lava that threatened one of the Christian settlers, and the heathen majority saw this as a sign that the gods were angry at the Christians. On that occasion one of the wiser leaders asked a surprisingly profound question to the crowd standing in the lava fields of Þingvellir the viking parliament of Iceland: What made the gods angry when the lava flowed over this [holy] place we stand on right now? It is a strikingly simple question but it show a deep scientific understanding, that all lava fields must have been originally made through volcanic eruption, and this process is frequent and random enough for it to be nonsensical to attribute it to a godly will.

[@SidDaSloth1]

@halldorberg thats an amazing story, thanks for sharing mate

[@chippersonsencyclopediaemp1318]

Very wise leader indeed

[@billvolk4236]

It's a shame that even now, most people can't process the idea that there are volcanoes and earthquakes even when there aren't humans around. So many modern cavemen think everything is all about them.

This video is of public utility, and everyone watching it should share it with their mom; who spends WAY to much time on Facebook and WhatsApp sharing conspiracy theories about vaccines and masks...
