Enlightenment Thinkers

[@stephaniechristina5293]

Why can't our teachers in schools teach us it this way? You taught in me in 12 minutes what my university prof didn't in a whole term. THANK YOU

+BabySedge My teacher showed my class this video yesterday! AND I AM WATCHING IT AGAIN!!!

[@anthonyhenderson7643]

Because Universities aren't there to educate, they are there to; Steal your private 'property' (textbooks, fees, union dues etc.) Protect the 'life' to which it is accustomed (Doing absolutely nothing to facilitate your education other than using convoluted language that results in absolutely nothing being said in the duration of an hour long lecture, therein necessitating the purchase of their overpriced tombs of even more convoluted waffle!) And the above two points being firmly sewn up herein, take a f*****g 'liberty' I hope that helps..........! P.s. You're hot, but I'm guessing that's something you already know?

[@oblivion6308]

My teacher showed us this and had us draw along with it.

[@N0bodyInParticular]

Maybe your uni Prof didn't teach you this because it's not exactly correct.

This gentleman is a TRUE teacher! Wow! Wow!

[@itsreythegiant]

This was my report in High School (Around 2015) I remember giving up because I was lazy to scan and read my references. I thought to myself, "What if there was a KZbin video which is EXACTLY about my report?" And then I found this Thank you Mr. Byrd for saving my life AND still giving me the sufficient content that I needed 5 years later, I still remember everything that you've tackled in the vid You really are a great and efficient teacher Thank you!!

[@pattisummers8342]

Excellent explanation of essential content! After watching this and students taking notes on it, a middle school student could easily teach this lesson. Although Crash Course is excellent, John Green could take a lesson in slowing down a bit. :-)

[@debraarizona4809]

Wow I really enjoyed this history lesson.I am a visual person the drawings really helped me to understand what enlightenment is all about,and I am in school. Thank you it was Awesome!!

[@teiadhurup2878]

Mr. Byrd, your handwriting is AMAZING. I thank you so much. When my teachers have bad handwriting while lecturing, it sometimes frustrates me so much that I lose focus of what they’re teaching.

I learned of these guys in highschool, though at the time found it hard to understand what was so special for. Started learining more about the founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson and learn more about how revolutionary these were in practice. This video though is a great summary of key Enlightenment figures. Very clear and great visual aids.

[@Andrewroo12]

Oh Mr. Byrd, god bless you! This video was so helpful! You know, it was only a year ago when my family illegally immigrated from Singapore to the United States. Luckily, my english is pretty good since I had been taking it in school.It was a rough time indeed. I suffered from Chronic depression, and we had to leave my cat back in Singapore, even though I'm pretty sure my mother lied to me about that since we didn't see it a month prior to leaving the country. My sister and father both caught the flu on the boat on the way to the U.S. . It was a long journey indeed! I had to hide with my family in one of the storage units, where we had no warmth, no food, no water. We had been banged around in there. The only food we had available was some chips and water that we had packed earlier. Every night, water would seep in to the storage unit, the cold liquid stinging my feet, and sickening me and my family. Those long cold nights were some of the hardest I have ever had to face. My oldest brother, Liung Xiu, was getting more and more sick everyday, and he had the worst conditions out of all of us. He died later in that storage unit. The worst part was that we couldn't get rid of the body, otherwise we would have been caught. As soon as we arrived at the California coast, we had to hide the body of my oldest brother in the ocean bay, and come later for it. I cried and cried for him. I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye, or even give him a proper burial. My school is only white people now and I just can't seem to learn anything, the teaching is so different. The only thing I can afford to eat is the dead human remains of my brother, and my family goes to soup kitchens often. I cry myself to sleep every night, sensing Liung Xiu's disappointed presence. All I ever wanted to do was impress my older brother and make him proud. His lifeless, chilled body is etched in to my brain, and I can't stop thinking about it when we we salvage on the thighs of his rotting corpse. So thank you, Mr. Byrd, you turned my whole life around and I now I can actually learn. I feel at home when I watch your videos, and I can't wait to see what more inspirational lessons you give. My Liung Xiu rest in piece, and may you keep your hard work up Love forever and always, Zhang Wei

[@mvpmikey]

Everything was Great, not until the worshiping part started I do not need to remember those names because it is irrelevant. What we need to know are their contribution and its "Cause & Effect". Reason kids this days do not grow up an Enlightened Thinker is because we brainwash them to worship works of other instead of saying they are humans like everybody else. This means what they did, you can do. As a result, kids grow up not wanting to question anything but rather just to feel blessed such people existed so they won't have to do it themselves. Growth stops the moment you stop questioning. Remember that
