The 50 Dollar Apple

[@RareEarthSeries]

Thanks to everyone who asked about our Patreon. I'll put out a full video when I get the time, but for those who want to jump the gun and get on board from the start, here's the link: www.patreon.com/rareearth It means a huge deal that so many have asked us to start an account. I never thought anyone would watch these videos, let alone support them.

I love this series and that feeling gets stronger with every episode! It feels incredibly good to be humbled once in a while and reminded of all those untold stories that shaped the world we live in today.

I really love that these videos exist. Thank you. Great come back for Chris Hadfield's Channel.

[@Elyvana]

Francesco "Lets keep the cheesy outro" Petitti If he's the reason you've kept them, then Thanks Francesco. Your outro is what gives your name meaning. Rare Earth could mean so many things, and your outro plays on that, and in doing so creates ONE thing-- an overall appreciation for culture as a whole. From Japan to Africa, I can't wait to see what you do next.

Worth it episode - 30c apple vs $5 apple vs $50 apple

[@Spinnie1]

Atleast it doesn't cost you 1500 dollar like some Apple products.

[@aux8344]

I feel that part of the reason that this video series is so good is due to the soundtracks for each episode. They are not overtly in your face or trying to sonically illustrate some action sequence through a barrage of sound. Instead, it is an ambient, emotion evoking pattern of textures; not getting in the way of the narrative but contributing to it from a deeper psychological level which brings a measure of dignity, honor and simple trust. The composite result is one of a very engaging story telling style that I, for one, can not seem to get enough of. Thumbs up Kevin MacLeod

[@富士藤-o2r]

one apple is no 50$. basically, 1 box (10~15) gift apples are about 30$~. I have not seen so expensive apple.

[@RareEarthSeries]

I saw some apples in Sembikiya that were about ~$40 Canadian, and looked up online what were the most expensive ever sold. It definitely isn't the average price, no.

The walk adds an immersive quality. It's like he is taking you to walk through his mind.

[@jacksonzamora352]

I enjoy him walking, it kinda adds their own special touch to the series. Yeah, anyone could talk standing still, but it takes some school to walk and talk effectively with a camera pointed at you.

[@NW_Pilot]

You and the KZbin channel, "Tom Scott" should collaborate!

We have. I took him to the Arctic and he inspired me to start this series. :)

[@justwhybros]

The quality of this show is amazing. but if I could make a suggestion, I would say work on the thumbnails. KZbin is all about grabbing attention or at least letting people know who's video it is. If you added a watermark to your thumb nail I think you would see a lot more views.

[@RareEarthSeries]

Thanks! We are learning as we go.

[@Lawliet734]

+FAKE.SRIRACHA "who's video it is" Who's = who is (e.g., who's there?), and "who is video it is" makes no sense. I know it's been 2 months since you wrote that, but I'm confident that, without my help, you would never know to write "whose video it is."

A suggestion that is mainly beneficial to the channel than the current audience. Rare to see these in YTs comment section.

I only recently stumbled into your channel and damn am i impressed. You presented these idealogies in a way that incorporated history and ethics, while still maintaining the viewer's interest using strange, obscure titles that i just had to click on. Tbh, i am surprised by how little subscribers this channel has! Keep up the great work

Good video. Sadly enough in EU, they try to stop and ban that sharing of culture that makes the earth so rare.

This story reminds me of the pine seeds that where taken from Galipolly (Turkey) to Australia by the ANZAC troops during the first world War. The seed, grew into a pine and his seeds where taken back to turkey decades later and planted in a Anzac cemetery there. Now, it's a gorgeous pine.

Just when I was buying bread a few hours ago, I saw the apple display and there were Fujis and there bags of Ambrosias which I understand came from a seedling that came up in an orchard of Fujis in the Similkimeen in BC.

[@jdan150]

Great Video. Curious why i can't select a playback at a lower quality that 1080P, with my slower internet it is hard to watch.

[@etherdog]

Fuji apples are not "genetically modified" in sense we now use the term GMO, but were hybridized by selection for certain traits in the same way dog breeds were selected for, or the tame foxes the Russian scientist Belayev established. I am working through all of your videos now because Greg Lam (another great Canadian KZbinr with his channel "Life Where I'm From" about living in Japan) referenced your episode on the "Untouchables" of Japan, which was great, so I watched a couple more and got hooked. My only suggestion for your channel (so far) is to include the sources from which you were informed to make each episode, because "you can't trust everything on the internet." :-)

[@jesusgonzalez6715]

Fun fact: Many widely consumed apples, including "Golden Delicious" go back to some tree somebody just found standing around which has been repeatedly cloned since. Purposefully breeding apples for certain traits is a major pain in the lower backside.

[@d.l.d.l.8140]

[@ccggenius]

Wait... did they really start the whole thing with seeds? I'd think they'd have brought over cuttings to start, as the high genetic variance of apples means you're likely as not to get something... less than appetizing.

[@ctwofirst6635]

I thought about that, too. But once you get some breeding stock, I think apples are fairly easy to improve.

[@radioboys8986]

Ctwo First, apples do not breed true, plant 100 Fuji apple seeds you will get 100 different types of apple trees 99.999 % of the time they will be spitters, so sour take a bite and spit it out, but they are good for hard cider
