Innovation and progress is a snowball effect, consider the level of tech from the 80's to now. That's less than half a century of progress and it's only going to get better and more efficient.

Another fun fact. The Wright brothers made their first flight on December 17, 1903 letting humanity take to the skies and fly. In somewhat less time than I have been alive on this earth later, ~36 years on August 27, 1939, humanity had invented the first functional Jet aeroplane; The Heinkel He-178. Ten years after that in 1949 the prototype for the first commercial airliner flew; The de Havilland DH.106 Comet. Those are three things you might say, not simply "A fun fact." True. Here's the fun fact: It took less than 50 years (about 46) for us to go from something made of Wood and Cotton fabric and powered by a 12-horse power engine to what, for all intents and purposes, is both visually and functionally what you board at your local airport today.

[@TheProgressiveFrequency]

For the record, regarding Alicia's moon landing tangent: The moon landing is 100% real and there's no question about it. The shadows seen in the picture are the result of light hitting the astronauts and their equipment without entering any sort of atmosphere. The technology needed to recreate this would have required lasers capable of creating perfectly parallel rays of light, and enough of them to create the length of the shadows. These days, it would be fairly simple to recreate such an image, but back then, they didn't have the laser technology to create this without purchasing, like, thousands of the same laser -- and the type of laser that would have been capable of doing this was fucking EXPENSIVE back then. It would have literally cost MORE to just buy all the lasers that they'd have needed in order to successfully fake the shadows seen in the picture than it would have cost to build a real rocket capable of bringing humans to the moon.

[@TheHappyWhale]

Also, the fact that the direct competitor to the US in the space race never even claimed that it was fake gives you a pretty good idea that it happened.

[@RePorpoised]

Yeah, CorridorCrew did a VFX breakdown on what would be needed to fake that footage. As it turns out, even today it’d be REALLY expensive to do, and absolutely impossible in the past. From the really, really wide, extremely long uncut shots that would have needed consistent VFX work throughout the entire shot to the fact they would have needed to film it all in a vacuum to fake the physics at the time and adding(as you mentioned) the flat laser lighting needed to get the look , it just cannot/would not be faked. As has probably been said many times before, the belief in the faking of the moon landing stems from the fact that there’s a bit of uncanniness to everything, since the enviroment is unfamiliar. Things behaved differently than expected, and we tend to blame VFX when that happens.

[@psymar]

I personally believe that the moon landing really happened (obviously, there’s an abundance of evidence that it did) but that SOME (not all) of the photos were faked or edited in order to make them look better because the whole point of landing on the moon was to show up Russia Plus, the amount of people who would have to keep quiet about the moon landing being fake is actually comical, ain’t no way that many people kept their mouths shut 😂😂😂

My favorite Moon Landing Hoax Theory is that they planned to fake it to rub it in the SU’s face, but they couldn’t get any good realistic footage with the technology at the time. So to make sure the set was as good looking as possible they went and just filmed it on location.

I like Alex Jones's theory that he mentioned on Joe Rogan where he thinks that the moon landing was faked but it was to make it seem like the technology the elites had access to was not as advanced as it actually was. Basically, the elites already went to space without telling anybody and they made sure they could get to the moon, then they sent a second team out to the moon and that is what was shown on television to the world. It's even funnier because the other guest, Joey Diaz, I think, believes in the normal hoax theory of it all being staged, so Alex Jones is there with his theory calling him an idiot for thinking that we couldn't get to the moon.

[@unicyclist97]

Theres a common Joke that the director behind the supposed fake insisted on filming on Location, aka on the moon.

[@jgaringan]

I think the catering bill alone would have been a nightmare. Also, if the moon landing was fake, why didn't our rivals, the USSR/Russia and China, say so? Even they acknowledged that it happened, and they have an active interest in downplaying our technological prowess.

[@MrEsphoenix]

All the "proof" it was fake has been discredited too. For example the flag flapping wasn't because there was wind. It was supported and starched to help keep its shape for the pictures and had just been moved into place. Due to there being no atmosphere, its momentum continued, making it flap, as you'd expect. I think even mythbusters did an episode where they showed it using a vacuum chamber. I mean, if they went through that much effort to fake it why wouldn't they have done it indoors where there wasn't wind?

[@k1productions87]

Virtually every argument that it was fake boils down to "I can't wrap my head around it, so it must be fake", and once they establish that as an absolute in their mind, they refuse to grant any legitimacy to anything and everything that proves it was real.

[@Dreamfox-df6bg]

The funny thing is that there is one simple proof why the moon landing wasn't a fake that most people ignore. If it was fake, the Russians would have exposed it the moment they could proof it. And considering the whole space race was about propaganda, I think we can assume they looked very closely.

His right though, compared to countries coming into existence at a similar like America, Canada as a whole hasn’t done as much, especially when you compare them to the Britain, France , Russia, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Egypt, China, India, Greece, etc. It also didn’t help that this video is focused on major world events for the time, which explains why seemingly smaller stuff like the American civil war was mentioned since during the 1860 to 1965 nothing else major was happening which is why that segment on it existed and was short it was used as basically a year skip to the next major event. Now in the modern day yes Canada has done a lot but this video is about all major world events meaning it’s gotta have some sort of relevance to make it in the video, but this is all opinions and everything can be seen as important if given enough context

I've also seen a lot of immigrants from my country going to Canada and about 90% of them end up moving to the US (or another country, mostly Asian countries like Korea, Japan, or a coastal EU country). The main difference between the US and other countries is that: one, the US is leading in war technology and other countries barely invest in it two, countries complain they need the US because of the first reason, since they themselves don't work on it three, (reason I have a bias towards US)countries that criticize the US when they mess up they immediatly ask the US to step in. It feels like they're asking you to die for them... again. fourth, the US has a lot of people who love those countries that trash the US and many of them help those countries "manipulate" your elections because they all want a piece of the pie, at least I using the modern logic of Russian election manipulation people love to talk so much, in every big country you will find people complaning how they seem to focus much more on US affairs them in their own soil, reason as I mentioned, they all want the huge extra sugary US cake That's why everyone's talking about it.

Fellow Canadian, staunch NDP voter, The housing crisis has been decades in the making due to our economy being quite literally propped up by the housing market, the problem is when interest rates became low a lot of real estate investors bought multiple properties and turning them into rental properties or sitting on them to appreciate in value, there is also the fact that Canada's home building slowed down rather than kept up, you can blame municipal levels for that one as they became restrictive on allowing high rise development, in many places they build outward not up, there's also a MASSIVE time sink in getting permits and approval before you can even get a shovel in the ground and surveyor out to a site, That being said while I dislike Trudeau as he back peddled on electoral reform (which is also the fault of ALL the parties as each one wanted the method that would secure them a win), He's not the worst leader, we're just Canadians, we vote out and not in, Thanks to Canada having Transparency laws, almost all government updates, bills and projects are on the Canadian Government website, the Liberal list is quite long of what they've done so far, I also feel a major problem in Canada is a lot of people do the American thing and blame the Federal level for Provincial or even Municipal level policies and laws, things the Feds have 0 control over, so there's some disconnect there, /end rant love your content though, hopefully you check out the guys other content.

Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius by the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their center and become popular." There's your Roman writing about Christ and his crucifixion, including crucial details, and only a decade or two out of living memory. As for them not recording the crucifixion as it happened. One; the crucifixion of traitors was standard procedure, and Jesus gave himself up willingly. He didn't attempt to overthrow the Roman rule despite the Jewish hope at the time. And two; as people love to point out, there were many attempted prophets and messiahs, most of which would have been a much bigger thorn in Rome's side than Jesus of Nazareth. From an outsider's POV he wasn't a threat (which Pilate reflects in the gospel accounts). P.S. In the paragraph after the quote Tacitus says that Christians were guilty of 'Hatred against mankind' so that might amuse you.

Just wanted to speak on illegal immigration. The reason people do not migrate legally is that the systems that process things are too slow to respond to the humanitarian crises that America is directly responsible for. Illegal immigrants do not ruin economies, they contribute far more than they receive. How? Because they do jobs at slave wages and generate profit for economies. How does that effect you, the average worker? It drives down wages. The system is made to pin you against immigrants and distract you from the fact that business owners would rather hire them than pay you a fair wage. How does this problem get solved? You legalize immigrants. A lot of them. And we stop demonizing them. They are poor victims to American imperialism and gangs in their own countries. There are enough jobs, enough homes, enough everything, but owners of capitalism extract maximum value from the current system. Advocate for people, not capital.

My understanding regarding Jesus being a real person is that hit's highly contested historically. The only historian who wrote about him within 100 years of his life turned out to be a fake

also regarding the hatiian thing, it's not even a rumour. It's a third person account from a single woman on facebook who ihas other incredibly racist posts who found the cat she said was kidnapped by her neighbor and apologized.

Actually, there are 14 independent sources mentioning Jesus, like Testimonium Flavianum. It is true, that this era is contested, but the fact that a guy called Jesus of Nazareth lived in 1st century, walked around teaching people about love and stuff and then got executed is one of the best recorded things of the era.

[@tadferd4340]

​@@krzysztofdabrowski9399It's really not. Most sources when dug into just point back to gospel. There is effectively no credible evidence that Jesus the man existed.

The funniest take about it is that Jesus is supposed to be born during King Herod's reign, so Christ could not have been born later than 6 B.C.

So Iceland was named by an early explorer who saw some glaciers offshore. Greenland was named by a guy who got exiled from Iceland, settled in Greenland and named it that as a marketing ploy in the hopes other people would join him (no, really!)

The "Was Jesus a real person person?" thing is actually complicated as hell, because there's no sources from around his lifetime that mention him, but a lot of sources about a hundred years later, but those sources were heavily curated by the early church so how accurate are they?, etc. Personally him being an actual person or not would change nothing pertinent so w/e but it's the most incredibly up in the air call of any major figure in history.

Jesus was crucified around 33 A.D. (possibly 29) and people were preaching his resurrection mere weeks or months later. Paul's first letters are a little past 50 probably. Which is lightning quick for the ancient world. The later dating for the gospel of Mark among scholars is sometime right after 70 (which is solely based off Jesus' prediction of the destruction of the second temple in Mark 13:14-19). This is only forty years after Jesus' death (again, at the latest). It's like if you met someone today who was the student of a speaker who had been in Berlin the night the wall fell and the student recounted accurate information which only someone there would know and which was confirmed by many other eye-witnesses. Jesus was a man, not a myth. (He still is but this comment is too long already for me to make that case.)

@@spiderking8011 Jesus might have existed, but there is no evidence supporting it. There is *no contemporary evidence* that Jesus existed. The bible and Talmud were written decades to centuries after the supposed death of Jesus, and the romans - who famously documented EVERYTHING, including their executions - had zero mention of him, his crucifixion, or the sky supposedly turning black in the middle of the day. Just because you want to believe something doesn't change reality. Do more research.

Here's the thing about "No primary sources": 1st hand accounts of ANYTHING involving the Roman Empire, especially events over 2000 years ago, are EXTREMELY rare. The Romans didn't start recording their own history until relatively later in the Empire (Around the 3rd Century BCE when Rome had already conquered Italy), and many of their writings simply didn't survive the test of time, as even the most complete historical accounts of the Romans contain substantial gaps/missing context. Even still, there is substantial evidence for the historical existence of Jesus. The Letters of Paul aren't just a core part of the New Testament for example, they are a direct testimony from a 2nd hand follower of Christ and one of his first major Apostles. Flavius Josephus also provides a TON of information on the Life and Death of Jesus and his followers. He would almost certainly had the ability to interview and take account of many of the first Christians that were in and around Jerusalem at that time, including Jesus' own brother James the Just. There is also evidence within the Bible that supports its status as an account of Jesus and his life. For example, the Book of Matthew describes how Jesus during his trial was taken before the jewish leaders. Per the book, the guards would beat him and then say "Prophesy to us and tell us who hit you." Well, that doesn't seem to make sense, I mean, why would you ask for someone to prophesy who hit you when you just saw them do it? But when you read the book of Luke, it describes this same scene but with an added detail that Matthew left out: "The guards BLINDFOLDED him, and struck him saying *Prophesy to us Christ, who hit you?* " This is called an "Unintended Eyewitness Support Statement, and it's seen in criminal cases all over the world. Multiple eyewitnesses will see and attest to the same thing, but will leave or add in other features that all corroborate each other.

[@sweatygoblin2335]

@@kylewilson2819 Paul began writing the bible more than 30 years after the supposed death of Jesus. There is ZERO contemporary evidence of Jesus' existence. Flavius Josephus wasn't even born until 40 years after Jesus' death. The Talmud was written hundreds of years after 0AD. There is not a single shred of evidence from the time Jesus supposedly lived that mentions him.

@@sweatygoblin2335 There’s also zero contemporary evidence that Alexander The Great and Hannibal existed too. You clearly don’t understand how studying ancient history works. Contemporary evidence, 1st hand accounts, etc these are all things that are virtually non existent when you are researching ancient history. Most ancient cultures did not place a high value on recording stuff, and those that did often had their historical documents destroyed when they were conquered. Rome especially went through this, both during the fall of the Western Empire and the Byzantine Empire. You also need to remember, Paul was EXECUTED for preaching Christianity in Rome. Most of his works were likely confiscated and destroyed, hence why most of the work that we have from him are his letters, which he had sent out to various early churches. So if you want to say “Jesus didn’t exist because we don’t have any contemporary evidence for him” then you’ll need to throw out virtually ALL of ancient history. Some other historical figures that have no contemporary sources include Gilgamesh, Homer, Pythagoras and pretty much everyone living before 500 BC
