This was great. I’m glad people are feeling able to express opinions again.

I remember a time a firestorm was approaching our neighborhood and I decided to stay during a mandatory evacuation in case I could extinguish spot fires that may flare up on the house. I was called for hours by family members who vociferously implored me to leave, but I decided in my circumstances it would be more prudent for me to stay. My understanding is if you decide to disregard a mandatory evacuation order you are then on your own and cannot expect rescue after that point.

I built houses for 45 years and one time I built a house for an engineer who had me install piping on his roof and around the eaves of the home. These were 1/2" copper pipes with small holes drilled into them every few inches. He dug a pond in his backyard and filled it with water and installed a pump that would be turned on and the pipes would spray water on the roof and walls of his house. The reason he went to all of this trouble was because the house was in the middle of a forest and was surrounded by tall pines trees. He also raked the pine needles up and planted ground cover around his house. A few years ago there was a wildfire in that part of the country and I drove by there just to see if the house was affected. The trees around the house were burned up pretty good but the house didn't have a scratch on it. This was years ago and the other day I saw a video about a system just like the one I installed on the man's home.

great video thankds

Awesome video! Loved this.

great video!

Diogenes famously lived naked inside a giant wine barrel, suggesting the central figure/s are a form of self reflection. A rugged setting including damaged trees, ancient ruins, aimlessly wandering animals, corpses and junk could serve as an allegory of civilisation abandoned to wild nature and corruption. The lamp is a rhetorical tool that serves to cast an imaginary spotlight on what is already in plain sight, revealing the absurd pretence of humanity's delusions of grandeur. Percy Blysshe Shelley, author of the famous poem 'Ozymandius,' ("Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay / Of that colossal Wreck...") was influenced by Diogenes and came under government surveillance for seditious libel because of his outspoken political views. Could he have taken inspiration from Castiglione's painting?

dude this is awesome thank you for this

wow great video

This is a great video. It deserves way more views, like and comments! Thank you for it!

"Wokeism" is not actually a thing. It's made up. "Woke" to the Black community means only one thing: recognizing systemic racism, and violence against non-white people. It's no wonder white nationalists have made it a buzz word, and muddied its meaning. Their propaganda tactics are used to lead smart people into a path of confusion and resistance and value being "anti-woke" aka "asleep" or "ignorant." Men who fear of having entitlements taken away are the most vulnerable. So conversations like this are great, and need to continue. I was moved by the part where you both said you'd lost friends who were more far left than yourselves. That's painful. But you have to understand that progressives really are serious about human rights, and at some point need to filter out people who pick at that. Anti-wokism is a tool of the alt right, even though it makes sense to you if you haven't read the books they want to ban, especially if you want to diminish the pain of those who have been harmed. Anti-woke people cannot call themselves anti-racist. If you are not against systemic racism, then you collude with implicitly. It's an intellectual exercise to some and survival to others. I can't think of more woke (compassionate) ideologies than Atheism or Christianity. (Christ-ism, not fundamentalism.) Keep evolving this conversation. IMHO you both sound totally woke and just hung up on words. 'Murca has just elected a fascist for real who intends to cause real harm to real people. We have to come together and stop picking each other apart intellectually. (I only had time for 45 minutes so maybe you reached that point yourself.)

Indigenous Peoples day is an effort to make up for the harm done. Big Balls day is hilarious tho, it should be a thing! And thank you for including women in that category LOL! And we should have big balls on that day (as in parties of course!) Miller definitely had 'em! So did his girlfriends Miriam Leslie, Ina Coolbrith, Adah Isaacs Menken, and Lily Langtry. And no, btw, loving Native Americans doesn't make you racist. XD <3 Racism is systemic, it's about laws that give one race an advantage over others, and, well, there have been a LOT of those! I have heard that people can be bigoted but they can't be racist.

A wonderful and amazing exquisite artwork

He came into my consciousness in the Early nineties. Bud Plant sent me a catalogue and his work was on the cover. They were selling a collection of his work. I still have the catalogue. Some of his paintings ( I thought) were borderline "Cartoony" but when he got it right he was incredible. "Far Away Thoughts" is my favorite

I’m currently doing an art project on Oi for school and I’ve been struggling to shake off the sense of injustice this entire time😭 thank you for making this amazing video not just for the information but satisfying that need for public appreciation for her works through your excitement and passion!☺️

I enjoyed this very much. I answered a question on Quora about Ukiyo-e artists, and I included her "Night Scene in the Yoshiwara." Here's what I wrote: "This one left me stunned the first time I saw it, and it still leaves me staggered because it’s brilliant in concept and execution in capturing an evening where the lanterns shimmer from both within the brothel and around it so that the scene becomes a great drama, a marvelous moment in time caught and illuminated brilliantly; the people stand about, their kimonos rendered in subtle weaves and designs, studying the prostitutes - and don’t confuse prostitutes with geisha, they’re not the same - some with interest, others simply gawking with curiosity; the slats both separate the inner from the outer, engaging our own glance with a desire to see more - this is a masterpiece, in my opinion." Four years and one thousand views later has resulted in six upvotes. I really can't fathom what people are about anymore. I'm not saying my answer deserves more views or more upvotes, but, darn it, her work does. But, again, thanks.

Joaquin Miller was my granddad's cussin my name is Glenn miller

Crazy to think that an ink painting can last this long in such goood quality

he is a japanese artisr

I recently started studying art because of Draper's works (I really love the Lament for Icarus), and your video and its content helped me understand him better, congratulations for your work!

Arteriosclerosis is hardening of the arteries. My grandfather passed from it. It is why stints are put in nowadays.Too much fried food. Thanks nice video.

❤Thank you so much for making this video about her! Oei and her father are so inspiring. I've had a love affair with ukiyo-e since childhood. You were very thorough. 🥰🫡👍

A pleasant video for the end of the day.

"nee" was not Draper's wife's nickname or middle name. It means "formerly". Mrs. Draper's maiden name was "Williams". Draper died of arteriosclerosis which is "hardening of the arteries", a vascular condition characterized by abnormal thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity of the walls of arteries. It gradually restricts the blood flow to one's organs and tissues and can lead to severe health risks brought on by atherosclerosis, which is a specific form of arteriosclerosis caused by the buildup of fatty plaques, cholesterol, and some other substances in and on the artery walls (it can be brought on by smoking, a bad diet, or many genetic factors).

absolutely magic here on your video, thanks!

Amazing!! Well written and spoken, you did a great job!

Beautiful landscapes. Makes you want to be there.

I think of the skies in Turner paintings although I don't think his is a use of negative space, it still reminds me of the weight of that space in the Marat painting.

We gotta figure out what that text says. I love this painting. One of the most important works of art of all time, ever. Period.

I like the painting much better when I see it as depicting a rising Saint, (your way), as well.

Fascinating history, beautifully presented, thank you for this.

I just realized the slow-pan motion is glitchy at first... It gets more smooth as it goes. Sorry about that! I think I figured out how to prevent it for future videos.

Eye candy.

Thank you. :)

keep going my man! just came across this video and really like your style of content.

Thank you.

this made me feel peaceful, thank you.

Very interesting as always THANKS !

Side-boob is the best boob. Fight me.

Hi! o/ Happy to contribute to the conversation over this beautiful painting. I do have criticisms, but I would appreciate them being taken in good faith as constructive. My first criticism: While you have made a previous video on this painting, to the uninitiated viewer, you don't present your argument with an introduction of the piece first. The viewer isn't told its name, the artist's name, the date it was painted, its history, or why you chose this particular piece to discuss. Nor are these things listed in your description, though you've pinned the previous video introducing it in the comments. As a suggestion, you can make it easier for the viewer and make your, "Here," in the introduction seem less out of place by going to: Your Channel > Selecting this Video > Selecting Edit under its title > Selecting Editor on the left > Inserting an Info Card. The Info Card can be placed anywhere on the timeline you want and you can link to your own videos with it. Hope this helps! 🥰 My second criticism: Without an introduction to this piece and its history, opening with your opinion on whether it should 1) be permitted to exist in public view and 2) be celebrated after suggesting it not be destroyed sets up the viewer to align with your opinion over crafting a strong argument that sways them on its merit. I was immediately questioning, "Well, who is trying to hide it? Who is trying to destroy it?" Your phrasing makes it seem like this is an imminent threat. How so? Who or what is threatening its destruction? Is there a real-life parallel that can support this argument? Thought experiments are fine, but you'll have a stronger case responding to an actual argument instead of strawmanning extreme positions. My third criticism: You go on to say your own position may once have been aligned with liberals and nowadays seems more aligned with conservatives, but you offer no supporting explanation as to what these positions entail, when they shifted, or why they shifted. That sounds interesting and could potentially be a video on its own. What do you take to be the liberal or conservative position on the (destruction/preservation/display of art?)? When did it change? Where is your supporting evidence? What is the "leftwing objection?" Objection toward what? It's unclear. Your example with the nymphs is a good one, but it's followed by an objection you "imagine" others to have. A better approach may have been to find a parallel example toward another art piece and extend it to this one. 🌟🌟🌟I don't want to overload you with criticisms, so, a positive! 🌟🌟🌟You nailed your explanation of liberal versus leftist. Too many people conflate these. 👏However, the step back into "Ultra-Liberal = Uber-Leftist" is unnecessary. You've defined the distinction, trust your audience to follow.

How about spiritual 👀 which has no sides. Unless, that's considered being on the fence

A great video, thank you! :)

I'm curious to know what left-leaning media you engage with that actively disparages motherhood. Most of the leftist content I engage with barely touches the issue at all, except in terms of abortion and healthcare rights, and the fact that it's excessively expensive to be a parent right now. It's a bit disappointing to see someone provide the barest whisper of anecdotal evidence that the American left is antinatalist, and defend it by citing the idea of lived experience . . . which you then disparage. This is a very poorly expressed set of arguments, and should have been edited again, both for clarity and for accuracy.

hey, uh, just a note: birth control & family planning are in no kinda way a modern phenomenon. the pill technology is new, but birth control has been practiced since the dawn of humanity, there's evidence of birth control from 1850s _BCE_ the struggle really is real & eternal and wanting to be able to control when/if you reproduce is not inherently anti-natalist? also the desire to separate femininity from an inherently maternal impulse is not the same thing as rejecting the role of motherhood. you make a lot of leaps here, idk if you checked your work

¡HFS! Are you an actual intellectual conservative? Didnt know they still made those - good on you brother. Atheistic anarchist here, enjoying your work - im onboard.

Here is my previous video about this painting: th-cam.com/video/tLbnh6gq3eQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZICK02jhK0aeOnO5

I'd like to see more timelapsey stuff, I enjoy hearing people talk through their creative process. It *almost* makes me want to pick drawing back up lmao
