Is Your Nationality Real?
Over 99.9% of humans who’ve ever lived had no concept of nationality. Borders, flags, and passports are shockingly recent inventions, shaping our modern idea of belonging to a "country." But how did this system emerge, and how fragile is it?
In this video, we uncover:
The history of border control, passports, and the rise of national identity.
How countries like France, Italy, and African nations were formed.
Examples of layered identities, stateless communities, and artificial borders.
How mass media and education built nations while erasing regional cultures.
Why nations appear and disappear, and how global cities hint at a borderless future.
From the Pashtun people to the artificial lines of Africa, we explore why national identity is neither timeless nor fundamental. Could humanity move beyond borders to something more inclusive?
🌍 Let’s rethink what it means to belong.

Buffalo mozzarella has Indian connection when water buffaloes were sent to Europe from India, Italian got what they were lacking in Margherita. 😊😊
Very interesting fact!
Keep it up😊
Thank you!
Incredible video, Fascinating. Looking forward to seeing your next upload. I smashed the thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! The parallels you've drawn between biological systems and technological innovations are thought-provoking. How do you envision the future of biomimicry evolving in the next decade, especially in fields like robotics or sustainable design?
Thank you! This will certainly be more and more the case, but what may be interesting would be not just biomimicry, but rather biomerger - where we start using biological matter in our devices. From improving sustainability within design architecture, to perhaps memory storage or energy generation within robotics. This is likely to get dramatically accelerated by AI-led research in helping us connect the dots.
I feel like ChatGPT wrote this entire video script.
Wow, this video is mind-blowing! The idea of shifting from individualism and ownership to a collective consciousness feels like a glimpse into an entirely new chapter of human evolution. Imagining a future where brain-computer interfaces and AI redefine our values and even our identities is both thrilling and challenging. The focus on sustainability, fluid identity, and a reimagined sense of community brings hope that technology could lead us toward a more harmonious world. It’s fascinating (and a bit surreal) to think about how this could reshape relationships, work, education-essentially everything we know about being human. Thanks for such a thought-provoking exploration of where we might be headed!
Ah the Slave runners! That gang! 🤦♂️🤣
