@@theguymadofgears pov: 💀
GIVE ME THE LONG VERSION lol
I'm here for it.
I believe that the reason we don’t care for history much is because school ruins it, since history is something you have to learn at your own pace and school being school rushes and forces that, creating the impression history is purely boring, intimidating, and mundane.
@@theguymadofgears ???
"he's just brushing over this" yeah what did you expect he has THE WORLD to cover
Yeah, he wouldn't be a history buff if he didn't have a favorite epoch or two, right?
But he just have to explain one world
yep
yeah, it's impressive that he managed to cover everything he did, and it took him like 11 months to make that video too. he said in an interview that he stopped posting for so long to make that video that people were contacting him to see if he was okay.
the multi-billion year video is still uploading, this will have to do for now.
I will NEVER get tired of watching people who specialize in science or history reacting to this video. The pauses and all, I eat this content UP
Right and he know his knows his music just as good.
Not really an expert though. Got a few things not quite right and I couldn't stop laughing as he pointed to regions and cities on that map and naming them with some of them actually being somewhere else. Still entertaining though.
@@ArizeOW that's where part of the entertainment and retention comes from, one of, if not the largest entertainment forms is from something negative happening, be this someone making a mistake, suffering mentally and/or physically and so on, plus then many people will go to the comments section JUST to correct those mistakes, thus allowing people who wouldn't normally have entered that comments to possibly interact with other commenters, and on rare occasions (depending on how big the youtuber/how impactful your comment is) the youtuber themselves
you sound like something straight out of animal crossing and I love that
I started a response to this video years ago on another channel and got like halfway through it and lost the damn reaction recording, so now I’m screwed cause I’ve already seen it a few times.
But I might still do it at some point just for giggles.
There’s an High School American World History Teacher here on TH-cam that said he shows this on the first day of school; and explains that by the end of the year you’ll know and understand everything from this video.
I think that’s the perfect way to incorporate this into the classroom. You get to see how rich and expansive history is outside your country in a funny way. And when you watch the video at the end of the year; you get to see just how much you’ve learned!
I could be wrong but I believe he created a school friendly version because of the amount of requests.
Sounds like a Great Teacher
Is it Mr Terry?
If I am not mistaken that's a pedagogic style of teaching, don't remember the name. Basically you show a condensed version or mental map of the entirety of the program to the students and only at the second class get to teach the basics. The teachers at my past college used to do it, they would explain the entire plan for the semester at the first class and only start the 101 at the second
we love mr Terry in these streets
I love how he ends it with "where the hell are we?" and the beginning of the video starts with "you're on a rock floating in space". Perfect loop
if only it was a youtube short..

I've watched "The History of the Entire World, I Guess" a billion times...I've never heard of it ever getting "limited" before! That's wild.
He even made a clean version.
YT implemented new rules that say if there's cussing within the first 15 seconds, you lose money.
@@captainfunktastic2255 Its not a new rule, it was there before. I believe it was 8 seconds.
Other channels could just be accepting the fact that it's demonitized and leaving it anyway
@@JeshuaSquirrel he couldn't "re-react" to the clean version if he reacted to the not-so-clean version the first time
I am laughing so hard at how often he HAS to stop to explain that I am in literal pain (and it's only half way done)!
His brain was exploding the whole time 🤣
I agree. it made the video even funnier than usual.
King, I'ma go ahead and say it: I will never, ever, EVER get mad at you for pausing a video to give more in-depth information; I fucking LOVE to learn - please teach me all the things.
Seconded.
If I want to just hear the video, I'd just watch the video directly. We're here to watch YOU.
Ikr? He understood a lot of things happening there... I could listen to him all day
Need a extended cut version of this with you putting in the 3 hours of reaction.
I second this
I third this
@@EulaliaDaisy I fourth this
I fifth this
I sixth this
There are so many savage takes in there but the neo-colonialism one always gets me. Especially when you're reeling from that level of mental overload trying to keep up with the pace it's like a silent assassin of a joke that detonates about 5 seconds after he's already moved on to the next thing
This is one of my favorite things about the video, the sheer amount of times you're shanked with jokes.
Absolutely this! Never gets old for me! :3
As someone with ADHD. I love your apprehensive nature to NOT stop every 10 seconds with 5 minutes of something to say. You're a history buff, it's INSANELY hard to know something and not be able to fully convey it to your audience in a small period of time. I was an English major in my college years, I'm willing to bet we faced similar bullshit haha. So good on you for being real with yourself and your audience. Power to you.
omg yes, that shit gets on my nerves cuz when they be doing that.. the main point gets lost to me and they just appear to be talking about nothing.
I think even without the "modern attention span" aspect taken into account, this video is a fantastic primer. It gives you a broad overview in an interesting way which also gives you context to place more detailed learnings into. That's the one thing I always found difficult when learning history is that learning things chronologically only gives you the context of the past, whereas having a broad overview of the full timeline helps it "slot in" to something you're already expecting.
makes everything related
"modern attention span" is some old man yells at cloud shit.
@@mechanomics2649 Old men were yelling at clouds about this since the advent of writing.
One of my favorite parts is at the beginning and you missed it when you were talking about quarks. He said, "That's a thing, in a place. Don't like it? Try a new place, at a different time."
I love this, because it reveals exactly WHAT time is and why it is connected to space. All time is is a measurement of objects moving through space. Time itself doesn't exist, only objects moving through space that we apply time to as a measurement.
Yeah, he described time and space in a perfect and simple way.
"His pacing is wild"
Bill: (Covers the formation of the entire universe, stars and earth in like a few minutes)
“Now you can’t tell who they’re being pillaged by” is a god tier line.
They're being pillaged by everyone who loves pillaging, which is mostly everyone.
this video is straight historian kryptonite, not because anything is wrong but because everything is very lightly touched upon. Nearly every topic could have it's own thirty minute video and historians can't help themselves from explaining every small detail.
I think that can be useful for teachers when explaining the details of the history :D
Bill Wurts is great, funny and irreverent but also serious and thought-provoking.
I've always loved the decolonization comment there.
"Now you can't tell who they're being pillaged by"
*Chef's kiss*
And so true as well. Decolonized parts of the world now pillaged by... yes.
As a fellow nerd, when I watch your music reactions I want to stop and explain stuff to you. I'm not a history nerd, but I can respect your need to stop and explain stuff. It helps me learn as well.
Nerds unite! I feel like I've found me people, haha
As a history nerd I also feel the need to explain stuff and his explanations are completely wrong. Like Islam is not the largest religion in the world (Christianity is), and Martin Luther did start the protestant reformation as the original video stated. Or saying the royal family of Spain are German (the Hapsburgs died out without descendants and were replaced by another family which didn't have a German last name, both families were Spanish anyway and all royal families in Europe are mixed). Or saying France wasn't broke (they were) and then correcting his statement to the royal family wasn't broke (they essentially were, which led to increased taxes on their broke people, which led to the French Revolution).
None of his corrections were accurate throughout the entire video, which makes sense considering the creator of the original video spent months researching before publishing the original video. He is clearly intelligent, I just wish he fact checked the information he was putting out before posting, it's counterproductive to claim you are a history buff and then misrepresent history just for the sake of adding something to make your reaction 'transformative'.
I have ADHD, and I swore by this video when I was in world history class. I had seen it before, and I kept rewatching it throughout the year to attach what I had just learned to something I would remember. It worked wonders.
Thanks for giving me a new study method.
“NOOOO THE SUN IS DEADLY LAZER” my favorite quote cuz same ADHD😭😭
Also don't apologize for going on a tangent expanding on stuff! It's literally what I'm here for. Ever since I saw that reaction you did to Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine and explained the history behind Quang Doc I was hooked. More history content is always welcome in my eyes.
Honestly, the reason why I love both this video and History of Japan so much is because they're so simplified. Bill doesn't have much of a choice, since he's is compressing trillions of years into a single video that's less than 20 minutes long. He's throwing words at you so fast that you kinda have to watch it a few times in order to catch all the information. There's also just enough humor that I don't get bored, but not too much that I'm distracted the whole time. It's perfect for my ADHD brain.
As a Spaniard who studies the Ancient World, I was very impressed that you talked about the Phoenician ruins in Southern Spain, I've been to a few (my family is from Almería) and they're incredible, but as you said, they're often neglected which I hate. Also about the roman ruins!!! The city with the aqueduct is Segovia, it's just north of Madrid and it's really impressive, every time I go there I forget how massive the aqueduct is, and it runs through the middle of it
I just commented the same thing about it probably being Segovia. It's unbelievably beautiful -- one of my favorite places I've ever been.
I have to admit, as a previous commenter alluded, that watching this gent’s music reactions (I’m a professional musician) had given me an unfair impression of him. He is obviously more educated and informed than I am about many other topics (physics and history in particular), and I have learned a valuable lesson about poorly judging folks simply based on a slightly limited knowledge of music, a topic in which I SHOULD have a better understanding. I learned a LOT listening to this gentleman react to this video, but I think the life lesson was the most valuable knowledge I received. Wiping the egg off my face and looking forward to more content.
Wonderful comment
AFTER FIXING EVERYTHING .. THE VIDEO JUST GOT LIMITED AGAIN..
Damn, really? What was their issue this time?
crazy that because of that one time use of the f word the video gets limited :/ Edit: okay he used a few things a bit more often I think haha
I mean, he has a "clean" version of the video that's literally just non-swearing. I don't think there's any content changes other than that.
This is bogus. I've watched tons of reactions to this exact video on other channels. TH-cam has lost its mind.
@@kamodius all the swearing has been removed
I actually enjoy watching people who are into History/Science and have their little in between pauses - since I've seen this video so many times, its cool to gain that extra context for this. Very educational! Plus there is some stuff that does fly over my head so I appreciate that.
"This isn't the past enough." gives me the same energy as "That's how every it was." and I'm here for it! Also, I love your interjections! They make this even more fun! 😍
I love how you said "This isnt the past enough"
My Dad and me are both amateur historians, he focuses mostly on the 100 years war, i focus mostly on the Viking Age, and both of us have this phrase we use when people ask about WW1 or WW2, or even the Rennaisance, we say "I dont know, thats far too recent to be History"
Loved the episode
As a note, I think Bill has a 'swear free' version of the video for just this kind of situation.
it's not his video
@@clobre_ I honestly remember there being a clean version on his channel. It's not there now, so perhaps I was in error.
"Guys, he is simplifying a lot"
He condensed the last 13 billion years into a 19 minute video, forgive him for skipping over one or two details.
Your additions were very entertaining and informative. I had some fun looking up Mansa Musa after you mentioned his influence on the Egyptian economy, and it's a part of the video I'd never really payed much attention to before
He is very smart, but I always count on him to say some really stupid things in his videos.
really cool guy who messed up a bunch of countries economics because he gave so much away that it inflated
I’ve watched this way too many times and still find it hilarious
Nah man, screw that noise, I want your input! You're so knowledgeable and insightful man, this is the most fun I've had watching a reaction to this video! Watching you have appreciation to each of the jokes and nothing going over your head was awesome to watch. I've watched a few of your Ren videos and loved them, but this is the one that's making me subscribe. Much love, keep being you, that's why we're here!
The amount of knowledge you hold is absolutely baffling, this video was absolutely incredible thank you for sharing your Knowledge
You are the best kind of teacher. You're not only interested, but you're EXCITED about your subject, and you don't JUST want to share the information, but that excitement, too. I never cared about rocks until I had a geology teacher who shared his excitement about it. I never cared about math and only BARELY passed my high school math classes... guess what, I didn't know what a GOOD math teacher looks like until it was way, WAY too late and looking back on it I realized that my high school math teachers probably didn't find math any more interesting or exciting than I did.
Grats on the 740k subs, you'll be at a mil before you know it.
Bro you are mad impressive. I can't even fathom how you can remember all of those facts you got. Shit's wild
it's crazy with how fast-paced this video is, you still managed to call out things before the narration got to it xD super fun to watch
I think this video has stimulated interest in history education at the level We Didn’t Start The Fire did when I was a teen. Both get brought into the classroom to spark discussion and interest.
Thanks for sharing.
I think that's the point. This video gives a 30000-foot view of the entire history to put events into context. Then if you want to learn more, you can drill down to the details.
This approach is a lot better than the episodic way I was taught history with no context on the cause-effect connections between events.
Explaining how life came about is my favorite thing ever. Chemical evolution is so cool. To start you have to talk about the Urey-Miller experiment. Back in the 1950s these two biochemists did an experiment in which they took a containment chamber, filled it with water, ammonia, methane, hydrogen, and all the things you expect to find on any fledgling planet. All the things you would expect on any new Earths. They put a fire underneath so it would evaporate, go into another container to be zapped with electrodes, cooled, funneled back to the original container and cycles back through. They are simulating the patterns of an early Earth, and simulating all the elements you could find on Earth. You take early simple ingredients, get them hot, get them cold, zapped with lightning and other normal processes. They ran it for a while and when they come back they took samples. To their surprise, the water is no longer clear, but is a gross reddish brown. They test it and find it is now full of amino acids. Amino acids are the things that build proteins and make life happen. That is called chemical evolution. Very simple inorganic ingredients come together via totally natural means and form organic macromolecules. There are 4 macromolecules that make up life. Lipids, proteins, carbs and nucleic acids. Those are the 4 macromolecules that make up everything alive. Each one is a polymer meaning its a molecule that forms a chain. I'll explain each of these below:
PROTEINS are made of chains of amino acids that fold up on themselves. A chain of amino acids is a primary structure. Then it folds into an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet called a secondary structure. Then it forms a glob called a tertiary structure. Sometimes some globs come together and thats then a quaternary structure and so on. Thats how proteins work. Proteins make up skin, muscle, bones, and everything like that.
CARBS are sugars. Long chain simple sugars such as glucose or fructose. If you stick them together you get sucrose. A bunch of those together makes a polysaccharide. This makes carbs like starche, cellulose and such.
LIPIDS are fats. You have a twisted hydrocarbon chain that repels water and thats a lipid. There are various kinds like phospholipids where a long hydrocarbon chain comes off it to repel water and on the other end is a phosphorus group that attracts water. This makes a hydrophilic and hydrophobic end. One attracts and one repels water. If you take any lipid like cooking oil for example and put it in water it forms a bubble all by itself. Nobody has to tell it to do that. That's because a sphere is the smallest possible surface area and is the most energetically protected from the water around it. It would take more energy to make any other shape and the universe is lazy. Everything is always as energetically simple as possible. Lipids that naturally form out of normal stuff under normal circumstances, naturally form spheres. Amino acids which make proteins that naturally form out of natural stuff can get stuck in one of these spheres, and you now have something that practically represents a cell. All this stuff formed by totally natural means and naturally assumes the shape of a sphere can naturally come together and form a cell. You can do this in a jar. Now imagine that on a planet taking place over millions of years.
The Urey-Miller experiment has been redone in different ways many times by putting other things in, leaving some things out, and hundreds of combinations and it just always works. Later, we figured out this happens in hydrothermal vents. They pump out acids and bases. These have proton gradients. Whats that? Well an acid is a chemical with a bunch of extra protons and a base is something that doesn't have enough and has too many electrons. When they neutralize they give off electrical charges that move one place to the next. This is how your cells make energy today. Mitochondria pass protons across a membrane. This turns a protein called ATP synthesis which makes adenosine triphosphate and thats how our body works. It's how most cells today work. Where can we find natural proton gradients right now? Hydrothermal vents. Where can we find the building blocks of lipids and proteins? Hydrothermal vents. We can even find amino acids, including all the ones important to life, in space. Just floating on asteroids. They form naturally all by themselves all over. You have the building blocks of life, the thing that makes energy in cells even today happening naturally all by itself in hydrothermal vents and all over the universe. Life then starts all by itself. Now we also have NUCLEIC ACIDS, the 4th macromolecule, which is DNA and RNA. We do debate what came first, but the most common consensus is RNA came first. I also follow the RNA world hypothesis. Let me explain why.
RNA is cool because it isn't just something that carries information, but it also works as a catalysts to make reactions happen. A catalysts is something that lowers the activation energy of a reaction. It makes a reaction happen easier and faster with less energy. So RNA carries genetic information, it can also make more of itself, and it can make other reactions happen faster. Think about how proteins are made in your body today. It's like this.
You have mRNA(messenger RNA) that makes proteins happen. How? It goes to a ribosome to be read. What are ribosomes made of? They are made of rRNA(ribosomal RNA), and aren't membrane bound organelles. In the ribosome something brings over amino acids to make the protein. What brings them over? tRNA(transfer RNA). So when your body makes proteins it uses RNA to tell RNA to use RNA to make a protein. Again, you can do this in a jar. That is why the major consensus is that RNA came first. RNA is something that is so unbelievably useful. Why do we have DNA then? Because once it happened to form DNA was/is really good at long term storage and it's far more stable meaning it stuck around better. You can divide it, make more of it, pack it into a tight wad and have it twist around proteins called histones to makes a tight rope called chromatin, and then chromatin forms a body called a chromosome. Thats how DNA works. It wraps around proteins, wraps into a thick rope, and those thick ropes form a chromosome. It's super easy to divide these and split them up.
Is it so hard to believe that some of these naturally forming nucleic acids found their way into a blob of naturally forming lipids? THEN they split, THEN you have 2 sets of chromosomes in a cell THEN cytokenesis happens where actin filaments tighten around the cell in a contractile ring, and remember lipids form bubbles naturally, so once squished together you now have a cleavage furrow that then splits into two seperate bubbles! You now have dividing life out of literally "nothing". It's not difficult at all to say that very simple ingredients found all over the universe that naturally form organic molecules by natural processes then naturally stated making more of themselves. You then get a VERY early organism. Something so insanely simple. Not bacteria, that would be unbelievably complex in comparison. Just a very simple membrane, very simple genetic material and very simple proteins. The very basics of all of this. That is what we call LUCA. There was probably a ton of very early life, but LUCA is the one that stuck around. Everything that ever lived past that point is related to LUCA. We have a very clear picture of how everything evolved after that. I can gladly get into that if anyone want me to. I'm an evolutionary biologist so this tickles me all over when I get to explain it.
That's... surprisingly easy to read and absolutely packed to the brimm with very detailed, yet simple and concise informations. I'm legit impressed and even more pleasantly surprised to have learned such interesting knowledge (in a youtube comment section no less.)
_"I can gladly get into that if anyone want me to. I'm an evolutionary biologist so this tickles me all over when I get to explain it."_
Well, if i may be so bold as to take on such a generous offer, i'd gladly oblige : could you explain, for such an inept adept of biological sciences that i am, the process by which cells "communicates" and how said process developped through evolution, please ? Of course, if your own life requires to focus on more pressing matters or simply change your mind, you perfectly have the right to ignore this comment altogether and i will leave you be.
Are you a teacher? Your explanation was really good and very clear (at least to someone who has tried to understand this, but has a hard time understanding and connecting it all). Thank you
@@sharnisestreaty9286 I'm getting my PhD in BioAnth and I do have to act as a TA as part of the program, but I am just an evolutionary biologist. I specifically work with the human lineage. Right now I do paleoecological reconstruction on H. erectus. I'd be more than happy to go into further evolution after LUCA or do my best to answer any questions you might have.
i loved that thank you
Loved reading this. So fascinating and exciting and just gosh darn cool. Thank you for the comment!
I would literally watch an entire series of MrLboyd breaking this video down.
Same
It's actually impressive how much you are able to comment with your own knowledge at parts. No shade to other reactors, I genuinely like most of them but you set the bar high with your ability to understand and share your own wisdom on the subject. I'm curious if you have an extensive academic background or you're like me, no college but really interested in looking into things yourself to learn.
I saw a show on the history or science channel saying the concrete that the Romans created is stronger than what we have today and many of the aqueducts are still working perfectly to this day. It has something to do with the volcanic ash they used in their concrete but they still don’t know the exact formula. I thought that was so cool.
That and other components, one of which was seawater, meaning that as it dried the salt crystals made the concrete have a stronger bond, and modern concrete uses more water which makes more concrete but also makes it more brittle.
They also left many pieces of undissolved limestone(might have been something else) that would dissolve over time to repair any cracks, even rather large ones.
We can make way better concrete nowadays, in general we can do most things better but, we often don't because we tend to prefer the cheaper alternative most of the time.
So it's not that the Romans were better (far from it), it's just that we don't aim for the same thing. Any pre-20th century building would last centuries or even millenia if all humans disappeared tomorrow. Modern buildings, would only last between 50 and 100 years. Not because we can't build like people 200 years ago, but because we prefer steel-reinforced concrete instead of stone. It's cheaper, faster, and enables crazy architecture.
We actually recreated Roman concrete very recently. The secret was larger clumps of lime that reseal cracks when it gets wet.
Hi, I was surprised to see Roman ruins in Tunisia. I guess that’s why. There’s a colliseum and a smaller area of baths right on the the beach
The part about the stuff Romans left in Spain is so true. I remember surfing and doing some yoga in Tarifa one summer (I spend most my vacations in Andalucia, mostly Marbella). One day our yoga instructor learned about my interest in classical civilization and went "Oh by the way, there's a roman forum ruins a few miles away from here, you wanna see it?"
I can't believe that in Spain it's so common that visiting ancient ruins is a "by the way" thing. And it's not just the roman legacy that's thriving, it's also Muslim. The Alhambra fortress in Granada is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
Man I gotta ask, at some point, were you an educator of some sort? You have that energy about you, but you have an actual passion for knowledge. Wish I had teachers that cared this much about things when I was in school.
nope just a history buff
@@MrLboydReacts SIKE, you are an educator now, whether its intentional or not!
To be fair, as a high school kid you probably didn't care that much about this stuff at all, regardless of the teacher.
@@theshadowfax239 nah in my experience, ive seen lots of kids change from being disinterested the moment they get a good teacher.
@@theshadowfax239 I fuckin' loved history, still do, always was my best subject, especially when you get a great teacher that actually likes what they're teaching.
Gotta love how modern events are more confusing than a summary of the entire world's history.
The fact that such an iconic and exceptional video within youtube history, that not a soul can find fault with, would be limited if released in today's youtube is very very sad to me.
yeah on 12:40 what you said. Im from istanbul and there is literally a road that goes underneath an ancient roman aqueduct. We have a saying in istanbul, "where ever you throw a shovel you will find something roman". And its true, so many construction projects gets put on hold cuz they keep finding ancient roman ruins. Not to talk about all the old temples and cities that can be found all over Anatolia.
I love the reactions, the pauses to explain and the fun that you've had with this video. Thanks for this!
The quick pauses and *meaningful looks* you gave throughout made my day!
Just imagining this being used as a world history class syllabus is fantastic. Welcome to class everyone this will be what we're learning this year. Just imagine the sparks of curiosity you'll get from kids from it.
So many sparks they might start a fire lmao
You know what blows my mind the most here is how smart you are in this subject especially talking about quarks and quantum physics. Not often you see a youtube reactor who is exceptionally well educated. This is why i love your content you come at it with depth and information each time you record.
I love this 😂 seeing the visible pain not being able to stop and explain everything.
I'm a senior in college now but my freshman year of highschool I watched this right before a world history test and it actually helped 😅, I already knew the details, but the video hitting the main names and events helped refresh that information - all around a great entertaining and educational video
We live in a very interesting time. To think how much of what we knew has changed about our history since this video came out. Love your videos, wish everyone well.
FINALLY a reaction channel that actually has knowledge about things and an interesting input to the video theyre watching. Good stuff!
Wow. I'm 10:49 when writing this comment, and I just had to stop and appreciate this dude's reaction style. I LOVE how much information he shares and how he really wants to explain how much history is glossed over here, because history like this and in this format IS important so people can come back and get a crash course on human history, but it there are so many points in World History that are good to know the details about. We can't appreciate what it means to be human if we forget everything that got us here.
The past may be in the past and it it may not feel reliant, but the present wouldn't be what it is if the past was changed in any significant way. You and I probably wouldn't be here if not for huge empire like the Phonecians, Egyptians, and Roman empires. I just love how this guy in particular seems to really want to share his wisdom on the World History with us as he sees how much we miss in this crash course lesson.
The fact that you know Valencia shows you are VERY knowledgeable. And I love that about you.
Smart people reacting to this video is one on my favorite things. ❤
I wish I waited until the end before I commented the first time because I would have included this in my last comment. First of al I LOVED watching your face journey through all of it because when I saw "history of the entire world, i guess" for the first time I know I had a similar face journey processing all this information just thrown at me lol. You do have to watch it at least a few times to catch everything and it's still fun to watch all these years later. I am diagnosed ADHD more on the moderate to severe so when I saw this for the first time, the pace was comfortable for me. When my son was also diagnosed with moderate/severe ADHD and was struggling with his reading homework for history I showed him the original video. He was 7 and he started doing better. The video gave him that sense that history research and learning is actually fun and it motivated him in school because when his history teacher was teaching about periods in history as the school year progressed, he remembered this video.
That video was so well done and was WAY ahead of its time. I get the sense it was for entertainment purposes for history buffs because it's so damn accurate! For me as a parent of a child with the same special needs I had too growing up it was very helpful. And we're from NJ originally so the cussing was just normal for us lol. Unless you been to the NY Metro and people watched, it's just how we talk lol
Sad that the original reaction got limited, but I'll gladly watch it a second time ad leave another like. I was thinking about watching it again tonight anyway.
"I'm going to try to keep my interruptions to a minimum."

"So you see the thing about the onion hat-"
I love the stops to talk. I’d love to see an hour long rewatch with all the insight you have to offer. Teach us Senpai.
I was fortunate enough to live in Turkey for 5 years as a kid, back in the '80s. You are *not* kidding about the ancient ruins: they are absolutely everywhere, and the vast majority of them are just sitting there free to examine to your heart's content. I still have video tapes of my sister & I climbing around in ancient Roman coliseums or even older homes carved out of sandstone which dot the central desert regions. I actually recall my parents having to sit us down & explain that we couldn't just touch everything before we finally got around to visiting Istanbul & the more "touristy" sites there.
As someone who went to school for geology and did a lot of historical geological studies as well as anthropology, this video is so incredibly well done. It is amazing!
I would love to just hang out with Mr. Boyd in a coffee shop and just talk about astrophysics and a bubbleverse.
We need to give props to how much information this guy manages to condense into a relatively short video while also firing off nonstop jokes
I like how "arrested" was too much for the algorithm but "killed" within 1 second of that was fine
I was not expecting an in depth analysis of this video, but the second you paused it to explains “quarks and stuff,” I got so excited lol when I saw “history buff,” I was expecting a high school history teacher type of intelligence, but the depth of your knowledge is beyond that! Lol I’m so excited for the rest of this video
Also, you have an incredibly smooth voice
I enjoy your commentary on this video, I love it when creators can provide a deeper insight to videos.
I would really want to watch an extended version of this, I don't care if it's 3 hours.
It's a bit rare to find people reacting to this video while being able to explain most of it.
"My queen we're out of wheat, we can no longer make bread"
"Then eat cake!"
Marie Antoinette proved why education is important
Someone should make a compilation of (almost) every reaction to this, where every single thing is explained at least once
23:41 I love the video, and it has really great educational points! One thing I will point out as someone who studies world religions, when you were talking about the protestant reformation, it’s true that Henry VIII was the key player for the English reformation, but for the protestant reformation as a whole, Martin Luther was the progenitor of the movement. However, more than Martin Luther, I would say the cause of the protestant reformation was the printing press. Many people came before him with new ideas that went against the Catholic Church, but they lived in a time when books had to be hand written, and often that work was done by monks, so it was very easy for the church to repress it. The only reason Martin Luther became as influential and starting the Protestant reformation as a whole was because it was a lot harder for the church to silence the reformation with the new technology available.
The way he responds to the words he says like a conversation puts a whole new vibe to videos
It's always fun listening to someone talk about something they're truly passionate about 😁
I love watching you, in particular, react to this video. The frenetic energy of the video is so antithetical to your very patient and calm style of prose.
Great reaction! Your effort to keep watching and not share details is relatable 💀 I'm curious as to when you said "explain those names" when the guy went over like five different names for the Majapahit (I hope I wrote that correctly). Is there more behind those names, or was it simply a joke?
Also, I really want to share, for any who are interested: in the Hispanic American war, Puerto Rico, who was a Spanish colony at the time, was also involved. I can't go into details since I'm not a historian, but brushing over it, once Spain lost the war against the US, Puerto Rico was handed over as a bounty of war as agreed upon in the Treaty of Paris. This happened in 1898, and we've been a "territory" under the US ever since.
Almost two decades later, we were granted american citizenship under the Jones Act in 1917 for WW1 drafting purposes (if there were other reasons at the time, I do not know), and that's why Puerto Rico remains a colony (territory, commonwealth, it has many terms) to this day, while other Latin American nations managed to obtain their independence.
Time and history have passed, and so today Puerto Ricans have varied opinions on what should happen to the island - some want statehood, some want independence, and some wish to remain the same. Just as expressed in the reaction, I also wonder what will become of us in 1,000 years.
If you got this far, thanks for reading!
Hi!! I'm from that town you mentioned called La línea!! I freaked out when I heard you mention it but yeah, your knowledge's amazing :D
BTW The acueduct you mentioned was in Segovia and YES, Spain has so many historical places to see it's truly beautiful. You're always welcome here :)
Check out oversimplified! They're paced a lot more chill.
Despite the name they're actually pretty detailed. I really like the video they did on The Pig War.
Added note: This video inadvertently made it so I know how to spell and say Majapahit even though I never even learned about them before or since.
I have watched several people react to this video and you are the first person to give the "the floor is no longer lave" the same response that I had. ;)
When I saw this was uploaded again today. I was hoping you were doing a re-reaction, just because of how quick it is.
You raised my hopes. And dashed them quite expertly, sir. 🤣👍
My favorite bit is how the ending can loop it.
"By the way, where the hell are we?" flips back around to "You're on a rock, floating in space."
i wouldn't actually mind a 3+hour long version with you pausing every few seconds to add to this video ;-)
The thing I really got out of this video the first time I saw it was that I think it was the first time that all these different historical events were presented to me together rather than divided by region.
I've never been good with dates, so when in school they'd teach us history by region, I didn't really have much of a sense of what was happening at the same time and how those events fit together and impacted each other. This finally connected those pieces for me, even if just as an overview.
You fighting so hard not to educate us all too much was really funny XD
Thank you for taking the time to re-edit and re-upload.
I feel this man's pain.
He wants to explain some interesting stuff but Bill is just going too fast.
Very happy that you decided to watch this! It's been a fave of mine for a number of years. I show this to kids when they complain about history. :)
I'm with you about wanting to stop to explain everything. I was able to visit Roman ruins in both Kosovo(on patrol)and Bulgaria (on 4 day R&R) while on Deployment.
Ayo, I love the little pauses and explanations honestly; you're pretty knowledgeable and I learned some stuff so thanks for that
You really have to treat this video as a starting point. Lots and lots of topics covered very briefly, you can practically pick any one liner and deep dive for months or even years.
While I’d seen this before, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it with you. Especially appreciated your pauses to elaborate on topics. Thank you!
Never apologize for being passionate about history, dude! 💖
22:36 Martin Luther's questioning absolutely started the Protestant Reformation (protest is the root of the word protestant... Luther's 'protest' against the indulgences of Rome).
Sad that one of the all time great TH-cam videos apparently gets you limited.
I like this video because it links all the different parts of history. When we learn history in school it’s obviously separated to dive deeper into parts. But this video shows how it’s all connected in one stream
Back when I was doing a reaction channel I did this and I think my reaction was around 40-45 minutes. I'm not even an expert, not nearly. So I wouldn't feel bad about the informative interruptions you made. Let's face it, he's condensing 13.7 billion years into 20 minutes, he has no option but to rush over everything on the most basic (and sarcastic) of levels. It's up to the rest of us (eg you) to be inspired to add more depth.
Watching Mr. Lboyd's heart breaking at how fast everything is being glossed over is the realest thing I've seen in a while. I'm right there with you.
It's a bit of a weird reaction to it to be honest. The video was never meant to be, nor does it advertise itself as, a comprehensive history of the world. If nothing else, looking at he run time will tell you this.
The video is clearly meant to be used as a primer.
GUYS I HAVE A CHANNEL WHERE I DO THIS TYPE OF STUFF ALL THE TIME ..
www.youtube.com/@Boyd/videos
There is another channel that just started that has 5000 views with your name and videos of you, I believe it is MrLBOYDmusic. Is this you?
@@stillracer2514 yup that’s me
This dude should be commissioned to make educational videos for everything because its just so great at feeding it all to you.
