cheers mate
@@ThinkingandTinkering good to see you back....
We welcome you back with open arms, hearts and minds.
You are one of the great speakers, tinkerers and educators of our time.
You remind me of Fred Dibnah but a bit more refined and organized. You perpetuate the great British enthusiasm for engineering and learning.
Thank you.
Greetings from the high plains of Texas.
What a lovely message. A beautiful point well made. Thank you.
History is so important, its a pity we don't always learn from our mistakes. Great vid, thanks for sharing.
Very Good too see you Robert. My life was altered much in the same way, in January 2023, I lost my Love of 11 years. Shortly after I received my elegoo 3d printer you reviewed. It's Still in the box till this day.. my mind has explored many avenues beyond consciousness brother. You will always be a Great inspiration to the world and myself. Thank you
You have made a impact on this world that will last well past all of us
Bonds are eternal they touch us and get passed on by us in many ways.
Much respect to you Robert.
Rob mate thank you for the inspiration and ideas you bring to us
It's good to see you back
A thought provoking video and an interesting archaeological site. Good to see you at work on TH-cam again.
Its good to see you back, a very thoughtful vid, remember you have friends you don't even know.
The Orkneys gave me one of the best archaeological holidays ever and some of the best photos I have ever taken. You can feel the history wherever tread. Except Tesco's.😊
Well said Rob ✌️ Thanks for taking us on this journey with you.
So sorry for your loss. Good to see you're back. I like this philosophical style video.
So Glad you feel you can make videos again. Thanks XXX
While in times of old it took monuments to remind the living, you sir will have affected millions and will continue to even long after you are gone. Just don't do it too soon, your teaching is both fun and enlightening making my life, as well as other, better.
As it does with technical problem solving, your perspective has allowed me to consider yet another topic in a completely new way. Thanks for that!
It’s great to see you back again Rob and a very important subject for me. Life and death and mortality is something I have pretty much thought about for most of my life. Having had to deal with the fears that radical evangelistic Christianity forced on me (although I do see much wisdom in the Bible…it’s the doctrines that the churches have added that bother me most) …having mostly shaken the tyrannical bonds, I find that the answers, although not given to us individually without effort, they are all there but we can find them in nature itself I believe. The thingI find is that it doesn’t matter what culture or language you speak nature herself will speak to you … spotting patterns for example like circles not just physical but metaphorical like the circle of life, the amazing science of mathematics and numbers and the constants that help to form spiral patterns. … such incredible beauty and when. You realise that if life starts and ends it must continue but in a different form.
There is so much to learn but you need to have an open heart and sincerity to find it and it’s a journey that takes a lifetime.
Being kind to people, forgiveness letting go of anger and hatred, cause and effect etc etc … we all have to learn these lessons ourselves …. But what is that incredible entity that we call the spirit … the intangible element that exists even when a loved one has departed us, there is that part of them that remains we just need eyes to see … thanks for this Robert look forward to your next videos… hope that you are enjoying your trip around the Orkneys
I realised how much I value your videos when they stopped popping up. Glad you're back.
That really resonates even with a modern day hermit like myself. I may isolate myself on this old farm, but I'm still connected in many ways to the generations of farmers that transformed this place from wilderness.
You will sure matter for me for sure, you give the whole humanity so much in every single video you make. And Everyone that we met during our lives matters for sure as well, at the end of the day what are our memories if not people, events and feelings.
I sent you a post after your loss, You don't get over friends/family dying, it gets less intense and you carry on, never forgetting.
I said this because my life has been shaped by death. Mother suicide 1, brother motorbike 18, brother 26 motorbike, brother suicide 26. Not an easy go...
I live for the future you can plan and change that. The past is set in concrete thinking about it, changes nothing. I went to the UK in 2018, fantastic trip including 2 weeks on a narrow boat.
The Canal ways are a bicyclists dream, flat, in nature, away from traffic, this should be a UK must do. Do your trip, plan it on the canals, start a canal way adventure... Enjoy 🙂.
Coming back in June - July 2024, I'll ride on a canal with or without you 😎👍.
Wow ! So true . I have always thought about having a canal boat for a fraction the cost of a studio flat in central London. To then hire it out for holidays and move it to a new spot every day constantly. What a great bussiness awaits me in the future if only I could be motivated in the now ❤
Thanks much for taking the time to put together and share this video, sir! If I may say, you're looking really good! I can see the biking is paying off already!
Thanks for that, very interesting. Always a pleasure to watch....
Loving these new videos! Thank you.
That's a very uplifting presentation. Such a pleasure to see a happy Robert telling us fascinating things.
A very good topic to talk about, thank you Robert
Welcome back Rob, great to see you making vids again. Thank you for deciding to put the effort in and share wisdom with us all.
From Tribal mindsets to the modern ego, now on the way to the next stage, 46 and 2.
Beautiful. This is a very insightful foray into philosophy. Your talent for coming at things from a different angle works well here.
What you expressed, Robert, how you expressed those things that are so seldom heard or even seen, our modern way isn't compatible or even linked to that intrinsic part of life. I reckon that makes death all the more terrifying when you strip your whole life of facing it naturally and wholesomely. I dread thinking of it as my father kept it shut down while his dad died on a motor vehicle accident when he was 20. So my inclination to understand and connect with humanity's shared fate stems solely and naturally from the way I am hardwired, though having had no conversations about it during my formative years holds a tremendous grip on me and makes it an overwhelming thought. I cannot stop myself from going deep into philosophical considerations about death and dying, not in search of any universal 'meaning', but contemplating how unfathomable (a meta-contemplation I guess) ceasing to exist is - both subject and objectively. All in all, dear Robert, here is a hug (albeit virtual) in support for your loss and thank for this video. ♥️ ...no man is an island / entire of itself / each piece is a continent / a part of the main | each man's death diminishes me / for I am involved in mankind / Therefore, send not to know / for whom the bell tolls - It tolls for thee.
Will Robert matter? The answer is YES. His generosity in sharing ideas, and his constant interest in new and old ideas drives curiously in so many others that we grow through his direct & indirect connection to us.
Good to have you back Rob. I didn't know those mounds looked like that on the inside. Could be a great mini series. Neolithic stuff is so interesting 😎
Excellent video, glad to have you back!
What amazes me Robert is if we freeze the world's civilizations. We still have island hunter gathers in the southern hemisphere ( some islands forbidden for visitation - due to indigenous killing you). And then we have first world empires able to reach out into the solar system with robots & spacecraft. Thumbs-up sir, done my visitations of french cairns & prehistoric dwelling sites!
Everything is the same thing" Energy can neither be created or destroyed, only transformed! Gtsy!👊🤙
Missed you Robert!! Happy you're back❤️
Well after watching this video I can certainly say on some level you'll never leave me.
Good to see you back, Robert. Only those who have been completely forgotten truly leave the land of the living.
As always interesting and articulate great to see you back 👍
Very interesting video. It's funny, I have been pondering about the very same topics you mentioned. I was thinking about how I couldnt even recall the names of my great-great-great grandparents, much less the names of folks further down the line. I think we take it for granted that our existence is the result of nameless generations that suffered untold, forgotten hardships and surpassed innumerable obstacles.
What warmth !!🥰🥰
Being from the U.S., we have a pretty short history as compared to the U.K., so I often look to your history for insight and context (...Time Team, Digging for Britain, etc.) It really is fascinating to see how reverence to ancestors has changed from the Stone Age right on through the modern day.
What I'm seeing now, in my country, is a disturbing effort to tear down and erase from our history monuments because of perceived injustices, instead of allowing them to stand as reminders to for us to do and be better.
I guess your short American history depends on whether you are native American or not. But I agree with you.
The attempt of removing history is happening in the UK too.
Not just to remove it, but to rewrite it.
As you say,it should be learnt from,not forgotten.
Stone age nylon. Erm...check the nice white barriers at the entrance
So very good to see you again, Robert.
Sad to think about how much history has been destroyed. Stone fields being destroyed right now for department stores.
Great speech Rob
Squishes🤗🤗🤗
I lost my dad in 2017. I miss him everyday. We buried him in our family cemetery on a hill in Kentucky. 6 generations are there❤
Side note- you should get those saddlebags for your bike for when you find cool stuff on the road😁♥️
Refreshing content, thanks for posting
Fascinating topic 👍
Love your bicycle by the way.
Nice to see that friendly smile again on TH-cam. Have a nice day :)
Good to have you back. Yours is the best channel of the whole of youtube.
Good to see you back in the saddle Robert, my journey through life dealing with my mortality and that of my family was very hard, but I can honestly say that once I became an atheist all that went away, now ditched that kind of Pascal's wager life style, I accept that my exsistance will end one day and I do not want that, but it is a simple fact, and it is the order of things.
Take care Robert.
This gave me something to think about, thank you. Hope you are well.
Very thought provoking as I walk my pink poodle through the landscape.
It's really great to see you Robert! We all consider you a friend .. of the family!
Nice to see you back Rob .
Not suprisingly, you are still causing us to consider, shared energies.
So glad you made it back to us Rob!
My (and I'm certain many others) thoughts, prayers, best wishes & virtual emotional support are with you!
Thankyou for the beautiful video
Metaphysics is my specialty. Would love to comment but its not an easy thing to break down what take 4 or 5 years of study to get, into a paragraph or two. Nontheless, profound. Still praying for your family living and deceased.
That was very deep... Good to see you back Sir. You never seize to make us wonder.
Without a doubt, we do stand on the shoulders of those before us. Thanks for the reminder.
Glad to see you back on your channel Robert. I have missed you greatly. Sholder on friend, soldier in.
Kenneth Clark is that you? Nice video.
Why on earth are you not delivering your brilliant thoughts, methods and tinkering about with purpose on TV documentaries? Never change, never stop… we love it. Great to see you moving forward.
Love it Rob, I often think of the same things. I am glad you are back and I hope you continue to thrive.
God bless you Rob. As you so eloquently stated, we will all face this one day. We can live on in the memories of those we touched and loved in our time here. Be blessed Brother.
Good to see you back doing things that you do well like no others.
I definitely have felt what your feeling, and I know that sounds presumptuous but please hear me out. About 15 yrs ago I had lost my younger sister and then my daughter about 6 months apart and both with allot of regret of actions not taken. It was a very heavy weight for allot of yrs. Went to allot of different groups and heard allot of beliefs, with allot of anger. That part of it never gripped me so much it was the question of why are we here and what was I to learn from the pain. Pain always teaches if we listen.
Most people live and die and are forgotten in a generation or two, but there are those rare individuals that are in our history books like Edison and Tesla that will be remembered for longer. I never really looked into the clan and family aspect of it, being American we didn't have that kind history, so I thank you for resparking my thoughts and contemplation on this subject.
Truly feel sad for what your going thru. It is a process that'll take yrs. One foot in front of the other some days, chin up, but being English I know you know all about that... Care.
Always thought provoking RMS. I wonder if those underground houses for the dead where used initially as their residences ? As a species we have been building dwellings wrong for centuries. An earth integrated dwelling makes tons more sense than one built above ground, even a fox realizes that. Erath integrated dwellings and renewables are the way forward. If ya pop ya clogs tomorrow don't worry we won't forget you, well I won't, you still owe me a tenner.
Although we all do it, watching someone else processing something tragic and inescapable - even channeling it in a way - highlights the resiliency of the human spirit.
I wonder what would happen to humanity and society if immortality became real?
Would we still be creative, would we write love songs, make art? How would it change us?
I ponder these things.
Inevitably perhaps with immortality there's a dystopian future of profoundly bored individuals searching for meaning in a meaningless universe that awaits.
It's then we'll realize it's death that gives life meaning and wonder how we were so blind.
I wonder?
Yay robs back ❤
Great to see you again Robert! Wise words indeed as always, maybe more profound than usual but equally inspiring. I think of our own mortality very often, if not everyday. It could be that as we grow older we become more aware of our mortality, with more reality checks happening as we lose our loved ones, one after another. Sometimes we lose ourselves in comparisons of wealth and other short-lived material things and regard life as unjust. However, I think that mortality is the only just thing in life. Independent of who we are in this short life, we are all destined to go. We are like commuters on a huge bus stop, waiting for our bus to arrive.
Death the leveller
That is very true, Robert
I would like to wish you the very best on the 2 great journeys ahead of you, 1 physical, 1 not,
I hope yourself and Luke are both doing ok
Nice to see you're creating videos again. Welcome back
Man, I wish I could see all that in person, thank you for sharing.
An excellent piece with a particularly relevant summing up at the end.
The people with the most impact on history do it by actions and inventions, not by name. The man who invented the wheel's impact on us lives on in our everyday, even if we don't know his nme
Absolutely!
A very comforting thought mate thanks 🙏
Good video Robert. I'm in Bali now and talked to some people. They honor and use the work of their forfathers to the extreme. For the rice fields the use irrigation systems unchanged since 7th century.
Lovely to have you back.
Great video Robert, very thought-provoking.
I can see your forthcoming cycling tour becoming something like Adam Hart-Davis' Local Heroes programme.
Your research and presentation is always top quality, and I reckon it would be a good way of achieving your goal while continuing to produce your excellent educational videos.
beautiful
another great video to stimulate thought. i think ancient man would have respected the laws of nature and was more in tune with life and death. his shorter lifespan made him appreciate life more. he would have also have respected his elders because they were around longer with family and for also sharing their knowledge, wisdom and life learnings to the community for the greater good. i can see that your great ancestors shine through you rob and you embody the spirit of the elders - many thanks.
Why do I cry hearing you again?
The Cairn, the grave is for the living…
To heal what once was whole
Its good to hear you again.
I didn't know I missed your voice, you thoughts in this world that much
Great to have you back. Great thoughts.❤
That was well put. All the best!
Well said.
my absolute favorite teacher
I was kinda hoping for a can based Stirling engine that powers a small Tesla coil and excites a CFL tube to light up a room with the same amount of light as a 60w to 100w bulb using the heat of just one tea light, but this is good. Glad to have you back.
I hope he chuckled at your comment ... I certainly did!
As per all the other comments, we've missed you and have been thinking of you. Superb to see you back on the 'telly'.
Good to see you Robert 🙂
Happy your back Bob..hope its not too soon... Take care bud...
Welcome back Rob & what an interesting video (as usual I may add)
Looking forward to continue watching many more mate !
Cheers
Good to see you making videos again. (Glad the music stopped so i could hear you better.)
Interesting and fascinating perspective about the living and dead tied together.
