Love it! So fascinating, as always.
Fascinating! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your page in search of knowledge!
As an electrical (thanks Erasmus!) engineer, I could mention another Charles Wheatstone invention here, the Wheatstone Bridge. This is a quite elegant way to determine an unknown resistance of a simple circuit.
Again - big thank you!
Excellent! A wonderful tour of the far-spreading influence of a man whom most of us have only fleetingly heard of, and filled with a vast cast of fascinating characters, some well-known, others obscure. Thanks!
Wait, hold up. We could've had "devaporate" and we just went with "condense" instead? That's the most upsetting thing I've learned all day.
You could take a page from Erasmus Darwin's book and just reintroduce it... he didn't let silly things like "no one else says that" stand in his way!
I'l have to start talking about condensation a lot more than I do now, but that may be a worthwhile sacrifice...
I don't think that completely changing the focus of your channel is too much to ask. It's a pretty good word.
Reminds me of my brother's anger that calculus decided to call the opposite of integration "derivation" instead of "disintegration"...
Wow ❣️ Grateful ‼️🌼
you make good videos mane
Brilliant presentation. I'am reading 'The Lunar Men '.. The Friends Who Made The Future by Jenny Uglow right now.
That sounds fascinating! And thank you. :)
how is he not promoted as a "Father" of science? so many discovery and knowledge was either pushed, found, created by him, or around him... it's amazing! I need to read more about him : D
Mostly because he was racist and a eugenicist, thing they accuse his grandson of being with little merit. Erasmus though? He wanted to eradicate Spaniards.
My girlfriend (An American studying linguistics up here in Canada) has a question: are you Canadian? She thinks your accent sounds like the ones she has heard up here, based on your vowels, but I'm not sure. Would you mind letting us know? Thanks!
+Canageek She's quite right! I'm from Ottawa, in fact, if she wants to place the regional accent! Well spotted. :)
Thanks! I'm embarrassed to not have caught it: I'm from Ontario and have spent a couple of summers in the Ottawa Valley.
It's harder to hear your own accent in other people sometimes, I find! I've lived in Toronto & now I'm in Northern Ontario, but with French Canadian & East Indian family roots. May have obscured it a bit.
+Alliterative My first clue was Erasmus having "a bout of gout." Definitely easier for an outsider to hear...especially an outsider who studies language and has to teach about it :P
I've found like three different degrees of Canadian raising just in the couple years I've been up here--there's what you do, there's what +Canageek does ("about" becomes "a boat"), and then there's the "about" --> "aboot" thing which I'm not sure anyone actually does anymore.
+Mara K That should not be crossed out. I didn't know that was a shortcut.
"In my travels through the immense Spanish empire, I have been amazed at how Spaniards treat Indians, like others, even forming mestizo families and creating hospitals and universities for them, I have met indigenous and even military mayors and bishops, which makes in the social peace, well-being and general happiness that we already wanted for us in the territories that with so much effort, we are taking from them. It seems that the London fogs cloud our hearts and minds, while the clarity of sunny Spain makes us see and hear God better. Your Lordships should consider the policy of depopulation and extermination since Spanish faith and intelligence are clearly building, not like us an empire of death, but a civilized society that will finally end up imposing itself as a divine mandate. Spain is the wise Greece, the imperial Rome, England the Turkish corsair. "
Erasmus Darwin (England, 1731-1802), doctor and philosopher; grandfather of Charles Darwin.
¿De nuevo? La cita es FALSA!!!
How do you know?
Revisa su biografía, por favor. Algo tan trascendental como un viaje a América, que sin lugar a dudas no se hacía en pocos meses, sino en AÑOS, no puede pasar desapercibido. En ninguna parte aparece este supuesto viaje, ni mucho menos el impacto que debió de haber causado en tan eminente científico.
Lo haré, no descarto que tenga usted razón.
What? The Spanish and Mestizos have an extreme history of brutality against the indigenous. If you learn about Darwins voyage of the HMS Beagle you'll learn about General Juan Manuel de Rosas and the Gouchos slaughtering the indigenous. That is a mere glimpse into the larger history.
He was also freemason.. Just saying..
And?
🙄 so.
Don't tell me that you are one of those that think there is some vast masonic conspiracy and that their not just some social networking fraternity.
Except I will say that the freemasons from back then were absolutely involved in kicking of the enlightenment revolution and scientific revolution. So maybe we should thank them.
@@joshuawaring4180if you know what the agendas of freemasons are, it would really explain a lot why they would want to come up with some fairytale like evolution, to deceive folks and turn them away from religion..
Atheism = no limits = madness = chaos = what they want.
