"Hope is a valuable notion to focus on as we look for a way to be content in a world that at times can seem so overwhelmingly bad" - that's a great perspective to start the New Year with!
LUSCID [your user-friendly guide to Science] Yeah
I think it also raises a political point. Our last president ran on the slogan of, "Hope and Change." The current president ran on the slogan, "Make America Great Again." This video highlights the fact that humanity as a whole is greater than it's ever been. That the "good ol' days" weren't that great. Yet I still personally know people who long to return to the 1950s, 1850s, or even the 1650s.
Faux Mustache huh
Faux Mustache
People who long to return to 1850's and 1650's? Are these people the same species as Yoda?
Nah. They're the same species as Jeff Sessions and Steve Bannon. "The pre-war South was a utopia!" and "The Founders are the only true patriots to ever live. American peaked at the Revolution and immediately started to decline."
My Dad always makes this point, glad you're spreading the word, appreciation is a gift in itself.
LanarFalcon1 My Dad as well. I'm with you.
The past was better, it's getting worse more we go forward, is incredible to see how blind and stupid and brainwashed people can be, that you need a video to convince you that you are doing well.
Bruh, I think when people say it sucks to be alive now, they are comparing it to like the 1950-1990s not the 1800s.
Right
Evan Gangle
EXACTLY 40-50 YEARS OF PERFECTION, AS LONG AS YOU WERE WHITE
And also straight and middle class. So that's actually a very select few.
Not to mention it sucked for everyone else
You're wrong it's actually comparing to 2000-2010s
Bad time to come back to this video
Man I was born in the wrong generation
I should've been born like 300 years from now when I'd be able to live forever for the low price of 99¢ and a cheeseburger
Dang it, I thought this was going to be the Drew Gooden vine.
You can still manage to live forever like me
*yeah*
Do you realize 99 cents was alot back then vs now because of inflation, minimum wage changes, etc
... it's 95 cents for a cheesburger in my country
No point complaining about now. The longer you wait for the future the shorter it will be! 😊
isthisronnie 👏👏 well said
isthisronnie Your so beautiful and have a very soothing voice..I was just in india last month..Hope you had a great time.. Peace and Love
WTf, "mind blown", lol
isthisronnie The past is the past. I get your concept. The only problem I have with the future is my paternal grandfather won’t be a part of it. Happy New Years, everyone!
isthisronnie it’s like you’re not doing GCSE’s A levels or Uni courses or find it hard to find a job.
I actually needed this. It came at a perfect time. Sometime you see all these horrible things in the news everyday such as earthquakes and crises that you just feel like the world is getting worse but if you actually look at statistics it’s getting better. It’s sort of refreshing
*THANK* *YOU* !! Every time someone complains about life right now, and how much it was '''so much better before'', it makes me wonder exactly when things were better. Perhaps in the 1300s when everybody was dying of plague or the 1800s where most of the world was in deep poverty?
DArtagnan010 what they mean by before it is by the decade not by the century lol. I am ashamed about being a millennial cause liberals are so wrong most of the time.
DArtagnan010 it was better in the 1950s - 1980s. I wasn’t alive then but I know I’d love to live back then
The plague. That was a good time wish it was still around
Chloe Neilson 1950: Racism was still legal and segregation still existed. Polio was a large problem aswell. 1960: Racism was still legal and segregation was now just starting to fade away. The KKK was a large problem. 1970: Drugs, Drugs, Drugs, and gangs. 1980: More drugs, mafia, gangs, and monopolies still existed.
Ok but even 20 years ago was objectively way worse if your not white or straight.
I'm psyched for the future. Genome editing, interplanetary travel, tech singularity. It really is a great time to be alive. :)
It's still kind of sad that every year we have to actively remind ourselves that things where worse centuries ago.
I mean of course, how could Americans elect a RAPIST? I mean I saw that on CNN news, president was definitely talking about non-consentual rape in public and Al Franken was right about him. Why should he even resign if there is a REAL rapist in the white house. CNN news are always right, so as Al Franken, also did I mention Weinstein? He is the outmost advocate for "women's rights", he is also right about Trump. Hell what I bad year.. All those innocent victims are now being prosecuted, while the true rapist Trump is still in office
Zignas Ihmasmas copy and oaste
+Zignas Ihmasmas
yet all of the charges were dropped... there is this thing called INOCENT UNTIL *PROVEN* GUILTY that y'all commies don't seem to understand...
Voltage Drop They were dropped because he's president. He was not proven not guilty either, there was just no trial. I guarantee it will be brought up again as soon as he's no longer president.
+Breanna May
so, him being the POTUS somehow puts him above the law? 1 word: *UNCONSTITUTIONAL*
THANK YOU! Everyone these days are like "I wish I was in a different time", but literally every other time period would be hell yo live in for those people compared to now!
The best way to make everyone refuse to go back in time is reminding the them that there's no internet.
Oh and you'd also not be able to understand anybody prior to 1750 since languages changed since then.
it's just like, "have fun having a lifespan of 30 years while crying over the bodies of your 11 dead children who died of smallpox and plague"
Dark EeveeXx People didn't live to be 30 often. Basically if you didn't die as a young child you'd live a long life of about your 70s. But the child mortality rates were so high it brings the average down to like 30 so the part about your 11 children dying of disease is pretty accurate
Yep, but if you lived in Europe during the plague epidemic...
actually no, the average lifespan wasn't 30, people lived to be quite old certainly by the beonze age, but child mortality was constantly high.
0:06 so young, so innocent. If only we knew...
Thank you for this. More poeple need to see this
Pretty Little Liars I agree.
People*
ruzha2l but but... your bullshit though
poeple...
People
I think it’s cool you metioned the spanish flu. I wrote a 20 page essay about it and found it very difficult to find good reliable sources about it cause apparently it hasn’t been very well documented and this is the first time i’ve seen it being mentioned in a non-history-or-medical-book-kinda-casual context video! ^^ sorry für the bad english love your videos!😊
Finally someone understands that the world has actually changed for the better there’s many videos showing it had changed “for the worse”
Translation: "It could always be worse."
I hate when old people or even my dad say ""oh it was so much better in the old days. There was much less crime and everything cost less."
Funny how none of my black family members say that.
My grandfather says the exact opposite, saying how people have no idea how good they have it today, and how no one would be able to handle it with how bad it was in the past. Saying how no one knows what it's like to work all day and only get just enough to pay for a loaf of bread, how no one lived in real houses, it was all makeshift houses made out of whatever it is you could find, how if he lived in the tin shed he currently has, he'd think it was great and almost like living like royalty(mind you he does have it set up decently, with tables, chairs, distillery, bar, fridges, etc). Also how everyone had to hunt or grow most of their own food because there wasn't anywhere near enough money to actually buy all of your food, and having a proper bed was just a fairly tale that couldn't really happen in his mind. He also had never seen running water inside someones house until he was in his mid 20's. He also goes on and on and on about how lazy everyone is nowdays.
@@Crashandburn999 Thats the truth. Other ppl bragging about how great the past was are just having issues to adapt to modern time. Im sorry to any young person having to listen to how great it was and how bad it is now. I hope these kids wont get effected that much. I dont want to imagine how bad it would be to live life when hearing this all day long
People need to stop complaining about their lives and just appreciate what they have for a few seconds
What a wonderfully positive video. Thank you! Sometimes we need this perspective to appreciate what we have.
I can't agree more with this video. I've explained this stuff to people so many times. The facts are that we are living in the best time in human history.
Yet, we are still ungrateful. Mankind!
Nobody gonna talk about how he are literally in a worldwide outbreak
Thanks for the true positive video. :) People being dramatic all of the time gets really old.
My parents keep saying that the world is the worst at its time because of trump,north Korea,Ebola and gun violence. The world is really the best at it's time.
Ebola has a cure
Uh, no. There is a "possible" cure. It has not been tested on people yet. Only non-human primates.
that moment when youre smarter than your parents because youre the only one who actually really knows how great the world is as of today compared to before
You couldve answered with WW2 and stroke the discussion right there
question : what is the psychology of people who like pain
and why do we cringe?
I just want to say thank you! When I feel down I watch one of your videos and feel optimistic and inspired about the future again:)
"When people think about the future, they don't assume war"
Uhhh
Proof again that it is actually much better to live now then before, I hate it when people say in the 'old days' everything was better.
You guys should do one on essential oils and if they work or not
I love that idea!
Hey ! I love your videos and have been watching for three years now. Keep doing what you are doing because it makes a lot of people happy. I do have on critique though: the bacteria that spread across the world is called Yersinia Pestis but as a whole, it was not known as the "Black Plague" but is was either known as the "Plague' or "The Black Death" - because of the dark rashes and boils that appeared all over your body. Keep doing what you are doing x
This hits differently in 2020...
This is an uplifting video especially since I just got over my depression last year
...
*** torrents of insane laughter ***
More guys need to see this important things to undestand the difference between the differents lifestyles in the past and now thks a lot❤❤
Every generation has its challenges.... we might not have disease, war or famine, but being exposed to riches we could never have dreamed of and will probably never have is a curse our ancestors never had to face.
Sebastian Elytron yeah because surely people from 200 years ago didnt want to live like kings, have more land, more money, a better house.., and yeah, most of them never got those
julio cuvillo "Exposed" was my key word. Did the kings appear on TV all the time and were all over the internet?
I dunno about you but I’d much prefer not seeing friends and family drop dead left and right. I’d also prefer not being smacked around for being left handed.
but they were basically lived in huge castles, surrounded by the poor peasant houses....and those poor people can only watch their king lives in luxury in front of them...they don't need a TV to directly watch the rich noble living in front of their house lol... and also there is a parade festival that just brags about the noble richness parading around the poor people settlement at that time...
But our society are much more dispersed now, thanks to country territorial law, and that's why we need a TV now to watch those celebrities living like a king in far away place from our home lol....
Flop Fish with that sort of logic it’s a miracle society survived for so long, I mean seriously did they not know that humans who know how to swim can float?
Asapscience this video topic to start the year, this video made me feel very optimistic and happy 😊 keep up the good work
We still have skin diseases for which we can barely address the symptoms (itching, etc) let alone understand the causes. Would love to hear about what’s in the works in dermatology.
HAPPY NEW YEAR AsapSCIENCE!!✨✨✨✨
"I was born in the wrong generation"
My freaking @$$
Thanks for all the effort you put into each an every one of your videos!
Thankyou asap science for giving us hope
Rebels are built on hope!
Common Cool Channel do you have a plan?
"The rotation of the Earth really really makes my day" it made me laugh so much
This is great! But I’d just like to point out that just because you’re overweight does not mean you’re well nourished. Many overweight and obese people are technically malnourished because they aren’t getting the necessary vitamins and nutrients in their diets. Again, I’d say that’s still better than dying of starvation...
The occasional optimism is quite alleviating. Thank you, I sincerely appreciated. Things haven't been well for a while.
Well, i guess past is past, no need to discuss. I am looking forward for the future.
The fact that we live in a time where most people have the possibility to worry and criticise our politicians(and each other) in an instant even among social classes, instead of being blind of what is going on and have only the limitation of worrying surviving day by day on our own, shows that humanity has evolved from the past.
We always worry about the bad future and hate the one we have currently because we TODAY have the ability and possibility to worry about more things that we were not simply even close to be able to worry about in the past.
Knowledge gives more worries, but knowledge also gives more ways to find solutions to the extensive worries we are developing.
The day to day worries we used to have are simple human rights of today, the worries we have today hopefully will be simple human rights in the future
Hope 2018 will be a better year😞
Aj Flick yeah right every year is more painful as you get older life is a never ending train wreck that feels like it will go on forever.
Outlook makes a big difference. You'll always see life that way, even when it's not, if that's the perspective you choose.
rev0lve that is how i feel i doubt that will ever change.
No one has more strength to change your mind than you do. I'm not saying it's easy, but you definitely have the strength to shape yourself into who you want to be. (Sorry Flick! I'm sure you give no shits about our convo)
rev0lve idk if i give any shits about our conversation but thanks for replying glad somebody replied to me i am not used to that because i usually don't comment on vids.
Thanks for sending out your community poll because TH-cam definitely didn’t put this amazing video in my subscription box!
Oh im early, let me say “a joke”
Why did the toilet paper struggle to cross the road?
It got stuck in a crack
RapidVlo nice one
RapidVlo yoyoyo
boooo:D
RapidVlo lol
HOW *ORIGINAL*
I hate when people say we are doomed and we are living in the worst time of the year, but I try to tell them that this is not true but they don't want to believe me :(
I'd like to show this video to my parents and grandparents as they say that living in the past was way better than nowadays and stuff like this...
THANK YOU for this video. i get really annoyed by the crazy pessimism all around. what we need to better the world is positive visions and courage, not paralyzing anxiety and fatalism!
I love your videos so much, and I was going to have a laugh at "when we think of the future we don't think of war" thinking this was an older video. But no, that's literally all we think of, with the president of the United States literally flaunting the US's nuclear arsenal to North Korea, if people don't think war is even an idea, they are ignorant to how irrational these people can be. More importantly, although we haven't had a "Great War" or a "World War" we've been going at this war on terror longer than some viewers of TH-cam have even been alive, I know we've been in it since I was young, and I don't see it ending with the way leadership on both sides is going.
The rest of your video is great, but I feel like you're not being honest here about war in this world... Sure it may not be as devastating as other wars, but it hurts us as human beings all the same...
Ryan Hash no that's what only deranged lunatics like you think...
Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now.
Wow, I guess life is all about perspective.
whenever time we're living we'll not be happy and will want to complain on something
More like "My Life In The Past Vs My Life Now"
That's optimistic af.
I'll rewatch this whenever I'm too down with humanity.
Who’s watching this while at home because of Coronavirus 🤣
Awwww!! Thanks for the happy vid! I really needed this today :)
2:10 "Today most of our flu worries are based around the pain of needles" laugh in Covid 2020
1:58 The spanish flu "flew" in orbit lol
**corona virus enters the chat**
Wow, really makes you feel how fortunate you are to be alive now compare to then.
Was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a month ago so I'd be dead if I lived in the past
_Jus sum food for thought_ ...
If everyone rlly vouches and takes action for peace and prosperity then we wouldn’t have to fear ppl turning around committing wrongdoings and being miscellaneous. Peace is not an impossible goal, it’s simply logical.
Any 90's Kids Here Like Me.......
I Think We Had a Great Past tho..
Ajay Ganesh
I am here
the stats don't really reflect reality we face daily: become more anxious of threats from polution, absence of clean water, food provision, critical desease.
well... this didn’t age well
I am so thankful that we are healthier and much better off today.
This is actually my first time thinking my country may actually get into a very dangerous war... Trump really has me on edge.
Well this didn't age well.
@@TheMadLeprechaun lmao
Just 100 years ago we didn't have indoor toilets, toilet paper, washing machines, microwave ovens and etc. etc...life is pretty easy these days compared to the past. People worked from sun up till sun down. Now most of us work 40 hrs a week, have time for relaxation/vacations and live longer. Best of all we now have the internet for answers to most of our questions.
This is weird, because last year you said nothing can be as bad as the year 2016.
Charlie Clumsy I remember them saying the opposite, but having the video titled that to get more views...
Charlie Clumsy Leftists believe Trump is the devil, even fpr the good stuff he is doing.
Joseph Ang This isn't even about Trump
This video is very agravating. Yes, times are much better than they were in the past but it doesn't mean that times aren't extremely difficult now... Why would I compare myself to the ancient societies of the past if they had no technology to speak of and different goals?
The most ironic part is that despite all the advancements in our societies, we still make the same mistakes as the people before us... *There truly is nothing new under the sun* ...
How do you make such awesome video?
With skills and dedication
With bobs and vagene

Just because things are better doesn't mean their perfect. Things being worse before is a pretty common excuse for people to just give up and stop improving.
This makes me feel so proud that I'm a medical aspirant 😊
Good luck. :)
Stuti R. Probably not
930 8323 thank you 😊
Loa ding lol should I ask why?
I think of modern civilization as "humanity after/during the experiment" because the last 100 years of history have so little in common with the preceding 8,000, that modern lifestyles and ideas are unique and new enough to very easily be considered experimental.
3:00 "When most people look into the future they don't assume war."
Internet: Lol fellas who's ready for Kim Jong Un to throw those nukes, this is gonna be *L I T*
What’s funny is in the next 600 years people will be thinking we didn’t have a good life
EQUALITY! We should all love each other no matter what race, religion, gender, looks, or who we love. We’re all humans and we all have feelings so let’s start treating each other that way instead of treating those who are different from each other with disrespect! We are all different and we all have feelings
^ This comment deserves more likes
When I think of equality I think of Socialism
thats impossible with free speech/will
Captain Heat Lol no
HyperBloo Many religions are made to hate specific groups of people you know
Hey :- "is taste important?" / "What is the role of taste in digestion ?" or " what will happen if we can't taste food?"
All poverty is man made. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to die of hunger when we have the ability to feed everyone, except that it isn’t profitable in out current economic system.
I've been watching the Netflix series Dark and Asap science puts up a video on the past and present. Wow!
people during black plague looking at us complaining about 2020: 😐
The media just amplifies impact to the minds of people.
But but but I was told 2016 was the worst year ever
Jay Williams nah 2017 was worse
Definitely not, as highlighted in this video. Besides, it’s kind of hard to measure what year was “worse” as there is no objective criteria that makes something the worst year ever.
beth M 😑 really.....
Jay Williams That's just liberals lol
Constantine V nah my feelings were hurt I could have died
I remember two summers ago I woke up at 4 am and watched a bunch of your videos .. that was actually one of the only things I remember from that summer❤️
Thoughty2 also made a great video about this.
I hate that guy .....ackk
I thought this was going to be a video trying to convince me that my life now is better than it was when I was young.
You're looking for the 2020 comments ...
Let's hope for a great 2018, everyone!
This video didn't age well
Being critical of the present is a must for progression, if today was great, why change it? Who cares if it could be better?
*Humans before didn't have internet or wifi.....*
*Thank God I live in this era*
I hate this era. I wish i lived in an era where people actually talked to each other and had an attention span. I miss when people used to play outside. I hate the internet and wifi. Thats why everyone has depression and anxiety.
Right Thank God
Something bad is gonna happen before people know it and in the future they're going to go back and watch this video, feeling extremely dissapointed.
Oh snap, casually disses praying.

Shut up woman

This is just a big "back in my day!"
