Back in the olden days, European explorers and Roman poets didn't think black swans exist. So a black swan was something impossible in their eyes. They even made a whole expression about it. But then they discovered black swans. And Black Swan events came to mean something unexpected and impactful, but not entirely impossible. 9/11, WW1, the fall of the Soviet Union are all considered Black Swan events. But there's more out there than just black swans. Here Be Dragons . . . . Enjoy!
I would like to listen to your feedback to The Impact, Groundbreaking documentary by Actfiles. It's brand new, very long - I watched it very attentively from the beginning till the end. I am absolutely blown away - I have never seen such an investigation. Pls watch it and make a feedback!
This was wonderfully informative and concise. It was the perfect pace, with the right mix between animation and the narrator's face. I'm happy to know about black swans and grey rhinos, but even more happy to have found this channel. :)
I always learn a lot from this channel. In an effort to return the favor, here's a cheat sheet for classical plurals. Many other words with the same endings follow these same patterns: Singular phenomenon, plural phenomena (3:30 in the video) Singular bacterium, plural bacteria Singular vertebra, plural vertebrae Singular parenthesis, plural parentheses Singular vertex, plural vertices Singular fungus, plural fungi Naturally there are exceptions (e.g., stigma / stigmata), but this covers most of the classical plurals that show up in scientific and mathematical contexts.
I love language and learning idiosyncrasies, but in my opinion, those that have imported words in to English over the centuries should have done a better job with grammer consistency. English is already unpredictable enough due to its base of two distinct language stocks (Anglo-Saxon and Norman French). What I believe we should have done over the years is, import the needed root word of foreign origin, but apply all of our own grammatical rules, like affixes and plurals. That way, we would have the benefit of the new word that we lacked, but we would still have a predictable way of using the word. I think the same should also be done with spelling. We should either pronounce the word the way the other language did (probably not going to happen due to languages using phonemes unfamiliar to eachother), or update the borrowed word's spelling to match our comfortable pronunciation. It's only recently that I learned that the confusing silent letter is some words like "psycology' were never meant to be confusing. The 'p' is pronounced in Greek (where we got the word) , but in English, it feels awkward to our sensibilities to pronounce 'ps' at the beginning of a word (though, it doesn't hurt our feelings to say it at the end of a word, like 'collaps'). Another fun one is the word 'vigilante' that we borrowed from Spanish without any change in spelling. In Spanish, it's pronounced 'beeheelantay': totally different. Anyways. Enough with the rant. I do appreciate your educational efforts, and while something is a standard, people ought to know it. So thanks.
That video told me everything I needed to know, then somehow undid itself, halfway through, confusing the hell outta me and told me nothing. Now I'm back to square one.
There are very few actual black swan events. Most events are ‘ Flashing Glitter-ball Elephant’ events. It is just that those in power are too stupid to recognise them. The Millennium Bug was not a Red Swan either. It was a ‘Multi flashing herd of glitter-ball elephants’ event that was dealt with correctly by IT staff and plenty of money thrown at it hence why it was minimised but not totally fixed. There were still millennium bug events but they were dealt with quickly by knowledgable IT staff. Also Covid was not a Black Swan either because it was already known due to SARS 1 and other events which were dealt with correctly. Many events are unpredictable but not Black Swans such as asteroid hits and death stars because we know they can happen. Most events are entirely predictable such as recent energy price rises and food and fuel shortages. These were inevitable.
I first recall the term "black swan" used in connection with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, possibly suggested by the film Black Swan which was released later that year. (The title referred to the role of the "Black Swan" dancer in Swan Lake.) A "black swan event" was described at something that would be highly unlikely to happen, but catastrophic if it did.
@@TheGoodStuff No, you're thinking about the UK there. The term "soccer" isn't only used in the US, it's also used in Canada, large parts of Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, even as a romanisation in Japan. "Football" can actually refer to 3 or 4 different sports in Australia. Australian rules football (Aussie rules), Association rules football (soccer), Rugby League & Rugby Union footballs (league, union).
Would it be though? Scientists have theorized about the possible existence of alien life for decades. Sounds more like a white swan event to me. Many scientists expect that aliens definitely do exist somewhere, but nobody knows if or when we will ever find them.
It seems like based on the definition of a black swan versus a white swan event that a financial collapse like in 2008 could not be considered a black swan event because we know those are inevitable, and they have happened enough times in the last century to be predictable And, in fact, many people did predict the 2008 collapse.
I'm trying to learn English by my own and the word Swan bringed me here, lol- great-. By the way, a real Alien contac will be a Black Swan, a White Swan or a Rhino?
Will that be a grey swan when the Antichrist appears or a gray swan when Jesus returns? That's interesting No smart ass answers I'm f serious..(ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻

POV you are here because of the Baltimore bridge event
Yep
Yes, they knew that’s why we call it the PLANDEMIC

Here because of hurricane helene and Milton crazy
Me, an Australian: wait, there weren't any black swans in Europe? weird
Very rarely. I saw one this year, the first time in my life. Usually they are white as adults, and gray as young.
But are there white swans in Australia?
I'm thinking gray rhino can be considered a white swan and dragon king can be considered a black swan.
The video beside this one has the title: “next black swan event”
There are very few actual black swan events. Most events are ‘ Flashing Glitter-ball Elephant’ events. It is just that those in power are too stupid to recognise them.
The Millennium Bug was not a Red Swan either.

These were inevitable.
Wormwood hitting the earth is one black swan

_"unpredictable ... at least until they happen."_ Genius. I'm out.
yeah. this guy is kind of dumb tbh
Not looking forward to any Black Swan events, however Grey Goose events are welcome.
Love the video but as an Australian gotta let you know that wasn’t a Soccer team Jersey at the end that was an Aussie Rules football Jersey just FYI
What??? I thought Australian football and soccer were the same thing!
@@TheGoodStuff “Australian Rules Football” is a separate sport… it’s big in Melbourne

Finding alien would be a black swan event for sure

@@sk8rdman Agree, aliens don’t look like Black Swans😂😂😂
Americans found aliens a long time ago
They're already here. They're called democrats.
What’s the difference between a white swan and a gray rhino again?
Spelling and pronunciation

inevitable yes, predictable meh tell that to all the banks that failed. Many people guessed it, a lot more didn't
I saw that flannel and thought you were giving black swans 8/10
Shameful downgrade from swans in general getting a 10/10
Great video. Thanks. I am subscribing.
The perfect storm bro
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!
You answered my question beautifully when I could not trust Giggles search results!
2024 is shaping up to be the blank canvas for one
Australia; is full of animals that were somehow missed by the chroniclers of Noah's Ark…
Um... nobody chronicled/ named/counted the animals on the arc. A few are mentioned as characters in the story. And anyway, story is a myth.
I'm surprised they didn't go over the Purple Mongoose
Oh cool, never knew Swan Lake occurred IRL
The Black Swan is the number 1 Globe killer
What about a white elephant
I woulda called the category "WHITE swan event(s)".
This days storms ect are man made with weather manipulation mashines and chemicals.
I hope this Shinzo abe shooting won't cause a domino effect. So sad
Very good cheers
Thank you for sharing history!
You bet!
I'm trying to learn English by my own and the word Swan bringed me here, lol- great-. By the way, a real Alien contac will be a Black Swan, a White Swan or a Rhino?
i say rhino because there is documented proof of ufos
@EllisJ16 not of alien's. Just of things you can't identify, unless you have a brain. Then you know it isn't an alien from outer space.
the video is good, but man you need a better camera (or more light)
I got a major uncanny valley vibe. Not sure it was actually him.
I think the color was just a little over-saturated.
@@PogieJoe nope, that‘s what a high ISO looks like after compression.
did you kill kyoko???
so many metaphores
Who’s is here after the Baltimore bridge collapse 👀
Black cats are awesome 😺
Yes, with bar b que sauce. Awesome!!!
cheers to all the daffy ducks out there!
It can also be a grift by the governments of the world.
The uneven trim of you bear gives me anxiety yes I am weird
Nah, the economic crises are a norm
TIL life is a psychedelic zoo
Back swan = premeditated?
That mark on the wall is so annoying
Clean your screen lol!😂
Well hopefully the Rapture will be our Black Swan event
But you never even mentioned rainbow watermelons. People REALLY don't want to know about rainbow watermelons.........
Or a straight pride event
Prepare for the coming black swan event:

Covid a White Swan event ?? Okayyyyyyyy...... i am out
So Tom Brady’s career would be a …
One direction reunion
Is a grey swan event
Will that be a grey swan when the Antichrist appears or a gray swan when Jesus returns? That's interesting
No smart ass answers

Let's see how long my comments stay before they are removed by algorithms.

Weak and very discombobulated! Best of luck!
What is the plan how did they know?
I'll believe all this when I see a green horse.
Do sea horses count?
