Today's episode is about value. This is the story of a rock. It was once worth fighting wars over. Now its just a rock.

Thanks for watching! You're clearly one of the good ones.
Thanks to everyone who asked about our Patreon. I'll put out a full video when I get the time, but for those who want to jump the gun and get on board from the start, here's the link: www.patreon.com/rareearth
It means a huge deal that so many have asked us to start an account. I never thought anyone would watch these videos, let alone support them.
Your videos are creatively unique, and bring their own flavour to historical discussion. You deserve the support!
Did you try to blow in it
Love the series. Since your lady is Hungarian, It'd be nice to see some episodes shot in Hungary. Not only Asia and Polinesia can be cool and foreign. What the subject might be...I guess you have to brainstorm. Could be anything from pigslaughters in villages (a.k.a. family gatherings) to stories from the Soviet occupation.
Hi, I have been watching all your videos since the beginning, I like your series and there is a lot of people that I think would love them too but the problem is that they don't understand english, have you ever thought to translate your videos to Spanish?, not only subtitles but also the voice, there is a huge amount of spanish speakers that are using TH-cam and I think could be a big opportunity to keep growing. I have not money to support you on patreon (venezuelan -_- ) but if there is another way in which I can help please let me know.
I just love how you always manage to put some fundamental truth into your videos. I mean it's not a travel chanel but a traveling philosophy channel.
The Rock didn't lose it's magic, the magicians left.
From what I gather it was a weather predictor ..I'm guess I g when it did make noise that meant the wind was bringing in a storm ..sooooo yeah magician shmagician...stupid magic ppl ....jk ....I completely agree...condescending remarks at the end were not even remotely funny ...if they were I would have laughed ...but I didn't ...so that means it wasn't right ......right?
@@joegofacyasulf4744 Highlighted Shmighlighted. Great name Joe , why don't you?
It's sad that people don't believe in magic, truly.
Wow!!! thats profound!!!
It is waiting a geologic moment for their return.
That rock had such a stellar status in the Easter Island community that it was the world's first rock star.
IARRCSim Youre great lmao
IARRCSim 😂😂😂😂
but does it know how to play thunderstruck?
i actually laughed at this
This comment had 666 likes but may CHRIST COMPEL YOU WITH THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY LIKE BOTTON! *Boop*

Rated 2.5 stars. Who are these people rating a rock display? What did they expect?
People took offence to that rating, it's now 4.9.
2:35 Is this a CRATER? Looks like a meteor hit there 🤔 I wonder if that's why people seen something special in Easter Island....
@R B lmao (no offense to those who think this... Just how you said that)
perhaps some rock music at least…
When everybody living on this planet is gone that rock will still be here. rock on...
But will it increase in value? I bet if you videotaped yourself (or better yet, a friend) pushing it over that would get a lot of views. A bunch of negative reactions as well but what they hey, it's just sitting there. A stupid rock.
Depends, it'll erode after awhile
@jhnnytsunami1 I agree with you completely. It's just a rock. But it has much history; that is what makes it special, for what it represents. But almost no one knew about it until some a-hole videos himself doing something stupid and posting. Now all his idiot friends and their idiot friends will send it round the world. Many will think it's "cool." Such stupidity.
Certainly someone will pick it up and load it onto the last space ship to leave earth, bound for our new home.
Damn now I feel bad for a rock
Danku Franku I think I just fell in like with you.
I feel worse for the god. The rock, at least, persists. The Trumpet is not forgotten. It still has a tiny shrine to its importance. What of Hiro? Nothing. Hiro is nothing. Forgotten. Undone. Dead. Hiro doesn't even exist anymore.
i wanna blow it
boi
Cal Clove for real, why didn't he blow on it
The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles!
FORGET THE STUPID PIONEERS. Have you noticed that there are NONE of them left?
The Imaginary Axis hahahaha
It's not just a boulder... it's a rock!

im glad you mention debeers influence.
they CREATED the desire for a diamond engagement ring and the stupid 2 month salary value
Not stupid for deBeers, they created this whole crazy market !!
I love how you keep talking about how this rock is interesting to no one and yet you centered your whole video around it. It is as brave as it is beautiful
It has a 4.2 rating now. Just from this video its value/rating increased.
Publicity, advertising included, can indeed add the value.
4.6 now
4.8 :clap:
The rating uncertainty principal.
In before Peter Thiel/Koch Bros./George Soros/Rupert Murdoch has it stolen to harness its divine powers.
BUT WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE???
th-cam.com/video/hrrC-1C6vcs/w-d-xo.html
Lemons Rage, you spoil us.
It wasn't the rock itself that had the value, but the sound it could make. The one thing you didn't show. Even the demonstration in Lemons Rage's video, I would guess, doesn't demonstrate what it could sound like if played by a person who dedicated themselves to bringing the rain with it.
In that sense, your video is like going to a chello concert where, instead if hearing the chello played, it's being displayed.
AynenMakino the sound is irrelevant here, this story is about the instrument itself.
AynenMakino the point of the video wasn't to discuss or display the audio produced by the rock. The rock is used to demonstrate & discuss the relativistic nature of "value" and how it is defined within the context of culture. To this end, by discussing the rock, and to a lesser extent talking about-but not showing -the sound it can make, I think Rare Earth has added to value to the rock. They've made it relevant, curious, something to ask questions about-something to get upset about in TH-cam comments. They both present the discussion and contribute to it. So, in the same vein, I asked "what does it sound like?"...
We all have Google, we can all find what it sounds like, the point of my comment was to poke fun at the omission and to promote curiosity in the object itself. In short, to participate in the conversation & to contribute to the rock's "value" by prompting the same question in others.
Well, about that rain, Rapa Nui is located at 29S latitude, which should put it in the thick of the southern subtropical ridge. And in fact, meteorologists call that area a "semi-permanent anti-cyclone".
Anti-cyclones are high pressure "good weather" systems where descending dry air suppresses cloud development. The cumulus clouds in this video are a perfect example - moisture is trapped close to the ground and gradually blown away by the wind. High-pressure systems are also gravity-powered air compressors and the descending air has a steady source of energy which is converted to infrared radiation.
So the prevailing weather near 30 degrees latitude is warm and calm, humid at the surface if there is water available and cold at night if there isn't. This weather pattern isn't exactly "good weather" for agriculture. In fact it's one of the major ingredients of the subtropical deserts.
Rapa Nui does get enough rain that it's not doomed to desertification, but the prevailing South Pacific High means that it doesn't rain often, and a successful ecosystem must be adapted to infrequent and heavy rain.
For hundreds of years humans lived in the forests of Rapa Nui. That fell apart after the Dutch visited. Depending on who you ask, that was caused by over-logging by the people of Rapa Nui or by invasive rats eating too many plant seeds - and that argument would make a Rare Earth topic.
But one thing that's clear is that deforestation lead to famine and war and a disrupted ecosystem that is less capable of retaining fresh water and less capable of feeding people.
That was the social environment in which Pu o Hiro attained its greatest value - a time of catastrophic ecological change, drought, and dying people longing for the security experienced by their ancestors.
RIP Rich, an amazing self taught pilot. This was his last liked video before everything. May he rest easy.
RaptrZ_ he was truly free
You need to watch "the house that beebo built" it explains everything... rip rich.
Feels weird to just stumble across this fact. The whole story just seems so larger than life at first. It gives you some strange perspective when you see that (aside from the dramatic end) he was just another human going through life, apparently with similar interests to us. I don't know if it's exactly a meaningful revelation, but it's interesting. I hope he found peace, however that may be.
Mind telling me who this Rich guy might be?

*but what does it sound like*
I know right?!
You can hear what it sounds like in this video: th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
awesome thanks!
wait a minute...
ahahahahaha
"When blown the right way it created an inimitable sound."
*DOESN'T DEMONSTRATE THE SOUND* ....
That's completely fucking different. You can measure the size of that and know if it could fit someone else. You can't 'play the sound' of this just by looking at it. It's a fucking rock, it'll be there hundreds of years after I'm dead and it's been there hundreds of years till now. Go ahead and play it.
than217 why are you so stupid?
@Carnage can you explain that in any way? Any valid argument of any kind against what I said? No?
It is an archaeological site, surrounded by a fence. You absolutely should not touch the rock. If I saw a Stradivarius in a museum, my first instinct would not be to cross the barrier and play it, either.
Well yeah get permission for sure first.
"The Useless Rock Worth Dying Over: A concise history of human civilisation"
"Diamonds are a great big scam"
Hiro is remembered in Aotearoa (New Zealand) as Whiro, in Hawai'i as Hilo, in Tahiti as Hiro, In Rarotonga as Iro. He was an ancestor far in our shared past and genealogy, who lived in Te Henua Enata, the land of men , (The Marquesas islands)... he is remembered by some as a deity, and by others as an ancestor. Fascinating to learn that he is also remembered in Rapanui as the bringer of rain.
My country is only known as New Zealand.
@@Manurewa44 you're an idi*t. Go back to Zeeland.
Ya know with modern technology you could probably get a 3D scan of the rock and recreate it. That way you could blow into it without messing with a historical artifact. (Given all the interest from people wanting to hear what it sounds like)
+You could also make moss grow on the replicas...
Voila!: #OcarinaOfSlime.
It's outside... In the rain and wind... Blowing will not damage it...
Using a different material than the rock would probably alternate the sounds too
There is no way it sounds the same as it did hundreds of years ago

I've heard it said that children know the value of everything and the price of nothing. Put a cupcake and a doorknob-sized diamond in front of a 1 year old, and she'll grab the cupcake and squeal with delight. To her, the diamond is worthless.
venomsucks kinda the point of what hes sayinh
Seems that there's a chance that the doorknob-sized diamond might look more interesting to a toddler, even if she doesn't know how to sell it and use the money for cupcakes. Ooh, look! Shiny!
I think the toddler who chose the diamond over the cupcake is the one who grew up to be my ex.
ROGER2095 Try to give your fiancée a cupcake instead of a diamond ring. If she is fine with it, then you have a keeper...a future fat wife, but a keeper nonetheless.
Carlos Oliverira - I like the way you think! I wish you'd have told me sooner. . . .
This is one of my favorite Rare Earth videos ! Thank you so much for making these, your videos are truly unique !
Truly one of the most inspiring videos on TH-cam. Well produced. It questions materialism in the modern world. Well done!!!.
If I ever become leader of a country, I'm making it my mission to steal that damn rock.
I guess that rock ain't going nowhere then.
Callum Allaway North Just to say fuck you?
Fun fact about Diamonds. They are literally not forever, since it is not the most stable form of Carbon. Graphite is thermodynamicly more stable. So in the end all diamonds will change into a very expansive pencil.
That's purely cos graphite has less bonds therefore less energy in bonds I think diamond is more stable as it takes more energy to break all bonds in diamond therefore it is more stable
Edit :
Graphite could be the more stable allotrope due to its delocalised electron therefore stronger attraction between atoms, but that's not due to thermodynamics as u said in ur first comment
seigeengine you don't say
Obviously there will be entropy at the end of the universe
Palindromemordnilap there are 3 currently accepted theories of how the universe ends, but it is te inevitable
25000000000 A.D. : "This is the Koh-i-Noor Pencil. It used to be called the Koh-i-Noor Diamond eons ago & was apparently worth bazillions in today's money. But we have mind-control holo-touchscreens now, so it's practically useless, except to scribble crude drawings of dicks on walls."
I love your videos! The quality,the subjects,and locations are so much better and more consistent than even a Vice documentary. Thank you. Please keep doing your thing,it's important!
That was a great "Lesson Taught" in a very relatable manner.
The sights of Easter Island were gorgeous.
Very Well Done.
Thank You
Ironically, though, by making this video the value of the rock has been increased once more. People who watch this video may go to Easter Island and take a drive by and tell their friends. They, in turn, will spread knowledge of the rock to another. In time, perhaps someone will devote effort to learning how to play it properly again. Perhaps someone will even try to steal it again in the future, or perhaps local authorities will fight over who has rights to it. All this may come about because a Canadian played a guitar in space one time. The cause and effect of life is fascinating sometimes.
roguishpaladin What does Chris Hadfield has to do with this? Seriou question.
Daniel Machado because that video was uploaded to this channel and brought him a lot of viewers I guess
Daniel Machado Chris Hadfield promoted this chanel on his own channel and went along for the first video. I came over because of that promotion, and I'm sure others did as well.
and if someone claims to be healed from some serious desease, it will become a place of pilgrimage.
Daniel Machado because the guy talking in this video is chris's son
I want to hear the inimitable sound.

Rumour has it that they tried... but sadly, they were unable to imit.
where has this series been all my life? you are enchanting, keep up the great work.
Excellent quality writing, this is why I look forward to each new video. Thanks for what you do.
I wrote that once, but I'll do it second time. I'm youtube addict, watching hours of videos a day, but nothing I see is any close to being as good as your videos. I would trade my arm to have your story telling skills.
Then you'd have a story to tell about losing your arm. Win-Win.
Increasing the value of your arm.
I bet if you tried it out and worked at it, you'd get very good at it.
Dosadoodle Problem is, he only has two arms, and after losing both and telling their stories, where would he go next...? 😊
Your arm is of more value to you than anyone else. To us it holds the same value as the rock
That rock looks surprised to be a rock

Now I want to hear the sound that this rock makes.
Can you still make a sound by blowing into it?
That was the #1 thing I was wondering about. I really hope he or someone in his entourage did actually play it. I want to hear it? Perhaps we can ask him to post that as well?
there's a link in the description ;)

Thank you for such informative videos - I think this has been my favourite one yet.
Truly rare earth, google doesn't turn up results about those stories of people who fought over the stone. Continue to tell stories of those of which would of otherwise been forgotten.
Steal the rock for a while get some headlines for it and then have it somehow return. Also did you see those pineapples beautiful
just like the monalisa
Reminds me of the Stone of Scone. It too was stolen and fought over.
I wonder what kind of security setup they have. would they review satellite heat signatures? Set it up on the other side of the island or rotate it 180 degrees see if anyone notices the disturbed earth?
I would for sure pay more money than a diamond to get those pineapples.
+No Problem!

I have to thank you for your insightful and thought provoking videos. I wrote my 25 page end of term paper on Japanese ethno-nationalism because I was so inspired by your video. It's true that people don't often think critically or research about what they hear--but you inspired me to do so. Thank you for that.

I love this series so much.
This series is wonderful. I especially want to praise the writing and research that goes into each video.
I've often thought about this very thing. Great video, thought inspiring!👍😎
I'm no economist, but I'm pretty sure economic scarcity has nothing to do with the absolute numbers of items but rather how imbalanced offer and demand are. Iphones are never scarce (as long as you can always produce more); there's only a last one when nobody wants one any more, like that rock. The attribute of being one the first Iphones produced, however, is scarce.
that's untrue. if there is only one piece land by the beach that have this amazing over reaching view. there is only one beach. that's economic scarcity.
What you're talking about is supply and demand, the main determining feature of value of a product.
+cubid0u
Tl;dr:
(s)he's no economist.
After watching this video, that rock just earned more respect and value from me than any diamond out there.
One of the best Narrations I've ever heard!!! Bravo.
You bring a brilliant insight to the economic value of items! I learned more here than in any college lesson! Thank you!
Diamond ring are useless 🤮
There not even rare
Diamonds are quite useful, try cutting hard rock without them...
They are “rare” in the sense that the De Beer company limits the amount available on the market to drive up prices.
Phlaked Corn try cutting with a Diamond Ring
Diamond tools are great.
But the rings are useless
killercaos123 diamonds can also be grow in labs :/
All your doing is buying a overpriced hard to break rock for your wife wile you can spend that money on a vacation or a nice day out with your wife
And what is the first thing you lose after a break up the ring she sells it or trows the ring away
Because it's useless

This video earned my subscription. Anyone who can give me deep feelings and thoughts deserves it!
Thanks for encouraging the value of thought.
i wanna know what the rock sounds like
Doesn't sound good considering that the knowledge on how to play it has been lost and that the rock itself has suffered from the effects of erosion.
Drop it on your ball's,you'll hear 'your'sound.😄
Oh hi I found you
Supply and demand are the two sides of a price curve. Supply [the relativity scarcity or lack thereof] is important but the demand is equally as important.
But if something that people want a lot(high demand) but it is also very common(high supply) it's price will still be low. This is the so called "diamond water paradox."
You made a fascinating video, more than I expected.
Tanks a lot for introducing us to this kind of particularly interesting information
NOW YOU'RE JUST A ROCK THAT I USED TO KNOW!
You can put lipstick on a pig and it's worth a lot more. Humans are suckers for just about anything, technically a 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang is a piece of crap, but to some people it's priceless.
Is it though? Does its value come from its technology or the fact that no machine on Earth can produce a 1964 Mustang again? Are all collectors suckers? Or do they see value in something other than the obvious?
You would not want to reproduce it again since you would not sell enough to make a profit.
Nebula trajectory You wouldn't profit with a replica, but the original still holds value, even more so than when it was first produced simply because it was produced in a different time, under different circumstances, and the production of the originals has stopped long ago. That old car is not just an old piece of crap, it's a manifestation of a past world and it can never be honestly reproduced again. If you think humans are just suckers for stupid shiny shit, you're completely ignoring the bigger picture. What about the Egyptian pyramids, or the Eiffel tower? You can say that those are inferior pieces of architecture compared to what we have today and technically you'd be right. But that's obviously not the point. What gives them value is their age and their meaning, not their technical specifications.
I was just talking about the economic standpoint of reproducing the car. Also I can understand the value of iconic human creations but that depends on people. I would just sell a 1964 mustang to a collector if I had one simply because I do not value the car as much as someone else would I value other things I could buy with the money made from the car. (using I shows how its only my opinion not everyone else's)
Yeah, I understand. As the guy said in the video, the value is formed by what most people think about that particular item. I was just saying that it's stupid to say that people are suckers just because you don't see the value in something other than its technical specifications. If you treat all things as lifeless commodities, I don't see how would you value human life more, because that way we're just a bunch of atoms just like everything else and you can produce one of us easily.
Very enlightening you have reestablished my concept of value thank you.
I wish I could articulate why I like this channel and why I find it so interesting. Just keep doing what you are doing.
Why didn't you record the sound it makes?
th-cam.com/video/hrrC-1C6vcs/w-d-xo.html someone else on this comment section posted it, but i'll leave this here so you can check it out.
I kinda feel like the fact that it's "two months salary" no matter how much you make should have tipped people off sooner. like, does that not set off other people's bullshit detector?
Does it do any good for the bullshit detector to go off? Guys were still engaged in economic competition for women, as well as both partners being engaged in status competition with other couples.
was that the concept though?
also, it kinda does, because if a couple isn't dropping that kind of cash on rings they have it for other stuff like bills, or actual personally meaningful things or activities. mostly it keeps people from wasting money on an industry that literally causes human suffering in an 1800's style cruelty and inhumane conditions and human treatment way.
Its crazy how expensive they've made weddings and everything that goes with it when you think that the number one reason for divorce is stress over money problems. Probably would have helped make working out the budget easier if you kept all that cash you blew. But that works for them because the person might do another wedding all over again in a few years. I'm never buying a diamond ring and my weddings going to be in a backyard, fuck all this ill buy a house with that money.
Brilliant! Loved this one.
This is a marvelous package. I loved it: ancient rock star!
Note: People lining up to buy the first of new tech *are* buying into scarcity:
The least amount of obsolescence.
The newest stuff is the best, in theory. And with it comes a longer lifespan before your stuff *isn't* the best anymore. And that time, in the technological field, is a *very* scarce resource.
Yes. Again, they want to be cutting-edge. Nothing worse than what they have. Because if someone had something better, then what they had would be obsolete.
It's the drive to be on top. And with tech, that has a limited shelf-life. Which, again, is the scarce resource.
...If it's not the best/fastest, how is it competitive?
Fighting for fourth place doesn't really cut it.
Oh, freaking hell.
This entire video was about how "value" is subjective.
Well, so is "competitive."
Because of that, "obsolete" is *also* subjective; what might be obsolete to me would work perfectly fine even after a few years for someone not as picky.
Example: The NVidia 600 series. For someone who just browses the internet, it'd be just peachy to run. But as I'm a gamer, that card line is obsolete to me.
And for people demanding to be on the bleeding edge of tech, yesterday's gadget is obsolete for *them.* It's no longer able to support the objective of being the tip of the technological spear.
You call me dumb, yet it's you who cannot wrap your head around the concept that maybe, just *maybe* subjective definitions might have a broader interpretation than what you're cramming them in. Jeez.
+Muh Richard
Agreed. Needs some correction with a #LART, methinks.
Welp at least 125,000 people have heard of it now.
I think this might be my favorite episode so far. When you guys talk about politics it's insightful and interesting but, because it has to be, it's limited. Yes the philosophies can be applied anywhere any time but in order to capture an audience you tailor it to the viewers from what I assume are where most of your watchers are from. (and of course what applies more directly to Rare Earth and the team behind it) But this episode really does apply to everyone, it has to due with business/economics, people's lives, our societies and cultural interaction, international relations even! What people value and why is probably the most important question one can ask. Asking what someone values is like asking who they are, and if you can identify and quantify what a society values, you can own it.
How have a I missed such a beautiful little channel? Some times scrolling into the strange videos can really pay off.
Does it still whistle?
I suppose it still has the capacity, but it no longer has the user.
That's what she said
I would check out the sign. I would be interested why there is a random rock surrounded by a wooden fence. I would want to know the reason.
Excellent video and account - really enjoyed it
This is the most interesting video I've watched on TH-cam in years. Very, very well done. It would have been epic to hear the sound the rock makes.
Man, am I just really high or is this super profound?
tell francesco to adjust close up stabilization :(. at 2:10 you can cleary see some strange background wobbling, maybe it's youtube applying this?
Great video, learned something new and interesting today.
What an amazing style! Loved it 👍🏻
Hopefully people will one day realize the value of the rock we all live on.
Holes and all...
;- )
The rock of ages !!
I love the way this channel ties together historical fact with larger concepts.
Honestly, that's fascinating. It's the kind of story I could never think up, and would probably deride if I found it in a book or movie. And yet, here it is in real-life history. It's kind of amazing.
any thing is only worth as much as you are willing to give for it
It bugs me tremendously that the ones who built the enclosure, didn't make sure the rock was in the middle.
Actually the entire thing looks like it's been thrown together without any thought.
cool short doco....i didn't even realise that this rock existed & more importantly the big part it played back in it's day....amazing (:
very well written, thanks for a great video
