Hi, I'm a biologist who always felt we should follow the patterns in nature to achieve success. Thanks for creating this video, it materialize years of my thoughts in just a few minutes. It's incredibly classy and well made. You're future looks brilliant, keep doing things like this!
I am a synthetic biologist working to develop sustainable technologies using life as the medium. Biomimicry was hugely influential on my personal development as a scientist and designer. This channel is amazing - every video is so well made, well researched, and thoughtful. Keep up the amazing work, the most critical thing right now is a public more educated on these kinds of things!
Have you heard or seen of any promising examples of Biomimicry? If so, what are they? What makes them compelling? (Also if you have any future video ideas, I would love to hear those as well!)
one of my conference paper topic "A Biomimetic Approach to Create Multi-Functional Training and Performance Arena for Athletes in Social Cohesion" inspired from Sunderbans the largest mangrove forest
This channel is seriously going places man. I am currently working on a video that talks about the Biomimicry of cells, i'll shoot it your way once its done. Keep up the great work man
I found your channel two weeks ago and now I'm in love with your videos. Inspiring relaxing and well made. You put my attention on environmental problems that I never thought of and that's a fantastic thing. Hope to see you with 7 digits on the follower count to inspire more people. Thank you.
here after learning about Murray bookchin and social ecology. I think biomimicry is a fascinating concept that should be closely considered as we try to tackle climate change
Two years later, studying anatomy. I am reminded of this video. It gave me my first look into the structure of biology and how the form usually indicates its function.
I know this video is multiple years old by now, but it is really good. Some of what you said reminds me of Murray Bookchin's writing in his essay "Ecology and Revolutionary Thought" which I'd highly recommend. Just as liberatory movements of the past were influenced by the scientific thought and advancements of their day (the era of the French Revolution being influenced by advances in mechanics and mathematics, Marx being influenced by advances in evolutionary and biological science), so too should our movements take influence from ecology as Adrienne Marie Brown points out. It also ended up being a chapter in his book Post-Scarcity Anarchism, which has some pretty mind blowing insights in it that are still relevant for revolutionary movements of today. Can't recommend it enough for people of every tendency.
I'm DYING to learn this discipline but I'm just 16 and not in a not very developed country so it has been close to impossible to learn, but I'll do it somehow. I literally won't stop browsing and learning until I know how to contribute and help make an impact.
I been binge watching this channel and I'm at a point where I wanna start a good eco company or jus sell my house or get more people here. Now i wanna plant so many trees.
"Mother nature" doesn't have a mind - this is the work of God, and God alone, yet people will associate partners with Him by attributing his creative power and knowledge to other than Him.
You see the overwhelming complexity of nature you recognize that at the smallest level it all has to be brought into existence at the same time a cell must have all its parts at the same moment to become a cell which is more complex than a city during rush hour. And you still refuse to see it had to be created there is a designer behind everything. Massive amounts of digital coding for just a single cell.
You're seeing the current product while ignoring hundreds of millions of years of development. I'd suggest you look into "RNA world". It is really amazing to see how these complex selfreplicating molecules arise how they are able to evolve, even without DNA.
Nature, by definition, is a computationally complex entity that exhibits "intelligent" behavior. A meta process orders of magnitude greater than our microcosmic human brains. Our tiny primate brains just don't have the computational capacity for humans to fully understand Nature in its entirety. There is so much to learn from Biological Nature that I feel our species all too often under-appreciates and disrespects. That is, I think humans are only capable of "local" improvements. But we don't even do that.
What I can't fathom is how people see the complexity in nature and think something else had to make it like that. Nature is intelligent all by itself because it did it's homework for billions of years.
@@ChrisN3992 it's simple to fathom becoz it's intuitive to assume that it is created by an intellect than to say it evolved over billions of years. This is how human beings function and how we deal with day to day transactions. Even when people visit caves and see drawings they ascribe intelligence to their origin not blind random environment processes . Becoz everyone knows that's the foremost intuition.
I hope to see the world being built by the using natural processes with adaptive natural elements. Buildings being built with 100% natural materials that reacts on its environment. By studying nature and its processes we should be able to create a 100% durable world I reckon.
Just saying, my fellow nature-fans: Food-Waste was amazingly covered by Second Thought in his video named 'Is Cpaitalism Actually Efficient??'. We can all do Something aainst this; some things probably come to mind; but i wanna add: Even outside of Rallys, important people often do answer Questions from 'normal Dudes', so isnt that an Opportunity for Much?!
Simply "mimicing" nature can be misinterpretet. The ant example is quite a unique one. You could also "mimic" the patriotic structures of deers or go even further to social darwinism (survival of the fittest) which was deeply embedded in the nazi ideology. I actually dont see the principle of biomimicry much different when talking about human culture although it´s obviously more fitting to our modern society. I dont know just an interesting thought
You are the best content creator on the internet, why don't you inspect the WebGL a bit, the WebGL would be ideal to explain the physics or engineering or biology of renewable energy, from a simple web page you can create interactive 3D environments similar to video games without need for consoles, with zero cost of logistics, this can be used to understand how renewable energy engineering works, I love the criticism of corporations that pollute and are guilty of global warming but what I don't like about Greenpeace at least In Argentina they stop only at criticism, I think that if you criticize you have to give another better option, a sustainable option so that the industry can lift people out of poverty around the world and make it totally sustainable.
In the NASA timelapse, I noticed that all the bad stuff happening in Northern hemisphere - almost no red, orange or even yellow down south. Some explanation: theconversation.com/southern-hemisphere-joins-north-in-breaching-carbon-dioxide-milestone-59260
Nothing substantial. Just another wordplay. Ants are just metaphors, not models for social resilience. Because to be a scientific model, it has to offer testable quantitative prediction. Not just superficial similarity. Also, fractals are not by definition self-similar, only a small subset of them are. By asserting that something has to work at small scale to be viable at larger scale to be a general truth, they have completely ignored the very concept of emergent properties for various levels of organization. This is a logical fallacy called reductionism. I could list a lot more inconsistencies from this video but I have better things to do.
You probably do have more urgent things to do than generate thoughtful TH-cam video responses, but there is real danger in underestimating the threat this kind of simplistic thinking poses. Surely you’re aware of how pervasive it has become in society and how it’s influencing many well-meaning, ignorant people -particularly young people. I hope you’re finding productive ways to fight against this kind of reductionism -outside of TH-cam commentary.
Wow, this thing jumped from one expert weirdness to another - but let me point out one serious mistake in the video. @0:58 you show trees that capture carbon and say "...in order to prevent a changing climate". But that is not true, is it - not for the trees shows that is. These are coniferous trees with albedo-induced warming effects that probably more than offset their cooling influences... since also the tree-covered ground around them is white snow (that reflects light out of the atmosphere and prevents it from getting trapped inside).
I came to this after your solarpunk video collab with St Andrewism, and I have to say, this is so inspiring for me! I really do agree that we are humbled by the natural world, and we should look to it for not just practical solutions, but a way to reintegrate ourselves into it. We belong to the world, not the other way around.
The education around bio inspired design or sustainable design is so vague. I feel like its just words. There's very less executable knowledge out there and it is frustration for aspiring designers who wants to do things differently.
What and how does this work for me as a Christian in serious relationship with the 1 n 3 & 3 n 1 United & abiding 3 separated person of the Triune Godhead (1. Abba Father; 2. Jesus Christ of Nazareth Son of Abba Father; 3. Holy Ghost a spiritual comforter of our very souls of Abba Father)
i call bs on fractals in nature. they're just practical spacing arrangements that accomodate growth. they are not fractal in any real sense (properties) of being fractal. they merely very superficially appear fractal like at very limited scale, but in reality look nothing like actual fractal geometry. on the other point. it's easy to extrapolate erroneously that particular biomimicry patterns are some wonderful thing that can be applied to human problems. i'd hate to live in an ant or bee nest, with a close to zero ability for social mobility or progress of any kind. even then, there's no guarantee that the evolutionary arrangement will win forever. some common sense and less idolatry is much needed.

This channel must grow larger. The videos are almost equivalent to professional documentaries.
We used biomimicry as a design brief in my college. Watching this was super interesting. :)
I have no idea why your channel is not hitting big bro. Your content is top notch.

I never though before about biomimicry in relationships and social movements, but it makes so much sense
This is a fascinating correlation I would very much like to view an analysis of.
this channel is amazing! I learned so much!!

The family and democracy one really hit at home. Wow.
I don't really get why you only get 190K subs. You deserve much more since you provide so much valuable and surprising information.
nature is now and the future. love your channel and your subject. started using ecosia after your video.
We need more of this!!
youve just boiled down the ecological perspectives class i’m currently taking in design
Extremely well made. Thank you
When I see a Nest I see a basket. When I see a walnut, I see a brain, I call Biomimicry " Sensei Gaia" Teacher Gaia

Such a cool channel, why didn't I find this earlier?! Great topics and production value, subscribed.
Your videos are more than just good design. (Except the design is absolutely breathtaking.)
Great information 👍🏾, very underrated channel and a very well made video.
an astonishing video ... we need to keep learning from Mother Nature !!
"Mother nature" doesn't have a mind - this is the work of God, and God alone, yet people will associate partners with Him by attributing his creative power and knowledge to other than Him.
This video is so good. Thank you for introducing me to Adrienne Maree Brown…
Yes said it! Biomimicry is more than just good design!
OMG, This was so Lucid! Amazing Work!!!
This is an amazing channel!!
You make the best videos
this is the best channel, am glad i have fount it
Thx for this great vid. Really good Chanel. Will follow u and are happy to see u grow.
Absolutely stellar video!
Holy crap, how do you make such engaging videos? Any tips or tricks for people who want to learn how to make such powerful animations and message?
Ur video is so professionally made!! May i know which video editing app or platform u use?
Thank u very much all
Such a well made video!
Great video thank you.

Can you do a video on aldi?!
I highly recommend reading about queer ecology (Timorhy Morton and others), as a way to rethink our connection to nature and each other
Love your videos omg
Not to ridicule you or anything, I love the channel, but I just find it funny how different the success of eusociality is in insects vs mammals
This video really helped me with my project
Thanks. What a great subject. I always wanted to know more about this concept. It seems like a difficult subject to research though.
Thank you for the amazing video, very impressive images ! Could u make more videos on how nature inspired us in engineering and life? Thanks
Can you please do "Is the clothing brand Asphalte Green?"
Good leason our knowledge
I love how people can look at nature like this & yet can't even fathom the idea of intelligent design & creation

Hey what software do you use to put your videos together?
Biomimicry will be the answer to everything

Does an omegaverse count as biomimicry?

We have choices to make. Right now the choice is made unconsciously, by denial and greed, towards an obvious collapse, perhaps extinction.
Yes
