The funny thing is... when Erik the Red named Greenland... he intentionally named this ice filled land incorrectly. He did this because he was the first to settle it and wanted it to sound more appealing. This was to lure more people to come settle there. Too funny.

A video like this is so great because he just touches on a lot of topics, so you can be like "wait! What was that?!" and look it up, and you're like well okay, maybe history is interesting

The beginning basically says time is an illusion. Everything that ever was and will be already exist.

The first words she said was, "Thank You". God bless that woman. School sucked, but I was fortunate to have some pretty cool teachers who knew how to make learning fun. Despite them not making what they are truly worth. That's what I mainly use KZread now for. To finally learn all the shit I never knew, I wanted to learn. This world is getting crazier bc it's getting more and more populated by youngsters who don't or can't think for themselves bc our education system has been abandoned, and forgotten. We need an educated populace of all ethnicities if we are going to survive as a species. Just like my man said at the beginning of this video of wanting to avoid exsposing himself to knowledge like this ON PURPOSE bc he felt it wasn't for him. Public school did that bc teachers don't get paid enough, and they don't have the full support in resources TO make learning fun. Thank you both. Much respect. More reaction videos like these will attract a hell of more views imo. Teaching and Learning can and should be fun.
