Agricoltura, Rethinking Civilization - Crash Course World History 201
agricoltura | info | prezzo | dati | produzione
In which John Green returns to teaching World History! This week, we'll be talking about the idea of civilization, some of the traditional hallmarks of so-called civilization, and why some people would choose to live outside the civilization model. It turns out, not everyone who lives outside of what we traditionally think of as a "civilized" social order is necessarily a barbarian! To defuse any tension you may be feeling, I'll just tell you now, the Mongols are back. You'll learn about Zomia, swidden agriculture, and even a little about anarchy!

I loved the substance of this video but what happened to John's (dare I say signature) rapid fire exposition? I loved the high speed speaking style!

What's the song?
-
In support of the concept, the cuneiform word for "female slave" is a combination of the words for "woman" and "hills."

@CrashCourse Can John somehow fix his goddamn hair?

John Green for President

Probably best Crash Course episode of all time.

Civ has only been getting better tbh, Beyond Earth sucked but Civ 6 is great
-
Could you do one about the Minutemen during the revolutionary war
-
Probably, each system functioned better if they knew the meaning of... "Moderation".
The modern nightmare is only so, because our conjoined civilization lacks the ever so crucial aspect of self-control.
Hill people, are automatically controlled by natural limitations and their small social order.
Our massive societies can become something better, if we started, as a whole, to take things in mind, instead of being blind consumers harvesting our globe until it turns into a wasteland of garbage and decay.

you should talk about the sikh empire
-
wait, did this video just have one source?
-
3:20 Space Marine dreadnought!

I liked the mongols a lot but after watching a couple of videos from CrashCourse History, I freaking love them.

Very nice, but you kinda put all anarchists into the anarcho-primitivst bubble by implying that all anarchists think that the state and civilisation are inherently intertwined. While anarcho-primitivsts do believe this, the vast majority of anarchists who enjoy clean water and electricity believe that the state can be abolished without destroying society, either by creating a communal society of free people (anarch-communism, anarcho-collectivism and other left wing strains of anarchy) or an everyone-for-themselves type society of free people (anarcho-capitalism).

You, sir, are an evil author. are you aware of how DEPRESSING your book, The Fault in Our Stars, is? You are evil when comes to manipulating feels.

I would love a crash course vidoe on the Northern Ireland conflict, the troubles, Bloody Sunday and all that jazz, but there isn't one that I can see.

Ironically I'm playing Fifa while listening to this

Upland southeast Asia? I think we all know where this is going.

You misunderstand anarchism and conflate it with primitivism.
Anarchism is based on opposition to the concentrated violence of the centralized state, including capitalism and religion which are some of its manifestations (market relations and innovation occur even in the absence of centralized power).
But most anarchists like science and technology. Many anarchists are also transhumanists. States are not necessary for science and technology, even though at present states occupy such a large portion of our lives that governments have also taken over science (primarily for military purposes but some positive externalities have thankfully also resulted -- like medical research).
There is always the counterfactual -- how advanced would science and society be if it were not organized legitimized violence? Would we be further along?
