Quite an interesting doco to see how culture can be cancerous for silly reasons. Stuff to learn from it.

Really nice documentary about a scientist who made our understanding of tornadoes a lot better. I love to know about such stories of humans who are curious about how our world works.

Really good documentary! I still think chronically playing video games is bad, but for some people can be a way to cope with problems and/or make friends, have a life...

Really interesting documentary and how we should stop projecting silly ideas about these things, and let science and scientists do their job. Science is the only way we can figure shit out ;)

Interesting documentary about how we can make our society a bit better. Things to learn from these Nordic countries, but also a bit of an expose of how even these tribes rely on the fossil fuel industry and so forth...

Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…
This is the perfect example of why in this trade-based society things get fucked. Because people are focused on trading, making a profit. And these idiots did just that. Cut corners, then cut their lives short and of those who paid for their scam.
Tragic. But a very important example of how #TradeRuinsEverything

Hunt for the Oldest DNA
Favoritevideos.trom.tf/videos/embed/mh…
YEAR: 2024 | LENGTH: 1 part (59 minutes) | SOURCE: BBC
description:
For decades, scientists have tried to unlock the secrets of ancient DNA. But life’s genetic blueprint is incredibly fragile, and researchers have struggled to find genetic material in fossils that has survived for millions of years. Then, one maverick scientist had the controversial idea of looking for DNA not in fossils or frozen ancient tissue – but in the soil.
This film follows the scientists deciphering the oldest DNA ever found and revealing for the first time the genes of long-extinct creatures that once thrived in warm, lush Arctic landscapes.

in reply to Tio • • •maybe this documentary is amazing like you say, maybe I would like after watching it. But if I judge the usefulness of it, watching it for 6 hours, I think, nah...
Did you learn much new?
But I guess it is just love for documentaries alone.
Tio
in reply to Mindaugas • •I have seen a LOT of documentaries, and definitely many about the history of our species. But even so this one had new stuff in it I never heard of before. As someone who is very familiar with this subject, this documentary thought me new things that blew my mind. For sure worth it.
Even the way it is made is really pleasant to watch.
Mindaugas
in reply to Tio • • •Ok, I had to watch after encouragement. Ended up watching half of documentary at double (sometimes triple) the speed. Expectation matched reality: documentary is slow & holds little information.
I used to watch science documentaries when I was a teenager decades ago, when everything was fresh new and my english was poor (but still topics were complex like physics). So it was very engaging for a duration of a few months back then, but now, I see most science documentaries as slow with little content & use.
Better example of useful video is this I recently discovered: youtube.com/watch?v=R7FAAfK78_… about climate change science explained in 25 minutes, about important topic for everyone to know. His few videos are fantastic overall.

in reply to Mindaugas • •I think maybe you got too used with short content?
The documentary reveals new information that is quite recent about the history of homo sapiens and it is very well made. Of course if you already know this info maybe you won't find it that interesting, but as someone who watches tons of documentaries, this one is particularly well made.
To watch it on double or triple the speed is, to me, the best way to ruin any such documentary. Information is not only about the content, but the delivery too: music, phase, scenery, storytelling, etc..
Mindaugas
in reply to Tio • • •we could look through different angles, for example, I can argue that short content is better. Long content is slow most often and likely with little new info (per minute 🙂). And short content, one can choose to watch more densily packed and least known information. Result is learning more in shorter period of time. I find each of us know very little and there is endless things to learn we don't know about. So why watch 5 hour documentary, over 10 minutes of densily packed material about all sorts of things we should know about, but we don't. For example, most people don't know about open source world, on the other hand, there seems to be no introduction videos about it either 🤔 With small exceptions like videos.elenarossini.com/w/64Vu…

in reply to Mindaugas • •I agree if you want just facts go read Wikipedia. I also like condensed info so I get to know quicker. However such documentaries are far more than about facts. Are about putting your head and brain through a journey of facts via visual, music, etc.. Like watching a movie, you don't just want to know if X and Y ended up together or who the criminal was.
Therefore documentaries are more than facts, are a way to learn about the world through the experience of visuals and sound. May be a great way to make you also remember those facts.
Also, some things cannot be understood by a few words, you need to "convince" or educate people.
I made 2 documentaries myself. Last one is 5 hours long. Want to know the gist of it? Trade is the origin of most problems. That's all. Short and to the point.
But what do you really understand by that? The reason I explained the same thing in 5 hours and carefully selected footage and music to add with the interviews, is to make people understand that short sentence. It is complex and you need more examples to see what trade is and

Same with the above documentary. Sure they can tell us in 5 minutes all of the facts but I would miss on how they showcased how ancient people made their tools, where they lived, even the scientists studying them. You miss a lot.

in reply to Tio • • •here is another example of what seems to be very accessible & densily packed introduction of important information youtube.com/watch?v=UWh1MIMQd1… but close to nobody choose to watch it 🤷🏻 on the other hand.
Based on your answers, my initial prediction seems to be correct: "if I judge the usefulness of it [...] I guess it is just love for documentaries alone."
In other words, it is about happiness hormones or whatever it is called. And we could say, its the same for other alternative activities, like watching densely packed videos instead. So basically neither is better, and it is subjective choice of what works best for us individually.
I already watched your second documentary. Usually I would almost never watch such long things, but as I was impressed by all your work, I choose to watch it and it was very worth it. It is different from Human documentary, because it contained way more fresh ideas. I still don't agree (maybe not YET), but I

in reply to Mindaugas • •Is not just the love of documentaries, whatever that means. I explicitly explained how information gets understood and retained better or worse depending on how it is transmitted. Watching that documentary may make you not only remember the facts, but understand this immense story of humans, and also how scientists do their work, what motivates them, etc..
I appreciate your positive words about TROM II. I am happy you found that interesting enough to watch it all.
