As we cross into 2020, I wanted to examine the reasons to be pessimistic about the future and reasons to be optimistic. Last week I covered the negative. But this week, let's go positive.

    I would like to see a review of 1920's technology in 2020.
  • @sanlouci
    Best channel I’ve weirdly discovered this decade.

    Watching part 1 and part 2 has been like watching a dark comedy. Joe: things will get better Narrator: things, in fact, did not get better

    I really like that chair spinning and the music thing.

    Since some people had rough year in 2019 i want to recap what a huge change i made. I went from really unhappy in 2018 to not having a single bad day, not even more than half an hour in 2019. I stopped reading the news, started working out and especially i was nice to everyone. In the beginning it was hard to stay positive all the time, but once you master it every person around me was friendlier and i became happy. I sounds cheesy, but seed love in the world and you will harvest even more love. Peace my friend :)

    As an Aussie can I just say how much I miss Steve Irwin... when he first started out I thought he was just playing the Aussie card a bit too hard but then I saw him moved to tears over an orphaned baby elephant in Sri Lanka and I realised the guy was the real deal. That’s who he actually was. Just a genuine, decent bloke. We should all take a page from the book of Irwin. And for that matter, from the book of Joe! Thanks for the great content mate! Love your work...

    Bob Ross: Love yourself Steve Irwin: Love the planet Mr Rogers: Love each other

    Truthfully glad I stumbled upon this channel when I did. Your mentality about society and ability to present topics in a largely unbiased and scientific way while promoting positivity and love is stellar. Mad respect, and keep it up
