Same here. The trick is to start it 10/15 minutes later each time. I’ve probably listened to this all the way through more than a dozen times now and I never grow tired of it.
@@JoshHuckabee1exactly how I do it bill just go back to where I was mostly still awake and play it over. I do docs or cartoon every night before bed but cartoons like paradise pd,brickleberry, F is for family, Futurama, Crossing Swords
Benjamin Franklin was the man who whenever he spoke you kept quiet and listened. He really was that important as a scientist, poet, speaker, founding father, diplomat, ambassador, etc. Along with Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin was really important. Without him and the founding fathers this country especially this constitution is not made.
hello fellow struggler. In this dark and unfair world, i just thought i'd let you know that God loves you and to never stop loving yourself and pursuing happiness
52:45 I'm watching this as a thunderstorm passes through my neighborhood. There was a lightning strike outside my house and I wondered if it was lighting from the storm or from this video.
The negative comments are hilarious! They have nothing to do with Benjamin Franklin really and everything to do with the sad lives of the commentators. 😂 As for the documentary itself it only seems dated because it dwells on Franklin's accomplishments, his work ethic, and the range of his intellectual abilities. He was a polymath at a time when the sum of human knowledge was smaller and an individual gifted person could make substantial advances in multiple fields. But most of us lead placeholder lives - hence the desire to trash remarkable people.
Sorry Sir, it's 2023 and it's a Nightmare of a world, run by worse than blood thirsty and power ravenous wolves but Demons and monsters. i am also glad you can't see your beloved America now it's nothing like the country you fought to create anymore,
15:01 "he studies in private" at lunch; self education from geometry to winning arguments using the socratic method.. 16:01 he develops his own writing style by disassembling books and putting them back in his own form. 25:30 makes a plan 28:45 do you know any rich ppl? Do you know how they got rich? Do you know if and how their business failed?? 54:45 speaks of the day of judgement 1:18:30 "Let's be frugal. Our own laziness taxes us more than kings and parliaments"
And they told us lightning came down a kite string that he tied a key to, and we fell for that. Wow we are so sad, sad sad people we really believe some serious BS.😂😂😂😂😂😂
At the mark of 1:59:34 , is that accent a put-on / joke? That can't be real, can it? The name of Jonathan DULL? And that head of hair? They had to be slipping this representation in as a lark on the viewers, right?
I'm I only one who watched 30 minutes of this and had to turn it off. Just constant fawning over the guy. He was so clever, popular, diligent, amazing, perfect.... 🤢🤮. That stuff is so boring. I want to hear about his flaws and vices because I'm sure he had some (like the rest of us) and that's way more interesting.
I did not like this documentary. The actor that played Ben Franklin was just awful, and despite it's length, a lot of important historical information was left out. I watched this last night, and tonight watched another documentary that was far better - "The Amazing Life of Benjamin Franklin- American Genius-Full." This was half the length and covered much more. The narrarators were better too. Some of the narrators of the PBS version had some liberal biases that detracted from the program.
He took advantage of women non-stop correct? Would sleep with friend's partners and all kinds of wild stuff.. Also didn't he see another man doing something similar with a Kite and just paid him for the idea?
@@kevip1324 Franklin's like the ONLY one who stands the test of time .he was the first liberal and he was the only forefather openly against slavery and never owned them
And they told us lightning came down a kite string that he tied a key to, and we fell for that. Wow we are so sad, sad sad people we really believe some serious BS.😂😂😂😂😂😂
