How to rebuild the world from scratch | Lewis Dartnell 

"We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." Sagan

This guy watched the first season Dr. stone and said: "Man!, I gotta make a TED talk out of this!."

Cool, bought his book, amazing read and information! =)

One of the things Lewis does not mention as essential for the rebooting of civilization are teachers. I am a Clinical Laboratory Scientist, I find it difficult to give my knowlege to others, even when it is desperately needed. Teachers can take the "black boxes" of things like medicine, electronics, mathmatics, authority, ecconomics, libraries and agriculture, and make them accessible, understandable and indeed desirable and necessary. Being able to read, and wanting to read is essential.

This guy did his research.

One way to help rebuild civilization is construct a Knowledge Ark. Stock it with not just how-to books, but also great literature, drama and poetry. Gather great music in various genres, and DVDs of classic movies and TV shows.

We’re so safe in our modern society, that we want the hard dangerous kind

I had this exact conversation with someone and they asked after an apocalypse they would be thousands of cars but no gasoline I said lucky for you I can distill gasoline from crude oil with just a 55-gallon drum and a copper coil

Priority #1. Raid the libraries for usefull books. Priority #2. Fuel. Get the generators back on line, get the vehicles moving again.

Consumption, Energy, and Knowledge.

So, COVID-19, hu? How are we preparing for 2022?

I just ordered the book. This has been quite interesting, esp. the part on how to make glass & grind lenses to improve vision. It would devastate me to be unable to read.

oh my god it was my dream to do this I'm so glad I found you before I did this is so cool

Find the amish survivors treat them like kings, extract knowledge, meanwhile Recreate the best weapons of offense and defense for self and your own army. Take over earth. And watch as history repeats itself again and again.

I’ve always wanted to know how to make the materials like plastic, rubber, etc. we use to craft our modern day devices. It’s sad that not enough engineering jobs really teach them HOW to make the materials they use when building but instead how to put them together

😂 Dr.stone

Schools should be taught self sustainability, if a zombie apocalypse should (he words not mine) on national geographical for kids), even CDC zombie preparedness.

The iPencil video is amazing! Great lecture!

GOD I HOPE SO, I DON'T GRIEVE AT FUNERALS, NEVER HAVE...HOWEVER, I ENVY DEATH AND DYING TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE THIS LOUSY EARTH!!!

ENCREDIBLE

There's a single episode of Apocalypse 101 on Curiosity Stream. Where can I find more episodes?

I literally search this and... found it

Interesting how much of that artwork came from The Last of Us.

Interesting.

The lady at the end sounded so disinterested lol

"a part of you.. you lot in the back, you die."

Infomercial?

What about soap and antiseptics?

One of the few good things that came from globalism, is the standardization of technology across the world. So even if the planet is plunged into global anarchy and strife, there is very likely will be a few peaceful beacons where our modern knowledge will remain and develop, awaiting its moment to lit up the darkened planet

Well, first you have to make a town center

So much effort from 11:30 onwards to film anything but the ash in his hair hahahaha

With a couple cases of Redbull... 2 weeks to rebuild civilization.

Small amount of comments

You should read history befre u talk..I stopped when u talk about roman wheel.. What do u think they did before that?

He is just explaining minecraft

Doomsday is upon us right now. Buckle up.

Great content, boring presentation style. The way he talks is just so repetitive.

How To Make a Pencil: Take wood, pyrolyze into charcoal. Take charcoal, fire it in kiln at above 900'C to carburize into crude graphite. Take crude graphite, crush and mix with wetted clay. Form graphite/clay into pencil lead. Allow to dry, and then fire it in kiln again to harden the lead. Take a straight branch, split along grain. Cut recess sized for lead. Put lead into recess, and glue the two halves of the branch together again. Carve or turn the branch body into final dimensions. You now have a pencil (without the eraser).
