Carl Sagan Predicted The Mess 2021 Would Be 25 years Ago
Good video. Carl Sagan also liked to smoke marijuana.
Star Wars starts out like a fairy tale, "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...". It should not be taken literally.

You may have seen this before. The first 2m15s show Carl Sagan criticizing Star Wars for it's white-centric view of space in the future. He explained, although there are many non-white (alien) creatures in Star Wars, the white skinned people rule the universe. He also jokes that the Wookiee received no medal in the end even though he contributed in the fighting, etc.At 2:15m a quote from his last book (1995) is shown. It hits the nail on the head. He describes what will happen in America 25 years before it happened.

How Does Film ACTUALLY Work? (It's MAGIC)
For most people, film is obsolete. I remember having a camera as a kid and there was something magical about cameras before technology came along.
As best as I can recall, I didn't really bother with cameras from my college days onward. It wasn't till sometime in my early 40's I got the most primitive digital camera possible, that only took 640x480 pictures, which matched some early computer monitor resolutions. I actually had fun with this camera despite the pretty low quality. Eventually, mobile phones could take pictures even before smartphones.
In 2008, I got an iPhone 3G which had a 2 megapixel camera.
In 2010, I got an iPhone 4 which had a 5-megapixel camera.
In 2012, I got an iPhone 5, which had an 8-megapixel camera. I still own this phone. The metal bands around the edge of this phone made it pretty tough, which allowed it to survive a pretty big accidental drop onto the pavement. This will be relevant below...
In 2014, I got an iPhone 6+ which also has an 8-megapixel camera. When I tried to participate in an Apple battery replacement program, something went wrong with the phone, so they gave me a free replacement which I still have.
Years later I got an iPhone 6S+ on a Black Friday sale. It has a 12-megapixel camera. Because the wi-fi died on in, I bought another one of these on another Black Friday to replace it, which is still my primary phone.
Today I dropped my iPhone 6s+ and the screen cracked, but I managed to get it repaired the same day for $89.

It turns out that the accident was caused by a conversion to the metric system...

A History of Ice Cream | A Recipe from 1789
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR7fywQ-vUE
I liked watching the history of ice cream. I have heard that two thousand years ago Greeks were pouring fruit juice over crushed ice and selling it in the marketplace. They invented the snow cone.

Why do Hurricane lanterns look like that?
I'm curious about most things. If I see something I don't understand, then I want to learn about it.
I like this video, but not sure if anybody else will.

We Are In A "FOURTH TURNING," What Does That Mean?
I don't put total faith into this, because I don't think that societies follow a rigid schedule in their development. However, it is pretty interesting...
I don't think that we are in the upheaval that will lead to the next boom. I think that we are in the upheaval that could potentially lead to the complete collapse of society. The worldwide events that we have seen over the last year could lead to the collapse of governments.

He Really Took a Fish For a Walk
Although I recommend the whole video, how exactly does one get this shot?
Maybe a drone is programmed to follow a specific person.
