One day it’ll be appreciated how many scientists were inspired by Kurzgesagt. I honestly believe it will make a material difference on space exploration and medical innovation over the next 50 years. I know this b/c I consider myself one of those motivated. Creating quality education on YouTube is a powerful way to have a positive impact.

Many of us have been conditioned to think that more humans = more problems. I appreciate the optimistic perspective presented in this video. More humans also means more progress. The first step to a brighter future is envisioning it.

“We went from humans worshipping the moon, to humans walking on it”. This is such a beautiful phrase.

“We went from worshipping the moon to walking on it”<br><br>This is one of the most inspiring thing I’ve ever heard ever. It shows how much humans have conquered. God bless you, guys.

I don't believe the Kurzgesagt team really understand how much their fantastic creations can fuel in us the optimism and show a silver lining we so desperately need. Thank you a thousand times for your dedication and hard work. I feel nothing but humility when watching their content, and love for this channel.

This video should be mandatory for different world leaders. Too many of them act like we're living in the last centuries, and they are the most important players in the remaining time :")

As someone who grew up being taught -- literally every single day, no exaggeration -- that I was living in the "last days", I can't tell you how much I needed to hear this. To not be at the end, but the beginning... that is such an incredible feeling.

I love watching Kurzgesagt videos because they're always a roulette between "renewed hope for the future" and "existential crisis" lmao

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEENEFaVUzU&t=16">0:16</a> "Every generation assumes they are important enough to witness the apocalypse" this sentence alone completely changed my prospective on this subject. Such a beautiful quote.<br>EDIT: Over 1k likes?! Thanks guys!<br>EDIT²: I must say that another thought crossed my mind while seeing the replies of this comment: we're possibly the only civilization that has solid proof of the apocalypse.
