I'm always a little frustrated with this channel because it's like, okay, you've managed to fire clay bricks, and smelt iron into a knife, and tap into mechanical power... now please just loving build an industrial society already

except all he ever does is more and more videos of charcoal making and smelting iron prills. There's a next step to that!!!

maybe he just doesn't like the consequences

I enjoy how there's literally no explanation of what's going on or what he's doing or what why

if you watch enough of the videos you start to recognize patterns in the process and what certain functions do.

I'm always pleased when i can figure out what the gently caress he's trying to accomplish before he gets to the end of a step. like sometimes he'll be curing a kiln and you can predict that he'll salvage some ore from the cavity after the fire is done.

I think the years-long trajectory/objective of that channel has been basically "trying to come up with a reasonable iron-smelting process using stone age technology". And so far, while he's made progress, he really isn't there.

I think it's an interesting goal for a few reasons. For one, just about every technological culture developed iron metallurgy well after copper (and maybe bronze if tin was available). Despite iron's abundance and advantages, smelting it is more difficult, but once societies do develop iron technology, it pretty much invariably becomes dominant. There's no fundamental reason why a culture couldn't shortcut straight to iron metallurgy, and it's an interesting question to wonder how that would have worked and what the consequences might have been.

Secondly, there are a few examples of cultures who developed iron metallurgy relatively early, and some without ever having had a real bronze age. In parts of west africa, this technology seems to have been developed independently and perhaps earlier than the rest of the world, but owing to the difficulties of iron smelting and other socio-technological factors, it never developed into the large-scale production associated with the iron age. What if it had? How close were they? What improvements could have been made using the technology and energy sources of the time? Imo these are really cool questions and taking the time to "develop" this kind of ancient technology is very interesting.

The thing that gets me is that it says "company", no coach would call his team a company so that means I'm the insane business owner who posted it to Facebook for coach to steal.

V-- It being military explains a lot.

The first time I saw that, years and years ago, it was apparently given out to someone in the military, which also makes the word "company" make sense.
