12 Great Videos of 2024 You Have to Watch Right Now

I hope you’re feeling curious today like I always do. Hello and be welcome to my new post, the third of this year. I haven’t posted a collection of videos in months, but you don’t have to wait any longer. Here are 12 new ones about different subjects for you to quench your thirst of visuals and learn something new at the same time.

Learning may come from a wide variety of sources and videos can be one of the best. And being the curious man I am, I’m always on the hunt for the new fact, anecdote, or simply entertainment that can lead you to increase your knowledge and satiate that curiosity vein the world is so eager to crush from you.

On this post you will find a collection of real superhuman guys; the training sessions of certain YouTuber, inspired buy a great Japanese author; a sort of explanation about why people have stopped reading; a magnificent and futuristic building in Las Vegas; the playlist of the modern divorced dad; the history and lore of a virtual music band, and many more. The number one video is a long one, but it’s really worthy of your time.

So, without further ado, let’s start watching:

SIDEWALK (an instructional film)

It’s always kind of annoying when you’re just going about in the streets, minding your own business, and then someone comes in your direction. What do you do next? Which side do you pick? Or maybe should you just stop and wait to see what the other person will do? In this cool video, with a sort of 1950s vibe, you will learn what to do next when someone comes in front of you. After this your walks will be a pleasant experience. And please, don’t check your phone while walking, don’t become a smart phone zombie; on the contrary, put that phone away, be aware of your surroundings, and enjoy one of the best activities for your health.

Why Japan's Homeless are Nothing Like Your Country

Housing has become a major problem around the world, even to the point of affecting industrialized countries like the Asian giant Japan. There’s a lot more homeless people in Japan than the government actually wants to admit to. You may wonder, how do the homeless in Japan live? What do they do all day? How they manage to survive? This video will show the side of a country they don’t want you to see. Follow a homeless man and his fight against mosquitos living in a rich country that doesn’t want to be reminded about people like him.

Why It's Impossible To Beat This Shaolin Master...

This one will blow you away. In this video you will find the tallest bodybuilder in the world, a strong guy pulling a whole passenger plane, one of the best firearms instructors of the world, a magnificent archer who can hit his target even with his eyes closed, and a modern day ninja among many others. But the last one is the best, a shaolin warrior that nothing and no one can hurt, seriously watch it till the end. And if you combine them all, they can beat all of those stupid so called “superheroes” of the MCU. This video will show you of what men can achieve if they put their best efforts in pursuing a goal.

Training like Mishima for 7 Days

I assume you know who PewDiePie is, right? With more the 110 million subscribers, his channel is one of the most visited on YouTube. His real name is Felix Kjellberg, has lived in Japan since 2022, and is a fan of the great Yukio Mishima. Here, he explains his exercise routine inspired by the Japanese author and also gives very interesting insights about mindset and philosophy. All of us are made of body, mind and soul, and is a duty everyone has with themselves to train those three parts.

What's inside of the Sphere? (Las Vegas)

A building in the form of a sphere that is redefining entertainment as we know it. The first time I heard about this was when the great band U2 announced a residency in Las Vegas in 2023. With a cost of $2.3 billion and 5 years to build, The Sphere is the most expensive entertainment venue in Las Vegas history. Learn here how it was built, what’s inside, all the levels, the technology involved, and marvel at this amazing feat of engineering.

Countries That Are RUINED by Immigrants

Since Angela Merkel opened the EU borders in 2015, the migrant crisis has wreaked havoc in many countries. Others have also been affected by this push for “Inclusion” and “Diversity”. A selected and controlled immigration can beneficiate a country to a certain level; unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case for many countries, and now even regions like Latin America face their own migration issues. Rising crime rates, sexual assaults, increased demand for welfare and education, along with property prices and rents that have skyrocketed are some of the problems immigration has brought to numerous countries. Moreover, some of these countries also face the issue of having their identity eroded. The number one country on this video has even had its own flag burned in public by Middle Eastern people while the authorities have done nothing about it. After watching this video you will have another perspective of immigration. It’s a problem that must be dealt with before it’s too late.

Why everyone stopped reading.

Over the years I have face criticism for my habit of reading; yet, I’m not planning to stop reading and neither should you. One of the best activities for the brain and a good way to increase your intelligence and exercise your memory, reading is also a great way to improve your health and its healing power has even been documented. Nevertheless, it’s something that is sort of demonized; some stupid people consider it tiresome and not cool. Even very intelligent people now seem to have trouble with just sitting down and opening some pages of a random book. What has happened? Learn about this here, and don’t ever skip time to read during your day, even if it’s just for one hour before sleep.

He Draws Entire Cities from Memory

Using just the incredible power of his memory, an autistic man defies all kinds of odds to deliver amazing works of art. Nicknamed The Human Camera, this guy not only possesses an incredible memory but he’s also very aware of every detail that he paints. On a big seized canvas, he reproduces with acute perfection every street and landmark of a city he has just barely seen. You’ll be amazed by his talent. While he can remember an entire city, most people out there can’t even remember what they had for lunch yesterday.

Flying Through London’s Tower Bridge (World First)

I can’t remember how I found out about this one. Men are notorious for chasing the impossible and challenge boundaries of what can be done. Here, the Red Bull team will attempt to fly through London’s Tower Bridge for the first time, and the thing it’s just insane. Be prepared to have your mind blown with images captured by go pro cameras. I don’t like that Red Bull drink, but boy if they know how to put on a great show.

GORILLAZ – the INSANE Story of the NON-EXISTENT Group

It was in 2001 when I first discovered this virtual non-existent band. I kind of lost track of “them” after the 2010s, but now have reconnected with “them” a little bit. After a decade of success, Blur’s front man Damon Albarn teamed with artist Jamie Hewlett to create this cool virtual band. Learn about the lore of this “band” on this video, the process of its creation, and what they’re been up to for all these years. By the way, do you know the names of all the four members of Gorillaz? Which one is a cool girl? Find out about that and more from a “band” that has given us great songs such as Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc., and Stylo.

divorced dad anthems

Gone are the days where Dad Rock was comprised of bands like Foreigner, Scorpions or Journey; that place has been taken over by Nickelback, the Foo Fighters, Weezer, and even Metallica. I think I discovered this YT channel about a year ago, and never miss a video, but this one has got to be one of the best. You will find here some familiar names and songs, but others are from guys you have never heard about but they’re ok anyway. The irony here is that many of these rockers are happily married and will probably remain so. I predict that after watching this video the Divorced dad anthems are going to become your favorite music, even if you’re not a dad nor are divorced.

Francis Ford Coppola's First Podcast: How Philosophy Has Inspired His Life and Career

Megalopolis may have been a flop, but that doesn’t mean the man behind it doesn’t have his merits. Something of a wise old man and a philosopher, Italian-American director Francis Ford Coppola was born in Detroit in 1939; he’s the master behind The Godfather trilogy and the great Apocalypse Now. At age 85 he’s still creating and has a lot of knowledge to share. In this interview he talks about classic books, movies, history and gives his own perspective about art, family, and life.

This is probably the best video I saw last year; you may want to watch it more than once and bring a notebook to take notes. What this man says here is pure gold.
