Have you watched a good documentary lately?

Really good yes. An important observation about intergenerational trauma, but from the perpetrator's perspective. But after I watched the first it was enough for me. I found it difficult to really go sit and watch people brag about that.

Into Eternity. It's a 2009 documentary contemplating nuclear waste and how to secure it throughout our distant future.

I also watched a lot of vegan documentaries. I don't recommend them all. I think the best one was "What the health", but I'm not sure, because at this point it's become a blur which documentary showed what. Dominion was also impressive. I'm about halfway through this list:

The Animals Film 1981 Ethics
Diet for a New America 1991 Environment
A Cow at My Table 1998 Ethics
Meet Your Meat 2002 Ethics
Peaceable Kingdom 2004 Ethics
Earthlings 2005 Ethics
A Sacred Duty 2007 Ethics
Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home 2009 Ethics
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead 2010 Health
Planeat 2010 Health
Forks Over Knives 2011 Health
Vegucated 2011 Ethics
Live and Let Live 2013 Ethics
Speciesism: The Movie 2013 Ethics
Cowspiracy 2014 Environment
Racing Extinction 2015 Environment
Unity 2015 Ethics
Carnage 2017 Ethics
What the Health 2017 Health
Dominion 2018 Ethics
Eating You Alive[1] 2018 Health
The Game Changers 2018 Health
Seaspiracy 2021 Environment

Ideologically, a lot of it seems to go back to Peter Singer.

I'm a completist so I did them both, but yeah the second one is kinda just more of the same stuff.

> Interesting. The one that I watched lately and that I would list as one of my favourite documentaries also had the Chicxulub asteroid as its topic:

My lap is not logged in to YT, and I dont really watch it here since its on the shop and I work here, not watch videos, so most of the videos that pop out are in Spanish, and apparently I saw it in Spanish, though I watch English videos for the most part.

So I looked up the original version of the documentary. It did popped out.

A difficult watch indeed...

The Most Dangerous Man in America
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Dangerous_Man_in_America
was good. I also seen serials on the 'Vietnam war' and the 'Cold war' that was good.

A USA produced serial on Dinosaurs was horrible though. A few minutes before the commercial break they presented some new stuff. After it they repeated what was said earlier till a few minutes before the commercial break, and repeat.

I felt my brain shrink... The other episodes may have been good, I don't know, I didn't watch them.

Generally I prefer to read as many shows have a very low rate of information. On Youtube you can find many videos that the creator obviously talks a lot more than necessary in order to make the show longer. This, of course, for the commercials.
