You are a rare experience, a genuinely intelligent and well informed individual reacting without being an official "expert". I've seen you have insight on geography, history, science and just been a genuine breath of fresh air in the world of YouTube reactors.

Everyone should be given a globe as a child. It gives you such a better perspective and understanding about the world we all share.

How one person can be so confident and informed about so many subjects without being pedantic or didactic is baffling. No stammering, no extended intros, no jump cuts, just casually dispensed, non-sensationalized information. Subbed.

[arathperez]

You are one of the most educated, thoughtful, but also entertaining reaction channels I have seen so far. Thank you for producing this quality content. I look forward to seeing more of you and will sub. I appreciate how you use you background knowledge but also eager to learn more about any topic.

I think most people in school learned with the Mercator projection map. I did. And a trusty globe that I had from when I was 4 years old, but broke right before I moved out.

If you're looking for a book about navigating the globe, there's always "Around the World in 80 Days", which I remember loving reading when I was a kid.

[georgefontes]

Keep them coming as it's amazing to listen to you and amazing to look at you as well. I'm sure you get plenty of comments of that sort and they are well deserved.

[refolden]

Love your content and variety of topics!

The Mercator map is used because it shows the oceans most accurately rather than landmasses, and seeing how shipping and navigation is much more important than us simply finding precisely where we are on a world map that's why it's used.

I'm from New Zealand, and I found that although it is relatively small, it's interesting how it's bigger than it seems. If you overlay it over Europe, it stretches from Helsinki, Finland to Budapest, Hungary; over North America it stretches from Jacksonville, FL to Toronto, Canada.

Same here, the Sahara and Africa thing blew my mind. I knew it was large and that maps shrink it a bit but seriously that's nuts.

[Flastew]

Maps are fun, there are representative maps (like the world map) and grid maps (like those used by the military). Grid maps are supposed to be accurate so precise coordinates can be set. Also, topo maps are cool and have to be updated regularly because the landscape can be changed. Cool video young lady.

Love this channel. One of the few I have that has an intelligent person with interesting and challenging content, that expands my mind and teaches without talking down. Keep up the great work, and I will continue to watch and learn

[markmacgowan]

I'd recommend Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time. A super interesting read.

[cfree]

I like your mind and your knee! 😊

I like the Peter's projection but like you said, the Mercator is probably better for navigation because the shapes are more accurate.

Interesting videos!

[Dragos.Vasiliu]

This channel is great, 99% of reaction video channels are so annoying but you really are the exception! you always add great educational info and make the original video even more interesting . I'm glad i stumbled across this channel

[hlawrencepowell]

Very interesting. Love your channel. It's about real stuff!

[kennylee]

Instant like with the instant start. Great reaction!

[YoonbeenPark]

Hey! Wonderfully informed reaction. I highly recommend Jay Foreman and his Map Men series or his Unfinished London series. Both are entertaining histories of maps and London, respectively.

[grahammosdall]

I've just stumbled across your channel by chance. Watched a load of videos and I'm really enjoying your content. Have subscribed and ring that bell. Can't wait for your next vid. 😁
