    What if you underwent every human life in history?

    Examine the ethical stance known as longtermism, which is the idea that we should be doing more to protect future generations.--Imagine that your life began as one of the planet’s first humans. After dying, you're reincarnated as the second human ever to live. You then return as the third person, the fourth, the fifth, and so on – living the lives of every human that’s ever walked the Earth. How will your actions in one life impact your future selves? Explore the ethics of the philosophy known as longtermism.Directed by Jay Septimo, Khoo Siew May, AIM Creative Studios.Learn more about the long-term thinking required for humanity to thrive: https://ed.ted.com/everyhumanlifeThis video made possible in collaboration with the Forethought FoundationLearn more about how TED-Ed partnerships work: https://bit.ly/TEDEdPartnersSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-if-you-experienced-every-human-lifeDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-if-you-experienced-every-human-life#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://aimcreativestudios.comMusic: https://soundcloud.com/aim-music----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

In his 1884 novella, Edwin Abbott invented this world and called it Flatland. Alex Rosenthal and George Zaidan take the premise of Flatland one dimension further, imploring us to consider how we would see dimensions different from our own and why the exploration just may be worth it.

    The single largest health threat women confront - Noel Bairey Merz

    Surprising, but true: More women now die of heart disease than men, yet cardiovascular research has long focused on men. Pioneering doctor C. Noel Bairey Merz shares what we know and don't know about women's heart health -- including the remarkably different symptoms women present during a heart attack (and why they're often missed).

    The continents are traveling. When will they collide? - Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl

    Dig into the science of plate tectonics to find out when the next supercontinent will emerge— and how it could affect Earth’s environment.--In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener's theory of Continental Drift laid the foundation for our modern theory of plate tectonics. And today we know something even more exciting: Pangea was only the latest in a long lineage of supercontinents, and it won’t be the last. Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl explores when the next supercontinent will emerge — and what it might mean for Earth’s environment.Lesson by Jean-Baptiste P.

Where unbathed, sword-wielding knights ate rotten meat, thought the Earth was flat, defended chastity-belt wearing maidens, and tortured their foes with grisly gadgets. Except… this is more fiction than fact. So, where do all the myths about the Middle Ages come from? And what were they actually like?

    The epic of Gilgamesh, the king who tried to conquer death - Soraya Field Fiorio

    Dive into the Epic of Gilgamesh, and follow the king of Uruk on a series of dangerous quests as he searches for immortality.--In 1849, in the ancient city of Nineveh in Iraq, archaeologists sifted through dusty remains, hoping to find records to prove that Bible stories were true. What they found instead was a 4,000-year-old story inscribed on crumbling clay tablets— a story that was so riveting, the first person to translate it started stripping from excitement. Soraya Field Fiorio tells the epic tale of Gilgamesh.Lesson by Soraya Field Fiorio, directed by Amir Houshang Moein.Original 3D model of Uruk by http://www.artefacts-berlin.deSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-epic-of-gilgamesh-the-king-who-tried-to-conquer-death-soraya-field-fiorioDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-epic-of-gilgamesh-the-king-who-tried-to-conquer-death-soraya-field-fiorio#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://vimeo.com/amirhoushangmoein ----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
