- Dig into the monetary value of the ocean, from global trade, to tourism, fishing, and more, as Poseidon contemplates selling it.
--
Surveying his vast domain, Poseidon considers retirement. What if someone else donned the coral crown so he could spend his immortality harmonizing with whales and cozying up to hydrothermal vents? Poseidon decides he needs to prioritize himself for once. So, he summons his accountant and asks: how much could he sell the ocean for? Astrid J. Hsu conducts a financial analysis of our oceans’ worth.

More proof that Hades is the best god of the group.
True, and Hades is also the god of wealth so he can afford the ocean no matter what.
Hestia has entered the chat
but yeah one of those 2
this instance of Hades absolutely tracks
He is?
Accountant: hold my c4 bomb
Whoever writes these series really needs a raise! So far the best entertaining way I've been taught about preserving the oceans 🌊

Soon to be a sophisticated GPT
@@darioadrianz "sophisticated GPT" is an oxymoron.
I concur
I love that Hades and the accountant were just chill people trying to help Posidon out
Since King Triton is Poseidon son's
It's 100% possible this accountant is Sebastian or a relative.
New headcanon adopted

So refreshing to see a positive depiction of Hades, as far as Greek Gods go he really was a chill dude.
Persephone would wholeheartedly disagree...
Just Hades being a bro
@@Phaeton667 except that
@@Phaeton667 depends, not every version of the myth is a tale of coercion and given how in many modern interpretations try to vilify Hades to make him "Greek Satan" it may be a modern tale.
@@Phaeton667or agree considering she chose it in some versions.
One of the most important, yet least talked about, arguments for conservation is that in many cases it is the better option financially speaking.
Long term though. The people making these decisions know they won't be there for a long time and also know they will be sheltered from their decisions, so they only care about short-term gains.
Long term and also the money would belong to different industries. Fishing industry make less but tourism makes more. Oil makes less but electric makes more. It is often apparent which industry big wigs get to call the shots because as a autocratic government, you would pick the long term investment over the whims of the current industry big wigs.
Twilight sparkle!
@@kokoalwadi6096 Yes?

This is actually really entertaining to watch. Whoever does the animation for these should get a raise.
And the narration! And ESPECIALLY the writing
The animator is Astrid J. Hsu
@@EbrimaGaye-qj2znI’m pretty sure that’s not true
@@EbrimaGaye-qj2znhe is the narrator
I AM NOT THE NARRATOR!! I’m just a kid who likes Ted-Ed
I love how Hades stands, unmoving, as the crab explains everything
Poseidon: I'm getting tired of ruling the ocean. I want someone to take my place for me.
Triton: Hello, Father-
Poseidon: Hades, my bro!
i mean, to be fair, he's known hades for longer than any of his offspring, and when you're a god, i would think that is valued a lot
sabastian the Crab, divine accountant and assistant : Let's seal the deal, i don't want to be under Triton order.
we all know it didn't worked
If Poseidon needs someone to tell his best squid story to, I'll lend an ear. He looked so eager to share it 😆 Cool video!
In some of the earliest Greek text, it appears that Hades and Poseidon were the same god at one point, but may have gotten split into two as the stories got passed down over several generations.
It's more accurate to say that Hades is possibly a deviation of Poseidon
which was a god of the earthquakes and vaguely linked to the underworld. he was also the Big boss of the time before Zeus took this role.
That's also why he's linked to horse, probably a remnant of that pre hellenistic time before he was demoted to god of the seas.
How to be a supervillian? Buy the ocean.
🧐
Better yet, steal the ocean.
Don’t give Elon any ideas
The ocean is just water, the chemicals of water is H2O. You should instead own the water and legally control it. They’ll have to pay royalties and the money you’ll generate will be that beyond the Stock Market or Dark Money within the single day.
@@thelocalshoopSo when you mine the ocean or have fishing fleets or collect diamonds of the coast do you consider that stealing the ocean
This was absolutely beautiful. I love how they manage to reduce the general monetary value of the world's oceans while also speaking to its unparalleled beauty and true existential value to all life on earth. Well done.
Yes ! Surprise good Hades is always my favorite!
Womp womp
Really is refreshing to see a positive depiction of Hades, at least as far as Greek gods go he was a very chill dude.
Hades is generally never in the wrong though
This is so sweet but heartbreaking. I wish more could be aware of what our ocean really needs.
the wholesome plot twist at the end was nice :)
The quick solution would have been abdicating to let his eldest legitimate son, Triton, to inherit the throne. If not, even a flying horse and a one-eyed brute would claim ownership of the ocean.
Nah should give it to his favorite son; Percy Jackson
@@MateusChristopherhe wouldn’t want that
Interesting way to explain why the ocean is so important.👍
0:01 "The ocean doesn't need us, but we absolutely need the ocean." - Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson
Fun fact: The ocean would actually do a whole lot better WITHOUT Humans.
Addison Anderson you have the voice of a God and everyone involved in this video including the educator are very much the same. Loved it
I thought it was in bad taste to actually say there name of the Ted Ed narrators
What a smart way to talk about the importance of the ocean.
Ted is tricking us into learning things again
Wonderful narration.
And thank you for bringing this voiceover artist.
El video más bonito que he visto de TED-Ed. These videos are raising awareness, I hope this one get to many eyes as possible! Earth and ocean are incredible
Legends say this is a better story than Auquaman 2
I love how Hades is just like 😀 for most of the video
Very cool video! I like the idea of god’s having massive companies, I also wish utilizing tidal energy was more widespread
Tidal energy harvesting is a good idea, but it's relatively new and not the most reliable. I would say it's better than hydroelectric energy, though.
I am an ocean, I am the sea, there is a world inside of me!
I absolutely love this channel how creatively they give information
We all know what Poseidon would actually do with even more free time
chase after even more mortals lol
Nah, that's Zeus. Poseidon was actually pretty faithful as far as Greek Gods go.
@@EeveeShadowBaconcough cough, Demeter
@@EeveeShadowBacon you're thinking of Hades, Poseidon was equal, if not worse than Zeus in numbers.
He was nearly as bad as Zeus in that, but it mostly didnt end tragically, cause you know, no Hera, heck he would even give favors to some of the people.
Hades was pretty chill tho@@EeveeShadowBacon
@@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369 Medusa would like a word.
This is so sweet! I love seeing accurate depictions of Hades, he's a good person and I can totally see him doing something like this!!
This is such an amazing video!! WOW!!
This is a lovely story of the environmental issues plaguing our oceans today and a lovely solution to our roblems I hoe to see us take on these challenges and make our oceans as invaluable as they are
Poseidon just needs to pass his trident to Percy Jackson. 🔱🌊
This must be the first time Ted Ed has used a myth to frame a science lesson :0 usually they play it straight or use a science fiction question instead
No
The ocean doesn't need us, but we absolutely need the ocean.
Wonderful explainer
Awesome as always thanks
I thought this was a riddle video and was like, "Wow, this is a long one!"
Thank you!
Amazing talks❤ I love it
I have watched so many videos here, well this one stands out ❤❤❤
This was really neat! Well written and animated.
This put tears on my eyes 😢
Wasn’t expecting it, but this was an amazing analysis of what that much water really means 😊
Great work, Hades and Mr.Crabs
I'm an enrolled agent, and I love the accountant character!
OMG this is the most creative way to deliver a message 😂 I am so inspired
Priceless
DAAAMMMNNNN THE END LEFT ME TEARS OF JOY!!!!!!!!
Hey better quality some thing is when it dies or more value it has accumulated, the more Hades gains when it joins his kingdom. And everyone and everything eventually joins it naturally. He can wait. (He is a cool older brother though.) Cool video.
This reminds me of the story Kafka tells about Poseidon who can't go anywhere because he's busy doing paperwork
What a beautiful video!
A simply amazing video. ❤
Oceans are Invaluable!
You know it’s a good day when they post a new riddle
Great Content as always
What an amazing and eye-opening video!
Please could you do more History vs. I am always impressed with your work.
Always had this question myself
I want to join this team and just be in the same room as the people who make these videos. This was beautiful ❤️
Great video!
"Tell em to bring out the whole ocean!"
-DJ Khaled
This was so beautiful 🥹❤
We need to help the world, we need to work together regardless of identity, looks, etc. What truly matters is to work towards a safe world, ocean acidification is worsening and is likely to destroy many species that we need to survive. Global warming is not doing great either. We must work together in order to create a more peaceful world.
Phenomenal work as always. I would like to hear that squid story.
Nice reveal, Hades is such a bro for real.
wholesome ending ngl
This might be my favorite Ted Ed video
That is one heck of a great twist at the end.
Posideon was the god of the underworld and earthquakes in Mycanean Greece. Being the god of the ocean was a minor part of his domain and characterization. He was also in charge, not Zeus (who was a much smaller god), and Hades didn't exist.
Accountant is a smart crab. 😊 And hades is not so bad after all
Just made a research, and with investments on the ocean for its recovery and health, with a 600% of extra value, the ocean alone would be worth 144 quadrillion dollars, or 14 quintillions, more than 2-3 times the global world economy!
Respect on my boy Hades. Love it
Important facts very well told.
Poseidon: "Only a quarter of the earth's annual revenue? I'm taking my ocean to another planet, until you guys stop trying to lowball me!!"
This episode is next fricking level
Thank uuuuuu all❤❤❤❤
That was a roller coaster of facts and emotions
Wow ,this was excellent
I really like it. Thanks!
This was a lovely video
Hmmm...dear Addison Anderson 🤣🤣🤣😁😁 i saw the names good thank you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In audiobook office there's a dear person so similar to you dear adisson, the voice 😁
Kudos to the scriptwriter 😊
Yes, the invisible person is often the scriptwriter
Fun fact it would cost roughly 5 quadrillion or 5.000.000.000.000.000 dollars
Very cool video.
Hades is the best big brother you can get
Ted Ed is one of the best story tellers in the world 🎉❤
Well done Hades - to those who watched to the end :)
i morally disagree with tedtalk on many things, but i have to give it to you, this was a really cool analogy.
what’s the quadratic formula
X = (-b±sqrt(b² - 4ac))/2a
this here is more about the aquatic formula🤷♂
we are all Poseidons' in ourselves.. and its our duty to take care of our oceans
I actually thought this was going to be a riddle and was waiting for it the whole time...
i love this
That's without mentioning the 20 million tons of gold in the ocean
Titans of industry!? Awesome. 😂
Depends on the currency
amazing video. I'm a big fan of you＋👍🔔
Dear Poseidon. When you're immortal, you do not sell your possessions. You delegate your responsibilities if you want to take a break. You hire managers ☺️
"Reducing such a priceless, generously life-giving, natural system to number"
Does anyone know of an existing term describing this phenomenon? I've thought about it before, and came up with "unpoetic quantification."
