this guy turned an 8 minute video into a 26 minute video thats pretty impressive
That's what reaction videos should be. Author is suppose to express his opinion and not just stick his face in the corner and make sound from time to time.

"In warfare, if you get into a fair fight, you messed up."
- Can't remember
That's why most battles are asymetrical.
Napoleon didn't care
@@donk1890 napoleon used the 'defeat in detail' strategy. in short, when the enemies army is split up to defend several key points in an area (ex. bridges, certain hills, etc) napoleon only sent a small number of soldiers to defend his flank while sending his main force to a single key point, where he would have a number advantage. btw i know theres a vid about this on yt so look up if u want
@@marktheprussian Ahh I see! thanks man for pointing that out
@@donk1890 And that backfired for him hard
No most battles are symmetrical, asymmetrical warfare is guerilla tactics usw as an example Vietcong and Al-qaeda tactics are considered to be asymmetrical. This was one of the major problems for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we were ready for a symmetrical war aka 2 armies face of against one another one wins but the Al-qaeda didn't function like that there was no army just an enemy that would strikes fast and then fade away into nothingness
And I think I misunderstood what you were saying sorry 😅
Humans : we wage wars in thousands of fronts and suffering millions or even billions for the last thousand or years.
Ants : *Is that it?*
Bernard Werber (a kinda famous french author) made a trilogy about sentient ants and how they would interact with humans and other animals hiveminds. It's called Empire of the Ants and, even though it's not s
always scientifically correct, it's seriously a must have if you like books, ants or both
"war, war never changes"-ant
POG tommy likes ants
so happy to hear this, he does what I did, I keep ants now.
humans are successfull because we are able to teach our future generations
we can save knowlegde over generations and developp it further. we do not just replicate behaviour we observe. we are not just using nature for our advantage (technology) we also understand why it works.
i totally agree, understanding is the key to everything. If you understand something which have might scared you before, you loose the fear of it.
Thats the reason why i believe that education, a open dialog , no censorship and thinking instead of blindly following , is vital to changing our society for the better.
The one thinks for himself and tries to understand the bigger picture , is not as easlily manipulated as the one who sits in ignorance and fears his own shadow
I disagree. Do we ‘understand’ how a phone really works? What about the weather? Electricity? Maybe some of us do, but not the vast majority that take part in these things.
What humanity has over other species, is our ability to think about more than just the physical world and realities, but imagine abstract ideas that we cannot replicate in the physical plane.
@TheFruitMan i agree we dont need to be there, to teach future generations like for example books and writing,and launguge and arts.
Intelligence + cooperation/interactions = human success.
There are more kurgezagt videos about ants. I would recommend them.

How's that racist ?

@Bangi 69 explain it to me
@Bangi 69 got it thanks
The bigger brain thing is a misconception, typically in nature brains are proportional to the body, elephants have bigger brains because they are bigger, it doesn't have anything to do with size but more with how it has evolved and developed. An important part of the brain in humans that makes us different from animals, is the brain region that serve a function in Language related things such as speech recognition and production.
Tommy needs to react to the ants supercolony
19:00
No. Five million Empire State Building will bring us to the atomsphere and beyond.
When was a kid i used to make ants fight with other bugs, i took a big bowl put some sand in it, then collected ants and other bugs that i mutilate like cut off their wings or grasshoppers legs so the couldn’t escape. Really fun fights we even made bets 😂
I did the same but with a glass cup and I didnt mess with them before the fight, just put the cup over them and let them go at it but the best fight I seen was a ant vs a bee and the bee ripped the ants head off
This is really relatable but really fucked up now that I think about it.
@@PrinceLlamanade aaaah humans, Reeking havoc wherever we go.
@@justwatchinyt3586 All fun and good until the ants become sentient, and remember our crimes. Then they plan a large scale continental invasion where nothing is left but the viscerally devoured corpses of human bodies forever etched onto the landscape with their fear engrained expressions.
We had a tree in school sith ants and a type of bee we used to watch them fight spoiler the ants always won
"Imagine there is a planet just like ours-"
Welp, I got about 40 billion revelations for you.
I fucking love this reactions, you not only "watch" the video, you COMMENT the content, make your OWN thoughs, critizize the content in a constructive way, and make jokes that are actually funny.
Also i love ginger guys, thats a plus.
i so agree ants are my childhood

There is actually a fiction based book called New dinosaurs Alternate evolution by Dougal Dixon. Anyone can check it out if they are interested.
Also actually, dinosaurs won't necessarily be smart, evolution doesn't work that way. Hell, we are closer to T rex than T rex to Stegosaurus in timeline, think about that. We are one species that was either extremely lucky or cursed with intelligence.
Cursed. Remove the natural pressure that our intelligence was selected for and we are a mess.
It's bizarre that running from danger is okay but modern life isn't.
@@user-rl6wr2ny7f may be we go extinct oneday due to over specialization
@@niranjansrinivasan4042 I do not know how true it is but I've read plenty that people (especially men) are getting weaker. To maintain the current strengths of humanity we need to balance modern and selective pressures.
Theres no point in being smart if a dog can kill you.
Humans have survived through some difficult time periods but those were already strong people who needed no medical intervention. I wonder what the population total would return to if everything breaks down.
@@user-rl6wr2ny7f I wonder if we can make it for the next 500 years. Dinosaurs must be one of the most evolutionarily successful clade, still having birds as their direct descendants.
@@niranjansrinivasan4042 I think we will split once space travel is viable. Some people will remain human. Humans are the cause of their instability. We don't except balance only constant growth.
What are your thoughts on the stoned ape idea?
In my opinion for animal to evolve be intelligent the situation it is in must be beneficial to be intelligent.
When Tommy talked about playing god with the ants and creating floods I felt that, it was me when I was like 10 am 17 now and can't kill a fly without feeling bad, mosquitos are the only exception they should all be fucking eradicated.
If I had to eradicate one species it would be mosquitoes
aw man, i wonder why i never thought of that...
Same with crane fly’s
Damn the ants using soviet tactics
Tommy should play the Earth Defense Force franchise
Army Ants are literally the Ant worlds equivalent to the Mongols in our world.
3:41 TommyKay Forgor💀
4:06 TommyKay Rember😊
????????????
Why did u comment this?
Well with evolution a common phrase I think about is "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Ants have their own niche on this planet and it has worked extremely well for them, they have conquered that niche in basically every part of the world, so they are among the most successful group of animals that have ever existed on Earth, there's no reason for them to have taken the human niche, not that they could have mind you.
Hoi4 Ant Mod.
Human successful because of our ability to communicate and learn from our ancestors and not have to relive the same mistakes and learning the best methods
Evolution isn't survival of the fittest it's survival of the good enough
Tommy should watch the others kurksgezagt videos about ants
While cooperation is important to development, competition is another key factor for humans. Competition gives need for innovation. Humanity has made some of it's greatest technological advancements due to competition. You see it all the time between companies today. If say Microsoft never had any competitors, then they would have had less drive to create a better product. War is also another example. In war military technology is developed far more rapidly and eventually technology developed for war is adapted for civilian use.
but the ants in the video are constantly at war with each other- why havent they developed even to a fraction a degree we have in their conduction of warfare?
@@gabrielegenota1480 I would guess It's their hivemind nature. If your Individuality exists only In a hive mind, then you can't really Innovate.
@@gabrielegenota1480 You can't make any technology if you are a tiny bug with no hands
Oh yeah, Btw What matter towards intelligence is Not only the Size of the Brain but the Brains size and mass compared to body size and mass. Meaning even if Your Brain is just as Big as my Fist, but your body is just as Big as 170ml cup you're gonna be Super Smart; and even if your Brain is as Big as Earth but Your Whole Body is as Big as The Sun you're gonna be Super Stupid.
Best streamer watches best channel
Tommy Kay philosopher, he also has to watch more Kurzgesagt videos
11:26 well some species of Lemur I think are already in their stone-age, not only using stones as tools, but also using stones to make other stones more effective tools (so: advanced tool use). Lemurs are not primates I think, so its not that unlikely that in this scenario, one of these other types of monkey figures out fire, metal and farming.
On how intelligence emerges: well its all about evolution. You need an environment that rewards increased intelligence: meaning that has a positive evolutionary pressure towards bigger brains. One of the main problems there is: energy consumption. For your brain to really take off, you need to get to a point where the investment in food that such a brain is, is not detrimental to your chances of finding said food. After the evolutionary "hard-ware" you can also do A LOT with "software" when it comes to the brain. Things like a more complex society, tool use, art, etc train the brain to be better at abstraction. This gets exponentially more pronounced as society progresses (they had to readjust the IQ scale several times up, so that 100 stays the average, as people are getting much much better at abstraction very quickly).
bruh wtf he watches like 10 seconds then talks for another 3 minutes
Such a goood video man
Every ant You kill You help other ant tribes
Answering if we're the only intelligent life in the universe is tricky since the universe is, well, big. really really big. Possibly infinitely big. It's possible there's millions of intelligent life out there but we're just too far away for us to ever interact. And since the universe is ever expanding and distances are just increasing, it's possible we will never make contact even IF there is other intelligent life out there.
1:16 Warhammer 40k be like
About the tip with the eye. I can not move my left eye. So if something lands in there there is no hope.
Love Kurzgesagt. One of my favourite
I still believe to this day that the only reason humans became dominant is because of thumbs
Pretty close, as tool use is our greatest asset and thumbs where likely what allowed most tool development
If apes didn't evolve, ant's would have became intelligence
TommyKay kinda reacts to a video about ants but mostly ponders lifes greatest questions
Hope tommy watches the fire and maneuver trailer and maybe even play it when it releases!
if dinosaur never died out, humans will never exist
_Fin_
Just remember that that's the first in a video series
Orc tommy at it again
This killed me lol. 9:16
I'd watch an ant playthrough
Do you still play Vic II? Id love to see you make a series again like the japan game.
Yk the vid is gonna be twice the actual video he’s reacting to when he says “when I was a kid…”
Imagine the biggest star we are like atoms now that made the star up like ants do
So epic
Plz we have to make him react to the types of civilization video send it to him or tell him to watch it great video
So we can reach a higher level of civilization by simply leaving every light and electronic device open in our homes and never turning them off?
there is an ant simulation game called the udergroth
18:10 "so interested in this stuff man" doesnt even read it correctly
yeah ok idek who this guy is definitely an ADHD andy type streamer
I feel like if we went away for ten million years or something and came back and there wasn’t it’d be all the proof we needed that we’re more of an abomination
LETS GOOOOOO
22:00 the new parodox game ant vs ant
Finally
man's never heard of Empires Of The Undergrowth-
*Try not to pause every 30 seconds challenge*
New Paradox game
That's me (:
Tommy there is a new game from these series
I believe in aliens
Tommy needs to play shadow of mordor or shadow of war or play them both
Yesss
Tommy is kinda smart compared to an average HOI4 player
Human success?... Society
Pls play empires of the undergrowth
Human hands
I don't think many people understand how strong ants actually are, imagine if all humans could lift there whole body with 2 fingers and that we all knew how to professionally fight and we didnt get scared if confronted with danger
We would be so op
Meat consumption started it but in the end cooked food was the key to our modern existence and our supremacy over other animal
Tommy got ADHD
ant fetish

Tommy takes LSD
YESSSS TOMMY SAPIENS YESSSSSSSS
COOKINg meat*
There was bigger species of ants in the past. But at any rate their life cycle was reduce. There's a natural evolutionary blockade for ants and other social insects, they can't evolve into bigger entities and muster the same reproduction capability. Big animals need bigger chunks of food to survive, so less to share. A colony of insect can't evolve into bigger animals. Even if all other animals suddenly disappear and they end up getting bigger their numbers on the bigger stage will be smaller.
In fact that already happen with ants even in the smaller scale, bigger ants have less individuals in the colony while smaller ants have more.
8:38 Careful how you say his name dude amen 🙏
Change the title to TommyKay has the Video on the background while completly ignoring it and talking about other shit nobody cares about.
18:15 They have what?
Lenis
We are either the first species to become sapient or we are the last.
We have a collectivistic behavior but also a individualistic behavior that balances it out.
A Creator of the universe sounds more believable than a a single particle going boom and spawning the universe.
Animals need to be pressured into evolving drastically to achieve sapiency just lime us who had to evolve much faster due to the harsh environment of the African continent.
Evolution doesn't do jumps. Sure ants as smart as humans would have an advantage. But would slightly smarter ants requiring slightly more resources per ant really be more effective at survival then slightly more ants you can have instead?
3:30 Well there are more ants than humans both in number and mass so it is arguable who's actually more succesful. You, as a human, have evolved to value certain things for the sake of the survival of the species and, of course, those things are things that humanity has evolved to do. So, if you measure antity by the human evolutionary imperatives of course they come short, but if you measure by more general evolutionary imperatives not so much.
To me it’s kinda simple why humans got so smart
We figured out how to cook meat, cooked meat means more calories, more calories can then sustain a bigger brain, and a bigger brain can usually mean more brainpower and intelligence, but of course there are still idiots out there since we kinda broke natural selection and evolution which were the two major factors that allowed us to get so dominant in the first place.
19:14
Austro hungarian empire declares war on serbia
Please fix the title. It says Reaction not Commentary
Nah, thing that saved our species is nothing else, but ability to speak and communicate and nothing without understanding things around us (observation skills); if we were not to talk or understand fire lets say, we wouldnt be able to pass that knowledge and explain it to others by just moveing our tail or something stupid like that That other animals do. Even if we had just paws with communication we would overcome that problem within few years of early development (we would be 200+ years back in comparison to now tho) either by moveing in group of two and later developing prosthetics to help us use things better or crafting ourselves with some weird things like african tribes did where they do something to their body and modify it physically; that would be a ritual like sunnah to muslims, literally would be the same thing just different purposes where you get modifications or changes when you are born; they used to extend necks or have lips to the ground with those disk rocks etc. all the same, modification of paws would actually be usefull; crabs and other shellers are doing it, they use nature (shells from the ground) some grow their own, but many just scavange ground for something they can fit to modify their physical ability in their case armor and protection.
Now ravens are limieted by the fact that they are birds if they were mammals and were as smart as they are now, we would probably share space with them, they have language that can be directly translated if we had technology, they literally use ,,words,, to communicate with one another and cooperate in everyday life they just cant to shit with wings and claws not to mention how diminished they are with nutritions, being cursed with stupid beak and no teeth their brain wasnt able to grow as much to begin with; another story if they were mammals really + carnivourse with thirst to kill and hunt for more every single day like we did early development must start with tools either for killing or growing.
