Most of us are here because we need to sleep, right?
YEP! XDD
HOW DID YOU KNOW!?
Right
yup.... its Christmas night and i cant fall asleep
Yup
i feel bad for this guy, i literally looked up boring lecture and this was number 1
same lol
unlimited_JP same
Psshh i feel bad for the students that have to sit through it
sad to me，I literally looked up a global history class，I thought this was somehow most popular one LOL
there is no such thing as a boring topic, only bored people.
I'm so sad I typed "boring class" expecting role play and I found some serious work of this respectable teacher.
Same
people who says this class is boring are the one that haven’t watched, the Professor is pretty funny during class
same bro
I already know this will keep me awake, not put me to sleep. Bookmarking to watch in the morning.
Video begins around 35:00
Girl has amazing posture
+Thilo Savage Boy is observant!
+Thilo Savage LOL Yes
My back does not even do that lol
An A student for sure.
It's a guy
Thank you for putting this up. I’m a young person on disability and am not legally allowed to go to school. I was born disabled. Seems not really fair, so this makes me feel a bit better about the world. Even if I can’t get a degree of any kind, I can still educate myself. They can’t take that away from me.
All I can say is massive respect to you man.
@@zecprgva1322 thank you.
read aajonus vonderpliantz book
Self Education is the best education! Don’t worry that you can’t get the education others get. The education doesn’t make them special. And educational institutions are inclined to tell you *what* to think instead of how to think well. If you study and maybe even build your own skills you can have a wonderful life without the current cultural education systems ❤
@@CedricBrown-qe5jj
Yes she can go to school, its a misunderstanding. Who the heck said a student on disability can not go to school. Never heard such a thing. That's not correct, she can
I don’t think we appreciate enough how difficult it is to accurately and concisely relay generalized information of world history that is impactful enough. I want to be a teacher, but sometimes I panic just thinking about going up in front of others and doing a topic justice. While some might consider this boring and sleep inducing, it is quite the opposite if you actually follow and understand what’s being said.
thank you, i was reading the comments feeling disheartened till i saw this lol
If you can tell the story to yourself, you can tell it to your students.”
Beau Peterson hey idk if you’ll ever see this but I honestly wish you the best of luck in yours pursuit to be a teacher, much love to you and
Beau Peterson I support you all the way
Find easy to read books
Am I the only one who listened to this trying to sleep but actually found it interesting?
Yes.
same haha
Yeah lol
Yes, yes you are the only one
Need!!!
Fascinating lecture about how ideology and politics controls how history has been taught. I like his calm lecturing style - gives me time to digest what he says. Thanks for uploading these lectures :-)
Once again, CZcams's search algorithm has failed me. I tried to cure my insomnia but instead I was up the whole time, because this was too interesting.
Man I came here to sleep, but this dude is so fire that I actually stayed awake the whole time and listened to his fascinating intro to world history.
I went to listen to this guy's lecture to fall asleep. Boy was that a mistake, being a teacher that wanted to do history, but never did because it was never offered, I would have loved this class.
that's a true historian: begins with the history of the course.
fascinating btw!!
Mhmm
Literally the first result when you search "boring lecture"
lol, i searched boring lecture to sleep
Me too to sleep as well lol!
Scott N haha, unfortunately i didn't sleep that night and went to work. what about you?
Still up lol. If i were sitting in a college class id be falling asleep literally but it was actually easier to pay attention lying in bed lol.
Scott N Lol, yeah same here. I struggle not to fall asleep during classes, yet somehow in bed these boring lectures become interesting. It's 6am at my place right now and i still haven't slept lol. But I drank like 5 cups of tea yesterday
Great topic that is difficult to listen to because of the speed the lecturer talks. So glad you can change the speed of a video on CZcams now. Settings > speed > x1.25 Makes this watchable.
+Daniel Taylor Thanks for that tip, but I cant find this option?
+Michelle www.ellethekitty.ca
If you can see Cog icon on the bottom right of the vide next to the theatre mode/Full Screen icons - click on the Cog icon, then click on 'speed' which is set to 'normal', different speeds should be displayed, select 1.25 or desired speed. Hope this helps.
Daniel Taylor
hey, I had to do some research to make that work. I had yo be on youtube html and apparently I wasn't. I am now, thanks for the tip.
+Daniel Taylor Thank you, that's much better.
+Daniel Taylor THANK YOU
I thought that it was boring enough to fall asleep but I ended up wanting to hear more.
I never thought of it that way, but there's a real conflict of interest between publishers and knowledge, I guess.
close your eyes and picture Ross from Friends
correo casa XD I can see it lol
4 years old comment, and still amazing
xD 4 whole years
Not funny at all
@victor smith
What they tried to do
With america
Is to make a SECULAR
materialistic
Society. Completely removed
From religion.
They got screwed. For trying it.
Set this baby to .75 x speed and say goodbye to your insomnia
I am following this advice and giggling to myself at how this will help me sleep.. sooo super counter productive lol also funny that this is a top search result poor guy
@@Blitznstitch2 he's helping more people indirectly than he is intentionally 🤣🤣
This is infuriating how slow he is talking at 0.75x speed. Oh my lord I can’t deal with this. It’s exactly like being stuck behind a slow walker
Thank you for the amazing tip
I can confirm it works. I know it is too slow but if you stick with it the magic will happen
Loved this lecture series. This is my second time listening to it. He has an incredible intellect. Played the videos at 1.25 speed.
THis is a masterpiece of education. Asking a history class to deconstruct and tear apart his own book. Professor Bulliet is giving an example of creatice history thinking and freedom.
He could be a little more engaging though.
FREEDOM!!
disabled armchair historian. ran out ov documentories and musem lectures. thank you for helping me still learn.
I've read the other comments, but I think this is a great lecture and that he is trying to communicate the real truth.
The delivery is a little insipid, but the content is quite impressive, especially on how the curriculum of world history has developed over the past 20 years. That radioactive dating from archeology not only broadened world history but influenced historians to stumble on to notion that the availability of fish protein and not agriculture might be the key why settlements formed around river valleys is astonishing.
There’s two types of people in the comment section:
Those who came here to sleep
And those who write paragraphs about things I couldn’t begin to understand
Agree!
Dr. Bulliet could polish his presentation style, but otherwise the content is interesting.
Not bad for his first time lecturing this course.
Aloha 🤙🏼
I am so attached to these online classes that I feel like going there and watching them live!
I realized that everytime i have to watch a lecture I have to fight to stay awake, and have failed occassionally. So i realized... Why not use lectures when I actually need help sleeping.
These students were part of something very unique and amazing, I kinda wish I was part of this. I hope, at least, that a few students were able to engage well enough with the subject to give their lecturer something to enjoy and be proud of before he retired.
The first classes in university don't usually go in the subject right away. People in the comment section need to take a history class in university. -_-
Vesto lord They need to take any class in a college or university! The first lecture in any course is almost always an introduction to the subject, including the history thereof. Such an introduction usually lacks any real coverage of the course subject matter. This is beneficial to the students in more ways than one:
(1) The student is made aware of the study of the subject.
(2) Any student who does not have their textbook yet, or other course materials, is given the opportunity to procure said materials.
(3) The student becomes familiar with their professor and his method of instruction and/or personality.
bbryant0620 Very true mon amis.
Thank you - I’ve been scrolling down looking for a comment from someone who actually understands what this is. I was beginning to despair.
Thought provoking, extraordinary to learn that we haven't really got a good handle on world history yet. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
The material is interesting, but the delivery is..uh... torturous.
I think he is awkward because it's the first day of class and because he's talking about sensitive topics like ethnocentrism
@froimovi
Study
ALEX JONES
Aaaaamen
Uhh are you uhhh sure uhhh
I had to speed it up to 2x.
I write my reports when I listen to this so I don't get off task and fool around.
The "teaching" may not start until nearly 50 minutes in, but the history of world history that precedes it is fascinating.
i'm 37m in and so far this is a lecture about the history of the history of the ways in which world civ is taught. not what i was looking for. moving over to khan academy...
Thank you so much for explaining the background of this class! We're enjoying your lecture. This is history! Politics in teaching history is history! This should be in every class!
This type of class is what turns young people off from learning history. I only skipped through this but could tell that very little history was taught in this lecture and the members of the class was bored stiff.
Well said. This is a mixture of relativism and woke ideology disguised as cosmopolitanism. Now such universities have a lot of pro-Hamas students within their walls.
I take my head off for the listening students. Respect!
You mean your HAT off?
Hahaha! Of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phew! Thank goodness.. For a second there I thought you were going to commit suicide by using a very gory method! :D
Viewing a lecture on history and then becoming history yourself? No thanks, I have no plans ... yet.
Sjaak van Dijk that is a bit drastic. why not have one of your feet amputated?
I had no opportunity to study in the US, but listening this lecture I liked the balanced approach of this Lecturer in handling sensitive but important views of world history and showing respect to whole humanity without racism. I appreciate his approach.
This has actually helped me. I’ve been having some serious sleep issues since dec 2016. One night around 2am I remembered how I would fall asleep in high school hearing the teacher’s voice slowly fade out in my head. I played this, put the phone on the other side of the bed face down with a volume not too loud but not too low either... worked amazingly. I don’t know if I’ve gone past the 20 min mark without falling asleep.
😁hey do you fall sleep or not. You might be running the video after the sleep as well.😁
definitely a great professor
Uhhhh...
@@815_silentgoonfilmz lol
Thank you for this video, I found it fascinating. The Lecturer raises many salient points that should be on the mind of every historian and indeed others in the many branches of knowledge. Education should be the purpose of the internet. Thanks.
If I ever have trouble sleeping I’ll just listen to this.
Your pfp tho lol (●__●)
No offense, but this is the first result when when searching "boring history lecture" on CZcams. I have put it to use to shepherd me off to sleep many, many times. The only thing I have ever found that knocks me out faster than this video is HF radio noise. Some day, I will watch the whole thing, but until then, nighty night!
Why anyone would search for @boring history lecture” is beyond me. Go find a topic you are interested in
@@4philipp to go to sleep, duh
Guess who's back, back again.
I have a degree in History and one lecture like this would have made me change majors.
2K16 Change The Channel
Changed majors to what?
It sounds like the professor is saying that certain institutional, ideological and market forces have conspired to produce a world history "text," but the pressure of these forces has compromised the authenticity of said text, and he wants his students to become aware of this problem.
Dude, go to sleep. We're not here to pay attention to the lecture but to fall asleep.
Safiya Rani unless we’ve been given homework from our ap world history teacher
Respect to anyone who has gotten through the entire video without feeling tired
Wait this is actually interesting i was looking up to sleep but I watched the whole video and I really found it interesting and very informative
I play this everyday to go to sleep and it works every time.
M Cai
Hope it works for me
i am listening to this to fall asleep
Saaaaaaaaame!
I am very proud they share and talk about HISTORY OF THE WORLD,because i want to know more about like thjs history so i hope for the next generation hopefully can learn something from here "lecture/techer".
They we should call our hero and legands and techer for everyone....Sir if have people say boring about this class so mean that person is no heart to learn or listening..More Importat is Respect about World History. Thank You. This is video was 11 years already.
RICHARD BULLIET at COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
Fascinating lecture, thanks for posting!
It's 2:30am and I need sleep. But for some reason this is making me laugh.
ricky dedos Yes me too. Laughing out loud at all the rambling with ums and ems. At the end of a career you’d think someone would have learned how to lecture. Has he not heard of Toastmasters?
Anyone here because they're genuinely interested in learning more?
Thenk you Mr.Richard, you are one of the best Techer I've seen ever!
the preamble given by this speaker Richard Bulliet is the reason this information is done well to be explained in such settings
Thouroughly enjoying this lecture. Thank you Sir.
Love this guy. Where else are you going to get a free history of the world course? Unique course and a treasure.
thank you for posting. I wish I could attend a school like this
This is the most interesting thing i have watched in my Life!
I want to sleep, but I somehow got engaged. I feel like I learned a lot lol
This guy is pretty interesting. I would like him as a teacher.
This professor is very inspiring. I wish he is the one to teach my son AP History in high school. We are practically failing because the teacher does not TEACH the subject. My son's statement "If the teacher did not say "Hi" to us when she begins the lesson she would blend with the furniture." Last year (with a different teacher) I could not stop him from reading history. This year it is a disaster... We are failing quizzes and tests even I am present when he is reading the chapters and we are doing quizzes that we find online (I wish there were more of them...).
+V.U | JDoGe | I'm taking AP world history right now, and I found that just reading won't work. It's an overload of information. I used to read and reread chapters and would get C's on my tests. Now, I focus on main topics of the chapter and take short notes and usually score 90-100% on my tests. Hope this helps
It’s bedtime, so it’s time for the history of the world to begin
Hahahah At 2:26 someone falls out of their chair lol
XD
His sudden yet nonchalant burst of anger was the most amusing part.
Probably fell asleep
Melrami Wish it was me! 💤
I'm here cuz i'm dying for sleep. Sorry.
Andhika Yogiswara no need for to be sorry. I am just concerned. I hope you are getting regular sleep since 3 mos ago. over the counter Unisom original, works miracles for insomnia. It's active ingrediant Doxymaline is very effective. Just about all the other over the counter sleep aids contain Diphenhydramine(e.g. Benadryl) or nothing like these snake oil homeopathic products which they make everything from hand cream to cancer cures, all are bullshit....all the diphenhydramine(aka benadryl) otc sleep aids It makes you depressed and causes pain. the Unisom original does not cause cns depression and causes no joint and back pain, etc, but works on the sleep center in your brain and you don't feel that horrible hangover or depression when it starts working.(btw Unisom has like ten different sleep products which are all benadryl. read the fine print) you know even a glass of warm milk can help with sleep. Don't by any of that Homeopathic crap because it has no active ingrediants. if worse comes to worse see a doctor for a temporary sleep aid to get you back into your regular circadian rhythm. please get well my friend....from just another citizen of the world who cares about other people across the world.
+George W Obama o.o
Andhika Yogiswara same, because the holidays are over and i used to go to sleep late...
Andhika Yogiswara me too and and rain trains.clocls and storms dont help even with melatonin which doesnt give me the hang over feeling the other suggested sleep aid mentioned...ambien leaves.me like a zombie...dont ever even try that crap.
@@tread_well_frank2772 are you his stalker sicko
Hello let me introduce myself
I am a 14 year old who Is in love with History but the schools system refuses to teach it to me.Let me explain they will not teach us World History until 10th grade And I am in 8th grade. Have learned all there is to know about American history but nothing about world history. We will also only learn world history for 2 years.2 Years to cover literally everything that has happened in the world until now.I HATE that.I really want to learn about world history and this outraged me to know that we will learn about the world for such a short time.Therefor i would like to thank Columbia University for posting this playlist so I ca really take the world in, and not how the public schools do it.
Uh my history professors were story tellers, they would deliberately suggest controversies to get people to discuss. I never missed even one of their classes. One literally looked like Dumbledore and it felt magical.
And this man is getting my train of thoughts going like on 100 different tracks at the same time.
At 2:26 that was me ....fell out.....slipped into a quick coma.
I could literally listen to this lecture every night for sleep. Sorry professor....but I need sleep buddy.
absolutely excellent; this is the only decent history of the world i could find besides roberts book
I was trying to sleep watching this but accidentally learned world history
Uhhhh...
I'm listening to this because I'm fascinated by ancient history.
Thanks for uploading!!!
He seems brilliant to me. A slow pace means more time to consider his words, and don't tell me I'm slow, cause I'm not. Just sitting here, painting fringes, listening and thinking, very much intrigued.
Anyone read his book on Human-Animal-Relationships? Just read the intro and had to buy it, looking very much forward to reading!
Uhhhh...
Great for insomnia
I can't fall asleep, so I found this!
+william hung try the golf channel, too.
watch this and be interested in it and dont skip it. wow. just wow.
Enjoyed it very much. Thank you
How dare you sleep during my moment!
This is my favorite bed time story! put me to sleep like a baby(:
From a historiographical point this professor makes many valid points. Sadly the rhythm in his speech is not very constant, so many people complain in their comment that it is a boring lecture. Well, if you are actually interested in history and historiography, I think this lecture is not boring at all, above all, I find it exciting that this is available freely on the CZcams.
Shut up nerd we're trying to sleep
I searched: "Lectures to fall asleep to". It's working.
I just love history so I put this on to sleep and now I can’t
Wonderful thought provoking lecture, thank you for sharing.
+Lilikate Buggins yes it is
And i successfully slep well. Thank u youth 💓
Its 3 am and I'm unable to sleep. I searched for 'sleep inducing lecture' on CZcams and found this on no. 1 lol! I'll try to sleep now listening to this.
Fantastic free lecture series, just finished this set and am starting on the next. My only though is that so much time is spent talking about the politics and business decisions of writing the text book itself, that it almost seems as if THAT could be it's own course. "The History of Writing History" or something that deals specifically with those branches of this discussion. I could have done with %20-30 more actual historical event discussion and less "we fought over putting this in or that in", not that those branches aren't interesting in their own right, but they really seemed to derail a lot of these lectures.
Also, big thumbs up for getting the board in the shot when the lecturer is referring to it UNLIKE the videos on the Yale CZcams channel. Get your act together Yale. :D
VJMC Bulliet wrote a textbook and this series is a supplement to reading the text. I assume all his students have read the text, and he is adding perspective in this series of lectures. (I also think they are history majors which is why he talks so much about how historians do their thing!)
+VJMC The "History of writing history" is called Historiography. I took a couple courses on it in grad school. That was actually my favorite part so far. Mostly because I am an AP World History teacher (though I do not use his text) and it was a great insight into the origin of the course. It also fits well into the course he is teaching, which is as much about understanding what the history of the world is as it is about the events of world history
i chose this lecture for background noise, but i accidentally got really interested in what he was saying 💀 tell me more about these textbooks SIR!
fell bad for the guy.
I looked up boring class to sleep to and this was the first one.
This lecture works better than any sleep "music" I've ever used.
I came here at the advice of my urologist. I was having persistent erections and nothing worked. I was considering having surgery done. But then this video finally fixed my problem.
Fascinating stuff! I watch this lecture for 3 months now, before sleep, and I almost hit the 12 minute mark.
I watched this because I can't sleep but now it seems that I have become a master in history
Great over view of the history of the subject.
basically he just stood there and talked for almost 1 hour and a half without a slide or writing things on the board !
.
.
.
he must be very confident to himself!
BEHOLD: 53:02
Uh...uh....uh..........uh..uh..........uh. College course Uh 101
Nope sorry most here to fall a sleep
Uh...
If youre not interested in the History of teaching history in America skip to the middle of the lecture. Once he begins teaching about world history it really picks up. Very interesting
Best nap I’ve had in a while
15:29 what a badass 😂
Boring? - no way! - the history teachers teaching history they had never studied, then the committees get into the act, then the textbook publishers ignoring the committee recommendations - a true saga of the American public school system at its worst - think of it as black comedy.
Okeh..
Are you being serious? Because if so, I agree
With the frizz? -no way!
I’m sorry. Idk why this popped up into my head
Most classes also require you to read numerous articles, essay and/or books that will give you a full scope of the matter. These lectures are generally a nice (though not completely inclusive) condensation of the subject.
Amazing series of lectures! Real eye-openers. Thank you professor Bulliet!
Brilliant! I wish I could have this teacher.
does the prof know that when you type "boring lectures" that his video comes up first? I'd be sad... #stayinschool
This is quite funny. People who watched this wanting to sleep actually found it interesting and engaging, meanwhile people wanting to learn history found it boring!
This lecture doesn’t make you sleep.
