PickVidsBest World history Videos
「World history」下面有147部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象：入门7部，适合还没学过的人；进阶4部，适合已经懂术语的人；普通向136部，按兴趣就能看；更硬的0部，留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是讲解，所以它们的共同点是用一个图像或类比把一个概念补上。常出现的频道包括CGP Grey、Tom Scott、Denis Shiryaev。目录给这个主题划的范围是：History: ancient civilizations, medieval, empires, 20th century history, Cold War, archival footage, history documentaries, historical lectures, Dan Carlin, history of ideas and places.如果只看三部，就从《Try to Rule Fairly and You'll Be Overthrown》开始，它负责把问题讲出画面；然后看《Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order by Ray Dalio》，换一种讲法或例子；最后看《London Swallowed a City but Couldn't Digest It.》，留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开，顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月，不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明，用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看，把引用当成只是拿来举例，把批评留下来对照，不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
