You won’t find cat videos in here. Hello everybody, I hope you’re doing great and had received a happy new year. This is my very first post of this 2024, where you will find 12 videos that’ll keep you educated and entertained at the same time. You will like them, trust me.
“Life is abundant with potential and mystery. Life is a big adventure if you choose it to be.” – Alux.com
Some of this videos have millions of views, other not so much, but they all will teach you something new and some of them will make you see things from a different angle.
Since you are here, you must be something like myself, someone who prefers to be educated rather than entertained. And who says you can’t do both at the same time?
And, as I said on the thumbnail, you won’t find cat videos in here.
So, here they are twelve of them I know you will like.
12 - Lenny Kravitz - TK421
Lenny Kravitz - TK421 (Official Video)
Let’s begin this list with a little music shall we? This man found the fountain of youth and kept it all for himself. He also has been producing great music since 1989, when his first album came out. This song combines an upbeat funky rhythm with hard rock and some electronic beats; it is the first single of Lenny’s upcoming 12th album, and although it’s not as good as 2018’s Low still rocks enough to put you in a great mode. The video features Lenny flexing his great physique while he does his morning routine dancing and singing for us inside a luxurious mansion. I think there must be something about that water he splashes all over his body, maybe that water contains some kind of secret additive that keep Lenny so fit and healthy… By the way, did you know Lenny says he hasn’t been sick in 37 years?

10 - Why Electric Vehicles Are Impossible To Afford
Why Electric Vehicles Are Impossible To Afford
It will be pretty difficult to make all the cars in the world go electric from one day to the next, and unfortunately, despite of what populist leftist politicians in Europe tell you, we will still be using gasoline for the next hundred years. Despite many car makers have actually lower their prices of their electric vehicles, the actual cost to produce only one of those cars is insane. What company lost 1 billion dollars with these vehicles? What is the real cost of charging just one of these vehicles? Who can brag about this and keep spending money that is not theirs? And, most importantly, who is in the end the real loser in all of this? Find out the answers of all this questions in this video.

His health deteriorates, he suffers nervous breakdowns, and, to make matters worse, his closest allies have been disobeying his orders in secret.

8 - French Military Techniques to Learn a Language FAST
French Military Techniques to Learn a Language FAST
I’ve been trying to learn French since like 10 years ago and, although I like it very much, I still don’t fully comprehend that language; maybe if I knew the techniques the French Foreign Legion applies I would be a much better French student. The French Foreign Legion is composed of men from all over the planet who speak an array of different languages, but everyone, of course, has to learn French. This video discusses the unique and intense methods employed by Legion to teach its recruits the French language. They don’t put so much emphasis on grammar, but the men do have to be fluent when they speak, and from the very first day the recruits cannot speak in their native tongue and must respond only in French. Find out more, and watch it till the end.

How to Dress Casual Like James Bond - 3 Ways Daniel Craig Mastered the Look
Since we are in topic of fashion and clothes let me tell you that I think Daniel Craig’s James Bond did the best of all the other James Bond in terms of wardrobe and style (forgive me Sean Connery, you were great also!). This character has always been associated with the tux and formal attire, but in this day and age is the casual attire James Bond uses the one we’re focusing on. Here you will learn from a young you tuber how to rock the casual style while at the same time present yourself in a neat and stylish way. This is the most watched video of this new channel.

4 - To Join this Mafia you need to follow these 10 Rules
The Ten Rules of THE GRIM
Gangsters are not good men, but they are good at being men; maybe that’s what attract so many of us to mafia and crime movies. The secret code these guys have could be applied by anyone, regardless of who they are or where they come from: don’t lie, don’t steal, be helpful, hospitality, honor, mentorship, pilgrimage to the mountains, and a few more you will learn in this cool video. I’ve been watching this guy’s videos for over a year now, and although I’m against all kinds of mafia and crime, there is something he can teach you about life itself.
No matter how much money a man has, if he doesn’t have a family and someone to watch for him then he’s a nobody.
3 - White People Food
White People Food
Now it’s time for a little rant here. There was a trend last year on the internet about people in Asian countries dunking on “White People Food” because it was healthy and nutritious; but it was also accused of being too bland and tasteless. Well, what about Asian street food so many westerners go crazy for? Do you even know how that “food” is actually prepared? Watch this video and look at what you didn’t know about the so called “flavorful”, “delicious”, and “healthy” street food in Asian countries. And when a friend tells you about his trip to Southeast Asia and says to you: “Man, you gotta try the street food”, show him this video.
I warn you: some of the images on this video will shock you, be discreet.

What do venture capitalists do to your business? What makes a store successful? Does luck play a part in your life? What is his definition of success?
