Founded by information designer Philipp Dettmer, Kurzgesagt is a Munich based design studio that runs its own enormously successful youtube channel.

Their bite-size animations on the human condition are snappy, entertaining and leaves you feel a bit more informed every time! 

No Ted-talks heros talking for applause, only well researched info delivered on seemingly (for me anyway) impenetrable themes, such as crispr, string theory, space travel and other stuff that used to belong to the far future.

Their video on our current situation with plastics is a must see!

Other classic Kurzgesagt videoes include: 

Robot rights

Consciousness

Death of Bees

Skyhook

ON Universal Basic Income

On plastics:
