japan and england, as island countries near large prosperous continents, have unique advantages for long lasting institutions. Oxford university is around 1100 years old, for example. Being near well populated continents allows them to exchange goods and knowledge with the greater world. And being an island makes it very hard for foreign invaders to takeover or destabilize the area.
'Cept England was invaded multiple times, as was Japan. They just didn't have these particular institutions destroyed. Sounds more like luck than anything else.

As an entrepreneur, I must say that the whole purpose of business is money/profit. If a company needs to last longer, then it has to be able to evolve and pivot. Remember, business is about money and that's it.
The purpose of business is to provide a product or service to a consumer who will benefit from said product or service. Money is just the middle man. The point of business is to solve people's problems.
@@jordankelly4684 The point of a business to society is to provide a needed/wanted good or service. The purpose of a business to its owner is to generate a profit for its owner

I also think it is very interesting and unique the way you try to relate apple and Microsoft and I do not agree at all with your framing there I don't think the math supports it. the math and data and their own words generally speaking support the notion that they try to pivot around each other and that non-competition as a goal is really what makes them work to the level of success that they have. I also think it's a very bold perspective that you end with because pretty much no business person or entrepreneur I've ever met or spoken to would agree with being tied to and controlled by a nation is a good thing. in fact every entrepreneur or business person I've ever heard speak on it actually advocates for the exact opposite. you are the only person I've ever come across the advocates for nationalization of business. also lastly this seems to be a bit clickbait because I wanted to hear about the company in the title in more detail and the entire video I kept thinking is there any second now you were going to double back to the original company teased, that Japanese construction firm. nonetheless it was an interesting video. perhaps I am alone in this but I think it could have used a little more focus and a little more clarity thereby
The last points need another Caveat. Merging the Company to the goverment doesnt only makes you financialy tied to it. But also Culturally tied. And once merged you are essentially entering their Tool Cupboard. This can mean you/ your company can be an Asset, safeguard, tool, pawn, and Sacrifice on the whims of whomever in the Chair at that time. Unless of course, you dont fully integrate.
I think Cargill will last for at least another century, a chance Mars does too but their path is more treacherous. I think Faceberg will disappear after Zuc kicks the bucket, same with Tesla and Musk. I want to say Apple and Amazon too(more Amazon than Apple) but I am uncertain when it comes to them.
I think Tesla's Charging Infrastructure and the core brand are too valuable to disappear unless Musk nukes it from orbit. Musk's actions with Twitter have really hurt the brand of his companies, but I suspect a lot of goodwill would return if Tesla suddenly had different leadership.
All companies that sell arms to the US government will be around another century, Lockheed Martin, Boeing Raytheon. Another company will be around are large banks such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo. Cargill I agree but Mars can die through a merger.

great video! one note, Rome was not built in a day, but it didn't fall in one either! I know this proves a point for the rest of the video, but it's still not true. Rome, as in Western Rome, fell over the course of centuries as a number of social, political, and economic forces ate away at the country while Germanic tribes moved into Roman territories. Even this is a massive oversimplification, before even considering the Byzantines.
The single best gladiatorial combat game ever made. Was made by Lucas Art's. GLADIUS was literally so good no one has ever even bothered to make a new version of it.
There was a megacorp that joined the Roman Empire, but back then it was just a niche indie startup with a humble jewish founder who knew nothing of capitalism but was very good at marketing, administration and "doing more with less"
I think Apple will go bust in about 15 to 20 years time. Unless they become a government supplier of tech (which is what Microsoft is already) they won’t last long with their phones and computers. There is a gradual shift in society towards more stoic way of life and being cool (the main marketing gimmick of Apple) will last only for a small amount of time.
In terms of phones, because Apple is the only company making iphones, Apple had a unique advantage. The Android space was decimated by Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi devices, wiped out all the profit for Android side of things. Its why big companies like LG quit the market and Sony has pretty much wound down its formerly massive mobile operations to a skeleton crew.
You mention Warner Media staying around yet Nokia which you picture saying companies go bust during a market crash; is way older and has been around since the 1860’s. Nokia is more likely to last compared to Warner Media
Since the Roman civilization evolved and adapted with the times, like the video suggests for business, to become the "Byzantine Empire we are talking about almost 2000 years of history for that civilization. Maybe it would not have been a bad idea to merge with it lol
I could totally see Apple around in a 100 years. Google? Not sure. Microsoft? Not sure. But Apple I can see, even if they would be only a shadow of today‘s company, they could certainly be around in the future, if they continue to adapt.
I think Apple will be the company that makes it into history books for it eventual collapse. I am a fan of Apple computers yet not the mobile devices so much. If viable in 100+ years will it be the same industry?
Since industry revolution , human' s life styles are much different from agricultural societies. So what if new model of civilization is needed in order to envole ? Like to stay on the moon ,but will let people spend less time on enjoyment(it's hard to get entertainment in space anyway)~Are people willing to do that,or just wait it out ?
Lol what a comparison with Rome, Rome even in their ancient kingdom times existed before the Japanese construction company (which only existed around 470 years after Christ died), while the Western Roman Empire fell before even reaching 500 ad, the Eastern Roman Empire stood still for another thousand year--while it is agreeable that the Western Roman Empire only changed regime since the people were still the people, it is debatable since we're not so sure if the main framework of the Roman Empire is still the same with the later Western Empires (in the latter days of the Empire, of course Christianity became the dominant cultural ethos and it since then changed some of the ways in the Empire)
More tips for helping you last for 1,000 years: don't be a jerk, treat others with respect, don't be driven by greed, play the long game and beware of the short profit, make sure every deal is win-win. Earn those thousand years: Make sure that most others around you actually _want_ you to last a millennium.
