    Coming from an electrical engineer in the industry rn. Solar punk is 100% possible. The factors standing in our way at the moment are: Politicians and fossil fuel lobbyists (and by extension, the propaganda they spout), and nothing else. We can make sustainable batteries (hydro storage, you can even use sand to retain heat in cold areas) We don't even have to get rid of fossil fuels 100%, if we switched to hybrid technology like diesel-electric power, our current reserves would last ages. But oil companies want us using as much as possible, that's why they push gas guzzling vehicles that do absolutely nothing for us

    Dig it. Couple tips though: noir is pronounced more like ‘no-are’. You said it more like ‘nor’. Noir is the French word for black. Also was pronounced strangely was ‘detritus’. It’s pronounced more like “de-try-tus”.

    Maybe there is a way for capitalism and Solarpunk to get along. IMO there is no need for all punk to be anti-government because the government could place the regulations necessary to prevent corporate abuse.

      Unfortunately, the capitalist model is directly opposed to any progress towards sustainability. This isn't even anti-government, this is likely closer to a socialist government model

    I saw a few of this AI stoic videos and felt rather unsatisfied. So yesterday I got my first book, thought it brings the continuity laking in my life to solid ground. After this video now I know I didn't need to do it I was always a stoic and growing out of that is actually what is missing. On the point just two mistakes I which I noticed. But the cynic part about it is more to my heart.

      thats not exactly how this works. i mean first off, if u just have the society we have today, put slap nuclear on it, nothing changes. google wants to build 7 new nuclear reactors, sounds cool right? except they want it for ai to give more wrong answers to google searches. nuclear isnt gonna do anything. especially since its so centralised. also, solarpunk isnt just current society but with solarpanels slapped on it. its moreso like what a solar oven can do for a community. we cant keep going with capitalism, its not working. thats what the punk part is for!! and, solar is alot easier to use in a decentralised way! using energy to make houses is pretty cool, using it to make bombs isnt so cool. but, a community can quite easily use things like solar, wind, water etc to get their own energy for many things! and then make that society less dependent on the capitalist structure around it. THATS what solarpunk is. us working together to actually improve our lives, and not depending on the crappy capitalism hellscape around us.

    Very good! Nice to see the Solarpunk story. Well told. Have to mention ‘Demolition Man’ though, eventhough its not an anarchist society, its very solarpunk in other respects. And worth mentioning.

    As a fellow small philosophy channel creator, I really appreciate content like this. I would just add a bit more pictures and quotes from Diogenes to make it easier to visualize and stay engaged in the video. Commentary is absolutely phenomenal though keep up the great work!

    I am pretty sure all those leaders were warned beforehand of his odd insulting behavior. The leeway he had suggests he was noticably "internally conflicted" In those times they might have thought he was punished by the gods. Which made him touched by the gods, even if it was a slap in the face.

    "He didn't consider it begging because he was charging people money in exchange for the service of providing philosophical wisdom." I once thought that shame and confidence were on either side of a continuum. But now that I analyze the sheer magnitude of Diogenes' confidence in comparison to mine, I believe shame and confidence to be independent of each other.
