The cold, bloody calculus of war. as much as we try to humanize it war is a question of numbers. every war begins and ends with numbers.The xenos thought that the numbers were on their side, they thought wrong and payed the ultimate price. Sun Tzu would be proud of humanity's tactics.
It's not just numbers. It's the raw numbers and the combat multipliers. Force A can have 10,000 soldiers each with a combat value of 1. Force B can have 20,000 soldiers each with the same combat value. However, Force A has logistics that multiply the effectiveness of each soldier by 2 and artillery which multiply their effectiveness by 2 again. Which gives force A an effectiveness of 40,000. Force B has logistics that do not multiply the effectiveness of their soldiers and artillery that multiply by 1.5. So instead of Force B outnumbering force A 2 to 1, force A outnumbers force B by 1.3 to 1.
I am getting more used to the new style of your video's. It's impressive how much simple things like facial expressions and simple handgestures add to a story being told. Keep up the good work.
NUCLEAR mines. Reminds me of "Earth Force Lexington Vs Minbari Black Star" (Babylon 5 series, I think there's a video clip still on TH-cam) when humans were aware that Minbari hunted down their ships and destroyed them even when sending distress calls due to being disabled, so first they mined the asteroid field around them with nukes, then sent the distress signal...
I was shocked to find out you were also doing visual narration now and I had to check out what I had missed since I last visited and of your break. Keep up the good work!
For the first time. FOR THE FUCKING FIRST TIME!!! The narrator/creator that I’m listening to actually fucking looks like how I imagined him based off his voice. My life is complete I can now die happy.
I was expecting a posh British gentleman with a cup of tea and a top hat. That is a viking. A motorcycle road warrior. ZZ Top. And that guy from myth busters. Agro, you Sir, have bamboozled me with that voice!
I once saw a statement that was basically "the galaxy wouldn't know how to deal with a sapience that descended from hyper-specialized pursuit predators if there was ever a reason for that sapience to be hostile." Anyone picking a fight with humans would find out real darn fast that humans can weaponize _almost anything._ Including math.
Nice one, I am curious if you will be picking back up any of the series you were covering before your medical treatment. They were incredibly entertaining.
This is not mathematics. This is the hubris of a people that have decided they cannot have made a mistake. I spit on this vile representation of my profession.
For the record.... 7,234,812 simulations. And that number also ran on 357 different computer systems. That is 2,582,827,884 total simulations. There was no error. They all concluded the same thing. That they would have tried to enslave, torture, and kill Humanity. When it's the Species on the line, NOTHING is excessive. I completely agree with the outcome.
Well, this is assuming the modeling is flawless. And modeling always has flaws and simplifications (or lack thereof) that are(n't) present in reality. It was the safe bet, the smart move... but it doesn't make it a "good" thing to do.
@@jazermano -- Besides, just because there isn't currently "a math" (to my knowledge anyway) that accurately predicts things, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist at all. To be so arrogant about it is a mind set that shouldn't be entertained.
I feel like total extermination was excessive. Take apart their empire? Sure. Obliterate all their ships and shipyard to deprive them of interstellar travel. Okay. But total extermination? I'd like to think genocide would still be considered a bad thing in this math based future. So instead of total extermination, these aliens should have been say... bombed back to the Stone Age (at least on worlds where they were the only inhabitants), quarantine the survivors, and then hope in the distant future when their descendants have clawed their way back to space faring status that they've learned to play nice with their neighbors.
Total extermination *WAS* the only option, every single simulation they did showed as such, they did want to do it but when faced with a hostile entity as they found in the imperium… Extermination was the only way
The math showed hope was stupid and would lead to extermination. Your feelings would lead us to crimes our worst tyrants would outlaw, which is why they used AIs to make the decision and not soft, papered, middle class low imagination people such as yourself.
Nah. 7,234,812 simulations. And that number also ran on 357 different computer systems. That is 2,582,827,884 total simulations. There was no error. They all concluded the same thing. That they would have tried to enslave, torture, and kill Humanity. When it's the Species on the line, NOTHING is excessive. I completely agree with the outcome.
Considering how some of these stories make pop culture references, was half expecting that number of probabilities to be the same as Doctor Strange. Looked it up to check, in Avengers Infinity War, Doc says 14.000.605. So roughly double the number of simulations from this story.
Greetings Mentlegent For the Rhyhtm that is Algo I was going to make some kind of math joke here, but in spite of everything, I still felt sorry for the Raddians. Or at least the last of them, anyway.

Cool story. A bit fanciful. Except galaxies don’t revolve around the universe‘s center of origin. They’re actually moving away from each other since the beginning due to dark energy. Essentially, every point in the universe, even your person and the space you currently inhabit, is the point, the epicenter of the Big Bang.
It's a shame to cause the extinction of any species. But when dealing with a species that literally has no concept of peace and coexistence, you do what you must.
I figure it is done that way to hide segment reshoots/edits. There is no way he gets the entire story down in one go every time. By having the staggers, it isn't noticeable if he took a break between paragraphs for any reason. It also seems futuristic.
Cultural, social and spiritual beliefs heavily engrained on their "Divine Right" to do as they please to the universe, means you can never hope to 'start over' after defeating such a civilization. Unless you're willing to wipe out everyone but the babies, from the children to the adults, the eventual seed of revenge and the seeking of lost glory, would simply grow and cause trouble again.
@OddlyIncredible nah that's BS, you can't have a perfect equation for something like that. It's impossible, the only way they could is if they gave it a tiny resource allocation for reform. Heck even in first contact they have the 1% line where they push a civilization back to their home world and force them to develop again. I refuse to believe in an absolute no hope genocide. There's no society without the diversity or adaptability to change for the better. I'll make acceptions for more evenly matched situations where it's us or them, or if they're irrational bio weapon style single minded weapons of mass destruction. This was an entire society though with whole populations
As a species, we understand the phrase "peace was never an option" more than we understand when it actually is.
Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake . 😂

Am I the only one who sees humanity as the empire?
Humanity in this story did pull something similar(but far more extreme then) what the Romans did to Carthage and on similar reasoning.

Spurred on , not spurned on.
You dont seem to understand, the universe isnt yours to conquer.
Even if you win the war, the war must continue until all who are responsible are dealt with. In this case, the ending of this story was justified.
