      Will you ever make a history of the Balkans? In your Orthodox civilization video you didn't mention anything about Bulgaria, which wrote the cyrrilic script, made the title tsar,bolyar,bogotyr, influenced Russian literature and the Renaissance and old Bulgarian(old church Slavonic) was official in Eastern Europe for 2 centuries, influencing Russian into what it is now. Maybe you can make up for it in a video about the Balkans.
      The reason why I'm interested in such a video is because even tough thousands of years have passed, the people are still the same. The Thracians were fierce warriors with numerous numbers, but were also drunkyards who got conquered by the Romans, not so much trough fighting, but trough their politicians' betrayal who sold themselves to the Romans. Centuries later into the Roman empire, the Thracians forgot their language and started to supply the Empire with soldier. The same thing is true today, when our politicians sell themselves to whoever is the dominant civilization, trying to be like them, with the intelligentsia hating on the general population and using English Grammer and words in their language. Bulgaria for example owes it's freedom to Russia, which liberated it, historically speaking we don't hate each other, but since now we are with the West, we had to sanction them first. We want to become bigger Americans, than the American themselves.It's very weird because it appears nationalistic on the outside, but it's a very insecure society, constantly criticizing itself. Ask a Bulgarian what he thinks of other Bulgarians and he will say terrible stuff. There is even this character called ,,Bay Ganio" , which is supposed to be a metaphor for the Bulgarian ppl. For example in a joke, instead of saying a Bulgarian,french,German...you can say Bay Ganio,french,German... And Bay Ganio originates from a book of Aleko Konstantinov, Ganio is a very terrible person,lazy,evil,liar, and overall simpletonish. I was even ashamed as a kid of Bulgaria, it is finally in my teenhood I learned more from the internet about my country we don't learn in School that I became more patriotic. We also can't get united behind anything, and all Bulgarian know this and say it. So I always wondered what caused us to be this way so I know what can be done about it.
      The Balkans is a region that hasn't been explored seriously, as you can see most of the videos about the Balkans are just memes, but this place is the center of Earth, geographically speaking. Many empires went trough here changing the place - Persians,Greeks,Romans,Franks,Crusaders,Magyars,Huns,Mongols,Ottomans,Germans,Soviets,Americans now. It is the place where the supposed flood of Noah happened, where possibly the garden of Eden could have been located, the place of the first civilizations (Vinca culture, Varna culture,Minoans) and just until recently, historically speaking, it was one of the richest places on Earth, with Constantinople being located there.
      I think such video will be interesting, especially because not much has been written about the Balkans, all the videos I ever saw about the Balkans were incorrect and I also have the doubt you will manage to make a detailed and proper video on the region, since it's just too complicated. Take for example how in your Orthodox civilization video you mentioned nothing of Bulgaria.

      AI and automation would be the determining factor:
      - it will either secure most of the human needs (like food. health care, etc),
      and the human population would not have to worry about the reduction of manpower to support an ageing society.
      thereby they could arrive to a smaller but more stable population limit more conducive to the formation of small sustainable "tribes" than large and dense urban cities.
      Basically a "Robot Utopia"
      - or the "robot utopia" will hasten human extinction similar to the mouse utopia experiments,
      where the lack of agency and purpose
      (couple with the creation of effective substitute to gratify the need for intimacy and sexual urges - like an "A.I. girlfriend/boyfriend" and sex androids)
      reduce humanity into an irrecoverable state of decadence and progressive biological decline.

      Did 4.5 Grams of proprietary tryptamine blend yesterday for a breakthrough experience. Came to the same general conclusion as this video and comment thread. Our society is toast, although the question is whether the technocratic occultist will succeed in creating embody AGI to overcome the collapse of society (aka nutrient production, shelter and protection) so they can continue their decadence while the rest of us die off or kill each other. It wasnt the most pleasant trip but very informative...
      Basically dissociated from myself and viewed my experience as a human animal from that of an alien or something like that.saw the birth of embodied AI as the next stage in evolution of existence. Couple this with some religious overtones. Pretty trippy trip. Again not pleasant.

      Do not stay complacent, you have agency to mold your life, although hard, only those with true resolve can be bestowed the right to great impact. Our society created slaves of ourselves as a defence mechanism to not ruin the world, just as the rats did, but we have the ability to orient our lives to not face this current reality due to our social intelligence and critical thinking abilities. That is why humans prevail and overcome these mass deaths. We all posses this gift of the mind as we navigate a very important century of our species being, what we hold as our base values and strive for in life will progress our human kind for centuries, centuries, and centuries to come. We must look towards a positive society to continue this cycle so that we may finally find an enlightened society which may seemingly interact with the world, while upholding the physical and intellectual biology of our being. I cannot say for certain what that state may look like in the future but I can give my all to orient my future generations to excellence. Do your part.

    When I was young, like late childhood pre-teen (I'm turning 30 this year), I thought I was extremely luck to have been born in the peak of human civilization. Almost our major problems were solved and the one's that still weren't it seen that with our quasi magical ever evolving technology and economic progress it would be inevitable that they would soon enough. Them as a late teen and young adult, I started to see the pattern that nothing really changed for the better, politically and economically it seemed that we were running in cycles, and a increased slow decay that seem to be accelerating was taking place while the political, corporate and "intelectual" class were gasligthing us that minor things were the problem to keep we fighting each other while they sacked us harder and harder. I started to study more economy (specially the austrian school of economics, the only one that deals with reality and precisely described what the hell is happening to the economy), history, philosophy (specially politicial philosophy) and sociology, and them I started to realize that I probably was born in the worst period on history. The collapse of the largest and most powerful empire in the history of humanity (the closest anyone ever got to a world empire) and with it, it would drag the entire world down. Which the addition of modern technology in the mix that could make this the most destructive of all civilizational collapses. The brief moment of tranquility of my birth and infancy was just the eye of the storm, now it's moving again and it will wreck everything in it's path.
    Brace yourselves, and lucky will be the one that are born after this mess has sorted itself and the survivors have rebuilt the world.

    The 'conservative rural people will inherit the earth' thing might be comforting to you, but I don't think it will pan out in reality. During population declines (such as the one in Japan right now) rural places lose out more on economic opportunities as the economy contracts. If you go out into Japan all the young people are moving out of rural towns into the cities. Rural towns in japan are dying, stagnant, and old. Then the young ex-rural people adopt the habits of the urban population and choose to have less children in order to maximize their economic advantage. I expect urbanization to continue even as the population plummets.

      In the short term, yeah you are probably right, but not in the long term. In the shorter term there will be a feedback loop that further accelerates population decline from the country. Cities have jobs but not a working population to fill them. High wages to be had in city relative to country because of this. People come from country to take jobs to thrive. They take on city lifestyle of birth rates, etc... and within a generation or 2, they contribute to urban population decline which requires more people from the country to replace. In the end people that own land and farm the country won't be incentive to leave their land for the city and will likely stay there and maybe those are the conservative rural people that will ultimately repopulate the earth that the video talks about. Remember, the video states something like 90% population collapse ultimately. A lot of people can still leave the countryside in the meantime with plenty left to be a new foundation in the future.

      It’s also possible that population decline doesn’t have the same affects this time as it has historically. Remember that those collapses always happened to a population that had been more or less consistent for 10,000 years. We may just return to our real population size, and if it happens to everyone equally then there will be little or no relative advantage world for by fine with a pop of just one billion, it may do so again.

    • @Eric__J
      @Eric__J หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      It will for a while, just not forever. Eventually, the rural population decline results in food becoming completely unavailable or unaffordable, which will force the few remaining people to leave the cities or die of starvation. Anything that severely reduces the food supply will be devastating for cities. How mechanization and corporate farm consolidation plays out will be interesting to see.
      The handful that retreats to rural areas early enough with sufficient skills will end up surviving long-term and their wealth of nutrition will result in having more children.
      Most in the US, even city people like me, are no more than a couple of generations removed from family farms.

I often send my CV, to even the minimum wage jobs, and either they won't answer me, even with a "no", or if i manage to get the interview, even if i won't say that i have autism, probably the employers could feel that i "act weird" or something, and then they would only say that "we will call you back", and then they never do.
      But going back to my parents - I told them that no matter if I would work for one day in my life, half a year, few years or more... I probably won't have pension, or The pension would still be almost nothing, at least not enough to sustain myself.
      The reason is that in Poland, the pension system uses something called repartition system (a.k.a "solidarity system") - basically, the young people fund the pensions of the elderly... The problem with that system, in context of Demographic crisis is well... There would not be enough young people to fund pensions for elderly, or at least, there wouldn't be enough money.
      So even if I or any other people in my age, would work for years, we would probably have very low pensions, if any at all (one guy, who was responsible for the institution responsible for the money for pensions, said in many interviews and talks with people, that there is literally no money, and that the pension system nowadays is basically something akin to pyramid scheme...

      I couldn't agree more. I am from the Netherlands, but I have been living in Poland for about 5 or 6 years in three different cities. The ''solidarity'' system here seems mostly designed to keep the old people as comfortable and happy as possible at the expense of the younger generation and, frankly, the whole society. The whole notion that you should get a job because of the pension (same argument made by parents all throughout Europe) is delusional at this point. They can kick the can down the road a while longer, but the way it is right now is unsustainable. The pension will either be worthless or non-existent unless the whole system is reformed. An additional problem here (correct me if I am wrong), is that the elderly stay at home for as long as possible whereas in other countries it is quite common for people to move into care homes at a certain age (if they can afford it and if there is space). This makes it even tougher for young folks to find an affordable house, and causing many to live in small boxes, which isn't conducive for having babies.

      I remember that back in High school (2014-2015), we had a thing called "enterpreneurship basics" - and the teacher (who was also a Civics teacher) there, during one lesson, was talking about pension systems - One that was basically saving for yourself for the future or something, basically you put the money, save them for the future and they are yours...
      And another was that solidarity one...
      While the teacher from middle school would have agreed with me (as to why, i would say in the moment) - her views, from what i saw (as a person with autism, i had to learn to read people to just understand them), were more like socialdemocratic or something...
      And basically she was like "the solidarity system is better"
      and was reading the history of it etc. And even back then, in 2014-2015, when probably not that many people were talking about population crisis or something -
      when i learned that this system was created (at least in poland) in like 50s-60s (so the time when there was baby boom), i pointed out that this system is completely faulty, compared to that second one, because it depends on young people paying for the pensions of the elderly - and what this system would do, when there is more elderly than young people?
      And she was like "no, no, you're wrong, there is a possibility of course, but this system probably has some safety measures if this would happen"
      As to what kind of "safety measures", she never described them (probably because there were not any XD)
      And for comparison - I Said that the Civics teacher from the middle school would have agreed with me - well, because he was a libertarian - the first thing he did with so called "core curriculum", was to throw it in the trash - for the three years of middle school, he was teaching by his own way, and at the final exams, we were basically the only class that all have the Final scores way above 80%. Because instead of teaching us "by the book", to "just pass the exam", he thought us how to think, how to understand the topic, not to just "fit into exam key to pass" or something...

    Watching the economy collapse of 2008 and watching the inflation that followed then the world shut down in 2019 to 2021 and the sky rocketing housing cost and the largest homeless population in years with no way of getting back on your feet.
    It was bound to happen. But that's the beauty of it all. Humans are adaptable. If no one will listen to our pleas for help then we will eradicate ourselves.

With initially the TV and now the internet in everyone's pocket, everyone has a glimpse and access to these comfortable areas and so naturally they don't want to settle for the rural lifestyle.

    Urban, secular societies don’t survive because they have no means to feed themselves once society has collapsed. The city of Rome is a great example of this; at the height of its power and population around the time of Caracalla, Rome had over 2 million people living there. After the collapse of the western Roman Empire, it was a long slide to the bottom until right before the Renaissance, the population of Rome hovered around 25,000 people and there were packs of wolves hunting in the ruins of the great city. It takes unbelievably complex and powerful logistical systems to keep any big city going. Generally, those systems can handle small hits and upsets, but if they lose 20% efficiency that’s when they start to unravel in an unstoppable spiral. This can’t stop until the city hits a size where the people inside can get their needs met by the immediate surrounding countryside without stripping it bare. This coming population collapse will put an end to every great population center in the world. It will be a thousand years before the world recovers to a point where they can become full again.

      Tangent for those interested. (I'm going off of memery so details will be sparse, but can be found readily by googling or youtubing)
      I can't remember if it was a verified prophecy or private revelation, but it stated that after the current chastisement there would be one thousand years of peace.
      To put that into context chastisements occur in three parts:
      The physical chastisement which in this case were the first and second world war, the spiritual chastisement which would be modernity and the heresy of modernism, and finally repentence if it didn't happen earlier.
      The prophesies of the Church are generally quite compelling, for instance the world wars were very clearly prophesied in detail before they happened.
      Modernity had so much trouble reconciling the miracles associated with some prophecies that they had to invent the concept of mass hysteria, because too many people agreed that they had seen contradictions to natural law.

    • @UrbanBard1

      History is complicated. Rome was conquered many times, but all this meant was that romanized germans took control. The centers of civilization moved north toward Gaul and east to Constantinople.There was little reason for Rome to exist. It was not a trading crossroads. It was just a political center which was no longer needed. The "Dark Ages" were not really dark. They were just decentralized.
      We will be going through something similar in our future. Big cities are no longer needed. They will fade away. Most of the cities on the East coast were harbors for trade with Europe. But, Europe is in demographic collapse. It is an export economy with few young people. Muslim migrants will turn it into a wasteland and no one will care.
      The Internet and a good transportation system have ended our need for big cities. Jobs will be returning from China and new factories will be build away from areas controlled by the left and trade unions. Our new supply chains stop being east to west. They will be from north to south between Canada, the US, Mexico, Latin and South America. Japan, Australia, India and Vietnam will be small trading partners. Africa, Europe and most of Asia will have no consequence to us.
      If there is prosperity, then women will have large families again. Expect rural people, devout Catholics and orthodox jews to become dominant. Such people tend to be conservative.
      Many people around the world will want to escape the chaos of a world wide depression, so they will come here. That is fine if they are not moochers. We will welcome them if they come to work. But... America must end its welfare state.Credit will be tight. America can no longer afford a large bureaucracy, so government workers will need to get jobs in the economy.

    This is the major problem with having a population boom after a war. When you stop having the boom, it will seem like a collapse even though it isn't. Population is just settling. Population is still growing, even in western countries and that's not accounting for immigration. The thing is that people live a really long time. You could have 1 child and that would still be population increase because of how long people live and how few people pass on. By the time people pass on, the original elderly people would have had 1 kid, and that kid would have had 1 kid, and that kid would have 1 kid, and that kid would have 1 kid. THat's 4 people for 2 people who have passed on. That's still an increase in people.

    Being something of a minor scholar in collapse-ology, I can say that societal collapse is rarely an all or nothing thing. Some areas will do quite well. Other areas will be completely devastated. Also, societal collapses don't always result in dark ages either.

      America is undergoing considerable change. Our current big cities are facing the wrong direction toward Europe or the far east. Both of those locations will be dying off from demographic collapse over the next few decades. Also, our current big cities have a leftist bias, a strong trade union presence and a coercive political class. The People in those cities are voting with their feet to move south. New York City is becoming a hell hole.
      According to Peter Zeihan, jobs and factories will be returning to the US, because the trade lanes will become increasingly risky. The big cities are out, because It is hard to build something new while you are fighting off political weasels. So, a small to medium town or city in the US, on a navigable waterway, would get most of those returning jobs and factories.
      America's supply chains will be reoriented from east and west. The new supply chains will be down from Canada, the US, Mexico toward assembly plants built in Columbia. The US Navy can cheaply protect the Americas. The rest of the world? Nah.
      The people living in the small towns and cities are exactly the one's who want to have children. The parents will have good jobs so they can afford to have children and possess enough land so that the kids can freely run around in. They have a culture which fosters home, family and independence.

Capitalism needs continuing growth to generate returns on investments whether that be stocks or real estate, while communism requires a growing population to feed its welfare systems with new taxpayers.
      The only country on earth that has attempted to solve this problem without trying to delay its onset with mass immigration is Japan. They did it by offshoring all of its manufacturing capabilities overseas so that they can continue to produce while reaping the benefits by taxing their companies to enable their welfare systems. It’s not a long term solution since the whole world is in the midst of collapse, but it’s working for them in the present moment.

    The scariest part of mouse utopia for me is that eventually the 'evil mice' and 'beautiful ones' eventually go around and slaughter any mice who try to re-establish cohesive relationships.
    As someone who wants to have kids and talks about it with my girlfriend after we get married it scares me that society may eventually become violently opposed to me and my family.

      Empowering women is the most effective way to reduce fertility rates and achieve a sustainable population size that respects the limits of Earth’s carrying capacity. The number of years a woman has spent in education is usually inversely correlated with the number of children she will bear in her lifetime. - Quote from population matters. There are many articles that say the same thing. The important thing is we need to continue marching toward equality. Let's get those numbers to zero people!

      That won’t last long in the U.S. since the borders tend to be slammed shut once the foreign born population reaches roughly 15% and right now we’re at 13.9% so we’re very close to that tipping point. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if both democrats and republicans are onboard with the idea after the 2024 election since this tends to be a historical thing. The last time we slammed the border shut was around 1932 and it was closed until the 1960’s.

      We obsess over freedom, yet what do we do with that freedom?
      Get addicted to drugs and wind up homeless?
      Create monopolies on different industries through loopholes?
      Play “oppression Olympics” then demonize the “privelleged” and ignore any of their own plights, then play victim when they lash out and use it to push anti gun rhetoric?
      Glorify dependency on hormones and invasive cosmetic surgery to deal with mental illness then defame anyone that dares question the legitimacy of the practice?
      Continue burning fossil fuels? Litter and throw trash into national parks?
      My brother in Christ, they are antagonistic to our culture as our culture is cancer. Refugees culture is the answer as it has been developed free from our depravity.

      America is in a much better position with Mexicans and Guatemalan than the Europeans are with the Islamic population. I’m not trying to take away from cultural conservatives that want to maintain the population, but having Mexican immigrants is definitely a problem and beats the alternative.

    Some people say that the world that will rise after this devastating crisis we are entering will be better than what we have now. I don't see that happening. Look at us now. We live in nations that if they are democratic and capitalist are far from perfect, yet they are the only nations with any freedom. The rest of humanity lives in repressive states or states that are toltarian or dictatorial with little or no freedom. Even if some sort of initial utopia should come, it will never work for long unless a brutal toltarian or dictatorship rules. Then you have freeless and abusive government so you are back to a terrible government where the people are worth nothing. Perhaps a new democracy may arise but it won't be long before infighting and divisions arise. Then pieces will breakaway and become versions of what we have today. No utopia unless it is a mockery of utopia in a police state.

    “Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful”. This quote from investing legend Warren Buffet applies to more than just investing. I sacrifice today, working my hands to the bone to have children I can barely afford because I believe having children that love and respect you as adults in 20-30 years is one of the surest ways to provide long term security for myself and my wife.
