- www.ted.com Why do societies fail? With lessons from the Norse of Iron Age Greenland, deforested Easter Island and present-day Montana, Jared Diamond talks about the signs that collapse is near, and how -- if we see it in time -- we can prevent it.

21 years later his talk still falls on deaf ears!
21 years later and he still hasn't found a sympathetic barber.
Somewhere around 13 to 14 minutes into the speech, he mentions the current year as 2003. Where did you get 21yrs? Simple math error? Or am I the only one without a DeLorean and flux capacitor. If I heard him correctly, his talk was 17 years ago. While your central point is valid, accuracy on material facts is still important. As a society, we obviously need to manage our resources as well as relationships with each other and our environment, and influence our outcomes as much as possible with sustainable decisions.
You mean 12?
No
auraguard02 Mr. Diamond said 2003 so 17 years ago!
A great civilization destroys itself from within before it is conquered by outsiders!
Usally from people who think they are really intelligent. Lol
Like Trump!
It will be interesting to see how our current political situation will be looked at in the future. Also, I wonder if those who are acting in their own interests realize it will come out eventually and history will not be so kind...

1. Human impact on environment, resource destruction.
2. Climate Change.
3. Relationship change with allies.
4. Relationship change with enemies.
5. Politic, economic, social conditions.
Truth not quite, morals include having family values, these values require security, jobs, food, education etc, this is what civilization is supposedly built on. All this takes resources, resources aren’t infinite, the rule of the jungle returns not because of a lack of morals but because of a lack of resources. When humans can’t get the things they desire they take it from others. The taking happens now, but the elites disguise it as legislation and commerce, but ostensibly its plain theft.
well I disagree with his "woe is us we discovered agriculture" interpretation - it is certainly true that bad practices can cause soil erosion and depletion - over fertilization raises salinity, mono cultures and pesticides do their harm - Perkins pointed out a lot of this a century before Diamond - but as for climate change we know for a fact it always has and it's unlikely we can alter it any more than a water beetle alters the course of a river. some have said that wars ultimately are fought over resources - land, water, minerals, forests, fishing grounds, hydrocarbons - can't argue with that but I have a notion that some of the earliest scuffles were between a tribe that worshiped the Moon versus one that worshiped the Sun, so ideology has to be taken into account - certainly the last couple thousand years has been between Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and Pagans and I think it's not untrue to say it was over cotton or gold but it's a little simplistic
@Truth I believe your concern comes under number 5. Political, economic, social, and cultural factors that make it likely they will solve their problems.
However, conservatives don't solve problems because it takes change to solve problems and conservatives, by definition, don't want change.
He is just recapping whats in his boolk
in other words.... everything!
I look at who is in control, how well educated they are, what their motives are, what they say and what they do and I can only conclude that we are doomed.
The best type of person that can fit into a place of power is the type of person who doesn't want to do it, but everyone else wants him to. There, the majority either sees something in a person that that person does not, or at the very least then the man or woman won't want to dissappoint.
Of course the latter is more of an ideal then realistic, but the first has at least some merit.

Chris Hedges has been telling you in every book, article, and lecture of his since 2004.
The Democratic party is beyond reform, and it doesn't want to. The ONLY sane move at this point is to #DemExit and mass revolt. All else is contributing to the perpetuation of criminal neoliberalism, warmongering, and ecocide.
Just because it has the word liberal in it does not mean its a democrat ideology. Quite the opposite, do your home work. A simple Wikipedia search...
@@Revolution-tl5wo Neoliberalism is contemporarily used to refer to market-oriented reform policies such as "eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers" and reducing state influence in the economy, especially through privatization and austerity.[6] It is also commonly associated with the economic policies introduced by Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom and Ronald Reagan in the United States.(wikipedia "neoliberalism")
Probably the algorithm simply tries to tell you to buy his book, "Collapse - how societies choose to fail or succeed". I found it a good book, thought provoking.
@@Revolution-tl5wo Okay...I get your point. But won't your solution lead to a situation where one group of people ends up (assuming the success of your revolt) imposing their will upon the rest of the community (however you wish to define that term)...vey similar to what Trump and the Republicans were/are trying to do?
"So it's particularly difficult to change course when the things that get you in trouble are the things that are also the source of your strength" --- The key therefore is for society to recognize this and successfully overcome the inhibition to change.
So, fossil fuels?
Yeah what if that same attitude to change.. ie try to adapt.. is one of the strengths of that community?
Btw.. that is one of the strengths of a lot of communities of past and present.
@@bryanstark1930 Attitude is one thing, technology and its effects are another.

As a child I learned about the origin story of Superman. (Yes, Superman.)
The planet Krypton was obviously destroying itself, but Superman's father, Jor-El, could not convince the elite, a council of elders, to institute change. Just before the planet is destroyed Jor-El places his son in a spaceship to save him.
I always thought the story was too much of an imaginative leap. Certainly no society with obvious evidence of self-destruction would continue down such a path. WITHIN MY OWN LIFETIME, I have seen the possible crisis of climate change become increasingly certain and watched large, powerful people opt to do nothing, and in fact, actually work against mitigating a coming global disaster.
Knowledge does not always yield insight and insight does not always yield corrective action, especially in the face of selfishness, greed and conservative social values that mock science and knowledge and fear change and keep us as a society from preventing or significantly mitigating the coming epochal disaster.
It turns out the Superman origin story has more wisdom in it than I gave it credit.
When a society becomes consumers instead of producers. It declines!
boomers instead of coomers
His book _Collapse_ says most societies die for the same reasons, poor job adapting to the environment, or they messed up their environment, or became huge and dependent on a central government which failed them when natural resources changed, people starved or died of thirst, or destroyed because they destroyed their forests and thus all their natural resources, like Rapa Nui/Easter Island did, cut down all of their trees to make big huge statues to compete with each other.
@@AdamWestish 100% correct! All great societies become overwhelmed by both consumerism and environmental collapse. Unfortunately we
Are taking the world down
with us on this collapse.
America has lost it’s reason to be/exist.
Nonsense. Without consumers the producing society will collapse. You need a balance of both.

The society has been resilient against all odds: terrorism, disease, hunger etc. The population has been steadily increasing and Somalis known as business oriented are one of the major investors in the neighboring countries.

I actually asked that question on Quora .. www.quora.com/Is-there-a-reason-that-the-opening-and-ending-sound-cues-for-TED-talks-are-so-loud
“Where there is a conflict of interest between the short-term interest of the decision making elites, and long-term interest of the society as a whole. Especially if the elites are able to insulate themselves from the consequences of their actions. Where what's good in the short run for the elite is bad for society as a whole, there's a real risk of the elite doing things that will bring the society down in the long run"

I see in a wikipedia article about him he dropped the comb over and looks much better. Very intelligent discussion as well.
I’m reading this book right now and the current events can’t be coincidence!
it's worse than it was a year ago i can assure that.
Loved his book, Collapse, but have since realized the main weakness in his arguments is the confusion of "society" with "nation". The collapse of the Soviet Union is not an example supporting his case. That was a failed nation not a failed society. For further reference, read "Why Nations Fail" by Acemogly and Robinson. However, in the timescale of human history, his premises have merit.
A moral collapse that is attacking the family, the basic building block of society. You can lose your money and get more, but if you lose your moral compass you are lost with no way home.
The Soviet Union was a union of nations, not a nation in and of itself. It failed because the nations split up. It was a collapse of a society/civilization.
His comment about Greenlandic vikings not being able to smelt iron due to deforestation is not accurate. The vikings used what we call bog iron, derived from burning peat in kilns. Greenland was warmer when they first settled there, but the Little Ice age and encroaching glaciers significantly impacted life, ultimately making herding and farming untenable. As it was, the long winters resulted in their livestock being kept indoors so long that they had to be carried outside in the spring due to severe muscular atrophy. As the climate cooled and the winters lengthened, they could no longer sustain themselves that way. I don't believe that it was much forested when they arrived so the impact of supposed deforestation is debatable; the vikings were adept with life in cold climates, as evidenced by their heritage in Iceland and Norway.

@@spiritsplice he has an agenda
Right. And speaking as a Montanan (and not just a one-summer hired hand)... his assessment of this state's economic and ecological situation led me to tag him IYI (Intellectual Yet Idiot). He reminds me of the urbanites who think ranches consist of one cow in a neatly mowed paddock, and believe hamburger comes from McDonald's.
Also reminds me of how archeologists tend to seize on anything they can't identify as "used in rituals", and what they don't find as "never developed". As someone points out below, the lack of fishhooks doesn't mean they refused to eat fish (lutefisk, anyone?), it just means they used nets, like everyone else who routinely relies on ocean fish for dinner.
As to the common speculation that the Greenland Vikings disappeared into the native population... apparently not.

Misinformed, politically motivated and market manipulators destroyed logging income. Montana's economy was attacked by outside forces, most of whom thought they were helping.

🔊 The market is driven by greed and fear🤑
This is your fear and is not backed by history nor facts at hand. Humanity is rather resilient in the long run, despite challenges and mistakes, and technology often plays a substantial part of societal solutions which has not been taken into account whatsoever by this speaker. Pessimism proves to be just too damn easy and irresponsible rather than to work and solve problems. Study in humanities must be tempered with bonafide STEM fields. It is not a surprise that many professors (such as this speaker) present problems to justify unproven theoretical teaching employment while solving absolutely nothing in the practical world. It is a form of irresponsible bitching about life in an arrogant yet sophisticated facade.
@@johnkeller9738 Your negative feedback tempers runaway pessimism. However, in honour of the speakers approach, he has an overarching nonspecific approach to appreciating causal factors. Yet he never defined exactly what is societal collapse. You're right in that people are resilient, and working together can and do reform a functional society IE Soviet Union to Russia. But in some situations fail to rebound from the brink IE Easter Island. A healthy pessimism in an approach to societal collapse tempers a blase, uninformed stance to preparedness. From your comments I'll put you in blase box.

Jared Diamond is one of our great big picture thinkers. We should pay close attention to what he says.
+Scott Wallace Another guy who will end up taking some shine away from others who already have had some of the answers to that. Revolutions destroy societies so that that can be remade better. To ask yourself how to prevent a society from collapse is to attempt to keep the human race from moving forward. Were talking about a race that brutally murdered and tortured a man because he said he was the son of a God(Very well known story). Honestly when you think about it, nothing of value is really lost when society collapses. Anyone who thinks any different is an idiot.
Sagan McVander
Nothing of value is lost when a society collapses? If human lives have no value, then there's no point in further conversation.
There are two types of humans. Those who want to survive by becoming better at survival instincts and those who want to survive by becoming more wise and capable of wisdom for future generations. When a revolution occurs, only the survivalist ironically are the ones that are left without a society. History repeats itself and as you can tell, there isn't anything that will stop the "large number factor" involved in the direction our society is going, no matter what this guy comes up with as an answer. To resist this aspect of nature will only waste more lives in the long run really.
+Sagan McVander Are you depressed or something? I hope yiu have enough sense to value your own life if it would be lost. It is not always the case that societies can be replaced with something better when they are destroyed. Think of many instances when barbaric people destroyed a society and then it never recovered..

@Pancho Villa man you really got this whole thing figured out...
Diamond's book on this subject is a pretty good, if lengthy, read. He goes into great detail about all of the things he touches on only briefly here.
He's a quack; GGS and Collapse are both ahistorical nonsense that have not withstood scrutiny by anyone who knows what they're talking about. Questioning Collapse collects many such critiques into one place.
@@CripplingDuality I certainly have my critiques of the book as well, and like any work should be critiqued, it is deserving of it. He didn't spend as much time as I'd like looking at societal successes, which are certainly a display of systemic resilience. He focused a lot on island societies instead of larger inland empires. There are things to question in his analysis. However, I believe that his work being so widely academically panned is somewhat overstated. The work you referenced seems to be the major source of contention, with other reviews being critical and questioning without going to the lengths of calling anyone a "quack."
That said, I'll do some further looking into the work you referenced.
The strongest argument in the book was how people move across E-W more than N-S. The weakest was probably Easter Island, which probably did not destroy itself.
that ad at the end though 👌

Kade Jones, He looks back, and explains to you, with the brief time outlawed, how societies rise and fail, with examples. His ideas are now generally accepted in his field and others. It is not his intent, here, to solve the significant problems (no one person will!)-he tells you, with examples, how some societies of the past failed to develop solutions, which also are quite complex.
