No, it's not the truth. The truth is action is the only thing that produces result. We can spend time in philosophy or we can spend time actually going out and making a difference. Understanding this does no good if people aren't out there doing something about it. A lot of people in the world have understood that climate change is a real problem, but a great proportion of them DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. For god sakes rally the people nearest to you to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WE FACE. Fuck!
John Garrison If action is reinforced by bad or fallacious ideas, there will be bad action. For action to end in good results, there needs to be those that have the capacity and time to think and formulate the good ideas upon whitch the action is based.
No, it is the truth, and you are also right. These kinds of thoughts are the absolutely essential keys to the plans we need - otherwise that reptilian mind will do whatever it wants without thinking. Like he said in the video - philosophy, science etc. All are necessary e.g. to discuss ethics, discussing the true problems. Also, if people are unreliable, that's no reason to simply get a select few. Most of these problems require nearly everyone's help. To that end, yes, we must then take ACTION.
Or it could be an alien archeologist in the future who discovered the 1995 documents of a debate between Carl Sagan and Ernst Mayr, an evolutionary biologist, who articulated humans are dead end species.
he wasse wrong...(sorry the correct word is INCOMPLETE) funny how humans after 1000's of years still c'ant se the diffrence between ancient instincts and there own intelligence... intellengence makes us grow....when we are in problems or in need, instincts take over... so its not our mind that is a terrible master...

We will kill ourselves because we don't trust our technology and will destroy it in fear of something new. If climate change wipes humanity out, it will be because we will either try to stop it, or contain it with terrible methods. We are afraid of new ideas, so we stick with the now-emptied liberal-capitalist philosophy. The world is about to change radically, and if we try to forcefully stop these changes, we can exterminate ourselves. The most important parts of life to focus on are reform of society, promotion of new thinking and lastly technological advances.
Yeah the scientists, philosophers and philanthropists arent running the show. That's the problem we just have capitolist puppets and puppet masters running it.
"In my job, I am always finding humans at their best and their worst. I see their ugliness and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both" ~Death
This world is too toxic and yet we have humans who don't believe it as such. They turn a blind eye when it's an inconvenience and won't care if someone falls.
As far as I remember, cultural antropologists say Human irresponsibility was not an issue in hunter-gatherer societies before the neolithic revolution. Then why are we so obsessed with biology?
Which is why we need to think on our own. Unlearn what society has taught us, like that wealth and appearances are the only way towards love and appreciation. Then we need to recruit free thinking people and forge our own happy communities that is outside of the norm. This will protect us from all harms and soon the happiness will spread, but don't let the amber be trampled.
It’s all due to social media… we interact with hundreds of people a day on the internet. So why would we care about a random person we come across, humans need to put down social media… but it will only get worse
Because we are the light that's barely getting through. Mainly because the vast majority doesn't want to step through. Which is what leads to the theoretical but most plausible case that we are the problem that can easily be fixed if we just took a moment to shut up and truly listen then maybe something glorious may happen.
Globalists will eradicate the vast part of humanity they find useless. A category without even the right to live. You think I'm kidding ? See please. To be complicate or simple is not really a subject here. Ordinary humans of the whole world seem to be blind. And the brainwash machine is on purpose to conduct you toward a mortal cliff.
There's one big problem with the "love of the stranger" solution, it takes two to agree on pursuing a mutual relationship without exploitation or killing each other and unfortunately, it would take everyone to simultaneously agree to peace while the one predatory person will take the opportunity to attack the naive infront of him
Its a paradoxical conclusion because as a design of the brain, trust in strangers would be universal. The issue here is that our brain cant even begin to comprehend what that would be like hence logically the first point that bubbles to the surface is that the trust must be mutual or one will exploit it. Just having that thought is the part of your brain that doesnt trust people. So we would never fully understand it other than as it is in theory.
Don't worry. There's a plan to murder almost everyone on the planet soon and then have neural implants in the few people the monsters who did it have kept alive, just so they can be their good obedient slaves. Then they'll just keep putting those implants in the offspring of the slaves they allow to breed to serve them while not putting them in their own bloodline so they can rule over humanity forever. And of course they'll keep the slave population to a minimum so as to not of over populate the planet again, or have to worry about a pesky rebellion from free thinkers. As a matter of fact, this is a promotional video they made in advance to show to the slave population to help brainwash them, with the help of the neural implants of course. So you can stop worrying, its all been figured out, the planet will be fine so you can stop worrying. Should be happening soon enough.
@@nikolas4347 i dont think powerful people would put in plants in us. But the idea of a secret group of people controlling the world's governments is very realistic.

Unfortunately you are all too right. Humanity is destined for disaster. Why? We haven’t learned how to work together as a whole. When we imagine intelligent aliens we imagine smart, powerful beings who fight wars in the vast landscape of space with powerful weapons that could destroy planets or each other, like Star Wars, and I️ think we could all agree on that, but i think we are imagining ourselves, if we make it to that point, but we can’t, because a successful civilization is one that works together to solve problems, and doesn’t give up too easily. One that has a clear idea of right and wrong. One that doesn’t fight wars between ourselves. Imagine if instead of a space race between the US and Russia, we worked together. The benefits of that would be otherworldly, and we would most likely have humans on Mars right now, but our competitiveness, our animal brain is there to tell us that we are here to survive for ourselves, not evolve. Does that make sense, I️ hope it does, if it doesn’t please tell me.
It’s so ironic. We have so many great things, love, empathy, helping each other, achieving fission, fusion, creating anti matter, basic space travel, visiting moons and planets, creating great music, literature, paintings, curing many diseases, not giving up even when thee situation is seemingly hopeless. But then there is the other side…ignorance, lies, greed, religion, separation, wanting to be more valuable than others, being vicious, hating, raping and hurting, killing hundreds of millions with weapons of biology, radiation, chemistry… This world could be heaven tomorrow, but we want it to be hell. Maybe one day we will wake up.
Dunno whats wrong with wanting to be more valuable than others and chemistry though. Chemistry is just what exists in this universe as and fire and water and if you want have life which you want you should want to be more valuable than others majority feels like mediocre
More flaws: A lack of self-awareness or relativism. We can build complex webs of logic and reason to defend our own actions, but we are hard-pressed to apply the same types of logic to the people we don't like (or who are different from us).
Related to tribalism: The idea of "if my group doesn't survive, then nobody should". I'm seeing some of that sentiment here in the comments. It's sort of a combination of pride and selfishness. I see it in several popular movements snaring more people and more media time.
I find that even when your own self awareness is improved once you've picked out your problems, and fixed them even, you find other peoples lack of it a problem aswell as their actions. logic is in most cases, absolute, a 1 or 0, more self aware people, would result in more people coming to the same conclusion (depending on the problem of course) which would mean there wouldn't be that much difference, unless the "problem" is purely subjective at which point its not problem only a decision and self aware people contending a decision would understand that its not a problem.
Relativism is not the way to go. One can and should understand that different people and groups have different situations and histories, and that those affect their present, but relativism implies there are different versions of the truth, which there are not. One can be aware of one's situation, and no one should ever doubt another's experience, but that doesn't mean they're correct in the broader interpretation of reality based on their experiences. Even the greatest philosophers have only ever hit on part of the truth. One has to be careful around the concept of relativism because it causes us to construct reality based on the flawed experiences of others, which is no better than constructing reality based on our own flawed experiences. It seems to me we're going to have to accept some level of people's preference for people "like themselves" (put in quotes because tribalism isn't exclusive to race, but also increasingly, ideology). We're going to have to accept that parts of our brains are animal and immutable. Find a way to make global cooperation work while not ignoring those things that are a part of ourselves for better or worse. I think that was the Left's mistake this go around. It wanted to move forward, wanted to be "evolved", never realizing that it was playing out many of the same animal behaviors in a different way, all the while accosting its opponents for doing the same. Facing reality means understanding that sometimes our systems, built as though they are on the ideas of altruism and common good, are still man-made systems that may not work like we thought they would. We have to understand when those systems don't work and try to find something that works better. Just because we did something for the common good doesn't mean it can't have unintended consequences that make it untenable, and if I had one major criticism of my chosen "side", it's that it has a hard time adapting to the idea that its interference can cause harm, too and that it should think outside the box for a minute. I'm a firm believer that something workable and survivable exists in the tension between what we want and what the other side wants (the reasonable element of that side, of course, as well as the reasonable element of our side, as extremism exists on both and is a problem with both), and that an ideological war over relative reality is not only counterproductive, but will bring about the very outcome this video is theorizing about.
Love means nothing when your government wages wars on foreign soil, or spills blood on domestic soil. Loves does nothing when cruelty and injustice run rampant with no consequences, or accountability. Love is nothing when no one else has any.
Funny that you talk about love. Do you truly think you have any? Love means forgiveness, not judgement. Love does not mean simply letting others live in peace. One should have love for the potential for wisdom of our species, not our species itself. And for wisdom, one needs pain and suffering until one breaks. Evil people are our testers. If we are unworthy, we suffer to learn. If we aren't unworthy, then we don't suffer. The problem is not evil, the problem is the protection that we give to pathetic, unwise idiots. We are depriving them of their own talent and convince ourselves that it is for their "good". Pain is not a curse, it is a blessing.
@@Kanuui- There is no "worth" in suffering. A smart man learns from their mistakes, where as a wise man learns from the mistakes of others. "Love means forgiveness, not judgement?" You say that, but then you go about casting judgement on others by saying "pathetic, unwise idiots" are to suffer in order to learn if they are "unworthy," and only the "worthy" won't suffer. Who are you to decide who is a "pathetic, unwise idiot?" What criteria do you use to cast such judgments of worth, and what rights do you have to judge others? The problem is that we don't give 'enough' protection to others, and instead choose to protect ourselves. Depriving them of their own talent? You truly believe by offering a helping hand to others in need, we somehow deprive them of some sort of chance to become better, and the ones that don't get better should cast aside in favor of those who 'prove' themselves? The only thing "pathetic" here is your ideology. Your ideals would only lead people to becoming bitter, untrusting, self-centered narcissists that wouldn't even so much as lift a finger to help a dying person in front of them. Pain isn't some romantic idea of self-improvement. You don't get stronger or smarter the more you hurt. People with strong convictions that have the will to push through adversities become better versions of themselves because they don't let the pain stop them. "Love for the potential of wisdom of our species, not our species itself?" That isn't love for our potential of wisdom. You're just selecting who you do, and don't like. You like people who meet your petty criteria of 'wisdom,' and you forsake everyone that doesn't meet your expectations. If you truly cared about others and the wisdom of which you so proclaim, you would know that the truly wise thing to do wouldn't be to cast others aside, but instead help everyone to become wiser, better people. Show them the error of the ways, and help them understand how to improve themselves. I will leave you with a quote that you should reflect on, and maybe you'll realize just how asinine your ideology really is, and I hope you gained a little wisdom from what I've said here. "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link." - Thomas Reid
@@idiom2805 Then I guess you have never been broken repeatedly even once in your life, for you would understand what I am talking about if you did or at least you have learned nothing from it. I never said that I love others, because I simply don't, I love the potential, correct, but not them themselves. And no, through their convictions no one becomes "better". Humans grow after they analyze their agony through which they've gone through. And again, no. To help others is good, not necessarily wise. If you help others enough so that they don't kill themselves but not enough so that they can learn, then you have acted wisely but if you help them so much that they learn jackshit out of it, then you are a moron, nothing more. Agony summons the door to wisdom while analytical thinking summons the key to it.
@@Kanuui- Ah, I see. I was wrong for thinking you could be reasoned with. You're clearly set in your ways, and unwilling to change. I only hope at some point you realize how foolish your view is, before you make yourself, or those around you, suffer because of it.
@@idiom2805 We are both set in our ways. Only thing that truly bothers me is that you haven't thought of your view yourself. You and every other human being nowadays doesn't try to adapt a new view. We only take on what is comfortable and pleasant and do not see that there are other views and perspectives that are far more complex and interesting in their thought process. Funny thing is, is that I would maybe even respect that view of yours, if it was yours and not hammered into you by the society, parents or friends. Believe me, I had once the same opinion and never saw anything above the horizon. Never tried to understand the perspective of those who have been broken apart, never tried to understand those who now hurt others because of it. The only foolish thing here is that most do not think for themselves or fool themselves into thinking that they are thinking for themselves yet are not. Through agony we adapt new views, that actually do not even need to be evil, through something as seemingly simple as pain, we can discover so many new points of views, it is absolutely incredible.
"World War 3" it's enough , Nuclear Bomb trigger will be pushed by USA & illuminati and other nations back themselves they will launch it. Mission Mars is on the way promoted well by them. The Cold War is on never know it will blast at any moment coming years. Russia knows that well even Sir Vladimir Putin he started making hidden underground towns in Russia which are untraceable by Satellite to escape nuclear bomb attacks on its civilians. IRAN will wipeout Israel no where in Earth planet in anger. If it happens in China India, Pakistan, Bangladesh majority off the civilians will be wiped out in fraction of second they won't know they are dead by that time. Russia is full prepared for it. Cold war is still on if economy crashes off the Western world the game starts and other factors as well. 🚬🌏🌎... Greed, Domination, Power & Resources control will destroy humanity on planet Earth. Mission Mars is promoted to fast hope someone can understand.
@Promise Pie your wrong and so is the person you responded to. We are not controlled by greed, we are controlled by the idealisme of security = good life. meaning that if you think you are secure you will have a good life. that is the fundamental thing any human wants. Security can be many things, Money is a Security, Collecting stuff, owning a house is a security. but it is always better to have more security, more money, more houses. we are never content .. and that is greed but that is also the reason why we have survived for so many years. we needed to collect and create security to survive in the early years of our time. we don't need that anymore but our brain hasn't adapted. just like it hadn't adapted to Sugar tasting really good. despite it not being a rarity anymore. The reason why honey and sugar taste good is because it was extremely rare food sources. And so we are much more controlled by our reptillian brain than we think.
Some of us have learnt not to be enveloped by greed, material gain is not a measure of success, personal development is all one should strive for, be a better person tomorrow than what you were yesterday.
the answer is simple. we human beings are gifted with free will and a free mind but we aren't educated the right way. we are only educated to run alongside the majority rather than running on an undiscovered path and missing out on many great views. we are too concerned with external affairs that find less time to understand ourselves better. hence we become chaotic.
Just curious where has it been seen that any other species killed itself off? As far as I'm concerned that sort of idea is only something seen in movies.. and ofc the whole point of the movie is to get a message to humans to not get power hungry but humans just blow right past that and instead just rate the movie on a scale and go on to the next movie.
yall in the comments like “so sad *they* wont understand” like “they”? bro you ARE they. you are just as human and likely to fall to these things as anyone else
The people watching this and who actually contemplate it are not part of the collective "They". "They" will watch a video like this and think "Hippie hocus pocus" .... and there is a lot more "they" in this world
Sliske Project whats also killing itself is the growing rate of technological advancement, the fall in cancer and espeacially the impracticality of war.
Not true. In fact we are hardwired to unite. In the creation of cars,telephones,the concorde or the Internet we see this time and time again. We humans are worth it. And humanity is worth fighting for
Hug the man. Fix the line. Hug the man. Fix the line. Laugh with him. Dance with her. Time is short. Tomorrow may not see sun raise together. Memories keep the human race alive. If the last man and woman alive remember. He shall not be alone. As memories shall guide her. Dog loved you. Human loved dog. In hard times they both shall fight together. Hug the man. Kiss the dog. Fall asleep tonight. Tomorrow remember.
Don't be. Sure, a lot of animals will go extinct. But so many have gone extinct already. We will die, but a bunch of animals will survive, there are plenty of stuff that survived plenty of extinctions. Like small rodents, and cockroaches. And from them new animals will evolve. Sure, humanity will be dead, but life on Earth will carry on. In just a mere 1 million years after we're gone, it will be like if we never had existed, the climate will have recovered, all our cities will be buried or just gone, nothing will remain about us.
The thing that really blows my mind is... we, as humans, are so consciously aware of our fatal flaws! We even make nifty animated videos talking about how and why we're going to completely devour ourselves! And yet we can't do anything about it. At least not without forcibly overriding the things that make us human in the first place. Our higher intellectual selves are forever at the mercy of our stupid animal nature.
The issue is that our animal nature (instincts) is what ultimately drives us. Our consciousness can only modify in what behaviour these instincts translate.
Al Delgado “Have you ever had a dream in whig, having spied a deadly snake at your feet, you suddenly begin to see snakes everywhere - suddenly realize, in fact, that you're surrounded by them?" Reynie was surprised. "I have had that dream. It's a nightmare." "Indeed. And it strikes me as being rather like when a person first realizes the extent of wickedness in the world. That vision can become all-consuming - and in a way, it, too, is a nightmare, by which I mean that it is not quite a proper assessment of the state of things. For someone as observant as you, Reynie, deadly serpents always catch the eye. But if you find that serpents are all you see, you may not be looking hard enough.” ― Trenton Lee Stewart, The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma
@@samwolfe1000 haven't you realised that the social frame work is made up of humans, and humans include the individuals? So the problem lies within all of us including myself.
@@ziruiwang4806 Humans adapt to the social system they were born into as a mean of survival. They cannot be blamed for it if you look at it sociologically. Our social system, ultimately the market economy is based on tradition established thousands of years ago. This tradition emerged because people had no idea what to do with economic surplus at the dawn of agriculture. Trade and money has been institutionalized leading inevitably to inequality, public health crisis and - as technology evolved - the ecological crisis. Thanks to technology however, humanity can surmount the problem trade roughly solved back then, allowing a peaceful and sustainable coexistence again. The sooner Humanity realizes this possibility, the more chance it has to survive its selfmade catastrophy.
We're paradoxical as a species. We may believe all this but as long as there are people who do not, we cannot turn our beliefs into actions. Take the first flaw in humanity: Tribalism. If I truly believe in showing love and respect to one another but I am outnumbered by those who will harm me regardless, because of our fear for our own lives, that love will never be shown. Nothing is scarier that a combination of violence and delusion. As long as there is hate and distrust in this world, love will never have a chance to grow.
Mate, first of all Aliens are probably not going to stumble upon our humble civilisation. And if they did, I am certain they're not going to find it boring. Do you know why? Because civilisation is a human construct; the herd mindset attributed to Earth species'. Aliens from a foreign planet will have evolved much much much much much differently, absolutely everything about them will be different. We will have more in common with spiders than aliens. The curiosity and drive to analyse new discoveries is a human thing to do. Aliens will most likely not analyse our civilisations, and if they did they just wouldn't understand it. Unless they evolved from humans.
Humanity 3.0 maybe they've been in control all along which is why media and entertainment is heavily saturated with aliens and governments pushing towards new world order.. it wouldn't make sense for an alien making public contacti to a civilization divided by numerous leaders.. it's not logical
So, after the video I wanted to know other people's insight to that matter, but reading some of the comments only made me even more resentful of the humanity... For example, there are a lot of people talking about leadership and wanting to see a group of people 'pay for their wrongs', but what they all fail to acknowledge is that, by talking about humanity, you are included as well. There are no apparent figures at fault for anything, because all of us are the same species and so we all are taking part in the impending destruction of the world, because, let's face it, we cannot change its' course. I hate myself just as much as I hate everyone on this planet. Life is just great, isn't it... Also... Have you ever wondered that if our brain is actually such a brilliant machine and that if most of our states are created by it (anxiety etc.), so by having named ourselves 'homo sapiens' we internally stopped ourselves from further evolution. Like, we've just caught a glimpse of knowledge and then called ourselves 'smart' and so we may think that we cannot do better than that. I do not mean that none of technological progress is relevant, because it obviously is, but I'm thinking about it at a larger scale. What if there are more steps in human evolution to be achieved and we will never find out about it because our greed and faults took the better of us while we were supposed to be making progress and all that caused the humankind to go extinct before reaching our full potential. Kind of sad.
"Love" is not the right word. You won't ever love an unknown stranger or a psychopath. You won't ever love those that were never born. You can only love the truth that is favorable for you. It's more about: 1. Learning to live together 2. Learning to live responsibly 3. Understanding the destructive power of our illusions/self-lies
OneOfUs We have already learned to live together but that doesn't mean we didn't feel like killing each other. We have always learned to live responsibly, yet that doesn't mean we dom't have internal tendencies to deviate and do the things we want, rather than the things we should. And we have always had an understanding of the destructive power of our illusions/self-lies, which we know will make the bitter taste of truth palatable and unnoticeable, to the point where we are swallowed by it.
+TONYSTARK557 I was just correcting the way they put into words what they meant in the video. About your opinion: Who do you call "we"? What do you mean by "already learned to live together"? What do you mean by "learned to live responsibly"? What are the proofs that we really have learned all these things? And how can one "always learn" something? If you have to learn it again and again, it means you haven't learned it. Being able to comprehend these things does not mean we have learned them too. Knowing about something is different than practicing it to one's advantage. With this in mind, I wouldn't say "we" have learned any of them. Some people might have.
Pinnacle Of Man TM Yep and part of the tribalism or ethnocentrism, would be religion. That is why I'm atheist. Not because I hate God, simply because I disagree with the tribalism that it encompasses.
Ok Alain. You're absolutely right. As always. You've changed my life for the better this far. Now my hope is that you change the life of our species. A huge hug from Argentina.
It's not easy living a life essentially not taking part in tribalism and constantly seeking the truth. You get punished & ridiculed by the rodent brains. Everyone on this planet has a primal brain to some extent but some have evolved more than others and unfortunately the evolved amongst us are an extreme minority.
Personally I'm just unhappy that I'll never get to see the whole of human history play out to the very end due to our limited lifespans. Watching the world end during my lifetime would be a blessing.
Akshay G You don't have sufficient data to make that claim. If you had more civilizations to compare us with, you *could* form a reasonable argument, among other things. Not even sure why you are making this kind of comparison.
Thank you for writing about the brain! Though the kicker is a quote I recall by Mark Twain: "Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured"
One problem is the lack of help people get in understanding things when they need it. A lack of understanding in some areas usually doesn't bode well for that person's future. And even when others see that lack of understanding, it's simply ignored and passed over as normal, even if it actually isn't. People are just expected to already know how to deal with everything or to learn it themselves.
As far i believe in no religion, one must admit most of them got pretty close to the point. The human being a creature of both good and evil, and balance is needed for survival. If we get too malicious, we will destroy eachother. But also if we get too kind, we will just get killed, and no kindness will be able to spread.
Gerald P. Evil is the violation of others free will, so murder and rape and thievery are evil acts because the free will of another man is tarnished... goodness can be perceived as good because it allows the evil to exist with no interference, unconsciously that is how we use “good” but what it truly is, is unconditional love, and that is acting in accordance to respecting free will, and letting nature take its course, because that is selfless, it is doing and being for another for no reason other than using your free will... evil is evil because it is selfish to the immediate gratification to exploitation for free will... goodness does not exploit free will!
@@camerontaylor7471 So, evil is defined by each person, right? If a person has the free will to believe that it is evil to not own slaves to do your labor then according to your logic was Abraham Lincoln, who violated the free will of people who owned slaves by criminalizing slavery, an evil man? Without a creator of a universal moral code then according to your logic it would be evil for the police to arrest you for stabbing somebody because they are violating your free will to stab. If there is no creator then a person who murders another person to steal their possessions and wife is just "survival of the fittest" and nature. I'm a former atheist by the way.
I actually disagree with his assertion on this one. I think if we let others control our human condition, then that will probably do it. It is a bit outlandish how much we are getting tugged around by our lizard brains.
A way of get and transmit "higher" knowledge is all what we need, and we can work it. Social-individual bestiality it's only ignorance waiting the blow of reason.
Ego and power are a terrifying combination. Only humanity itself believes in its superiority. If that 'superiority' leads down a path of self-destruction and planetary devastation, then surely it's more a question of inferiority. Humans are nothing but a blight on this beautiful planet.
I agree! But an equally terrifying combination, that is perhaps even more self destructive, is the willful ignorance AND arrogance of so much of the general population.
Amen. Societies, economies, humanitarianism. All lies made by a purposely neglectful walking virus. As a person with Asperger's I've always tried to do best to live a successful life, but all I get is shit. I'm not the only one. I'm tired of humanity and it's lies.

I know it might sound too trivial or even nonsensical, but I think games may actually save humankind. That includes sports, general physical activity and videogames. They are a great way to channel the primitive impulses we all have in a safe environment where nobody should get hurt. Ignoring or repressing those impulses can only make them grow stronger
We live in a society where stupidity and ignorance is glorified, and society pushes you to achieve social acceptance instead of self-actualization and independence.
It's even harder when one considers that tribalism was one of the features that allowed us to become what we are, and maybe it was one of the keys of our survival as a species. Even worse, we frequently base love on wishful thinking, and even when one gets over the romanticized idea of it, our rational development gets confronted by rejection and loneliness. No easy way out here.

And you know it’s kinda easy to be a little bit full of yourself when you’re literally the only species on your planet that has the ability to reason things out, like mathematics and sciences. Too bad that trait missed you, can’t be perfect after all. Please go dig a hole and stock it up with your favorite canned goods and be as an ostrich, don’t worry we will let you know when the coast is clear.
It’s so ridiculously hilarious to read a text from someone claiming they know what enlightenment even is. Yeah because you’re God now right and you define the universe? 😂 Claiming we are a train that has gone off the cliff already 🤣 yeah even the scientific community, that has convinced you of your impending doom, does not agree with you. The vast majority of them are not even predicting the “end of the world”. They are predicting things that may have huge impacts on mankind, such as sea level rise rendering current coastal areas uninhabitable. But that’s not going to end the world or humanity. It’s incredible how much we know that we don’t know and yet we want to make predictions as if we are gods. Just chill bro.
Self awareness is a rare commodity, but we already have the intellectual tools to help achieve this. Once one is trained in this manner it becomes easier to overcome these errors. I think eventually we will reach a point where we can better teach people to be more self aware. Our biases aren't so bad once we are aware we have them and are more comfortable with confronting them.
@Alvino A We legitimately are a danger to ourselves and life on earth. With the press of a few buttons, we could send ICBMs crisscrossing the entire planet, wiping out almost all life on Earth. And that's not even getting into the climate catastrophe we're current waging on the planet.
Alvino A I seriously am confused to how you can simultaneously agree that we’re easily able to wipe out all life on earth at any time, but think that it’s arrogant to believe that spewing god knows how many millions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere is affecting the climate. It’s more arrogant to believe that we can do whatever we want to the environment and there will never be any serious consequences. We’ve known that co2 has a warming effect since the 19th century, and that it’s warming the planet since the 70s, that is simple fact. We aren’t children anymore, there is no mommy that will come and clean up the earth because we trashed it. The earth is our home, and we aren’t taking care of it, it’s given us plenty of time but sooner or later we will be evicted.
Alvino A You’re simply wrong. It’s been proven that CO2 traps heat and the amount of warming happening is unprecedented in our records and been happening since the industrial revolution. You keep deflecting, my point about arrogance is that you people say it is arrogant to believe that our emissions are changing the climate but recognise the fact we’re able to wipe almost all life off the planet as straight fact. Your opposition to that fact is inexplicable, almost ideological.
"the sadder thing" What was it Jordan Peterson said about this? Maybe it was, "Any idiot can pick a time frame that renders a snippet of time within it comparitively irrelevant!" Something like that. I think the vastness of time and space should be appreciated, but if it leaves you dismayed, you're looking at it through the wrong lens.
Looking at all these problems in the human's brains, I always wondered how we became the dominant species. We have bad tribalism, and we often go to wars with each other just because of different political views.
alienzen But why can't we find a common ground? We do we always go to violence? We have NEVER experienced global peace. It's sad. Do you think our intellect is to blame?

EVER LOOMING CLIMATE CHANGE 2025: Yeah we sure, 2020 caused it to be irreversible. And then if we ever crawl from the soup or somehow exist again on this planet, we’ll repeat the same mistakes and die again. Over and over until the Sun dies out and puts us all out of our misery with this barbaric slaughterhouse known as humanity.
There is also the possibility that you get an idocracy situation where those who are the least intelligent and self-aware have the most kids and then due to their dependence on tech that more intelligent people of the past built will suffer as the infrastructure crumbles and they end just dying because they have become completely dependent on the tech for their survival.
This channel speaks such unprecedented truth. It's sad that so many people who should realize this will never pay any attention to it. It creates a little flame of fear in my heart whenever I hear things like these, but it is faith and hope that keep me going.
You should reflect this video on yourself first before judging others, thats the easy part. To accept it and working it out is the hard part. By rambling about other people instead of yourself first than frankly you have not understood the message. I dont want to know what would happen if one of us would be a world leader. We would not be better. You and I never had such tremendous power like they have and we all know how much power and wealth can change us, even if its just 1000 dollar we earn more monthly.
I know one thing. I know I'm not prepared for such duty, so I wouldn't put myself in that possession. He's not a prince or someone sworn into power after his processor died. He ran for that position. But would I be better? You can't definitely say I wouldn't be the better president (Albeit, I probably wouldn't but that's besides the point)
Sadly, it's difficult to practice love as described in this video on a large scale. It's reiterative; in terms of leaders of nations, being kind and forgiving to other nations is impractical *because* of our instinctive tendency to hurt others for our own gain. A prescription of love only remedies the symptoms.

Alex Brown From the top of my head: Space X (Elon Musk) and SENS (Aubrey de Grey). Elon Musk is assuring our survival by setting up a colony on Mars, he mentions it himself, that it's good insurance for the survival of our species. Aubrey is working on ending aging, his is the best approach to the defeating all the illnesses that afflict us as we age (cancer, diabetes, alzheimers, etc.) I could write a book about this stuff...
The ignorance of humanity is sometimes so staggeringly without awareness from itself, that the fact we could be so blinded and egotistical; it is actually a masterpiece of creation within itself. It marvels me, as to how we already haven't totally anhilated ourselves. How we haven't yet erased everyone from the planet. I wonder if we'll get off the planet before it falls victim to the creations of man.
this is actually very close to what i've come to believe is the core flaw with humans, and that is a conflict between instinct and reason. i believe emotions are like a dialogue between these two sides of us but it is prone to turning abusive and argumentative. i think reason and logic are taking us more and more into a future where the conventional need for instinct is obsolete. now, instinct is still needed, but instead of needing to hunt or find shelter to defend ourselves from nature or predators, it is instead needed to help us with more complex issues. Yes we still need it to keep us from running out in traffic, but also for deciding whether or not to trust someone or navigate life decisions about what path will lead to a healthy long life. This requires a collaborative effort between our instincts and reason, but i think our instincts are finding it harder and harder to acclamate to their new role since it's not as straight forward as it used to be and that can be frustrating.
I completely agree. Another example I think is of our technological advances. They were made using our "reason" to help us survive and have succeeded but at the same time do the opposite because we can't evolve in time or in other words instinctually catch up so it becomes a threat. I think this is also an example of the conflict between reason and instinct that are both working towards the same goal.
The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.
I agree. We will literally destroy humanity it self if we keep being greedy. Greed is one of the things that effected this world GREATLY. But its hard. Everything has its flaws.. nothing is perfect. And we need balance.
The problem is that people have become so brainwashed by their own self that they have lost the ability to see the error of their ways and then say "You may think it is bad, but it's subjective", there are literally people who think that something that is completely and utterly wrong is the epitome of goodness
It is very depressing to think that all the people who desperately need to understand this will never do.
But it is the truth.
No, it's not the truth. The truth is action is the only thing that produces result. We can spend time in philosophy or we can spend time actually going out and making a difference. Understanding this does no good if people aren't out there doing something about it. A lot of people in the world have understood that climate change is a real problem, but a great proportion of them DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. For god sakes rally the people nearest to you to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WE FACE. Fuck!
Let's be honest, people are unreliable. I'm not saying do nothing, but just take a select few and plan how to overcome the inevitable future problems.
John Garrison
If action is reinforced by bad or fallacious ideas, there will be bad action.
For action to end in good results, there needs to be those that have the capacity and time to think and formulate the good ideas upon whitch the action is based.
No, it is the truth, and you are also right. These kinds of thoughts are the absolutely essential keys to the plans we need - otherwise that reptilian mind will do whatever it wants without thinking. Like he said in the video - philosophy, science etc. All are necessary e.g. to discuss ethics, discussing the true problems.
Also, if people are unreliable, that's no reason to simply get a select few. Most of these problems require nearly everyone's help. To that end, yes, we must then take ACTION.

We will kill ourselves because we don't trust our technology and will destroy it in fear of something new. If climate change wipes humanity out, it will be because we will either try to stop it, or contain it with terrible methods. We are afraid of new ideas, so we stick with the now-emptied liberal-capitalist philosophy. The world is about to change radically, and if we try to forcefully stop these changes, we can exterminate ourselves. The most important parts of life to focus on are reform of society, promotion of new thinking and lastly technological advances.

This world is too toxic and yet we have humans who don't believe it as such. They turn a blind eye when it's an inconvenience and won't care if someone falls.
As far as I remember, cultural antropologists say Human irresponsibility was not an issue in hunter-gatherer societies before the neolithic revolution. Then why are we so obsessed with biology?
Which is why we need to think on our own. Unlearn what society has taught us, like that wealth and appearances are the only way towards love and appreciation. Then we need to recruit free thinking people and forge our own happy communities that is outside of the norm.
This will protect us from all harms and soon the happiness will spread, but don't let the amber be trampled.

Connor O'Hare unless we have an impartial rule of law, which upholds those values
Its a paradoxical conclusion because as a design of the brain, trust in strangers would be universal. The issue here is that our brain cant even begin to comprehend what that would be like hence logically the first point that bubbles to the surface is that the trust must be mutual or one will exploit it. Just having that thought is the part of your brain that doesnt trust people. So we would never fully understand it other than as it is in theory.

Don't worry. There's a plan to murder almost everyone on the planet soon and then have neural implants in the few people the monsters who did it have kept alive, just so they can be their good obedient slaves. Then they'll just keep putting those implants in the offspring of the slaves they allow to breed to serve them while not putting them in their own bloodline so they can rule over humanity forever. And of course they'll keep the slave population to a minimum so as to not of over populate the planet again, or have to worry about a pesky rebellion from free thinkers. As a matter of fact, this is a promotional video they made in advance to show to the slave population to help brainwash them, with the help of the neural implants of course. So you can stop worrying, its all been figured out, the planet will be fine so you can stop worrying. Should be happening soon enough.

Ok I'm very confused as well.
Unfortunately you are all too right. Humanity is destined for disaster. Why? We haven’t learned how to work together as a whole. When we imagine intelligent aliens we imagine smart, powerful beings who fight wars in the vast landscape of space with powerful weapons that could destroy planets or each other, like Star Wars, and I️ think we could all agree on that, but i think we are imagining ourselves, if we make it to that point, but we can’t, because a successful civilization is one that works together to solve problems, and doesn’t give up too easily. One that has a clear idea of right and wrong. One that doesn’t fight wars between ourselves. Imagine if instead of a space race between the US and Russia, we worked together. The benefits of that would be otherworldly, and we would most likely have humans on Mars right now, but our competitiveness, our animal brain is there to tell us that we are here to survive for ourselves, not evolve. Does that make sense, I️ hope it does, if it doesn’t please tell me.

But then there is the other side…ignorance, lies, greed, religion, separation, wanting to be more valuable than others, being vicious, hating, raping and hurting, killing hundreds of millions with weapons of biology, radiation, chemistry…

More flaws: A lack of self-awareness or relativism. We can build complex webs of logic and reason to defend our own actions, but we are hard-pressed to apply the same types of logic to the people we don't like (or who are different from us).
Related to tribalism: The idea of "if my group doesn't survive, then nobody should". I'm seeing some of that sentiment here in the comments. It's sort of a combination of pride and selfishness. I see it in several popular movements snaring more people and more media time.
It can also come from anger or the desire for revenge.
I find that even when your own self awareness is improved once you've picked out your problems, and fixed them even, you find other peoples lack of it a problem aswell as their actions. logic is in most cases, absolute, a 1 or 0, more self aware people, would result in more people coming to the same conclusion (depending on the problem of course) which would mean there wouldn't be that much difference, unless the "problem" is purely subjective at which point its not problem only a decision and self aware people contending a decision would understand that its not a problem.
Relativism is not the way to go. One can and should understand that different people and groups have different situations and histories, and that those affect their present, but relativism implies there are different versions of the truth, which there are not. One can be aware of one's situation, and no one should ever doubt another's experience, but that doesn't mean they're correct in the broader interpretation of reality based on their experiences.
Even the greatest philosophers have only ever hit on part of the truth.
One has to be careful around the concept of relativism because it causes us to construct reality based on the flawed experiences of others, which is no better than constructing reality based on our own flawed experiences.
It seems to me we're going to have to accept some level of people's preference for people "like themselves" (put in quotes because tribalism isn't exclusive to race, but also increasingly, ideology). We're going to have to accept that parts of our brains are animal and immutable. Find a way to make global cooperation work while not ignoring those things that are a part of ourselves for better or worse. I think that was the Left's mistake this go around. It wanted to move forward, wanted to be "evolved", never realizing that it was playing out many of the same animal behaviors in a different way, all the while accosting its opponents for doing the same.
Facing reality means understanding that sometimes our systems, built as though they are on the ideas of altruism and common good, are still man-made systems that may not work like we thought they would. We have to understand when those systems don't work and try to find something that works better. Just because we did something for the common good doesn't mean it can't have unintended consequences that make it untenable, and if I had one major criticism of my chosen "side", it's that it has a hard time adapting to the idea that its interference can cause harm, too and that it should think outside the box for a minute.
I'm a firm believer that something workable and survivable exists in the tension between what we want and what the other side wants (the reasonable element of that side, of course, as well as the reasonable element of our side, as extremism exists on both and is a problem with both), and that an ideological war over relative reality is not only counterproductive, but will bring about the very outcome this video is theorizing about.

"It didn't want to know itself" - so true.
Love means nothing when your government wages wars on foreign soil, or spills blood on domestic soil.
Loves does nothing when cruelty and injustice run rampant with no consequences, or accountability.
Love is nothing when no one else has any.
Funny that you talk about love. Do you truly think you have any? Love means forgiveness, not judgement. Love does not mean simply letting others live in peace. One should have love for the potential for wisdom of our species, not our species itself. And for wisdom, one needs pain and suffering until one breaks. Evil people are our testers. If we are unworthy, we suffer to learn. If we aren't unworthy, then we don't suffer. The problem is not evil, the problem is the protection that we give to pathetic, unwise idiots. We are depriving them of their own talent and convince ourselves that it is for their "good".
Pain is not a curse, it is a blessing.
@@Kanuui- There is no "worth" in suffering.
A smart man learns from their mistakes, where as a wise man learns from the mistakes of others.
"Love means forgiveness, not judgement?" You say that, but then you go about casting judgement on others by saying "pathetic, unwise idiots" are to suffer in order to learn if they are "unworthy," and only the "worthy" won't suffer.
Who are you to decide who is a "pathetic, unwise idiot?" What criteria do you use to cast such judgments of worth, and what rights do you have to judge others?
The problem is that we don't give 'enough' protection to others, and instead choose to protect ourselves.
Depriving them of their own talent? You truly believe by offering a helping hand to others in need, we somehow deprive them of some sort of chance to become better, and the ones that don't get better should cast aside in favor of those who 'prove' themselves?
The only thing "pathetic" here is your ideology. Your ideals would only lead people to becoming bitter, untrusting, self-centered narcissists that wouldn't even so much as lift a finger to help a dying person in front of them.
Pain isn't some romantic idea of self-improvement. You don't get stronger or smarter the more you hurt. People with strong convictions that have the will to push through adversities become better versions of themselves because they don't let the pain stop them.
"Love for the potential of wisdom of our species, not our species itself?" That isn't love for our potential of wisdom. You're just selecting who you do, and don't like.
You like people who meet your petty criteria of 'wisdom,' and you forsake everyone that doesn't meet your expectations.
If you truly cared about others and the wisdom of which you so proclaim, you would know that the truly wise thing to do wouldn't be to cast others aside, but instead help everyone to become wiser, better people. Show them the error of the ways, and help them understand how to improve themselves.
I will leave you with a quote that you should reflect on, and maybe you'll realize just how asinine your ideology really is, and I hope you gained a little wisdom from what I've said here.

And no, through their convictions no one becomes "better". Humans grow after they analyze their agony through which they've gone through.
And again, no. To help others is good, not necessarily wise. If you help others enough so that they don't kill themselves but not enough so that they can learn, then you have acted wisely but if you help them so much that they learn jackshit out of it, then you are a moron, nothing more.

Funny thing is, is that I would maybe even respect that view of yours, if it was yours and not hammered into you by the society, parents or friends. Believe me, I had once the same opinion and never saw anything above the horizon. Never tried to understand the perspective of those who have been broken apart, never tried to understand those who now hurt others because of it. The only foolish thing here is that most do not think for themselves or fool themselves into thinking that they are thinking for themselves yet are not.

@Promise Pie your wrong and so is the person you responded to.
We are not controlled by greed, we are controlled by the idealisme of security = good life. meaning that if you think you are secure you will have a good life. that is the fundamental thing any human wants. Security can be many things, Money is a Security, Collecting stuff, owning a house is a security. but it is always better to have more security, more money, more houses. we are never content .. and that is greed but that is also the reason why we have survived for so many years. we needed to collect and create security to survive in the early years of our time. we don't need that anymore but our brain hasn't adapted. just like it hadn't adapted to Sugar tasting really good. despite it not being a rarity anymore. The reason why honey and sugar taste good is because it was extremely rare food sources.
And so we are much more controlled by our reptillian brain than we think.

That is a brilliant pessimistic statement.
What a blessing for those who are not born into this world.
the answer is simple. we human beings are gifted with free will and a free mind but we aren't educated the right way. we are only educated to run alongside the majority rather than running on an undiscovered path and missing out on many great views. we are too concerned with external affairs that find less time to understand ourselves better. hence we become chaotic.

As far as causes of extinction go, mankind's would be pretty typical for a species at the top of an ecosystem: falling victim of their own success.
Yeah, see, it's not our fault. Damn nature.
It’s kinda badass if you think about it. Only man could kill man. Haha
Just curious where has it been seen that any other species killed itself off? As far as I'm concerned that sort of idea is only something seen in movies.. and ofc the whole point of the movie is to get a message to humans to not get power hungry but humans just blow right past that and instead just rate the movie on a scale and go on to the next movie.

rare negro lmao true
Don't be. Sure, a lot of animals will go extinct. But so many have gone extinct already. We will die, but a bunch of animals will survive, there are plenty of stuff that survived plenty of extinctions. Like small rodents, and cockroaches. And from them new animals will evolve. Sure, humanity will be dead, but life on Earth will carry on. In just a mere 1 million years after we're gone, it will be like if we never had existed, the climate will have recovered, all our cities will be buried or just gone, nothing will remain about us.
The thing that really blows my mind is... we, as humans, are so consciously aware of our fatal flaws! We even make nifty animated videos talking about how and why we're going to completely devour ourselves!
And yet we can't do anything about it. At least not without forcibly overriding the things that make us human in the first place. Our higher intellectual selves are forever at the mercy of our stupid animal nature.
The issue is that our animal nature (instincts) is what ultimately drives us. Our consciousness can only modify in what behaviour these instincts translate.
Well that’s an insult to nature. 😑 We’re the only animal that deliberately and meticulously destroys just for the sake of it
I see it everywhere, people just dont care about each other that's why we are screwed
Al Delgado “Have you ever had a dream in whig, having spied a deadly snake at your feet, you suddenly begin to see snakes everywhere - suddenly realize, in fact, that you're surrounded by them?"
Reynie was surprised. "I have had that dream. It's a nightmare."
"Indeed. And it strikes me as being rather like when a person first realizes the extent of wickedness in the world. That vision can become all-consuming - and in a way, it, too, is a nightmare, by which I mean that it is not quite a proper assessment of the state of things. For someone as observant as you, Reynie, deadly serpents always catch the eye. But if you find that serpents are all you see, you may not be looking hard enough.”

@@samwolfe1000 haven't you realised that the social frame work is made up of humans, and humans include the individuals? So the problem lies within all of us including myself.
@@ziruiwang4806 Humans adapt to the social system they were born into as a mean of survival. They cannot be blamed for it if you look at it sociologically.
Our social system, ultimately the market economy is based on tradition established thousands of years ago. This tradition emerged because people had no idea what to do with economic surplus at the dawn of agriculture. Trade and money has been institutionalized leading inevitably to inequality, public health crisis and - as technology evolved - the ecological crisis.
Thanks to technology however, humanity can surmount the problem trade roughly solved back then, allowing a peaceful and sustainable coexistence again. The sooner Humanity realizes this possibility, the more chance it has to survive its selfmade catastrophy.
@@ziruiwang4806 fr I hate humans I just wanna die and become watever I fucking was even if it just a consciousness
It all boils down to selfishness. Selfishness is the root of all evil
We're paradoxical as a species. We may believe all this but as long as there are people who do not, we cannot turn our beliefs into actions.
Take the first flaw in humanity: Tribalism.
If I truly believe in showing love and respect to one another but I am outnumbered by those who will harm me regardless, because of our fear for our own lives, that love will never be shown. Nothing is scarier that a combination of violence and delusion. As long as there is hate and distrust in this world, love will never have a chance to grow.
no paradoxal but hipocrits

If aliens reach our world they'll probably find our civilization average and boring.
Unless there are no aliens and the Earth is flat and everything is a conspiracy made by crab like people dominating our world.
~Tastes like crab talks like people, crab people! Crab people!!~
Mate, first of all Aliens are probably not going to stumble upon our humble civilisation. And if they did, I am certain they're not going to find it boring. Do you know why? Because civilisation is a human construct; the herd mindset attributed to Earth species'.
Aliens from a foreign planet will have evolved much much much much much differently, absolutely everything about them will be different. We will have more in common with spiders than aliens. The curiosity and drive to analyse new discoveries is a human thing to do. Aliens will most likely not analyse our civilisations, and if they did they just wouldn't understand it. Unless they evolved from humans.
Or perhaps they are patiently awaiting for us to gain cognitive control of our lizard brain before they introduce themselves to us. Just a guess. ;)
Humanity 3.0 maybe they've been in control all along which is why media and entertainment is heavily saturated with aliens and governments pushing towards new world order.. it wouldn't make sense for an alien making public contacti to a civilization divided by numerous leaders.. it's not logical
So, after the video I wanted to know other people's insight to that matter, but reading some of the comments only made me even more resentful of the humanity... For example, there are a lot of people talking about leadership and wanting to see a group of people 'pay for their wrongs', but what they all fail to acknowledge is that, by talking about humanity, you are included as well. There are no apparent figures at fault for anything, because all of us are the same species and so we all are taking part in the impending destruction of the world, because, let's face it, we cannot change its' course. I hate myself just as much as I hate everyone on this planet. Life is just great, isn't it...
Also... Have you ever wondered that if our brain is actually such a brilliant machine and that if most of our states are created by it (anxiety etc.), so by having named ourselves 'homo sapiens' we internally stopped ourselves from further evolution. Like, we've just caught a glimpse of knowledge and then called ourselves 'smart' and so we may think that we cannot do better than that. I do not mean that none of technological progress is relevant, because it obviously is, but I'm thinking about it at a larger scale. What if there are more steps in human evolution to be achieved and we will never find out about it because our greed and faults took the better of us while we were supposed to be making progress and all that caused the humankind to go extinct before reaching our full potential.
Kind of sad.
1. Love of the stranger
2. Love of the unborn
3. Love of the truth
This deserves it's own video.
"Love" is not the right word. You won't ever love an unknown stranger or a psychopath. You won't ever love those that were never born. You can only love the truth that is favorable for you.
It's more about:
1. Learning to live together
2. Learning to live responsibly
3. Understanding the destructive power of our illusions/self-lies
OneOfUs We have already learned to live together but that doesn't mean we didn't feel like killing each other. We have always learned to live responsibly, yet that doesn't mean we dom't have internal tendencies to deviate and do the things we want, rather than the things we should. And we have always had an understanding of the destructive power of our illusions/self-lies, which we know will make the bitter taste of truth palatable and unnoticeable, to the point where we are swallowed by it.
+TONYSTARK557
I was just correcting the way they put into words what they meant in the video.
About your opinion:
Who do you call "we"? What do you mean by "already learned to live together"? What do you mean by "learned to live responsibly"? What are the proofs that we really have learned all these things? And how can one "always learn" something? If you have to learn it again and again, it means you haven't learned it.
Being able to comprehend these things does not mean we have learned them too. Knowing about something is different than practicing it to one's advantage. With this in mind, I wouldn't say "we" have learned any of them. Some people might have.
I think it should become the human credo that we teach in schools.

Thank you for writing about the brain! Though the kicker is a quote I recall by Mark Twain:
"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured"
One problem is the lack of help people get in understanding things when they need it. A lack of understanding in some areas usually doesn't bode well for that person's future. And even when others see that lack of understanding, it's simply ignored and passed over as normal, even if it actually isn't. People are just expected to already know how to deal with everything or to learn it themselves.
As far i believe in no religion, one must admit most of them got pretty close to the point. The human being a creature of both good and evil, and balance is needed for survival.
If we get too malicious, we will destroy eachother. But also if we get too kind, we will just get killed, and no kindness will be able to spread.
Seth Heristal but humanity struggles still to this day with balance. Balance is impossible
Being an atheist can you define good and evil?
Gerald P. Evil is the violation of others free will, so murder and rape and thievery are evil acts because the free will of another man is tarnished... goodness can be perceived as good because it allows the evil to exist with no interference, unconsciously that is how we use “good” but what it truly is, is unconditional love, and that is acting in accordance to respecting free will, and letting nature take its course, because that is selfless, it is doing and being for another for no reason other than using your free will... evil is evil because it is selfish to the immediate gratification to exploitation for free will... goodness does not exploit free will!
@@camerontaylor7471 So, evil is defined by each person, right? If a person has the free will to believe that it is evil to not own slaves to do your labor then according to your logic was Abraham Lincoln, who violated the free will of people who owned slaves by criminalizing slavery, an evil man? Without a creator of a universal moral code then according to your logic it would be evil for the police to arrest you for stabbing somebody because they are violating your free will to stab. If there is no creator then a person who murders another person to steal their possessions and wife is just "survival of the fittest" and nature. I'm a former atheist by the way.

I apologise for the negativity, in truth even tho i think I'm correct i also hope that i am wrong.
Ego and power are a terrifying combination. Only humanity itself believes in its superiority. If that 'superiority' leads down a path of self-destruction and planetary devastation, then surely it's more a question of inferiority. Humans are nothing but a blight on this beautiful planet.

Then we will come for heaven and conquer it too!!!
We are barely making probes that can explore the near galaxy. The only people alive today dreaming about conquering mars in the name of mankind are movie writers, directors and apparently doomsday advocates. As a species over the centuries we have changed in innumerable ways. You’re just being incredibly ignorant to say otherwise.

The vast majority of them are not even predicting the “end of the world”. They are predicting things that may have huge impacts on mankind, such as sea level rise rendering current coastal areas uninhabitable. But that’s not going to end the world or humanity.

Self awareness is a rare commodity, but we already have the intellectual tools to help achieve this. Once one is trained in this manner it becomes easier to overcome these errors.

@Alvino A We legitimately are a danger to ourselves and life on earth. With the press of a few buttons, we could send ICBMs crisscrossing the entire planet, wiping out almost all life on Earth.
And that's not even getting into the climate catastrophe we're current waging on the planet.
Alvino A I seriously am confused to how you can simultaneously agree that we’re easily able to wipe out all life on earth at any time, but think that it’s arrogant to believe that spewing god knows how many millions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere is affecting the climate. It’s more arrogant to believe that we can do whatever we want to the environment and there will never be any serious consequences. We’ve known that co2 has a warming effect since the 19th century, and that it’s warming the planet since the 70s, that is simple fact.
We aren’t children anymore, there is no mommy that will come and clean up the earth because we trashed it. The earth is our home, and we aren’t taking care of it, it’s given us plenty of time but sooner or later we will be evicted.
Alvino A You’re simply wrong. It’s been proven that CO2 traps heat and the amount of warming happening is unprecedented in our records and been happening since the industrial revolution.
You keep deflecting, my point about arrogance is that you people say it is arrogant to believe that our emissions are changing the climate but recognise the fact we’re able to wipe almost all life off the planet as straight fact. Your opposition to that fact is inexplicable, almost ideological.

Sadly, it's difficult to practice love as described in this video on a large scale. It's reiterative; in terms of leaders of nations, being kind and forgiving to other nations is impractical *because* of our instinctive tendency to hurt others for our own gain. A prescription of love only remedies the symptoms.

@@friendlyneighbourhoodnigga6249 bro yoyr not a human the fact that you said what u said proves it humans love to lie and act like everythings perfect while being evil as fuck and not accepting that this reality is fucked up because of them.
And we all are we all are terrible in this enviernment
SO FUCKING TRUE
It's honestly a miracle we haven't blown ourselves up to pieces yet. I expected nuclear missiles to be launched already.
This is all well and good, but what the bloody hell are going to do about it? This video is like a doctor diagnosing a patient with cancer, which the patient knew about all along, yet nobody wants to do anything about it.
Alex Brown People are doing something about it, a lot in fact, you're just not aware.
Wanda Sykes what are people doing? provide me reliable and substantial data to prove this, then ill consider changing my perspective. just saying im not aware and then not giving the means to be aware isnt really an argument.
Alex Brown From the top of my head: Space X (Elon Musk) and SENS (Aubrey de Grey).
Elon Musk is assuring our survival by setting up a colony on Mars, he mentions it himself, that it's good insurance for the survival of our species. Aubrey is working on ending aging, his is the best approach to the defeating all the illnesses that afflict us as we age (cancer, diabetes, alzheimers, etc.)
I could write a book about this stuff...
Wanda but how does that help with this topic?
TheFabulousKitten They're helping prevent our destruction, that's how.
A lot of people need to understand a lot of this.
The ignorance of humanity is sometimes so staggeringly without awareness from itself, that the fact we could be so blinded and egotistical; it is actually a masterpiece of creation within itself. It marvels me, as to how we already haven't totally anhilated ourselves. How we haven't yet erased everyone from the planet. I wonder if we'll get off the planet before it falls victim to the creations of man.

this is actually very close to what i've come to believe is the core flaw with humans, and that is a conflict between instinct and reason. i believe emotions are like a dialogue between these two sides of us but it is prone to turning abusive and argumentative. i think reason and logic are taking us more and more into a future where the conventional need for instinct is obsolete. now, instinct is still needed, but instead of needing to hunt or find shelter to defend ourselves from nature or predators, it is instead needed to help us with more complex issues. Yes we still need it to keep us from running out in traffic, but also for deciding whether or not to trust someone or navigate life decisions about what path will lead to a healthy long life. This requires a collaborative effort between our instincts and reason, but i think our instincts are finding it harder and harder to acclamate to their new role since it's not as straight forward as it used to be and that can be frustrating.
I completely agree. Another example I think is of our technological advances. They were made using our "reason" to help us survive and have succeeded but at the same time do the opposite because we can't evolve in time or in other words instinctually catch up so it becomes a threat. I think this is also an example of the conflict between reason and instinct that are both working towards the same goal.
The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.
Never related to a comment as much as I did this
"The cause of all conflicts in human beings is the belief to be a separate self located in the body". -Rupert Spira
When the day comes I will stand above humanity with a smile on my face and laughter in my heart and our bodies turns to ash.
I agree. We will literally destroy humanity it self if we keep being greedy. Greed is one of the things that effected this world GREATLY. But its hard. Everything has its flaws.. nothing is perfect. And we need balance.
Yea like you playing roblox
Replace 'love' with 'respect' and I'll agree.
There's No worser Creature than Humans
The problem is that people have become so brainwashed by their own self that they have lost the ability to see the error of their ways and then say "You may think it is bad, but it's subjective", there are literally people who think that something that is completely and utterly wrong is the epitome of goodness
The key to find and work on humanity's flaws is not to point fingers, but to look in the mirror.
