People think it's a metaphor for fossil fuels. That is not correct. Why? Because the pig and the element are animals too, which might be a metaphor for "They're people too". And society only collapsed because it wasn't fed, which they really had no excuse not to do. I think it represents the workers who contribute to society, and how society over time forgets to appreciate their sacrifices and create for them an environment they can actually survive in. That's why our society is about to collapse, because essential workers can't afford their own homes or have kids, nor do they want their kids to grow up in a society that doesn't give back.
Yep, everyone so focused on other tasks and they forgot to feed the most important resource, in the past it wasn't importante because everyone and they grandma did it,but now everyone is doing the other part and forgetting their foundations.
This is a wonderful way of showing how destructive we humans can actually be. But this video and channel are so underrated. Looks like people really don't give a sh*t about awareness.
…it is, in fact, the owl. The only one that actually talked about the problem before the disaster happened. The cat tried to save the disaster, but only when it was way too late.
This feels like a metaphor of how our society relies on a resource that won`t be sustainable in the long run. Feels like a metaphor on climate change too.
It‘s more a metaphor on how all society tries to do is keeping the status quo (their daily lives) alive - instead of limiting itself to keep a certain ressource sustainable. Society just keeps exploiting the ressource until its gone. And once its gone society collapses and moves on to a new ressource. It isnt neccesarily about electricity, but ressources in general. In history, this has already happened countless times with different ressources, in different societies, in different places. And it will keep repeating.
In my opinion, it's less about whether usage of a resource usage is really sustainable than it is about how our careless reliance on it predisposes us to the disastrous outcome of running out. No resource is truly infinite and energy is ultimatey finite, but there's probably more than we'll ever need. But that doesn't mean we can't screw ourselves over and create a situation where it is very hard to obtain enough energy to sustain our way of life. Fossil fuels are non-renewable from a human perspective, but there was a time in Earth's history when they didn't exist yet. Most of that energy originally came from the sun, was stored by plants, transferred to animals by eating the plants, and converted to oil when the animals died suddenly and their organic matter was trapped under a layer of other stuff for a really, really long time.
@@mrmonokel2335 Nice deflection, but the problem is, I _already know_ the definition of the word :q I was asking _you_ what do _you_ think it means (to learn _your_ definition), because I have suspicion that _you_ don't understand the subject well enough, and once you provided your definition, I would then be able to tell you why it's bunk. Also, it wasn't really about the definition, but about what it implies. Which I would explain next, if you wouldn't be an ass. (That's what my second sentence in my original comment was hinting at, which of course you didn't understand as well.)
More like, make, but only one person at a lifetime lmao :skull: No but for real. I don't say it because it's nice to. I say it because it's the truth unfortunately. There are too many people on this planet. Eight, fucking, billion. We either stop it peacefully, or the rules of our world will stop us by force. That, and/or go back to using horses for everything, including manufacturing. But cutting down on human population is the most straightforward bet. The planet *can* take fires if few happen, rarely. With 8 billion fires lit by us for various reasons every single day, the CO2 and other greenhouse gases we produce is too much. This is a simple cartoon pointing at a much bigger thing than it initially seems to. The pig and the elephant, you could say they're analogy to a power station or an energy, but not having electricity would not be remotely so bad if it happened gradually, in contrast to us making our fucking planet inhospitable to ourselves. They're an analogy to our planet and its resources as a whole in some way.
Some of the animals here are actually featured in "flower found"(ie: mouse, deer, chicken, fox, rabbit, blue bird before it turned purple, and maybe more I missed)
So basically We're running out of oil . . . And the only answer is TO MAKE NEW OIL! my god! Its all so clear now! This cartoon was so inspiring! We need to find a way to create a new type of oil That can help us to survive! This should get an Oscar for inspiring people to do the right thing! Just like "man" I am now a proud owner of two seal leather boots!
I honestly think those animations they just drive people to depression instead of changing the world. Couldn't there be a solution at the end ? Like, they could learn and switch to renewal. Be "practical", not "sorry".
The thing is, animations won't change the world. Animators are cynical, they know the only thing they do for the cause is not clever enough, they just hope that some actually clever people who also hold power would figure out the solutions to the problem they're hinting at. The true difficulty of this issue is... frankly? Medical systems running on electricity. It'd feel immoral and cruel to shut off electricity because of that. People lived with only horses all fine, electricity is not something we need to survive. Yes, it is not. lol But the other, a lot worse thing is overpopulation. We could keep using our technology if there wasn't 8 billion fucking people on the planet. Factories, power plants, cars, anything that produces a lot of CO2. If there wasn't a demand of 8 billion fires to burn each day in our tech for whatever the hell reason but just... I got no clue, 1 billion? A few hundred millions? A lot less than what we have, but it's not zero... Then our planet could most definitely take the load. The trees could probably clean the CO from the air enough to reverse climate change. If we don't allow our planet to fix itself, the planet will get rid of us. Honestly, I legit hope it wins if we humans are not worthy of living on it.
@@aggiebtz Again, I know what the things that I said imply. Now like... we don't need to start killing each other right now, but a fact is a fact. I'm not solving anything here either, there _are_ options to solve it. The Earth is big and nature is incredibly well thought-out; it can survive a lot of stress... a lot for a long time, or even more for a shorter time, or a hell of a lot for a shorter time, that's just what it is. The simplest, most peaceful solution would be to just... well, how should I put it, stop or at least curb reproduction rates in places it is most rampant. People who aren't born don't experience the pain of dying, so you're as peaceful with that as you can get. The issue with solar energy and other things is that if you have more people to supply with electricity, you gotta mine more, hint: the big diesel engines just as an example that are used to mine the lithium into your electric car causes pollution... And the mine itself, and the factory, all polluting everything with all kinds of trash. And solar farms gotta be more expansive, and where do you throw 'em out after they reach the end of their service life is another question... It's not a question whether too much is too much. The question is whether humanity finds a good solution. Heck, you could move a hella lotta people to Mars, though rockets - ones running on kerosene and... solid fuel for example? They're surely causing pollution as well, plus if Martian people spread all over then that stops reducing Earth population too, but I mean... it's up to us humans how we solve it. This is a very complex issue, and to an extent, yes, using more reusable energy _might_ gonna be a good idea, I don't know any numbers. I could say wars could fix overpopulation, but they also cause pollution, a heck of a lot and even more if it's nuclear, obviously. And letting some kinda disease run rampant is probably also not something we should strive for, even though it also does reduce overpopulation... so like, it may sound cruel at first what I said, but in the end, that's not my intention. I guess I just half wish I wasn't having to watch humanity heading to its doom thanks to its own stupidity. Technology, knowledge, medicine, they make our lives easier to live. They're good, but that's what makes them bad. If we abuse them to try to get us to the infinite, we will be slapped in the face by the laws of nature, many people will die. There's no sugarcoating it, the Earth gives us fuel, and at a rate it recycles things to give us new fuel. But if we burn through it quickly and violently instead of using a smaller, steady flame, the flame will run out of fuel and be extinguished. So, TLDR: hopefully, the Earth can survive us 8 million for at least about one or two hundred more years until not only you and I have died of old age, but the issue has somehow been solved so there isn't a mindless increase of pop until it _indeed_ is too much. "So long as I'm one of the few hundred million"... nope, I'm actually hoping no one will have to die of our collective stupidity in the first place. Those that aren't born now could probably just be born later, in a future less grim, there's even a simple, not so cruel, perhaps mildly-annoying-at-best way to regulate births that don't even require medical intervention. Can't imply what it is with nicer, just shorter words, lol.
@@hunormagyar1843 Ahem. Says the clear cynic. The point of these is to get people speaking and to educate kids on societal issues. Hopefully this stuff will be sorted out soon, and then it will no longer be an issue. Yes our planet is struggling to keep up with our population, but that just shows we need to go to other planets soon or expand our resources via planting more trees to balance our ecological weight out. A mass culling is never the answer. Especially not when less people are having kids than ever before because the economy is absolutely f*cked. We have a shot at surviving, truly surviving, thriving even. And it's not a shot in the dark, and it's not a hail Mary. We just need to deal with it before it becomes that and we'll be alright.

So, TLDR: hopefully, the Earth can survive us 8 million for at least about one or two hundred more years until not only you and I have died of old age, but the issue has somehow been solved so there isn't a mindless increase of pop until it _indeed_ is too much. "So long as I'm one of the few hundred million"... nope, I'm actually hoping no one will have to die of our collective stupidity in the first place. Those that aren't born now could probably just be born later, in a future less grim, there's even a simple, not so cruel, perhaps mildly-annoying-at-best way to regulate births that don't even require medical intervention. Can't imply what it is with nicer, just shorter words, lol.
@@hunormagyar1843 Ahem. Says the clear cynic.
The point of these is to get people speaking and to educate kids on societal issues. Hopefully this stuff will be sorted out soon, and then it will no longer be an issue.
Yes our planet is struggling to keep up with our population, but that just shows we need to go to other planets soon or expand our resources via planting more trees to balance our ecological weight out.
A mass culling is never the answer. Especially not when less people are having kids than ever before because the economy is absolutely f*cked.
We have a shot at surviving, truly surviving, thriving even.
And it's not a shot in the dark, and it's not a hail Mary. We just need to deal with it before it becomes that and we'll be alright.
Renewable by 2050, right? Then let's stick to it.
