I have some thoughts after watching the film and reading some of the comments thread. In terms of species survivability, having a diverse genetic “stock” is much better than having a uniform genetic stock. Evolution is like cheating in a card game: the more cards you have in your hand/sleeve, the better your odds are of having a winning hand. In this case, the cards represent diversity in genetic traits, and the hand you are trying to beat is the environmental conditions. Since environmental conditions change over time, different genetic traits will thrive during different periods of time. If all members of a species have identical genetic traits, they will share the strengths and weaknesses of that trait. Sometimes certain sets of genetic traits will survive for very long periods of time, as seen in certain types of shark. However, if the environment changes such that the trait is no longer survivable, a monogenetic species with that trait faces a severe risk of extinction. If the goal of the “Populace” corporation was to ensure humanity’s survival, then the corporation took exactly the wrong approach. Eliminating or decreasing genetic diversity in any species increases the extinction risk; because, a greater proportion of the species share the same weaknesses. For example, corn grown for agricultural purposes has become more monogenetic overtime. This has led to certain plant diseases destroying large sections of the corn fields at a time. Even genetic traits that are advantageous at one period can become a fatal weakness in a later era. The polar bear shows a straightforward of this example, the polar bear evolved in such an environment where it was optimized for hunting in a snow-covered environment. Their ancestors were darker colored bears who migrated north into the polar region. The contrast between their fur and the environment made it difficult to camouflage and hunt for prey. The bear population that had moved into to arctic has managed to survive partially because some of them had lighter colored fur than others. If the bear population that had migrated to the polar caps was both mono-genetic and lacked a variation in their genetic code for hair color, it is likely that bear population would not have survived. Therefore we would not have the polar bear. Since recent decreases in the polar ice cap, areas which were covered with snow are now covered with ground of a darker color. Therefore, the white fur of polar bears, once critical for hunting, has become a dangerous hindrance to polar bears hunting in relatively ice-free zones. Just as dark fur is easy to see on white ice, white fur is easy to see on dark ground. As a result, polar bears have an increased risk of extinction. Thankfully, polar bears have not entirely lost their genetic diversity. Polar bears remain fertile with other bear populations with dark colored furs. This has led to the recent emergence of “growler” bears, which have fur colors that share aspects of white fur and darker colored fur. As ice free regions become more common, polar bears and “growler” bears which have naturally darker fur than other arctic bears will tend to survive more frequently. If such conditions continue for long enough, arctic bear evolution will tend to darker colored bears, just as the ice dominated conditions of earlier periods led arctic bear evolution to lighter colored bears. Just as the lighter haired bears were able to thrive when introduced to the ice dominated climate, the darker colored “growler” bears can thrive when introduced to low ice or ice-free climates. Therefore the arctic bear can continue to survive through their darker haired progeny, just as the earlier bear population was able to survive through their lighter haired progeny. My point is genetic diversity helps life to survive new challenges and environments. Even genetic traits which someone might consider disadvantageous can become lifesaving in the right conditions or circumstances. Therefore, maintaining high genetic diversity tends to improve a species long term survival, even if some traits are considered better than others.
Alexander Kracinovich Good points. However, i might disagree with you. Imagine the future where we discover the perfect genetic traits and DNA modification would be possible to do (genetics without any fatal defects and purely perfect traits). A uniform perfect genetic traits would allow us to survive as the Artificial Intelligence would decide which perfect genetic traits that human needs to have in some circumtances. Just wanna share share my thoughts tho as i still believe that progress in science would not be totally bad thing for human. But yeah it is debatable if we look at moral compass on the killing of defects and weak “stock”. Cheers!
Alexander, you are right: species diversity is advantageous. Even if it were possible to have the "perfect" genes, some other species would evolve to take advantage of some weakness (there is aways a weakness) in that monoculture species. Rather like the current monoculture of bananas is susceptible to disease. But the growler bears are a bad example. First, it turns out that while they're better adapted than polar bears, they're more poorly adapted than the grizzlies that form the other half of their heritage. Secondly, it turns out all the growler bears found so far are descended from a single female polar bear, one with apparently unusual tastes in her mates.
@@MikeTheGamer77 Yeah, the problem is that thanks to evolution "any environment" keeps changing and adapting to outdo your hack. And you still have a monoculture, so once nature figures out the weakness (and every creature has a weakness), you've got a pandemic.

Man, I'm not sure if it's Dust doing this, or nearly every filmmaker on this channel, but the audio mixing is sometimes atrocious. The effects and music is turned up so loud that you can't hear any dialogue at all. It's distracting, and really a shame because these are all so good. It sucks having to watch a lot of these with the captions on just to catch the story that these people worked so hard on. Ok, rant over
Agree with you. Could not understand Half of what they said and I had the audio turned up but not enough to have it blast me when the music starts. Fucking Hate that Shit.
Metaphorically saying, his interrogator is saying "Your DNA is great. Your mate is flawed, way too flawed. Your union and child are unacceptable. Sorry, we must erase your mind... erase you... and recycle the only part of you that we accept, your body."
Are you kidding? Those of us who gripped about 0bammy care were hounded by...well... THE ENTIRE WORLD: "Why are you afraid of "free health care"? We have had it for years!" (yeah...you've been coming to the USA for years for major health care, too, because your wait lists for a heart transplant is over 150 years...but NOW we all go to Mexico because WE are in the predicament you all are in!) (HE NEVER SAID "free" and it is now almost 800% higher than it was before his illegitimate reign of terror. And the wait lists are horrendous now!)
Anyone who thinks this is a comment on left or right politics should read Orwell's 1984, from which this was apparently derived. Totalitarianism uses both the left and the right to its own ideals.
Wow, the level to which this echoes the current situation is chilling. The acting and writing are superb, I just wish it were less accurate (not by mistake but that our outlook were not this grim, which I believe it is)
How on earth does this reflect our current situation? Except that we are consuming resources & breeding at too rapid a rate? We definitely don’t have any aspect of eugenics at this stage. A fact proven by the increased numbers of children born to the poor & the decreased numbers born to the middle & upper classes.
Reminds me of a story I read at least 50 years ago were the population were chosen and altered shortly after conception in the lab . One in every billion had the genetics with certain drugs for immortality . The rest were controlled as a work force with the aid of drugs for the Elite .There were even fashions in looks like one year all embryo's would altered to be Chinese next year Italian and so on . It was a love story set in a rebellion ,even had a few cyborgs. Some S/F Writers 60/40 years ago were true visionaries as what I was reading at 12 in 1955 onwards has happened or is being worked on now.
"It is the business of the future to be dangerous.. Your future is dust."…. this tagline at the end is quite apropos for this video. Translation: Your future will be worthless.. IF that's the kind of future humanity is moving towards, then I want no part of it. It's quite bleak.
In 2097, they use microscopes made in 1937, iSight webcams from 2003, and horse syringes from 1917! (The Stanley knife will obviously go on forever, though.)
Interestingly eugenics was a huge political movement particularly in the early 1900s in the US. It was primarily the academics who bought into it - of note the very same academics also embraced communism which became a bit of self fulfilling prophecy since China has practiced eugenics for decades now. Some of the more notable adherents to eugenics were President Woodrow Wilson, Henry Ford of Ford motors, and Margaret Sanger who founded Planned Parenthood to enact eugenics principles (that for the record is not a political statement, it was its stated purpose).
Two objections: a corporation like that wouldn't have assigned the same person to both the task of handling the illegally impregnated woman and her baby; they would've been fully cognizant of the psychological conflict thus produced. Second, that giant needle supposedly shoved through the side of his skull. Really good work on the rotoscoping or whatever it was you did for the faces.
So how the hell can they do business when they have no idea who they're talking to. Surely they can at least wear a number or rank insignia so you know when you're talking to the janitor or the CEO.
Intense, riveting, and knew this would end sooner than I'd like 😊. Very nicely done, good acting by the multi-role gentleman. There's a great role playing game called Paranoia which had a society of clones that this reminded me of. Although the game is parody, it's based off of the movie THX 1138 co-written by George Lucas. There are many of prior sci-fi's based on the idea as well, but the reality is closer now than ever before.
Fyi, china ended that policy. Now something like 75% of the working population is supposed to retire in the next ten years. They screwed themselves and have no one to replace them. No one wants to immigrate to china except for north koreans because china......
In China, you had to get the permission if you wanted more than a child. In India, the government tried to sterilize male people in 60´s. The both policies failed and are now ended.
@@williambrandondavis6897 It is unfortunate that China gave up; theirs was a future-oriented policy despite the temporary setback of an aging population, because when technology has advanced far enough, human resources are no longer needed. Smothering the planet with humans is the most destructive habit of modern humanity and WILL cause a collapse that civilization will not survive.
Okay it is insanely dystopian (even by Dust short standards) far future but brits STILL fuckin have two tap sinks? This nation is beyond help i tell ya lmao
I despise places with just a single sink. Everywhere in the European theater I have been has 1 sink, no dishwasher, no screens on their windows, and no clothes dryer. They haven't heard of pizza sauce over here; if you ask for it, they give you KETCHUP. You're right, they have NO HOPE...but apparently you would fit right in.
What the mean guy says about anything that outgrows it's resources is a pest including us humans... that's super scary cause its horrific and immoral but actually logical and mostly just makes me feel badly for exterminating "pests". I'm bothered.
They're not slaves? They can choose? Maybe what they eat or the clothing they wear, but not the life they live. They are slaves to the belief that balance must be maintained. But what balance? And who determines that balance? If they can make babies then why have women at all? If women aren't allowed to bare children then going by what was said, wouldn't women being able to bare children be a defect? A defect that needed to be corrected? That man saying they are human was only partly right, in that under a classification of species. But they ceased being true humans when someone decided human only meant being balanced by their standards. Because of the balance belief that drives those in control, they can't see that it's the mixing and blending of human Gene's that makes a thriving populace. And unless this is allowed a species stagnates and eventually becomes extent.
Being human means being able to use one's brain to predict the consequences of one's actions. If we don't achieve balance soon, the "thriving" populace will not be the future but the end of more than just mankind. The clock is ticking and if we wait much longer with effective countermeasures against overpopulation, ours will be a dystopian future like in this film, if we have one at all.
Why do all these films treat music the same as the Pulp Fiction description of Europeans eating french fries with mayonnaise? "They fucking drown 'em in that shit."
Wow, that was insightful and intelligent. Where did you get such wisdom. Quoting out of a book and slurs does not show any enlightenment. Start opening your eyes by reading Michael Newtons book "Destiny of Souls : Life between lives" and then you will start getting a clue as to what is really going on behind the curtain! AN NDE or OBE experience would help or just get regressed to a previous life will open your eyes.
Great film EXCEPT THE AUDIO VOLUME keeps going WAY TOO FAR up and down. Makes it SUPER FRUSTRATING trying to understand the quiet dialog! In order to understand the words at some parts, I had to turn the volume control as high as it would go. Then BAM!!! SOMETHING SO LOUD IT RUMBLES THE HOUSE!!! Rather than adding to the experience it makes me lose focus on the story as I fight the volume trying to keep it to a reasonable level.
Top-notch acting, directing, camera work, editing, etc....... Simply Top-notch!!
I’ve noticed that the acting is quite good in these short films....kudos to your casting staff DUST!
Dust dose not produce these films. It is just a chance that fiends, and re-diseminates Syfy shorts made by other people.
"Populace" is one of the very best of the Dust films--well written, well performed, and ingeniously filmed. Smart and stylish.
There has to be a way to record soft conversations that still allows the words to be clear.

she was DEFECTIVE!
Some variation of this concept will eventually occur . . . the first glimpse at this was via the film GATTACA
It's already happening
We may not like but extreme measures WILL be required
Very striking very emotional and possibly what could happen in the future Eugenics is a very dangerous way to go in any society.

If they can make babies then why have women at all? If women aren't allowed to bare children then going by what was said, wouldn't women being able to bare children be a defect? A defect that needed to be corrected?
That man saying they are human was only partly right, in that under a classification of species. But they ceased being true humans when someone decided human only meant being balanced by their standards.
Because of the balance belief that drives those in control, they can't see that it's the mixing and blending of human Gene's that makes a thriving populace. And unless this is allowed a species stagnates and eventually becomes extent.
Being human means being able to use one's brain to predict the consequences of one's actions. If we don't achieve balance soon, the "thriving" populace will not be the future but the end of more than just mankind. The clock is ticking and if we wait much longer with effective countermeasures against overpopulation, ours will be a dystopian future like in this film, if we have one at all.
I'd ask how many women really go to bed with all that makeup on but then I realized... my wife does it sometimes when she's too lazy to remove hers XD
Why do all these films treat music the same as the Pulp Fiction description of Europeans eating french fries with mayonnaise? "They fucking drown 'em in that shit."
Great actor!
Why its over so fast.

I thought her earring went out of style in the 80's.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14 : 12.
Claus Bohm. Utter shit bro sorry
Wow, that was insightful and intelligent. Where did you get such wisdom. Quoting out of a book and slurs does not show any enlightenment. Start opening your eyes by reading Michael Newtons book "Destiny of Souls : Life between lives" and then you will start getting a clue as to what is really going on behind the curtain! AN NDE or OBE experience would help or just get regressed to a previous life will open your eyes.
Sounds like a good description of religion.
Nice flick about when the corporate cloners take over!
The real question as proposed here is; do we classify human species as pests?
I'm best, everyone should be like me
To my opinion diversity re generates species.
Is this how Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny are conceived?
I think this is a really good one DUST presented. Just wondering why the pinnacle of the human male genetics still has two warts on his mouth. :P

What has the Japanese symbol (tomoe) to say at 5:40 ?
As a single, ugly and fat person I would welcome this future where the state provides you with a partner.
You are pushing thing's that are deep and dark .
Blimey Charlie....how dark and disturbing!
Great film EXCEPT THE AUDIO VOLUME keeps going WAY TOO FAR up and down. Makes it SUPER FRUSTRATING trying to understand the quiet dialog! In order to understand the words at some parts, I had to turn the volume control as high as it would go. Then BAM!!! SOMETHING SO LOUD IT RUMBLES THE HOUSE!!! Rather than adding to the experience it makes me lose focus on the story as I fight the volume trying to keep it to a reasonable level.
