“The EDF-Earth Defense Force” To save our mother Earth from any alien attack From vicious giant insects who have once again come back We'll unleash all our forces, we won't cut them any slack The EDF deploys!
Imagine you're one of the richest people ever and now because of this council you are not allowed to make the kind of money you were telling if a aliens came in and made our 1% start spilting everything with us evenly they wouldn't put everything they had into finding a way to kill them to they can get there power back
Something I’ve noticed with all of these stories is that humans are too peaceful and too, well, everything we’re not. Humans will by nature look to dominate and would never wait till we got sanctions before we built warships or fortified everything. It’s a common doctrine to match any ship amount of ships with the same.
Not always. There are plenty of nations who adopted isolationism until outside factors forced them to change. Humans are complex but we do strive to be better and often just be left alone.
There are stories were we pretty much took what we saw and made better. And even chose to attack instead of waiting. One of my favorites is when a world is about to get attacked by an insectoid race that already obliteratad others. And the inhabitants wwre one of few that treated us with respect and the humans chose to answer with a simpe "we are coming."

There isn't a government on earth whose actions and/or intentions lead me to believe for a moment that we would enter the galactic stage with such benign, self-restrained and well reasoned motivations, actions and goals. Human governments have, without a single exceptions that come to mind, shown a strong drive towards amassing power, lying to their constituents, betraying agreements whenever convenient and ignoring the slightest modicum of virtue (except for its' appearance) at all times. They have all, nearly without exception, devolved into self-serving power structures bent on the subjugation of the population under their control. The best government is the least government. I do not stand with the libertarians who claim to need no government at all but I stand with many of the founding fathers of the United States (who would be appalled by what has become of their country) who professed to believe that the least amount of government was the best. We would enter the galactic arena as a scourge upon the stars, if not immediately, then shortly after with the entrenchment of our position and our solidifying of our bureaucratic presence in the halls of galactic power. I shutter when I consider what would happen to the galaxy if we as a species are unleashed upon it.
It always amuses me that do many people believe that aliens would be peaceful. Itd entirely possible and in my opinion likely that they would be just as duplicitous,treacherous,and violent ad we are.
Why would a fleet emergency from the dark side of the moon. It would only be hidden to people looking up from earth, to the rest of the galaxy it would be in plain view, hardly a surprise.
VERY well written story. It would be nice if we were uniformly like this story. We are unfortunately at a time of a rightwing rise. But the youth of the world are very open minded in contrast to old guard till struggling with inevitable change.
11:46 things on or orbiting On the Dark Side of the Moon are only hidden from people on earth. A fleet hanging out on the Dark Side of the Moon would be right out in the open to anyone looking from pretty much anywhere else in the solar system or to or to anyone nearby who has powerful enough sensors or solar systems to see earth and its Moon.
This is a well played out plot for a movie. This needs to be published for a movie so that the new directors and movie design crerws can have their fair involvement in a grand story line that could fall in order of Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica.
Nice story beginning scenario! I look forward to seeing more forthcoming installments. One minor criticism though, there were some misused words ; however,a good proofreader would catch and correct these errors .
I recommend you go read the book "The High Crusade". Written by Poul Anderson in the early sixties. It was awarded the best sci-fi book of the year. It's about aliens who land in England around the time of the Crusades. They think they are superior but learn otherwise.
So happy that I finally found a narrator that Im happy with. Its very hard for me to find one that doesn't get on my nerves with bad pronunciation and over acting. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.🙌
A wise Earthling once stated "I invite you to test your hypothesis at your convenience." A courser form can be roughly translated to "Fuck around, and find out."
Personally I'm starting to despise this trope of humanities rapid advancement scaring aliens. I think that if a highly advanced humanity is desired, using either the idea that humanity was able to keep its secrets and/or occupy a particularly barren region of the galaxy (allowing for humanities development in a literal vacuum, with nobody to scare until a proper reveal... also never be sorry for your puns), or the idea that humanity was actually one of if not the first, to be on the scene, is better. The whole thing about rapid advancement in a story where computers exist is the rate of advancement once computers get involved, not to mention the rate of advancement we have seen prior to computers (for example, something like 99.9999% of tools ever invented or improved by man, have done so within living memory and for 99.99999999% of humanities existence, we had *ONE* tool.). The problem with councils at some stagnant level is that there is no way all the groups would just agree to that kind of crap. Some might sign onto a treaty (look at the ccp and what it says about the climate, or Japan in the 1930s straight up lying about the size of their ships), but they will forever be trying to one-up the others. That every other race in a setting seems to plateau at some arbitrary level far below what humanity will get to (which only seems to exist for the sake of the humans in the story), long before humanity even invents gunpowder or gets to the stars... Is just asinine. It can work if you have a single controlling entity e.g. the Goa'uld from Stargate SG-1 in the early seasons. It just doesn't work with a setting that involves either computers as commonplace or some kind council. Especially if there is some type of council for the aforementioned reason. addendum: If you look at some of the estimates for how long the universe will be able to exist in a state not too dissimilar from what it is right now, we are far closer to its beginning then its end. By end I mean a time before heat death and proton decay, but after the period we are in now where star formation is commonplace. (sure the universe itself won't end with the end of star production and star production itself will only peter out over time, the time after stars cease to be born, will be a very different universe than today. So I use that as a cutoff. If you don't use a similar cutoff, you then have us far far far closer to the beginning than the end. For context proton decay _might_ happen in something like 15,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years (I am 100% serious, though I might be off by a zero or two in either direction) I can think of some exceptions to this, where the rapid advancement works, but they are all highly contrived and this isn't one of them. (E.g. humanity being ludicrously late to the party) The core meaning of the Copernican Principle is that we are not as special as we might like. (More specifically it means that the area of the universe we are in, is not any more special than any others, we do not have some privileged view that nobody else does. Thus it follows that we are no more special than any other intelligent life that might exist until proven otherwise.)
@@whyjnot420It's frankly ridiculous that a new interstellar species defeats galaxy spanning alien empires. Unless that new interstellar species is the viltrumites, I'm not buying it. The Hugo award winning book The Dark Forest (A part of THE THREE BODY PROBLEM) had a better view on this sort of situations (MAJOR SPOILERS) A single alien probe, not even one thousandth the size of an alien ship in an armada of a thousand ships singlehandedly annihilated humanities entire thousands strong space fleet in less than an hour. Then a lone alien while singing threw a paper sized weapon in our solar system that flattened our entire solar system into 2 dimensions, destroying all life present there.
@@ace_the_race9340 Yeah. It is a fun idea to play with, just as with almost any underdog story but there are just so many problems with it. Also the larger the hurdle for the underdog to overcome the more problems there are.
@@ace_the_race9340 Addendum: There was one HFY story I came across a little while back that had a similar trajectory in its story. The dynamic was reversed though. In the story, it was a human probe, with humans being the far more advanced group. It was a fun little short that was only serious about one group being far far far more advanced, then had fun with the rest. The writer obviously had no delusions of grandeur.
@@whyjnot420And these stories forget humans differences and drive to survive even at the expense of others. In the aforementioned book (MAJOR SPOILERS) Even when an vastly advanced alien armada was on its way to Earth, All of earths governments rejected the notion of sharing all their technologies for humanities advancement when faced with nation defence. They also banned fleeing the solar system as "The Inequality of survival is the worst kind of Inequality" and would cause widespread societal disruption and any who tried to flee the solar system or tried to develop related technologies would be hunted down and executed. Civilians would active attack and sabotage spaceport that could allow humans passage to space to escape and even fired at orbital human cities as they could be turned into arks for interstellar travel. And finally traitors of all kinds lurked, some indirectly caused the deaths of billions. I see these situations as closer to the truth.
I really enjoyed this story and very much appreciate all the work you do to bring stories such as this to the Internet through your channel. Your channel is one of very few to which I have subscribed. Now that said, the transcript/subtitles in this story could really use an editor. I mention this because sometimes I cannot use the audio narration and therefore have to rely on the subtitles as I did in this case. - Is it Thul or Thule or Thal because the subtitle spells it all three ways? Same with Rakian or is it Recian? And at least once it uses Thularekian. - At various points in the story it should be: rifts, not riffs; pacts, not packs; pariahed, not paryed; reins, not rains; rein, not reign; deterrence, not deterrents; dissent, not descent; and deep-seated, not deep seeded. - The story should probably not have used populous (meaning densely populated) but something else like population (inhabitants) otherwise the meaning is a bit off but this is minor compared to the other issues. Only mentioned because I posted about the other issues. - A bit of punctuation would help with reading the transcript/subtitles And I apologize ion advance if I am somehow sounding like a pedantic grammar nazi. I definitely do not intend to do so. I just hate to see errors impact the quality of a good/great story, book, or speech.

Someone who actually have brain somehow can't climb the rank to be at least a colonel, on the other hand, some muscle brain dude who deserved the rank of a private managed to get the rank of supreme commander. The alien starfighters swarm the player location close enough for shotgun to be effective, the AA defense weaponry of choice: radar guided missiles from self-propelled launchers not even a half click away. Where do those AA guns go? IDK, the in-game event set in 2010's, so you definitely can't cut those cold war era AA guns off the arsenal as the obvious evidence of enemy air power in both shape and form were witnessed across the globe, yet EDF refuses to drag those archaic AA guns out and deploy them as the proper countermeasure, well, because why not, bipedal mechs are way cooler.

Everyone is a critic. Maybe instead of looking for reasons to dislike something, find something to enjoy. Nothing of relavance is really added from the criticism of all these successful authors with published works of their own. Its a youtube video.
Great commentary. Reminded me of either Star Trek or a Stellaris Playthrough. I hope Humanity becomes futuristic with Roman esque features as seen in this picture, or space Vikings as seen in Endless Space 2 Vaulters Artwork. Either way they would show off the two best cultures in our history as a species
Yes we get the point there's a faction within the galactic alliance that wants to kick out the humans I think you've made that point way too many times
Nice story and all but Ive been looking for a story that could be summed up with "rip and tear" and this one was sadly misleading, oh well, its still a nice enough story even though im disappointed.
The narration is actually not bad at all, but the story itself? Apparently the person (or machine) that primarily wrote this, never heard of the concept of show don’t tell. This is like a high school students summary of a book series, but written with better grammar. There seems to be something of a disconnect though, or should I say major inconsistency? Twice it said that the council, watching the humans military build up, was basically afraid, concerned, rethinking its actions. And then the humans deploy their fleet and the council is surprised! Didn’t see it coming! Taken aback by the plucky humans suddenly developing a fleet out of nowhere! Except a few paragraphs before they knew about the fleet, knew about the military buildup; and a few paragraphs before that they also knew about the war mongering and knew about the military buildup. The story is just full of circles and circles and circles.
Great stirring story...almost: way too much "highest ideals of FairPlay, and equity among species was consistently used portraying humanity as the ultimate arbiter of enlightened leadership among all the other races in the galaxy...judging from conditions right now here on Earth I doubt without some sort of "uplift" my species intellect is capable of living up to....but a good story nevertheless!

@@ace_the_race9340 Addendum: There was one HFY story I came across a little while back that had a similar trajectory in its story. The dynamic was reversed though. In the story, it was a human probe, with humans being the far more advanced group. It was a fun little short that was only serious about one group being far far far more advanced, then had fun with the rest. The writer obviously had no delusions of grandeur.
@@whyjnot420And these stories forget humans differences and drive to survive even at the expense of others. In the aforementioned book (MAJOR SPOILERS) Even when an vastly advanced alien armada was on its way to Earth, All of earths governments rejected the notion of sharing all their technologies for humanities advancement when faced with nation defence. They also banned fleeing the solar system as "The Inequality of survival is the worst kind of Inequality" and would cause widespread societal disruption and any who tried to flee the solar system or tried to develop related technologies would be hunted down and executed. Civilians would active attack and sabotage spaceport that could allow humans passage to space to escape and even fired at orbital human cities as they could be turned into arks for interstellar travel. And finally traitors of all kinds lurked, some indirectly caused the deaths of billions. I see these situations as closer to the truth.
I really enjoyed this story and very much appreciate all the work you do to bring stories such as this to the Internet through your channel. Your channel is one of very few to which I have subscribed. Now that said, the transcript/subtitles in this story could really use an editor. I mention this because sometimes I cannot use the audio narration and therefore have to rely on the subtitles as I did in this case.
- Is it Thul or Thule or Thal because the subtitle spells it all three ways? Same with Rakian or is it Recian? And at least once it uses Thularekian.
- At various points in the story it should be: rifts, not riffs; pacts, not packs; pariahed, not paryed; reins, not rains; rein, not reign; deterrence, not deterrents; dissent, not descent; and deep-seated, not deep seeded.
- The story should probably not have used populous (meaning densely populated) but something else like population (inhabitants) otherwise the meaning is a bit off but this is minor compared to the other issues. Only mentioned because I posted about the other issues.
- A bit of punctuation would help with reading the transcript/subtitles
And I apologize ion advance if I am somehow sounding like a pedantic grammar nazi. I definitely do not intend to do so. I just hate to see errors impact the quality of a good/great story, book, or speech.
Thank you for everything! I will try do to better to satisfy all of us! Thank you for support and advices! Glad that you are one of my subscribers! Enjoy! 🍻
It's written by an AI not a person
it is sad reality but war is what gives us most progress
Gives me 501st Journal vibes
DUDE, where do you get your art?
It's made by me, i do have copyrights for the art, why?
We can't even get along with each other never mind everybody else in the universe
sounds like what Russia thinks of themselves.
Yes ! But in a grander scheme of things, what does the rest of the World think of Putin's hybrid of THE OLD CCCP and a new FOURTH REICH ? Putin is what you get if you were to meld Stalin with Hitler :-(
This story says the same shit like 40 times.
it's ai generated slop. Dude who made this video probably didn't even spend 5 minutes proofreading it.
great story loved it
imaage may be ai. one of the soldiers in frount row has a strange issue with his helmets plume, and the one in frount seemingly has an extra finger. If its not, give credit. If it is, state so
Wow, that's 1 really good story... i can just imagine that day it becomes a reality, soon! 😉
Nice!
So... someone (or something in case of a generator) had beaten the last few years of european/atlantic politics into a very didactic story... I'm laughing far too much.
Are you having a stroke? I can’t understand anything you are saying.
These A.I. generated AND narrated stories are really annoying me, cluttering my feed unnecessarily.
No kidding. My 'to watch' list exploded to over 600 videos a month because of this AI spam. And worse, 90% of them are constantly repeating ideals of unity and cooperation. Makes me think this is some liberal morality advertising instead of AI testing as I first thought.
@@TheDurid1 What annoys me is that they all seem to subscribe to the same school of thought of philosophy of thought of the Department of Redundancy Department 😡😤
For the love of God man, the English language has more than 50 words and stop repeating yourself!
EDF! EDF! EDF! HELL NO that name reminds me of one of the most cursed military organizations in gaming history. In every single mission from the first to the last TENNO HEIKA BANZAAAAAAIIIII THE BEST TACTIC period. Someone who actually have brain somehow can't climb the rank to be at least a colonel, on the other hand, some muscle brain dude who deserved the rank of a private managed to get the rank of supreme commander. The alien starfighters swarm the player location close enough for shotgun to be effective, the AA defense weaponry of choice: radar guided missiles from self-propelled launchers not even a half click away. Where do those AA guns go? IDK, the in-game event set in 2010's, so you definitely can't cut those cold war era AA guns off the arsenal as the obvious evidence of enemy air power in both shape and form were witnessed across the globe, yet EDF refuses to drag those archaic AA guns out and deploy them as the proper countermeasure, well, because why not, bipedal mechs are way cooler.
I LOVE this thumbnail!!!👍👍👍👍👍
emerged from the dark side of the moon? so like...they were on display for the entire universe, but hidden from humans on Earth? :P
Gotta love AI stories.
Should share a link to the original post.
not enough pew pew
Everyone is a critic. Maybe instead of looking for reasons to dislike something, find something to enjoy. Nothing of relavance is really added from the criticism of all these successful authors with published works of their own. Its a youtube video.
Thank you 🙏
Great commentary. Reminded me of either Star Trek or a Stellaris Playthrough. I hope Humanity becomes futuristic with Roman esque features as seen in this picture, or space Vikings as seen in Endless Space 2 Vaulters Artwork. Either way they would show off the two best cultures in our history as a species
Sounds a lot like current situation with Russia.
I usually hate AI and "auto voiced" stories, I am absolutely Blitzed right now and I wanna hear about humans beasting!!!
cool one here thumbs up
There is a Vision in this Post/Story. Here in July 2024, my feeble old, tired Eyes, Heart and Soul wonder .. .. ..😔
I love the thumbnail of the vid.
So refreshing to hear a clear human read and put feeling into a story rather than BS AI
It's an AI story and narrator
Yes we get the point there's a faction within the galactic alliance that wants to kick out the humans I think you've made that point way too many times
Nice story and all but Ive been looking for a story that could be summed up with "rip and tear" and this one was sadly misleading, oh well, its still a nice enough story even though im disappointed.
Wow drew that out. Less pc.
This AI generated shit is bonkers. It says the same thing in different lines, as if it’s trying to meet some word limit
All i need to know is: the art in the video, who's is it.. and am I able to get it as well?
It's all made by me with copyrights on...u can take it but if you want to post it somewhere, give me credits! Have a nice day!
Whoop Whoop homies Smokem if you gottem 🧖🏼♂️ 😶🌫️ 🙏🏻
✌🏻 🐵 ✌🏻
19:18 WE WERE BORN TO INHERIT THE STARS!
Xenos, Behold The Power of The Imperium of Man
The narration is actually not bad at all, but the story itself? Apparently the person (or machine) that primarily wrote this, never heard of the concept of show don’t tell. This is like a high school students summary of a book series, but written with better grammar.
There seems to be something of a disconnect though, or should I say major inconsistency? Twice it said that the council, watching the humans military build up, was basically afraid, concerned, rethinking its actions. And then the humans deploy their fleet and the council is surprised! Didn’t see it coming! Taken aback by the plucky humans suddenly developing a fleet out of nowhere! Except a few paragraphs before they knew about the fleet, knew about the military buildup; and a few paragraphs before that they also knew about the war mongering and knew about the military buildup.
The story is just full of circles and circles and circles.
This guy is good. Wish he was on Audible.
indomitable spirit, we won the stars we will win all the stars when elon musk goes to mars
First 3 mins is just saying the same thing, but using different words
And there it is. Prowess.
Ho hum. This one has shown itself to be just another collection of predictable clichés.
Oh such inclusion! Oh such diversity!
Scuse me, Im gonna puke.
This sounds like the EU!
Oh no...DEI
Sauce?
They look like Christian-Roman soldiers. wut?
Good story but bad pacing, it repeats a lot, like a hell of a lot.
Dark side of the moon? Really? This felt like an AI made up story.
Great stirring story...almost: way too much "highest ideals of FairPlay, and equity among species was consistently used portraying humanity as the ultimate arbiter of enlightened leadership among all the other races in the galaxy...judging from conditions right now here on Earth I doubt without some sort of "uplift" my species intellect is capable of living up to....but a good story nevertheless!
EDF!!!
Are we talking about SCOTUS?
OMG you are funny😂
It's frankly ridiculous that a new interstellar species defeats galaxy spanning alien empires. Unless that new interstellar species is the viltrumites, I'm not buying it. The Hugo award winning book The Dark Forest (A part of THE THREE BODY PROBLEM) had a better view on this sort of situations (MAJOR SPOILERS) A single alien probe, not even one thousandth the size of an alien ship in an armada of a thousand ships singlehandedly annihilated humanities entire thousands strong space fleet in less than an hour. Then a lone alien while singing threw a paper sized weapon in our solar system that flattened our entire solar system into 2 dimensions, destroying all life present there.
