good on guy he a legend, and thanks to him im not in the dark . i like to be able to see the truck that is going to kill me before it hits, so i can live my life to its fullest and thanks to guy i can!
One could make a drinking game out of this. Every time Chris laughs as a defense mechanism, you have to take a drink. Just one example: When Guy says Vermont would not survive the apocalypse for two reasons, one is the aerosol masking effect. Hahahahahaha, that's so hilarious!!!
So how many of you - opened-up a second tab and watched - 'Life Is Short' (X-Box ad)... Come-on, own-up!? Ironic, given that console and PC gaming is perhaps one-way to shorten that trip...
Imagine this going public.... :)) Thank you Guy. "Immortal Idiots" < - > the question how we get there is quite interesting. Carlos Castaneda gave the by far best answer.
"It's the economy stupid." Quote from Bill Clinton during his campaign against Bush the Elder. 1991 was a bad year economically speaking (recession) and despite "Read my leaps”, Bush raised taxes and got pounded.
@@HomelessRomantic There's this Homeless man in Minnesota - he has two youtube channels - and he lives in his car. He always is very angry and complaining and he says "don't post comments unless you can help me." Then he turned off his comments section. He's been doing this for seven years! Recently two other youtube channels made videos about him. I'm just wondering how he registers his car each year because in Minnesota (and the U.S.) you need a "permanent address" to get insurance, etc. hahaha. Of course I can't ask him since he is so angry and now turned off his comments. I did ask one of the other channels - so I'll let you know if someone replies. thanks. p.s. a "Lutheran school" sounds like Minnesota.
The search for HUMAN happiness is our "achilles heel". Human hubris ignores several billion years of symbiotic biological growth of every other living thing on the planet. Our arrogant inability to align ourselves with that biogenesis ensures our eventual demise. Symbiosis, the natural mutual interaction of ALL life, has been invaded by a temporary interloper we call homo sapiens -"thinking Man". The existential problem arises from the fact that this "thinking Man" exclusively, thinks of himself as the ultimate expression of "life" itself. Such self-destructive hubris!
This makes sense. No wonder we have so much garbage science that misleads most of us who were taught to trust science. And of course, as children, we trusted our teachers, even though we disliked most of them. I do hope that todays' youth have learned to question everything and think for themselves. (The Graduate was a door opener)
I doubt the computer scientist professor who got maimed by "uncle Ted" would give him a shout out. What's his name? David Gerlenter "On June 24, 1993, Yale University computer science professor David Gelernter is seriously injured while opening his mail when a padded envelope" - IQ tests are a joke. Unabomber was a CIA MKUltra victim. "The bomb had severely wounded his abdomen, chest, face and hand, and even today Gelernter does not have the use of his right hand."
@HomelessRomantic ....small town I guess, I used to live near Trier. In the middle of nowhere, and worked in Luxembourg. Luxembourg was too pricey.....
"...very inconvenient" haha yes - how 'bout the melting/transforming of the vast, vast desert sands to achieve the needed reflective glass-like surface, or did you mention that and i missed it...
With respect, but all this naming & shaming of modern industrial ‘civilisation’ is simply overdone & grossly misleading. In spite of the fact that we are almost universally deluded into thinking that agriculture is/was an excellent & highly progressive thing, on the contrary once we invented it we immediately became as good as ‘finished’. Over the last 10,000 years following the ‘agricultural revolution’ we have cut down & grotesquely denuded millions & millions & millions of acres - thousands & thousands of square miles - of our planet’s most perfect life-sustaining entities - namely our most exquisite & excellent vegetation - on land & now with our putrefying pollution we’re destroying the vast kelp forest beneath the waves. Agriculture alone sealed our fate & not only because we destroyed the sustainability of the only ecological niche capable of performing the stupendous job of sustaining ‘all life on earth’ but our switch to agriculture vastly, vastly exacerbated our carbon dioxide footprint due to the fact that an agricultural//plant based diet allowed us to reproduce at insanely exponential levels. Even if we all began living ecologically sustainably tomorrow morning there are still vastly, vastly too many of us …. Plants not only ‘sequester’ CO2 but they produce oxygen… duh. And they manage the the hydrological cycle perfectly … and the soil ….. Sorry folks … but we’re totally, totally, totally toast …… our dying will be slow & horrific. One of the ONLY ways we could have taken a reasonable stab at saving ourselves (not to omit all multicellular life on Earth) would have been to commence, as soon as we recognised what was happening, replanting billions & billions & billions of plants…. And to go carnivore ……. The agricultural practices required to feed vegans & vegetarians causes vastly, vastly more animal suffering & horrible death (under the reaper’s blades, etc) & ecological destruction than if each person elected to go carnivore which requires around only about one single cow per individual per year …… and if that cow is pasture-raised its burps have significantly less methane in them …. Why don’t the Powers-that-Be initiate remedial action ? THEY KNOW WE ARE DOOMED ….. WE’RE ALREADY WAY PAST SEVERAL TIPPING POINTS…….. even just talking about it - reporting the facts honestly - would cause IMMEDIATE societal chaos…. which state of affairs will commence soon enough …. Meanwhile the Elites will be down in their Tasmanian bunkers ………
Vegan foods do not hurt more animals than meat production, especially when considering crop deaths. While some animals are unintentionally killed during crop harvesting for plant-based foods, the numbers are significantly lower compared to animal agriculture for several reasons: 1. Most crops grown globally, including grains like wheat, corn, and soy, are actually used to feed livestock animals rather than for direct human consumption[1][3]. Around 77% of global soy production goes into animal feed[1], and only 7% is used for vegan products like tofu and soy milk[1]. Animal agriculture utilizes a staggering 83% of the world's croplands[4]. 2. It takes far more crops to produce a calorie of animal-based food compared to plant-based foods. On average, it takes 16 calories of plant input to produce just 1 calorie of meat output[1]. This means significantly more crops need to be grown to sustain animal agriculture, leading to higher incidental deaths during harvesting. 3. Even using the highest estimate of 7.3 billion animals killed annually through crop harvesting for vegan foods[1], animal agriculture is responsible for at least 35.6 billion crop deaths to grow feed for livestock[1]. This is in addition to the intentional slaughter of around 80 billion land animals and trillions of sea animals every year for food[1]. 4. Animal agriculture is a leading cause of habitat destruction, deforestation, and species extinction, further contributing to immense loss of life[1]. Shifting to plant-based diets could free up 75% of agricultural land for rewilding and restoration[4]. 5. Vegan agriculture methods like vertical farming can potentially eliminate crop deaths entirely, while animal farming will always involve intentional killing[4][5]. In summary, while crop deaths are an ethical issue, animal agriculture is responsible for far more incidental deaths through crop harvesting in addition to the intentional slaughter of billions of animals annually. A vegan diet that minimizes harm and utilizes sustainable farming practices is the most ethical choice[1][3][4][5].

I agree!!!
It seems to me that most people do as much as they can to AVOID REALITY.
Very true!
Definitely, this is also the reason that most are clueless, if not delusional in various degrees (on the delusional spectrum.)
Because Reality Bites!
Interesting to the end!
Thanks, come back next time!!

Hi Guy
hi
Hey, Guy. I suppose spring water that has been filtered using reverse osmosis has plastics in it , too, yes?
Maybe LESS?
