    I love the endings to these videos. I find them inspirational to change wrong things to make them better. The most taxing question on the mind is if what we do now will benefit or hurt the future. What would historians find? What would future generations learn about us and what we right now did? Every action will be watched by our children 100 years later. That’s hard to think about, it inspires me as a person to improve people’s life’s and to show our children that we were good people. We can’t be self centered all of the time. As a collective society we need to help and take care of people around us and ourselves, but that’s hard, but it can be done. For us, for the future, for the world.

    It mainly happened because I didn't realize he was quite as passionate about it, nor just how lazy I was feeling about the idea. I could've just said no and thats final, but it would've made my friend upset with me for a while, so socially you need powers of reasoning.

    I greatly appreciate the notion that we can not just appreciate the knowledge imparted to us by "classic" notions of debate, but that we ourselves might one day become that ancient teacher to our decedents. Where most channels skirt the actual questions they pose, few expend the energy to delve into them properly.

    Imagine a world where everyone thinks the same way, always agrees, and sees things from the same angle. Sounds peaceful, right? Not quite. This, in a nutshell, is the paradox of unanimity: sometimes, more agreement can actually mean less certainty.
    While we tend to trust decisions everyone supports, the truth is, the chances of everyone being truly independent and correct are surprisingly low. Why? Because we're human, and shared biases, groupthink, and even emotional contagion can easily sway everyone in the same direction, even if it's wrong.
    This doesn't mean every viewpoint needs to be extreme or completely different. But in ambiguous situations, where right and wrong aren't clear-cut, diversity of thought is crucial. It's like a puzzle: the more perspectives you have, the better chance you have of seeing the whole picture and finding the right solution.
    Here's the catch: blindly following the majority can be dangerous. Think about how easily rumors spread, even if they're untrue. In complex moral decisions, groupthink can lead to mass delusion, where everyone believes something is right simply because everyone else does. This can have serious consequences, hindering our ability to distinguish right from wrong and leading to harmful choices.
    So, the next time you encounter a situation where everyone seems to agree, remember the paradox of unanimity. Don't be afraid to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and see things from different angles. It might be uncomfortable, but it could also save us from making regrettable choices and pave the way for a more nuanced and just society.

      This. Right now my country is stuck in a seemingly infinite loop of election cycles and nobody seems to offer any sort of legislation to prevent this from happening.
      What bothers me about this is that it made me conclude that the people that lead the system will never fix its flaws because, ultimately, it works in their favor. Even the smaller parties find it convenient.
      The biggest problem with democracy is that no matter what party gets elected, the public is still ruled by politicians. You can't trust politicians to rely on anything but their own interests, even if their intentions are great. A change in the system is too risky for a politician to make, unless they want to risk losing their seat.
