      Notice how they don't talk about the world without the dragon. The next sentence could be, "and then the economic collapse caused by the project and the death of the dragon, coupled with an influx of old people, caused the nation to descend into utter chaos for the next century, and killing far more people in that time than the dragon ever would have."
      Actions have consequences. Killing the dragon is good. What is the cost?

      David Tucker Camps are more about indoctrination and forced labor, extremely few are purposefully killed, but I get your point and agree with it; we need to prepare for the consequences of immortality and it’s not wise to do it if we can’t suffer the consequences. The point of the video though is that death shouldn’t be viewed as part of the “natural process” of life, it should be abolished and the work around for things like over-population should be worked out. I personally think the video is fine in ignoring this, but that’s up for debate.

    The only thing that I'm miffed you left out of this story, likely for brevity, was this:
    "Sometimes the dragon would devour these unfortunate souls upon arrival; sometimes again it would lock them up in the mountain where they would wither away for months or years before eventually being consumed."
    The dragon doesn't just kill us. It tortures us.

      A real scientist should be able to accurately predict approximately how long a project should take. Most of the times we get to hear about their predictions, however, it is often exaggerated or misunderstood by journalists, public speakers and others. This is shown accurately in the video, as the scientists said they might be able to do it in 12 years with proper funding (then everyone began funding it and supporting it), while the king said they'd do it in 10 years.

    The thing that I like the most about this story is the fact that the center point of it is not the dragon, but the human capacity of always overcoming seemingly impossible challenges. And that makes the story very appealing and "malleable". The dragon is a metaphor for death by old age, this much seems obvious going through the story, but with slight tweaks, the same concept could work very easily on other big problems like cancer or climate change, and I think that this thing speaks volumes about how beautifully this concept is exposed.

      ​@@natesmodelsdoodles5403 OP of this thread thinks cancer can somehow be avoided as though its not part of aging, but 2/3 of all cancer is caused by time over which chemical accidents can take place to activate the mechanisms for cell-division and telomere-lengthening. Cancer is as much aging as parkinson's and arthritis and cardiovascular disease. Cancer is also the only aging disease called cancer regardless of where it happens in the body. Meanwhile if you get Parkinson's for losing certain braincells over time then we don't call it Parkinson's when it happens in your pace-maker cells in your heart, we call it "heart disease". And then when it happens in your muscles we call it "age-related muscle-atrophy" or something like that. "Aging" is the dumbest worst word in modern language, because that word causes more confusion and apathy than anything.

      ociNNico to be fair it’s a tactical necessity. If the dragon thinks everything is still functioning the way it has been, then it has no reason to move. Even when the missile comes and he sees it, experience has taught him he’s invincible, and thus he still has no reason to move, if anything he has more reason to crush their hope by tanking the missile with his assumed invincibility. However, if he doesn’t get his food the same way he has, there’s a chance he will become enraged and leave the mountain and head for the town. Not only would that mean the missile wouldn’t hit, since the target moved, but also now there’s an angry dragon coming towards them .

If after dozens of years, these kittens now start throwing little pebbles at empty patches of dirt, would you be scared? No. Of course not. You might think that they're attacking, but just like the last times, you'll win the fight.

      It’s now my headcanon that the dragon was a mother demanding tribute so she could support her son.

      I live in venezuela. I already have a hard time imagining that I will get out of this country. If I do, it will probably be years of hard inmigrant life.
      I expect that your chance to get in the train is inversely proportional to how rich you are and directly proportional to your age

      androkguz your situation is unfortunate but for most of the globe tomorrow is better than yesterday and it's statistically true that if you are below 40 you'll live to see it, you may look to the near future with bad eyes but you can be sure that in the long run you'll manage the way (you and your country)

      Yeah... I don't know man. It sounds too naive.
      I mean, sure, there's a long run win, but the present takes its toll

    Humans are always in love with their own misery. That's why it takes so long to fix anything. Even in the beginning people believed that anaesthesia was evil, because it eliminated pain, which was considered devine punishment for original sin.
