The videos lately seem to be super condensed deep-dives into sociology and philosophy... and then suddenly tying that back into Minecraft somehow. I love the narration, and very curious to see where the 'build the earth' project moves to next.
Pippen sounds like that one random dude you'd talk to on a train ride home... he says some utterly mind blowing, brain imploding shit then walks away like nothing ever happened.
Between those initial positions listed... I hold the one that civilization won't collapse, but will become worse, and that even positive efforts to mitigate the effects now won't bear fruit in our lifetimes. This is on the scale of centuries, and won't be a solved problem for even our grandchildren. But It's kind of hard to "wipe out human civilization" once it's at this scale. I don't think even nuclear war would do that once you factor its practical limitations.
The question is what you mean by worse. As our technology increases, our quality of life rises alongside it. "The positive efforts to mitigate the effects" is called disaster response and we are getting quite good at it.
@@xenn4985 I am certainly not against positivity. I just personally, based on the evidence I've found, believe that productivity per capita and living standards will inevitably drop. Not apocalypse, but not a Utopian future either. A genuinely worse life for a couple centuries of people. If you think technology will fix this that's cool. I think it comes down to basic resource availability and logistics.
@@HisCarlnessI putting the future between two competing standards being utopian or apocalyptic is just... i want to insult you so bad but i will try my best to refrain. Do you think that the genuinely worse life you predict will be worse than say, the average persons life 50 years ago? The idea that the technological progress of humanity will not only cease to benefit our standard of living, but will somehow reverse course, is myopic IN THE EXTREME. The fact that you say "If you think technology will fix this" Just shows that you have no idea how civilization works let alone generations of humanity on the order of centuries. I never said technology will fix anything, i said technology will continue to increase the standard of living for humanity. Necessarily implying that regardless of how bad environmental factors become, humanities progress will continue. Like shit... yeah. Resource availability and logistics. If only we had some sort of... concept. Some broad notion of a thing that made it easier to harvest resources and easier still to allocate them. Damn if only...
@@xenn4985 I'm sorry you felt the need to insult me. Thank you for holding back I guess? I consider the framing of human history as "infinite technological progress" to be making assumptions I'm not willing to make. There are other frameworks for considering human progress that don't paint such an inevitably happy picture.
@@HisCarlnessI I also never framed human history as infinite technological progress. Someone in the 1500s being told of the technology we had TWENTY YEARS AGO would commit the same fallacy you're committing right now. They would equate the predictable if to the layman improbably outcome to some miraculous advancement that required divine intervention to occur. There is literally no other framework for considering human progress. History has demonstrated, civilization moves forward. Even the supposed dark age of europe is more or less a fabrication of modern times, and had its fair share of technological advancements and increases in standards of living. I defy you to submit to me a framework for the progress of humanity that does not paint an objectively positive picture and that cannot be torn to fucking shreds with an argument so banal that even a child wouldn't flinch at it.
I like how most of these videos ask a question, that can put a stop to the project, and later says “We’ll do our best and I hope that’s good enough”. Honestly, I believe it is.
A counter theory to the great civilization filter is that we as humans always think about progress and growth, and that a reason for why we haven’t seen other civilizations is that they don’t aim for that endless goal of progress and technology and growth.
I believe that all species will eventually fall into the want of progress and growth. It only takes a few people to want more progress, and then they have the ability to take over the people around them, and it all falls into chaos from there. There used to be a huge population of Native Americans completely content to just hang out. Then they were all but killed off. Maybe such intelligent species can't exist
i doubt it, nothing about humans is unique (besides our exact biological makeup ofc). constant progress and growth is a big deal in life, but maybe there is a limit to progress and growth?
Honestly maybe the reason that we haven’t found any other civilizations is that there just too advanced for us, they took their planets, sucked them dry of their resources and just left, or they may be hiding from us and everything else
An alternative reason for not seeing alien civilization is that there is a Fermi predator - one civilization that achieved interstellar travel, and sweeps the Galaxy exterminating intelligent life so no one arises to challenge it
Not that I'm tryna argue with you or anything, I just have an idea that may disprove this theory. I think if there was a Fermi predator out there... Don't you think we would've known about it or at least found any significant evidence to back up its existence? Sure, our space probes and telescopes and whatnot can't really see everything. They have their limits, and they will reach those limits eventually. But even if such a civilization were to exist, as they swiftly conquer the galaxy, how could they see this beautiful blue-and-green terrestrial planet, and not want to go take a drop in and see if any life was on it? It's like our story all over again. We see a planet that looks habitable, and the first thing that comes to mind is "Does life exist there?". Just... We would've heard about them by now. And that unnerving silence makes us think more and more that maybe we will be the first Fermi predator.
I've built a few things on BTE, but it just occured to me that I've never checked if there's a team working on chernobyl. That's a certainly interesting area, as even the city blocks and large buildings would need to be hand-modified
When you think about it, it would be incredible if one of the last clues about our current civilization, to whoever researches us in the future, is going to be the world of our current age recreated in minecraft
Yo what if the tectonic plates just say fuck it and drag a couple continents under while pushing a few new ones up. Completely change the shape of the landscape meanwhile millions of years later someone finds the hard drive or wall of hard drives containing Minecraft Earth
Ima be honest I did not expect to be watching this and hear Rugeley be mentioned (Went the cooling towers got destroyed I went to watch them in person as Rugeley is just not too far from where I am in the UK, I even have a video on my YT of it lol)
I'm very interested, because what if humans finally decide that the earth is too fricked up so they just move to mars or Venus or something. Would we have to start building mars too?
I think we should move beyond debating whether climate change exists or not and start asking if climate change is an inevitable apocalypse or something that we can comfortably manage in the future. I am optimistic that innovation and lifestyle changes within the next few decades will solve the issue of climate change and make the hysteria of the present seem like a childish moment of history.
Imagine aliens stumbling across our world, finding this server, then asking themselves, "Why is one third of it ordered, one third on fire, and one third untouched?" I wonder what conclusion they would come to in order to explain that.
I'm already getting vibes to the Horizon Games where your thrust into a World a Millenia after the Apocalypse and with the People of the New World having no Idea who Built the Ruins and what Led to there Downfall, and where do the Robotic Animals come from.
Hey @PippenFTS, i want to tell you that when your building the world, theres a place in my home city greensboro, that im not sure if google maps has updated this yet but theres a hospital near battleground road.
Fun fact: The universe is so broad that not only is it within definite probability there are other intelligent life forms in other solar systems, it is within probability that a copy of you exists somewhere else, that has lived or is living your exact life.
This is very incorrect. Even fairly shuffling a deck of cards the same way twice is not going to happen, anywhere in the observable universe, ever. The existence of copies of yourself and even of the entirety of the observable universe become a certainty with an infinite universe, but infinity is weird like that.
Perhaps not the observable universe, but assuming that we've only observed a small fraction of the total, in the full universe it is a certainty. I wasn't speaking of just the observable universe. My original statement was partially misleading, because I phrased it like the complete size of the universe is defined by our observations, which it is not.
0:30 I mean I think it's fair to say that, on the matter of imminent human extinction and the total destruction of human civilization that is already extreme to the extent that the number of deaths from catastrophic climate events has nearly doubled every single decade for the last 50 years and is presently spiking to abjectly absurd margins, it is completely fair to say that you're either with us or against us on the matter of stopping it. The current rate of sea-level rising means that, assuming it does not speed up or slow down, Florida will no longer exist by 2100. The rising sea level taints fresh water sources with salt making it unusable and megacorporations have begun buying aquifers with the intent to hoard the remaining water and sell it back to us at exorbitant prices. It reached 70 degrees fahrenheit at the fucking South Pole last autumn (late spring in the northern hemisphere, late autumn there, imagine it reaching 70 in the North Pole in November). Full stop, it is completely, 100%, fair to hate people whose actions will objectively lead to the annihilation of our world and a collective painful death for our entire generation and every one thereafter. Yeah, I hate people that are going to get me killed, sue me. You don't get to claim it's toxic to want to not die in the literal end of the world; the fact that you are privileged enough to think yourself above it is just proof that you're one of the lucky few rich enough to avoid the impending catastrophe. Somebody unwilling to state an actual side in the face of such destruction is either spoiled or stupid, and either way their opinion isn't worth shit.
Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for? In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look. It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world. We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet.

I'm here before this comment blows or not blows up
Agreed, he speaks about 8-9 minutes of nonsense and then gets to the point of the videos
Pippen would make a great philosophy teacher.
Pippen was my philosophy teacher.
for about 10mins

You could let people overwrite builds just via a slider which changes the time frame letting you save both versions

PippenFTS is my favorite Philosophy Channel
You’re so erudite dude I adore your videos and the dialogue your write for yourself. Such a treat.
i love how he gives a small little speech at the beginning i always forget im watching a mc video
“What happens in Vegas… wouldn’t.” That line cracked me up so much 🤣🤣🤣 Your narration is so good and creative, I appreciate it so much
We need to build the island nations so we can have an archive of them in the project
I found this channel like a week ago. And I have watched like half of the videos
Always a good day when pippen uploads
"17 seconds ago" damn I'm lucky
"What happens in vegas. Wouldn't."
idk why but I love the way you say Vegas
I absolutely love the philosophical ideas in these
Why do I get an existential crisis everytime I watch one of Pippen's videos???
thanks for that obama
Now this is the shishhhh I can get behind like minded people such as myself great vid bro
Good video bro!
Pippen please! Have you ever thought about rebranding from the wojak? Withholding all judgement as best I can, do you think it suits the channel well?
I've built a few things on BTE, but it just occured to me that I've never checked if there's a team working on chernobyl. That's a certainly interesting area, as even the city blocks and large buildings would need to be hand-modified
How am i not subbed this is so epic
This one UA-cam channel will destroy the entire tourism industry
6:20 dr stone ost kicks in
Dude...I just want to watch Minecraft Earth. I didn't know this would be a front row seat to philosophy.
When you think about it, it would be incredible if one of the last clues about our current civilization, to whoever researches us in the future, is going to be the world of our current age recreated in minecraft
Mabey before the project started you should have picked a specific time area to build in.
Yo what if the tectonic plates just say fuck it and drag a couple continents under while pushing a few new ones up. Completely change the shape of the landscape meanwhile millions of years later someone finds the hard drive or wall of hard drives containing Minecraft Earth
pov: clicks on Minecraft video :D. contemplates life D:
As someone who lives at lake powell... we don't have that water.
Las Vegas being abonded in the future seriosly gives off blade runner 2049 vibes.
What an intro. Bravo
30 seconds in and hes already taking about human thought patterns
Ima be honest I did not expect to be watching this and hear Rugeley be mentioned (Went the cooling towers got destroyed I went to watch them in person as Rugeley is just not too far from where I am in the UK, I even have a video on my YT of it lol)
Wait, I just realized, if you have Vegas, do you have the Titanic Museum in the Luxor built?
Nice video dude
Until no one can find the wold folder anymore
What will you do if the earth dies and we live on mars or something and no data of earth is left
i dont really like how he says ''veges'' instead of ''vegas'', but anyways great video👍
Solo imaginen cuando tenga que hacer Petare en Venezuela, una locura total
I'm very interested, because what if humans finally decide that the earth is too fricked up so they just move to mars or Venus or something. Would we have to start building mars too?
What if one day a group of very bored beings in a far future decide hey.... Why don't we recreate this digital map, in that world over there?
I think we should move beyond debating whether climate change exists or not and start asking if climate change is an inevitable apocalypse or something that we can comfortably manage in the future. I am optimistic that innovation and lifestyle changes within the next few decades will solve the issue of climate change and make the hysteria of the present seem like a childish moment of history.
2:35 is where the video starts.
i-i see where karens come from iv seen things and i cant go back
3:25 where's this video from?
im using firefox and i love the pop-out player!
Me too, but I use it on OperaGX and you should too, you get a free adblocker for youtube and other websites
I think my brain just died again
Is the end a “The Day After Tomorrow” reference?
Yes it is
conclusion: anything can break build the earth
I thought this was just gonna be a minecraft video not an essay
Pippen where have your single player live streams been for the last 4 months?
He's been trying to stay ahead of schedule with these videos
@@FunnyDestroyer ok thanks.
Imagine aliens stumbling across our world, finding this server, then asking themselves, "Why is one third of it ordered, one third on fire, and one third untouched?" I wonder what conclusion they would come to in order to explain that.

01:52 yay mmy city y
I think plugins can technically help with erosion/flooding and other things over time... Wait... Is this just SIM CITY?
I know right😅
Imagine the Ark universe comes true in the next few hundred years
Guys we gotta stop global warming so they can finish their minecraft project
Ja
Man he's looking far into the future
This feels like a lecture😅
Ever heard about the Netherlands?
Continental drift.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas
youve gon outdone yourself
Can I access the server from Minecraft Mobile?
Hey @PippenFTS, i want to tell you that when your building the world, theres a place in my home city greensboro, that im not sure if google maps has updated this yet but theres a hospital near battleground road.
my solution to sea levels: just make more space for the water to be in (am smart af)
Well We do need Water to Colonize Luna Mars Venus Space and More
Can you please do Meyerton SA i want to see my house
Is there a way to join on Bedrock? Because I want to help building the Netherlands
you can see details on the BTE discord server

We are making progress against global warming but bad news gets more clicks
While that's true, we're still not there yet, and there's still going to be painful changes, even if we do avoid the worst scenarios.
Just make a new world every 10 years, or 20. Then you could visit Earth in 2020, or 2040.
Is this even a minecraft video?
Or have the best of both worlds? Have a world save for the current Earth and then another for the updated Earth.
