I have no doubt the world is in for some turbulent (or as the Chinese say, "interesting") times but I have a good feeling most of us will make it and it will be grueling and hard but necessary. Heck! My grandparents and my great-grandmother, along with my parents and their respective families, made it through the colonial era of Nigeria, our civil war, military juntas, the cold war, and even I made it through the 2000s, the great recession, the SARS, Ebola, Avian flu pandemics, and much more. We humans are a stubborn and resilient species and many of us have experienced so serious stuff and I am damn sure we will survive what's coming, Amen.😊😊
These aren't the only problems though. There are also a LOT of social issues that will come crashing down when things get tough. General happiness in developed nations is at an all time low and so is trust in authorities. Suicide rates have skyrocketed and loneliness has reached over 40%.
Yeah for real. I think a big thing a lot of people are kind of glossing over when talking about... humans overcoming, and civilisation continuing, etc etc. is that all the social groundwork that is fundamental in ensuring our survival is being excavated and destroyed. Humans are being driven further and further apart from each other, both in a physical sense and in a socio-political one. They are depressed, lonely, nihilistic and there is no widespread value of community, or sense of faith (not purely organised religion but faith in others)... the nations that will survive are the ones self sufficient and continuing on as it is meant to be, which is all for one another. The ‘developed’ nations are probably gonna get it really bad when we eventually realise we can’t make it on our own and that a single-minded attitude is gonna land you dead. Individualistic mindsets are so dangerous, but everyone is becoming self obsessed and failing to learn how to connect to one another on an essential level. I just think things are spinning out of control...
It's an issue that not many are talking about or even come to notice, but it does seem like near all countries, even developed nations in the 1st world, are under corrupt, polarizing ineptocracies. Going through discussions made by people anywhere in the world, they are complaining about the same socio-political problems. When you have Swedes, Germans, Hungarians, Moroccans, Malians, Zimbabweans, Iranians, Indonesians, Mexicans, Peruvians, Americans, Canadians, Koreans, etc. all complaining simultaneously that their government is filled with corrupt autocratic imbeciles, you know there's a problem on a global scale. There's always been stable nations, less stable nations and downright unstable nations; but now almost all countries, developed or not, are undergoing a severe crisis of social trust practically at the same rate.
@@smellylorenny It goes against the whole concept of a civilisation, ironically. It's every man for himself until you realise you can just form a group with a bunch of people and help each other.
Well with the massive blow to the global food stores, harvests, and suspicious food processing plants catching on fire, we're probably gonna be hungry too
I think the biggest problem with immigration is that it only exists to be exploited by corporations. Companies either can't, or won't raise wages with inflation, so they need to bring in people who will tolerate harsh work conditions and low to medium wages. The problem with this is that it's not sustainable. The immigrants who move to developed nations will also have fewer children, because they won't be able to afford to. It's just an endless cycle of using people, one that bringing more people in won't solve. (At least not forever.)
It's not really about that I think. The immigrants that move to new countries are actually more likely to start businesses than natives. You say it like all immigrants are poor, desperate people that are in need of salvation from their corporate exploiters. No, they are independent souls. If they want work, have children or not, it's their own choice. As long as there's no welfare state, then really why not?
@@kyzantia8884 Hardly any inhabitants of any country today is a true native. Really, what we see as native, in the sense that some people have a right to be in a country (territory, really) while others do not, is a matter of conquest, and conquest alone. If, for example, the United States was taken over by some distant future warlords, then the people that conquered would, given 50 - 250 years, become natives as well.
This is by far the best video in your upload history so far. I love the energy and sarcasm. That line "Wait a second. Where are the kids?" killed me for no reason.
13:47 That's actually much closer than most people realize. Taking carbon out of the air is already entirely possible. The problem with it is that it's very energy intensive. As more and more advanced energy generation methods become available and drive down the cost of energy they will make carbon recapture more and more viable. This is especially true for something like solar. Normally the issue with solar is not solar itself, but its intermittency. The problem is indirect, on the side of energy storage rather than generation. This is why a fully renewable grid is still a long ways off. Guaranteed power whenever you need it is a necessity for the grid. However, this is a problem that carbon recapture is entirely free of. The devices for taking carbon from the atmosphere can simply be allowed to run whenever the energy is there. There is no need for them to run nonstop. This makes solar very viable as it is already, in a vacuum, quite cheap and only getting cheaper. All you have to do is brute force it by spamming solar panels and carbon capturing machines. It's actually possible that this method could even one day be profitable in using that captured carbon to make synthetically produced hydrocarbons. In other words, having net neutral fossil fuels by way of mass recycling and reuse of what already exists in the atmosphere. Unfortunately other forms of pollution such as plastic and chemical dumping into waters are significantly more difficult to undo.

We're definitely gonna suffer a lot of consequences before we manage fix anything. There has been massive scale collapses in the past but the one coming is gonna be the biggest and most impactful for future humans. Let's just hope it becomes a thing of the past like the middle ages are to us today.
Agreed, too many people dismiss the empending climate crisis because, "things like this have already happened, so there is nothing to worry about". a few very obvious things wrong with that statement: 1. Since our ongoing issues are unquestionably man-made, this could have been entirely avoidable, or at the very least mitigated. Anyone saying that this is like any other enviornmental change is being dishonest. 2. People are misunderstanding the scale of the issue, its not a matter of the planet slightly increasing in tempreture. Most animal species are dying out, this includes overlooked animals like insects, birds, and fish, which contribute a lot to the eco-system along with many intermediary species that move between territories and land masses. Water levels and tempretures are rising, which is going to make our lives much more miserable, as many people have seen in 2022, people in the world simultaneously experienced unpreccedented droughts AND floods, making food growth even more challenging for a large global population. 3. Rare minerals are going to run out in the future, and FAST, so any tech solutions people are pointing to may become obsolete. Yes, this includes nuclear energy. Our society is not prepared for this level of scarcity given that we operate in an economic structured that is designed to maximize enviornmental exploitation for profits.
One common misconception is that the earth is dying. The earth will not falter, humanity will falter. Nature is extremely resilient, even if heaven and earth were to collide, organisms and living beings would adapt in due time. Though most of the life forms found on this planet have died, we remain. The steady march of technology may bring about our annihilation, yet it will most surely not wipe out life.

And doesn`t exhausts the ground's ability to grow even something. Fertilisers can only do so much if the ground is already... death. The Amazonas - the part made into farmland is a good example.

And after this the former farmland becomes grazing land for cattle.

@@frags6940 Looking at Europe these days not too sure .
For reference I'm Australian and we're freaking out too 😅😅😅
I saw this comment on whatifalthistory's video too.
Well people in Europe survived two world wars in 20 years
These aren't the only problems though. There are also a LOT of social issues that will come crashing down when things get tough. General happiness in developed nations is at an all time low and so is trust in authorities. Suicide rates have skyrocketed and loneliness has reached over 40%.
I can attest to the low trust in authorities, as I don’t trust them after getting in trouble for things I didn’t even do. FFS. 😒
Yeah for real. I think a big thing a lot of people are kind of glossing over when talking about... humans overcoming, and civilisation continuing, etc etc. is that all the social groundwork that is fundamental in ensuring our survival is being excavated and destroyed. Humans are being driven further and further apart from each other, both in a physical sense and in a socio-political one. They are depressed, lonely, nihilistic and there is no widespread value of community, or sense of faith (not purely organised religion but faith in others)... the nations that will survive are the ones self sufficient and continuing on as it is meant to be, which is all for one another. The ‘developed’ nations are probably gonna get it really bad when we eventually realise we can’t make it on our own and that a single-minded attitude is gonna land you dead. Individualistic mindsets are so dangerous, but everyone is becoming self obsessed and failing to learn how to connect to one another on an essential level. I just think things are spinning out of control...
It's an issue that not many are talking about or even come to notice, but it does seem like near all countries, even developed nations in the 1st world, are under corrupt, polarizing ineptocracies. Going through discussions made by people anywhere in the world, they are complaining about the same socio-political problems. When you have Swedes, Germans, Hungarians, Moroccans, Malians, Zimbabweans, Iranians, Indonesians, Mexicans, Peruvians, Americans, Canadians, Koreans, etc. all complaining simultaneously that their government is filled with corrupt autocratic imbeciles, you know there's a problem on a global scale. There's always been stable nations, less stable nations and downright unstable nations; but now almost all countries, developed or not, are undergoing a severe crisis of social trust practically at the same rate.
Not to mention the explosion of wealth and income inequality.

I think the biggest problem with immigration is that it only exists to be exploited by corporations. Companies either can't, or won't raise wages with inflation, so they need to bring in people who will tolerate harsh work conditions and low to medium wages.
The problem with this is that it's not sustainable. The immigrants who move to developed nations will also have fewer children, because they won't be able to afford to. It's just an endless cycle of using people, one that bringing more people in won't solve. (At least not forever.)
Importing people to sustain the population else the population crashes.
Research actually shows immigrants tend to be more fertile
It's not really about that I think. The immigrants that move to new countries are actually more likely to start businesses than natives. You say it like all immigrants are poor, desperate people that are in need of salvation from their corporate exploiters. No, they are independent souls. If they want work, have children or not, it's their own choice. As long as there's no welfare state, then really why not?
I dont want the native people of my country to become a minority, no thanks, i would rather be poor.
@@kyzantia8884 Hardly any inhabitants of any country today is a true native. Really, what we see as native, in the sense that some people have a right to be in a country (territory, really) while others do not, is a matter of conquest, and conquest alone. If, for example, the United States was taken over by some distant future warlords, then the people that conquered would, given 50 - 250 years, become natives as well.

That's actually much closer than most people realize. Taking carbon out of the air is already entirely possible. The problem with it is that it's very energy intensive. As more and more advanced energy generation methods become available and drive down the cost of energy they will make carbon recapture more and more viable. This is especially true for something like solar. Normally the issue with solar is not solar itself, but its intermittency. The problem is indirect, on the side of energy storage rather than generation. This is why a fully renewable grid is still a long ways off. Guaranteed power whenever you need it is a necessity for the grid. However, this is a problem that carbon recapture is entirely free of. The devices for taking carbon from the atmosphere can simply be allowed to run whenever the energy is there. There is no need for them to run nonstop. This makes solar very viable as it is already, in a vacuum, quite cheap and only getting cheaper. All you have to do is brute force it by spamming solar panels and carbon capturing machines.
It's actually possible that this method could even one day be profitable in using that captured carbon to make synthetically produced hydrocarbons. In other words, having net neutral fossil fuels by way of mass recycling and reuse of what already exists in the atmosphere.
Unfortunately other forms of pollution such as plastic and chemical dumping into waters are significantly more difficult to undo.

This was fun

Lmaooo this video is so underrated, i like this different type of video
absolutely fantastic video!
highlighted and captured the Zeitgeist very well! :)
Mate this is really well condensed and explained
This video is very focused on the crises we will face whilst seemingly disregarding the fact that we can face them. Inaction is the symptom of tons of global problems. Climate change, human rights, hell, even mental illness. There are things we can do. There are things you can do.
Go out. Get connected. Talk to others and enact change. You are more influential than you think!
Nice vid btw, love your covering and elevation of these issues. I just feel we don't need to be so doom and gloom all the time. Things are bad, maybe worse than ever, but there is nothing humanity hasn't been able to achieve if we apply ourselves. And humanity starts with you :)
Adapting to climate change will be the way to fight. Preventing it will prove a failure I think
it’s been like this for decades, but we’re a resilient species so we’ll see how it turns out in 20 years
No it has not. Climate change is getting more and more extreme, its effects are exponential. Just look how much damage COVID did to our societies. Climate change is and will be orders of magnitude WORSE.

We're definitely gonna suffer a lot of consequences before we manage fix anything. There has been massive scale collapses in the past but the one coming is gonna be the biggest and most impactful for future humans. Let's just hope it becomes a thing of the past like the middle ages are to us today.
Agreed, too many people dismiss the empending climate crisis because, "things like this have already happened, so there is nothing to worry about".
a few very obvious things wrong with that statement:
1. Since our ongoing issues are unquestionably man-made, this could have been entirely avoidable, or at the very least mitigated. Anyone saying that this is like any other enviornmental change is being dishonest.
2. People are misunderstanding the scale of the issue, its not a matter of the planet slightly increasing in tempreture. Most animal species are dying out, this includes overlooked animals like insects, birds, and fish, which contribute a lot to the eco-system along with many intermediary species that move between territories and land masses. Water levels and tempretures are rising, which is going to make our lives much more miserable, as many people have seen in 2022, people in the world simultaneously experienced unpreccedented droughts AND floods, making food growth even more challenging for a large global population.
3. Rare minerals are going to run out in the future, and FAST, so any tech solutions people are pointing to may become obsolete. Yes, this includes nuclear energy. Our society is not prepared for this level of scarcity given that we operate in an economic structured that is designed to maximize enviornmental exploitation for profits.
"Bones, sinking like stones
All that we fought for
Homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for" -coldplay
One common misconception is that the earth is dying. The earth will not falter, humanity will falter. Nature is extremely resilient, even if heaven and earth were to collide, organisms and living beings would adapt in due time. Though most of the life forms found on this planet have died, we remain. The steady march of technology may bring about our annihilation, yet it will most surely not wipe out life.
Try telling that to the media, everyone will laugh cos they don't know sh#t.

And doesn`t exhausts the ground's ability to grow even something. Fertilisers can only do so much if the ground is already... death. The Amazonas - the part made into farmland is a good example.

And after this the former farmland becomes grazing land for cattle.
