  • If I'd had time and footage, I would have started this video with
    the collapse of the megafauna when humans first met this continent. I hope you'll accept this analogue in its stead.
    In short: Even if you love omelettes, there's wisdom in not cracking all your eggs.

    7:28 "So let's raise a glass to the Auk." I looked at the empty glass beside my keyboard and decided "what the heck, let's do it anyway". I raised my glass but then I noticed something. With reverence I carefully sipped the very last drop from my drink. It almost didn't make it all the way down to the rim and to my lips. Seems to me like a surprisingly fitting gesture. Thank you, Evan, for this video and all the others.

    The most frustrating thing about these extinctions is the twin responses of "It doesn't make any difference to MY life" and "It had nothing to do with me, it just happened".
    Indifference and lack of accountability are two of the most destructive traits of human beings.
    We have the capacity to care, and to take responsibility when we're at fault, but our instinct is to close our eyes and pretend it's not our problem.
    We're rapidly running out of time to change this, but I do believe that we can and we will. That's why media like Rare Earth are so important.
    I hope your drone feels better :) How did you manage to find a tree to run into on what Joey Smallwood called "this poor bald rock"!
    By the way, teasing your cameraman when he's the only one around who can go for help is not the best idea. He could be thinking of the Documentary Emmy he'll win for his short subject "Death Of An Idiot" :)

      While I think in general we should care more about preservation of species, we need to remember that humans are a component to nature as well and we should put ourselves before animals. For example, if there was a new species of malaria carrying mosquito in Africa but only developed in an isolated area, there's no reason we shouldn't stop our efforts to erradicate them just because they're nominally different from regular mosquitos and on the brink of extinction. Not all species should be protected.

    • @anonymouswhite7957
      @anonymouswhite7957 6 років тому +1

      ckatm397 but what about the plants there? the life cycle? ecosystem? maybe it is "harmful" for humans but such specimens are usually needed for the environment. in a jungle, mosquitos acts as a pollinator for small flowers, they played a big role in plants pollination, fruiting and reproduction. simply killing them all is an act for human convenience rather than for "nature". maybe it's better to just eradicate the malaria, rather than all the mosquitos in that vicinity?

    • @cameronrhanna
      @cameronrhanna 6 років тому +1

      @@anonymouswhite7957 Wow, I had no idea that mosquitos are important pollinators. I thought you were wrong and then I looked it up.
      I've got to agree with ckatm397, though. Humans are special. We've got fossils covering 500 million years of complex life on Earth and this is the first time something as complex as us has emerged. It may be the only time. It may be our destiny, for lack of a better word, to colonize all the stars and find a way to survive heat death of the universe, who knows. But what I do know, no matter how many other species we destroy before going extinct, if that is our fate, life will go on and evolution will fill the world again with new species.
      That's not to say we should be reckless with the environment, quite the opposite; I think we should plan on existing indefinately and we can't do that on a wasteland. But fundamentally I think we should act as though all of nature exists for our benefit because we have the most important work to do, even if we don't quite know what that is.

    Strangely enough, it's Europe that seems to work against this trend the hardest now. Not for any altruistic or grandiose reasons... Simply because we've been to the edge of what nature can take, and it's not nice. I'm german, and growing up acid rain warnings on TV were common. Industry had started here (the broader 'here', Europe), and here it brought nature to its knees first. It's not a pretty sight. It's like seeing your mother crying. It leaves no one untouched. But now there's salmon in the Rhine river again, when during my childhood its water wasn't deemed safe to swim in. Beavers, otters and wolves have been brought back. The nazi-era airforce base on the island Düne is now a seal sanctuary. Boars are returning. And so are sea eagles. I'm not saying that all of this excuses the crimes of Europeans across the world, it's not an excuse of any kind. But it's a little bit of hope.

      I remember sitting in the doctor's office looking at the endangered birds poster on the wall and being fascinated by the Red Kite, as I had never seen a real one; now when ever I go back home in the summer you can see at least 3 in the sky at any time.

      You know, we are still doing it, genocide I mean. I am from Brazil and around here the indigenous peoples genocide never ended, you see, it just faded into the background. There are a lot of tribes in Brazil, most of them inland, since we pretty much killed or enslaved those who lived near the cost. And every day now a logger, a rich farmer's militia soldier, o even a drug trafficker from São Paulo, goes deep into the heart of the amazon and kills every single indian they can find for profit. And that's not the sad part, the really sad part is that your average Brazilian hasn't heard a thing about it, and the international community hasn't heard a thing about it. We even elect politicians who have pockets lined with illegal logging, grileiros (land stealers), and several other business who have a very active interest in indigenous and preserved land. The president-elect once sad that quilombolas (communities of escaped african slaves that lived in remote areas to escape persecution) are fat and lazy and can't even serve as breeding-slaves. He also said that he won't give even one centimetre of land to any indigenous group. We are perpetuating a hidden genocide and no one talks about it.

      I felt and a part of me still feels the same way. I can't justify having children of my own; knowing what the future may hold. I'd rather adopt already alive children and give them the best life I possibly could until my death. It's hard to think what's worth living for when you're in that depressive state. One human alone can't solve all the problems of the Earth, even if I, or many others, want that to be the case. The only motivation I have is helping (in my case, sharks) the preservation of the Earth until there's a wave of change and we all look to helping our home. But I'm even doubtful of that ever happening.

    "Some people will tell you this is just how things are."
    It's so close to being correct: Remove the word 'just'. This is how things are... but we have the power to change that. Not in the individual sense - well, maybe - but as an entire species, we have an incredible amount of control over the world.
    I hope that this ceases to be "the way things are" before we're so deep into this campaign of extinction against our own home planet that the only diversity we know of is "the way things were".

    I'm sure that I am parroting many who have stumbled across this UA-cam channel Evan, but it needs to be said. You are producing reasonably un-biased content that is essential to the long-term well being of our collective societies. As a Canadian now nearing my 50's, it has long been a desire of mine to look at history aand culture through the eyes of the world and what is has been gained and lost through the development and assimilation of the earth.

    Hey Evan ! I really love your videos but since those mostly convey the messages through the audio part, have you ever thought about putting the episodes on Spotify ? I think it would be a good way to gain access to a bigger audience whilst allowing us to listen to them on the go. Cheers, and again nice work to the team !

    81 people that gave this a thumbs down,for whatever reason. That is why we're unlikely to succeed in staving off our own extinction. Those 81 people represent a disease in the mind and spirit of man,Wetiko. A toxic greed,incapable of self examination,and a lust for dominance that poisons the whole world. We live in an age now where 1 man,on a whim,or in a fit of rage,can destroy life on earth almost instantly. Just one man holds THAT power. Eventually,someone who will do it will hold that power,he may already even..

    Could be talking about human life "...laws were put in place to stop their wanton destruction, while scientists and concerned citizens started a campaign of assistance. But nobody listened. The wheels of time had already spun too far, and it was clear that no decree would be able to turn things around before the inevitable struck."

      Sadly on top of that we are kinda susceptible to "us vs them" narrative. Democrats vs Republicans, Christians x Muslims x Atheists, Left x Right x Moderates. We can unite, but only over very small things and on short term. Even the idea of Nationalism which kinda unite a huge group of people has been pretty destructive. However, looking at the real challenges our species need to face, we fall short.
      We can't even feed all the unfed even though we make more calories than needed and we waste so many on catch and destroy Ocean biodiversity. We can't even grant a proper place for people to poop with proper sanitation. We still think education and health aren't rights. We can't even eliminate slavery completely. We ignore the real price of things. Just go to a buffet and see the waste there. Collectively we just don't get it.

      Hahahah, this equilibrium you speak of is a myth. Domination and slaughter are human pastimes across all ages, all tribes and all civilizations. If not each other, then any of the organisms around them. Humanity's capacity for compassion extends as far as their comfort.
