The most lucid, honest, best-intentioned, vital forum I've ever come across for the discussion of our collective predicament. I am more grateful than I can express that I discovered The Great Simplification this year. It has informed me, focused my thinking, and made me feel much less alone. Thank you Nate and team for doing this important work. May your influence continue to extend in 2024.
I have often wondered if, at the age of 75, I might be losing my mental faculties. The Great Simplification reassures me constantly that I have not. The world is crazy. Not me.
@@philawsonfur Within the body of information found with permaculture there is an idea to think for a hundred hours about and before doing an hour of work. Kind of a ridiculous this 100:1 ratio but it makes a point. Maybe with the most difficult of work its true but I haven't taken on anything of the sort, just want to take care of my self basically and show the few interested how I am doing this. It is nice to sip on coffee for a few hours in the early morning looking about and dream towards expanding the growing system I am building up. Though. You might like it.
Thank you Nate, for your ability to pull insights, ideas and wisdom from your guests. I also appreciate your openness to multiple perspectives, lack of blaming and shaming, surfacing of difficult facts, and non-ideological perspective. It's impossible to solve problems unless you understand them. All the best to you for 2024.
Blaming and shaming isn’t constructive that’s true. But I do think being critical or pointing out conflict of interest is super important. Bill gates and Jeremy stands to make billions as society goes more green. It doesn’t reduce inequality but rather widens it making them ever richer. It’s like bill gates bought stock in 2019 for $18 and sold in 2021 at $300 and then said a certain shottt wasn’t affective. Like facts like these showing conflict of interest and perfectly mimicking insider trading should give people cause to pause and ponder. Bill gates says beef is horrible, and he also owns beyond meat selling fake burgers. Warren buffet buying up the rest of Pilot and oil producers also makes me wonder. It’s like why is this guy promoting fossil fuels when he’s pro earth? I totally understand why younger people are Democrat. I’m becoming more likely to go that way. I don’t think a wealth tax would pass cause it sounds bad. They need to call it a property tax on equities of the top 1% of 5% a year or something. If the rich are taxed as they benefit from the green movement and massive government spending and then that money goes to help actual poor people buy EVs it’s like okay then maybe I’ll believe Jeremy cares about the earth and not just pushing his own book. I think of other “experts” Kevin o Leary said Sam bankmen fried was clearly trustworthy cause both of his Parents were lawyers at Stanford. We gotta listen to the experts haha
Thanks for your reply. The challenge is that one person can cover only so much ground. I appreciate that Nate is focusing on the facts on the ground, not the people walking on the ground. It's human nature to rush to the personal and the political. Everything you mentioned needs to be covered, and many UA-cam channels do cover these topics. What I like here is the search for scientific and universal truths. I appreciate your thoughtful comment.@@koltoncrane3099
You're awesome, Nate. You embody the best parts of being human - goodness and intelligence. Thank you for sharing your gifts. Bless you and yours in the coming year. From Colorado.
Brilliant video collage of inescapable truths at a time when truth itself is an endangered "natural resource". Many thanks to the staff of the Great Simplification.
Gratitude to Nate, his team and those following and those that will follow in the future. The heavy hitting truths revealed here are not for the fainthearted!
Thank you to you & your team. You've inspired me & have impacted my learning in ways you are not aware of. Even though your impact on others may be unknown & unseen to you, they are a life-affirming force of immeasurable strength & reach, like ripples in the water. Thanks from Illinois & blessings to you & your team in 2024 😊
Actively pursuing minimalism, living within my means and not going into consumer debt. Establishing strong family and friends, neighborhood connections. Working on buying local food, and reducing my necessity on tech to get my goods and services. Simple things like canning, scratch cooking, buying a local quarter cow with three other families, or hunting and fishing. 2024, let's hope I do a better job.
Thank you, Nate. Exactly what I would have wanted as a New Year's gift to share with others in the social circles with which I am acquainted. Wonderfully affirming for me, as the points you brought forward all pretty much align with the conclusions I have come to in my 70 years on the planet. I had to back up the video several times because many of the speakers inspired a mini-storm of ideas I've been wanting to write about, but hadn't yet fully framed. Every person I admire with whom I've shared your channel who have taken up the offer have come back to me with enthusiastic thanks. Let's strive to keep getting the conversation out there to more and more people. Elevating human beings' inquisitive awareness and the ability to perceive both our current breakdowns and potentials as a species participating in Life on Earth as a whole, from a clear-eyed and constructive perspective, is essential if we are to pass this most critical of our species' tests to date. This will be a different world, a peaceful world where all living things thrive, when (and if) we succeed. It may be a long journey, but it is the only one worth taking from my perspective.
Thanks so much for the recap. I’ve rewatched several episodes over the course of year, often to ensure I have my facts straight when communicating our predicament to folks in my sphere. Seeing this recap motivates me to rewatch all of the episodes again and to share this video in hopes of motivating others to view this podcast.
This is a wonderful (?) summary of the human, and so many other creatures, predicaments. Thanks for putting this together. Hard to see how we are going to get our acts together.
Thanks Nate, for the many knowledgeable and wonderful guests, this collage has given me a refresher of what’s available on your podcasts, I’ve watched every one to date, not all have left me wishing for more but those that have I’ve returned to several times. I’m looking forward to many many more in 2024🤔

"Happy" New Year. I know our actions will change as we face more and more consequences from our behavior. We need good information to guide those actions. Thanks Nate for providing that.
There was a professor from Utah I saw on UA-cam talking about how complex systems may fail. It’s like if people actually believed in complex systems more likely to fail for society it’s like you’d think nuclear reactors or coal power plants would be promoted rather than wind and solar that literally depends on a global supply chain especially if society collapses and you have to focus on local economies if transportation etc is devastated.
We have been part of this movement, this alarm system since the early 1970's, over 50 years..People didn't have all the data back then, that we do today, but we did know that we would be in big trouble if things remained the same..We are destroying the base of the food chain in the oceans which is phytoplankton, which also produces our oxygen.. And insects, the base of the food chain on land which also conditions the soil for things to grow like our food and the burning forests which produces the rest of our oxygen..Forests can disappear and be destroyed so quickly..We are in crazy trouble from so many angles, it's a perfect storm..The growth market system is certainly a religion, and so is our technology, which has us in this situation..The faith in market systems is disappearing, but the faith in technology has never been stronger..And like it or not, we are not a mature enough species to wield any mass produced technology, hence the tens of thousands of nuclear weapons pointed at you and me, and every civilization to ever exist, either being conquered by superior technology, destroy their own environment, or fail to adapt to a quickly changing environment because of wasting their resources..Our situation is nothing new, it's par for the course, and the pinnacle of the cycle of civilizational collapse, because we are a species that refuses to mature and continues to celebrate and reward greed, ego and violence..And the planet couldn't possibly facilitate, accommodate or tolerate another civilization like ours, once we collapse in the near future..It's who we are and what we do..
According to many of our founding fathers for Democracy to succeed it requires an educated populace ! Thank you for putting these podcasts together as we must be in the Endtimes with the decreasing IQ testscores in the USA ! It does not help that we lead the world in single parent familys !
education, teaching, is the single most important activity in all of humanity's history and no other profession comes even _remotely_ close. Without it, _everything_ , goes to shit within a decade if not sooner.
I'm glad most of these people and many others are contributing in positive ways to our future, but unless the wealthy and powerful who's objectives, for the most part, are at odds with a stable and sane world are reigned in there is no hope. Maybe it is just part of human nature, but seems that a disproportionate number of people at the top (economically and in positions of power) are either born sociopaths or evolve to become that way. In the US, it has become starkly apparent that the people in government and those scrambling for power are of low quality (dishonest, ignorant, greedy, and philosophically medieval) and getting worse.
This, plus we are now living in a modern system that is not easy to replace. Can we return to an agrarian age without farm machinery, no trucks and no heating?
I truly believe that the American People have been intentionally dumbed down and that our elected representative are the first "fruits" of that effort.
Some good news is that Americans are not successfully purchasing electric cars and trucks! Electric cars and trucks are not in any way sustainable. Thanks for putting forth concerns that require both so much greater attention and action!

Nate, as usual, thank you for your good work. Point I wanted to add to the discussion based on comments within this wonderful compilation. I don’t believe that our civilization has evolved such that dominant strong men have evolved into psychopaths. Our ability to communicate has actually created a D evolutionary situation, within which our cooperative nature has allowed very weak men to communicate and coordinate, such that rather than strong men, rising to the top, weak men, who are motivated from a place of self interest, and sociopathy, and psychopathy, are able to coordinate other weak men in a mutual effort for power. Our genetic evolution would lead us to the point where strong men would need to buy for control of breeding rights Ultimately weeding out the most aggressive men who would have to fight multiple battles to maintain dominance, leading to strong men with more cooperative natures, ultimately passing along their genetic material. However, weak men coordinating through and ever increasing complexity of civilization structures as lettuce to this point that psychopaths now dominate the world.referring to the Iroquois confederacy we need to consciously invite a narrative of elder women to take charge of our society to dig our way out of this hole.
Many wise elder women I know are taking action behind the scenes and coming together in their spiritual wisdom traditions as powerful and active beacons of steadfast Love. It may sound a bit woo, but I belong to a large meditation group in the PNW dedicated to creating a “Net of Light” with our hearts in order to hold the world during these times of transition. This is a non-denominational movement, and there are groups all over the world. Many indigenous lineages are working together in this. We seek to bring more balance into a world that has swung very far into the extreme masculine principle, the “yang” if you will. I feel a bit shy sharing this in such a scientific forum, but your comment spurred me on. Thank you for reading.
Abut population, we would have the same issues if the poorer half of the world wasn't living. Sorry, I lost the source for that, but OCC did mention it not so long ago.
Maan, absolutely every thing i do is to make sure that if i can't reach a safe place to thrive peacefully before something ccatches me off guard, that not 1 single cell or fragment of DNA is viable for replication, reproduction, modification, mass production, into the hands or business plans or laboratories oor culture clubs and used in a manner against the manner of its creation and virtues. Sold, donated, enslaved, cycled or looped into the system of anyone or anything.. not for a " good cause", not a kidney cell, not a distant relative of a brain eating amoeba weird cousin, i felt what my ancestors endured, and the truth is that not a speck of consideration, truth, best interest, compassion love, empathy has been present in trying to silence me and take what they feel they are entitled to, and that's because I was ritualistic linked to a well for narcissists to just feed upon and torture and harvest after they can't find anymore ways to inflict damage and trauma. Red line it's ending here.
OK, we followed the money. Time to end the flow. Begins with solidarity and co-operation between the tribes of culture, focused on evolving our minds to the accelerated entropy in a world of finite supply. Math. ShakeUp XR
An UBI could have a positive effect on lowering and stabilizing human populations if the basic income is tied to population numbers. Then if PNs go up, the BI goes down and vis. An economic incentive for a sustainable human species.
It shows an acceleration in the pattern of change and the speed of change , i think ordinary people are definitely aware of this quickening - all your interviews are showing how the dots are joining - but have so many diverse tribes now and putting down our weapons to face the real enemy seems impossible especially when the enemy is within us as a species
Seasons greetings. It won’t matter in another 15 or so years, X-class solar flares will ensure the lights go out, for years. Whilst we are struggling with the first, more will come, as the end of Gleissburg cycle no 316 brings the cataclysm and ensuing ice age. Paradoxically, they’ll need drilling engineers in the post next ice-age era, some 150 years plus from 2046, as without them, they’ll not be able to redevelop beyond (again, paradoxically) hydrocarbons. Diesel will still be needed to run the machines that will help drive the new humans’ somewhat cooler future. RIP Doug Vogt, Diehold Foundation, Series 4: watch all of them. 🖐🏻
That is the real Elephant in the room that is ignored and needs to be discussed in thorough. If they researched that aspect they would also find the weakening magnetic field it would address the carbon issues, rise in cancer and even the insect problem. Hopefully 2024 will see this addressed and stop with all these other distractions.
@@briansprung Amen. The weakening magnetic field and the implications of the Gleissburg cycle is the portent that dare not be recognised, by those blind to reality. People making plans for their children and grandchildren, all the while dutifully playing by the rules, being screwed and poisoned by their betters and all the while paying for the privilege. “Après nous, la déluge”, as we say in Scotland!
I wish climate alarmists would stop using gasoline, grocery stores, electricity from the grid, airplanes, and walk the walk. Easy to be an alarmist. Difficult to walk the walk. Machines make the wealth now. Machines need coal, oil, natural gas, electricity. Humans are just cows on a farm being farmed with IOUs worth nothing. Never been a better time to be alive for all eight billion people. I am very optimistic. If we don't manage the problem we will be culled from the herd and die. Not a big deal really. Thanks Nate.
hello, please excuse me for this question that is not 100% clear to me (i’m. ew to the channel) does the people in this community/channel eat certain animals? or are inclined not to eat animals? or “just don’t eat animals”? thank you
I am uncertain if I understand the question or its meaning, but regarding avoiding eating meat, it solves nothing. The problem isn't _what_ we eat. The problem is that there are _ten billion people_ that need to be fed. No matter what kind of food you choose to produce, producing enough to feed _this many people_ will be catastrophic.
2:08 "and it's accelerating at 2% per year" do they mean "increasing" ? I hope they mean inreasing. Anyway... 2% per year means it will double every 35 years. 1 in 7 today, 2 in 7 in 2060, 4 in 7 near the end of the century. Fuuuun tiiiiimes
21:56 He stepped over the line there!!!! I don't believe in god, neither do I believe all the bull shit he claims I do. What's worse, People who believe in god go down the same path of lust for riches. Take God out of the picture and we need to take responsibility for our own actions. We go by the laws of nature instead of the laws of some self proclaimed "mouth piece of God"!
Dear Luke Gromen, I don't think that you understand Arab culture. In 5 years that contract with Qatar may not be honored. And how are you going to make them honor it? How will you make Qatar deliver the gas or oil to your ship? If the international price increases a lot over your contract price Qatar can sell it to someone else for a lot more.

@@ideafood4U No. But don't include me in we. :-)
Nate you're doing God's work.. and I'm not even religious.
Some good news is that Americans are not successfully purchasing electric cars and trucks!
Electric cars and trucks are not in any way sustainable.
Thanks for putting forth concerns that require both so much greater attention and action!
Well done! ⭐

Nate, as usual, thank you for your good work. Point I wanted to add to the discussion based on comments within this wonderful compilation. I don’t believe that our civilization has evolved such that dominant strong men have evolved into psychopaths. Our ability to communicate has actually created a D evolutionary situation, within which our cooperative nature has allowed very weak men to communicate and coordinate, such that rather than strong men, rising to the top, weak men, who are motivated from a place of self interest, and sociopathy, and psychopathy, are able to coordinate other weak men in a mutual effort for power. Our genetic evolution would lead us to the point where strong men would need to buy for control of breeding rights Ultimately weeding out the most aggressive men who would have to fight multiple battles to maintain dominance, leading to strong men with more cooperative natures, ultimately passing along their genetic material. However, weak men coordinating through and ever increasing complexity of civilization structures as lettuce to this point that psychopaths now dominate the world.referring to the Iroquois confederacy we need to consciously invite a narrative of elder women to take charge of our society to dig our way out of this hole.
Many wise elder women I know are taking action behind the scenes and coming together in their spiritual wisdom traditions as powerful and active beacons of steadfast Love. It may sound a bit woo, but I belong to a large meditation group in the PNW dedicated to creating a “Net of Light” with our hearts in order to hold the world during these times of transition. This is a non-denominational movement, and there are groups all over the world. Many indigenous lineages are working together in this. We seek to bring more balance into a world that has swung very far into the extreme masculine principle, the “yang” if you will. I feel a bit shy sharing this in such a scientific forum, but your comment spurred me on. Thank you for reading.
Our inexorable collapse. The writing is on the wall for those who are paying attention. Enjoy what you have now.
So long and thanks for all the fish
Please do an episode in 2024 in regards to Space Weather and its implications on todays digital society with our weakening Magnetic Field.
Abut population, we would have the same issues if the poorer half of the world wasn't living.
Sorry, I lost the source for that, but OCC did mention it not so long ago.
This is the Shohei Ohtani of videos.
Magnifique ! And so tragic...
Science is great! It has given us all these toxic chemicals.
Maan, absolutely every thing i do is to make sure that if i can't reach a safe place to thrive peacefully before something ccatches me off guard, that not 1 single cell or fragment of DNA is viable for replication, reproduction, modification, mass production, into the hands or business plans or laboratories oor culture clubs and used in a manner against the manner of its creation and virtues. Sold, donated, enslaved, cycled or looped into the system of anyone or anything.. not for a " good cause", not a kidney cell, not a distant relative of a brain eating amoeba weird cousin, i felt what my ancestors endured, and the truth is that not a speck of consideration, truth, best interest, compassion love, empathy has been present in trying to silence me and take what they feel they are entitled to, and that's because I was ritualistic linked to a well for narcissists to just feed upon and torture and harvest after they can't find anymore ways to inflict damage and trauma. Red line it's ending here.
Now I want to watch all those vids...
OK, we followed the money. Time to end the flow. Begins with solidarity and co-operation between the tribes of culture, focused on evolving our minds to the accelerated entropy in a world of finite supply. Math. ShakeUp XR
An UBI could have a positive effect on lowering and stabilizing human populations if the basic income is tied to population numbers. Then if PNs go up, the BI goes down and vis. An economic incentive for a sustainable human species.
i have time and energy to put but i dont know where
Wilful aggression sum it all up as source of the problem.
Insert Abba song, "Happy New Year," here ......
It shows an acceleration in the pattern of change and the speed of change , i think ordinary people are definitely aware of this quickening - all your interviews are showing how the dots are joining - but have so many diverse tribes now and putting down our weapons to face the real enemy seems impossible especially when the enemy is within us as a species
Seasons greetings. It won’t matter in another 15 or so years, X-class solar flares will ensure the lights go out, for years. Whilst we are struggling with the first, more will come, as the end of Gleissburg cycle no 316 brings the cataclysm and ensuing ice age. Paradoxically, they’ll need drilling engineers in the post next ice-age era, some 150 years plus from 2046, as without them, they’ll not be able to redevelop beyond (again, paradoxically) hydrocarbons. Diesel will still be needed to run the machines that will help drive the new humans’ somewhat cooler future. RIP Doug Vogt, Diehold Foundation, Series 4: watch all of them. 🖐🏻
That is the real Elephant in the room that is ignored and needs to be discussed in thorough. If they researched that aspect they would also find the weakening magnetic field it would address the carbon issues, rise in cancer and even the insect problem. Hopefully 2024 will see this addressed and stop with all these other distractions.
@@briansprung Amen. The weakening magnetic field and the implications of the Gleissburg cycle is the portent that dare not be recognised, by those blind to reality. People making plans for their children and grandchildren, all the while dutifully playing by the rules, being screwed and poisoned by their betters and all the while paying for the privilege. “Après nous, la déluge”, as we say in Scotland!
......... all of the above .........

The Earth doesn't need humans...
I wish climate alarmists would stop using gasoline, grocery stores, electricity from the grid, airplanes, and walk the walk. Easy to be an alarmist. Difficult to walk the walk. Machines make the wealth now. Machines need coal, oil, natural gas, electricity. Humans are just cows on a farm being farmed with IOUs worth nothing. Never been a better time to be alive for all eight billion people. I am very optimistic. If we don't manage the problem we will be culled from the herd and die. Not a big deal really. Thanks Nate.

Whose the cultivate Kansas City guy?
hello, please excuse me for this question that is not 100% clear to me (i’m. ew to the channel)
does the people in this community/channel eat certain animals? or are inclined not to eat animals? or “just don’t eat animals”?
thank you
I think you'll find a mix of people with different diets here.
@@jdlutz1965 😀ok, understand.
i think i was referring “more to the message of the main ‘speakers’ or guest’ of the channel,, but it’s ok
👍🏼
I am uncertain if I understand the question or its meaning, but regarding avoiding eating meat, it solves nothing. The problem isn't _what_ we eat. The problem is that there are _ten billion people_ that need to be fed. No matter what kind of food you choose to produce, producing enough to feed _this many people_ will be catastrophic.
Now you need Neville Goddard to wake you more happy trails!
2:08 "and it's accelerating at 2% per year" do they mean "increasing" ? I hope they mean inreasing. Anyway... 2% per year means it will double every 35 years. 1 in 7 today, 2 in 7 in 2060, 4 in 7 near the end of the century. Fuuuun tiiiiimes
21:56 He stepped over the line there!!!!
I don't believe in god, neither do I believe all the bull shit he claims I do.
What's worse, People who believe in god go down the same path of lust for riches.
Take God out of the picture and we need to take responsibility for our own actions. We go by the laws of nature instead of the laws of some self proclaimed "mouth piece of God"!
Buh bye
Let me sum up this video for you... WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so depressed.
Dear Luke Gromen, I don't think that you understand Arab culture. In 5 years that contract with Qatar may not be honored. And how are you going to make them honor it? How will you make Qatar deliver the gas or oil to your ship? If the international price increases a lot over your contract price Qatar can sell it to someone else for a lot more.
Misery loves miserable company
Nate can't be trusted because he shaves more than I.
Hate and all hail Moncton!
Don't be stupid, people.
Nonsense=the perfect truth.
