that's the scary part - Thanos is correct, the less beings consuming a limited supply of resources the better the average life will be. Although I don't understand how stupid you'd have to be to not realize that the population would just grow again, or that attempting such a massive intentional purge would have such profound side effects that it woud completely destroy the whole society and negate any benefits for those left It's weird that Endgame assumes that society would just go on after the snap - such a large purge of people in positions of power everywhere would throw the whole world into a "what if every country had a civil war at the same time" scenario.

I don't really see internet porn being that big of a deal. Drawings of erotic nature go way back, they existed because people (mostly men) didn't have a person around to do things with. If you take pinup art for example, that existed for men during war when they were estranged from them their spouses for years.

The first thought that I had after clicking on this video was that no way we would have a war after so much technological advancement. But now when I think about it, it has been like this ever since. Even in the 20th century the advancement was so great that nobody would had imagined it in the last decade but the 2 world wars still happened. The simple answer is, war will happen when we all get desperate.
@buddermonger2000
@buddermonger2000 2 года назад
Most people think innovation and trade will stop wars but it never has and even during the great war of the 1920s Germany and Britain were trading essentials basically making that whole hypothesis right into the dumpster. The only weapons which made war unviable were nukes as they had no winners. But if you have much smaller wars of swear off the nukes they'll still happen and internal conflicts always have a chance at happening.

I am geniunly conserned abouth if my words would couse me trouble for the rest of my academic life since i want to eighter study science or engineering and political stuff blocking them wouldn't be cool. I have consumed a lot of stuff and this chanel seems the most raw data giving of all saving me from searching all of the events by myself and also making comparisons that i wouldn't be able to because of my lack of knowlage in some topics that span centuries or even millenias. Ok i just needes to write what i think to not go crazy, thanks for the comfortable feeling you gave to be with your comment that express genuin opinions and feelings. You need not to reply but it would be cool if you do and last question (and also the first i guess) what was your field in college

I remember I helped my neighbor plant flowers in his front yard for 15 bucks/ hour a few months ago when I was 17. But I agree with you it's become a crazy legal process to do anything one would consider normal. Our laws are super strict nowadays. In the 80s you can ask a restaurant for a job and start working in the next minute but now we have a huge form to fill out, having to put all our legal info and wait a few days for them to approve it. Also, anyone below 16 will struggle to find a decent job and has limited hours on how long they can work. It would be nice if you didn't have all these rules preventing you from earning money. I remember being extremely frustrated at this when I got my first job when I was 16 and struggling to find jobs at 14. Most employers aren't abusing their younger workers and most younger workers are willing to put in hard work. We don't live in the 1800s where morality is at an all-time low anymore.

​@@PhillyRacer121 I think you maybe you misread my point - I agree with you, that is, if I'm understanding you correctly! What surprised me here is the idea that "women don't know how they want to relate to the workforce", when I thought we were moving into a different cultural place, where both parents are considered responsible for the raising of the children. In that sense, I think of it as not a "women's issue" but a parenting issue. My point about my money is simply: in the baby boomers' day, one income would support a family - that meant there was no choice between the woman working and never seeing their child or staying home and facing economic fragility. In today's economy, our dollar does so little and wage growth has been so slow over the last half century, that one income often will not realistically support a family. So growing income inequity and wage stagnation has created a parenting issue. My take on it anyways!

@lukestrawwalker
@lukestrawwalker 3 года назад
This is a false statement... how can the world have the "same degree of productivity" and half the population?? Even if you take out "nonproductive" people like the homeless or wipe out the population of countries in proportion to their level of productivity, it's still not a 'zero sum' game... cut population in half, productivity WILL fall by a huge amount. Plus, most production wouldn't be necessary and wouldn't exist without the market for it to make it profitable to produce in the first place... without consumers (population) to buy what is produced, and holding the same level of production, the price of what is produced would collapse, therefore making it unprofitable to produce. For instance, fracking for oil and gas is a technology that was developed way back in the 1940's, but it was never economically viable (profitable) to do when there were easier and cheaper oil and gas formations to produce at the time, and with the cheap prices of oil and natural gas in those markets at that point in time. It was only the run-up in gas and oil prices in relatively recent times, and reduced supply as older oil and gas fields have been depleted and no longer producing, that have made fracking "tight formations" of trapped oil and gas profitable enough to cover the added expenses of doing it to produce that oil and gas... and without PROFIT *nothing* get done! We've been able to produce more than enough food to feed every human on Earth for many decades now-- there is NO food shortage-- the problem is, there's NO PROFIT in producing food for people who have NO MONEY TO BUY IT, or who cannot afford it at the price of production and transport, plus a suitable profit to motivate and sustain the production risks... THAT is the issue that 99.6% of people simply cannot understand... OL J R :)

@@lukestrawwalkerthe reason the world could hypothetically be just as productive with less people is technological innovation. We produce more food now than ever before, amd we use less farmland than we did in the not too distant past.

Politicians have refused to tackle profit made with wars. * Lack of understanding of the bubble crisis in the last 400 years. Politicians have failed to regulate rigged bubbles. * Lack of understanding of monetary policy. The dollar hyperinflation you see today is in the stock prices and cryptos.

1 year since this video came out. I agree with so much of this. However, one thing that seems wrong is the idea that the EU will collapse by the end of the 21st century. The outbreak of the Russo-Ukraine War in 2022 has started this wave of 'Common European Identity' across the EU, and the idea of a United Europe is beginning to be taken seriously by some groups. It is possible that the EU could unite and become a third global superpower to rival China and the US, or internal divisions may return after the Ukraine War and Europe could return to a "Concert" of Proxy Wars just as it was in the 19th Century.
