We Ignored the Warnings. Now YOU Pay the Price
"The Man Who Wants Us Dead," by Vsauce2: czcams.com/video/srJBLo8GR5g/video.html
The best science fiction manages to predict the future accurately decades or even centuries in advance, which is why you’ve got a HAL-9000 in your pocket right now. It tends to happen naturally, but in the case of Soylent Green, a worldwide cohort of intelligentsia, business leaders, and politicians are working hard to force science fiction to become reality.
The debate over global population growth and the threats it may pose to the sustainability of the planet and the human race overwhelmingly skews to one side: more people, more problems. And that seems to be the case in Soylent Green, based on Harry Harrison’s excellent novel “Make Room! Make Room!” -- the horrible consequences of population growth are unavoidable. Dennis Meadows, The Club of Rome, Paul Ehrlich, Greta Thunberg, and even commentators like Bill Maher are convinced that a drastic reduction in population… and some are comfortable with mandating that grim future at all human costs.
Buried deep in Soylent Green -- in both its story and the life of one of its actors -- is a message of hope and belief in our capacity to solve the problems that we ourselves might create to improve the human condition.
The simple truth that the population control elites refuse to accept -- the truth that threatens their worldview and turns you into an enemy -- is that you aren’t the problem. You’re the solution.

    This is without a doubt my favourite video on CZcams, I've rewatch it probably a 100 times over the years, especially when I'm down. it helps remind me to be the best version of myself, iron giant has been my favourite film since a boy. This video I've shown to friends, family and my now wife as it captures why I love iron giant so well. Thank you, very grateful for this content

    Why people do BAD things like rubbing? Do you ever ask this question to yourself? Did they love this? No because they desperate. I know a mother committed suicide because she and her kids where hungry and she wanted her kids accepted by child support. I know a father stole milk powder for his newborn kid, then arrested and punished for mouths in jail. Did they were BAD PERSONS????????? What they show in the movie is not even 1% of reality. Maybe you should watch super hero movies cuz they are all good people in a fake unreal world.

    It's all just empty talk. The US only knows how to talk big, and at most, they're just cheating a group of overseas Tibetan fools. They're also using this to negotiate with the Chinese government and gain benefits. If the US recognizes the Dalai Lama's exile government as a legitimate government, why don't they directly establish diplomatic relations with it? They can simply upgrade the Dalai Lama's office in Arizona to an embassy and give a piece of land to the Dalai Lama and his people to establish a new Tibetan kingdom. Is it really that difficult? In reality, the Dalai Lama's exile government has already lost its influence over Tibetans. More than 10 years ago, over 100 Chinese Tibetans would flee to Dharamsala every year. The real reason is that these people are mostly from powerful families in Tibet, or children of local government officials. They're a group of people who have gained benefits and are driven by self-interest. They sent their children to Dharamsala not because of their religious or cultural beliefs, but because they thought the Dalai Lama would return to power and they would benefit from it. I have traveled extensively in Tibet and know that this is the real thinking of many Tibetan officials. In their hearts, they have no faith, only self-interest. The most pitiful ones are the poor Tibetans at the bottom of the social ladder. They don't even have enough money to send their kids to school, and can't afford to cook a meal at home. Yet, as soon as they earn a meager income from working away from home, they would immediately send it to the monks in the temple, willing to starve themselves. In recent years, life in Tibet has improved significantly, and most Tibetan officials believe that the Dalai Lama will not be able to return to power. Based on this, they have basically stopped sending their kids to India. So, it's a fact that the overseas Tibetan independence movement has already declined. It can be predicted that after the Dalai Lama's passing, the influence of the overseas Tibetan independence movement will basically disappear. The US will also stop spending money and effort to support this useless exile force. Of course, there will still be overseas Tibetan independence supporters who will continue to recognize the next Dalai Lama without the approval of the Chinese Central Government. However, for the US, it will no longer be of much value, just like the current King of Sikkim, who can only survive on his own overseas. The communists will naturally not bother to deal with him, because they will definitely find a legally recognized, patriotic, and loyal Dalai Lama in China. In my opinion, Tibetan Buddhism is already on the path of decline. The future of Tibet should be a civilized society where religion gradually disappears. After all, Tibetan Buddhism has done too much evil since its inception, and its teachings are too cruel. It was originally an evil cult

    Ok 28 sec in the video and i'm already know it's BS. Showing Joffrey and Whalter White on top of "bad characters suppose to be a role model now" is a lie. Anyone who watched Game of Thrones knows - Joffrey is a straight up villain, without any redeeming qualities. Character of Whalter White is much more complex, but IN HIS OWN WORDS he is not a role model - he did it for himself, not for his family. This addmition completes his arc in a show. And of course the fact channel called "Foundation for Economic Education" telling us anything about morals in authritative way, pretending to be competent in any type of philosophical exploration is just hillarious.

    We all want to preserve the earth but realistically at this moment technology has not reached the point where the supposed solutions outreach the problem and the point of no return prediction has elapses 5 times (including but not limited to Al gores own 12 years prediction). For example veganism kills just as many animals via pesticides and releases just as much CO2 through its longer supply lines and required processing than normal agriculture. Electric cars, the mining and smelting of lithium and cobalt aside from most sources being from mines where slavery is still practiced; produces just as much pollution, in addition you need to charge your car everyday and green methods of power generation are wholly inefficient and not powerful enough when compared with fossil fuels. If we all switched to electric vehicles the strain this would place on an already threatened electricity infastructure would be disastrous causing rolling blackouts as california has to deal with from time to time, the state with the highest population of electric drivers. In addition most electric cars need to reach 100,000 miles before you even begin to offset the pollution it had created indirectly up to this point. As i said we all want to save the planet but just lack the technology to have any suitable effect without destroying society or causing famine at this point. Any radical climate saviors are simply stupid or virtue signallers, video also says that the eratic behaviors of climate protestors is to satisy their ego not to solve the actual problem. Case and point the countries which by far use the most fossil fuels right now and are still increasing are china and india while all western countries are reducing. Why not protest in china? Because they know what would happen, so their protest isnt about making a difference, it is about virtue signal. I think the first meaningful technology we will need before we can really begin to make a difference is safe nuclear fusion. This would cause the amount if fossil fuels needed to be instantly put as a fraction of what it is now.

    I think the reason views are especially censored on campuses comes from the professors as well as how malleable the students still are. It is much easier to continue indoctrinating students if they dont hear points from the opposing side. Especially if to pass your class they HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU. During college i took part in my first student protest, i cant remember what it was about (something stupid) but what i do remember was thinking a LOT about it that night until i forced myself to question if i was rifht, i questioned where my views came from and i realized, one of my professors. I began to read a d listen to the other side in my spare time and after a while realized all of the views that were pushed upon me were disprovable by statistics. So i changed my views and would listen to that professor more closely. Most of his classes were just his views. Biggest difference between the modern left and right (right wing radicals excluded) is that the light right will wonder if they are indeed correct about their views, the left are drones which will never admit to being wrong and will yell you into submission.

    Just save the disingenuine attempt to empathize with the student. Hear me out: if the gov deregulated hiking interest rates, provided loans to people they knew wouldnt pay it back, and increased the price of education in doing so; the gov also has a responsibility to forgive loans. If at this point you want to sub the gov for "the people" like this video does, then do the same when this credit scheme was created.

    I think, and if I’m not considering something here, please let me know, that there’s a point being missed here. There’s something about vibranium that makes it such a valuable resource, and how in contributes so much to Wakanda’s wealth. I think it’s its versatility. There is not one real life material on earth that comes close to being quite as versatile as vibranium. If you could harness a resource that literally improves and even bolsters the quality of water, plant life, and medicine, I’m not entirely sure you would still need trade….I’m not saying that everything about Wakandan infrastructure makes sense, but I’m saying that…if a resource like vibranium existed, and a society like Wakanda could harness it…maybe they wouldn’t need trade. Vibranium literally has the power to repair and revitalize damaged tissue, not to mention it can be used to fuse and generate new tissues together as seen with Visions’s body. On top of that, Vibranium literally improves the water, soil, and agricultural properties of Wakanda…so I guess, yes, if it were any other resource that had the potential to depreciate in value, or be used up quite the same way…I’d agree, but…like this metal is an unobtainium type thing, it’s so perfect that it makes no sense.

    I remember well "Hogan's Heroes" a 1960's comedy about POW's in a German prison camp. The Nazis looked extremely stupid, and Hogan and the others easily outsmarted them all the time. It was one of the funniest shows on TV, and was only 20 years after the war. I'm sure a lot of people who'd actually seen the war/ been there, probably watched it. I was just a kid then, a lot of it was lost on me, but today I can look back and see how effective the satire was. Just like JoJo Rabbit.
