Being a human in the 21st century often feels frustrating. We are clearly at the high point of our species, while at the same time life is incredibly hard! We are divided, unable to solve our problems while creating new ones, destroying our world in the process. In many ways the vibe is that we live in dark times. But as Terry Pratchett said, we are the storytelling ape, we think in narratives and live in a network of stories that make up our world. So without minimizing the darkness, we want to add a story that we find helpful for dealing with the world.

ai god will save us.
10/10
It's all over in 3797.
6:10 the solution is psychedelic medicine, when will you understand you fools !!!
A beautiful window into what could be ❤❤❤
that game save analogy was brilliant
ah yes my favorite billionaire propaganda
I don't think the problem is "Humans" or the average joe.
The issue is the elitist scum that have been in control for generations and have become detached monsters.
Humanity is doomed unless it starts fighting the evil right now.
The new evil axis is forming and now it's armed with nuclear weapons and tools of mass oppression (like the social credit system) and tools of global mind-influence (like RT) and tools of mass "boom" delivery (like the Shaheds).
This axis is already actively fighting on all the fronts (military, media, cyberspace and so on) to destroy the western civilization while, the western civilization is actively ignoring this war like it will fade away all by itself. It won't, unless everyone takes this seriously right now.
Now is the moment that will determine the course of human history. The future can turn out to be very grim sooner than you think and it'll stay this way forever. On all continents, with no way out. Global North Korea, forever 1984, forever Gilead.
Wake up people!
Uh no 😮
And then you look at people like Trump and it's back to existential crisis mode.
I love optimistic science!! Thank you 🤍
Trek or mad Maxx? It's the choice of the young. Vote.
I like this kind of approach that represents both philosophical and scientific ideas, hope you find peace in this world too guys⚛️❤️
It is the worst time. Why? Because we are top at skill of destroying ourselves while we COULD choose to stop it. We are failing our test
works for me, best video ive yet seen on UT
Gracias, @kurzgesagt, un trabajo sin duda impresionante, que refleja nuestra historia y probablemente nuestro futuro…
Excellent video, as always!
I legit let a tear roll, there is a beautiful message in this video. Thank you.
Thank you for your video, it's feeling great to remember where we are coming from, to project hope into the future. You are amazing guys!
This boosted my moral 🤗
Are you guys microdosing? This video was trippy and beautiful
Yes
Smokers and Europeans turn this world into a hellhole.
Yes. Hope this helps 🥲
Big fan of y’alls videos 🎉🎉🎉 thank you for all the effort y’all put on em!
I was thinking y’all should make a video of how do simple utilities work thing we take for granted that make our life a little bit more easier for “example how does clean water get to our homes or how does electricity work in our homes, how do we keep our self’s warm on cold winters and comfortable on hot summer. How does our justice system work
Idk Just ideas 😊
Even though today is flawed, it's better than yesterday. Even though tomorrow will be flawed, it will be better than today.
Has partly the vibes of "The Goddess of Everything else"
Ape gang!
George Carlin once made the point…why are there over a billion Chinese? Coz they were here first!
Humanity did not spread from East Africa. That's a lie. Why do Europeans speak Indo-European languages? The languages started off near India and went west…not up from Africa.
Great video, rare optimistic outlook on indeed a dark world, it may be the best time to be alive so far, but we all know we could and should be doing so much more !!
Our brains are too much to handle
Living in Pakistan, it often feels like we're in a constant state of struggle. But when you look at the history, even the so-called poor countries have made considerable progress due to techno.
Thank you
Yeah tell that to the Jews who are killing people and kicking them out of their homes because " Our God Promised Us This Land, And Our Ancestors Lived Here 3,000 Years Ago". Tell that to the top 300 richest families in the world who own all the central banks and want every single human on earth to live in debt to them. Tell that to the Western countries who to this day colonize other countries and take all their natural resources and prevent them from developing themselves and want them to be a consumer country only. Tell that to the intelligence agencies who create extremist groups by the name of other religions like al-Qaeda and isis and many others, and make a distorted image of religions which resulted in worldwide hate. Tell that to power-hungry people who are making plans for the entire planet and now want people to die and want only 1-2 billion people to live on Earth. Tell that pharmaceutical companies. Tell that to weapons of mass destruction factories. Tell that to history re-writers and fabricators, which resulted in extreme hate and ultimately false revenge and killing between people. And the list goes on.
This rose-shaded hopeium is absolutely nauseating. The is a zero chance that we'll 'fix the climate'. We're doomed.. and idiotic optimism won't change that.
