He is learning. But he is still many steps away from understanding the core problem. Which is why he does not understand or realize what is the solution.

I probably watch two or three minutes of podcasts every week or two.

Inevitably, I have a better understanding of every topic they discuss than they do.

The guy in the video above had to travel to space to gain a perspective that I have had since I was a teenager. But while he gained perspective of the Earth and of humanity's relationship with it, he still fails to understand humans.

The fact is that I am wasting my time typing to low IQ people like @Lily and @Admin.

They do not even understand that they do not understand. People like them will never be an integral part of the solution.

Uh, I think he doesn't have more than 500 words in his personal vocabulary. You might want to rethink your proposal. Maybe give him the option to illustrate with crayons. Just saying.

I think what he means is, that magnetic core...the way it keeps flipping around.
. No stability. How are we to have peace if that damn thing won't stay still?
Reminds me of this guy I worked with, he always ate the apple core when eating an apple no biggy some people do, but he seemed to go out of his way to get people to notice him eating the apple core, we assumed it was for the shock effect....we all thought he was just sad and lonely.

...better then I should not mention that I too eat the core for the pits. Sometimes I just get the pits and eat them. Pits of some fruits, like the apricot are known to have anti tumor constituents. It is said that an apple a day keeps the doctor away....but only if you eat the pits (some say pips).
....but never mind all that.

He's just so shallow.
Interesting video @Lily
The astronaut is extremely optimistic
But he is also unrealistic
Humans are greedy & have been since our ancestors walked the planet
eg - Why do you think there are no more woolly mammoths?
The archaeologists say the cavemen killed them to extinction by driving them off cliffs and into pits. And if they weren't busy killing off much of the wildlife, they killed and even ate each other
so this has been going on since the beginning of time.
And today we still have our greedy dictators & billionaires who live like kings while their own citizens starve.

Unlike many species, people often don't share
They aren't content with equality
They want to feel superior to others
They need to have more than the person below them
This contrasts with other species where the lead or strongest member of the troupe kills another animal but shares it with the other members
ie -wolves or lions

But people almost always want more than the other human being
and they weaponize their wealth to suppress or destroy others.
and they cheat and lie to do it.
Unfortunately, you have to live in the cave much of the time just to survive in this bloody world.

Maybe that's why so many people don't come out of the cave, because they think they'll be next...to be annihilated

The astronaut's plan would work, if it wasn't for the Human species

. Sounds to me like he was saying that humans haven't gotten there yet - where they see themselves as a larger community rather than a set of antagonistic tribes. The next 100K years of human evolution as conservatism is slowly rooted out will change that.
.You'll see. You can book it.

100K?

Good luck on that.

Gotta make it to 2100 first.

2050? er not even sure about that one.

LoLz - Joe, let's just say that things don't work the way Dawin thought.
. Human populations have dwindled through natural calamity to mere thousands on Earth, but
here is not the only place where evolution happens. I'll leave it at that and lay 2:1 the next 100K years proves I'm right on the money.

People frequently confuse Darwins use of of the term Fittest, while strength and aggression are important factors for some creatures survival, for most it is not. Darwin was talking about how animals adapt to their environment, and in turn how the environment influences their evolution. It's not always how well they'd do in the Octagon.

"Darwin's theory contains two quite different and major hypotheses: (1) All species, living and extinct, descend from a common ancestor; (2) natural selection is the primary driver of adaptive evolution by promoting differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to their inherited characteristics."

Well @The New Holliday at least our current human civilization as we know it will likely be the tail end of the good times commonly known as 'The American Century'.

The current state of our World & the sputtering of last century's economic miracle Reminds me of that Diane Warwick song....

So I keep on Holding on

See, that was his problem - he was a pure materialism so he never understood the true nature of human evolution.
Today what was held in secret, in the Mystery Schools of Egypt, Greece and among the Christians before Nicea (not to be mistaken for what people call by that name today), and certainly in The Indian schools is largely available to the public and no longer in the strictest sense "occult", but as a person I admire greatly put it,
...these things are only occult because people don't want to know them, not because they are "hidden".
Darwin had only the tiniest sliver of the thing.

One of my oft utilized and demonstrably factual poasts is that the Ancient Greeks thought the earth was close to the tipping point of people able to sustain humanity. ie they thought we were overpopulated several thousand years ago.

The planet currently IS overpopulated.

You can't just measure population density by the number of humans or the living spaces we have left to accommodate us.

It's also the resources left and the resources we use/consume.

ie - how much fresh water is left to feed the planet?
How much gas? How many minerals, etc. How much grain can the planet's farmers grow?

It's the planet's ability to sustain such a large population with current levels of utilization

Has their been vast improvements in technology and energy utilisation over just the last 2-300 years? I mean look at Henry Ford's assembly line for example?

But we're using up the planet's remaining resources much too fast

And that isn't sustainable

Since there haven't been any mass starvations/famines the population has grown exponentially and this can't go on forever.

Doubling the population in 50 years? wtf?

So we've added more people as net gain in 50 years than ever existed on the planet in all the previous centuries combined

Old resources, we are also greatly expanding development in new alternative energies. Advances in energy utilization has driven socio-economic advances forever.

What you've referred to is technological advances

But even the most advanced technologies require natural resources.

and if those get depleted, there can be no more advancment,

At least not the leaps and bounds kind we had over the past century.

There's a limit and we're gonna peak soon.
