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 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.
The more advanced, the more different the resources and the less "extractive" meaning less relying on stuff on digging and drilling on the finite resources that as you pointed out are not unlimited. In a very real sense it is humans slowly but surely moving toward what "Major Tom" the astronaut is advocating in his video, living within our means. Not borrowing next years assets for today.

This contrasts with other species where the lead or strongest member of the troupe kills another animal but shares it with the other members

The strongest member(s) eat first.

They get their pick of the more desirable food.

Followers like you get the scraps.

You do not need to complicate the issue, Senile @Joe, by comparing humans favourably, or infavourably, with other species.

Just talk about the behaviour of humans.


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

He does not have a plan.

What is my IQ Captain Selfpwn?

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

People have evolved, we still have horribly backwards people of course. However, we are less horrible than in the past.

Human populations are declining. The projections are that this will continue. We are becoming more technologically advanced.

I'm not saying easy days are ahead, most certainly not. But as time passes, humans will continue to move forward; slowly but surely.

You tell them, Senile @Joe.

It is like they watched the video in the OP, and said "Wow, that makes sense."

And now they have completely forgotten.

Advances in energy utilization has driven socio-economic advances forever.
Human populations are declining. The projections are that this will continue. We are becoming more technologically advanced.

They think it will be all fine. The government will look after them.

The government wants everyone to do well. Be happy. Live a long, satisfying life.


They are in for a rude awakening.

Sorry I saw my typo.

I meant to say " if we deplete our resources there can be NO more advancement"

I think you tend to like old things and not new things because in the old days you had hope that you would not turn out to be a loser and now....well, things did not turn out as you had hoped.

LoLz - or it could be that I just understand the dif between quality goods and trash.
. Say, btw, did you get those gooordeous kitchen cabinets at a WalTard clearance sale?
That's what they look like.
The (what you imagine as fancy) living room, looked like cheap modern crap also.
Dude, have you no sense of style, no aesthetic at all?

Try to keep your little melties in the correct thread, you dumb ass.

BTW, solid ash, oak, and maple furniture is not something most people look down on. Some of the furniture in my house is over 100 years old...including the table to can see in my dining room.

You loser.

Hahaha!!!
