  • More people trying to fix things without God.

  • @holynephilem1 Human history has been all about developing technologies and principles that make our lives better, no intervention from God required. God wants us to solve our own problems. If God wanted to fix our problems 1/6 of the planet wouldn't be starving to death.

  • No Republicans...*snerks*. Too right, that... :)

  • OK, there are some good ideas here but what's wrong with keeping it simple and going back to nature and not raping the earth all over again! It is actually possible to live very comfortably and in relative "luxury" sustainably, using virtually no resources.

  • @kryssordyl I understand your sentiment but with a reported 7 Billion people on the planet there is no way to ensure everyone gets to live comfortably and in relative luxury without technology. For example the land mass it would take to feed 7 billion with traditional farming methods would be massive compare to a small footprint of an automated hydroponic vertical farm. (Vertical Farming example youtube URL v=EURY89IHOoY )

  • @PedrocasMS We can't collectively decide on what is "wise". If we could there would be no such thing as politics. Why would that be different? There are strong differences of opinions, even on things that are considered science.

    Can you elaborate on "everyone does, through reason"? It seems like the vast majority of the population does not make rational arguments. It's more about what they subjectively want not matter the cost to others.

  • Interesting idea but I see some potential problems. What do you do when there simply aren't enough resources to go around? If human life is optimized so everyone can live abundantly won't they reproduce and eventually overwhelm the available resources? Also who gets to decide what gets programmed into the central computer? Aren't values subjective for each individual?

  • @bstills32

    Then human spawn rate would need (and it needs) to be racionalized, in order to keep the human population numbers in way that it is sustainable to maintain.

    No "one" gets to decide what gets programmed into the central computer. Everyone does, through reason.

    There's needs that are "really needed" (to survive, etc etc.) and there are those needs that are cool but don't really needed. And those need to be reasoned in a way that is wise, considering the planet we live on.

  • Great Video, Keep up the good creative work.

  • Ha thanks, I was looking for that :)

  • I love the concepts & I understand it very much.

    But the true brickwall we have is that we can't  ever create or find a blank canvass.

    That is unless science breaks through space travel to a very dramatised scale. (Which by then I guess our own Earth will be in ruins)

    Either way, It's all about changing this Earth from what it is now to an RBE. And I have many doubts it will happen. Great video though, but nothing new :/

  • @HardstyleMatt : Nothing new to you maybe, but an entirely new concept to many. That is the purpose of this video - spreading information.
