The Most IMPORTANT Video You'll Ever See Part 7 of 8

[jialini]

Stop creating babies is a form helping

Anyway it's expensive to up keep pets

Lol

[jialini]

No one can be blame for survival

May be the so call " creator "

Suppose to solve it

[Shadowcat1954]

And their is actually a bill afoot to forbid you from being able to grow your own food...,

[FreedomAtRisk]

he could help the problem by offing himself first

[FeelOfFriction]

You're all living in a fantasy. Do you really believe we'll last out the century?

[usernamelando]

5000 views? if you happen to be the next viewer of this important material please know one thing: your own personal ability to grow food from seeds is the only skill you will ever need come the end of oil. i wonder how many of the 5000 have actually grown their own food. Sucks to be an american in a major city...

[cutthroatgentlemen]

@usernamelando I've come across some brilliant material on permaculture. I may transfer to study that instead of music next year.

[SumoAnnoy]

@usernamelando

Think we'll just give up, or heaven forbid collectively learn our lesson and act accordingly? No, we're going to shove everyone else down the shit hole first and take what we can while we can. America uses half of the total military funding of the entire world for a reason, and it isn't because we care about the well being of others.

This guy is completely wrong, fortunately. The Solar System has 100,000 billion times more energy than we currently need. The asteroid belt can hold a population of several billion people living in extreme wealth.

[AltoidAddict23]

There's 2 problems with that. First, we have to get there. If we manage to switch from oil to alternative energy in the next decade, I'd say we probably will make it to space. The toughest part of that will be growing food without oil. The second problem has to do with the exponential function. Regardless of the amount of resources in the asteroid belt or solar system, we will use up those resources. Assuming we survive long enough to get to them. I'm talking too much for one comment I guess.

[AltoidAddict23]

So if we do have a stable society that survives by mining the asteroids, we'll still have a population that doubles every x years. If we assume that a billion people make it to the asteroids, and assume a modest 3% population growth rate, the population will double every 23 years, by the formula he gave in a previous video. So after 100 years you've got 16 billion people (1b*2^4). After 200 years, 256 billion (1b*2^8). Better hope we can get to Alpha Centauri well before 200 years are up.

[linghun]

Its perfectly feasible to reach other Systems once we harness our local System's power. Beside, 3% is not a modest rate, humanity is growing at 1,18% a year today and that is declining. Population control is already successful, and the Solar System alone can easily support a pop of 1 trillion people with upper class Los Angeles lifestyles. Being excessively Malthusian right now can be destructive.

[linghun]

Yes we will use up those resources. If each human being starts using 100,000 times more energy than used today, the Solar System can only provide us with some 25 million years of energy. And we have already made it to space, only it seems expensive precisely because we dont do it for an economic return.

[AltoidAddict23]

So you're assuming a constant population? Interesting.

[linghun]

No, just speculating. You could revert my assumption by saying human population will grow 100,000 times but energy consumption will stagnate, or a mixture of both (more realistic).

[mariusinlight]

asteroid belt sounds good :)

[sniped101]

wow, this stuff is VERY important! hell. i think this is the part of the video is the most important.

[joepod]

I notice the first video in this series has about 65,000 views, but the ones at the end have less than 5% of that. People are tuning out. I guess the consensus is "let nature take care of it". And nature will.

[sniped101]

yep, people are dumb... we all know this... its kind of sad but its true all day. we will turn into barbarians...

[randomplace]

SOMETIMES WE MUST DO WHAT IS REQUIRED.

this is more of a mindfuck than anything else i have really ever learned.

goddamit why is life so hard.

[khattamshud]

[result321]

"Growth" is ONLY induced because of INTEREST.

Think about that word carefully :-))

Think about WHO profits from huge state deficits generated by means of WARS as the PRIVATE OWNERS of the so called "Federal Reserve".

Think WHO adressed the FED matter in the 2008 presidential show? Dr. Who?

Think about WHO of US-Presidents got killed because of the FED?

PEOPLE WAKE UP!

NOW!

Any human GROWTH beyond 2,50 metrs?

Any tree GROWTH beyond 80 metrs?

Any FAT TUMMY continuing to GROW gets sick !

[bewambay]

i like the part at 7:09 or so. Think of it this way: as the number of humans goes up, their value diminishes. The supply of a good goes up, its value decreases, unless there are huge demands on the good. Is there a demand for more people? Are we goods?
