The future of the human race - part 1

[NDK225]

this guy is full of it, sounds like a fantasy, he doesn't factor in the biological limits that we are quickly reaching in many respects such as fossil fuel, water supply issues, and the like.

[spartonne]

Its to late to live in harmony with nature in some sort of hunter gather society. Wont happen. Humans are way too curious and ambitious to live like that for long. Eventually we always push the boundary,change the status quo, and I know which world I'd rather live in. The one where we have somthing to explore, and are learning more and more!

[cam9408]

we cant keep going the way we are today! i can tell you that! we use that much resources and depend so much on food. we cant really deal with any bigger population!

[l00072878]

your my hero sir

[Gsri92]

we died a long time ago, we have not evolved fast enough to realize that our race survival is far more important than our stupid wants and desires, just enjoy our time we have left....may god save us!

[Molhedim]

@Gsri92 you're a retard....i'm so pissed that there are so many retards , i cant belive it .... damn it .

"99 % of the human race is retarded" - my dad

[rosiethebear300]

@Gsri92 yes, I agree and the way we keep picking at each other and let the powers that be instills fear and rascism - the old divide and conquer - works every time if you look through history.

[sourmanofcoal]

yeh the artificial thing is true, we're using tools to help us life better, first it was a walking stick, than it was a shoe, than it was glassess, than it was dental fillings, than it was contact lenses, hearing devices, pace maker, hip replacement, slowly we're merging closer and closer with the machine

[thales1davinci]

I don't understand why we cannot have cool technology and live in balance with the earth. We just need to make our technology more life-like so it is more sustainable.

[deadcauz]

there is little things that make people happy and wen we have them we never appreciate them and it is only wen we lose them that we immediately now that something

is missing

[shaarandia]

the crude reality .. is that we are a buch of hypocrite people ..

we say we love nature and stuff like this.. maybe very often or not. But even with those thoughts we accept the "contract" with society in wich we accept the conditions they give us. The world, won´t change, or maybe it will in still i think millions of years,just because of the simple fact that each human being is egocentric willing to be or not.

[sourmanofcoal]

@shaarandia hypocrites live longer

[AppleSouffle]

Canadianshit212, if that happens, there's a 90% chance you will die along with them.

That works for me.

[pured0g]

@canadianshit212 yeah and that 90% include you and ur family biach

[AppleSouffle]

@pured0g

[brokeshane14]

As a question that I want insight on, is does anthropology trump "historical documents"? (written documents that lead to historical conclusions) If so how...if not how not??

[Shift4chizzle]

we, the general public, who have normal lives, do not know the capabilities of the human race.

[jjallen1976]

its important that i tell you the human thought process is being reprogrammed through mental telepathy. a substance was used over a period of time that expanded the mental capacity. this opened up the "3rd eye" and now through thought and meditation the old ways of thinking are literally being erased.

[tubcaster]

its self evident already that artificial intelligence will replace homo sapiens in the next step on the evolotionay scale

[bavwill]

I'm sorry but did he say a snowflake could destroy a whole mountain.

[tubcaster]

@bavwill figure of speech

[nameandshameless]

Who is supposed tp push technology and science forward when birth rates in the west are in decline? Illiterate young people which are being born into poverty in countries like England or Germany who know nothing but the dole...? The human race will have reached it's technological peak at 2050. A cut in half VW Golf pulled by a donkey will gradually replace 500bhp family cars. Like in Africa or muslim countries.

[yahshuah29]

Selective breeding? We know what you mean wink wink Hitlers eugenic program on steroids! I look forward to the day man is able to over come death and sickness but we live in a far to racist and elitist society at the moment and certain people will be tempted to make the world look more like them the problem is more than a ethical one however species with little or no diversity go extinct!

[blackknight509]

@yahshuah29 Exactly. We are afraid of integration...of our own SPECIES.

1. Religious issues

2. Social issues (racism, orientation, etc.)

3. Political issues

^^Those are our problems hindering us as a species, from being far more advanced as we should be. I don't have too much faith in our future.

[tubcaster]

@yahshuah29 hopefully greed-free AI will take over in the next step of universal evolution

[clovernoris]

@nazi30215 I do love youtube trolls

[unifiedreality]

Imagine a beam of light shooting from the top of the mountain, and you've completed his snowflake analogy.

[trakkaton]

What will end the further developement of mankind: War/ Military/ Weapons, GNR/ risk technologies/ Grey Jam, Peak Oil/ Peak Everything, Police State/ NWO/ Surveillance/ power concentration. No transhumanism. Especially not for YOU.

[mujahedeen1987]

@trakkaton new world order is good it is freedom

[trakkaton]

@mujahedeen1987

Freedom from what, fakemujahedeen1984?

[flashvideofan]

A very interesting video.

Humans have known about the potential of selective breeding to direct the evolution of our race for over one hundred years. There was a brief period when Europe and America adopted eugenic policies but this has been abandoned.

We now have technologies such as germ line gene therapy beginning to become available although these are still in the infancy.

But will humans make use of these new technologies or discard them as they have done with selective breeding?

[RealinAmerica]

why is there a thing that said invalid arguements? fuck youtube!

[robuzy]

umm no.

[lacoste899]

your insignificant fagget

[Interleap]

@lacoste899 did he say we are insignificant?

Just wait till a comet comes and we same every god dam microbe on the planet.

[mrRED0712]

we should kill a billion people maybe that will help

[Embasolkilluminati]

that was very stupid maybe we should start with people who type stupid shit on youtube

[DoctorSess]

DEPOP EUGENICS GO FUCK YOURSELF!

[kingpoe1]

fuck! i gotta hunt me some food now!

[ButherLi55ett]

Sickles never went out of fashion did they. I'm not sure what all this hunter gather bollocks is he's on about, more like wage slaves and the owning classes. He's an odd character anyway, in one of his videos he makes some derogatory remark about communists but now he appears to have signed upto the CPGB (tiny Leninist sect) front organisation Hands off the People of Iran! A very muddled conservative establishment lecturer if ever there was one.

[happymanica]

we are animals and have limited control over our future. people need to want less n value the simple things more n BREED LESS!

[ProtestSpp]

I like the agricultural society where families and communities are tightly knit and people are self-sufficient. I think the economies are going to fail because people are dependent upon a system that is not sustainable. And so it is only a matter of time until we are forced back towards living in harmony with nature.

[ShaolinRambo]

@ProtestSpp I agree with you 100%..we should return to nature because we should realize that the universe already has a natural system. The way we are going is just going to ruin the planet..more population?..more destruction of nature..more houses more buildings more roads. Population doesnt really matter but what matters is how everyone lives. We should return to nature and be in harmony. Thats the best way and the healhiest way. Maybe the only way. Id rather go to nature than artificial.

[MacZambrottVEVO]

@ProtestSpp you are a idiot

[NDK225]

@MacZambrottVEVO AN idiot

[joemoe23]

@ProtestSpp No doubt man no doubt.

[kelviniskelly]

That was deep.

[rawfflecakes]

there is no white light for humans to go to. only certain death. we are doomed. enjoy what we have.

[player1ssg1]

:(  .

[DawnOfTherion]

no white people

[xxxChrist]

All 'future' propositions regarding technology and science are at the mercy of the 'free' market. There is no consideration of spiritual, political, or internal human evolution here. This man is just another BBC-type, peering through rose-tinted spectacles toward some far-off romantic notion of progress. Tomorrow's World? Unless we evolve spiritually away from greed, avarice, and religious stupidity then Tomorrow's World will be much harsher than even George Orwell could imagine.

[ButherLi55ett]

That'll be down to teh false concioushnesh!!

I sort of agree with what you're saying but it depends on who you mean by 'we'? The whole human race? Who are the exploiters in this world?

[FreedomIsAfarce]

I apologize, I meant it has ALOT to do with it, just how you use it.

[AskariWaryaa]

Soon there will be humanoid androids (cylons) that will try to exterminate us.

lol

[daoulas911]

he was talking about an internal machine in your ear like an internal hearing aide that would translate languages for you. you sir are the fucking idiot

[TheFormalizer]

this guy's a moron, You don't understand languages by your ear, it's your brain! What a fucking idiot.

[doctorw2]

the only way we can survive as a species is to change our way of thinking and become a collective consciousness.

[TheMorbidAtheist]

what the fuck does that mean exactly?

collective cosciousness?

what a pretty word

[linket88]

every thought has a energetic frequency that we send out to the universe...our thoughts are only a tiny piece of our conciousness...collective conciousness is when everyone has a similar thought frequency...if this is confusing sorry lol..i can go on if you have any questions...

[TheMorbidAtheist]

every though has an energetic frequency that we send out to the universe?

do you have any proof of that?

our thoughts are just that, our thoughts, nothing magical about that

similar thought frequency? yeah, we do have that. we are all inherently horny and selfish concerned only about our well-being, and maybe the well-being of our close ones, for the most part

this IS confusing, because you are just making this stuff up. I dont have any questions, no thanks

the universe doesnt care about you

[jonathanbain14]

its a Functionalist viewpoint that the human race is like the body. Everyone works in different ways, like organs but all come together for a common goal, whether intended or not.

[Dudekahedron]

it takes tremendous force to change the course of human history, the concept that a new SPECIES would artificially evolve from us, is absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps new "races" of human evolve, sure, but not entirely new species. The human collective is very limited genetically wise due to the toba catastrophe, limiting our genetic diversity even more by splitting apart now would be catastrophic and would push our dependence on medication to the brink.

[MrTalkingSense]

People seem to think humans MUST evolve, and the only way for us to evolve is through the use of technology...that begs the question WHY...why do we have to force technological evolution on to the human race...who will this evolution benefit? Let me tell you, the people who are promoting this, through the media (TV, internet, newspapers etc) are the same people who will benefit...this type of technology is all about TOTAL CONTROL...we are being manipulated to accept this

[silvert122]

i believe the human race will face extinction just like the dinosaurs and other creatures before and after the dinosaurs. Life is a cycle and the human race is destinated to die out one day. Life out in space could be possible if we find the right planet. But still even if we find a suitable planet for life, we humans will mutate to somethingelse to adapt to this new planet. Earth might not be our home if after extinction, a new species emerge from it.

[gagnashdiak]

Yu handle species as static things, though they are completly changing.

And you know what I find a fascinating idea? That there CAN be the possibility to adapt ourselves through technology living in pure space, and occasionally transform back to a planet-living entity.

[TheRedEnchanter]

not sure what your talkin about! but it sounds REALLY cool!

[Hughjass505]

humans will extinct but not people, people will evolve sometime, according to the mayans 2012 will be the date of the beginning of human evolution so when all of that is complete humans won't exist anymore, we will change into something else people are too intelligent to die out

[FreedomIsAfarce]

People are too "intelligent" to die out? Intelligence has nothing to do with it my friend.

[linket88]

i agree.

[Vwassel]

We can't use technology to biologically manipulate our DNA and become better humans instead of just merging with it to become a new species? >.>

[MatuArt]

the culture of men did it, not god, god doesn't even care, it seems, men have too and many don't. Good thing there are good men.

[Pulse1027]

I do slightly dread the possibility that we are going towards an artificial existence. I believe that we may learn to harness our abilities with technology, and perhaps reflect on our mistakes and realize our obvious errors as a result of extremisms and personal ego issues.

This is only hypothetical as far as we can tell now. The future is being determined now, and all we can to do guide it is to enlighten ourselves to the fullest of our potential, based on all that we have learned.

[upgradeyourbody]

This guy is so smart - Evolution is speeding up so much that natural selection will be superseded by technology that can evolve without having to wait for generations of change.

[evilchimp69]

there was adaptation at one point then it bacame evolution.and when everything we created destroys our planet we might go back to adaptation.a cycle that probabily happened various time before.

[MasterSun2200]

He confuses human evolution in real terms with technological development or the evolution of technology?...

[AAAAA010AAAAA]

[somuchtimesoliltodo]

mann this dude jus needa smoke a blunt forrrrrreeeallll blaa blaaa ball time humans suck blaaa ballll duuudeee time dosent exest non dis shit does =D but that the cool part.=)

[themindfuck]

homosexuals too lol!!!

[Snowman374th]

You can all make good points good or bad. But because you don't work together and fight over everything is what ultimately keeps us behind. And that's not talking about racism hatred and wealth. Greed is what holds you back.. Let go of the things you so dear, And maybe we can get past this terrible time. Thousands of years of fighting. It never gets old until your the ones getting massacred. try to find guidness and love through our last creation before going to a new creation of mankind. -|-

[FunNotNuts]

This guy is correct, though tiresome. Perhaps it has something to do with the elevation.

[adman1900]

Stick to your petty intellectual history and leave prophecy for the enlightened ones

[Piscivorus]

LOLZ! Since when is prophecy a product of enlightenment?

[trifelgeputinage]

Love it!

[lordennis01]

They found a hunter!

[vitriolicscott]

Fascinating video.

[ThePatriotofAmerica]

human history is wrong

[Shinasstar]

thats the stupidest thing i have ever heard...if we were to evolve from humans to A.I beings there would be no God...to believe a supernatural being such as God or creator of pure love, unconditional and faithful to all creation God...were to make the human race, future race, into robots on any level is just dumb and crazy..we are love, we are already (the ones that will ascend and evolve) are already carrying the blueprint of life. which means, we are not God and He didn't create robots.we did

[bassvibe89]

God gave us free will, if he exists at all. You can't discount that there is a god just because human beings decide to modify themselves. In fact you if you put it into that perspective, you can already say that there is no god because humans have successfully cloned animals and possibly and most likely other humans.

[shadowbender]

the only reason we can clone things is because we are working with tangible materials. when the universe was created, according to atheists, there was nothing. according to religion there were creators, who transcend time and matter. so technically there was nothing on both beliefs. so we, in no way, at any point in time, can call ourselves god. we are human, that is all. and we have come to have the ability to manipulate things in our environment. the idea of god will always be around.

[Snowman374th]

Is it so hard to acknowledge that perhaps in a twisted world today. There was all of this so long ago.. And after destruction it has been recreated again. We will never except total cleansing of humans. therefore always making ourselves better stronger & bigger. The bible merely states it was.. Now we find it can be... The tools we discover are amazing but nothing like they were at one time. But through contact they have jumped ahead in our time..

It all Must be reckoned with..

[Snowman374th]

Well.. So you have the first look into the very advanced human direction. We are a Type 3 human species. what they are referring to would maybe be the Type 4 species.. believe it or not. It is going to be done. This planet has recreated man many times. So this would be no different.

No body can say their is a God. That's kid stuff. Evolution could be all Science so advanced that it would look like a God that done it. This is too large for some humans to grasp. . future is now.

[ariues]

you mean homo erectus, neanderthalensis, and other human species or or you reffering to something else?

[Snowman374th]

For humans on Earth, There is a chance we could be engineered. That's why the other view of God, belief's are real to many, But no one seems to care at all.

Ones who do are attacked as always. So what Say's.. Right and wrong.

The path is narrow, But it is it reachable now.. Mankind has changed the rule of God, Wouldn't that be crime enough.

who knows what to believe. But yes to Ur Question.

[DJJimCowley]

intresting ,,,,

i always had that idea , that there is "god" but not as we think, rather as you said that this is all a science so advanced that we could never understand it.

[Snowman374th]

Thanks !

: )  -|-

[Steadno]

simply put, he knows didly!

[afgpiece]

artificial man who isn't dependent on oxygen. That would be cool.

[Dorfkanal]

From the point of evolution it's a bad idea to make our bodies dependant on artificial devices. I rather put the bet on genetic engineering in order to modify our genetic code to improve our capabilities.

[MajoraProject]

@Dorfkanal There are many things that genetic beings cant do that cybernetic beings could such as liveing in harsher locations or longer life

[sup5000]

@Dorfkanal then we use better artificial devices that we created from out improved capabilities lol

[sh1zlEE]

@Dorfkanal i agree completely

[HenryDavidT]

@Dorfkanal I agree the insertion of artificial devices into our body. Fortunately, the work on (1) genetic engineering and (2) cellular programming --- in which the human's own cells are being coaxed to either do new things we want, or to replace genetically malfunctioning cells (cells with genetic programming to die at a certain age) --- have been going on very well, albeit still in their very infancy and still moving slowly, due more to moral/ethical concern than to the lack of science...

[makemap]

@Dorfkanal Attempting to be godlike is dangerous. Your new gene are food for parasites.

[AppleSouffle]

Makemap, that doesn't really mean anything. I don't mean to pick on you, but the word godlike is too vague.

I could say that growing our own food is trying to be godlike since God is supposed to provide for his children.

When Benjamin Franklin invented the lighting rod, some people were saying the lightning rod interfered with the will of God. If lightning hit a tree, God wanted lightning to hit that tree.

[Dorfkanal]

@makemap

Your statement is pointless. I do not believe in any god.

[Maradobbo]

If anyone watching this is thinking of visiting Nepal, I can't recommend it enough - hiking up the Annapurna trek from Pokhara is incredible

Modern man as hunter-gatherer is indeed an interesting analogy, but when the topic moves to modern technology and knowledge of the human genome leading to the self-evolution towards an 'artificial human', this reveals the essential juxtaposition in consumer-capitalist liberal democracy:

[Maradobbo]

the ignorance and apathy of the mindless modern consumer, browsing and gathering, earning and spending at an ever more frenetic, exhausting pace, alongside the information processing hyper-rationality that present and future technology afford an ever more powerful (and entrenched) elite.

[Maradobbo]

Grotesque current levels of global inequality inevitably mean that, should 'artificial humans' evolve in the next century, they will (at least initially) constitute part of the global elite, ever improving (and exploiting) their sophistication.

[mozfreak84]

We are truly the new hunters and gatherers: we hunt and gather as consumers. Great perspective. Thanks!

[tomahawkinman]

this guy is full of shit

[gambit623]

very interesting....

[iviewthetube]

Interesting perspective.

[uname73]

good dialogue

[jerryaltman]

Science evoluted, but people overal are still retards, ignorants, alienated, deluded, greed, fake. In other words, a piece of shit surronded by microships. In a near future, maybe the definition of citizen will be: "A monkey driving George Jetson's flying car."

[bogieman987]

i dont want to be a robot i dont want the human race to robots because then we cant call our selfs humans ide rather stay human than be a robot although i wouldnt mind if a bit of my body was enhanced by robotics like the top of my brain if i had a bit of robotics up there just to connect the 2 sides of my brain so i will become smarter while i still have a normal brain so i am still human

[Omegax9000]

he makes it sound like a super race will take over but this super race will be us just modified i can live with that

[tmbill]

There is a Law, or set of Laws, that governs human beings and our existence... this individual seems to think that humanity will create its own laws- tinkering with our DNA and building robots (all from materials mined out of the ground mind you) until we are exempt from the Laws of Nature. Just as one does not need to believe in gravity to perish from its effects, one need not believe that the biosphere (ie Nature) has laws in order to suffer the effects of not abiding by said Laws.

[earthglson]

oh, you mean survival of the fittest, right?

[Kingneo0053]

And by the way you mean to tell me you are going to insult someone's intelligence while you yourself can't use proper english? Isn't that a bit of ironic?

Now I admit the guy could have word what he said in the video a bit better, but what he has already said has already happened and is being researched and improved as we speak. What do you think those drugs you buy on the counter or from a doctor is doing? What about those robotic limbs for injured vets? What about genetics? It is happening.

[Kingneo0053]

In all honesty we are most likely going to intergrate cybernetic implants within our own bodies having them take say 1% of our bodies to 100% eventually. Now you tell me if you could have a body, that feels the same, and is capable of all the things it is now, and far more would you rather have that body or the weaker one? Furthermore if you could do all of these things would you care if they were "artifical"? I think not.

[00mgill]

dude get a life u dont no shit haw the fuck r we gonna becume robots u geek

[Hellothasauras]

Huh, we are not gonna become robots, man, I hate all this artificial stuff sometimes..

[BreadWinner06]

shut the hell up , you dont even know what the hell you're talking about , dont watch videos that are beyond your intellectual capabilities

[blueangel409]

I agree with you an that, the human race is not insignificant you idiot! This guy really needs to get a life,

[Bridgerboy]

Damn talk about future shock.

[louis12346]

Global Warming will save 1.4 million people from cold.increased food production,more rain.Why does Al Gore want to kill people,mother Gia was wrong France runs 80% on Nuclear it is a low carbon foot print,While we are stuck in the 1960 s Grow Up

[Cunelito]

my my my

Save ?!?

Louis, get ur facts straight, global warming could be a global killer

[louis12346]

Yes by Global carbon TAX,· The Al Gore film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government's expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.

[KingR3aper]

uhh yeaah, see weighing future pros and cons - cons win out. Thats why.

[KingR3aper]

Also, though there are clear benefits. But we're not talking about just us here. Pine beatles, will not die from the cold anymore. Some birds have lost their sense of direction. You may think its great. But some places cant take the much more heat. Every year, one of the deserts in the world grow. so on and so on. And you want to risk even more of that because you like FOOD?

[louis12346]

You May Die from UN Carbon Tax. UK taxpayers are currently paying 7.9% of their entire tax budget as so-called green taxes, which is thankfully down from 8.something last year. I think the words "rip off" are what you are looking for.

[happyseaurchin]

saying how it is... we do indeed live in interesting times :)

[tomasaftalion]

share the same view my friend... strange times indeed

[louis12346]

You think changing one light bulb is your duty? NO ! I believe they want a carbon Tax,Carbon tax on internet, it would increase gas $3.00 a gallon increase food and goods because of shipping cost .and a increase in electric 1/3 higher,so I believe if it is a problem lets fix it by Shut off all electric 6 days a week,only drive car one day a week, only turn water on city for 2 hours a day, We have to save earth mandatory prison in dark cell, SAVE the EARTH get SERIOUS,

[sstdog]

i agree we have all these documentrys about thwats gonna happen to earth in the next 5 billion years but no 1 is doing fucking anything about it..espiecialy with bimbo loeaders like john howard or george bush

[lilginger31]

legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
