  • Dr. Brin, thank you for doing what it is you SHOULD be doing with your life. What a brilliant dude.

  • So you have solved the mystery to life and creation by saying you are an Atheist? What does being an Atheist really bring you other than the satisfaction of thinking that you are not deluded in believing in a personal God...What do you really gain? What do you really know? Who really know the secret of life and creation? How can you affirm anything so precise?

  • No one knows when is the judgement only GOD knows everything in this world what will gonna happen in the future! We have to repent and ask GOD forgiveness..

  • @2010Shanie I'm Atheist. What do I do?

  • @2010Shanie "this world what will gonna happen...." Jesus Christ people like you scare me to death. To the point of this video, Brin verbalizes thoughts which most educated people have, we just don't all have the capacity to put them into words. He knows his history & science and is profoundly brilliant. I am an avid fan for life.

  • Interesting that one of my comments was selectively removed. Censorship anyone? We can all relax now, big brother is in complete control...

  • There are a myriad of possibilities why there could be aliens who have not contacted us. Including their technological inability, their desire not to interfere with our disaster, their lack of desire, etc. There's also the possibility that we have been contacted on a small scale. Who knows and who cares. Unless they DO contact us and make some fundamental change in this existence than I really could care less.

  • Improve your sound...

  • This video is begging for an external mic, background music, cutaways, and something other than the 1972 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica in the background.

  • @poshko41 instead of listening to the message and participate in the discussion you're missing out on irrelevant things .

  • @poshko41 Right, because it's all about visual & audio stimulation and not actual content... Go watch cartoons if this isn't ADHD-inducing enough for you. I'd rather watch/listen to a crappy-quality monologue of his than just about anything else in the world. Brin is the man.

  • The greatest threat to the Earth, all life and the universe itself is the monetary system. If the Lifeboat Foundation does not recognize this threat, then the foundation is a joke. I would like to know what is the Lifeboat Foundation doing to eradicate the monetary system?

  • @humanpixel Nothing. As a matter of face we will sink by design

  • Well I don't no anything. But The resources on this planet are finite or not infinite. The resources I mean are food and water. The worlds population is 7 billion and I figure that about 5 of that billion are a clear result of oil. In 152, years oil has been able to increase the world population from 1.6 B in 1850 2 years before oil was first drilled to the 7 B it is today.

    Oil has made farming easier more food to be produced and easier to transport. Its running out so now what how many die?

  • @BaldEagle841 Its a question we have theories and some ways for other forms of energy. Nothing however as powerful as oil. All our cities run on it. All our cars planes trains. Most of us today got to work by the use of oil in some form or another. The trucks that bring food to grocery stores was fueled by oil. The tracker that farmed the field was powered by oil. Its magic for its gone to the moon to the depths of the oceans. Yet our magical oil is coming to a dried up dust bowl.

  • @BaldEagle841 Water of it that covers our planet only 2 percent of it is fresh an save to drink. However that is running out. An the oceans have receded cause farmers have curved the land to have rivers feed their farms. Instead of going to the sea to replenish the oceans. In Australia its law that you may only take a 5 minute shower. After they cut your water off so your stuck with soap or shampoo in your eyes. So there are real issues that need addressing not the religious one's.

  • Research "Ancient Alien Theory." The best source I've found is an old scholar named Zecharia Sitchin. He has a website named after his last name. They are starting to convert his books to Audio- Books. The sample audio-book I heard, I just couldn't move while listening to it! And I don't impress easily. Please check it out if you're interested in it. Peace

    Maybe we just haven't heard them yet. I'll get worried when we find thousands of earth like planets, focus our attention on them, and still hear nothing.

  • we are simply the FIRST advanced civilization

  • So basically it's quiet in the universe because alien species with advanced technology wipe themselves out (or are destroyed by an external factor) before they can master long-distance, deep-space communication and transport? We are one such 'alien species' approaching this point?

  • I love this! Some of our conversations make more sense now!

  • There was a wonderful Twilight Zone episode a few years ago, from the new ones or maybe it was The Outer Limits, well anyway, Te episode dealt with a high school student discovering a simple chemical process that led to a simple WMD being created. The episode made a point of saying what you are saying here. There is something that is either a) keeping civilizations out there from talking to us or b) destroying said civilizations before they are able to advance.
