This man is a genius, and we need to start thinking of a way to move into space as a human race, not a bunch of people who say oh im black or oh im native or oh im indian or oh im japanese. No we must look at the whole population of the earth as one race, one species. Space exploration and technological innovation without restriction, is the only way to keep everyone alive, fuck stability because stability as a whole is just foolish.
The liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) is a promising technology for our future energy needs. The Thorium fuel cycle is safer and more efficient than the enriched Uranium fuel cycle than current nuclear reactor technology uses today. Thorium is four times more abundant than Uranium and the LFTR can never undergo a meltdown such as happened in Japan.
There is a social problem; I was very influenced by "The Population Bomb" in the 1960s and I have had no children but currently I am the odd one out and am relatively alone compared to my friends who had children I still think reducing population growth is the a good thing but we need social change and different social arrangements as otherwise people aren't going to do it.
@ChrisCapel1998 speaking of sustainability have you seen the documentary about earthships and biotecture, titled "Garbage Warrior"? Population increase is beyond sustainable using, here on earth and elsewhere, the "earthship" model and the development of industry of a kind that would enable mass migration into outer space, if Most united in making The common goal the survival of everyone alive and all generations to follow. Imagine, with innovation, technology, on earth as it is in "heaven"
@ChrisCapel1998 if you do find time to watch the documentary and let me know what you think of the documentary. I replied to your comment because your comment caught my eye, I just hope I'm laughing (and everyone else too) this heartily when I am on my way out. I believe humans possess the ingenuity to accomplish the impossible if enough of the population joins in pursuing a common goal, e.g., self sufficient communities globally & reeducation , it can be done, a new industry.
@shano4241 geothermal energy is the energy of earth's inner heat, as the core of our planet is very hot. When you drill deeper into the ground, it gets hot there. That heat can be used to heat water, which produces steam, which can turn turbins which can produce electricity. So yup, its renewable. Take Iceland for example. Most parts of the Iceland have central heating where water is heated using solely geothermal energy. However, it is not accessible everywhere ( it's quite rare ; /)
You are thinking of the Northwest of China. I'm not really sure why anyone is talking about building new cities in the middle of nowhere? You don't need to build any new cities anymore. We have enough. What would slow human population growth? The same things as before I'm sure. Diseases, plagues, wars. but hopefully we can make it to 10 billion soon!
Growth is good and yes we are sustaining growth. This dude was wrong and is being proven wrong every year. Interestingly, the BEST way to improve efficiency right now is to HURRY growth. Sorry but old dude was proven wrong and is just another Marxist anyways.
@ElProximo By adding that he must be a "Marxist" you show your opinion is not based on fact ,but by feeling, or emotion and what you want to be true, or by ignorance and blind ideological of those you follow.
@iSolarthe2nd No it doesn't. I can add 'Marxist' and still be 100% bang-on the facts. He is the one giving you emotional appeals, emotional manipulation. Not me. You are the one swallowing his BS. Not me.
@ElProximo Now I have to admit that I am wrong. You just made a very compelling agreement: Math = emotional manipulation. Great Job. Plus I did not swallow his "BS". First off this seems quite legitimate. Second I will check the facts out for myself, but the logic behind what he says is solid.
@ElProximo But you're completely missing the point. The speaker doesn't care about improving market efficiency (in fact, he addressed the point you're making in part 6 of this video series), he's pointing out that current rates of growth in population and consumption will inevitably hit a wall when we run out of our finite resources. Whether the wall is the disease, war, or more people switching to bikes, it IS coming and we're going to have to face it. There's nothing Marxist about math.
@TwoOfThirteen Then his prediction is being proved wrong because we are now at 7 Billion and we are not even near running out of resources and even better increasing efficiency. There is no problem with resources available. Getting them faster, better, easier, cheaper.. that's required.
He doesn't specify a timeline for population growth causing the problems that he mentions. As he says, he does not predict the future, he just reports on a current trade. He is saying that, eventually, population growth WILL be halted by some resource-based force. His prediction cannot be proven wrong unless we maintain exponential population growth for eternity. Now, do you think that the Earth's finite supply of resources can last forever?
@TwoOfThirteen Okay, then I predict it WILL NOT be halted by some resource based force. So far, the current trends are proving me right and you never get to say I'm wrong. Even if it doesn't happen in 2 million years I will still be able to say "I said 'Eventually'!".
Yes, the Earths resources most definitely can last us forever. Humans. The only thing is the difficulty in accessing them. All trends show us become MORE efficient at getting to them AND using them even more efficiently.
@ElProximo You've got it backwards. I'm saying that we will eventually run out of resources and you're saying that we won't. In order to prove you right, we have to keep going forever. You'll never get to claim you're right.
I think that your faith in our resources lasting forever is shortsighted. We have limited quantities of resources like oil, coal, and gold, because the Earth's volume is finite... the only way we would never run out is if the Earth had literally infinite amounts of them.
@TwoOfThirteen Uh no of course I don't have it backwards. We have massive amounts of resources right now. We have for thousands of years, we kept looking and guess what is happening now? We are finding WAY WAY MORE resources. And what else is actually happening right now? Well we are constantly INCREASING EFFICIENCY in accessing these resources. So what I am telling you is that, based on observable reality around us - Humans won't run out. The Galaxy will collapse before then.
@ElProximo The thing is that at current growth rates population is set to double every sixty years or so, and with population increase comes increase in demand. Let's say (this is a completely wild guess) that demand for oil increases at a rate of 2% per year. That means that every 35 years, our oil use doubles, which means that every 35 years, we need to produce more oil than has ever been produced in the history of mankind in order to keep going. There's just no way that can continue.
@TwoOfThirteen Yes, of course we could keep going. Every year there is increased efficiency. Not even a few years back we couldn't figure out how to make oil sands work well. Now we are quickly advancing. We had no idea there was massive massive natural gas reserves as we just discovered - and we are constantly increasing efficiency in those too! Not only that but cars, stoves, washing machines etc all becoming more efficient. Nuclear power of course and only more discoveries as we go.
@ElProximo I'm beginning to think you haven't actually watched this video. The point of new discoveries of oil and energy is addressed, in part 6 I think, and the fact of the matter is that they aren't anywhere near enough to support growing demand. If you want to switch over to other energy sources, OK--swapping certainly delays the problem. But it doesn't remove it entirely. Until we invent the perpetual motion machine, we will always face the problem of dwindling resources.
@TwoOfThirteen I work with Gas and Oil industry all the time. This video is just plain wrong. There is epic resources available. The only question is how easily and quickly and efficiently we can get to those resources. The good news is that this is improving as populations grow and so does industry become faster and more efficient. This video is a pathetic anti-Human propaganda film. He had to do this like his 'payment' for letting him have a career. Make some Marxist anti-life crap.
@ElProximo Not sure how personal attacks are relevant, all he's doing is taking the math (an exponential function) and extrapolating.
The sticking point here is your refusal to accept that we have a finite amount of resources. You do understand that the earth has finite volume, right? But no, let's do some math. Say you're right, and we have "epic resources". If we've used 1% of the world's oil (vast underestimate) and oil demand continues to grow at 2% per year, we're still out in 200 years.
@TwoOfThirteen Lots of problems in this presumption and what isn't discussed. Oil is just 1 source of energy. There is massive gas, nuclear and other sources. Humans don't require infinite energy. NA and Europe maxing out (and even requiring LESS in many cases) and after going over an 'arc' China and India etc arrive at max energy fill and needs and will also get MORE efficient. All rolling to increased extraction tech = 'virtually unlimited resources' for our needs for long long long time.
@ElProximo Of course there are other sources of energy. All of the ones you are discussing face exactly the same resource limitations as oil.
Your second argument is better. The problem here is that you're agreeing with me: I'm saying that continued growth is unsustainable, and you're saying that continued growth will not happen. See?
Still, energy is just one aspect of resource limitations. What happens when we start to run out of space?
@TwoOfThirteen If you are trying to play word definition game over the concept of 'finite' then that is gay and unhelpful. There is so much natural gas (and this is only what we have discovered so far) so much we couldn't burn it in 300 years. Add oil and nuclear and you are talking millenniums. I am saying 'increasing demand' is not infinite. As an example: My house doubled in population and uses LESS energy than it did 25 years ago. This is true for the 'big picture' on Earth too.
@ElProximo I'm not playing a word definition game. I am using the definition of "finite": limited. There are limited resources. We cannot expand infinitely.
I'd like sources for your estimates and I want to know if they account for growth in demand and population. (Good job ducking the space question, by the way.)
Your house isn't relevant, and that's NOT true for "the big picture on Earth". Earth is using way more energy than it used to and the growth shows no signs of slowing.
@TwoOfThirteen Yes, my house is a good example of the big picture. It now cost less to extract a liter of oil from oil sands. My car gets better gas mileage than my old one (yet is faster with more HP).
What 'space question' did you ask and what even makes you think you have shown up to subject me to an interview? You answer my questions and start answering to me.
Yes, people are most definitely demonstrating (not 'showing signs) but demonstrating more efficient resource use. Really.
@ElProximo The difference between your house and the world is that your house is using less energy and the world is using more. That's because efficiency increases at your house were able to offset population growth. As developing countries grow, this will not be the case. Efficient tech is expensive and developing nations rarely shell out for it.
I just asked "What happens when we start to run out of space?". I've been answering for a while; you don't have a right to exclusive questioning.
@TwoOfThirteen Nope. We already have demonstration. It goes like this: NA starts rough. pumping and drilling is wasteful, so is forestry, but once we get enough wealth we improve and overcome a kind of 'hump' in the arc and soon start becoming increasingly efficient, faster, drills, computer-aided milling = starts getting 'profitable' with resources. China is going over the hump. India starting. give enough time and soon they get there too.
@ElProximo India and China may be "starting to get over the hump", but only a select few countries are actually at a point where efficiency is starting to become a thing. These countries hardly represent the full population of the globe, and actually, with industrialization comes population growth. If the world really does finish industrializing, a huge chunk of it still needs to get "over the hump". I think you're overestimating the abundance of the Earth's resources.
@TwoOfThirteen Well yes Indian and China are a massive remaining portion of the worlds population. Around 2.5 Billion people. They have a decade or two before catching up (overall) and possibly surpassing us in energy 'harvesting' and then use. About half the planet is behind them. The Earths resources are massive already.. this is only what small portion we know of!
@ElProximo Can I get a source for your numbers? They don't jive with the ones in the video series above, and I'd like to know where they're coming from.
Northern China is huge, yes, but consider how much of it is actually feasibly habitable. (The same goes for Texas). Remember that developing new area continues massive resource burn.
@TwoOfThirteen Almost all of China is habitable but you will get some nice cold winters in the North comparable to Michigan or Alberta (if you know these places). But they have good Summers for corn and whatnot. Developing new areas is far more efficient. A Hutong in Beijing is extremely inefficient (still burning coal!) but you should see the astonishing efficiency of the new towers. Nearly 100,000 people in very cool new super-efficient apartments with surprisingly small footprints.
@ElProximo Constructing entirely new residencies and facilities in the middle of nowhere is an absolute logistics nightmare and no one has the economy to be able to pull it off. A decent amount of Northern China is desert.
We've strayed far enough from the point by now. The point: All Dr. Bartlett is predicting is an end to population growth (a tenet that I'm not sure you actually disagree with). Regardless of absent data and minutiae, I still haven't seen anything provided to counter that.
@TwoOfThirteen I really don't know why you are asking about 'running out of space'? Are you talking about actual people? As we stand today at just 7 billion. Suppose every human on Earth lived in a typical wide and spacious USA suburb. Parks, malls, homes, some apartments, industrial parks etc. We would all fit into Texas. Which sounds good until you look at google earth and realize that is a TINY TINY part of the Earth! And we could easily double inside that space if we wanted.
@ElProximo Except that estimate doesn't include any facilities like hospitals, roads, fire stations, prisons, stores, or land for agriculture/energy. So yes, if we all wanted to starve to death and contract terminal diseases, we could fit in Texas. If we wanted to contract diseases faster, we could double in that space.
Even the website I found the Texas info on claims that population growth will soon be stopped. The question you should be asking, the one implied by this video, is "by what?"
@TwoOfThirteen Yes, my example includes everything but if you want then expand those into.. let's say Nevada. This is the entire population of humans, all their possible spaces, places and things. And yes I do believe we could do a better job (hate 'sprawl) and be far more efficient. We are already doing that anyways. New construction (fueled by resources) and better planning. Even still, even now, Beijing is a SPECK compared to the astonishing vastness of Northern China above. A tiny point.
Wake up everyone! these are the facts based on our current reference to our current consumption and growth - Americas media and government and majority of the general public define the word stupid! Ignorance to the facts are not bliss they are the planets ticket to the end of human life from our own doing. every new born if not a miracle but only a participant to our doom!
“We must EDUCATE …”. Well, that won’t help with the ignorance one bit. People are cattle, and there are only a few leaders / opinion makers. Those, like all life, have only one interest: Growth through consumption of resources. And only one fear: Losing in the game of natural selection. This is by DEFINITION true for ALL life in ALL of the universe forever. So no changing that, as it literally means death. So the only solution is to make them believe, OUR prosperity would cause their growth.
Bartlett needs to do some of his own math to see how ridiculous some of his ideas are. Those 9 councilors and the population of 20,000. Does he seriously believe those politicians were giving their 2,222 share of the population personal service to everybody who might have wanted it? Politicians have always treated their populations like a statistical analysis or census poll. Increasing the ratio doesn't change that.
tHIS GUY IS A nwO GEO ENGINEERER- AS WELL A POPULAR MEMBER MOST LIKELY OF THE CFR AND BOHEMIAN GROVE -- OIL YOU DUMBSHIT IS ABIOTIC-- WHICH MEANS RENEWABLE-- PROOF--OIL WELL DRYS OUT-- GO BACK 10-12 YEARS LATER IT HAS OIL IN IT -- "FOSSIL FUEL" IS A MISNOMER -- THIS GUY IS A FRAUD -- A EUGENISTS---
@TheGoldcolor Thinking, information, ur doing it wrong. Fuel is a hydrocarbons mixture. Google it first before blindly raging at a fact stating guy. It is renewable.... IN MILLION YEARS, AFTER SOME MAJOR PRESSURE AND EARTH CRUST MOVING.... I BET THAT IF I KILL YOU, BURY YOU DEEP DOWN IN A MILLION YEARS I WILL FIND A TINY DROP OF OIL. THAT'S HOW MUCH U'R WORTHING.
@TheGoldcolor I agree that this guy is a eugenist because when he listed the population chart with items causing population decline he neglected to mention the most important one...acts of God! He doesn't mention volcanos, tsunamis, earthquake, drought, floods, hurricanes, tornados, pestulance, ozone holes,epidemics, dust storms, water spouts, etc. & doesn't count them into his equation. Just as we could end the FED and end inflation we could use vehicles powered by compressed air or steam!
@TheGoldcolor I agree that this guy is a eugenist because when he listed the population chart with items causing population decline he neglected to mention the most important one...acts of God! He doesn't mention volcanos, tsunamis, earthquake, drought, floods, hurricanes, tornados, pestulance, ozone holes,epidemics, dust storms, etc or MONSANTO's GMOs, & he doesn't count them into his equation. We could end the FED and end inflation we could use vehicles powered by compressed air or steam!
@drshlotzkin I can't see petro-rationing being a good idea. Many of the population will comply, but in the belief their compliance will lead to a resolution to a temporary problem before a return to the good old days. If they came to realise that their petro-rationing was probably indefinite and will possibly continue for the rest of their adult lives then they would despair, or they will riot. Same psychology with an economic depression.
@TheAerosmither I'm guessing about 20 years in reality, but i didn't do any calculation. i don't think it's possible for OPEC to icrease production by 5% per year for the next 80 years, that would be huge number.
Search for "FREE ENERGY Home Generator -Zero Point Energy - Off the Grid" on YouTube to find another example of how we are NOT the problem, we are the SOLUTION!
My intention is NOT to troll this series! I want to give others an alternative viewpoint... only that!
It's great stuff about doubling times and such, but it is bad science! It is based upon globalist scarcity lies. The professor is completely given over to those lies. He simply provides a convincing plausibility for this scripted scarcity. Wake up people, you are being lied to. We are NOT running out of oil. Oil does NOT come from dinosaurs and dead plant life! Stop believing these lies.
@redhat123456789 so please go kill yourself for the world... and forget about procreation. That's what all the liberals are doing lately not even having kids... who's going to look out for you when your old?? the government? are you relying on social security benefits?? you wanna talk about mathematics why not show the people that it's absolutely impossible for us to even pay off the debt we owe. even with all the money in Europe combined. please!!!! call me an idiot all you want.
@G0LizardGo a sad irony is to be plucked from the dense thicket of crazy in that paragraph; religious nuts in the US are outbreeding the rest of us by a wide margin. fervent religion≠liberal democracy, not one worth living in anyway...so in a sense, those of us who love mom, the constitution and abe lincoln, we need to outbreed all the fundies out there or it's gonna be magic underwear and dry counties across the land. let's get started--who's got some weed?
@redhat123456789 How is saying that I can recognize dehumanizing propaganda a lie? Are you just pulling insults out of your ass calling me a fetus?? Pretty sure I said I saw it for what it was within seconds... anywhere in that sentence did I say I actually LISTENED to the entire hogwash?! I'm beginning to think your comprehension level is the questionable one.
@catflab There isn't a recovery at part 6, there's actually missing data at part 5 because the original video of part 5 was reuploaded - adding the views of the two together you end up with ~360,00, which is what you would expect in-between parts 4 and 6. There was a recovery at part 8 - but you can explain that of people just getting bored, then skipping to the end to see if there's anything good :).
i watched all these, and i have the answer, we must cap births for atleast 100 years, on a global scale.make people live longer, terraform other planets,use nuclear energy, move out into the stars! even carl sagan would agree with me on this one!
I saw it for what it is within seconds... overpopulation "kill yourself for the world," don't have children ANTI HUMAN & ANTI FAMILY!!! Bureaucrats like these telling lies is what loses peoples interest.
Why are people so insistent on saying we have to stop something BEFORE it happens... didn't he say in the last video NATURE is doing the job for us. If there isn't enough food then people will die... are you worried it might be you?? We occupy 3% of the worlds land mass... I didn't hear anything about that in his insultingly simple "arithmetic"
@G0LizardGo He said that, at the current rate of growth, there will be 1 person per square foot on Earth in about 2,400 years. Of course, the problem is that we will have run out of oil and coal reserves much earlier than then. It's easy to just sit back and let things play out, but if we have any hope of maintaining a stable society we need to figure out how we are going to function when we no longer have these resources. Most people worry about dying. If you don't, then go kill yourself.
@lukesanborn87 i think that's the point... lmao. kill yourself for the greater good... don't have kids don't procreate. They feed to your fear of dying... of course you fear death.
@G0LizardGo Idiot. He addressed the exact topic of how much landmass we occupy. Watch all the videos before you try to call him out on things you think he didn't mention.
@dpla5762 I'm calling him out on being an anti-human old nut job... He wants you to kill yourself for the world. Why would I watch every video of this old fart talking about how useless and parasitic my fellow man is?? no thanks..
@G0LizardGo So you admit you didn't even watch the videos. Were you listening to The Dude's story? You have no frame of reference here. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know...
@G0LizardGo He said nothing about population control. You cannot argue with the fact that overpopulation will happen in our lifetime. His message is to be aware it will happen and prices will be out of control not that he wants to stop anything from happening. You don't even know what you are arguing about. YOU are the only idiot talking about population control while this mathematician is talking about mathematics.
@G0LizardGo You're an idiot, he never suggests killing yourself...ever, in any of the parts. He strongly suggests EDUCATING people about this serious situation; is 'education' and 'killing yourself' the same thing in your mind? If someone tried to show you where Canada was on a map, would you think they were telling you to kill yourself?
@G0LizardGo And anti-human? I suppose he's also anti-religion for saying "don't let other people do the thinking for you." You're taking the wrong message from this lecture, then amplifying that wrong message to the extreme.
@G0LizardGo It's not crazy, it's math...Just math. It's just a video of facts, there are no anti-human statements. If you don't believe me, I challenge you to find me one anti-human quote ( that you DON'T take out of context ) in all eight parts....Personal vindication will give you incentive to actually watch all eight parts. If you're going to claim that he's telling you to kill yourself and making anti-human claims, be prepared to provide actual proof, with video link and time in the video.
@Chrispy0000 I'm looking at the big picture here... His entire lecture is reiterating a lie. That there aren't enough resources! He is by far not the only person teaching this disturbing lie I've been taught this via government public education my entire childhood. You know there are plenty of skeptics who believe the opposite that we are heading for a depopulation crisis. We are far below replacement levels due to pressure not to procreate and laws forbidding for more than one child.
@G0LizardGo I'll take that as a failure to locate an example. We are consuming oil far quicker than it takes the earth to create more; We've dried up countless oil fields,so it's only a matter of time until they are all gone. That's an Invalid point, there is only ONE country with the "one-child policy." Procreation levels are fairly constant (again, exponential growth), not every country is like the U.S. His lecture is just math and numbers, nothing more,do you disagree with simple arithmetic?
@Chrispy0000 you can take it for whatever you'd like sir. ;) Italy has a fertility rate of 1.2 and almost every developed world has a below replacement fertility rate. Starvation and poverty have always existed, even when the population was considerably less. It is a result of bad distribution and economic policy. Babies are good. Seriously.
@G0LizardGo I'll take it for what it is.This is really an irrelevant conclusion anyways, the main point is that the video does NOT advocate killing oneself. The speaker simply enlightens the audience to the severe problem of the exponential function,regardless of current rates (being below or above) it's still exponential,so humanity is still growing at an alarming rate and will continue to do so. I suggest you actually watch the videos before making outrageously incorrect and irrational claims.
@G0LizardGo you obviously don't know much about geography, or atleast social geography, but basically all countries will keep growing until they reach the same spot as us and IS bad. They're going through fases we already went through, not only that, they're doing it faster then we did and we're giving them the space to do so (bet there are a billion reasons why they would do so). If the entire world would be full of industrialized countries with a need for energy what do you think will happen?
@superdarkmario2 lol you're right!!! I'm not talking out of a text book like most of you guys! I'm speaking from History researchers not teachers via government education. It would be impossible for every country to be industrialized... and not necessary. If every country provided for THEMSELVES and themselves only. Each would be stronger and less likely to be taken over by corrupt policies and UN affiliates.
@G0LizardGo what an idealic world you must live in: actual math has no relevance, resources are infinite, people who don't share your beliefs are wrong, and you have your own version of history. You sure you weren't homeschooled?
@MrCleanandWhite Prof Bartlett started these lectures in 1969 when world population was approximately 3.5bn. Next year it is predicted to reach 7bn. So using your arithmetic it took 90,000 years to reach 3.5bn and only 42 years to double. I agree with you that's the power of exponential growth.
there is a old saying that a technology will soon become dead when it becomes maximized or too big. The last water wheels were the largest built but soon after the steam engine became the power. The last wooden bridges were the largest but soon became obsolete as people started using steel and iron.
The same thing is going with oil, we're trying to do more with oil and we keep on hitting dead ends. Lets face it, corporations want profit, NO ONE wants to change. But it will be swept aside!!!
@MrBigEnchilada Fossil fuel is not a "technology" though, it is a resource which makes much of our technology run at this time. Obsolete technology gets replaced usually by choice, while fossil fuel will be replaced by necessity. The problem is that those with vested interests in fossil fuel have deliberately slowed the development of viable alternatives for so long that a smooth transition to other energy sources is now unlikely.
Nice. You'd think a college level educator could figure out that he lives in a Republic, not a Democracy. An increase or decrease of the population of the United States has no impact on it's ability to govern.
Also, his use of the phrase "Sustainability" outs him as a supporter of mass population reduction as alluded to in the report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: "Our Common Future" published over twenty years ago. A startling read.
3:10 of the video above, is the synopsis of THIS WHOLE VIDEO SERIES (& "The Powers That Be"/The NWO elitists HAVE KNOWN THIS FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just what The Zeitgeist Movement have been saying, just check their webite, aslo you can visit The Venus Project which is the solution for this and other problems. Also if you wanna help with your computer research cures/treatment for diseases like AIDS, Cancer, etc, visit my channel; I have the addresses of both projects in my channel.
I like the presentation and simple math. Of course, he is right on many levels but his figures on ANWR are completely wrong and he doesn't take into account Bakken or other reserves. As price goes up, economically recoverable oil increases. In any case, this can't go on forever. As humans, we desperately need to find alternatives. In the meantime, we need to use what is currently available.
@gopuli That's part of the problem isn't it? You say we need to use what is currently available, but who decides what is currently available? and for what motives?
As a constructive criticism. What if we increase biofuels, nuclear energy, tap new sources of oil, and renovable energies? what if we make a functioning fusion reactor? There are too many possibilities to start screaming, all is doomed! doomed, I say!
I drive a 1.6l honda and I'm paing 7.36$ a galon here in Europe. I see american kids drive 5.0l 150hp V8's 500m to school on TV... and you have to ask why ppl hate america? Overpopulation? Overconsumption? Yeah lets depopulate=genocide 3rd world (Over my dead body)! African ppl don't drive muscle cars! You do! You are a virus with shoes!
@5printR Being an american teen I fully agree with you. To many people useing vehicles that use more than a reasonable amount of fuel. I want a moped, like 65 mpg :D
But yeah, its the people that you describe that makes me dislike being an american.
@CymroGoch Not at all. I find it offensive that All of the trolls on here such as yourself automaticlly assume that every teenager is completely ignorant of the problem and because of this they accuse every single teen of aiding the problem through ignorance. Of course trying to show that has a catch-22 , because when us few relatively intelligent members of the younger generation attempt to show that we ARE aware, pretentious fuckwits such as yourself have to show their ass. Good-day sir.
@CymroGoch How am I to assume that you do not have a knighthood. Do you go around showing no respect for anyone, or do you ask if they are knighted before you address them in any way?
Also if you would re-read the last response I posted that you were responding to, I was stating that YOU assumed something where as I assumed nothing. Now I would appreciate it (and I'm sure wonderingmind would appreciate it) if you would stop making posts where you are grasping for straws.
@CymroGoch Well see even then you are assumeing that I am also from Wales. Where I am from it is a sign of respect, not of knighthood. That said it would be pretty cool if someone could go around here saying they were a knight ;)
@CymroGoch As a side note, I was replying to 5printr's response about "american kids " driving gas guzzling muscle cars. I would assume that the "kids" he are talking about are around my age. So it is completely relevent for me to say that I am a teen.
@catflab it's probably not as bad as you think. 1. You don't need to watch all 8 parts to get the message. 2.Also, you lose about 60% of viewers right about when the word "exponential" came up on screen.
@catflab I was watching a video with a buddy about Zeitgeist,and he told me the same exact thing..haha,you must be an inteligent person,just like him.Cheers bro!
@catflab Somewhere between parts 1-4, people get bored or think to themselves "i know this" and skip forward, "hmm, about number 6 feels about right for the Good Stuff". Same thinking for #8, except it's the really impatient "I'm really smart and know this" people.
@catflab good post i think its because people want to see the LAST part of everything to see the CONCLUSION, you know the future. And then some people went back to part 7 because they thought they missed something...
@catflab This is actually a great statistic to show the average attention span of American students. This is why so many people will suffer. You can pretty much staple the answers to their foreheads and they will be clueless. If people really are going to believe the governments of the world have our best interests, then you should also believe that they are going to bake everyone a cake too. Make mine Chocolate!!
@catflab I'll admit I do not have a great attention span myself, but I watched at least 3 parts in a row before losing interest. For roughly 50% of viewers to stop watching after the first part, has to take an unimaginably small intellect which I do not have. I also notice there are many stupid and simplistic comments on the first part, yet a massive downslide in such type of comments as the views go down. I guess this is a good filter for intelligence.
@vgman94 seeing the subject, the fact that people are not either interested or intelligent enough to follow this worries me very much. Of course, the downslide is going on and we can pretty just wait when resourcers are used and see how economy copes with that. Personally, I don't think it will be much fun for anyone but we will see.
@catflab i discovered part 8 first, so maybe some people start on the later video's or random videos because the majority of the parts are statistically similar and of close numerical values you see bro
@catflab you are correct- those numbers don't lie besides he is not accouting for the thousands of discoveries that have been made just since this was filmed he's smart but he's human::

The liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) is a promising technology for our future energy needs. The Thorium fuel cycle is safer and more efficient than the enriched Uranium fuel cycle than current nuclear reactor technology uses today. Thorium is four times more abundant than Uranium and the LFTR can never undergo a meltdown such as happened in Japan.

@shano4241 geothermal energy is the energy of earth's inner heat, as the core of our planet is very hot. When you drill deeper into the ground, it gets hot there. That heat can be used to heat water, which produces steam, which can turn turbins which can produce electricity. So yup, its renewable. Take Iceland for example. Most parts of the Iceland have central heating where water is heated using solely geothermal energy. However, it is not accessible everywhere ( it's quite rare ; /)

@ElProximo But you're completely missing the point. The speaker doesn't care about improving market efficiency (in fact, he addressed the point you're making in part 6 of this video series), he's pointing out that current rates of growth in population and consumption will inevitably hit a wall when we run out of our finite resources. Whether the wall is the disease, war, or more people switching to bikes, it IS coming and we're going to have to face it. There's nothing Marxist about math.
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago in playlist The Most IMPORTANT Video You'll Ever See
@TwoOfThirteen Then his prediction is being proved wrong because we are now at 7 Billion and we are not even near running out of resources and even better increasing efficiency. There is no problem with resources available. Getting them faster, better, easier, cheaper.. that's required.
ElProximo 2 months ago
@ElProximo No. You are wrong.
He doesn't specify a timeline for population growth causing the problems that he mentions. As he says, he does not predict the future, he just reports on a current trade. He is saying that, eventually, population growth WILL be halted by some resource-based force. His prediction cannot be proven wrong unless we maintain exponential population growth for eternity. Now, do you think that the Earth's finite supply of resources can last forever?
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen Okay, then I predict it WILL NOT be halted by some resource based force. So far, the current trends are proving me right and you never get to say I'm wrong. Even if it doesn't happen in 2 million years I will still be able to say "I said 'Eventually'!".
Yes, the Earths resources most definitely can last us forever. Humans. The only thing is the difficulty in accessing them. All trends show us become MORE efficient at getting to them AND using them even more efficiently.
ElProximo 2 months ago
@ElProximo You've got it backwards. I'm saying that we will eventually run out of resources and you're saying that we won't. In order to prove you right, we have to keep going forever. You'll never get to claim you're right.
I think that your faith in our resources lasting forever is shortsighted. We have limited quantities of resources like oil, coal, and gold, because the Earth's volume is finite... the only way we would never run out is if the Earth had literally infinite amounts of them.
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen Uh no of course I don't have it backwards. We have massive amounts of resources right now. We have for thousands of years, we kept looking and guess what is happening now? We are finding WAY WAY MORE resources. And what else is actually happening right now? Well we are constantly INCREASING EFFICIENCY in accessing these resources. So what I am telling you is that, based on observable reality around us - Humans won't run out. The Galaxy will collapse before then.
ElProximo 2 months ago
@ElProximo The thing is that at current growth rates population is set to double every sixty years or so, and with population increase comes increase in demand. Let's say (this is a completely wild guess) that demand for oil increases at a rate of 2% per year. That means that every 35 years, our oil use doubles, which means that every 35 years, we need to produce more oil than has ever been produced in the history of mankind in order to keep going. There's just no way that can continue.
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen Yes, of course we could keep going. Every year there is increased efficiency. Not even a few years back we couldn't figure out how to make oil sands work well. Now we are quickly advancing. We had no idea there was massive massive natural gas reserves as we just discovered - and we are constantly increasing efficiency in those too! Not only that but cars, stoves, washing machines etc all becoming more efficient. Nuclear power of course and only more discoveries as we go.
ElProximo 2 months ago
@ElProximo I'm beginning to think you haven't actually watched this video. The point of new discoveries of oil and energy is addressed, in part 6 I think, and the fact of the matter is that they aren't anywhere near enough to support growing demand. If you want to switch over to other energy sources, OK--swapping certainly delays the problem. But it doesn't remove it entirely. Until we invent the perpetual motion machine, we will always face the problem of dwindling resources.
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen I work with Gas and Oil industry all the time. This video is just plain wrong. There is epic resources available. The only question is how easily and quickly and efficiently we can get to those resources. The good news is that this is improving as populations grow and so does industry become faster and more efficient. This video is a pathetic anti-Human propaganda film. He had to do this like his 'payment' for letting him have a career. Make some Marxist anti-life crap.
ElProximo 2 months ago
@ElProximo Not sure how personal attacks are relevant, all he's doing is taking the math (an exponential function) and extrapolating.
The sticking point here is your refusal to accept that we have a finite amount of resources. You do understand that the earth has finite volume, right? But no, let's do some math. Say you're right, and we have "epic resources". If we've used 1% of the world's oil (vast underestimate) and oil demand continues to grow at 2% per year, we're still out in 200 years.
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen Lots of problems in this presumption and what isn't discussed. Oil is just 1 source of energy. There is massive gas, nuclear and other sources. Humans don't require infinite energy. NA and Europe maxing out (and even requiring LESS in many cases) and after going over an 'arc' China and India etc arrive at max energy fill and needs and will also get MORE efficient. All rolling to increased extraction tech = 'virtually unlimited resources' for our needs for long long long time.
ElProximo 2 months ago
@ElProximo Of course there are other sources of energy. All of the ones you are discussing face exactly the same resource limitations as oil.
Your second argument is better. The problem here is that you're agreeing with me: I'm saying that continued growth is unsustainable, and you're saying that continued growth will not happen. See?
Still, energy is just one aspect of resource limitations. What happens when we start to run out of space?
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen If you are trying to play word definition game over the concept of 'finite' then that is gay and unhelpful. There is so much natural gas (and this is only what we have discovered so far) so much we couldn't burn it in 300 years. Add oil and nuclear and you are talking millenniums. I am saying 'increasing demand' is not infinite. As an example: My house doubled in population and uses LESS energy than it did 25 years ago. This is true for the 'big picture' on Earth too.
ElProximo 2 months ago
@ElProximo I'm not playing a word definition game. I am using the definition of "finite": limited. There are limited resources. We cannot expand infinitely.
I'd like sources for your estimates and I want to know if they account for growth in demand and population. (Good job ducking the space question, by the way.)
Your house isn't relevant, and that's NOT true for "the big picture on Earth". Earth is using way more energy than it used to and the growth shows no signs of slowing.
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen Yes, my house is a good example of the big picture. It now cost less to extract a liter of oil from oil sands. My car gets better gas mileage than my old one (yet is faster with more HP).
What 'space question' did you ask and what even makes you think you have shown up to subject me to an interview? You answer my questions and start answering to me.
Yes, people are most definitely demonstrating (not 'showing signs) but demonstrating more efficient resource use. Really.
ElProximo 2 months ago
@ElProximo The difference between your house and the world is that your house is using less energy and the world is using more. That's because efficiency increases at your house were able to offset population growth. As developing countries grow, this will not be the case. Efficient tech is expensive and developing nations rarely shell out for it.
I just asked "What happens when we start to run out of space?". I've been answering for a while; you don't have a right to exclusive questioning.
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen Nope. We already have demonstration. It goes like this: NA starts rough. pumping and drilling is wasteful, so is forestry, but once we get enough wealth we improve and overcome a kind of 'hump' in the arc and soon start becoming increasingly efficient, faster, drills, computer-aided milling = starts getting 'profitable' with resources. China is going over the hump. India starting. give enough time and soon they get there too.
ElProximo 2 months ago
@ElProximo India and China may be "starting to get over the hump", but only a select few countries are actually at a point where efficiency is starting to become a thing. These countries hardly represent the full population of the globe, and actually, with industrialization comes population growth. If the world really does finish industrializing, a huge chunk of it still needs to get "over the hump". I think you're overestimating the abundance of the Earth's resources.
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen Well yes Indian and China are a massive remaining portion of the worlds population. Around 2.5 Billion people. They have a decade or two before catching up (overall) and possibly surpassing us in energy 'harvesting' and then use. About half the planet is behind them. The Earths resources are massive already.. this is only what small portion we know of!

@ElProximo Can I get a source for your numbers? They don't jive with the ones in the video series above, and I'd like to know where they're coming from.
Northern China is huge, yes, but consider how much of it is actually feasibly habitable. (The same goes for Texas). Remember that developing new area continues massive resource burn.
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen Almost all of China is habitable but you will get some nice cold winters in the North comparable to Michigan or Alberta (if you know these places). But they have good Summers for corn and whatnot. Developing new areas is far more efficient. A Hutong in Beijing is extremely inefficient (still burning coal!) but you should see the astonishing efficiency of the new towers. Nearly 100,000 people in very cool new super-efficient apartments with surprisingly small footprints.

@ElProximo Constructing entirely new residencies and facilities in the middle of nowhere is an absolute logistics nightmare and no one has the economy to be able to pull it off. A decent amount of Northern China is desert.
We've strayed far enough from the point by now. The point: All Dr. Bartlett is predicting is an end to population growth (a tenet that I'm not sure you actually disagree with). Regardless of absent data and minutiae, I still haven't seen anything provided to counter that.
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen I really don't know why you are asking about 'running out of space'? Are you talking about actual people? As we stand today at just 7 billion. Suppose every human on Earth lived in a typical wide and spacious USA suburb. Parks, malls, homes, some apartments, industrial parks etc. We would all fit into Texas. Which sounds good until you look at google earth and realize that is a TINY TINY part of the Earth! And we could easily double inside that space if we wanted.
ElProximo 2 months ago
@ElProximo Except that estimate doesn't include any facilities like hospitals, roads, fire stations, prisons, stores, or land for agriculture/energy. So yes, if we all wanted to starve to death and contract terminal diseases, we could fit in Texas. If we wanted to contract diseases faster, we could double in that space.
Even the website I found the Texas info on claims that population growth will soon be stopped. The question you should be asking, the one implied by this video, is "by what?"
TwoOfThirteen 2 months ago
@TwoOfThirteen Yes, my example includes everything but if you want then expand those into.. let's say Nevada. This is the entire population of humans, all their possible spaces, places and things. And yes I do believe we could do a better job (hate 'sprawl) and be far more efficient. We are already doing that anyways. New construction (fueled by resources) and better planning. Even still, even now, Beijing is a SPECK compared to the astonishing vastness of Northern China above. A tiny point.

Bartlett needs to do some of his own math to see how ridiculous some of his ideas are. Those 9 councilors and the population of 20,000.

Politicians have always treated their populations like a statistical analysis or census poll. Increasing the ratio doesn't change that.

so (bmx4637) told me according the calculation its 32 yrs not 80yrs.

It's easy to just sit back and let things play out, but if we have any hope of maintaining a stable society we need to figure out how we are going to function when we no longer have these resources. Most people worry about dying. If you don't, then go kill yourself.

@G0LizardGo So you admit you didn't even watch the videos. Were you listening to The Dude's story? You have no frame of reference here. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know...
dpla5762 8 months ago
@G0LizardGo He said nothing about population control. You cannot argue with the fact that overpopulation will happen in our lifetime. His message is to be aware it will happen and prices will be out of control not that he wants to stop anything from happening. You don't even know what you are arguing about. YOU are the only idiot talking about population control while this mathematician is talking about mathematics.
dpla5762 8 months ago
@G0LizardGo You're an idiot, he never suggests killing yourself...ever, in any of the parts. He strongly suggests EDUCATING people about this serious situation; is 'education' and 'killing yourself' the same thing in your mind? If someone tried to show you where Canada was on a map, would you think they were telling you to kill yourself?
Chrispy0000 8 months ago
@G0LizardGo And anti-human? I suppose he's also anti-religion for saying "don't let other people do the thinking for you." You're taking the wrong message from this lecture, then amplifying that wrong message to the extreme.

@G0LizardGo It's not crazy, it's math...Just math. It's just a video of facts, there are no anti-human statements. If you don't believe me, I challenge you to find me one anti-human quote ( that you DON'T take out of context ) in all eight parts....Personal vindication will give you incentive to actually watch all eight parts. If you're going to claim that he's telling you to kill yourself and making anti-human claims, be prepared to provide actual proof, with video link and time in the video.

@Chrispy0000 I'm looking at the big picture here... His entire lecture is reiterating a lie. That there aren't enough resources! He is by far not the only person teaching this disturbing lie I've been taught this via government public education my entire childhood. You know there are plenty of skeptics who believe the opposite that we are heading for a depopulation crisis. We are far below replacement levels due to pressure not to procreate and laws forbidding for more than one child.
G0LizardGo 7 months ago
@G0LizardGo I'll take that as a failure to locate an example. We are consuming oil far quicker than it takes the earth to create more; We've dried up countless oil fields,so it's only a matter of time until they are all gone. That's an Invalid point, there is only ONE country with the "one-child policy." Procreation levels are fairly constant (again, exponential growth), not every country is like the U.S. His lecture is just math and numbers, nothing more,do you disagree with simple arithmetic?
Chrispy0000 7 months ago
@Chrispy0000 you can take it for whatever you'd like sir. ;) Italy has a fertility rate of 1.2 and almost every developed world has a below replacement fertility rate. Starvation and poverty have always existed, even when the population was considerably less. It is a result of bad distribution and economic policy. Babies are good. Seriously.
G0LizardGo 7 months ago
@G0LizardGo I'll take it for what it is.This is really an irrelevant conclusion anyways, the main point is that the video does NOT advocate killing oneself. The speaker simply enlightens the audience to the severe problem of the exponential function,regardless of current rates (being below or above) it's still exponential,so humanity is still growing at an alarming rate and will continue to do so. I suggest you actually watch the videos before making outrageously incorrect and irrational claims.
Chrispy0000 7 months ago
@G0LizardGo you obviously don't know much about geography, or atleast social geography, but basically all countries will keep growing until they reach the same spot as us and IS bad. They're going through fases we already went through, not only that, they're doing it faster then we did and we're giving them the space to do so (bet there are a billion reasons why they would do so). If the entire world would be full of industrialized countries with a need for energy what do you think will happen?

@superdarkmario2 lol you're right!!! I'm not talking out of a text book like most of you guys! I'm speaking from History researchers not teachers via government education. It would be impossible for every country to be industrialized... and not necessary. If every country provided for THEMSELVES and themselves only. Each would be stronger and less likely to be taken over by corrupt policies and UN affiliates.

@MrCleanandWhite Prof Bartlett started these lectures in 1969 when world population was approximately 3.5bn. Next year it is predicted to reach 7bn. So using your arithmetic it took 90,000 years to reach 3.5bn and only 42 years to double. I agree with you that's the power of exponential growth.

there is a old saying that a technology will soon become dead when it becomes maximized or too big. The last water wheels were the largest built but soon after the steam engine became the power. The last wooden bridges were the largest but soon became obsolete as people started using steel and iron.
The same thing is going with oil, we're trying to do more with oil and we keep on hitting dead ends. Lets face it, corporations want profit, NO ONE wants to change. But it will be swept aside!!!

@MrBigEnchilada Fossil fuel is not a "technology" though, it is a resource which makes much of our technology run at this time. Obsolete technology gets replaced usually by choice, while fossil fuel will be replaced by necessity. The problem is that those with vested interests in fossil fuel have deliberately slowed the development of viable alternatives for so long that a smooth transition to other energy sources is now unlikely.

Nice. You'd think a college level educator could figure out that he lives in a Republic, not a Democracy. An increase or decrease of the population of the United States has no impact on it's ability to govern.
Also, his use of the phrase "Sustainability" outs him as a supporter of mass population reduction as alluded to in the report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: "Our Common Future" published over twenty years ago. A startling read.

I like the presentation and simple math. Of course, he is right on many levels but his figures on ANWR are completely wrong and he doesn't take into account Bakken or other reserves. As price goes up, economically recoverable oil increases. In any case, this can't go on forever. As humans, we desperately need to find alternatives. In the meantime, we need to use what is currently available.

thevortek69 8 months ago
@catflab I'll admit I do not have a great attention span myself, but I watched at least 3 parts in a row before losing interest. For roughly 50% of viewers to stop watching after the first part, has to take an unimaginably small intellect which I do not have. I also notice there are many stupid and simplistic comments on the first part, yet a massive downslide in such type of comments as the views go down. I guess this is a good filter for intelligence.
