WorldSim Preview

[bryguy95]

The best (only) way to gain and maintain power throughout history has been to massacre or remove from power the ruling class, and then create a new one by giving it a large portion of the old one's influence/resources. Also, use a small portion of those resources to bribe the masses.

If you are not willing or able to do this you will be replaced by those who are. The media and networking revolution has simply forced those in power to be more creative and technical, but the ends remain the same.

[666fruitfly]

this simulation is also designed to have students compress great power world events into conceptual units which are simple and elegant,

it's a brilliant way to teach about empire, conquest, and the great game of power,

[666fruitfly]

the whole point of a simulation is to assess performance and adjust what doesn't work,

my solution is to make every kid live abroad for a year,

world fucking peace overnight!

it's not rocket science,

it's a matter of imagination and will,

[saltytheseadog]

I'm afraid if kids can't get it right in a simulation, then they will not be able to do it in reality. the other bothersome thing was that in another video on this site, it was found that kids look for administrative solutions to problems, not creative or critical ways of solving problems. I'm afraid of the future. It will be more of the same, until we cease to exist

balance and focus

[magicprofesur]

there is a balance on everything and with balance their comes opposite

and if there is an opposite then they're is another side of this wonderous planet we are depleting but why show the bad parts of it

enjoy whats left, we must accept it, live with what we have created, and love it for its all thats left

there their they're

Lord God have mercy and heal our lands!!!

[wolverineeeeeeeee]

really? we will have to see and wait wont we. But hey i would be surprised if the us would use nukes again unless israel does it for them..

[wolverineeeeeeeee]

we will nuke ourselfs outof excistence: well it will start in Pakistan india or Israel probably..to much men and not enough women.

[jebustheone]

The US will nuke IRAN within the next two years. I promise this is true. You will see.

[wolverineeeeeeeee]

not if obama is president..

[jebustheone]

Then why didn't he say that a nuclear first strike was off the cards if gets the pres? Think about it.

[DrNate89]

Yeah, then it will be Pakistan. (watch the 1st presidential debate again, I realize you posted that before the debates)

[flamingmunki9]

Keep pressing undo until i was satisfied xP

[bekabunnie]

i wish there was something like that here in the DFW area, i'd totally do it!! i don't think it's thought about that much by people in my generation ... the fact that someday we will be responsible for running the world. but i guess the boomers didnt think about it much when they were in their early 20s either!!! kudos on the videos... im absolutly subscribed!!!

[nucleartwon]

the song is probably made in garageband. Cause Mwesch is a very geeky person.

[JJP5507]

whats your point?

[CaptainBluePeter]

Franchement, ou vous voulez en vennir avec des pubs comme ça?

On reparlera!

[Shadow69cro]

What music is this? I must have it. Links or band/song name info would be appreciated.

[roboselvek]

yeah I too

[laughmeasmile]

gosh! i am in awe!

you are amazing!

[katanaking007]

If you control the world the wisest course of action is to give it up.

[0neironaut]

im sorry but that music was definitely too epic for its visual.

[Siliven]

What is it with you people and racism? Everything and ANYTHING is racism to some people! GEEZ!

[photofu]

i'd let the people be and not manipulate them?

[virtualrocko]

hmm appeasement... sounds like a good... oh wait, wasn't there that one country with the guy with the funny beard?

[lokken10]

this vid has nothing about racism

but i enjoyed this vid like the others vids of mwesh

[bgarzam]

Darn! I wish my classes were as interesting as yours. sigh. A study within a study within a study. Darn interesting!

All whites? LOL My delegation would have been ALL women and no trading would happen unless there was a woman leader. LOL

[thepoasm]

Dr. Wesch I have to say every time I watch these videos i nearly cry, I think we have been so successful using the world simulation!

[nikkih86]

Fall 2004 World Simulation was the greatest!  Go Cobras!!!

***and about the whole "only white people" thing - it's called KSU, HELLO!***

[WonOnOne]

Kansas? I don't wanna be taught intelligent design. :(

[tdous]

@jamesgray78 and anyone else who thinks that shooting a video in a class that only contains white students makes that video racist and the director responsible for an unfortunate colonial history... are you insane?! I'd suggest that the fact you noticed is more interesting...

Since the only person in the room here at the moment is me, and I'm "white", is this a racist room? I hope not. I like the carpet.

[DarkDevaztation]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA thats the most hilarious thing ive heard in a looooong time. thanks dude. I like the carpet too.

[Bradyfan027]

@tdous That guy is only angry because he and every other black person on this Earth doesn't know what education is..

[night26]

funny how all of the students are white...

[jacek4k]

cause all the blacks are shooting a new hiphop video, and didn't want to be bothered :)

[snowboarderdude123]

wish i could participate

[medic007]

crud...shame I'm a science major =) looks like it would be a very interesting major! Love the stuff you're putting out here for all of us to expand on.

[jamesgray78]

I did this program when I was in high school - very informative.

However, I've got a problem with a video showing a room full of completely white people simulating running the world. Ah, colonialism.

[J360Thunder]

They're just people, aren't they? Doesn't matter if they're white does it?

[mee8230]

Do you propose that we go to the various places represented by this made up simulation and actually extract people from those cultures in order to put them in a gym in kansas?

[bohemianRIOT]

It's Kansas State..shit, it's Kansas. As someone that came to KSU for college, I can vouch for the fact that the whole state doesn't really have much of a variety in the race department. It's a bummer that there's not a lot of culture, but oh well..that's what I get for coming to Kansas.

[fatty4ksu]

There is plenty of culture here, douche.

[Nabs101]

awsome!

[hazel14014]

love the music.

[satisfacter]

like this, make me think

nice music btw

[wytbyt]

The entire program sounds interesting!

[TommiL123]
