Well for a start humanity is not 10,000 years old, or 100,000 years old. Humanity is 20, or 30 or 80 years old. every generation, in fact every individual has to start from scratch. Hence mistakes being repeated.
@paddymourinho Well, we do not start exactly from scratch, we have the choice )at variable levels) to learn from past mistakes of others, and we do. We just need to work a lot more on that bit.
@skippydeenice Its still gonna take me 1 or 2 years, but I hope to offer a good case against that notion. I know its seems this way now, but it is a very recent crisis of our behavior compared to our entire course. give me some time :)
I'm afraid that war economy is a driving force in innovation. The need to out do the enemy, especially post 1918, 1945 and the Cold War, have led humanity to it's greatest inventions and endeavours such as Landing on the moon and Nuclear power. I'm not condoning wars but it's a paradox that our greatest feats come out of violent competition...
@teevanator Yes, but that is an intricate phenomenon, influenced mainly by the way investments and budgets work after the 19th Century as well as the perceived hierarchy of needs that follows with war. You can see today that the Webb telescope might be left without funding but War gets the doh even during crisis. Thats because you can not get all people to be interested in space exploration, but you can get most of them to be afraid of some realistic or non realistic threat. We can do better.
@ONESPECIES That may be true, but you cannot deny that some of the most important inventions have come from War. What would replace War economy? How would an incentive scheme be put in place to force Governments to increase funding to these projects? Sadly, I just don't see our current systems being able to cope with that. I know it's perverse, but the greater the struggle, the greater the output values.
@teevanator I do not deny what wars offer to knowledge, I deny that humanity, the environment and a sustainable economy can afford to use this insane way any further. The obvious answer is a resource based economy, the replacement of growth factors by happiness, education and progress factors, and the death of drop dead consumerism. Once that is established in big western nations, it will overrule other issues. How to get there though, is a huge debate all humans need to participate into.
@ONESPECIES I hope you're talking about Venus Project RBE , not crackpot Zeitgeist RBE. Peter Joseph stole all his economic ideas from the Venus project and I don't respect him or trust him. Jaques Fresco appeals to me much more as Honest, Creative and Sincere. Indeed it is a big debate as to how to achieve that. In time...
@teevanator I am not speaking for any of them. I am speaking out of reconsidering the human condition for years. Money based societies had meaning when people were fewer, when survival and goods were still hard to get, when trading was the only possible way of exchange. It does not take a genius to see that a society that would have a sustainable civilization on Earth for centuries to come can not be based on a bronze age system. If we do not discuss this as a species, it will keep destroying us
@ONESPECIES I really really do wonder how innovation, creativity or even life in general would fair in an RBE world though. The baseline seems to be "give the most efficient (rough translation=bare minimum) to everyone" So what, I have no prospects? No career? No chance to progress upwards? Where are my incentives to contribute to humanity, even? I can sit back and take unlimited free lunches, lounging around till I die. I think capitalism just needs fixing, abolish coporations etc
@teevanator Thats why we need about 50 years of talking before we even start implementing. But do not worry too much about incentive. And the free meals will not be endless. Besides, as I said I am not talking about a Utopia where machines do everything. Thats unfeasible. The mind will always run faster than the tool. Prehistoric societies had ingenious ways to share tasks and resources. What does not seem possible to you is because of perspective. Do not think Centralized, think local.
@ONESPECIES Well I hope you're right, your arguments stand up to a reasonable amount of probing so I think I'm gonna subscribe ;) look forward to your next videos
@teevanator The question is, can we create such climates in modern time, but without the war itself (like an EMP without the explosion)? I'd be interested in deducing the main causes leading to the scientific progress. Is it a matter of mentality, more resources, prestige, the government promoting science, creating competition between several camps (like a bet)? For the latter example: in physics, you have Fermilab against LHC (started after WW2).
@avdmeers Ah, you gave me an interesting thought there. Would it be possible to become so technologically advanced that we cannot physically engage in War? That our preventative measures far outdo our agressive ones? Like inventing a charge to deactivate Nuclear Weapons or such like.
I'm still not sure how Science can be incentivised though, any ideas?
@teevanator If humans want to kill each other, they can do it with their hands tied around the back. Kill the need to kill, and the nukes will follow. I know it does not sound appealing, but do not let the gadgets fool you. Tools can only facilitate a willful decision. No decision no function. If electricity, books, democracy, the internet or WWII did not end the will to do war, then its the will itself that needs to go. On all levels.
@ONESPECIES Aren't killing the urge to kill and killing the ability to kill essentially two sides of the same coin? Outcome is the same, methods different. How can you sucessfully bring about a mass change in human conscience when Humanity is clearly quite brutal and unforgiving? I say given Moore's law it can't be long before we can eliminate the ability to wage wars. Changing decisions is so so much harder than negating their effect. It almost requires mind control.
"It is time for Man to make a new appraisal of himself," wrote Philip Wylie 70 years ago. I'd say it's long past time, now... Subscribed for a while to see what appraisal you make of Man, his achievements, faults, and prospects...
@ennuiandthensome I make a lot of my assets in Photoshop, 3d max etc, and then I put them together as animation in After Effects. Not a lot of presets really. Almost all the work is manual.
@ennuiandthensome Its not just editing, so I do not use an editing program at all. 3d, Image processing and compositing/animation, 3d max, Photoshop, After Effects respectively.
Anyone interested in the cultural evolution of design might like to look up Niles Eldredge's work on the evolution of cornets (the musical instruments, not ice-cream cones!). It's very interesting.
I think the issue is the notion that we HAVE dual natures. We don't, we have one nature with multiple facets...many more than just two. Conscious choice is certainly involved to a certain extent, but the brain's overall format is configured in a very specific way. We can't "cut out" or ignore the parts we claim we don't like. We have to learn to embrace and direct them in more useful ways. Violence cannot ever be eliminated, but it can be redirected, refined, and reduced.
A better question: How can we survive with our dual natures? Separating them seems short-sighted, though peaceful co-existence is a laudable goal in it's own right. Even our latent racism has it's uses, despite it's universally negative consequences. In short, I don't think peace is an answer, just a very good tactic.
@TimothyStuartRiches I agree with your Remarks. I hope to help in answering the question you posed in future videos. This was the warm up. All things have a use once their appropriate position and dosage is achieved. That seems to be the trickiest part. I appreciate the feedback!
@TimothyStuartRiches The point that he's making is that we've already seen the consequences of things like ethnic cleansing, racism, etc., and it's about time that we stopped repeating the same mistakes over and over and actually learned from then. You can learn by making new mistakes, but not by repeating the same old ones time and time again.
i truly believe that over the next century, the easy way or the hard way, we will chose the good part. There is just to much at stake for humanity to chose the other.
@Trickycandyfloss Thanks a lot!! That is most encouraging. Tonight I am roasting intelligent design a bit, with a probably original argument (when the upload is over). And within the week another video more like this one will be up. Thnx again, and share it around if you can! :)
