Is that why Facebook and Twitter are currently being touted as THE MOST IMPORTANT factors in the overthrow of the Egyptian government and the revolutions in Libya, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Tunisia, Iran, and other places? Peace happens?
All the stuff about MySpace being like a country, and how many visits it gets, would be a lot more "woo, scary" if MySpace hadn't completely tanked since this video was made. It's practically quaint. Nobody I know uses MySpace any more.
Shovelbum, if tanks have parts made in 16 countries and jet fighters have parts made in 30 countries, you'd better be going to war with sticks and rocks because you won't be using planes and tanks. You're living in the past, dude. Terrorism is what we need to be worried about.
If your going to war with terrorists you cant fight them face to face. Their objective is in their name, if your worried about them doing things to your towns cities and countries then they have achieved their goal.
ok, I'll bite. Name two major countries that can go to war without destroying their intertwined economies. Terrorism may increase, but not nations declaring war against each other.
I'll agree that most cannot, but within the next 20-30 years as oil becomes much more scarce, we will most likely go to war just to secure oil. And not just oil, but other resources as well that we export such as minerals.
@theripper88 Even with all the info on the internet you still haven't done enough research to find out that commerce is the source of wars. But you've highlighted a point. Which is that even if every human being had access to all the knowledge on earth through the internet... doesn't mean they'd be able to absorb it all or choose to. Having said that, it's worth you researching this because it's important and impacts us all. T'internet can tell you, just ask the right questions!!
this statement is nonsense and so is the equivalent statement in the movie. How on earth are we supposed to predict such a thing if you're not even able to predict the course of tomorrows Dow Jones Index?
I actually agree with him. Look at how much the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and not to mention all of our forward bases around the world have cost us. Iraq war alone is nearing 1 trillion dollars.
wars will end when they will not be economically feasible to do them. Increasing weapon power make them less profitable. That is why now we have not major wars, not to say that there are not horrible wars. But not as big as in the past. As simple as that.
Of course. When our economies are all intertwined and the people of the world consider it a natural "right" to live and work anywhere then war becomes incomprehensible. What we will be left with is pockets of social unrest from those who desire a radical change in the evolving world culture and their target will be the innocents.
@theripper88 You can't trust the powers! Why do they have power? Why do they have money? Because they are selfish snatchers. Your scary. I want the people of the world to unite, but if you think the selfish bastards are going to give up their piece of the pie then your plain wrong. Inequality suits the powerful and they have the power to sustain that state of inequality. Namely by telling you it's pockets of social unrest that are the source of the inequality in your life. I say BOLLOCKS!
Unless we have enough technology to move into a gift economy - where everything is valueless because of the abundance and free labor. Then you'll see no war, simply because there will be no way to profit from it in a gift economy and it won't benefit either side when all resources are shared... look up the zeitgeist movement to understand this concept if your interested.
a lot of these facts are wrong. in the real video Myspace would be the 5th largest country in between Brazil and Indonesia. google searches are now 37 billion per month
Wars have led to technological development because much of the peaceful tech development has been suppressed as the goal of governments is to keep people busy and not sniff around much. Systematical dumbing down and compartmentailization also works.
It is not a coincidence that we have less peace tech available than the ancients had.
The Military-Industrial Complex has more resources than most countries. As they do not cling to nations, what makes you think they do not agitate wars for profit?
Because we're people with the ability to have opinions. Large enough groups of these people with opposite opinions can't war. It goes against human nature.
Most of our technology has progressed exponatially at all times but the reason ppl are saying it now is because we have passed the point where every step is comming faster and faster that we can actually see them almost daily, right now we are actually held back a lot because of our consumerism, the technology and so on move faster than they can make, brand and sell the stuff that was before it
There are over 25 ethnic/religious groups in the USA with over 1 million members. China has at least 47 ethnic groups. It's possible. We have to work at it and be constantly vigilant that we don't create the atrocious disparities that lead to conflict.
I disagree with the wars. humans are the only animals that kill each other for no reason. How can we be so blinded as to think that wars will cease. As long as their are men ther are wars it may take 10 years or it may take 100 but i will put money on the fact that a war will break out. The competion for growth and technology will most likely be the starting blocks for a war. However having said that i dont think another world war will happen
So, with the population doubling within 50 years, you think we'll double the number of chickens, cows, pigs, turkey, etc...? I don't. All it's gonna take is a bad drought for a couple of years in the U.S. coupled with a natural disaster on the other side of the states to keep us from distributing food to "other" countries. Only a matter of time. Mother nature wins everytime.
Mother Nature never intended the upper Primates (including humans) to be slaughtering each other and maybe we can someday live with each other as peacefully as the Lowland Gorillas do.
Mass Starvation? In 2008 farmers harvested 86,000,000 acres of corn with 30,000 stalks in an acre. If planted in sweet corn there would be an average of 3 ears per stalk worth 270 calories. The harvest will yield 105,545 calories for every person in the world, a 53 day supply. Considering that maize (corn) represents only 26% of planted acres in the United States, we are far from running out of cropland if we truly wanted to feed the world.
Text messages will help the more rapid distribution of food stocks. We don't have global food shortages, we have huge surpluses. The problem is food distribution and technology - yes even text messages - will help distribution be more efficient.
I think that our race needs to get a grip on itself i mean if you think about it we have been fighting each other since the biggining of time and now since that technology is growing rapidly war will be more exreme and so it will rips us apart and so if we are all united into one goverment who will we fight?
Whether it's a one world government or a thousand governments makes no difference if we continue the incredible increase in communications without allowing government control. People do what is in their best interests and that means commerce, not destruction.
When the whole world is united in one government who will we fight?! I don't know about you but I'll be fighting the fucking government. Just like I don't truly believe that any one government has ever cared about it's people anymore than is necessary to look as if they care, I don't believe a one world government would give a shit about this world or it's people. The power structure of this world recognizes no borders already, how bad do you think it will be when there really is no borders?
How many wars has the European Union started? How many wars do you think their economic union, that intertwines the success of over 400 million people, prevented?
Communication will end all wars!!! Haha, not with power hungry humans. Technology may explode but most people are technology inept, most internet useage is probably not from that many unique users which there was no stat for.
Who's inept? Not our youth. It's the 60+ crowd that controls Congress. Each generation is exponentially wiser in the use of communications. freedomisfromtruth - the truth is, our youth are amazingly interconnected. How about this statistic: When a class ends, 50% of college students are contacting others on a cell by the time they get to the door! The truth will set us free all right, I wonder why you are laughing at the idea?
It's like, I always wondered how things would have been like to live through certain major events of the past...with the times we are living in now, I can only imagine the fascination my kids (when I have them)and my kids, kids will have with our time now, b/c we are living through some pretty amazing events today
Seems the idea is proposed that if everyone is connected with everyone else and all information is shared, then there will be peace. Not sure how that follows...
My hope is that the realization of human as an individual species will out weigh the idea of nationalism, and push for human expansion before any large scale destruction occurs to the human race. meaning rather than building tanks we will build rockets to other planets.
YES! thats exactly what i was thinking! If we dont find a way to unite our species soon, we will fall apart since our resources are running low and we will start fighting and struggling for them. I think if we are attacked by maybe another species we will be united against fighting them, or we find another habitable planet in which maybe start anew. Not technologically but new as in our ways and acts between each other.
this video does not take into account WW3, it is unavoidable and denying it is foolish. The future looks really really bad for humanity as of present. Be prepared to hear the phrase "new world order: over and over, its coming!
Americans are so smart that thousands of them paralyzed the entire economy, brought housing prices down to 1998 levels and AFTER doing that got the government to bail out the stupidest ones AND allow them to take multi-million dollar bonuses home with no strigs attached. In 1795 the French aristocracy tried it and the citizens butchered them as they deserved.Here they get rewarded, THATS HOW SMART AMERICANS ARE!!!
I think we're in for two or three more major, global conflicts, over the course of the next two centuries before this world finally comes together as one.
This whole video has been about the exponential function and yet you seem to miss the underlying point of this. That is all growth no matter how small its beginning compounding, is UNSUSTAINABLE. By the way war will happen and the rich will win. its not about religion or culture anymore, its about rich and poor because that is the basis of how we judge people today, the richer the person the more we are in awe of them, and the more poor the more "worth" less.
i agree with you, and i think it's time the world got a grip on itself and starts being rational and stops being so damn divided! we need to work as one if we want to get out of this crap we got ourselves into!
No offense taken. Both my title and description refer to the original.
This is an update. Here's the latest: There are now 4.1 billion cell phone subscriptions worldwide, implying that even with the double counting, we probably have 3 billion people with phones that technically could connect them with any of the other 3 billion subscribers.
I disagree with this, more communication and internationalism will not end war, moreover there'll probably be a backlash which will lead to extreme nationalism.
ok if u look on other vids its 200 million on myspace and si the 5th largest country, and there is gonna be more wars cause of oil consumptions and other countries will fight for stuff that is going to run out
Wars aren't usually caused by honest misunderstandings. They are caused by conflicting ideologies, historic grievances, and limited resources. Would better communication have prevented World War II? I don't see how.
You misunderstood the video. It's not about communication, it's about interconnectedness. The more intertwined the people and the economy the harder it is to start an armed conflict.
The American colonists and their economy were intertwined with that of Britain. Nevertheless, we had the Revolution. Similarly, the American people were intertwined by marriage, religion, trade, and custom our Civil War broke out.
It's March 1, 2009 and we're in one of our greatest economic crises, the type that usually leads to war in the past. Let's touch base a year from now and see who's right. Will our interconnectedness prevent a war? You better hope I am right, for the sake of all of us.
I'm happy you have found something that makes you blissful. But consider this: How many countries could grandpa travel to without some possibility of danger back in the 50s. What about in the 70's? Consider your travel options today. The world has become dramatically safer. Cheers!
Communication does not bring peace..it never has and never will. I guess some people just don't recognize that the strong will take from the weak for as long as people exist...Communication has nothing to do with it!
Just because there is interconnection doesn't mean there is understanding. Moreover, interconnection doesn't eliminate greed which is what drives man into the pits of hell called war.
by the way if we conserve in ot wat is needed, there will still be"end" to ou race cause teh population is always growing and tech. is advancing and we will have to face the fact that human race will always die no matte rwa, then we realize.......... shift happens.
No. its not just mere interconnectedness. It is also centralization. Centralization of power, wealth, greed, knowledge, etc. You have stumbled across one of the most important concepts in science...THE EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION... yet you have missed the main point of it. when the growth rate is speeding up like it is now... you know the peak and then the eventual cataclysmic collapse is near.
I hope you are wrong and I hope you hope you are wrong in your prediction. However, we do have a problem with the distribution of wealth, don't we. How can we fix that?
There is only one way to beat the system. It is to liberate not just your self but your community from dependency on the government. First, your community must grow it own food, have it's own source of electricity, and public(not private) access to water. The resonating word of the 21st century in economics is not recession or depression but rather INFLATION! As we will soon come to know, capitalism is doomed in an energy starved world. Tip - study how money is created.
you cannot fix a system that has an inherent flaw in its design. You must redesign the system. However it is difficult to get people to understand the monetary system if the survival of the system depends on them not understanding it. e.g. how can you tell people that less 5% of the total money actually exits in circulation, and only a fraction of that is real cash and coins. If only 1% of the money in banks are withdrawn then they collapse. That's why you had the guarantees early last year.
Thanks 4 making that point. Humans haven't yet grasped materiality's simplest connection: cause & effect. Most people believe their thoughts, words, & actions are of little or no consequence to their life experience. YouTube & MySpace prove this. The hope that technology will save mankind from itself is called modernism. WW1&2 debunked that. The Answer has been seemingly discredited by history & the intelligentsia, but when the it hits the fan, folks are going to come running to Jesus for help.
This ship is going down, so some spiritual anchor is going down with the ship. In a storm you best know that your foundation is true. Not a philosophy, not a religion, not a belief, but an intimate knowledge of and relation with the One Whose very Name means "Rescue." All the rest is theory. Put Him to the test, and ask Him to make Himself known. If you are willing to see or hear, you will.
Your religion only helps to create conflict between people. (Don't get me wrong, it's not just your religion, it's ALL RELIGION). But no, in response to your little Jesus comment, no I won't be running to Jesus looking for or calling for help, because Jesus is a fucking fairy tale. You don't hear too many people praying to Zeus or Hera much now do you? No you don't, and it's cuz people realized that it was bullshit, why can't we take another step forward and realize ALL RELIGION IS FALSE.
And so what? They text message how to rape and steal or trigger a bomb. Hunger is killing millions and big shots can opress and exploit us on a larger and faster scale.
The idea is that there will be a shift, and what you speak of will be affected by the exponential nature of our technology. Who controls these shifts is what is at the heart of the presentation: this is a war of intellects, and we must train our children to take advantage of the shift. With a proper upbringing, perhaps they could make something good happen.
I rekon that were aliens to attack earth there is every chance that we have equal or greater military powers. Who can know, maybe humans are the only race in the entire galaxy that feel anger? You can never tell until it happens o.o
well there are many races, (I believe and feel this very well to be true) and some of these races, their entire existence is based on conquering other planets and races and others, their existence is based on helping and nurturing others. we can see this in the government and heads of corporations and banks and freemansonry ("bad" aliens), and we can see it in spiritual practice and crop circles (the "good" aliens).
so this might sound confusing to you because you think of aliens as just a physical thing, but these beings are much more than just physical, they have the ability to use most of their brains and they have transcended matter and alot of them actually do not need to be a part of this 3 dimensional reality anymore.
and i suppose as well that there are only 2 strands of dna in our bodies, as early science proves? and the other 10 strands are "junk dna"?
i would love to leave that as proof enough but im sorry my friend, they are lying to us, they dont want us to expand our minds, all they (the people in charge n this world) want us to do is work for the system and keep us dumb.
um, we as in who? Nasa? a corporation? are you going to sit there and believe for one second that a corporation is in it's best interest to keep us informed on the truth?
Sgt Clifford Stone from the US Army said the USA had come across 57 species of aliens. Dr. John Mac chronicled the experiences of many abductees by "greys" and Billy Meier has thousands of pages of contact notes regarding his interaction with the Pleiadians and others from Dal. That's at least 3 races there, to say there aren't any species we know of is false. The data is there for those who want to search for it.
We have aliens recorded in our history as far back as 10,000 years ago, possibly even older. If aliens were going to attack us then they would have done it 10,000 years ago. Why would they wait until we had more advanced technology to finally take over?
they aren't supposed to interfere with our evolution. i believe the good aliens (plaedians etc.) are here to help us, though, on a deeper level like crop circles, channeling, good abductions, etc., and the bad ones thru government and bad abductions. but when 2012 comes along, i believe they will finally show themselves. they already have thru other means, but the sightings are becoming more and more all the time as well as crop circles and people awakening.
i very much doubt war will entirely end. there will always be dissenters, and people who think differently. if one of these,, like hitler comes 20 years after everyone thinks war is over, it would be disastrous.
running out of oil and other natural resources is going to be decisive. if we don't get over it and don't look for new ways of drawing from the sun, we're dead.
That is why we, in the future, will redefine what "Human" is. Those that make war, will no longer be accepted as such, but will be the animals that the enlightened always knew they were.
I find it quite odd that some1 marked my comments with a thumbs down. im not some1 who likes war, im just saying that i seriously doubt man will ever achieve world peace and be friendly with all its inhabitants. war will never end no matter which way it is fought. and humans arent the only species that wage wars. animals do it too. not for the same reasons, but they still do. im not saying its justified but war will never come to an end
And if we were having this conversation even just 50 years ago the "truths" about humanity and its abilities would be different than what we assume is the "truth" today. Slavery is generally condemned as bad, but far enough in human evolution it was thought of as humane, because the common thing was death to an entire people. Peace is possible-humanity is evolving - that is what it is all about-getting better.
Not a good thing because its over indulgence to the planet and space! Someone has to curb their sex drives to a limit and be responsible to the planets resources...Its hard enough trying to take care of what we've all got...Screwing like rabbits is as irresponsible as an animal! Come on people, we have more brains then that! China and India need to use CONDOMS!!!
You got that backwards sammyboi. My video has been around since May, the "Latest Edition" was uploaded on November 7th, and it's from a commercial spammer.
this doesn't make me scared it makes me happy. we need peace and understanding between nations. then we can work on making this world a better place, together.
A state of open, armed, often prolonged conflict carried on between nations, states, or parties.
That is a quote from my dictionary. as you said "war will never end whether we like it or not HAHA" well i doubt that spider lions and zebras can be armed or be in a nation...
well it's known that light speed travel is a ridiculous concept when you can just go from a to b instantly...but this aint the point I'm trying to make lol...the point I'm trying to make is how can anyone think that if aliens came down to conquer us that we would have any chance in beating them??? obviusly they have technology that is way far advanced than us, being proven by the simple fact that they got here and we can't even see them out there! (apparently)
naw, they could just be trying to expand, maybe they came from mars and can somehow travel through space, and burning hot atmospheres, and fly, and oh whatever
haha, ya anything is possible...i have heard from various sources that there are multiple space stations on mars and many other planets in our solar systems, and this would only mean extraterrestrial in origin...
Oh, I see, with technology, peace will happen.
Is that why Facebook and Twitter are currently being touted as THE MOST IMPORTANT factors in the overthrow of the Egyptian government and the revolutions in Libya, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Tunisia, Iran, and other places? Peace happens?

I think that our race needs to get a grip on itself i mean if you think about it we have been fighting each other since the biggining of time and now since that technology is growing rapidly war will be more exreme and so it will rips us apart and so if we are all united into one goverment who will we fight?

Whether it's a one world government or a thousand governments makes no difference if we continue the incredible increase in communications without allowing government control. People do what is in their best interests and that means commerce, not destruction.

The power structure of this world recognizes no borders already, how bad do you think it will be when there really is no borders?

Who's inept? Not our youth. It's the 60+ crowd that controls Congress. Each generation is exponentially wiser in the use of communications. freedomisfromtruth - the truth is, our youth are amazingly interconnected. How about this statistic: When a class ends, 50% of college students are contacting others on a cell by the time they get to the door!

YES! thats exactly what i was thinking! If we dont find a way to unite our species soon, we will fall apart since our resources are running low and we will start fighting and struggling for them. I think if we are attacked by maybe another species we will be united against fighting them, or we find another habitable planet in which maybe start anew. Not technologically but new as in our ways and acts between each other.

This whole video has been about the exponential function and yet you seem to miss the underlying point of this. That is all growth no matter how small its beginning compounding, is UNSUSTAINABLE. By the way war will happen and the rich will win. its not about religion or culture anymore, its about rich and poor because that is the basis of how we judge people today, the richer the person the more we are in awe of them, and the more poor the more "worth" less.

No. its not just mere interconnectedness. It is also centralization. Centralization of power, wealth, greed, knowledge, etc. You have stumbled across one of the most important concepts in science...THE EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION... yet you have missed the main point of it. when the growth rate is speeding up like it is now... you know the peak and then the eventual cataclysmic collapse is near.
dakusahab 2 years ago
I hope you are wrong and I hope you hope you are wrong in your prediction. However, we do have a problem with the distribution of wealth, don't we. How can we fix that?
theripper88 2 years ago
There is only one way to beat the system. It is to liberate not just your self but your community from dependency on the government. First, your community must grow it own food, have it's own source of electricity, and public(not private) access to water. The resonating word of the 21st century in economics is not recession or depression but rather INFLATION! As we will soon come to know, capitalism is doomed in an energy starved world. Tip - study how money is created.
dakusahab 2 years ago
you cannot fix a system that has an inherent flaw in its design. You must redesign the system. However it is difficult to get people to understand the monetary system if the survival of the system depends on them not understanding it. e.g. how can you tell people that less 5% of the total money actually exits in circulation, and only a fraction of that is real cash and coins. If only 1% of the money in banks are withdrawn then they collapse. That's why you had the guarantees early last year.

Thanks 4 making that point. Humans haven't yet grasped materiality's simplest connection: cause & effect. Most people believe their thoughts, words, & actions are of little or no consequence to their life experience. YouTube & MySpace prove this. The hope that technology will save mankind from itself is called modernism. WW1&2 debunked that. The Answer has been seemingly discredited by history & the intelligentsia, but when the it hits the fan, folks are going to come running to Jesus for help.

This ship is going down, so some spiritual anchor is going down with the ship. In a storm you best know that your foundation is true. Not a philosophy, not a religion, not a belief, but an intimate knowledge of and relation with the One Whose very Name means "Rescue." All the rest is theory. Put Him to the test, and ask Him to make Himself known. If you are willing to see or hear, you will.
xerosisonek 2 years ago
Your religion only helps to create conflict between people. (Don't get me wrong, it's not just your religion, it's ALL RELIGION). But no, in response to your little Jesus comment, no I won't be running to Jesus looking for or calling for help, because Jesus is a fucking fairy tale. You don't hear too many people praying to Zeus or Hera much now do you? No you don't, and it's cuz people realized that it was bullshit, why can't we take another step forward and realize ALL RELIGION IS FALSE.

The idea is that there will be a shift, and what you speak of will be affected by the exponential nature of our technology.

With a proper upbringing, perhaps they could make something good happen.

well there are many races, (I believe and feel this very well to be true) and some of these races, their entire existence is based on conquering other planets and races and others, their existence is based on helping and nurturing others. we can see this in the government and heads of corporations and banks and freemansonry ("bad" aliens), and we can see it in spiritual practice and crop circles (the "good" aliens).
rickiedee 3 years ago
so this might sound confusing to you because you think of aliens as just a physical thing, but these beings are much more than just physical, they have the ability to use most of their brains and they have transcended matter and alot of them actually do not need to be a part of this 3 dimensional reality anymore.

Sgt Clifford Stone from the US Army said the USA had come across 57 species of aliens. Dr. John Mac chronicled the experiences of many abductees by "greys" and Billy Meier has thousands of pages of contact notes regarding his interaction with the Pleiadians and others from Dal. That's at least 3 races there, to say there aren't any species we know of is false. The data is there for those who want to search for it.

We have aliens recorded in our history as far back as 10,000 years ago, possibly even older. If aliens were going to attack us then they would have done it 10,000 years ago. Why would they wait until we had more advanced technology to finally take over?
xymotic 3 years ago
they aren't supposed to interfere with our evolution. i believe the good aliens (plaedians etc.) are here to help us, though, on a deeper level like crop circles, channeling, good abductions, etc., and the bad ones thru government and bad abductions. but when 2012 comes along, i believe they will finally show themselves. they already have thru other means, but the sightings are becoming more and more all the time as well as crop circles and people awakening.

And if we were having this conversation even just 50 years ago the "truths" about humanity and its abilities would be different than what we assume is the "truth" today. Slavery is generally condemned as bad, but far enough in human evolution it was thought of as humane, because the common thing was death to an entire people. Peace is possible-humanity is evolving - that is what it is all about-getting better.
