Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
I was 14 minutes in, and about to dismiss Hans's prediction entirely on the basis that world shifts like this simply don't happen peacefully and predictably, but then I reached 14:15 and Hans mentions war. Realistically, it may not be a war like any type we've seen before in terms of scale or actions taken, there may just be regional violence unrelated to government backed armies (maybe terrorist, but of different demographics/backgrounds) but there will be violence.
Asia would have been on the top throughout if it hadn't been raped by the west for 300 years. Anyway forget vindiction...we are pacifists. Get the hell out of the Middle East though...because I assure you we will be trying you guys for the war crimes you continue to commit
natural resources in china is too poor to support such growth. the world is only so big, just like a pizaa, only have finite number of slices. if uncle sam already took most of it, china doesnt have much left.
@billyboy8888 which is precisely why china is developing long-term strategic relationships with countries in africa, south america, and eslewhere in asia to secure those resources. they have already spent billions on infrastructure investments in africa in exchange for mineral rights, and are making agricultural deals with brazil and argentina. china is not stupid. no country can grow on its own.
@Putaspellonyou I was gonna say the precise same thing the chinese are thinkin far ahead. you think you thought of somthing that a BILLION chinese havent figured out you know. very well said
@imjsutthatguy and if africa and south american states can play their cards right, they can gain much from the relationship. traditional core/periphery relationships usually do not go well for the smaller, more developing nations. but where the european powers left essentially nothing when they left aside from mirror images of their own structual institutions, china is building universities, hospitals, water systems, rail lines that may foster furhter growth and development
Yes, India was deindustrialized by the imperialists...... So, why do the globalists/NWO want to deindustrialize the west now and send our industries to countries who have no antipollution laws!?
Seems like we (the west) are being deindustrialized by traitors and imperialists in the same way today. We should fight back just like they did in India!!
@clarkcolt45 in a free market society, capital is mobile. the cheapest extraction, the cheapest manufacturing, the cheapest labor will always be sought out. no amount of bitching is going to change that...
@clarkcolt45 Karma really. Forced unfair trade practices through use of the military in the past and now paying for it by Asian giants beating the west at its own game. Lol. Obama's moving the navy to Asia? Is he a moron?
But is he is obviously sucking up to his Indian Audience.
India WILL NOT reach the GDP per capita of the US or the UK by 2048. Nor will it do so by 2078.
And I am willing to bet 100,000 USD on the 2048 prediction (so anybody interested - let me know).
The reasons are plenty, but mainly it's because of their population growth, and the inability of our planet to sustain 4 billion people living in the level of the USA.
@shmudi1 but do not forget that has nation's develop, their popoulation levels off and in fact begins to decline, as is happening in northern europe and would be in the u.s. were it not for immigration. india's industrial development is just getting started, and lots of people means a large labor force. and who says the model for development is for everyone to be like the U.S. that WOULD BE wholly unsustainable. i think, or hope, the rest of the world has more reasonable expectations.

@omegavalerius Back when I was studying in Delhi, my fellow countrymen would stuff themselves with fastfood, spend their parent's hard earned cash on 'western' clothing and engage in petty disputes, all the while criticizing the west for lacking morals and being corrupt. The worst part is that these same idiots are the ones going abroad, which doesn't help India's reputation. Truth to be told though, I've never lived long abroad, so I don't know whether they improve their behavior eventually.
China's GDP/capita went negative during the 1800's (Opium Wars period) because China was invaded by Europeans and Japan. Even their Imperial Palace was looted. France recently sold a Chinese sculpture (looted from China) at Christie's auction. This cause an uproar in the Chinese community around the world. The Japanese and UK looted the most and now they're talking human rights. What a joke.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but he didnt mention that the income per person graph is based on purchasing power parity (PPP), which it should be as only then it is possible for the countries mentioned to come at the level in 2048.
WHERE IS THE NEW INSIGHT ??? DID I LEARN ANYTHING...NOOO..
AND COMPARING GNP PPP IS NOT THAT GOOD. the purching power is still low outside the country....and comparing china and japan is totally different.
You live to 79years in china, 82 in sweden...but 10 times more die before reaching 5 years old in china...so THIS STUPID OLD MAN have to look at other data..he is just a troller
@bergslag. Well, both nations are going to be developing their domestic economics. For that reason, PPP is quite important. In addition, China's nominal GDP is around $5.7 trillion, while India is around $1.5 trillion. I've read on various news sources that avg GDP growth in the next decade will be around 9-10%, for both, if not more. Now include an inflation of 3% and we're talking about doubling in 6 years at worst. What does that mean?
The first world becoming the third world thanks to evil people like this, taking the money they made selling smack to China, and using it to move every company to there since 1858. He's a nerd alright, not a study nerd though. I read the texts 3 or 4 times. What did he study, social engineering or green science ? Move all the companies to India and China where the same people as before can dominate the whole world with frontmen like this.
@whatzupa. If the companies didn't move to China and India, you'd just see competitors arise over there. You need to understand that Japan was once similar to those nations. Indigenous corporations rose and thoroughly destroyed American competitors. You can include Germany in that category after WWII, because it is clear that US corporations are trying to stifle indigenous growth. It's going to be scary when China and India unravels.
@exaro. Malthus said this centuries ago. Keep in mind that the United States management of resources isn't what most in Europe would call first world. After all, those in US perform worse in nearly every socio-economic indicator than most European nations. In other words, per capita consumption in China needs to start resembling Japan. Keep in mind that one American probably consumes the equivalent of around 4 or more Japanese individuals.
50 is a stretch, overly optimistic. 100-150 years....that, I can see happening.
If you go visit China now, its hardly recognizable compared to 10 years ago. However, the villages are still dirt poor, only the cities have dramatically changed. The rich get richer and the poor stay poor. Corruption is rampant; drawbacks of autocracy. It will inevitably be harder and harder to please both the rich and poor. Nevertheless, autocracy is a lot more efficient than democracy.
In China, most education is: YOU GET THE HIGHEST MARK you WIN. Nothing is done for the education except that. At school, people learn so few things about how to be a nice person, citizen, etc. Children goes through a road like wild beasts etc. Moreover, I think they have HIGH SCORES, low SKILLS. It's just like some of the top 10 students at Chinese baccalaureat. They were expelled back after an interview by the University of Hong Kong.
This is kinda ridiculous, the average loan will not be catched in first 100 year, the scale is logaritmic, first part 400-4000 ok but 4000-40000 will not go like that, poor statistics actually
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Indians has low average IQ, India have a population that keeps growing while natural resources, raw materials, the land etc are limited. For India to become one of the largest economies in the world and have a great influence YES. For each Indian to live under prosperity=> Maybe NEVER. India should have enjoyed British domination like Hong Kong. Why isn't India far in front of China that started REAL developement under Deng? They had more than 35 years!!
@LChinese1991 Dude the poorest parts of India are the once Britain had ruled the most years like Bengal. In no way shape or form should India "enjoyed British domination". Should China have enjoyed colonial powers and including American completely taking over Chinas market in the 1800s? India started its economic reforms with PM Singh in the 90s and China with Deng Xiaoping in the early 80s.
lol if you take all average Indians and Chinese I'm sure that you won't find a lot of them that study hard as hell. I know a lot of them that are lazy for studies even if they're poor. I can't believe that people are already satisfied with that level of life. If there are 1/1000 students that study hard: how many population do those countries have? Those countries will have massive students divided by sections. You don't know real life of an AVERAGE person!!!
@LChinese1991 As an example, Chinese student learn things in maths 2-3 years ahead of UK students for high school level. Even if you are an average Chinese student with average marks in maths, they technically are ahead of the average student in the UK.
and that is why, those who master the chinese language and chinese studies .. will succeed far greater than those who not! Forget French, Spanish. These are languages of the past for those who want to live in a flat world. you must know mandarin, know there customs. if they can't communicate with you, you COMMUNICATE with them. thats your in!
The Bible deals with no lands beyond Spain, which in itself is only mentioned in passing. The bible only makes as many predictions as our minds infer.
As I've said, matriculation is a tool of capitalism. That's why you see highly educated engineers slogging for high school dropouts cum entrepreneurs.
so it is just a matter of time if we do not have ww3. water and money falls from higher place to lower place. Now young people have to study Chinese and Indian laguage if they want to successful in their business.
I like the egoism and competition of capitalism. But I do not like its resultant anti-intellectualism where businessmen are judged on how well they pander to the needs of the populous. We should prize quality, not quantity.
Great video! Had the US and Britain had a policy of free-trade rather than coercive imperialism, China and India would probably already be up their with us!
@cheeseit126 Bush and Bill O went to Harvard. What more education do you need? But by education, you're referring to something out of matriculation, I apologize. But I highly doubt so.
I agree. Another poster suggested Bush went to Harvard, and I was attempting to clarify that fact, but I aimed my reply at you by accident. My bad. Although I see now that he did get his MBA at Harvard, for what it's worth.
wow ad hominem. It doesnt matter who i post as my source, it doesnt matter if you like him or not. What matters is his argument. And those you must prove wrong, but i agree most people dont want healthcare to change because it is best in america. Doctors also earn the most in america. There is a problem with law system and too much suing which costs a lot but thats a different story
@cheeseit126 Try telling Americans that. Which country has the most nobel prize laureates? Look at the top 10 cities with the highest GDP. Which country dominates that list? Heard of McDonald's, Michael Jackson? If you have a rare form of cancer, which is the country you should go to for treatment?
What's wrong with being entitled to what you pay and work for? You mean the billionaires of America are chosen randomly? And for your information, George Bush is a Harvard alumnus.
What's wrong with being entitled to what you pay and work for?
Absolutely nothing, this is as it should be; however, within our culture theyre is a growing sentiment of self-entitlement in that people believe they deserve certain privileges simply for being part of the organization (society) rather than contributing
This sense of entitlement i believe is brought upon by out entertainment/consumerist-focused culture
In comparison to education-focused cultures the US will soon lag.
luiza2166, yes there is the problem of the worlds resources which can't support all chinese and indians at the same level of comfort as the europeans and americans have today, in the way they have it today. do you know what i mean? humanity is creative, it will find ways to grow with recycled or different materials, if there is potential for growth then there will be growth. it may slow down or accelerate because of such problems or important inventions.
Unfortunately it's never going to happen. We are already at the limit of the Earth´s resources. There is absolutely NO WAY that 2 billion Chinese and Indians can have the same level of comfort and quality of life as people in the USA and Europe.
@luiza2166 He was talking income, not comfort. Everyone will have to settle for a leaner lifestyle.
If you consider that about 40% of all food in the USA is thrown away, I think it becomes pretty obvious that thrift, frugality and efficiency would go a long way.
Also: we're nowhere near depleting earth's resources. We're just doing a really poor job managing them sustainably.
@Tenocticatl Well, if you have a reasonable income it is obvious you are going to invest in things that make your life more comfortable. The amount of arable land in the world is diminishing year after year because of desertification. The amount of fish in the oceans is diminishing because of overfishing. Now were are we going to get the resources to give all these people the things they will want to consume once they have a good income?
@Tenocticatl Also, as the demand starts rising, the prices will also rise so *if* they ever have an average income of 40k a year, that income will not be worth the 40k of today, but the same 8k of today because of the considerable inflation that will result from such a rise in demand.
Those incomes are normalized for inflation, or the rise since 1900 would be way larger.
Arable land can be used far more efficiently (for example, through hydroculture), and the consumption of meat, especially beef, per capita will have to go down. Thankfully, Indians aren't really big on beef as is :-).
I guess there are some immense problems concerning food supply and resource requirements. I'm just saying, those problems can, and will be overcome. Might still take a while though.
im indian but reside in the US and after visiting india many times i realize that india's growing, however until their cheap corrupt government and society's changed the nation of india or china won't and can't rule over the US
hahaha wooo. this guy is funny.. Indian political system and the attitude of people and thinking of people has to change otherwise this remains only in graphics and there will be applause and the people clap only little satisfaction by lip service.. Indian economy is completely based on USA... every 6 years US economy is in Recession this time these guys are making money by talking real BS. hahahaha
I'm not so sure your right,. the western economy is interwoven with Asian companies, Honda, LG, etc. which prove an interdependent relationship exists with plenty of capital coming from the East. And besides the U.S. economy wasn't detached from Britains properly until around the middle of the 19th century, the cotton producing south relied heavily on the British economy, fast change can undoubtably reverse economic relationships
these descriptions don't take into account that income per person is relative to the FAKE number or price for their labor and inventions. actual economy as defined as workign together is based on relationships and technology/education, not money on average for unimaginably large groups.
this is total mysticism based on a constructed number. how about introducing an inequality axis to the graph?
it is no wonder he uses an erect stick of a new-nature-man to point to his constructions, giving them worth through pointless personality, enough to cover the utter mysticism of his graph!
Why did all those People in China rise out of poverty and starvation? I will tell you. They allowed people to keep the fruits of their LABOR from their own BODY.
They were no longer ENSLAVED to the State, in fact they enslavement rate is far lower than the State slaves of Europe today. European slaves are enslaved at rates as high as 80% of their useful working lifetime. While China's State enslavement rate is a mere 15%.
Its no wounder what happens, when people are free.
life expectancy is not how u measure health-care. People smoke and drink and have different culture which makes them more or less likely to die sooner. People in america also tend to eat way too much... equipment and survival rates of cancer and operations is the way to measure health-care (unless there is rationing like in europe)
what country? I am from europe as well. Just because you live in a country you dont know if caps on medicine exist. Just like i didnt know there is a huge sales tax in poland its just included in the price so you never even see it but its huge like 20%
I lived in both the UK and Italy, in both countries I have friends or relaitves with serious degenaritive diseases that require very expensive medication to maintain a reasonable quality of life, they have never been denied treatment, and I´m talking thousands of Euros worth of meds every year. My wife was treated for free in Italy when she had complications during pregnancy, and she was just a tourist passing by... so I find it hard to believe in caps, unless they're extremely high!
Wow - that was great - I thought he was going to crowd surf at the end!

China's GDP/capita went negative during the 1800's because China was invaded by Europeans and Japan. Even their Imperial Palace was looted. France recently sold a Chinese sculpture (looted from China) at Christie's auction. This cause an uproar in the Chinese community around the world. The Japanese and UK looted the most and now they're talking human rights. What a joke.

bergslag 1 year ago
@bergslag. Well, both nations are going to be developing their domestic economics. For that reason, PPP is quite important. In addition, China's nominal GDP is around $5.7 trillion, while India is around $1.5 trillion. I've read on various news sources that avg GDP growth in the next decade will be around 9-10%, for both, if not more. Now include an inflation of 3% and we're talking about doubling in 6 years at worst. What does that mean?
PS: Projections made in the past were way off.

He's a nerd alright, not a study nerd though. I read the texts 3 or 4 times. What did he study, social engineering or green science ? Move all the companies to India and China where the same people as before can dominate the whole world with frontmen like this.
whatzupa 1 year ago
@whatzupa. If the companies didn't move to China and India, you'd just see competitors arise over there. You need to understand that Japan was once similar to those nations. Indigenous corporations rose and thoroughly destroyed American competitors. You can include Germany in that category after WWII, because it is clear that US corporations are trying to stifle indigenous growth. It's going to be scary when China and India unravels.

@exaro. Malthus said this centuries ago. Keep in mind that the United States management of resources isn't what most in Europe would call first world. After all, those in US perform worse in nearly every socio-economic indicator than most European nations. In other words, per capita consumption in China needs to start resembling Japan. Keep in mind that one American probably consumes the equivalent of around 4 or more Japanese individuals.

If you go visit China now, its hardly recognizable compared to 10 years ago. However, the villages are still dirt poor, only the cities have dramatically changed. The rich get richer and the poor stay poor. Corruption is rampant; drawbacks of autocracy. It will inevitably be harder and harder to please both the rich and poor. Nevertheless, autocracy is a lot more efficient than democracy.

In China, most education is: YOU GET THE HIGHEST MARK you WIN. Nothing is done for the education except that. At school, people learn so few things about how to be a nice person, citizen, etc. Children goes through a road like wild beasts etc. Moreover, I think they have HIGH SCORES, low SKILLS. It's just like some of the top 10 students at Chinese baccalaureat. They were expelled back after an interview by the University of Hong Kong.

Indians has low average IQ, India have a population that keeps growing while natural resources, raw materials, the land etc are limited. For India to become one of the largest economies in the world and have a great influence YES. For each Indian to live under prosperity=> Maybe NEVER. India should have enjoyed British domination like Hong Kong. Why isn't India far in front of China that started REAL developement under Deng? They had more than 35 years!!

@LChinese1991 Dude the poorest parts of India are the once Britain had ruled the most years like Bengal. In no way shape or form should India "enjoyed British domination". Should China have enjoyed colonial powers and including American completely taking over Chinas market in the 1800s? India started its economic reforms with PM Singh in the 90s and China with Deng Xiaoping in the early 80s.

lol if you take all average Indians and Chinese I'm sure that you won't find a lot of them that study hard as hell. I know a lot of them that are lazy for studies even if they're poor. I can't believe that people are already satisfied with that level of life. If there are 1/1000 students that study hard: how many population do those countries have? Those countries will have massive students divided by sections. You don't know real life of an AVERAGE person!!!

cherylwens 2 years ago
What's wrong with being entitled to what you pay and work for?
Absolutely nothing, this is as it should be; however, within our culture theyre is a growing sentiment of self-entitlement in that people believe they deserve certain privileges simply for being part of the organization (society) rather than contributing
This sense of entitlement i believe is brought upon by out entertainment/consumerist-focused culture
In comparison to education-focused cultures the US will soon lag.
cheeseit126 2 years ago
"You mean the billionaires of America are chosen randomly?"
No it's not random at all. The class structure in the United States is rather predictable.
On of the greatest predictors of a child's future income is the income of his/her father.
The best way to insure that you'll be rich in the United States is to be born to somebody who is rich.
The best way to insure that you'll be poor in the United States is to be born to somebody who is poor.
It isn't random at all.

Unfortunately it's never going to happen. We are already at the limit of the Earth´s resources. There is absolutely NO WAY that 2 billion Chinese and Indians can have the same level of comfort and quality of life as people in the USA and Europe.
luiza2166 2 years ago
@luiza2166 He was talking income, not comfort. Everyone will have to settle for a leaner lifestyle.
If you consider that about 40% of all food in the USA is thrown away, I think it becomes pretty obvious that thrift, frugality and efficiency would go a long way.
Also: we're nowhere near depleting earth's resources. We're just doing a really poor job managing them sustainably.
Tenocticatl 2 years ago
@Tenocticatl Well, if you have a reasonable income it is obvious you are going to invest in things that make your life more comfortable. The amount of arable land in the world is diminishing year after year because of desertification. The amount of fish in the oceans is diminishing because of overfishing. Now were are we going to get the resources to give all these people the things they will want to consume once they have a good income?
luiza2166 2 years ago
@Tenocticatl Also, as the demand starts rising, the prices will also rise so *if* they ever have an average income of 40k a year, that income will not be worth the 40k of today, but the same 8k of today because of the considerable inflation that will result from such a rise in demand.
luiza2166 2 years ago
Those incomes are normalized for inflation, or the rise since 1900 would be way larger.
Arable land can be used far more efficiently (for example, through hydroculture), and the consumption of meat, especially beef, per capita will have to go down. Thankfully, Indians aren't really big on beef as is :-).
I guess there are some immense problems concerning food supply and resource requirements. I'm just saying, those problems can, and will be overcome. Might still take a while though.

They were no longer ENSLAVED to the State, in fact they enslavement rate is far lower than the State slaves of Europe today. European slaves are enslaved at rates as high as 80% of their useful working lifetime. While China's State enslavement rate is a mere 15%.
