Chapter 18 - Environmental Data (2 of 2): The entire human population reached three billion in 1960, and today more than twice that number of people live on earth with rapid growth expected to continue in the future. Unfortunately, an increasing population increases the demand for earth's natural resources. In this chapter, Dr. Chris Martenson explains that since the easiest-to-extract, most abundant natural resources are extracted first, our growing population will have to deal with scarce, energy-consuming, low-grade resource availability in the near future.

  • Human do not the "right" to have children. Any more than every dog has the right to have a litter of puppies. What we have legislated for our pets, we will have to also legislate for ourselves, or our species is toast.

  • Thank you very much for this but i dont share your optimism. You said you wouldnt have done this course if you didnt think we as a species can change. But we wont change, impossible. Humanity never changed unless it had to, by force. The only thing that we can do, being smart enough to realise whats coming, is to prepare...

see all

  • Chris doesn't mention Thorium in any of his lectures, I believe. That is an extremely important resource that no one is talking about, but should be.

  • It's a shame that more people don't have the patience or even the desire to watch these videos and fully understand all the concepts. Only goes to show how ignorant we all are.

  • @hearts0ngs Most people don't think of the bigger picture, their home is their kingdom and their family and friends are their lives. They don't realise how having children affects things, they only realise how much their children mess their house up. Humanity is a very ignorant species.

    The only reason the Western general population is even as aware as it is because its been explained to death for decades. Other places haven't had such luxuries.

  • It makes me think that inflation is intended as a means of stimulating growth because it encourages spending as opposed to saving. It may be an unintended consequence, but I'm more leaning on the side that it is not.

  • @kent6608 please stop giving up responsability to government for a problem that is of each and everyone of us.

  • we pissed it all away in the name of stupid fucker capitalism.

    god damn republicans. god damn you all.

    chris is a genius, but he has rightly inspired me to hang myself.

    at least i wont add more spawn to the gene pool.

  • @MacabreManifesto ...recycling.
