When was this filmed ?

This guy is a national treasure, I never heard of before ?

[prawda3]

Not so long ago. But far before "Zeitgeist Addendum" was made.

This is so damn true! Open your eyes people!

@bodybuilder718 well statistics and college history classes tend to give you that impression. and "prior to modern days" means before the 20th century (though ww1 and 2 may make it seem worse) I would love to continue this but please, via private messaging, as the word cap is driving me crazy

[bodybuilder718]

@DesertHamster its a million times more dangerous now, were did you hear that the world is less violent? and what do you mean by prior times?

[DesertHamster]

@krause79 that being said: if you wish to continue this we do it via pm's (as the word limit is driving me nuts). And also I'm all for the Venus project, but the world is much less violent now than in prior times

[DesertHamster]

@krause79 conveniently picking "when slavery was abolished" how bout we go back 100 more years (1 in 4 slaves only made it to the americas which would mean roughly 40 million killed for slavery and 20 million during the 16th 17th 18th century)... or the 20million dead in the taiping civil war. Millions were dying of starvation even prior to modern days. In europe hardly a year went by in the 1700's without at least one country waging war on the other

[krause79]

@DesertHamsterThere are quite a lot more children enslaved now than when slavery was abolished, percentages for me are irrelevant as well as completely misleading in this case, i´ll tell you why, millions of innocent people die every year due to wars they don´t even know about. There is food for them to stop starving, there are resources for them to get a living, there is technology and energy for them to be self suficient, but it´s much more profitable arms trading, cheap reasources, etc.

[DesertHamster]

@krause79 i'm sorry but considering percentage-wise how many people die in conflict now as opposed to say 50 or 100 or 200 years ago, we are indeed more peaceful,.. the reason it seems worse now is because it's more difficult to hide these wars or their true purpose from the public that and the fact that the brain processes negative memory faster than good ones making the past always seem more rosy. That being said just 'cause it's more peaceful now doesn't mean we should stop wanting more peace

[Phonologie]

@krause79 Im not kidding.

[krause79]

@Phonologie You´re kidding, right ?? we´ve got the bigest war for resources in history, some in our very nose, many others concealed.



[Phonologie]

May be we are NOW in the most peaceful point in the history of the human society. Just think about the recent history.

@anarchy3E "who cares a shit what you have "love" for or not?"

We have evolved our big brains for social interaction and like/dislike therefore "love" and "caring" is inevitable. Besides social interactions the general consensus is the dislike of pain or early death so we also developed science and technology by using our logical thought processes which is again inevitable. Which means "caring", "love" and "think you are something bigger" is "the shit" rather than "not the shit".
