Chapter 19 (Future Shock): Debt, money creation, population, and energy production have all experienced unsustainable exponential growth in recent years. This fact, when paired with the housing bubble, 'boomer' retirements, peak oil production, a national failure to save money, and excessive exploitation of natural resources, is cause for alarm. In this summary, Dr. Chris Martenson encourages us, "to return to living within our natural and economic budgets." The next twenty years are going to be completely unlike the last.

  • This is an excellent video detailing the greatest challenges of my generation and perhaps of all humanity. However, here are some more vital statistics that further compound these problems.

    Justin Bieber music video = 525,000,000 views

    The crash course = 117,698 views

  • This video contains more truth than any other I've seen here. It's certainly sad though that it hasn't reached more people.

  • @captainandthelady I have seriously thought about it and I feel I would rather live for a bit then die young than never live at all.

    I think that death and killing is actually a better way to solve overpopulation than restricting birth. Those people get a chance to experience life, a chance to commit suicide if they think its right, and if they starve or are killed in resource wars, they at least got to see something of life.

    They got a chance to try and live, and the fittest will survive.

  • @poop890poop890 typical answer of a breeder who doesn't care about the fact that he's a murderer and not only that but he also curses the other who bring that to his knowledge. overpopulation -> (birth = murder). deal with that. btw if anyone should die it's breeders, not me - cause they are the problem. you kill me and others and laugh me in the face. sincerely hope you die. please die.

  • @klumnik ...... If you think the world is overpopulated, go to the doctor and sterilize yourself. C'mon malthusians, bring the war home! Commit suicide.

  • @Buddha213 haha...we are also suffering intellectual inflation, most use of our intellect is for stupid stuff...junk info

  • I think our species will meet its end when the earth is destroyed because of overpopulation. So I suggest we enforce a law like the Chinese did in the late 70's, One Child Policy! This surely will keep a lid on top of demand in the future, only if other nations will enforce the same rule, which is very unlikely!

  • i will quote one of the most prolific poets of our time for this subject,

    Young Jeezy

    "ITS GOING DOOOOOOOOWN"

  • In the end I believe that all or most of our problems can be defined as overpopulation. We can do this as intelligent people or do nothing and let nature do it for us If nature does it, it will be bloody and painful. Chris has done a wonderfull piece of work here and I for one will help spread the word though I believe most people, like our polititions, don't want to hear about it. It makes them uncomfortable and nervous and moves them out of their comfort range...oh well.

  • @j12torts Our polititians are part of the problem and as such they don't want to here about it. If you can talk to then (and I have tried) you'll just get "the old politcial two step". I believe that your destiny is up to you and that people like Chris can show you what is wrong and maybe what to do but in the end is will be up to you. In other words, educate yourself.
