How Civilizations Collapse

If we’re not careful, a quick collapse could take the US by surprise.

What you call the weakness of the amish is their strength and sustainability

Civilizations generally go though relatively well defined cycles of growth and collapse that last about 250 years. Most the items listed here are not the primary causes. You should look into this further, it's both fascinating and concerning. What stage are we in now?

I would like to see more of them talking about the long term plans. I think we could use more of that right now.

I see a lot of people just excepting defeat. Bruh we need to make changes. Giving up is part of the problem!

“Downfalls happen quickly, shortly after the civilisation has reached its peak in population, economical prosperity or military might” - 2020 we can honestly say we are at our peak in terms of technological advancement, over/population, economical prosperity and military might. Wouldn’t be surprised if our social construct collapses in the next 3-4 years

Now I am become progressive, the destroyer of civilizations.

ironic that your 5th point regarding political/social change is what got us into this climate crisis mess after the french/industrial revolution. Increase in lifespan, quality of life, consumerism has brought on consumption rates we can no longer manage; whereas if we were to stay how we were before the industrial revolution we would avoid much of the impending global ailments we face today.

Great explanation... thanks so much for making this. We have no idea how fast we will crash. (if you have time for a next version - make the iceberg melt, as you know, ice floats and so will not fall off the bottom)

[ncwixov]

what are the historical reference points? In particular I would be interested in seeing the rate of decline after peaking.

Although well done visually, common sensy, ultimately were looking at a baseless argument.

This video was really helpful thank you so much :)

[anndriggers]

Wow three whole minutes dedicated to how civilizations rise and fall? How did you have time to get anything else done? Bunk...

[Manlike-Fresh-E]

Like that he squeezed in a quick “peace” after all that ahahah

[shivamrandive]

5000 years mohenjodaro in india is so fascinating

[bigeddymachete]

Our iceberg is melting from the inside as we speak

[truthistreason]

if this wasnt pushing an agenda i would pay attention.

Where is the research on the past civilizations that have already fallen? What caused their fall? Why spend so much time on the Amish—-a society that doesn’t have or want power—-rather than Great Britain, cultures in the Middle East, or Rome. How does a rising middle class in China affect the United States today? Looking for your more improved and induction based video on this same topic in the future.

[claypunk]

very relevant now with the covid-19 situation in the US

[borntoworkanddie]

Like the vandals said, we liked burning Rome down.
