Rethinking Humanity - a Film by RethinkX

Humanity is on the brink of existential transformation, but we’re blind to the deeper processes of change. To recognize the mind-blowing possibility space of the next decade, as well as its catastrophic risks, we must grasp the patterns of history to understand how they can illuminate today.

Rethinking Humanity takes viewers on a whirlwind tour of the rise and fall of civilizations through a powerful lens that makes sense of the past, so that we can step into the present and create our future. During the 2020s, key technologies will converge to completely disrupt the five foundational sectors that underpin civilization, and with them every major industry in the world today. In information, energy, food, transportation, and materials, costs will fall by 10x or more, while production processes an order of magnitude more efficient will use 90% fewer natural resources with 10x-100x less waste.

The knock-on effects for society will be as profound as the extraordinary possibilities that emerge. For the first time in history, we could overcome poverty easily. Access to all our basic needs could become a fundamental human right. But this is just one future outcome. The alternative could see our civilization collapse into a new dark age. Which path we take depends on the choices we make, starting today. The stakes could not be higher.

What a thought-provoking piece! Although this is probably Tony's most accessible video, it is worth watching several times to grasp the implications and opportunities for society.

Came here from solving the money problem. Great video!

[peterlittlejohn]

The most worthwhile thought provoking 32 minutes I've spent on YouTube EVER. Encourage all you know to watch this and then send on to everyone they know.

This simultaneously filled me with hope and existential dread. All I know is that I need to play my part.

[Robescocia]

Cannot believe there are not millions of viewers even though it was only released an hour ago! It’s absolutely brilliant!

[juhak]

This video needs to be seen by everyone. And I do mean EEVVERYYOONNE!!!

[emceegreen]

Looks like we’re moving right into a new era. The past transitions have led to this make or break moment. Utopia or Oblivion! Your choice

[ArendJanV]

Thanks for doing this. Together with your book it has given me clarity about what’s happening in the world today. The following quote is so true: “ the belief that our current system can continue is worse than a mirage, it’s a road to hell paved with good intentions”

A time of wonder is upon us. There are those who will be confuse by these claims, and then there willbe those who have finally found other kindered spirits. This is the force of change cannot be ignored or avoided.

This is incredible. The most insightful take on the future I've seen yet.

“It’s time to stop fixing the old and start building the new.” Gonna tattoo that on my brain. “We must fly the airplane while we build it.” So so right. Thx.

Tony Seba and ReThinkX really need much more exposure. Goodness knows how long Tony has been correctly predicting the future

[jonathanclutton]

Superb. Not too hard to guess which possible future will appeal to the vast majority of people! I feel fortunate to be witnessing this transformation first hand. Bring it on.

[craigpeterson]

Thanks to Tony and his team. Ultimately it was Tony who inspired me to put 100% of my RRSP into Tesla almost three years ago. The next decade is going to be fun! Hang on and enjoy the ride everyone….

[Alkhalidi]

This a video that isn't biased, it just shows you where humanity really is despite what you think or what your opinion is. it just doesn't care if throwing all the facts and data in your face is something you can handle or not, nonetheless, it just does it. this is a video of utmost importance! this is a video that at least 100s of millions of people must see for the sake of humanity's consciousness...

Edit: only the elites would dislike this video.

[DonNorris]

To get where you're going, you need a map. This is sort of a brainstorm for how to build the map we need. Slipping the leash of mere detail, it runs out into the wider space where imagination can flourish unconstrained. Profoundly hopeful. Despite the necessary absence of specificities, it builds from past human experience to envision human civilization after our current reality of slash, burn and move on industrialisation. Definitely worth sharing widely.

[seantrumble]

I don’t like videos often… But when I do… I choose ones like these… 🔥🔥🔥

[SmartMart]

The EV revolution is happening even faster than even Tesla imagined. Long wait lists are now evident for all of Tesla's models. ICE vehicles are now obsolete.

30 yes ago, I conceptualized search engine technology. I have been ahead of everything by 10-20yrs. NO1 LISTENED! Same thing now.
