Maybe electing people who won’t be alive for society’s collapse isn’t such a bright idea

[SeanA]

Hey guys. If we work really hard, we can achieve that goal by 2030

[Exoskel]

Living through the birth of internet
Living through the birth of social media
Living through the acceleration of technology
Living through the societal collapse

The US economy cannot survive without continuous credit and debt creation. The FED will print more money and the average American will go just that much further in debt. Meanwhile, foreigners lust for the greenback. Their economies are in worse condition than the US... if that's even possible. Someone is going to be left holding the bag...

Saying "oh hey society is predicted to collapse in 18 years" and following it up with "the first 1000 fans to sign up with this link get a free month of skillshare!" is some disconnected dystopian ish.

[GeneralKenobi]

"So basically yeah the world is ending. Sponsored by Skillshare!"

This world has literally become a parody of itself at this point

[polliec]

Here is the scary part that isnt talked about. When people refer to past civilizations collapsing, they are refering to a small part of the world, that is relatively isolated from other civilizations. Islotation meaning that they dont rely on other civilizations and empires to survive, and vice versa. Nowadays, when we talk about civilization collapsing, we are referring to a huge portion of the world collapsing, something that we have never seen before.

"The irony that I am part of the problem. But here ya go, have an ad..." 😂 most excellent!!! Perfectly cheeky!

[oliverknabe]

"This video is brought to you by Skill, Share. Thanks to SkillShare you can [learn all of these cool things] which will be useless by 2040 according to MIT"

[faethe]

My experience is that there's never been a group of science types as bad at prediction as economists.

[rochecr]

While "The Limits to Growth" did present a scenario in which global societal collapse could occur around 2040, it's essential to understand that this was just one of many potential outcomes modeled in the report. It wasn't a definitive prediction. Moreover, the intent of the study was more to stimulate thought and discussion about sustainable growth than to make precise forecasts.

[Alaryicjude]

Two years later and things are only worse... I think a collapse is inevitable.

[shmeckal_]

The biggest problem with humanity is the fact that we typically tend to be more reactive then proactive we wait until the last minute to fix big problems that could have been solved a long time ago

"Here you go, have an ad."

"What a good little consumer you are."
I died a little.

[hidesertroamer]

Every generation blames the one before for their problems. Eventually you realize that it does nothing beneficial and begin to work them out for yourselves.

[ACD]

Will come back to this video in 2040. See you then.

[bitbucketcynic]

Never let anyone make a decision if they won't personally suffer for being wrong.

[djnick]

The way Covid was handled is a good insight as to how screwed we are if something even more serious comes

[captainpumpkinhead]

That ad placement was hilarious! Can't even be mad about that.
