you know what discovered years ago? farmers must be the brightest and most innovative people on earth. they face many different problems that they MUST resolve completely on their own if they wish to continue farming. they're everything from electricians, ditch diggers, plumbers, roofers, carpenters, planters, painters and mechanics. they learn their trade from their parents, neighbors and their own ingenuity. we don't give them enough credit for all they do for society. so, THANKS FARMERS! i appreciate all that you do for us all! uummm, very interesting video. didn't understand any of it. i wonder if anyone actually understands any of this nonsense. i think everyone's got it wrong. just because you can get something to work doesn't mean you can determine why it works. it works because it works. who gives a damn why. but i do know why energy doesn't flow FROM a building that's recieving energy from a power plant. its because the source, the power plant, PRODUCES energy. the building DOESN'T! it recieves and uses the enegy. kinda figured anyone past the third grade should be able to figure that one out. and i passed third grade just last year. so there.

@richiemandina5305 2) taxation and regulation are here to PROTECT labor, the consumer, society and the environment from business exploitation and abuse. no company ever went under due to over regulation. its a myth, A LIE perpetrated by corporations to instill anti-regulation sentiment into the masses. don't fall for it. 3) the govt ISN'T the biggest threat to small business. BIG BUSINESS IS! big business conspire against small business. big business is in fact anti-competition. its the govt that encourages small businesses to open. its big business that shuts these small businesses down, NOT THE GOVT!

@richiemandina5305 4) all capitalism is cronieism. that's how it works. don't confuse capialism with "free-marketism." despite what the elite tell us, they're two different things. there's NOTHING FREE under capitalism; not markets, not products or services and NOT PEOPLE! IN REALITY - socialism is much closer related to free-marketism than capitalism is. the father of free-marketism is john locke, not adam smith. and he envisioned free-marketism to EQUALIZE society. not to further divide it. he despised and denounced the accumilation of wealth and an elite ruling class. despite the lies the elite on the "left" and "right" tell us, socialism IS free-marketism. and vice-versa. capitalism results in both BIG BUSINESS and BIG GOVT! big govt is used to enforce the will of BIG BUSINESS! socialism isn't about big govt. its about creating a JUST SOCIETY where big govt isn't needed. we're ALL being lied to. and have been for 1000's of years. yet we continue to believe these lies. WHY?

what was just described here has a name, its called "capitalism." if companies didn't lie, cheat and steal they wouldn't make a profit. so exploitation becomes the basis of the system. exploit labor, the consumer and society as a whole so rich people can get richer. capitalism is consumer based and wage based economics. the capitalists pit the 2 groups against each other. which do we favor? employment or comsumer rights? in the end neither is favored in favor of PROFITS! the environment? screw it! profits are more important. poverty? who cares. profits are more importnant. livable wages and worker safety? not priorities. PROFIT for the rich is the only priority. consumer protections against monopolies, cartels, profiteering, fraud and theft? forget about it. consumerism is MORE IMPORTANT than the consumer. society exists ONLY to serve the corporate will. the medical industry pulls the same crap. they raise the cost of their services so high it requires third parties, such as insurance companies or govt programs, to pay for it. the industry SHUNS medical cures in favor of medical treatments. why charge the sick and infirmed for a one time cure when you can charge them for a LIFETIME of treatments? the internet, with its "clouds" and memberships demand lifetime payments of their patrons. you can't hardly buy anything outright anymore. you now must RENT products and pay monthly fees for their use. guess what? CAPITALISM IS A SCAM! that's the WHOLE point of it!

i'm sorry for your loss. i just lost my dad and my mom is quickly deteriorating. i just wish, in THIS universe - capitalism didn't prevent me from seeing them before they die. maybe in another universe there's actual justice on earth.

my question is, since there are infinite realities containing every imaginable and possible outcome, are their parallel universes that contain NO parallel universes?

@richiemandina5305 ... i appreciate your comment. i think you're on the right track but you're missing some very imporatant points to make an informed decision. let me explain.... 1) taxes NEVER made a rich person poor. this attack on taxation is just an elitist scam to keep the elite from fullfilling their social obligations. over 500 of the biggest companies in america PAID NO TAXES AT ALL in the last 20 years or so! and, of these, about 30-40% recieved TAX REFUNDS! in fact, through subsidies, tax breaks and govt contracts, big business is the LARGEST recipients of govt "welfare." they take in MUCH more tax dollars than they pay.

@joeatkin6600 ... no, my friend, i was the one being silly. i just don't understand any of this. its all over my head. i was just being silly in response to my own ignorance on the subject. but i really did pass the third grade. after 5 years my teacher threw a party! she was glad to get rid me. a 45 year old in third grade was probably too much for her to bear.

@up3315 ... the moment recycling became a "for-profit" industry it became corrupted. now, in many cases recycling actually contributes to environmental destruction. 90% of all recyclables are shipped to third world countries, half a world away. the energy spent to ship our trash to other countries counters the energy saved from recycling. the corporate profitteers corrupt EVERYTHING they get their hands on. so, its not about protecting the environment or natural resources. ITS ABOUT PROFITS! making rich people richer! see, this is how capitalism works - the rich make BILLIONS poisoning the planet. then they CHARGE US BILLIONS to clean up their mess. the rich get richer either way. and its cheaper, but more environmentally unsound, to ship our trash to poor countries than to simply recycle our own trash at home, ourselves. capitalism is insanity and corruption as social policy.

@kozmosis3486 ... are you asking a question or making a statement? i agree. universes don't contain each other.

@danlightened ... thanks my friend, for your kind response. getting most americans to accept reality is like pulling teeth. you'd think they were being asked to commit murder or betray their politics. we, ALL humanity, have been living in a marketing-created delusion, a pro-corporate propganda mill for so long we refuse to admit that we've been had, sold a bill of goods. we'd rather admire our oppressors than admit we're being exploited, manipulated, robbed and abused.

@shanelamontagne7334 ... apple, walmart, amazon, mcdonalds, etc are the biggest crooks in human history. the internet and cellphone dependence and addiction are the two biggest corporate scams ever conceived. steve jobs, bill gates, elon musk, zuckerburg and besos are among the biggest gangsters to ever exist. they're elitist, fascist, corporate thugs pushing police-state technology onto all humanity! all the internet is good for is spreading lies and misinformatoion, making society non-functioning, forcing all humanity to accept and use police-state technology and stealing your money. yet idiots abound who, through 3 generations, continue to PRAISE their own slavery to, dependence on and addiction to this corporate police-state monstrosity. and its only getting worse. this fascist, corporate technology is tearing humanity apart, dividing us even more and corrupting the very fabric of society. and morons, who've been subjected to this corporate propaganda for over 30 years are too blind and stupid to care. orwell's "1984" is becoming a reality right before our eyes! and idiots are too brainwashed to see it! I FEAR FOR THE FUTURE OF MY SPECIES!

the main point of this video is that a correction was made after a complaint was issued. this instance is THE exception but i'll guarantee you 99.infinty amount of the time you expose a mis-worded or vague question on a test or any mistake in the presentation of test questions YOU WILL BE IGNORED! those in power don't like their authority being questioned or challenged. i'll go so far as to assert that some questions are simply "loyality" questions. meaning they expect the test-taker to write down NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER, but the answer the test-taker believes the authority wants. this is how they brainwash us and make us question and even doubt reality. are there 3 candles or 4? the authority wants the test-taker to say 4 when there are really only 3. you're coerced to give the answer the authority wants you to give. dissent isn't only discouraged - ITS PUNISHED! the authority concludes the smart person is the one WHO CONFORMS to authority. the whole point of college is to FORCE conformity. not to reward individuality, innovation or originality. i've been punished my whole life for being a FREE-THINKER!

well done, that is the best demonstration of one of myths of science I've heard yet. graphics used were perfect... I happen to agree with much of science and what the video explains, but i'm not so naïve as to think its fact... nothing you just said is proved or even provable, but it makes perfect sense to me. but I also accept the right of anyone not to agree with me or believe what I believe... still, good job my friend.

your description kinda sounds like everyone i ever met. but ME! i'm wrong and sort of really correct at the same time. uummm, very interesting video. didn't understand any of it. i wonder if anyone actually understands any of this nonsense. i think everyone's got it wrong. just because you can get something to work doesn't mean you can determine why it works. it works because it works. who gives a damn why. but i do know why energy doesn't flow FROM a building that's recieving energy from a power plant. its because the source, the power plant, PRODUCES energy. the building DOESN'T! it recieves and uses the enegy. kinda figured anyone past the third grade should be able to figure that one out. and i passed third grade just last year. so there.

@theonetrueanthonylong1843 ... i appreciate that. but i still don't understand any of it. its over my head. i watch videos like this to gain understanding. but all they convince me of is that nobody really understands. and, quite frankly, i don't think its important in any way shape or form. fascism taking over the world, the corporate technological police-state and climate change - these are the important things that plague humanity right. these are the things that should be concerning us. thanks for response.
1
@theonetrueanthonylong1843 ... i agree. i could understand it, at least, better if my priorities weren't elswhere. like trying to stop the fascist take over of our country. but anything that can only be explained through "equations" i'm not likely to get because i don't understand the equations. or even the symbols used in the equations. if they can't explain it to me in simple english i won't understand. see, the social sciences i understand REAL WELL! better than most, i must admit. you don't need over complicated and absurd equations to understand politics, economics, anthropology, geography or history. what surprises me is how all these really intelligent people (?) who write and interpret these equations can't comprehend simple economics or the social and political threats we face today. in other words, they know all about these complicated equations that explain physics but can't figure out how to end poverty. ENDING POVERTY IS THE SIMPLEST THING IN THE WORLD and these science "geniuses" can't figure it out. that scares the hell out of me, my friend.

@joeatkin6600 ... "youtube university?" that's funny. is it anything like "trump-university?" can i get my money back? i'm not only a graduate of youtube university i'm one of its teachers! seriously though, i've learned alot from the videos and comments on youtube. but i've also witnessed MUCH misinformation and out and out lies on it too. have you noticed how the fascists are now rebranding fascism and hitler as "socialists?" these fascists DENOUNCE the word "fascism" while continuing to embrace all its principles. its absolutely absurd but people believe the lies! its called "firehosing." its the repeating of a lie often enough people begin to believe it. ITS THE ONE THING TRUMP IS GOOD AT! notice how he NEVER backs down from his lies. even after they've been exposed OVER AND OVER AGAIN! i call it "paranoid gullibility." its a DISEASE of the brain. an infectious disease that's more contagious than covid-19 and every bit as dangerous. one thing the internet has proved is that morons will believe any goddamned thing their told as long as it REINFORCES their prejudices and paranoia.

everyone knows corporations have only our best interests at heart. they tell us this in EVERY commercial and advertisement they bombard and firehose us with 100s of times a day. we're not ruled by govt but by corporations who own the govt and they own YOU! corporations control our daily lives more than any other entities on earth. and they'll lie, cheat, steal, kill and risk our health and welfare in their endless pursuits of higher profits. isn't capitalism GREAT?

@kashutosh9132 ... socialism is defined by its absence of an elite. if you have an elite class you don't have socialism. socialism is purely democratic. its rule by the people based upon human rights. also, capitalism is, in part, a consumer driven economy. its this insane consumerism that produces "designed obsolescence" and inflation through absurd profit margins and profiteering. its consumerism (the right to produce and profit from waste) that gives the corporations their false rationalization to merge corporations into industrial monoploies, control wages and dictate pricing. there's no consumerism with socialism. products aren't pushed on people or forced on them. "ownership" becomes irrevelant in a shared economy. most products would be available through a lending process like a library. when you need something you go get it. NO EXCHANGE OF MONEY! when you're done with it, you return it for someone ekse to use. the "right" demonize socialism because they FEAR economic justice. they want undemocratic elitist rule to continue. many on the "left" don't even know what socialism actually is. i'm here to correct the lies and misconceptions. if there's elitism or consumerism (waste) then it isn't socialism.
1
@kashutosh9132 .... there's never been a socialist country, no implementation of socialist principles on a national scale, in written human history. THAT'S MY POINT! if there's an elite class there's NO socialism. socialism doesn't denounce ownership - IT REJECTS WASTE and the accumilation of private wealth! socialism doesn't reject individualism, IT ENCOURAGES IT! socialism UNITES through social cooperation where WE ALL benefit. capitalism DIVIDES through cut-throat competition where the most greedy and ruthless flourish at the expense of the common good. police will work NOT to protect the wealth of the rich but ALL laws will be EQUALLY applied. its called "equal application of the law." its a mainstay in democracy. without it - YOU HAVE NO DEMOCRACY or socialism! here's REALITY 101 - socialism is economic democracy and democracy is political socialism. the one can't exist without the other. capitalism is economic fascism and fascism political capitalism. the one can't exist without the other. the elite rule and live in god-like oppulence off of the slave labor and blind, addictive consumerism of others.
1
G Rr ... i'm not sure what you're saying but let me make clear - national socialism and socialism are two different things. socialism is democratic. national socialism is fascist; authoritarian, anti-democratic and anti-socialist. fascists FEAR, despise and demonize socialism. they seek strong-arm authoritarianism, rule by a corrupt, bully elite. rule through capitalist oppression and exploitation. rule by terror, force, fraud, brutality and LIES! if fascists were socialists they'd just call themselves "socialists." but they don't because they are the antithesis of socialism; ITS opposite

man, you got that right. although i appreciate youtube's wide range of video content, (i hate the damned MEGA-commercialization though) the uploaders have a tendency to use titles that are sensationalistic, immature and even downright fraudulent. personally, i'm not looking for childish, manipulative or tabloid content. i think they AND youtube need to grow up and start treating us ALL like adults. man, that would be refreshing as hell. i'm an uploader, a content provider, and i don't pull that crap.

that's because Tesla was socialist. he actually cared about improving the human condition. not a good business man. but a WONDERFUL human being! what was just described here has a name, its called "capitalism." if companies didn't lie, cheat and steal they wouldn't make a profit. so exploitation becomes the basis of the system. exploit labor, the consumer and society as a whole so rich people can get richer. capitalism is consumer based and wage based economics. the capitalists pit the 2 groups against each other. which do we favor? employment or comsumer rights? in the end neither is favored in favor of PROFITS! the environment? screw it! profits are more important. poverty? who cares. profits are more importnant. livable wages and worker safety? not priorities. PROFIT for the rich is the only priority. consumer protections against monopolies, cartels, profiteering, fraud and theft? forget about it. consumerism is MORE IMPORTANT than the consumer. society exists ONLY to serve the corporate will. the medical industry pulls the same crap. they raise the cost of their services so high it requires third parties, such as insurance companies or govt programs, to pay for it. the industry SHUNS medical cures in favor of medical treatments. why charge the sick and infirmed for a one time cure when you can charge them for a LIFETIME of treatments? the internet, with its "clouds" and memberships demand lifetime payments of their patrons. you can't hardly buy anything outright anymore. you now must RENT products and pay monthly fees for their use. guess what? CAPITALISM IS A SCAM! that's the WHOLE point of it!

uummm, very interesting video. didn't understand any of it. i wonder if anyone actually understands any of this nonsense. i think everyone's got it wrong. just because you can get something to work doesn't mean you can determine why it works. it works because it works. who gives a damn why. but i do know why energy doesn't flow FROM a building that's recieving energy from a power plant. its because the source, the power plant, PRODUCES energy. the building DOESN'T! it recieves and uses the enegy. kinda figured anyone past the third grade should be able to figure that one out. and i passed third grade just last year. so there.

your english is excellent and so was your comment. i think the answer to your question is that in a reality with infinite possibilities there's an infinite number of parallel universes EXACTLY like ours as well as an infinite number that are different in an infinite variety of ways. each different scenario has an infinite number just like itself. so the whole thing is really rather silly and pointless, but fun to think about. my question is, since there are infinite realities containing every imaginable and possible outcome, are their parallel universes that contain NO parallel universes?

@Sjaella ... this theory doesn't rule out free will. in fact it supports it. its our free will that makes us choose different options in different universes. but at the same time it also relies on how environment also affects who we are and who we become. because if in an alternate universe you're born into different social conditions, or even different parents, it'll have an effect on your character development. its also a matter of timing and luck. in each universe our timing may be off just a fraction of a second that could have an effect on any decision. so free will, environmental conditions and luck and timing, alone or in different combinations, all play different factors in each different universe. did you ever see the star trek episode where spock and kirk turn evil? they were replaced by their evil doubles from an alternate universe. and hilarity ensues.

does anyone know the "Wyndham hotel corporation" owns La Quinta, Ramada, Microtel, Days Inn, Super 8, Howard Johnson and Travelodge? giant corporations have taken over the fast food, rental, mortgage, insurance and medical industries? they hike up prices and implement discrimination polices against smokers and the poor. about 20 corporate conglomerats OWN EVERYTHING in this country INCLUDING THE GOVT, your employer, your local retailer AND YOU!! and people wonder why things are such a GODDAMNED MESS in this country? its because NONE OF YOU are doing anything to END your own corporate slavery!

everyone knows corporations have only our best interests at heart. they tell us this in EVERY commercial and advertisement they bombard and firehose us with 100s of times a day. we're not ruled by govt but by corporations who own the govt and they own YOU! corporations control our daily lives more than any other entities on earth. and they'll lie, cheat, steal, kill and risk our health and welfare in their endless pursuits of higher profits. isn't capitalism GREAT?
