Wow the ending is miss leading. People aren't against vaccines, they're against UNKNOWN vaccines you know like how rushed the covid one was without standard clinical trials? Would I take the polio vaccine? Sure it's been around a while and works. Would I take the untested vaccine that doesn't even work and makes a lot of people even more sick? Nah I'll take my chances

best argument against it. we would have tons of high schoolers smelling like ass and thinking they're so cool as they slowly lose brain cells. happens in my old high school too often

This video is implying that everyone will work together and have the same knowledge as each other when in reality if society collapsed, only a handful of the survivers would be of any use. Technology has been integrated so deeply in society today that you can look up anything online. You don't need to rely on your parents teaching you some stuff as you can look it up. The level of knowledge will decrease throughout generations and increase the need for technology. Its like building a building: the more advanced you get the taller the building can be. But say the foundation cracks and the building collapses, its going to cause more damage than a smaller one. Now look at people's skills. While sure a lot lf farmers could survive, they won't know everything about every crop. A farmer from the Midwest might know a lot about growing corn and soy but know nothing about rice. Meanwhile the Chinese farmer is the opposite. So not only will the amount of food be lower but the choices would be too. And if the Midwestern farmer wants to grow rice, how will they communicate to the Chinese farmer? Phone services and online chat rooms could be down and you couldn't do it. Realistically speaking, even if 99% of the world was gone and we had the same ratio of people knowing different skills (farmer, banker, teacher, etc) they wouldn't all be shared equally across the planet. There are a lot more computer engineers in silicon valley than Wyoming as an example so some areas will be better off than others. Thats why only a small amount of the survivers will actually survive long enough to create civilization again. All the skilless people will be casted out

Hearing "tatoo" is strange after using "tat too" your whole life

So increase world hunger for 100 years to reduce CO2. Quite the trolley problem
2
Modern Earth is definitely not in a peaceful state right now. Taiwan, Ukraine, and Poland are at risk of invasion, middle east is freed of any help so the Taliban is making a comeback, Africa and South America and full of war lords, North America and the EU are on the brink of civil wars and revolutions, while WWIII isn't happening but that doesn't mean we are at peace
2
Its like Biden during his campaigning where he said he'd ban fracking and once hes in office he said he isn't. Things like that will happen all the time so voting isn't going to do anything

The EU is getting more and more power that they even want to govern other nations

I think the problem with vaccines isn't the fact they kill you because they don't, but its giving governments power to put things inside you which could go badly. But that's the only problem

So basically become eco terrorists

@markigirl2757 and its unfortunate really. I have glasses but I know if society falls I will only be useful until my glasses break. An optometrist could be 500 miles away but how to get there I don't know. I could survive on my own longer if I had laser eye surgery before the collapse but currently I would only survive for a couple decades at most

I feel like this is one of those topics no one will ever know the true answer because some might see it as racist or barbaric. There are gangs in Africa that do horrible things and you also have events like the Rwanda genocide

We have the problem of space garbage that seems like an important issue to solve first. Nothing like a billion dollar mining probe being damaged from a tiny pain chip

Isnt it a stronger immune system the more harmful and the more sick you get? If your immune system isn't reacting, you wont get a fever or aches or feel weak as those are immune responses
1
@jdirksen its not about optimization actually. A weak one is just that. Weak. If it cant make handle the common cold, you probably got over run due to a lack of antibodies and all the immune cells. Not that you used so much
1
@drsatan7554 its a debated topic. If you never get sick, does it mean your immune system isn't recognizing the bacteria someone sneezed on you? Or is it so strong you kill it instantly? Wouldn't you always feel weak if that was the case? Never gaining muscle because you're fighting off everything so fast? Sure pneumonia would do damage but theres a lit of stuff that doesn't harm you such as pollen or peanuts. You get allergies because your immune system freaks out over the slightest change. If it noticed the pollen, isn't that strong?
1
@drsatan7554 but a less resource intensive method would mean it's weaker because you are not reacting as much as a stronger one. A cell wont tap the immune cell on the shoulder and point where its at. It will scream and wave its arms around while the guy next to him is being eaten. How can you optimize that exactly? Fastest way to win is to stop them before they spread. Better to send lots of cells than 1 large strong cell. All that takes energy
1
@jdirksen what does your body use the resources for exactly? Hint, they mentioned it in the video. It takes energy and resources to make cells yes? Takes enery and resources to make the alerts and signals from cells yes? If said person's immune system is using a lot of energy and resources, where does it all get used up at? Your idea is backwards. If you're using resources a lot, you must be trying to do something. The fact that your body recognized an infection and responded means it's doing its job. The reaction is to do as the video says. Release signals, alert immune system, create new cells, and other activities like cough or fever. All take resources to use. So again if you're saying a poor immune system is using more resources, where are they going? If for whatever reason you don't have an immune system, you shouldn't feel as sick because all your cells would be doing is freaking out. No fever, no new immune cell creation, no anything. Do you see how this is a debated topic?

@jdirksen your immune system is a lot more harmful to you than most other pathogens. Coughs, fevers, runny nose, inflammation, pressure build up in the sinuses, weakness, loss of appetite, etc are almost always caused by your own immune system. The common cold for example isn't going to cause you to get a runny nose. Thats your body trying to flush it out to reduce the spread. When I had pneumonia a few years ago, I honestly couldn't eat anything no matter how hard I tried. I had a few bites and that was it. It wasn't the things in my lungs causing it, it was my immune system doing it. A lot of damaging infections are pretty specific at what they attack like HIV attacking the white blood cells or malaria attacking the liver. Your immune system can easily destroy everything and anything in its path as many of this channel's videos have mentioned before. It will attack indiscriminately. Now if you never get a fever or cough for a cold, there could be a few reasons. 1. Your immune system doesn't recognize it very well and struggles to handle it. 2. The infection is mild/not a lot of stuff got in and you dont need do so much damage. 3. You already got infected with this strain before so your memory cells help faster. 4. Your naturally more immune to this disease compared to someone else. I feel like your idea of efficiency falls more into idea 3, but we don't know which case it is every single time. Some diseases lay dormant for years and if your immune system finds them and you get "sick", I feel like that is a sign of a strong immune system. Its supposed to be active and look for anything that could harm you non stop so the fact you got a fever from finding a dormant virus shows its actively looking for things. Efficiency and strength have some in common but I feel like being able to recognize the infection faster and handle it is a bit better than just being efficient because the faster you can stop it, the less likely it can mutate. And its also a pretty clear sign you are sick and you know not to spread it to others

You have to be competitive to keep your civilization working. Well a lot of people rather sit in a corner and cry so good-bye human race
1
My thought is humans are advancing faster than evolution can keep up. While its great we have computers and other technology, who makes it? People working 40+ hours a week. Thats a fairly new thing especially sitting in front 9f a computer all day during that time and our bodies just haven't adapted fully to it yet. It leads to stress, mental disorders, and other health issues. Out caveman ancestors would be running around all day while we recently just halted that and now sit to work

The government in the US today is trying to reduce emissions in a way but aren't doing it right. Instead of giving the people options to have cheaper electric cars and more charging stations, they instead tax us on emissions. California trying to ban any truck not made in the last decade because they're not as fuel efficient. Ok but will you help pay for the new trucks then? No? Ok now our shipping is slowing down. Will you build more nuclear reactors since they produce the most power? Nah cut down forests and put up solar panels. You have to give people time to adjust with cheaper or same price items. Would I trade in my 1999 used car for a new $50000 tesla? No I don't have that kind of money

@technologicalMayhem the normal process of a vaccine takes about 5 years at the very minimum. Usually about a year for development, 2 for testing and 2 for human clinical trials. Thats if it doesn't run into any issues to begin with. I know this because my sister has been part of a clinical trial for about 6 years now and its going to be finished this year. 2 months is not a clinical trial
1
@technologicalMayhem because you don't understand how it works. You cant just speed up time. Look at this video for example. Normal viruses cause symptoms within a few days while rabies can be symptomless for months. What if cancer started forming a year later? No amount of people is going to speed that up. Adding more people to test it would only be showing a more general idea of how the average population will react during the trials. It wont magically make it speed up so they can get it done faster. Its literally a WHO standard. You can even look up how long it takes to develop the vaccine and creating it is the easier parts. Making sure you dont kill off your subjects immune system or inflate their liver is a lot harder
1
@tshn8363 no they're not lol. Maybe those crazy super religious people but before 2020 that was really it. Covid happened and blew that number way out of proportion
1
@technologicalMayhem you still have to make suree that theres no long term side effects. You can predict all you want but nothing will top actually waiting and see
1
@technologicalMayhem isn't this the first real public mrna vaccine? And didn't the Johnson and Johnson one cause heart problems? It doesn't matter if you don't think that it requires time and studying, thats literally the point of clinical trials. While you might take anything without question, a lot of people aren't like that
1
@technologicalMayhem so youd rather get heart problems as a healthy adult than the sniffles and cough that are like the common cold? Ok you do you but just remember forcing it onto others has ruined lives
1
@technologicalMayhem "whos forcing it on others?" You cant be serious. Have you lived under a rock?
1
@technologicalMayhem the government isn't the only one who can force it. Jobs can let you go or not allow you to work at all if you don't get it. Thats forcing. Your original point is a lack of understanding what the issue is and just following whatever you're told with no opposing view. Thats dangerous regardless of the topic. I mean you really said you'd rather give people heart issues than risk a virus thats part of the common cold family. Thats psychotic. Old people and those with preexisting health conditions (obesity, asthma, autoimmune disorders, etc) are the ones who are at risk. Telling a 20 year old track star to take this experimental vaccine that could give him heart issues instead of a minor flu is idiotic. And like this video is implying, if you're against that you're an antivax and anti science
1
@technologicalMayhem I said cold not the flu. The common cold isn't from influenza otherwise that would be a much bigger deal. As your second point, if you don't want to risk getting heart inflammation by not taking the vaccine, you are automatically hated and an antivaxer like the video is implying. As someone else (who deleted their comment) said that a majority of people are against vaccines. That is a blatant lie. Only people who were against them before covid were super religious people and nut cases saying they cause autism. Covid happens and the media inflates the"antivax" numbers because people don't want this specific vaccine for the reasons of A it doesn't affect them and B its not tested like every other vaccine has been. There isn't anything wrong with not wanting to be forced to be given something experimental. But like the media and this video are implying, if you don't want it you must be against all vaccines
1
@technologicalMayhem you should always be spectacle of new studies. Thats what drives science. Them saying "don't do that" is the same as saying "don't question and try to improve". Both sides have issues. Some believe in everything they read and others think its all 1 big conspiracy. I don't think people who are against this and only this vaccine are in the wrong this time but instead the people saying dont question it are, like the video is saying. Now if someone said they don't want the measles vaccine when its been around for decades then yes they are in the wrong

Sounds interesting but would be super impractical. Nothing like a giant spinning flail in space. If it somehow comes crashing down it'd cause a lot of damage. It'd also be impossible to do repairs on it because its spinning and you can't stop it

The way I see it is like this: China has lower total emissions overall but they have the largest recent total which means they're creating more faster. A slow steady increase is not nearly as bad as a sudden increase because nothing will have time to adapt. The EU is a lot smaller than the US and so England might have lower emissions but they also have less land for building factories. They rely heavily on imports and not everyone needs to drive 30-60 minutes a day to work like some people in larger countries. So while the US is looked at at being a terrible place for emissions, you have to look at why

Sound effects from terraria at the end?

NucleareWarfare every drug is bad if you do too much. if its legal tons of people are going to be using it daily and if they are teens its going to mess with your brain. think about it. a drug. that makes you cognitively impaired for a few hours. doesn't effect you at all. especially not when the brain is still growing. does that seem right? i never said it kills brain cells btw so maybe you should read but after looking at people who are complete stoners who dont do anything but smoke, it makes you think how they even gotten this far in life and if this is the farthest they will go. but hey someone needs to clean the bathrooms at McDonald's
1
NucleareWarfare people in my college dorm would disagree with not smoking everyday. dont compare the Netherlands when we are talking about the US. they still will do it because now they won't get in trouble

This video takes the extremes of both the good and bad. The bad: a high schooler with $40k can build a bio weapon in 10 years or someone with a bio degree can do it in 1. The good: no one would post the dna sequence online so people can use it for evil. Not sure about this video. Seems like it was lacking any actual investigation and putting too much faith in bad people. Kinda reminds me of the no gun signs
