  1. "So lets say if you're lucky enough to die..." Hahaha! The Narrator is great!

  2. 2 people slipped and fell on the dislike button.

  3. HERE! Have your damn likes!
    145
  4. = it's passive And it's even cooler when hooked with energy storage.

  5. Another good question is why the assertion that life can be valued like a commodity for its use to an economy - we've called non useful life pests.
    62
  6. no shit...
    48
  7. Same people who didn't believe that smoking was harmful. Look at who is creating that narrative. It's a capitalist world.
    45
  8. Do certain youtubers count as cult leaders? I certainly think that's the modern equivalent. Look at the ''discussion based channels like The Amazing Atheist, Computing Forever, Crowder or Sargon of Akkad - stanced on a position on making you ''smarter''. I've seen it all, been a subscriber to each one and watch everyone lash out at other youtube channels or groups who dared to challenge their own youtuber. I consider myself lucky to see and point out the pure bullshit for myself the deeper I got into these things and saw how the comments/subscribers ran away with a certain way of thinking. Well, all that as well that these youtubers are very good at hiding their flaws of their message via editing and scripting. Their videos of just themselves talking become very charismatic and enticing. What makes it sad is how those youtubers specifically make ad revenue by just focusing on certain sensitive and/or political issues, to the point that they make it their livelihood. From anything like constantly shitting on feminism to undermining those who highlight police brutality - all wrapped up in a click-baitey headline. Surely I'm not the only one to notice this, right?

  9. Close enough, but do read "exploitation" and "expansion" as Capitalism.
    11
  10. Awesome

  11. It also ignored the businesses who puts the reckless amount of CO2 in the environment in the first place

  12. Bollocks! Spent half my childhood eating raw cake mix and pancake batter!

  13. 5:38 Er... What?

  14.  @skad2058  I would kindly agree

  15. You should see her previous video. 'Where we get our fresh water - Christina Z.'

  16. 100%, but it's not the only one. I'm wondering if certain youtubers count as cult leaders? I certainly think that's the modern equivalent. Look at the ''discussion based channels like The Amazing Atheist, Computing Forever, Crowder or Sargon of Akkad - stanced on a position on making you ''smarter''. I've seen it all, been a subscriber to each one and watch everyone lash out at other youtube channels or groups who dared to challenge their own youtuber. I consider myself lucky to see and point out the pure bullshit for myself the deeper I got into these things and saw how the comments/subscribers ran away with a certain way of thinking without question. These youtubers are very good at hiding their flaws of their message via editing and scripting. Their videos of just themselves talking become very charismatic and enticing. What makes it sad is how those youtubers specifically make ad revenue by just focusing on certain sensitive and/or political issues, to the point that they make it their livelihood. From anything like constantly shitting on feminism to undermining those who highlight police brutality and corruption - all wrapped up in a click-baitey headline against the enemy. Surely I'm not the only one to notice this, right?

  17. That's the secret dial! Democracy in the workplace!!

  18. But capital is served by police and courts...

  19. Someone has been doing their homework. Nice to hear anything about the GWR again.

  20. 0:13 Sounds very familiar. I wonder who wrote something a bit like that?

  21. If there's one thing we have learned over the last 5 years, it's that you can't bet against Musk. I think that answer's the title's question.

  22. 3:08 Store extra energy? That's what they call battery banks. A small battery less than the size of a kitchen cabinet that stores excess energy that isn't consumed. Excess power can also be sold to the grid.

  23. Oohhhhh, how clever, I would've never seen it coming. If you're watching Sargon of Akkad or Computing Forever, irony has been totally lost on you.

  24. This was incredible to learn about and incredible modest-seeming animation!

  25. Rock on

  26.  @filipfolkesson3865  all that money went into propping up stocks. You might not call it capitalism, but it did everything to support private capital. Go Figure!

  27. What to do when Climate protestors and anti-genocide protestors are branded as criminal ms?
    2
  28. Ireland is split on two. That's a consistent problem. And never mind until we go east of turkey!

  29. We're too late aren't we? Existentially too little too late

  30. ​ @cobaltblue2756 a useful alternate solution would be nice if we all collectively considered and understood the alternative to private enterprise owning and being responsible of mineral resource extraction, fossil fuels, farming, construction, manufacturing, etc. Because I rarely see anyone focus on that when they point out in rage that silica, copper, lithium and cobalt mining is no better but in fact worse than oil and coal, or gas, iron, lead, blood sweat and tears of working women and children.

  31. The broken nature is inherent
    2
  32. Who allows it to be so scarce in the first place?
    2
  33. Exactly. The subsidies favour fossil fuels far more however with fossil fuel lobbyists in politics and media.
    2
  34. The fix is often simple. What's broken is the business model that does not want to fix it.
    2
  35. Renewables are worth it! It's the fact that they have small profit margins of 4-7% to exploit (and record low $/kWh) it doesn't look attractive for the usual suspects to divest from fossil fuels. The fruits of renewable energy are doomed to rot if we keep relying on the private market economic model.

  36. War on Sugar! The only way to fix shit up! It's not like there's any examples that show it could fail. You're either with us or against us!

  37. How convenient is this! I'm having a Kinetics and Thermochemistry exam this week.

  38. This video pretty sucked for something from TED

  39. That was proper quality there.

  40. Try "Just Have A Think"
    1
  41. Or maybe think how arbitrary it is.

  42. She still sounds thirsty.

  43. A logical fallacy would be to solve brexit and the catch 22 Irish border backstop.

  44. Just Have A Think

  45. Has anyone else been reading the book there? Still, which book was used for this animation?

  46. HELLO PROCRASTINATORS
    1
  47. Do we ever acknowledge how we valorize what were essentially genocidal evasions just because they were the victors from our history? We ought to be a bit more thoughtful for the sake of our history we leave behind for the future.

  48. A bit ridiculous to assert that capitalism didn't exist in 1801 England, at the time of the act of Union when Ireland was subdued as a colony
    1
  49. Not seeing any jokes about vaush in the comments yet.
    1
  50. We can't even democratically form our economics, let alone it seems easier to socialise us that thousands of people falling homelessness are failures, drug addicted people are criminals, and the dogmatism and antagonism reserved for climate protestors for jeers and profit.
