NEW VIDEO: When Will The Last Human Be Born?
🕑 Added 2022-06-28 14:03:00 +0000 UTCThe future of humanity seems insecure. Rapid climate change, political division, our greed and failings make it hard to look at our species with a lot of optimism and so many people think our end is in sight. But humans always thought they lived in the end times. Every generation assumes they’re important enough to witness the apocalypse and then life just goes on.
This is a problem because it leads to short term thinking and prevents us from creating the best world for ourselves and our descendants. What makes this worse is that we actually may live at an extremely critical moment in human history. To understand why, let us look at the temporal window of humanity and ask:
When will the last human be born and how many people will there ever be?

From the description, I want to take the long view and assume that since all generations fear these are the end times we probably aren’t in them. But at the same time mentioning we’re in the most critical point in human history kinda validates those fears may be correct? I haven’t decided whether or not to panic yet. I’ll watch the video first, then decide!

Really nice perspective presented here, that's is, if we don't annihilate ourselves until then 😂 Loved it!

Can’t get enough of this one. One of your best videos, among output that already ranks among the best of internet content.

What a beautiful video. With so much terrible news recently, it's nice to have a little bit of optimism.

May I please request that the chimp in the opening title animation who is always holding something different have a fidget spinner in a future video? :)
