to be fair, political unrest and war are a really intrinsic part of modern human civilisation. look back at history and periods of peace tend to be surrounded, in the past and future, by wide spread violence and strife
True but I think we've always dealt with that and it's not as bad now as it was back then. At least we're not dealing with a possible neighboring tribe raiding us, or Genghis Khan creating a skull pyrmaid out of our town, or the world wars/coldwars/missle crisis etc. Guess it also just depends where you are too, someone on the other side of the world could be having a vastly different experience than someone in North America.
I can only retell my experience as a german: There ARE great people here, that try their best to improve but there are far too many who just give up on logic, reason and kindness because "someone else is a dick too". A very common excuse for their own shitty behaviour that has a bad influence on the entire society. Going the extra mile to be polite is getting rare but at least i learned to appreciate friendly people more that way.
@@ailospjellok7475then all we get is a domino affect of dickage. It sucks like hell to not slap back when someone whacks you one but they’re just not worth it. People who go out of their way to put energy into hurting people are miserable - I had the displeasure of being friends with people like this and they were always sad, angry, upset about something. Never grateful about anything in life at all. And they Expect you to be that asshole back. Maybe you subverting their expectations won’t change their whole life but it sure as hell takes a weight off your soul that they were trying to heave onto you.

I’ve been in that place where sometimes, all I needed was a reminder someone else really does care. Thanks for reading my ramble if you did 🙏🏼
Tbh it makes sense why suicide is the highest cause of death for those aged between 10-24 because you aren’t really going to die any other way at that age unless you have some serious health issue or get in an accident.
Yeah but the fact such young kids are even contemplating suicide a serious issue. I think modern society and the influences that the internet is having on people is a big part of the problem

@@snoop_dono1611 Yes that’s literally my point but it’s not the same for every age. It probably changes at about 50 I’d guess Cancer is the most likely cause of death from 50 onward and in your 70’s and above it will start to become other types of illnesses I’d imagine. I only referred to that age bracket because that’s the one Rift referred to.
On topic of the suicide rate along teenagers: it is important to consider why this effect is noticable. Are people more likely to commit suicide or was this buried beneath something else? There is a reason why so many people die of cancer these days, we know how to cure the other things people used to die from. Removing those causes of death exposed an underlying disease. The amount of people committing suicide (however tragic) does not tell the story on its own.
Society peaked in the 90ties. That what I have seen. I am talking specifically about the Netherlands here from personal experience. Job oppertunities. Crime. Terrorism, Cost of living. It is very very hard to get an appartment. 2 median incomes needed for a small house. What got better is youtube and ASMR :) Movies and music were better. I would trade it all in. The internet. Smartphones. Everything. It is like a lot more people stay at home now. This started way before 2020.
It has been scientifically proven that in some places IQ is dropping but it makes alot of sense because look at the stupid things people do and it's just getting worse. But the smarter people are Doctors and Scientists and Technology companies.
@@Spain_and_Puerto_Rico_together There was the Flynn effect. Intelligence was rising every decade. Because: immigrants had more time to learn the language and started scoring better on iq tests. Average education levels were rising. Less illiterate people. Command of the language the iq test is administrered in and education level raise your iq score. The test gets calibrated to get the average score of the population to 100. So the average stays 100. So they make the test more difficult when the average intelligence rises. Someone who scored 85 in 2000 would score would have scored 104 on a test of 1945. 19 points is a big difference. This growth effect leveled out and less intelligent people having more children starts to have effect on the average intelligence of the population.
I agree with a lot of your points, particularly on how our species is trashing the planet and how corrupt everything is with powerful corporations, etc. But if we WERE to somehow salvage the situation, I think proceeding deeper down the modern path and eventually developing solutions to these issues is both more reasonable/realistic and more ideal than returning to the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. I think an advanced society that manages to rectify the issues you've raised is superior. Best of both worlds. And unless something apocalyptic occurs (i.e. planet of the apes) we aren't going back, and even if we did, we'd just find ourselves back in this situation regardless. So I think continuing to advance is our best shot. Activism, putting our money where our mouths are, voting (which objectively makes a difference EVEN if our options are suboptimal), and continuing to have these discussions is all we can do about it, for now.
Electing people that actually acknowledge that climate change even exists is a good start. One side says its a myth entirely. NOT electing religious zealots to lead our society is a good start. Voting is fundamental in resisting the influence of all this garbage if not just to shut down harmful ideas like this. If we elect these people, the ideas perpetuate. Their ignorance will kill the entire planet over time. It's a slow, slow war of ideology.
Mondragon Corporation in Spain is what a more Anarchist organized economy could look like. Between the Zapatistas in Spain and Rojava we have "Countries" that are organzied in a way that Anarchism can look like.
I think society is deteriorating because it is becoming increasingly difficult for constructively thinking people to find each other and understand each other. Each science uses its own language. The roar of demagogues speaking from the podium drowns out the quiet voice of individual reason.
I think nuclear energy is the best option we have currently. While the waste is not really polluting or contaminating anything at the moment, it might in the future. But still we can safely store the waste for hundreds of years, and in the future, innovative solutions like space disposal could become more feasible.
Our society is not ill, corrupted or getting worse IT IS WORKING AS INTENDED BY THE CAPITAL ACCUMULATING CLASS ✅✅✅ realizing this allows for meaningful change and a political position founded in reality ✅✅✅
Even if I don't agree with all of your opinions it is very nice to hear your perspective as it can serve to help me in evolving my thoughts. I do heartily agree with the idea that individuals are intelligent but once we aggregate in large groups we tend to conform to a popular ideology and lose our sense of self and morals.
Have you ever listened to a band called Grötus? They talk a lot about societal dissolution from rapid consumption, environmental destruction, and other fun stuff. I think you would like them.
Perspective is everything. You can list 1000 examples of why society is declining... But in doing so, you might fail to realize that by listing those 1000 examples, you've also just listed 1000 examples of why society is soon to be on the upswing. Consciously being aware of the downfall is the first step to finding a solution.
I understand the sentiment, and certainly we have issues as a species.....but people are dying less to preventable diseases, violence is at all time historical lows, fewer people are in poverty now than at any time in history....IDK it's hard for me to get on the "society is bad now" train. Progress isn't linear, and hopefully we can continue towards a more equitable society.
Absolute lies when it comes to violence being at historic lows and fewer people in poverty. If this is what "progress" is then we need to go back. Screw equity also.
And aren’t clinical depression and suicide rates at all-time highs? Also, one could probably say that this country is the most ideologically-divided it’s been in centuries. The statistics you’re referencing might be true, but they’re only a few items on the whole shopping list of things we need to look at when evaluating our society’s trajectory.
@@G0alie14 Spoken like someone who has never stepped foot outside a gated community or questioned anything seen on your nightly news station or CNN. What your kind considers "progress" and what normal people consider progress are at odds.
I am partial to the idea that society does not decline, but rather changes. Just as socialism took the world by storm before people realized it sucked and it got pushed out so to will the existing system inevitably change. It’s up to us how much blood gets shed in the process of that change.
ER! Im always anticipating your newest video and am a huge fan of your content. I had no clue you had tattoos! I would love to watch a video where you show them off, and maybe discuss when, where, and why you got them done and maybe the philosophy behind choosing to get tattoos at all. 😁
Haha we love not special video topics 🥰 when I think about getting a tattoo it feels like a big decision but maybe you have some wisdom regarding it to share. Thanks for the reply I was stoked
I feel really bad for my generation since they are so troubled , I am 19 and it’s sad to see what we deal with and how people act. I yearn for an earlier time, yeah there’s always ugly in every era but some kids really don’t deserve what they got. I stay away from politics and just try and live a simple, loving life.
While more and more violence erupts, and the notion that vengeance is a silly and destructive thing is ignored by the masses, the best anyone can hope for is a constant, unchanging thing to return to. So that's what I strive to be - a constant anchor in someone's life. As the world grows more aggresive, we all need a passive anchor. So that's all I can be. Hopeless, maybe, but better than any alternative. Passionate action often leads to more violence, so I will be an impassionate and indifferent soul, incessantly loving but universally loving so that the temptation of revenge is never acted upon, in hopes that someday things will relax. What more can I do? Hurt and kill in the name of what I believe in? How will that help anything? God, this is all so annoying.
as a future doctor i have no clue what point you were trying to make with the medicine stuff, but regardless always love hearing u talk even if i disagree.
grumpy boomer talk again. and how things were better in the middle ages and what not. and a list of things to do "to evolve". thank you Tony Robbins. you're not unplugged from the matrix, you are just mind programmed to be a contrarian pesimist. love to listen to this regardless.
Philosophizing is always a purpose for those of us that really know what we are talking about, based on education and experience. But it is only a one way conversation. We know more than the rest. Pointing out what we don’t like about our ancestors and how we got here is good for relieving our grief and regret for who we are in the now. But philosophizing for its own sake is pointless. Will Uncle Paul change his life by dumping everything to live in the dirt, or will anyone listening to this look in the mirror and reverse their decisions, working towards a more primitive greater good for his/her surrounding humanity and sacrificing all they have to escape the lifestyle we are already groomed to strive for in our current epoch? Each of us is born into the surroundings in which we are meant to thrive in the brief moment of history in which we exist. Do not tear apart your own existence to feel better about your footprint.
Your voice and the way you talk and repeat yourself and hang on words is absolute weapon against my insomnia. It’s absolutely amazing! No matter how hopeless I think it is before I lay down , I put on your video and the next thing I know I have been a sleep for 15 min after waking up. Just the fact that I am able to slip away like that for a few min here and there , it means the world to me. I just wanted to thank u for doing what you do.
@@EphemeralRifthey it works for me brother. Your points are totally valid too , I have watched this video enough times to make it to the end. I love it. 5 yrs ago I would feel embarrassed even telling people I have ASMR triggers because of what people would think , heck I didn't even know their was a word for it. I don't feel as strange as I did before. Your videos bring me a little peace in this mad world. Thanks again for doing what U do brother.
A comment for retail in the U.S. giving maternity leave, here is an example of damning with faint praise. My store is very progressive because we give the most maternity leave of any retailer in this area, women get 2 weeks paid leave after giving birth to a child, no need to bring in the birth certificate.
Society is not declining, you are just getting old and tired. That's the thing, there has always been the same level of problems and gripes, always "the end is coming!" But it never does, does it Paul?
@@EphemeralRift it is not an opinion to point to the historical record of every generation thinking the next is the last. It's been observed to happen so frequently it's been coined Juvenoia. The world is not what you thought it was, you look back and see "degradation" when the only thing decaying is your hope into cynicism. This is not a strength and you are not as wise as you think, you are part of the cycle.
Honestly, seeing your comments, it just seems you don't want to add any information nor your point of view to the video, but only to point at someone's face and say "You're wrong" because it gives you some kind of weird pleasure. I do wonder what even is the point to watch a video for the sole purpose of disagreeing with everything (even though you already knew that this was exactly what was going to happen even before clicking on the video).
@@FranzDeitz what an incredibly tunnel visioned approach to discourse. Paul puts ideas into the public space, and in the past I've had things to say in response. Now he says things I find quite unreasonable and it's not some "weird pleasure" to simply have responses to it. Go touch grass.
I am kinda curious about your views on genetic engineering and modification(like current in the form of the cats with jellyfish bioluminescence, used to see if a cancer resistent gene), cloning (both in terms of cloning/growing meat and transplants), and other similar biotechnology Another question is there a difference to you between altering ourselves and altering other species, in the vein of modifications are made before birth so that there is an equality in consent departments. Now that i am thinking about it i remember hearing something about designer(as in traits selected prior to fertilization) children years back but i don't thi k i ever checked it out
Nuclear power is the best current alternative to coal and natural gas. The affects of nuclear waste and accidents is of no comparison to the impact of coal and natural gas. Nuclear power, either a molten salt reactor or a skimmer plant, they all are much much more complex than coal and way more dangerous is not handled properly. But what are the other solutions that offer more energy density and cheaper than nuclear. Nuclear is made scary and bad by media but I’ve been to some plants and they are not a bad thing. Coal is waaaayyy more destructive to the environment. You’re not wrong about the disaster nuclear energy can be but I think it’s the path to a clean and sustainable future. Dive into the statistics that are not from media and you will understand. Let me know what you don’t like about it and I will explain in much further detail than you will find from any article or media companies because I’ve worked in the industry first hand. Nuclear is a lot more complicated than it seems and cannot be explained in “basic” terms. Green energy is only the way to a brighter future. Anyway you should stop researching so much because you will just get depressed.
Yeah.. I didn’t mention coal or fossil fuels just because nuclear waste was the first thing to come to mind, and this wasn’t meant to be an exhaustive list, not an in depth discussion about that topic. But I do agree with your last sentence though, and for more reasons than just energy.
What do you think of taoism? There are some anarchic and primitivist parts. It's like nihilism with aesthetic and more chill attitude (although I am not knowledge about nihilism)
Maybe 6 weeks of paid leave in case of a pregnancy made me look up what my local laws stipulated. Minimum 16 weeks paid leave. Only six (and maybe even less) sounds criminal.
39:22 I’m curious…are you a 12 stepper? What do you think about AA as a path to sobriety? I’ve been in recovery for a couple months now and it’s been an interesting journey.
Sometimes it's the ways you don't continue to use more than the days since you last used, and how to appreciate those healthy choices and not turn them into another addictive pattern but a long term lifestyle
Although I'm definitely on a completely different point of view I do *mostly* agree but I'm not entirely nihilist with our current times. I think we have a window of opportunity to right wrongs but issue is no one wants to jump through that window, sadly many people nowadays don't necessarily speak. Everyone kinda accepts whats happening even when you "fight" againts it we still go on, work our jobs and nothing will change. Now some people assume that means physically fight but I don't mean that at all I think more people should actually speak out because too many don't and it just makes us all seem like a minority. On a side note: I don't really agree on your coverage on nuclear energy, I don't blame you because you witnessed the height of anti nuclear energy but that was a media buzz that now is proven as paranoia because we solved the nuclear waste issue and power plants are safer than ever and with fusion on yhe horizon the argument will be completely void. As for consumption of alcohol, tobacco I think anyone should be allowed to consume whatever they so please if it doesn't harm others but I do agree alcohol and big tobacco are very predatory businesses but I don't think we should get rid of the product but the companies behind them because alcohol and tobacco has important ties to certain cultures for example tobacco is important to native Americans and the Carribbean and south Americans who work tobacco fields as their jobs and a lot of them are proud of it because its mostly family tied. Alcohol is tied to many cultures and I think its important because alcohol despite the businesses being predatory but places like bars or pubs, their importance is so great that anything I could say would be a understatement. I do support not drinking it either for health reasons or for complete sobriety but I support not practice personally because I drink a beer once in a while and I do smoke a tobacco pipe. I know that could be viewed as a bias but I do believe like I said the companies behind tobacco and alcohol are what makes them bad because its predatory and has been for years and we've fed their pockets for years.
The fact that nuclear waste exists is issue enough, not to mention human error, faulty technology that eventually decays, and nature itself such as natural disasters can all lead to that waste being exposed into the environment. But the nuclear waste aspect is just one of a litany of damning things.
I get what your saying by cog in a machine, my gfs mom exposed me to it and now i am watching as we slowly are turned into human cattle and its overwhelmingly uncomforting when it comes to mind haha.
“We are not taught tools to survive” I agree Parents just put a screen in front of their kids now instead of going outside and going outside benefits them screen’s just waste time
I agree 🤭 we can't all agree because some people disagree with certain other people's existence and there's really no compromising on that. things didn't get better, we just outsourced the brutality to other countries. they only seem to be getting worse because those chickens are coming home to roost and the climate keeps warming up on account of all the polution.
“Our species” is like saying dogs and wolves and hyenas and drastically different ‘breeds’ or species really - roughly 1-2% genetic differences between those different species just as there is between different races. Sure they can have puppies but our traditional sense of species as not making mules is more a general principle than a rule. Look into BMP - bone morphogenetic protein. HLA genes. Things that separated mammals closely related. You’ll see we’re all … quite different. It gets wuhan creepy - they were clearly targeting other ‘races’, ultimately. Lots of lipid and membrane trafficking differences connected to epigenetic oddities. China doesn’t allow its human tissue to be exported, after all…
Is there a reason you mention nuclear waste, but not fossil fuels? The burning of fossil fuels does much more damage to the environment than the waste produced by nuclear energy.
Paul, I understand that past hurts have left you carrying a lot of pain and anger. I’ve noticed that you still engage in pessimistic talk, and I want you to know that you’re not crazy, despite what others might think. You’re just hurt. I believe that truly forgiving those who have wronged you can lift that heavy burden from your heart. With care, Thomas
Love the vid and the channel but for someone who identifies as a misanthrope you sure do seem to care a whole lot about “society”. As much as it is good to care about others and share empathy etc. this life is an individual experience and it is up to you to define your own experience. I know this is also partly the point of the video - but it does contradict your views on alcohol/nuclear energy.
Disappointed. I joined this channel to enjoy the ASMR that was on show, not to be lectured too on world issues. This guy has veered so far from his original content, it’s unreal.
Not new, despite your assumption. Love the ASMR videos, just not the societal politics. Perhaps a separate channel dedicated to societal issues may be the way forward - Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work on the ASMR front! All the best.
Well i sure as heck do not want to live like a prime hubter gatherer 1800 calories a day, all the toth infections, every single half healed injury, the women dying in childbirth alot of the time The absolute starvation, the ridiculously violent interaction withbother tribes, before the invention of toilet paper. The incapacity to sleep a full 7 hours sisnce the fire needed to be relit, (maybe) and the horrified face of family members becoming to old at 60 and getting retirement at the hand of some diseases All the ridiculously big piles of child bodys sinsce if you know the statistical history of "we only lived to 30" is becasue of all the child deaths The human sacrifice aspect of a lot of cultures The exposure to the elements in not insulated tents And finaly just the absolutely BORING day to day with zero entertainment at all Yes sure provided if i dont know about entertainment sure but i would never go back to that time for exactly that reason alone 😅 Modernization rules However i agree with the we are disconnected in the families We should not be separated from each other as much we are However all it takes is a man/woman doing a reshape of the school system to change it to the better Think if teddy for conversation of the natural parks Or more modern-day el Salvador becoming the safest country in the western hemispher, when previously ut was the murder capital of the world Technologys best aspect is efficiency and with better tech we can do more fore less Rant over
You should research & read more into Hunter-gatherer / indigenous society. It’s not all “nasty tooth infections”, disease, and whatever wise most ppl think . I mean do you think we’d even have GOTTEN this far if primitive society was THAT bad
While it's true that not all aspects of primitive societies were negative-like strong community bonds and sustainable living-the significant advancements in modern medicine, food security, and overall comfort can't be overlooked. High infant mortality, frequent injuries, and lack of medical care were major challenges for hunter-gatherers as far as I know Modern life has its flaws, alot of them you have also mentioned but overall, it offers better health, longer lifespans, and more opportunities for personal growth and comfort, and lastly I would say yes it was that BAD, it showcasing the incredible human spirit that despite that we survived Survive and thrive I would say are completely different states and I would prefer to be in the later like we are now PS: must say this as well I have pretty much listened to your videos sinsce nurse manly Always helps me sleep and relax Keep up the great work, this videos as well including the anarchy videos are very niecely stimulating Which sources to read up on hunter gather society's in your opinion BTW?
@@EphemeralRift Yes it is because it was bad to live in the wild that hunter-gatherers evolved. Suffering is the reason why humanity develop. It's like your video : if there was no suffering in you, you wouldn't want a change and wouldn't have recorded this video. Just like the hunter-gatherers. So suffering is essential to our world otherwise nothing could change and life would be without happiness as well. It's good to focus and take care of suffering to impulse a change, but getting overwhelmed by it thinking we can't be happy unless this or that has changed and all the problems are gone is wrong. That would be catastrophic if all the problems were gone. Because change would be gone as well.
I believe that the world is doomed because of a handful of people abusing the system (billionaires and monopolists). That being said I think life is what you make of it. I like your idea of personal evolution because it refocuses the daily struggle as something you "me" can work to better. My only hope is that people start thinking locally and fighting back against these garbage corporations.
i’m only 16 years old and just me tuning in for like 28:55 seconds and everything that he said completely just like i never saw the world what he is describing ab how the world went in the shitter and all that like i rlly think we as humans kinda turned the world upside down
When I was a young teen I took some time to ponder the nature of the world, and the quote to come to my mind was, "Chaos is natural, order must be maintained." and I've stuck to that undeniable truth ever since. People think the world was orderly before humans, but it was not. Animals would eat other animals to extinction, until they had no food left to eat, and they would die, all while destroying everything they could, and pooping in every water source they deemed necessary. That was about the only "Order" the world had. There was no balance. Only a pendulum that swings. When we look out into space, we see rocks colliding into objects, black holes devouring everything, stars exploding and destroying solar systems with it, it is not orderly. Chaos is the natural state of the world. If you leave your room and don't touch it, never in a billion years will it ever clean itself. The only reason there is a remote semblance of order that exists in this world, is because humans have constructed it, and desperately tried to maintain it. And just as humans created order, it will be by their hands, that order reverts to chaos.

Activism, putting our money where our mouths are, voting (which objectively makes a difference EVEN if our options are suboptimal), and continuing to have these discussions is all we can do about it, for now.
Electing people that actually acknowledge that climate change even exists is a good start. One side says its a myth entirely. NOT electing religious zealots to lead our society is a good start. Voting is fundamental in resisting the influence of all this garbage if not just to shut down harmful ideas like this. If we elect these people, the ideas perpetuate. Their ignorance will kill the entire planet over time. It's a slow, slow war of ideology.
Always excited to see an Ephemeral vid, no matter the context!
Mondragon Corporation in Spain is what a more Anarchist organized economy could look like. Between the Zapatistas in Spain and Rojava we have "Countries" that are organzied in a way that Anarchism can look like.
So glad you're back to doing these talking videos, always snaps me back to reality of the joy of being human 😑

I think society is deteriorating because it is becoming increasingly difficult for constructively thinking people to find each other and understand each other. Each science uses its own language. The roar of demagogues speaking from the podium drowns out the quiet voice of individual reason.
Hello there. That is spot on.
I’m gonna save this to my watch later because I’m genuinely intrigued by this title. Let’s get it.

I think nuclear energy is the best option we have currently. While the waste is not really polluting or contaminating anything at the moment, it might in the future. But still we can safely store the waste for hundreds of years, and in the future, innovative solutions like space disposal could become more feasible.
I remember listening to you when you first started. Or about there, like 10 years ago. You're STILL THE BEST❤
Love you man, been watching u since I was 12, now I’m 21

Our society is not ill, corrupted or getting worse

realizing this allows for meaningful change and a political position founded in reality ✅✅✅
Even if I don't agree with all of your opinions it is very nice to hear your perspective as it can serve to help me in evolving my thoughts. I do heartily agree with the idea that individuals are intelligent but once we aggregate in large groups we tend to conform to a popular ideology and lose our sense of self and morals.
Have you ever listened to a band called Grötus? They talk a lot about societal dissolution from rapid consumption, environmental destruction, and other fun stuff. I think you would like them.
No I haven't. I'll try to look into them though!
Perspective is everything. You can list 1000 examples of why society is declining... But in doing so, you might fail to realize that by listing those 1000 examples, you've also just listed 1000 examples of why society is soon to be on the upswing. Consciously being aware of the downfall is the first step to finding a solution.
But those 1,000 examples of decline far outweigh the other 1K. There’s no upswing, imo. Last sentence however I agree with.
@@EphemeralRift You don't get it, the examples are one in the same. By acknowledging the problem, you take the first step in solving it!
I hope you’re right
It's ephemeral riftin' time

Too late!
I understand the sentiment, and certainly we have issues as a species.....but people are dying less to preventable diseases, violence is at all time historical lows, fewer people are in poverty now than at any time in history....IDK it's hard for me to get on the "society is bad now" train. Progress isn't linear, and hopefully we can continue towards a more equitable society.
Absolute lies when it comes to violence being at historic lows and fewer people in poverty. If this is what "progress" is then we need to go back. Screw equity also.
@@TehZach1993these are easy things to google, but you wouldn’t care about the proof anyway so I won’t waste my time
And aren’t clinical depression and suicide rates at all-time highs? Also, one could probably say that this country is the most ideologically-divided it’s been in centuries. The statistics you’re referencing might be true, but they’re only a few items on the whole shopping list of things we need to look at when evaluating our society’s trajectory.
@@G0alie14 Spoken like someone who has never stepped foot outside a gated community or questioned anything seen on your nightly news station or CNN. What your kind considers "progress" and what normal people consider progress are at odds.
Thank you Paul for sharing your vision.
I LOVE THESE TALKING VIDEOS
I am partial to the idea that society does not decline, but rather changes. Just as socialism took the world by storm before people realized it sucked and it got pushed out so to will the existing system inevitably change. It’s up to us how much blood gets shed in the process of that change.
ER! Im always anticipating your newest video and am a huge fan of your content. I had no clue you had tattoos! I would love to watch a video where you show them off, and maybe discuss when, where, and why you got them done and maybe the philosophy behind choosing to get tattoos at all. 😁
They’re just tattoos nothing special
great video idea! don't let this dudes dull response get u down its always like that lol.
Haha we love not special video topics 🥰 when I think about getting a tattoo it feels like a big decision but maybe you have some wisdom regarding it to share. Thanks for the reply I was stoked
Haha thanks man I wont let it get me down
I feel really bad for my generation since they are so troubled , I am 19 and it’s sad to see what we deal with and how people act. I yearn for an earlier time, yeah there’s always ugly in every era but some kids really don’t deserve what they got. I stay away from politics and just try and live a simple, loving life.
I hope you are doing alright, my friend. We must become the constant we wish there was.
While more and more violence erupts, and the notion that vengeance is a silly and destructive thing is ignored by the masses, the best anyone can hope for is a constant, unchanging thing to return to. So that's what I strive to be - a constant anchor in someone's life. As the world grows more aggresive, we all need a passive anchor. So that's all I can be. Hopeless, maybe, but better than any alternative. Passionate action often leads to more violence, so I will be an impassionate and indifferent soul, incessantly loving but universally loving so that the temptation of revenge is never acted upon, in hopes that someday things will relax. What more can I do? Hurt and kill in the name of what I believe in? How will that help anything? God, this is all so annoying.
as a future doctor i have no clue what point you were trying to make with the medicine stuff, but regardless always love hearing u talk even if i disagree.
Just like I alluded to: the more we keep us around longer, the more people, overpopulation, strain on resources, etc
this was awesome ima listen to more of these
I never realised until now that ER has tattoos. Neat

Read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Short easy read.
Read 1984. We are on that trajectory.
Philosophizing is always a purpose for those of us that really know what we are talking about, based on education and experience. But it is only a one way conversation. We know more than the rest. Pointing out what we don’t like about our ancestors and how we got here is good for relieving our grief and regret for who we are in the now. But philosophizing for its own sake is pointless. Will Uncle Paul change his life by dumping everything to live in the dirt, or will anyone listening to this look in the mirror and reverse their decisions, working towards a more primitive greater good for his/her surrounding humanity and sacrificing all they have to escape the lifestyle we are already groomed to strive for in our current epoch? Each of us is born into the surroundings in which we are meant to thrive in the brief moment of history in which we exist. Do not tear apart your own existence to feel better about your footprint.
"philosophizing for its own sake is pointless" lol what.. c'mon

Your voice and the way you talk and repeat yourself and hang on words is absolute weapon against my insomnia. It’s absolutely amazing!

A comment for retail in the U.S. giving maternity leave, here is an example of damning with faint praise.
My store is very progressive because we give the most maternity leave of any retailer in this area, women get 2 weeks paid leave after giving birth to a child, no need to bring in the birth certificate.

Society is not declining, you are just getting old and tired.
That's the thing, there has always been the same level of problems and gripes, always "the end is coming!" But it never does, does it Paul?
Well, you are entitled to your opinion!
@@EphemeralRift it is not an opinion to point to the historical record of every generation thinking the next is the last. It's been observed to happen so frequently it's been coined Juvenoia. The world is not what you thought it was, you look back and see "degradation" when the only thing decaying is your hope into cynicism.
This is not a strength and you are not as wise as you think, you are part of the cycle.
@@EphemeralRift You don't understand the definition of "opinion" do you Paul?
Honestly, seeing your comments, it just seems you don't want to add any information nor your point of view to the video, but only to point at someone's face and say "You're wrong" because it gives you some kind of weird pleasure. I do wonder what even is the point to watch a video for the sole purpose of disagreeing with everything (even though you already knew that this was exactly what was going to happen even before clicking on the video).
@@FranzDeitz what an incredibly tunnel visioned approach to discourse. Paul puts ideas into the public space, and in the past I've had things to say in response. Now he says things I find quite unreasonable and it's not some "weird pleasure" to simply have responses to it. Go touch grass.
I am kinda curious about your views on genetic engineering and modification(like current in the form of the cats with jellyfish bioluminescence, used to see if a cancer resistent gene), cloning (both in terms of cloning/growing meat and transplants), and other similar biotechnology
Another question is there a difference to you between altering ourselves and altering other species, in the vein of modifications are made before birth so that there is an equality in consent departments.
Now that i am thinking about it i remember hearing something about designer(as in traits selected prior to fertilization) children years back but i don't thi k i ever checked it out

Nuclear power is the best current alternative to coal and natural gas. The affects of nuclear waste and accidents is of no comparison to the impact of coal and natural gas. Nuclear power, either a molten salt reactor or a skimmer plant, they all are much much more complex than coal and way more dangerous is not handled properly. But what are the other solutions that offer more energy density and cheaper than nuclear. Nuclear is made scary and bad by media but I’ve been to some plants and they are not a bad thing. Coal is waaaayyy more destructive to the environment. You’re not wrong about the disaster nuclear energy can be but I think it’s the path to a clean and sustainable future. Dive into the statistics that are not from media and you will understand. Let me know what you don’t like about it and I will explain in much further detail than you will find from any article or media companies because I’ve worked in the industry first hand. Nuclear is a lot more complicated than it seems and cannot be explained in “basic” terms. Green energy is only the way to a brighter future. Anyway you should stop researching so much because you will just get depressed.
Yeah.. I didn’t mention coal or fossil fuels just because nuclear waste was the first thing to come to mind, and this wasn’t meant to be an exhaustive list, not an in depth discussion about that topic. But I do agree with your last sentence though, and for more reasons than just energy.
You should paint a 40k mini figure.
What do you think of taoism? There are some anarchic and primitivist parts. It's like nihilism with aesthetic and more chill attitude (although I am not knowledge about nihilism)

39:22 I’m curious…are you a 12 stepper? What do you think about AA as a path to sobriety? I’ve been in recovery for a couple months now and it’s been an interesting journey.
I was always a moderate drinker and never got addicted so luckily i was able to go cold turkey. My body just said enough was enough.
Sometimes it's the ways you don't continue to use more than the days since you last used, and how to appreciate those healthy choices and not turn them into another addictive pattern but a long term lifestyle
Although I'm definitely on a completely different point of view I do *mostly* agree but I'm not entirely nihilist with our current times. I think we have a window of opportunity to right wrongs but issue is no one wants to jump through that window, sadly many people nowadays don't necessarily speak. Everyone kinda accepts whats happening even when you "fight" againts it we still go on, work our jobs and nothing will change. Now some people assume that means physically fight but I don't mean that at all I think more people should actually speak out because too many don't and it just makes us all seem like a minority.
On a side note: I don't really agree on your coverage on nuclear energy, I don't blame you because you witnessed the height of anti nuclear energy but that was a media buzz that now is proven as paranoia because we solved the nuclear waste issue and power plants are safer than ever and with fusion on yhe horizon the argument will be completely void.
As for consumption of alcohol, tobacco I think anyone should be allowed to consume whatever they so please if it doesn't harm others but I do agree alcohol and big tobacco are very predatory businesses but I don't think we should get rid of the product but the companies behind them because alcohol and tobacco has important ties to certain cultures for example tobacco is important to native Americans and the Carribbean and south Americans who work tobacco fields as their jobs and a lot of them are proud of it because its mostly family tied. Alcohol is tied to many cultures and I think its important because alcohol despite the businesses being predatory but places like bars or pubs, their importance is so great that anything I could say would be a understatement. I do support not drinking it either for health reasons or for complete sobriety but I support not practice personally because I drink a beer once in a while and I do smoke a tobacco pipe. I know that could be viewed as a bias but I do believe like I said the companies behind tobacco and alcohol are what makes them bad because its predatory and has been for years and we've fed their pockets for years.
The fact that nuclear waste exists is issue enough, not to mention human error, faulty technology that eventually decays, and nature itself such as natural disasters can all lead to that waste being exposed into the environment. But the nuclear waste aspect is just one of a litany of damning things.
Lets goooooooo new UNC EEEEEEEE

Many people who quit drinking will have sugar cravings afterwards. At least you're consuming better sugars, like fruit.
There's nothing wrong with sugar, if you have the capability to control what you eat.

That may be true. Except I’ve been enjoying sugar & sweets all my life lol so it’s not a quitting alcohol thing for me
@@EphemeralRift Oh! My mistake, lol!
I agree 🤭 we can't all agree because some people disagree with certain other people's existence and there's really no compromising on that. things didn't get better, we just outsourced the brutality to other countries. they only seem to be getting worse because those chickens are coming home to roost and the climate keeps warming up on account of all the polution.

Your right
tzatziki is made with greek yogurt! its deliciouss
“Our species” is like saying dogs and wolves and hyenas and drastically different ‘breeds’ or species really - roughly 1-2% genetic differences between those different species just as there is between different races. Sure they can have puppies but our traditional sense of species as not making mules is more a general principle than a rule.
Look into BMP - bone morphogenetic protein. HLA genes. Things that separated mammals closely related. You’ll see we’re all … quite different. It gets wuhan creepy - they were clearly targeting other ‘races’, ultimately. Lots of lipid and membrane trafficking differences connected to epigenetic oddities. China doesn’t allow its human tissue to be exported, after all…
10:10: "analogous"
ogous 🗿

Is there a reason you mention nuclear waste, but not fossil fuels? The burning of fossil fuels does much more damage to the environment than the waste produced by nuclear energy.
Just the first thing that came to mind. This isn’t meant to be an exhaustive list of everything that damns humanity. Yes fossil fuels bad as well.

I understand that past hurts have left you carrying a lot of pain and anger. I’ve noticed that you still engage in pessimistic talk, and I want you to know that you’re not crazy, despite what others might think. You’re just hurt.

Love the vid and the channel but for someone who identifies as a misanthrope you sure do seem to care a whole lot about “society”. As much as it is good to care about others and share empathy etc. this life is an individual experience and it is up to you to define your own experience. I know this is also partly the point of the video - but it does contradict your views on alcohol/nuclear energy.

Well i sure as heck do not want to live like a prime hubter gatherer
1800 calories a day, all the toth infections, every single half healed injury, the women dying in childbirth alot of the time
The absolute starvation, the ridiculously violent interaction withbother tribes, before the invention of toilet paper. The incapacity to sleep a full 7 hours sisnce the fire needed to be relit, (maybe) and the horrified face of family members becoming to old at 60 and getting retirement at the hand of some diseases
All the ridiculously big piles of child bodys sinsce if you know the statistical history of "we only lived to 30" is becasue of all the child deaths
The human sacrifice aspect of a lot of cultures
The exposure to the elements in not insulated tents
And finaly just the absolutely BORING day to day with zero entertainment at all
Yes sure provided if i dont know about entertainment sure but i would never go back to that time for exactly that reason alone 😅
Modernization rules
However i agree with the we are disconnected in the families
We should not be separated from each other as much we are
However all it takes is a man/woman doing a reshape of the school system to change it to the better
Think if teddy for conversation of the natural parks
Or more modern-day el Salvador becoming the safest country in the western hemispher, when previously ut was the murder capital of the world
Technologys best aspect is efficiency and with better tech we can do more fore less
Rant over
You should research & read more into Hunter-gatherer / indigenous society. It’s not all “nasty tooth infections”, disease, and whatever wise most ppl think .
I mean do you think we’d even have GOTTEN this far if primitive society was THAT bad
While it's true that not all aspects of primitive societies were negative-like strong community bonds and sustainable living-the significant advancements in modern medicine, food security, and overall comfort can't be overlooked. High infant mortality, frequent injuries, and lack of medical care were major challenges for hunter-gatherers as far as I know
Modern life has its flaws, alot of them you have also mentioned
but overall, it offers better health, longer lifespans, and more opportunities for personal growth and comfort, and lastly I would say yes it was that BAD, it showcasing the incredible human spirit that despite that we survived
Survive and thrive I would say are completely different states and I would prefer to be in the later like we are now
PS: must say this as well
I have pretty much listened to your videos sinsce nurse manly
Always helps me sleep and relax
Keep up the great work, this videos as well including the anarchy videos are very niecely stimulating
Which sources to read up on hunter gather society's in your opinion BTW?
@@EphemeralRift Yes it is because it was bad to live in the wild that hunter-gatherers evolved. Suffering is the reason why humanity develop. It's like your video : if there was no suffering in you, you wouldn't want a change and wouldn't have recorded this video. Just like the hunter-gatherers. So suffering is essential to our world otherwise nothing could change and life would be without happiness as well. It's good to focus and take care of suffering to impulse a change, but getting overwhelmed by it thinking we can't be happy unless this or that has changed and all the problems are gone is wrong. That would be catastrophic if all the problems were gone. Because change would be gone as well.
I believe that the world is doomed because of a handful of people abusing the system (billionaires and monopolists). That being said I think life is what you make of it. I like your idea of personal evolution because it refocuses the daily struggle as something you "me" can work to better. My only hope is that people start thinking locally and fighting back against these garbage corporations.
Make a video about the freemasons society please. If you have any knowledge of it

Not a fan of the loud voice videos
When I was a young teen I took some time to ponder the nature of the world, and the quote to come to my mind was, "Chaos is natural, order must be maintained." and I've stuck to that undeniable truth ever since.
People think the world was orderly before humans, but it was not. Animals would eat other animals to extinction, until they had no food left to eat, and they would die, all while destroying everything they could, and pooping in every water source they deemed necessary. That was about the only "Order" the world had. There was no balance. Only a pendulum that swings.
When we look out into space, we see rocks colliding into objects, black holes devouring everything, stars exploding and destroying solar systems with it, it is not orderly. Chaos is the natural state of the world. If you leave your room and don't touch it, never in a billion years will it ever clean itself.
The only reason there is a remote semblance of order that exists in this world, is because humans have constructed it, and desperately tried to maintain it. And just as humans created order, it will be by their hands, that order reverts to chaos.
