I like these different videos. I get tired of the drug addictions
Yep same. They make the channel. But Mark's studio is right on Skid Row and so he has an endless supply of druggies to interview.
Just interview as many interesting people as possible
Is you tired of the pimps too?
He needs more interesting true stories not 50/50 bs
True I especially liked the cuckold video , different and yet interesting.
"If everyone did their part, we'd have a lot more flowers, but we wouldn't have a lot more days" damn
15:47 to see the context, and go back earlier to hear how this is the last of his 3 prong approach to climate change in particular, and life in general.
This guy is practically saying what nearly everyone is thinking.... even the younger generations innately know that something is not right.... the older generations know without a doubt that things aren't right.... this guy is old enough and educated enough to put nearly all the pieces together....
Exactly what I thought. The chemicals and media that inebriate us are there to avert our eyes from the truth.
Not enough people are practicing his mantra
Perfect reply, exactly correct.
He suffers from a personality disorder. The amount of people agreeing with him like he's normal is scary.
@@Charles-ij1ow which personality disorder does he suffer from?
Have you ever asked yourself what it really means to say "ignorance is bliss"? This to me is the perfect example. I share many of this gentleman's view points and values and it has always been a heavy burden to carry, knowing that others around you are totally oblivious to the rapidly deteriorating state of our world, while we watch and wait with the gravest of concerns.
What a dick licker thing to say. Lol. Nice name btw
What a lame attitude. How about instead of waiting and watching, you do something with your secret knowledge?
@@TROll-oe9ngLike opening the eyes of all the blissfully ignorant like yourself? It's not lack of taking action on the part of those who are aware, it's the oblivious ones that are the problem.
Do your part, drive less and save more.
@@aronsreview9640 How do you know how much I do or don't drive on a daily basis? Working from my art studio/workshop at home keeps the fossil fuel consumption to a minimum.
He lost me when he said all we need to do is start following what's in the news about this coming catastrophe. If I've learned one thing in the past ten years or so is following the major news, 9 times out of 10 doesn't necessarily bring you to the truth.
I stopped watching the news. They only cause panic in our communities now. Honest journalism is a thing of the past. Even our weather broadcasters here in Houston are always wrong.
PBS Newshour is worth watching imo
I don’t think he meant corporate news. More like scientific news.
@@ThiccBoi23 the P stands for propaganda just a hint*
i think hes saying people need more media literacy, i.e. the ability to determine what is and isnt sensationalist headlines and stories
Eliot is anything but a doomsday theorist. He sees it like it is. Activism exists in acts of kindness and generosity, in understanding those who might think differently than us. The massive consumption of social media is encouraging a world of individuals focused on self, and not on community. Great interview, thank you.
I'm a lifelong scientist and engineer...also highly educated. Around the time when the fires started happening around 2016, I felt compelled to investigate and examine the climate data and I did a deep dive into the peer reviewed scientific literature. Prior to this, I was aware of climate change for more than 30 years but up to this point, it seemed gradual and linear. Not anymore. To my horror, I reached the same conclusion as Eliot. This was soul crushing. It took me 3 years of deep grief work before I could accept the reality of our near term demise from abrupt climate change. Am I a doomer? I am a realist who is responding realistically to the facts and the data. People in denial are simply too weak to face the horrible truth. Truth is, we will be lucky if a single human being remains on Earth by 2030.
He's a reasonable doomer. They're needed. They find scary things and categorize them within different value systems. It's good for perspective.
Isn't it interesting that the Bible already predicted all these doom over 2000 years ago, towards the end of the world? Then Jesus Christ said he will come back, completely abolish this current world and Create a new one where there will no longer be suffering.
People should not panick about everything going on, but put all their trust in Jesus. We humans cannot repair the world, only God will repair it.
We can do what we can here and there, but we CANNOT save a world we did not create.
Put your trust in Jesus, He is coming back soon to create a New perfect world and those only those who trust in him will be there.
My dad is a mathematician. He was a linguist in the Marine corps (just retired after 42 years in 2021). He raised me by himself and did a very good job. He, along with some of his buddies in the corps are doomers also. The stories and theories these guys tell when they're together drinking are absolutely mind-blowing.
I bet!
Example?
Yup, nuts
@@FeroxX_Gosu The story of how I met your mother😱
Yeah they sound like a fun bunch NOT
Hide the guns when your around these depressing bastards
Me thinking this guy was gonna be a nutter and then agreeing with most of his points…
Same here
Doomer term carries baggage. It's more like 'logical future seer'. But truly, as he mentions, it's already begun. And it's a freight train baby, you better believe it
Full on nutter
I think we can all learn something from this guy.
Yes
Not a doomer, but more of a realist.
Very insightful on what’s going on.
He's a save the planet nut
@@Charles-ij1ow The way I understand it, he actually thinks there's no saving the planet. He's more advocating for alleviating the symptoms of doomsday, rather than curing doomsday, itself. Although his broader philosophy seems to be, "just be good while we're here."
@@abstract5249 Yeah, I don't like his pessimistic view.
We probably have the same chance of oil and gas being the reason why we do extinct as we do becoming a space travelling race.
@@Charles-ij1ow I agree. Doomer philosophy unsettles me. It's such a defeatist attitude and sounds like the perfect sort of thing that big companies would have us believe so we'll remain complacent while they continue exploiting resources and labor.
But I don't think this particular man is in their pockets. He seems genuine in his beliefs, and the stuff he's saying is fringe and seems like it would be unfamiliar to the public at large.
@@Charles-ij1ow To be clear, just because I think he's sincere doesn't mean I agree with him. I very much don't.
Being too smart can be a curse.
I've been having these exact same thoughts and theories since I was a young child. And it's hard for me to understand why the majority of the human race doesn't understand it
They don't understand because they're sleep.
My opinion because humans are narcissists by nature especially wealthy societies. Also very entitled
So in other words it doesn’t make a difference if you have these thoughts or not, since it doesn’t change anything about the outcome. I just had a happier childhood then.
Same here brother.
Briggs Meyer personality types INTJ and INFJ are most likely to get it.
I started out with allot of judgement on this gentleman and this topic. The longer I listen I regret my pre-judgement. Great content. A thinker for sure.
Thank you good sir.
This guy is awesome. Gonna read up on his website now. Thanks!
I guess by the title I had expected someone lost in delusions. Im 12 minutes into the interview and he seems rational and insightful honestly
He doesn't even know what fascism is, he's a moron.
That's the scary part. He makes sense. Every drama/tragedy is true, high temperatures, war, etc etc. Maybe we are utterly screwed in our lifetime.
@@familygirlxx temperatures are NOT higher. That's why the terminology was switched from global warming to climate change.
@Adam Smith Look, I'm not here to argue. Apologies if I misspoke. Temperatures seems a bit all over the place to me. I live in Ireland and this past summer has some of the hottest days in decades. And this winter had some of the coldest! So I was just picking up on one side of things.
@@familygirlxx how's inflation over there?
Do more interviews like this one please.
Like Eliot I feel sad. Our planet is so beautiful! I'm an optimist but I have no hope that we can turn around climate change. We have gone too far, and human nature is what it is. We love our comforts, and greed is so prevalent. Art and music are such important aspects of my life. I have been an activist and now I'm working towards becoming an artist and living my life peacefully, and hopefully as a role model. He is so right- service, generosity and kindness. They make us joyful. Not stuff. He's right - I do feel a sense of relief listening to him, vs those full of "hope" who sound like con artists to me.
Isn't it interesting that the Bible already predicted all these doom over 2000 years ago, towards the end of the world? Then Jesus Christ said he will come back, completely abolish this current world and Create a new one where there will no longer be suffering.

Why is it that we see so many "educated" people have such a complete misunderstanding of the definition of fascism?
Because education is indoctrination and confirmation bias is a powerful thing. It is usually the motivational force for people to educate themselves on a subject in the first place. Or as David Hume put it "Reason is a slave of the passions".
In other words, most of us are full of shit.
The definition of "fascism" has been stretched and stretched a lot over the last few years.
Hey Mark, I really like the variety of people you are interviewing and filming. It adds another dimension to this channel.
Mark simply feeds off of these people. Nothing more.
Define what you mean
He's absolutely right. He's not a 'doomer'.. he's a realist.
He's a save the planet nut
But in connection to the Harvard study he brought up, there is a galvanizing effect in human psychology when you use doomer..
@@Charles-ij1ow if you dont want to save the planet when every expert says its doomed, you are the clown and the idiot. Whether global warming was increased bt humans or natural.
@@cyberostrich3460 It's being blown out of proportion. You can't say every expert. Here is the beginning of your de-programing. Pick any one to start with.

@@Charles-ij1ow Your comprehension skills are null. Spamming that same reply on different comments doesn't make your opinion more valid, by the way. Have a nice day.
I have never found someone who embodies my personal beliefs and philosophies to this extent. Literally 100% of what he is saying, I am on board with and have not found the words or courage to come out and say this to my day-to-day friends and family members. This video is a good reminder to live more authentically and honestly, and I appreciate that you posted this. Thank you
I am not Steve Buscemi, by the way, obviously. Just trying to keep it light lol
That all being said, if someone would be able to message me his e-mail to send a personal thank you it would be much appreciated.
the desire for what we consider to be the human experience will destroy this planet
For a person as smart as he is he has no idea what fascism is.
I had a friend tell me recently that so long as the authoritarian dictator in charge is "good", then it's not fascism. That's a relief! :-\
It is strange how the term 'Doomer' has such negative connotations. Such judgement is testimony to the ignorance and denial of the masses that is part of the whole problem. This was a beautiful interview. Thank you Eliot and Mark.
Doomer because it's just causing panic among weak minded people. It's like saying the sky is falling down and everyone panics. If everyboyd believes it, of course its gonna happen.
These sins of a decaying society is the same as horoscopes; use broad terms and you can always fill 'em in
I think the negative term "doomer" may have come from climate scientist Michael Mann. He is a corporate puppet and liar, giving people false hope. He was trash talking ecologist Guy McPherson and called him a doomer.
He's a save the planet nut
@@PhyrexJ "if everybody believes it, of course its gonna happen" what the fuck are you talking about?
This guy is a hopeless optimist. But a logical pessimist..Which is how we all should be; a realist. His rationality is truly what should be alarming to all of us, because it’s founded on facts, and he’s a a betting person; and he only will put his weight into things that will come out to be true.
And unfortunately, I believe him.. the majority of the population, at least in first world countries, don’t seem to ‘care’ and ‘gloom’ - which he isn’t preaching. He’s not saying to stock up your bunker - the world is ending! He’s deeply hurt by what humans have done to this earth.. and that’s true.
So live your life, enjoy it, and do your best to be happy, and give to others. And accept that we all have an end to us, because… that’s just the way it is. 🎶
Yeah I've been screaming this on my channel for years. Go sub. It's not about belief. It's science and data. You can't dispute that.
Lol , this planet has been here for millions of years , and will be here long after humans are extinct. So , it's actually backwards .. we are not the cause of mother earth's demise... we are the cause of our own demise. Which is frankly inevitable . Because just as everything else on earth does . Going through cycles is perfectly normal. So , whenever the time comes when humans no longer exist on this planet . The planet will go on . But , as many humans do , they think they are much more important than they actually are . We are a tiny blimp on this earth , our existence here is like a blink to the planet . For those who enjoyed what this guy had to say . More power to you , but I choose to look at things another way .
Well said. Thanks.
Realism is idealism. Or at least he is also an Idealist. And also a Liberal. So, Eliot should look into Materialism (philosophically).That is the fundamentality of reality instead of the idealist conception of reality because he's almost wrong on everything. And he has a borderline Neo-Malthusianism ideology.
He speaks a well thought out, logical truth. I agree with him too
See the book *_The Fate of Empires_* (It talks about the 6 signs of empire decline in an empires last life cycle). It is characterized by...
- An overextended and undisciplined military
- conspicious signs of wealth
- massive disparity between the wealthy and the poor
- overdependence on the bloated state (dependence on social welfair)
- an obsession with sex
- debasement of the currency
And here we are, AGAIN! TSK Tsk
Does it offer solutions? I already have eyes, I need ideas.
These signs were supposedly signs that other empires in history have shown before their demise and collapse. They don't cause the decline but they are hallmarks which indicative of it. That book was by soldier, traveler and diplomat, Sir John Glubb.
@@switzerlandful I understand, but facts can serve multiple agendas. I don't need more history if I already know the direction it's pushing me... I need solutions.
Just checking in to make certain you aren't a fatalist in principle. We need hope for change, not denial of our potential in the face of looming extinction.
@@johncaccioppo1142 "I need solutions" lol what an invalidating deflection, yeah like I'm sure you're browsing youtube comments collecting solutions.
This melted my heart. I have studied these things and feel the same way. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I love the range of people you cover. Amazing but people need to see the side of society as difficult as it can be at times.
I enjoyed Eliot immensely. He described humanity's circumstances perfectly. It would be a pleasure to meet him in person but until then I will subscribe to his channel here. Thank you, Mark.
What did he describe perfectly? Sounds like your average paranoid consumer of western media (propaganda).
Whats his channel
I actually really like it when you ask a couple questions to keep the subject on a narrative path to follow a full story. Sometimes they stumble into rambling. Great work
Thank you Elliott Jacobson for helping me understand the difference between Doomer and Prepper.
I wrongly co-mingled the two in my mind for many years.
After watching this interview, much to my surprise I have been a doomer pretty much my whole life. I never really paid much attention to labels.
You are one of the better of our doomed species, indeed.
I agree with you . I have had these thoughts as I was younger.
Hey mark love yhe content glad your branching out and geting different stories
Every pessimist I've ever met calls themselves a realist
Two of my favorite guilty pleasures: Eliot Jacobson and Soft White Underbelly. The convergence of these interests is an illuminating feast of self-discovery about existential kink and sapiosexuality.
❤
Are you in my brain?
I rediscovered you after your Joe Rogan interview. I’m really glad you’re slowly stepping away from the drug addicts and street crawlers. Not saying their stories don’t need to be told but I like how diverse these are becoming. I love watching the videos and interviews mature. Keep it up!
We are nothing special, we are a little piece of consciousness on a ride from order to chaos. We shape our own twisted reality
I agree. The ego makes ppl think they're relevant or special. Sorry we're not.
The human brain is incomparable though. It is used in the wrong ways
If we're as insignificant as you say we wouldn't be able to create the mess we're in now. You may be wondering how creating such chaos is a good thing, its because it means that we have the power to change things. The problem is that many people don't know where to start.
This man is extremely interesting and absolutely does not sound crazy. Everything he said is absolutely logical and sounds very much like scientists are even saying about environmental change. And the collapse of civilization would fall right in line with that.
I didn't know he was a total Kook. Read a lot about his casino risk analysis and videos. Smart guy in math, but really dumb on the street and interpersonal level.
I thought I was going to think this guy was crazy buy I was actually in awe of his compassion
I just realised I'm a doomer... Took my kids out of school in 2019, to Homeschool and we moved to a place where we grow our own food and raise livestock.! I had a feeling the whole of 2019 that there would be some craziness coming and 2020 hit! I had just quit my job so we had enough funds for the next 18 months. We also travelled 2019 December which had been so necessary! I shifted my engineering career from civil to environmental...
Wow, I didn't see that coming. He wasn't the conspiracy theory kook that I was expecting. This guy opened my eyes on many topics & makes a lot of sense.
You have to be a kook to believe that you should be prepared?
I Love the doomer. "There is no reason not to be kind." That is just the way Eliot and I do try to be a better person every day. It is hard.
Another "mantra" I've learned is: I might be wrong.
Thanks Mark and thanks Eliot.
Peace
Same
Also, allowing myself to be vulnerable & say - "I might be wrong" is surprisingly freeing!
I'm pretty sure most people my age (over 60) ALREADY think the world has ended.
I'm waaaaay over 60 & I can't tell U the way the earth has "ended " as I've known it in my day! It also makes me so SAD ; however I'm not a doomer any more than I've ever been. I've watched & lived this day that has come... I choose to have hope & positivity as I always have! 🙏 MY choice!
5:55 Scottish man here. We can still get ambulances, it's not quite that catastrophic.
However, I am pretty sure our govenment is trying to privatize healthcare so they can profit from our inevitable ailments (like the US)
While I don't agree with Eliot, it is very interesting to hear his perspective. His statement about being kind is the most important part.
I was good til he declared Twitter as now a facist media outlet
Exactly my thoughts. Elon exposed what twitter used to be, a big tech censor propaganda machine led by our government
Love the more varied, interesting people you’ve been talking to - to be honest if you’ve heard one junkie’s story, you’ve pretty much heard them all.
yep. Exactly. Most junkies are full blown experts on themselves.
dude that's really messed up. They aren't just junkies, they are people that are suffering and deserve help and to be heard. Oh and bet your story isn't nearly as interesting as the addict on my corner so hop off your pedestal.
If I see 'fentanyl addict' in the title, I just ignore it now.
Big facts but it'd be cool to see the same perspective from different cities even countries so people really can get a grasp of this fact
On Joe Rogans podcast, Mark said he wanted to stear the channel away from the drug addicts and do more of these types of interviews.
Writing this 9 months after it was posted. He said there was no chance we would pass 1.5 C in 2024. We passed it in 2023 already. That's wild.
Depends on your point of view
Just passed 2C for a few days - May 7 2024
@@Wilhelm4131Actually it doesn’t depend on anyone’s point of view
I can wrap my head around the topic, but If someone just comprehends their ideological enemies as blanket fascists or communists without it being relevant to topic detail, let alone those labels philosophies, it destroys my faith in a conversation's merit and feels more like an idealogue's soapbox of correlations
More people should be as aware as this man. Our entire society is on the verge of absolute collapse. Do not rely on the govt to save you.
O please he spouts CNN talking points like a purple hair college freshman.
We’re not even remotely on the verge of a societal collapse. There is much worse than can happen before that is even a concern. That’s just fear mongering.

Imagine if their was only 100 million people on earth and the accumulation of wealth was not the main desire of mankind! It would almost be a Garden of Eden.
Thanks Eliot and SWU for the interview. It's a good clarification on what someone who calls themselves a doomer envisions of the world.
As much as I appreciate those who have a breadth of knowledge, I find the lack of specificity here to be somewhat questionable. I'm not sure if Eliot came unprepared, or was tired in some way - and I get that he doesn't actively do research - but it comes off to me as being lopsidedly anecdotal. I'd recommend listeners to supplement this kind of predictive/future information from anyone (doomers or not) with the source research/material so your brain forms the structures needed to understand what is really being talked about. We need people, as Eliot expressed, who love humans, life, and nature. But we also need people who can grasp situational and ambiguous complexity, who can develop wisdom, and help form effective and robust solutions to mitigate the horror we are diving into.
Isn't it interesting that the Bible already predicted all these doom over 2000 years ago, towards the end of the world? Then Jesus Christ said he will come back, completely abolish this current world and Create a new one where there will no longer be suffering.

Funny how mark refers to these people as “doomsday theorists” but does not refer to transformers as “gender theorists” or some other variation of that 🤔

these people that are militant and block roads are the only people that truly understand the gravity of our predicament . unfortunately people never react to problems no mater how dire the consequences are until it effects them personally and by then its too late . the only way to even have any hope at all of turning thing around is to force people to see and understand the reality . just like having to rub a dogs nose in its own crap to get it to learn not to crap there , the same has to be done with people on a collective scale or nothing is ever going to change . its that simple

…if man had befriended native Americans…and learned from them and lived in balance on the earth…I think everything would have been okay.
It’s heartbreaking what we’ve done to such a magical place.
The many indigenous tribes in North America did not live "in harmony with nature", or in harmony with each other. That's a falicy.
Learned wars, inter-tribal fighting, kidnapping children, rape and murder? Take a look at real history, they were no less savage than the Europeans.
The word fascist is thrown around way to loosely. And linking it to the doomsday talk is mind blowing.
Things were pretty dire in Germany when Hitler came around. Now we have Climate Change, and we get Trump and Elon. Makes perfect sense to me.
I understand your comment Trump was awesome for America since Biden took over we’ve gone to crap. We had the lowest unemployment rate for minorities in America in history with Trump in office. We have low gas prices, low inflation, lowest unemployment, and all sectors. Things were booming until the pandemic hit And Elon musk took Twitter back and got rid of all the crooked people in there that were censoring information and working with the government to hide things like Joe Biden son. Have you seen the video of Hunter Biden snorting cocaine with prostitutes? I have any yet Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris are the one that put so many Black people in jail for small marijuana in fractions in the 90s, you Gotta be kidding if you think America is better off with Joe Biden over Trump. I’m not saying that Trump is some kind of perfect person. I’m not saying he’s someone I even look up to you as a person or his character I’m just saying as a president he did a great job And he did a certainly better job than Biden that’s just clear as day so of the choices we have Trump is much better and never has anyone been so relentlessly attacked as him look at all the false accusations I have never amount to anything. Remember the whole Russia deal that was a joke. Nothing came out of it.
Greed and power knows no bounds.

Did he seriously refer to himself as "super intelligent?" 😆 Smh
Yup.. He lost me then 😂
He has a PhD in mathematics
@@OCamp-gz8co just because you have a PhD in math doesn't make you super intelligent.. It means you're good at maths that's all 👍
30 years in college! What else could he be? I'd love to watch him change a tire or build a deck.
@@jakecarter4407 my BS meter was going off for most of this interview.
Edit: looked up what diplomas/PhDs take 30 years.... none. So this guy either took 30 years to gain an 8 year diploma, or is full of it, and gullible people ate it up. Either way, he is not "super intelligent"
really appreciated his conversation. Thank you for sharing Eliot!
@kat8436
You need a comma after "sharing" - otherwise you're saying to someone that you are thankful that person shared Eliot.
It's the difference between these two sentences:
Let's eat Grandma!
Let's eat, Grandma!
There should almost always be a comma before someone's name. The exception is in something like the greeting of a letter, such as "Dear Gretchen" as the greeting portion of a letter. (Hope this helps!)
@@lisahinton9682 lol
@@lisahinton9682 I’m a thankful marc shared Eliot 👍 is that better?

2:39 is when Soft White Underbelly asks Elliot (his last name is Jacobson) about his RUclips channel and website.
It’s weird how people who love the country they live in are referred to as fascists. People throw the words fascist and racist around so loosely these days they are starting to lose the meaning and seriousness of them. I may have listened to him more if he didn’t clearly mix his far left politics with his opinions on the fate of the earth.
Exactly. It’s projection.
I wish everyone had the mindset of “let’s grow some food”
I am very grateful to Elliot for sharing his wisdom. I loved his belief that at this point all we can do is be kind to each other. I'll add, that if we can't be kind, we can mind our business and leave people alone.
A really interesting video - thank you! Incidental: We were taught that the old exhortation, 'Carpe diem' ('Seize the day') isn't meant to encourage abuse or misappropriation of resources, but rather to avoid (by means of such lapses as inattention or neglect) letting time-sensitive opportunities slip away (e.g., losing situational awareness in a football game; forgetting that schoolwork's really best turned in before deadlines; not stopping to consider possible fallout from adverse lifestyles; losing a safety mindset while driving, etc.). (The basic message was that without something approximating an in-the-moment connection with the world around us, the task of making good (or timely) (or useful) (or societally-conscious) decisions often gets short-circuited.) In any event, thank you again for this interesting video!
I am sure many people (Like my self) intended to immediately discredit this man’s perspective. The longer I listen, I am certain the mind is touched and enlightened by seeing through the noise. Thank you SWU for posting this. ❤
When I saw doomsday theorist I assumed it was some Qanon type hiding in my bunker stuff. This guy knows what he is talking about and it’s everything we fear silently.
@@yup1579 those people have the louder voices, unfortunately.
the earth is fine but people are in real danger from the tiny percent of greedy psychopaths
Fascinating and very engaging interview - huge regard for Eliot's perspective and I am leaning on his side - greetings from Ireland
Well with the unelected Plutocratic Oligarch in charge of the UK (Fishi Rishi as PM) I'd say the beginning of the end has well and truly started.
The Tories have been crashing the UK for 12 yrs now. Dismantling and destroying everything, from crashing the economy to destroying all our public services. And their Brexit followers and supporters tend to also be climate crisis deniers, covid deniers and anti-vaxxers etc etc.
Don't listen to this guy. He's totally self absorbed and is a political hack. Basically hour typical braindead leftist who watches to much CNN
i went into this fully expecting nonsense & rambling but this guy is actually rational with his points
A lot of great points. The damage was done a long time ago, we didn't start it and we, the people alive now, might not finish it. Many people believe the end, Armageddon (the battle at Har Megiddo) is going to be over in one day. It took a long time to get where we are, even longer to finish it. It won't be that all of a sudden there's no more people, we'll go in groups.
It all made alot of sense along the lines i was thinking myself aswell. The horrible thing would be to see it all happen to others and getting used to it untill it happens to us all. gl nice vid.
Meh, says he not political, names two people he thinks are "fascists", says he doesn't want to tell people what to do, as he tells people what they should do. Seems to me is he cannot accept death, is deeply fearful of it and he is manic.
I was thinking the same thing.
Manic? How? Think you're using the wrong word.
Elon musk is saying fascist things!! Haha
@@gSWG3R paranoid is probably better. As are the typical doomers. If he were manic, he wouldn't be doing this interview or functioning.
The guy literally advises people to pay more attention to the news. That was the most defining statement of his. Who in their right mind would advise anyone, especially the young, to pay more attention to the “news”?
Because he doesn't speak in absolutes it's easy to stay engaged. I also love the framing of "doomsday" not being a day, but a rapid reduction in population. That's always been the realistic scenerio, but doesn't get clicks.
It's hard to be kind when you're surrounded by stupid people.
How do I contact the director and head of this channel? I wouldn't mind being interviewed to spread awareness on the effects of childhood sexual trauma/incest from my personal case. People need to know how horrible the effects really are, and I'm not living in silence anymore. My blood father was my predator, and sadly I wasn't his only victim. (Creator of this channel and content, if you would like to contact me, please feel free to reach out)
I agree with you about the devastating effects of the intergenerational replication of trauma. I am sorry you are left processing these wounds. ❤I wish you well on your healing journey. Check out Daniel Mackler on youtube, he directly addresses sexual abuse by parents. To apply for SWU, I believe Mark has an application process on his website.
Generally for RUclips channels you'd click on their channel, then about, and then email them.
@@Earl_E_Burd Thank you, I'll definitely check Daniel's story out. And didn't know there was an application process, but I'll give the site a visit and put one in.
Elon Musk is a fascist 😂 this really says all.
Right. Musk is the pioneer of free speech... unless you say something he doesn't like, lmao.
Thank you! I’m not anointing Musk Sainthood, far from it really, but exposing actual fascistic ongoings between government & business while allowing for more free speech, is absolutely nothing to criticize, especially if you’re one who wants to avoid gloomy outcomes.
Restricting free speech on Twitter is not prohibiting the disclosure of the location of a security-related person.
The fact that people use this as a spearhead to label him a fascist says a lot about this case.
If human extinction is inevitable then why bother with "saving" the planet?.
you wouldn't understand
This is refreshing. From the title and the usual stereotypes you would have expected an unhinged person but this is contrary. He is definitely pessimistic but not irrational.
My main issue with the guy is that I find it very paradoxical that he claims it’s not about politics, but throughout his whole message, you can see he has a cynical obsession with politicized talking points, pointing fingers at one side instead of taking a look at the other. “Both wings are part of the same bird.”
He's completely brainwashed. There's so much propaganda to make us try to live with less. So the elite can hog all the resources to themselves.
That's why Al Gore actually doesn't give a crap and spews out C02 from his private jet and his 5 houses that are always heated and air conditioned.
As far as I know January 6th was just Republicans trying to end America, and the election wasn't stolen.
@@supermikeb so we're supposed to believe trump stole the election. And under his corrupt leadership the election somehow got it's integrity back?
And what do you call the non stop riots for all of 2020 and the summer of love? That was all to help America?
Gtfo with that nonsense. Anyone with half a brain isn't buying it anymore.
@@col.cottonhill6655 The other protests were because cops kill blacks too often. Most of the damage from those was from white people trying to make blacks look bad. They were trying to make America better. January 6th happened when we were certifying the election, and they were trying to stop that process, which does, in fact end America. No too smart are you?
One bird, two heads
On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everybody drops to zero
You're breaking the first two rules again...
Truly a great message. Very level-headed points
5:28 “you’re In the bush trying to be a koala in Australia…” yeah man, I am, I’m trying!
