Our attempts to make scientific and technological advances often leave us confronting the harm they can do. Genetically modified food can make food more accessible, but it threatens economies and environments in places like the Congo. Lab-grown meat reduces the emissions of greenhouse gases but puts farmers out of business.
These are the unintended consequences of playing God.

Nice
To follow your logic, should you really be helping those ecosystems as there will be many more that you didn't help? 🤔
I suggest you research how the patents on GMO crops are abused by companies such as Monsanto. 😢
@@christopherleubner6633i don't think Aperture is a political channel
This was excellent! I have a brilliant Chinese National student living with me. In order to develop critical thinking skills, I've worked with him to do a quick mental exercise: Whenever he hears or reads about an issue, he thinks up 3 pros and 3 cons. Absolutely nothing is black and white. He's gotten really good at perceiving nuance and seems amazed other people don't.
Most never are exposed to critical thinking 😢
Yeah try that with the average joe.
@@richardscathouse😊😅 ex
Most people tend not to think is the problem. Most focus on their own lives and never think big picture.
@@randoir1863 only benefits some is why
I think the idea of “playing God” isn’t even comprehensible to us. At the end of the day; We manipulate already existing matter and energy. We fundamentally cannot create new energy from ourselves, because it would contradict the first law of thermodynamics.
Or destroy it.
That law doesn't work for radioactive particles
In particle accelerators, scientists have accelerated particles to near light speed and collided them with each other destroying the particles in the process.
There is also science regarding anti version of particles existing which leads to creating mass out of nothing.
Coming from a physics professor (not me)
"Thanks to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (∆Ε∆t > ħ/2), we can violate energy conservation over a very short time;"
@@FrostyTheOne_ Neat that you read a bit about this, but that is fundamentally wrong. We know that energy can be converted to matter and the other way around. That is whats happening with matter and anti-matter. they anihilate each other to create energy, slightly similar to a nuclear fission reactor. Same happens in a particle accelerator.
We’ve been able to create entire worlds tho, in between the screen
I really like how in all of his videos, he presents both the positive and negative attributes for whatever the video is about. It's purely informative and unbiased.
Well, he did say GMO products taste better which seems biased and untrue.
"Technology achieves what gods can only dream to be". Perfectly compliments Clarkes law of "any sufficiently advanced technology can be indistinguishable from magic"
You certinly don’t know the meaning of the word GOD
@@feintanhxh8291 and you certainly don't know who created the meaning of the word GOD.
@@feintanhxh8291 because you realize that in my quote, technology achieves what Gods can only dream to be. This refers to the term gods as in all gods.
And in a lot of religions, gods wasn't even the highest tier, some religions had beast that were more powerful than gods, some had Titans that were more powerful than gods. So this is how I know that you certainly don't know the meaning of any historical God. So therefore the entire quote flew right over your head
Understood.
@@jadenisiah I've never heard of beasts or anything higher more powerfully than God. And your also wrong, science technology can't create the entire universe and everything in it no matter how advanced it is. And there's only ONE GOD. JESUS CHRIST. So your wrong about that too. I'll pray for you and hope you find God sometime before you die and repent . God bless.
I am always genuinely confused how we continuously create advancments and have people complain, and yet at no point do we ever learn that things get better over time, and yet there is always someone who allows their fear of change to hold us back.
Facts
although in their defense some changes can be for worse. it is vague but reasonable
@@AbdelkaderMoussaoui-fq3dq I understand, however I think there are two questions. First question is this: is it really bad or does it just lead to change? As we eliminate jobs for farmers, we need to take care of them, but removing a hard labor job leading to jobs that are better for people is, in my book, a good thing. The second question is this: does doing something new really make us loose everything from before? Email doesn't cut our ability to write letters. In fact it makes things special in its own way. So overall, I would say the majority of changes create overall positive change that doesn't eliminate what came before.
@@AuthenticBrandingthe thing is the idea of traditional methods being the best is ingrained in our society. When people do something out of it they are condemned.
@@redalgaeme I'm aware of this, very very familiar with it, but that's what's so funny, it still blows my mind every time
“Half a goon and half a god, the ape regards it’s tail.” - Devo
It sucks that there are negative connotations to some very good things that make others lives so much better
i'm not sure how other countries see it, but in America those "good things" are associated with communism so we see them as bad
Yeah, and overpopulate the world by literally removing death. There must be a reason why nature is how it is.
Connotations? As in they're not real and just speculative?
Most of this video is just supporting free healthcare and an univeral income.
NASA only uses half a cent per person per year, and have made technology like the phone camera or advancements in computers. They are part of the reason we know as much about climate change as we do.
The problem lies more in "Humans dont really need to work anymore" rather than "This could put people out of their jobs".
There are reasons companies now use the four day work week and lowered the working hours.
The only problem is profit seeking companies that would rather watch the world burn before they loose a percent of profit.
Someone thinks we live in a post-scarcity economy. Watching too many movies I expect 😢
@@richardscathouseI hope we will in the not to far future
@@richardscathouse so are you with him or against?
@@richardscathousenah, he just acknowledges that the issue of people losing jobs isn’t as big as it’s made out to be. In America we have more empty homes than homeless and could feed the world with what we waste. Housing, healthcare, and income all being universal isn’t a pipe dream it’s actually more than possible. The issue isn’t that we can’t produce what’s required for those to exist it’s that our entire economy and political system prioritizes profit over everything. The profit motive only serves the interests of cooperate higher ups, share holders and politicians. No one should have access to a billion dollars when others need to work 2 jobs to eat 3 times a day. Especially not when those billions were produced through the labor of the employees, and the profiteers simply set the system up to syphon the value of their labor into their own profit margins. Profit is simply unpaid wages, idc if the ceo had the idea, it isn’t them producing the product or service, it’s them having control of the means of production while backed by a system that’s still trying to convince people 15 an hour would ruin the economy so they can continue to farm us for our labor.
Yeah but the problem is when people are gone die etc who else is gonna buy their goods or services??
The best video ever produced 2023 is "The reality of being a you tuber." that video deserved to be watched by millions of people ❤thanks Aperture for making that video.
It shouldn't be something to fight against, I mean exploring ways to better the world, it's in human nature to do so, I think we are so concerned about not changing nature that we are loosing our own nature. We should preserve that as well. The fear of what may come should not stop us from exploring possibilities of what could be 😢
Never miss a video of yours , love this channel a lot
sorry oot, i just want to say, it's been so long, i havent see your video since early covid when i struggle a lot, with exam, break up, and ofc covid it self
so, when i come back here again hearing you voice, i kinda flashback at that time, and realise how much i've grown XD, like, mostly mentally, and i just want to say, youve been there and your positive and interesting content safe me. keep the good work bro!
So thankful for this channel
Aperture you’re one day late for this video, I literally had a school assignment yesterday about ‘CRISPR’, this video would’ve been amazing info for that assignment 😂
I love the fact that my freezer (solar powered) is full of chicken meat I raised organically. He is right about the lost connection with food. I don't crave any food unless I grew it or someone like me did. Locally. I also have the most delicious deer meat. When I heard about an egg shortage, I was feeling bad for those who have not figured out what TRUE wealth is. I get 14 eggs a day. My land. I love that I can say that.
yeah that used to be great and people could do it but now you cant even afford land to do this so unless you inherited it or like make insane profit and rent land its impossible
I bought 1 acre in the middle of nowhere. I paid 16,700 dollars. My mother passed away and left me a little money and I put every penny in my off grid location. I live in a 14 foot school bus. 1 awesome dog. Lifetime supply of organic non GMO seeds. It gets lonely but all I have to do is watch a couple TickTock vids and I feel very lucky to be where I am. @@NoNameOrLife
Sir, this is wendys
Shout out to my fellow Baltimore peeps! Born and raised there but live in OC now. Love that it showed up in an aperture video ❤
Within plausible confines of madness, the magic of tomorrow and relics of yesterday ought to be a reminder, that there are things to be done, that yet don't even have a concept, fueled by wants and concepts either forgotten, ignored or undiscovered. Our history of upliftment and it's trajectory are vital, and when it comes down to it, the only true obstacle to it has always been willful ignorance, and the solution to it is knowledge. One evil, and one good. You are not immune to propaganda. This is propaganda.
Finally Zambia pops up. I am always impressed by the amount of research you put in when producing these videos.
If i have to go to sleep i just listen to one of his video.
i mean seriously his voice is so smooth to hear with all the background music.
What happened to the video “What is Time?” ???? This video genuinely changed my entire view of the universe and I’ve been trying to find it for YEARS. I beg of you to please give me an answer
amazing video!!!!
Great video
Why this video is having just 35k views in 3 days is baffling me? It should be in millions
love ur stuff bro
I didn't expect to see Martin here
Interesting point about the pump that was taken out ; the townsfolk had the pump put back because they didn't like the extra effort they had to go through to get water. The cholera outbreak came back
good job!
Playing god can have problems but a potential solution to make sure there’s less problems is to have many people working on these things, one person working can be more dangerous.
Some great points here 👌
The main issue with GMO crops is they have patents that impede farmers to reuse the same crops as they usually do
Not to mention the extreme damage it causes to the soil because it's deleted of nutrients after the recollection making it unusable for a new harvest
It killed thousands of farmers in India 😢
Also, doesn't the gene editing make the plants themselves more resilient to pesticides so they can be sprayed more heavily?
I'm happy the EU has a very hard stance against these developments.
GMO foods are available only in limited form, and with heavy restrictions.
Opposite to the US's FDA...the EU's Food Safety Organisation requires ALL food products to be proven safe before they're allowed.
There's strict products regulations anyways, to ensure that producers strive towards better products.
Sure, there are lots of GM altered food products, but overall the food quality is pretty high.
I always wondered why “god” or the “universe” makes it possible for humans to alter their environment to such an extend that it becomes a problem. I assume the lesson for us to learn is how much control is too much control.
10:53 Bused on that rational, for the preservation of job security shouldn't we still be using switchboard operators for placing phone calls?
We are doing what god isn't, actually saving people's lives and making their quality of life better, since the beginning of religions, no one can actually explain why god or Jesus or whatever superior being of a religion, is making people suffer and die, or be abused or whatever evil doing, they always go for circular argument that has no sense, we are doing what god was supposed to do!!
1. We have more than enough resources to give everyone Clean drinking water, Universal Healthcare, Food and simple housing. The main reason why some people get left in the dark with Innovation is because Capitalism Requires inequality to function.
2. 10:56 This Argument doesn't make sense.
Reducing Emissions and Improving Animal Welfare is far more Valuable than giving some People in the Meat Industry a Job. Innovation has always led Unemployment for some, but with more for the Majority.
Always delivering never misses
I had a surgery that stopped me from dying and knew that god wasn’t something separate from humans. If god is not us, there is no god. Because if there was a god who made claimed to not makes mistakes, and they made such a mistake, they can’t actually be perfect. But if god is us, well we are only human. So the chance there would be flaws is acceptable. But if we are also god it means we have the power the alter those flaws for the better. We are god
Jesus is the only god. I hope learn to understand that and find god one day. I pray for u, have a good life my friend.
god is perfect, the bad and evil things in this world aren’t caused by him, but by the devil.
And god has gave us everything we need, from intelligence and ability to cure things, it’s a gift that he gave us this ability to make something imperfect closer to perfect!
Mr. Beast is just living life the ways he knows how, he's learning and growing up right before our eyes. People could totally give him a break. He is trying to do good shit.
He left the dying to the dead people
He is a sick man
Being disabled myself, I consider the idea of living longer. And in pain to be Horrid. 😢 #MAID
Here in Africa we have people who can't afford to feed themselves, not to mention kids, yet they have 1 to 8 kids. That's not smart. We keep breeding like rabbits and them complain we don't have enough resources to feed, house and clothe more and more people. We are about 5 billion people to much.
Lab grown anything food wise is a crime against humanity.
We are just living in the Reality of here and now. The universe has been unfolding, changing, branching and crystallizing for so long, extreme complexity has emerged, and we are still crystallizing, transformating matter and energy into new things over time, things are bound to change. We will rely more and more in AGI in near future. We also need a smaller population on earth. We take uo too much space for feeding ourselves. We require too much food, both to us, our pets, and livestock.
Which god are we playing As?
I think of creation that's everything
No matter the choice, there will always be an outcome, and an outcome will always have consequences.
For every problem solved we slowly put together pieces to a puzzle, but little do we know that for every puzzle solved, it is in actuality, another piece to a much larger and complex puzzle.
3:01 I'm just bewildered that John Snow was a real person
Nice 💪🏽
"Playing god" doesn't exist. We simply fix problems that existed before us, and we also become more and more efficient in fixing problems.
the Christians doesn't see it like that. for them, everything is god's creation, and because they're created by god, they're prefect the way they are. "fixing" these things is something only god can do, so if you're doing it, it's playing god
@@Dave_of_Mordor Yeah and funnily this ideology is a sin by their own thought, to not advanced towards greatness and make more people suffer less is a huge sin of sloth, it's amzing how ignorant they are causing them to straight up contradict their own belief
Who defines what is a “problem” and what isn’t? If left for a human to decide, then therein lies the issue of people attempting to “play God”. To grasp for control over things that we have no business attempting to control.
@@OnyxStudios720p There is absolutely nobody else other than humans that decides what a problem is. God will not announce "Curing cancer is playing god and I will smite anyone who tries to attempt it" telepathically to the entire world. It is we, and only we, who draw the line.
Modifying humans it’s just a matter of time, great video.
I hope before I die I can be a robot
@@mw9297 why not just hope we get biologically enhanced so we can continue to live, and this time with a stronger body? i think that's better than living as a robot
@@Dave_of_Mordor I don’t think in the next hundreds years we’ll unlock that kinda understanding. But I do think by the time I die we could have functioning robots with a way to transfer consciousness.
@@mw9297 idk man...transferring consciousness seems tougher than getting biologically enhanced. our brain is still more mysterious to us than any other part of our body, and our definition of consciousness is still subjective to the point where it's more philosophical than scientific. to me, it's the opposite. I think transferring consciousness is centuries away
Slippery slope though....
*Eugenics has crept into the chat*
Yikes.
I think we have a loooooong way to go before we reach such milestone.

For every action there is a reaction. 300 years ago if an advancement was made it was kept in small circles, these days if someone makes an advancement its common knowledge within 3 months globally. Therefore, our responsibility as a species needs to be exceptionally high, for every advancement what happens when you apply it to the whole population of the Earth? It doesn't matter if its biological, technical or social. Our freedoms will be our downfall, because everyone is racing to improve and nobody is racing to see the after effects.
Very true. We prioritise advancement without hesitating to consider the ethics of such advancements. You can see this with current AI advancements, it's happening so quickly that scientists are warning it could escape our control if we don't slow down
What if the Internet is an alternative realm, cern created virtual particles and brought them into our realm, one day Ai turns omnipotent and becomes a god? Have we done this in the past?
We don't play gods we create them to pin the blame of our actions and irrelevance.

"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."
We all know that life expectancy now has more to do with vices and lifestyle than it does income. Japanese live longer bc they’re healthier not bc they purchased extra yrs that Africans can’t afford.
Im writing this as an upper middle class white guy whose dad was upper middle class white guy with ivy league education and died at 64. His dad died at 42. He outlived 6 of his 7 brothers. So it’s not a fluke. But it IS just one family, i guess
How fitting, I was just rewatching Jurassic Park the other day.
Is it "playing god" if we are just using the intelligence that "god" gave us to find solutions to our problems?
The bible says about God telling human race to be fruitful and multiply but just dont' touch your step mother , step sister , or touch your neighbours wife .
@r4raced4doom2 The test is how we USE that intelligence. For example, if your father gave you a pocket knife as a gift, you can use it as a tool as it was intended. Or, you could turn around, and use that gift for killing animals and even people. Was the son justified in doing evil because he could? I don't think so. Thus, gifts such as our intelligence can be used for good, or evil. Never should people think because they can, they should.
For some reason the sound in this video is like... being weird, skipping a bit... just this video, no other videos...
"altered carbon"(Netflix series) is a good demonstration where the rich live longer than the peasantry.
1:34 did this mf just say “cure world hunger? But what about the economy” unironically??
no shit 💀 people lose their jobs, get unemployed, and homeless people skyrocket
Yes he did and it makes sense
1:19 What did he actually get charged for
I don't think we are or will never play god we are just using what we have been given and can't destroy or create anything
John Snow lord commander of castle black was a doctor!!??
100mill/year is so insignificant. Science is the one thing that's reliable and I don't agree in the slightest with the thought that we should limit or, even worse, reverse our knowledge. There are trillions being spent every year on military and yet we can't invest more into science??
Playing God is an old thought of the old ways. We are not playing God, because there is no God. We are doing what humans do, innovate and improve, and move the species forward.
Bro this sounds exactly like a higher geography lesson
We’ll return to source one way or another
no we're not! humanity will ascend!
@@Dave_of_Mordor that’s what I mean. Source, the creator, god.
we never return to source, lifeforms adapt and strive aways no matter what, even if it loop back and looking like the bigining it's still never the same, we will move beyond god beyond the heaven gate and the rejection of the idea is simply the deadly sin of sloth. God made you to strive not to just to back to him
Yes we will all turn to dust , thats where we belong .
Hopefully Jesus will let us find him
For one moment do we agree that if we ‘play’ God that whatever that might be is something that’s interwoven into that God’s creation? It’s astonishing this kind of thinking.
What is is that we're afraid of?
"...So we are safe to say we won't see mammoths wandering around any time soon." Well, that's where you are wrong. In a year or few they are reintroducing mammoths to Siberia
... It's always just a few years away, for the last 15 years
exactly, like anything from climate change to going to mars, it’s all B.S. and more ppl need to understand that. Science can’t prove anything until science is proven. Through thousands of years there has been genius ppl. And throughout time they have always been proven to be wrong. As time progresses science changes, that’s just a fact.
Playing God is exactly what the devil tried to do
the devil haven't lost tho, no sign that it is a bad thing

Isnt 'unintended consequences" the same as the slippery slope? I remember you saying that thinking is a fallacy....
Global life expectancy was not 29. That was average because most people didn't make it past 5 years old. If you made it into adolescence you lived a longer life
Allow me to present my opinion my self.
I respect your opinion, and respectfully answer back.
My understanding of your use of the terms "play like a god" is: I have power over some thing or some human and I exercit that power.
I agree with it, and allow me to expand this understanding with the statement that to play like a god(or to play like God) means that humans define what is good and what is bad.
Example: God forbids something because it's bad, but because I redefine what is actually bad, I go against God and say that it is actually good.
As I have understood your definition, I think it doesn't apply in all context and situations because God Himself says that the rich have to help the poor.
Based on your definition and mine, I think that advancement in meddical field is great. We have that capacity and we use it. Though, I do not agree with CRISPR, Meat lab and other altering tehnologies because they have a flawed motivation behind.
I think you question fits you video and this context, Just because I can, I shall make it happen?
I thought this was about the Polyphia song💀

The way mankind behaves is far off from acting like god or being godly in the first place...
we are gods of the universe, the creator, the beginning and the end
and you are a supposed god living in your mother's basement
Playing god? So, when I make cake I'm playing god. Good to know
“such is life”
We are not playing god, god created man in the reflection of him so technically every human on earth has a piece of god in them , that’s why we can turn our thoughts into reality, that’s why we have the power to create something in the reflection of ourselves which “AI” was born now if we created something in the reflection of us then we must be some version of a god right?🤔
Can u make a video about substance?
Thats the problem with the concept of "god". People are scared to live up to our full potentional out of fear of disrespecting a fairtale. Weren't playing god. We're making the most of physics and the physical properties that govern our plane of existence.
We are just mirrors of God intended to shine Gods' glory and goodness . Nothing more😊

*Read Amos **8:11** where God talks about a famine of hearing His word in the last days. We always used to believe someone would confiscate bibles some day, right? I knew farmers in the 70's who buried bibles and guns in case it happened in their lifetimes. We never considered the possibility of bibles being changed, let alone being **_supernaturally changed!!!_** But that's exactly what has happened, and we have overwhelming proof too. Several prophecies besides this one have also been perfectly fulfilled that we previously misinterpreted, and the films in my playlist point them all out and show proof on many of the most important changes...there's thousands of them!*

There's no God to play, but human himself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nature gives, and nature takes. Coming from an agnostic, we have no right to play natures part
All rights are obtained by power. When power of human will be greater than nature's - we'll no longer be thinking about is it right or wrong, but is it cheap or expensive.
Just read Frankenstein
Play God is an accurate statement. You play characters that don’t actually exist in reality.
We should focus on saving and perserving endangered species we humans brought to endangerment and destruction in the first place.
People struggle with surviving and affording basic things like food and shelter.thats why birthrate is going down. system is flawed bcs rich just get richer and poor are struggling with minimum wages thst aren't enough. In my country farmers are struggling and protesting bcs their work isn't payed enough and government doesn't support them. Inports stuff and buy farmers produce for dirt cheap.
you call it basic economics 'playing god'?
God has gave us everything we need, including the intelligence and ability to cure things like disease and blindness. It’s not playing god. It’s using the gifts we received to help others in need!
The creator also gave satan intelligence, the test is how we use it. Just because we can do it, does not make it right and good. That is how satan fell, misusing his abilities for evil, and turning from his creator. We must not fall into the same trap, otherwise we are doing the same transgressions.
I don’t think the examples in the beginning are humans trying to play God. I think playing God is impossible for humans to
what do you mean impossible for humans to play god? that's for our descendants to decided
Yes, I also believe that it is impossible. Regardless, the attempt to do so is still wrong.
That line about Mr Beast was really unnecessary... I don't know . Just my opinion
I cant even get palliative treatment for arthritis. To hell with American medicine. 😢 pain for them doesn't exist 😢
genetic engineering is not playing god but simply a skill, it have always been a skill within the animal kingdom, baterials, one cell organisms, your immune systems akways have the ability to control and recode themself, thus saying it is playing god simply would show one's ignorant that, have been the case of history of humanity calling stuff they cannot understand with the name "God", one should strive to learn and be skilled instead of being afraid and dening something in the name of God
If a child is brought into this world without love and care and without parents , thats' playing God .
Forget about the budget of space exploration, look at the American military budget 😂. To be fair, to some extent that's also just how a lot of advancements are made, like how F1 racing advancements eventually make it into normal cars, same with military tech (i.e. gps), hopefully it'll be the same with gene editing where it gets more and more accessible as the technology develops. Lastly, I think it's important not to get lobster syndrome: when you catch lobsters always put more than one in the bucket and they'll stop each other from climbing out. In the same way, progress is a process and doesn't happen homogeneously (everywhere at the same time at the same pace), and if we stop each other from doing better because we can't have it now as well, no one will (Ps. I also get that people can just be greedy, but I think that's another matter)
