This minutedeath channel seems pretty interesting, can’t wait for their next video
My favorite video on the Minutedeath channel is about the leading causes of death throughout humanity existence.
Sorry to break it to you but that channel just died
I agree. Learning about death would be pretty interesting. They could discuss likely lifespans, healthspan, slowing down or reversing aging, human decomposition, zombie insects, what is the threshold for being revived, near death experiences, how different things cause death, what even is death, maybe even more esoteric concepts like what is consciousness and could it persist after death, etc...
Meh this video is brainwashing trash…
i want more minute death!
They changed the art style?? Where are the stick figures? This is blasphemy!
Sorry - stick figures were busy on another project! They'll be back soon...

@@syednaqvi6314yea
"sponsored by Bill Gates" ahh, that's why there's no mention of the economic system at the root of these issues
Economic system?
@@squidwardfromuaCapitalism.
@@PJ-oe6eu Better alternatives?
@@squidwardfromua Sort of depends. I think what people mean or at least what I mean when I say capitalism is bad is that an economic system is too heavily favouring capitalism. No country is 100% capitalistic, all countries have a mix of capitalist and socialistic policies. Some work is privatised some is public.
A lot of these issues are solved or are at least lesser in countries with a more mixed approach than the US which I would say clings hard against social policies which have worked a lot of other places to fix or lessen these issues.
So it's hard to say where exactly the US would do best but I do think moving it more left would be better.
@@PJ-oe6eu I partially agree, but those issues socialism tries to solve are the US's price of wealth, innovations, and being the biggest magnet to smart people, being the №1 in huge amount of areas, for example, being much wealthier than more socialistic Europe. How many people and companies move from EU to US and visa versa? I don't know, but I'm sure one of those directions is much busier.
So yes, I wish US to solve life expectancy issues, but I honestly don't believe socialism is the way. Too many loses imo. But that's just my opinion, I'm from Ukraine, it's for you to decide 😘
I'm in the X Generation, I've got a layer of Lead on my bones, from forty years of Leaded Fuel, just sitting there ready to decay and cause dementia. 🙌🙌
Two thoughts: one, there are some interesting things happening in the life extension technologies/ageing prevention space, so it's entirely plausible that we might see a significant increase in life expectancy soon - possibly even tipping over into "biological immortality". (Where the rate of progress that adds years to life exceeds the rate at which years are passing).
Two, if you are not dying from preventable causes and living longer, the probability of dying from a low-likelihood event (e.g. accidents) goes up. If the first scenario plays out (becoming effectively immortal), then probably of death from even the most unlikely causes gets closer and closer to one.
If we were to completely best death from "old age" (which is actually a whole bunch of things), the maximum lifetime is likely only a few thousand years, at least for the majority.
It's an interesting subject to explore.
If progress in safety tech happens fast enough, then the low liklihood events can be made less likely quickly enough that the total chance of them ever happening is small. Ie given sufficiently vast amounts of time, the chance of being hit by an asteroid becomes significant. But we can build an asteroid defense system.
If we were to completely best death from old age, and maintain modern levels of general medicine and safety, yes a few thousand. General medicine and safety also advance.
Life expectancy for rich people might go up. In the US overall life expectancy has stayed about the same for about 10 years, not even counting the precipitous drop from Covid.
@@aimeem Yes, we need to address equality issues, as longevity treatments that are only available to those who can pay would only make that gap much worse. The US needs to catch up with the rest of the developed world when it comes to social safety nets, free healthcare, and generally trying not to create a corporate-run dystopia (a lot of the rest of the world needs to fix equity issues too, the US is just a particularly glaring example). A world where long life is possible creates it's own set of problems we would have to solve.
If I’m not mistaken, I recall seeing a report about how a major life insurance company asked researchers how long the average person would live for, if we managed to crack indefinite lifespans. Assuming we stay roughly in our early twenties (biologically, not chronologically) with no other noticeable defects or illnesses, then the average human has a life expectancy of about 730 years, at which point statistically some catastrophe happens, either we get an infection, suffer some traumatic injury, starve, or some other accidental death
Let's not kid ourselves - biological immortality is for the billionaires. We'll continue to die in the coal mines.
I really don’t like content sponsored by Bill Gates, sorry guys but this one is a dislike for me.
Life expectancy in some high income countries is decreasing due to overdose deaths and other deaths of despair. Would have liked to see that covered.
And if your in America, it's decreasing due to no reasonable access to healthcare for the majority of citizens. (speaking as one of them)
@@David_Last_Namebecouse ppl are faaat which is known to reduce life expectancy
Yes, thought it was quite optimistic thinking that clean energy is coming, public health will improve etc while all the large financial interests spend billions ensuring the status quo remains
@@David_Last_Name Yes, and think of all of the deaths from lack of access to abortion and maternal healthcare. I'm all in favor of decreasing the number of people on this planet, but not because large quantity of women of childbearing age are dying.
@@G36Kaers "ooh we're dying of cancer and pollution and crippling depression and cars running over people but don't worry all those systemic problems will just be solved by the very thing that created them despite the fact that it has shown no sign of even trying to solve them over the last decades"
Woolly mammoth related deaths are way down from what they used to be.
but not zero
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal…
The Source of all Knowledge!
Praise the Omnissiah!
please stop partnering with bill gates
I feel like like the scientific rigor this time was off your usual mark.
As far as I know:
1. Despite clear links between obesity and high-processed food, it has not been conclusively established that high-processed food is THE cause of obesity epidemic
2. Evidence for effectiveness of education campaigns on the obesity is very mixed
3. Encroaching into new habitats as a significant risk of a pandemic is far from universally accepted
You usually presented things as facts, only when they are clear scientific consensus
What, then, is the cause of the obesity epidemic? What else logically would it be from? Obesity is a result of eating too much (except in rare cases like medical conditions or medication side effects). In America especially, there is so much access to food and high-caloric food in particular. It's obvious that unhealthy eating habits cause obesity, just like smoking causes cancer.
@@matthewcrome5835
It was not at all obvious that smoking caused cancer. It took a famously long time first to notice that and then to prove it. Like actual centuries
I mean the last pandemic looks like it was made in a lab, the next one could be too.
look at who financed the video...
@@matthewcrome5835 I'd recon a major cause of obesity is the fact that we live increasingly sedentary lifestyles, with less reasons to leave the house.
technically science has pretty much already solved the climate crisis, all the tech and resources exist already but for humanity to actually take action we'd need to basically dismantle capitalism otherwise all the rich people behind the most polluting industries will keep being able to push back against every solution
but of course a channel that takes money from bill gates would never say that quiet part out loud
suppose we did do that, what other economic system would replace capitalism? capitalism has flaws, but it's better than the other systems
Oh yeah, let's just forcefully take away ownership from lawful citizens who have worked their whole lives to build America's most important and beneficial industries, and just "dismantle" it all, or put it all in the hands of a central group of politicians or climate scientists who are gonna "fix it all" even though they know nothing about what it takes to run a successful business. That sounds like a great idea for destroying a country. It actually sounds pretty much exactly like what happened in the USSR. Great success story
If your climate solution involves dissolving the entire world economy then you are not serious about climate change.
The only feasible way to undo capitalism unfortunately is to invent something better that outcompetes it.
So far, nordic countries seem to be the closest, though social democracy is still a form of capitalism.
Of course, if the new system treats everyone better and saves the planet, does it matter that it's still technically a subcategory of capitalism?
Surprised there was no mention of 'deaths of despair'; suicide and other consequences from its causes
less surprising when you looked at who funded the video (it's someone who profits from the very thing that causes those deaths of despair)
I would not be associating with (admitted friend of Jeffery Epstien ) Bill Gates.
One thing worth mentioning: violent deaths are actually decreasing
where? in the wealthy countries maybe, but there's still a LOT of human-caused violence all over.
@@alveolate I am talking overall. Checkout War and Violence on Our World in Data.
We are in a mass extinction right now and I am freaking out.
But not of humans. Humans are thriving.
Oh just wait.
don't worry, the billionaire funded videos can tell you exactly why everything's going to be fine
They just want us to not stop what they are doing. We can't let them keep burning those fossil fuels. There is never s point of no return. They want you to think it's not real is its over or its being stopped. They want only money. Not a future.
Eh, longer healthspan seems more attractive to me. Sure they can exist in tandem to an extent, but not always proportionally so. Curing all diseases (including addressing mental health) and tackling ageing are definitely part of the equation. But the planet needs to remain livable. Access to resources not just for the ultra wealthy, but for everyone. Being biologically immortal in a dystopic society sounds like a very bad deal for the average human, be it they the immortals or the tyrants in power.
That's why we should push so hard for longevity research. Humanity will resolve the problem of aging sooner or later, but it would be cool if me or you reading this could benefit form it before aging gets us too. After that, all we have to do is avoid accident-related death for a few years until mind-uploading technology develops. It's extremely hard to die if you are a computer program. Of course there is always the heat death of the universe that might get us, but I'd be really surprised if humanity didn't solve this issue for the next few quadrilion years.
Please no, i'm all for like 200 year lifespans but if we invent immortality it's going to be cruelty squad. No one will have goals, no ambitions, no fun, everything would be shit.
"The living organism, in a situation determined by the play of energy on the surface of the globe, ordinarily receives more energy than is necessary for maintaining life; the excess energy (wealth) can be used for the growth of a system (e.g., an organism); if the system can no longer grow, or if the excess cannot be completely absorbed in it's growth, it must necessarily be lost without profit; it must be spent, willingly or not, gloriously or catastrophically."
- Georges Bataille
It's quite sad to hear that the only thing that gives your life a goal is death. @@Eric0225
@@Eric0225 ambitions, goals and fun aren't mutually exclusive with immortality whatsoever.
I think you've taken this quote a bit too seriously.
Sure, some things would get boring over time, but have you ever returned to doing something you got bored of and found it fun again?
Yeah, you certainly have. We won't be bored forever.
@@rikuleinonen you will lol, at one point you will have done everything infinitely. Just accept death, cherish your memories, make new memories, try new things. Without death there is no purpose, without death there is no growth, without growth there is too much energy, which as George battailes states: must be spent willingly or unwillingly, gloriously or catastrophically.
Picture this, you're immortal, after a few million years you've done and tried everything in the universe, it gets boring, you've fucked the hottest person around a million times already, been bungee jumping way too much, solved all the mysteries the universe has and so much more. You would go insane, everyone would go insane, in a desperate bid you try anything to make life meaningful again, but you fail, you spend the rest of your immortal life with no purpose no drive no growth. Yet to regain these traits you must shed your immortality. At this point, the value of life is negative.
Without death, there is no purpose in life, finite life means you appreciate it more. Watch Pyrocynical's cruelty squad, it perfectly explains this.
@@rikuleinonenyeah I never got that sentiment. And even if a person doesn't want to live forever because of said reasons. They always have the option to self terminate. Goals and ambitions are always there when competition is there.
Longer lifespan at the expense of quality of life is quite the discussion topic
They usually increase in tandem. He doesn't mention that what kills us in the future might not get around to it for a very long time, if aging is completely eliminated some day.
As the comment above says, they go in tandem. Better QOL = longer lifespan. One exception would be immortality. If we were to become immortal, everything would be shit. You would have no goals in life, you wouldn't be able to cherish your memories and you would be bored to shit, so bored in fact, you'll probably take every drug in the world to get high, you would mow down immortal people because there is no kick in anything, you would bust your balls, you would bust someone else's balls, you would literally do everything the world offers, a million times over, until you and everyone around you goes insane.

@@theperson4yearsago565thats neither confirmable or deniable so I will continue to assume there isn't until a true way to prove its existance.

1 I'm non-religious not athiest.
2 I don't understand why those of faith are so pushy about believing in an afterlife when its neither confirmable or deniable thus I have no reason to care for either side.
3 I will now ignore your reply because this truly doesn't bother me whether an afterlife exists or not just trying to see if you would be less pushy of faith onto others and as I can see no, no you seem to not be able to(sorry if im rude)
.
Edit: The only reason for this second reply is due to your use of the phrase "must have faith" its commonly used to try to trick people into thinking thats the only narrative when there are more than 2 sides(religion v atheism) theres also the third side who just wants both sides to stop telling them what to believe.

I mean, I get the point of the video, showing how as we learn and develop, the very concept of death changes. But, in all fairness, this development of science and technology is not exempt of who it excludes in both creation and application. I’m from Brazil, a country which just recently (past 25 years) got rid of some of its misery, but in the world much of the population still die from “old types of death”, which are only truly old in the eyes of imperialist countries too focused on themselves.
just got to the end and learned that this video was sponsored by a billionaire… figures
@@felipescalisegaspar6801 a billionaire who's dedicated the last couple decades of his life to improve the lives of people in the global south.
Yes, the fact that billionaires exist at all is a testament to how broken our system is, but if all the billionaires were more like gates, maybe the world wouldn't be such a shitshow
@@ButzPunk I understand where you come from, however, as a citizen of the global south (although far from the most marginal of countries), I can say that we do not want the false philanthropy of those who accumulated promiscuous amounts of wealth. The good intentions of these people mean nothing to me.
I want decolonial, self determination and true freedom for my country and all countries that are seen as lesser or in need of help. Our overcoming is OURS.

@@felipescalisegaspar6801 it doesn't have to be one or the other right? We can keep the good aspects of what the gates foundation does, but get rid of the bad systems that allow inequality to persist
2:44 is the medical cross blurry to avoid actually breaking the geneva conventions?
Notice how, when "Bill" is sponsoring, we will "science" our way out of trouble instead of changing the system that lets him be the modern equivalent of a benevolent feudal lord.
Yeah, when they said “we can science our way out” I was afraid of this being a sponsored video similar to those of kurzgesagt, turns out it was :/
Notice how they said "novel new viruses" but the last big one is all but confirmed to be made in a lab funded by the US government. We sciece'd our way into that one it seems.
Is there some particular issue you notice with this video? It doesn't market any products tied to Bill Gates, and its message doesn't appear incongruous with non-partnership videos on the channel. I'm genuinely curious if there's some counterpoint you would like to share, or if you're just expressing your frustration with the choice of sponsor.
@valdonchev7296 you know bill gates has sinister plans for population reduction and he is currently the biggest land owner of farm land. Maybe do ur research
ok, change the system to what to prevent this?
I'm disappointed. Learned absolutely nothing from this video. The effort is on par to an AI generated essay.

2:49 At least you admit it honestly, unlike many youtubers.
Bill Gates? Gross.
Honestly it’s interesting to imagine that people in the future might be dying from something we can’t even conceive of, or simply never thought possible, like with cars not being something ancient people ever could've thought of
Another interesting thought is how starvation was a big cause of death in the past, but nowadays we have the opposite problem, being overweight
We're gonna die of giant tentacles on the future
The death of Bridget Driscoll was possibly the first recorded death from a moving vehicle. The coroner, Percy Morrison, is quoted as having said that he hoped “such a thing would never happen again.”
There will never stop being new ways to die.
Ancient people did not specifically think of cars, but they did have vehicular casualties. Animal-drawn carts have been in use since at least 4000 BC, and the first person to use one was probably aware that injury could occur from being trampled by the draft animal or getting in the way of the wheel.
Remember also when Achilles dragged Hector's corpse behind his chariot, though that was no accident.

Expected it to at least address the quality of life aspect of growing old. I had my great grandparents live to be 90+ and I know better than to hope to live that long.
There’s no evidence to suggest a larger percentage of people will die from war or natural disaster in the future. Since WWII, wars between large countries have been incredibly rare and a lower % of people have died in war in the last 70 years than at any other time in history. As for natural disasters, our ability to predict, respond to, and withstand (through modern infrastructure) has never been higher and continues to improve
oh look, climate denial
Bah, cleaner forms of energy showing self driving cars instead of trains is so sad😢
why would bill gates finance videos talking about trains over self driving cars ? he has much less to gain from trains than cars
An unusual topic, thanks for creating it.
I miss the stick figures
Same.
same
the bill gates jumpscare at the end 😭
So as medicine improves, will the causes of death get increasingly bad-ass?
Love the new animation ❤️
The "increasing age related deaths" assumes that antiaging medicine doesn't become a thing. The increasing extreme weather deaths is dubious, as our increasingly high tech civilization is getting better at predicting extreme weather and protecting people from it. The water scarcity wars thing ignores that desalination tech is advancing to the point of being practical, still pricey but much cheaper than war. No category for "some highly modified mind upload that is arguably still that person survives until heat death of the universe".

Embrace cybernetics and digital consciousness. We are the way of the future. If you wish to live forever, the only way out is to stop being human. You know this to be true. ;)
I have no need to live forever through half measures and machines, I will already live forever through the biosphere I am part of. When I die, my body will return to the soil, nourishing the roots of the trees I have lived beside for decades, who gave me air and received my air in turn. Those natural allies who grounded me and held the space, they are a greater part of me that I am destined to return to. I have no fear of the great beyond, nor any desire to hide from it.
"I died as mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was human,
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die human,
To soar with angels blessed above.
And when I sacrifice my angel soul
I shall become what no mind ever conceived.
As a human, I will die once more,
Reborn, I will with the angels soar.
And when I let my angel body go,
I shall be more than mortal mind can know."

You went all out but missed the most important plausible and alarming possible cause of death in the near future- SOIL DEGREDATION+Population outburst
Really? Once soil degradation used to be a real thing. Then we figured out that it was mostly plants running out of nitrogen, so we added extra nitrogen. (Also some potassium and phosphorus too)
Can you explain why you expect soil to degrade into an unfarmable state, despite modern scientific biochemistry spraying chemicals at it in an attempt to make it farmable?
The fact that plants can grow in hydroponic conditions with just water and a few nutrients suggests we have identified all the components needed for plants to grow.
Soil is complicated. But evolution selected plants to grow in as wide a range of conditions as possible. There are a few nutrients plants need, if they get those they are fine.
@@donaldhobson8873 Adding things artificially is obviously just a patch up job and wont last long term (more than 1-2 generations).
And beyond all these nitrogen and pottasium, the earth's top soil contains so much microrganisms which make everything work seamlessly, and we are completely losing the organisms diversity and making them go extinct unknowingly.
I invite you to search about the Save Soil movement🙏

Why should I fear a meeting with death? By necessity when death arrives I will already be gone...
I hope we never discover immortality - that would be the end of humanity. We are driven by our mortality, both evolutionary and as a motive to achieve as much as we can in the time given.
Nah, immortality's problem isn't laziness, that sounds awesome. If people feel they want to do something they will, if they don't, they won't and since we are immortal it probably won't affect us that badly. The true problem of immortality is that people won't die, but they can still be born and overpopulation is already a problem as is.
nice aliens!
In Africa people still die from hunger and disease and polluted water in India the Ganges River a holy River people still bathe even though it is dense per squared polluted beyond repair
do you think bill gates cares about people in the global south ?
@@anarchosnowflakist786 it's not his problem
I Tuned Out After 30 Seconds Of The Video. Everytime I Talk To Someone In Their 80s && 90s They Tell Me People Aren't As Sick As They Are Now, So Either They're Lying Or The Science/Medical Field Is.
Imagine someone dying because of lack of clean water
There is no need to imagine it, it is happening in this very moment in many underdeveloped countries...
@@claudioclaudio7953don't forget about Flint, Michigan as well

NOOO!!! NOT THE BUDGET INCREASE!
look at where that budget came from too
Fire war and disease are the modern ways people are going to die? Also tuberculosis is still a huge problem in modern times and the ball is being dropped.
This art style is better than the former
the new animation looks bit weird
It's so cool that death will be way different in the future and awesome video MinuteEarth :]
"Everyone is going to die."
Pssht... not for me. Pass! 😅
You left out the possibility that we solve aging and become immortal.
Doom is coming..
I don’t think that’s how you use the skull emoji…
Good stuff. Except AI revolt is just as fantasy as zombie apocalypse or alien invasion.
