So when you hover the mouse over the thumbnail of a video, the thumbnail will display the video playing for a bit without sound but with the captions on. When I did that for this video, the captions lead with "this video is brought to you by brilliant wars around the world" lol
🙂🙂
That is, in all technicality, true.
gotta remember if you can't make money during war then your are just crap at business
@yBuff_0 I don't know if I'd characterize Putin's war in Ukraine - or "special military operation" - as brilliant. Lol
@@TheAmericanPrometheus No war is brilliant, except for the ones protecting humanity (ww2). But even those should never have been able to start in the first place by the aggressors.
How?
De-militarize the entire globe.
How?
One-World-Gov.
How? Idk, but it is not impossible.
If you’re against a one-world-gov and still want a world without wars, I humbly challenge a better idea of international governance/cooperation that is not realism in nature and promotes peace.
Because we currently live in a realist’s dream, and I need two hands to count the number of ongoing wars, and a spreadsheet for the number of casualties. Peace is very much an action and is not passive or reactionary.
The biggest threat to the world is The Empire of Luxembourg, we are all just too afraid to talk about it
They are behind the banking crisis, just saying 😏
Malawi is a close second! They will take over the world!
Fr..Luxembourg ambition to conquer Europe is way too scary
We need a solution to that problem before it’s too late
I'm looking forward to living under Luxembourgian hegemony.
Would love to see a follow up on this that explains why India and China are just so unconcerned about any of this stuff. That's weird right? I wonder if there's a totally separate list of things they're concerned about, or if somehow the people of these countries just aren't worried in general.
For China;
>Superpower with a great amount of natural resources
>homogenous society with no threat of cultural / political disruption
>extremely strict on migration internally let alone external populations migrating in,
> friends with bordering superpower Russia
>One party state so no political polarisation
>Still on track to become the biggest economy globally
Welp, china has a collapsing economy and suffers the most from climate change, saying either one of these things in China is illegal
Effective banning of external media, effective propaganda, and/or a populace too worried about making it day to day to worry about the rest of the world.
Developing countries tend to be a lot more positive
could be a polling issue? China is notorious for its difficulty to conduct strong surveys there
a sample of 1000 seems to low for such generalisation
The poll should’ve asked about “cost of living/housing prices”. Would be a top concern I’m sure.
right?? I need a recount.
As someone living in rural Victoria Australia, as soon as I saw the title of this video I had a quiet existential crisis about extreme weather and natural disasters.
Same man, same
go back to europe then. some people have been living there for 50.000 years and theyre doing fine.

India and China chilling at bottom.
I'm starting to see that people in democracies have their heads on fire. While people in dictatorships go to sleep peacefully knowing they have no rights!
India and china going into nuclear war is borderline impossible but Pakistan and india going to nuclear war 😬
Living the dream. Thats very interesting
I'd argue democracy breads catastrophisation, but India is (for now) a democracy so that can't be it.
India and China wouldn't get into direct conflict. It would be too long, expensive and inconclusive for them to afford it and would temporarily weaken them which neither want. Both want to be the next superpower, going into a war with a well equipped country would only drift them away from it.
never heard of this place called china before but judging by this survey it seems to be the nicest and most chill place on the planet. just no worries all around

@@Hotdog_Love China has undergone tremendous changes in the past 30 years, but you are still stuck 35 years ago
Or that the news there doesn’t focus on current/future problems just what issues the government has already solved. From economic, local crime, natural disasters…for better or worse that’s what I see as an expat living there.
As a Brazilian, I'm not surprised about Brazil being in the top of the list of concerned people 😂
In contrary of what German Foreign Minister, Annalena Bearbock said, Brazilians in genaral are extremely connected and aware about what happens in the world 🤔...
More than we should be I think 😂
I must be living in other Brazil, because people that I know are clueless about what happens around the world
@@filiperosa7496 You must be living in Rio. 😂
Brazil is not for amateurs. Easy, normal, hard, Very Hard, Brazil.
Seems to me like you'd need to poll a lot more countries to get an accurate representation of what the world thinks but whatever.
Research from this channel? Wouldn't hold my breath.
Ideally, yes. However that's not how the real world works unfortunately. The bigger the player is, the louder their voice will be.
Poll from smaller countries? Ehh they're not really that important
You mean ask poor people their opinions?
You're joking right?
@@vijaz5559 I didn't know Italy is important
this is why I like this channel, this is the sort of important data that most channels of information skip over.
Crazy that the most concerned country is Brazil and the least worried is China.
Interviewer: So, what do you consider to be your area of expertise?
Me: 00:03
Happy to see that people actually are affraid of climate breakdown
TLDR has been effectively quiet about it for over a year
@@toyotaprius79 Many online media channels have to cover topics based on what people who sit at home the whole day watching conspiracy videos and narrative satisfying news would listen to.
Oh boy, everytime I got my electric bill.

more worried about echoe chambers
The first 15 seconds of this video sound like the 21st century version of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire"🤣🤣🤣
Man what's up with Jammu and Kasmir and Ladakh and Arunanchal Pradesh in India.
And manipur too😢
It's funny how concerned people around the world are about climate crisis / extreme weather changes (not concerned enough, but still) but the governments seem to be quite disinterested in the same. So much about reflecting public opinion! I, however think that people do not voice their concerns enough about climate crisis to make it a political issue - they just worry about it in general
indeed. it's mostly useless worry and no change in behavior.
nice work
Hope you're keeping in touch with these great folks for good news content at the end of your daily update videos!
This survey likely needs two scores for each "concern"; one for the ranking (as it is now) and one for the variance. That is, how likely it is to move up and down the ranking. Why? Because if a concern can go from the bottom of the list, to the top, and then to the bottom; then it's concern is primary temporal. If, however, a concern is, year after year, consistently at the top, then this concern is likely one that is more serious because it's perceived of as a permanent one.
The two scores can be then be combined. That is, if a concern ranks high, this year, but has a low variance, then it's ranking falls considerably. Likewise, if a concern is ranked relatively low and has a low variance, then it's ranking is ranked considerably higher.
Astute point.
None of this data was compiled by those in the Middle East and Africa.
I'm positive they would have a vastly different view of the greatest risks to their countries.
Biggest risk to US ALL over the next few decades is water scarcity. Mark my words.
Wrong
VIDEO much appreciated. All humans have choices everyday which either bring pain or happiness to OTHERS. The percentage of the selection of choices which bring pain to others is increasing. This is the true source. Thats where the solution lies.
The world’s biggest problem is powerful psychopaths. This is the most existential threat facing humanity. This is the cause of all other existential threats.
Religious and government psychopaths
Yay here we go
I have to agree that the Mosul Music Festival story is pretty heartwarming.
I’m happy to know that these experts could have brought music back to Mosul! It is touching
I thought this was actual risks, not perceived risks. Checking out now...
Make your own video on actual threats. Start with religion
@@thefunnycomments2358 my point is that this video is named with clickbait in mind. It should properly be titled “what does the world’ people think is the biggest threat to its existence?”
@@famartin1 Should be titled - "what does the people were told by local media that they should be afraid of"...
TLDR over here *AT* the event which released the study, bravo
India and China: 😄
As a Chinese, I would like to say that part of this report is true. For example, immigration issues, Islamic terrorism, and food shortages are things that the Chinese generally believe are far away from them.
But the Chinese people are obviously more concerned about economic issues, wars, pandemics, trade wars, and the United States than in this report
Maybe you could get a Munich TLDR playlist going and share it as o post?
6:58 politest dissing ever
Intro to this video went hard, in an existential horror kinda way
I feel like interviews are either passive, assertive, or agressive, and I was hoping for an assertive interview on this topic. It was good though.
I love the positive news from the woman at the end of this video. I absolutely agree with her, that we need to focus on more positive stuff, in order to spread hope and more positive views. Yes, we shall not underestimate threats and the impact of all those negative events. But it's not good for mental health and moral support if you only speak about all the bad stuff. This will just lead down into a spiral of negativity, which can even cause innovative people to step down and give up. We don't want this to happen.
Good to hear that nobody is afraid of the EU
I am surprised by the complete absence of the fertility crisis and global aging of the population from that list.
He said "does seem logical' wayyyy to close to how a robot would.
They should do a study of media coverage of these issues in the different countries and I bet my right hand that you will get almost perfect correlation.
Moral of the story: you fear what the news tell you to fear.
Mostly. The only exception would be detectable in countries where big chunk of population don't take their media seriously, though it would be euphemistically called as "polarization".
Curious how the rankings would change if the responses were normalized within each country.
Lets goooo. We got music baby. We did it.
In Japan is rare to find someone that is very informed about politics and also that wants to discuss about that, at best they give their opinion and their opinion is what the japanese media told them or in the case of Young people is Twitter that give them the information and both are in full force anti-china even though they are always like that lately is even worse choosing always negative news or scary one's. Lasta time I was in Japan I was surprised that some friend rejected my invitation to the Harbin festival because they think they will get attacked if they speak Japanese, I asked why they think that and of course the answer is Twitter that is the favorite social media in Japan
This is not a stat about the biggest risks, but about the biggest fears.
One big risk that doesn't appear here is social polarization
Pretty much all things on that chart lead social polarization

There are many interesting take homes from this. For me, the fact that the Chinese response is pretty much flat across the board suggests that, either the population has little understanding of issues facing the world or there is a big cultural difference in risk perception between the Chinese and the rest of the world. Secondly, this is, as you described, a slice of popular opinion. It would be interesting to see how these outcomes compare with those of the insurance industry.
'It seems not everyone got the memo.' I laughed so hard, and yet this is so sad and worrying that people are not more conscious about the huge and most important problem facing humankind that is climate change...
It is not really that concerning to some when there are those who can't even provide 3 meals a day for their family
Russians either winning and looking for new targets in a few years (or going down and starting nuclear war) vs +2C in next century?
Whether we're talking out domestic issues or international concerns, surely out of touch politicians are responsible for most of the risks the world faces.

I don't want to set the world on fire...
Can you guys make a video that’s not a total bummer please
Well, the biggest issue that the world is facing is we are running out of time, literally. It's no longer a matter of prevention, but only how bad it will all end up soon (aka in the next few decades).
A simple example is the medical crisis, where we are running out of antibiotics. It's something that is overlooked a lot in the common discussion, simply because the farmers lobby is heavily involved in keeping the topic down. However a lot of people in the West can't even remember a time anymore when infections were a serious threat, well, that time is coming back soon because R&D cannot keep up. So there's papers out there that estimate that we will run out of antibiotics in two/three decades.
Another example is global warming, specifically the issue with the weather becoming to hot for the most commonly used wheat. Wheat is one of the most important source of food and thanks to centuries of specific breeding, we now have crops that produces magnitudes more of output compared to it's original ancestors. However with specialization it also became less resilient, so in two/three decades all the common wheat crops will no longer be able to grow on our current fields.
And finally we have another greed based issue, plastics. The magical material that solved so many problems, but thanks to it's lack of proper disposal we now have micro plastic everywhere and we will not be able to remove it in time. What do I mean by that? Well, there again are already studies out how it affects the fish population and it's estimated that fish will just no longer be available as a food source in about two to three decades.
Oh, if you see a pattern here, yeah, we managed to have dozens of issues peak in two or three decades. Obviously those are scientific estimates and they useless low ball with bad news, which we can nicely see with those global temperature estimates, so maybe we get hit sooner rather than later.
So good luck, hope you guys are all boomers!
*decades?
My dude... We've been there already in 2020. We're now on damage control. Hence the "+1.5°C treshhold".
It's a permanent increase now unless you can actively remove co2 from the atmosphere or are willing to wait for around 1000 years.
From now on anything over 1.5°C is accounted for in billions of dollars and human lives lost.
The biggest risk to humans is always large authoritarian governments. You worry about plastic....
Eh, I'm not sure on this. There have always been crises. In the 1980s, people were living with the constant existential threat of nuclear war over their heads, a mysterious new deadly disease (HIV/AIDS) exploding globally with no adequate treatment and a growing hole in the Ozone layer that'd soon give everyone at high latitudes cancer.
Those all would've seemed pretty damn dire at the time.
I'm not saying the problems you've cited aren't serious, but if people are facing significantly more existential angst, it's because of the media landscape, not necessarily a rational assessment of their individual risk from those issues.
If Argentina had managed to keep its wealthy-country status to this day, without the economic and political instability that has engulfed it for the better part of a century now, it would undoubtedly be in (well) the G8 of the world's largest rich-world economies, and would thus have been among the 12 countries being surveyed for these global risks.
Canada: is not concerned...
Seems like you skipped over political polarization in Brazil, which ranked higher than it did in USA.

It just goes to show the influence "Main Stream Media" has on shaping opinion.
Fascinating how much less worried India is about the EU than South Africa.
Also, I think Canadians were being rather optimistic… though, not as much as India and China. Dang.
Why shouldnt India be less worried about EU than SA?
@@SGN30 I’m not sure, but that’s what the poll results in the video show?

that woman at the end of the video saying that they brought music back to mosoul as that their brought life back despite music being totally forbidden in islam and being happy abt that doesnt look like democracy to me , its the same as saying we opened bars there and "freed" the population , i mean "deceived".

1:42 Some of the colors don't match the numbers, and it makes me wonder which one I should trust. (I'd guess the numbers).
What about Belgium they're always the root cause
I studied climate change and I've worked in sustainability. I know the science fairly well. And we're in serious trouble.
But I'm more concerned about AI. The massive advances in 1 year are insane. Whoever is leader in all the countries having elections this year, they will preside over the most fundamental change in human history. I put that statement at about 60% chance.
If that happens, Taiwan and Ukraine become diverting side issues.
It’s the plan all along. We shall accelerate AI’s path of devastation.
@@1mol831 There is no plan. There's people who have developed extremely powerful tech, which has been in development for 50 years. And now they have got into an inescapable race to get to various milestones before others. This happens with all new tech.

Not in good detail. The low was not told
like the high one. Assuming the world sentiment some parameter seems off from the expectations
It's not the world, it's a small percentage of mostly develop countries
China don't worry anything. Holy Moly...
Interesting that you interviewed women at the end

political polarization is the top for me. That is the main reason governments have a hard time dealing with the other issues
Arguably in recession?
Who's behind 👀 God damed 😮?
It's sarcastic that the countries that are the main cause of global warming, are the ones that ranked climate the lowest.
Oh no, the Fire Nation is going to conquer Taiwan
As a student living in China (using vpn to watch ytb), I can say that your investigation (on China) might go wrong, most of chinese espacially millennials is worring about economy, unemployment, brith rate, etc. they cannot be so unconcern about these risks u list.
What VPN do you use? I've read online that a lot of them don't work and I'm visiting soon.
Appreciate it if you could share ^^
all people in china are'nt millenials though

@@lightchaserwu9883 Okay I see, thank you. I'll do some more research.
I really like this channel, but you have to fix your graphics. Way too often the proportions are wrong, or like here the color coding (e.g., 47 is sometimes green and sometimes yellow for no reason)
Also, why do you call it the "post Ukraine war" at 3:49 if the war is clearly not over?
World debt crisis is a very big risk/threat. Governments are increasing their debts like someone planting trees for shade in the future. Now imagine what happens when that tree falls ultimately due to its size and pressure.🙄🙄🙄
Rich people wouldn't have to worry about that. Who runs the governments?
I think i am the greatest risk. The molecules.
Doesn't really matter as the topic of the video is concerning perceived risk of a select group of options as polled by a variety of countries.
@@HistoryBuff_0even many rich people would be devastated don't forget lot of their wealth is not real it's just valuation of stocks . Majority of new wealth is just a gaint speculation bubble fuled by debt .

I'm not worried one iota about man-made "climate change" (even though there has been extreme weather - would happen anyway no matter what), and much more worried about the effects of climate/energy policies, as well as the destruction of natural habitats and biodiversity plus actual pollution, plus perhaps immigration fuelled by biodiversity loss and all sorts of pollution. I'm sure that many thousands of scientists, signers of the Clintel climate declaration and/or of the Oregon Petition (which are quite legitimate ventures), would concur.
Some context on the people that were chosen might shed light on results. Do the governments of participating countries select the 1000 person sample set? I would be left dubious of the results of certain countries if this were the case.
no
What I gather from the graph @0:33 is that Chinese and Indians are pretty chill about stuff :-D

India and China: what risk🗿
Nice a music festival 🫤
China's row pretty much just screams,. "Everything is Fine under threat of gulag."

If ask Filipino top list Philippines issues will be economy, climate change, china, now hit wave on going after soon storm season top budget goes to depends and slow economy cost COVID-19 pandemic and more
"the world"
In general we can say China isn't concerned about anything really. Well, at least they don't report it
This data does not represent "the world". In fact if you remove China and India (which both have very different results and concerns about the world), you'd find that this date gives you only the view of a very particular group of people/nations. You'll also find that a lot of people of the world are geniunely concerned about the US, Nato, the EU and Israel. Please don't talk again about "the world" while just giving western point of view and presenting it "as a truth". It is not.
Agreed it is more like a western perspective through Western Lens
100% agree with the first part of your comment. For the second part though, how do you know?
