You mentioned the Ever Given - the ship that grounded and blocked traffic in both directions in the Suez Canal. The thing is... it wasn't just the "one ship" - by grounding where she did, it effected other ships for just under a week. Billions in cargo were, essentially, unable to go anywhere. Forunately, the Ever Given wasn't damaged - if she had sunk at that spot, it would've been an even bigger financial mess. It definitely showed how fragile the Suez Canal can be. It only takes a ship getting stuck in the right place to mess everything up. EDIT: The ship is named the Ever Given. Evergreen - which you can see in giant letters on the side of her hull - is the name of the company that owns the shp, the Evergreen Marine Corporation.
@@emonahmadi208 Evergreen is the name of the company that owns the ship - the Evergreen Marine Corporation. The ship itself is the Ever Given. Her sister shp, the Ever Forward, grounded off Baltimore earlier this year.

"Cause Unknown" is now the number one cause of death in Alberta, Canada. This is beginning to be seen in the other Canadian provinces. In 2019, Unknown Causes of Death were in last place...
So there were some MIT scientists back in the 70s I think it was - that did some statistical analysis of the state of the world, and calculated that global society would collapse around 2040. They revisited that paper last year I think, compared it to new statistical analysis of the current state of things, and found that we were right on schedule - maybe even ahead of schedule. Quite the terrifying thought no? Most people in history, perhaps even all people in history, were never aware, like really aware, that they were part of the generation that wouldn't just live to see the collapse of society but would be actively trying to survive during it. Now we have the forethought and knowledge to predict these things ahead of time and we are still marching right towards it instead of doing something about it.
I saw that study and the predictions are right on course for society to collapse. Nothing will be done to avoid this just like global warming. They just gotta have their short term profits and they're going to kill us all. They btw are the unfettered corporate machines that politicians bow to for the jobs they'll get when they leave politics.
We need a machine that inscribes the most important data onto something, maybe a precise microlaser onto a easily stored medium and a device to magnify it. Maybe even something that indexes and consistently adds things from a certain site that's meant to be the backup.
Maybe we can sent it into interstellar space too since if we keep it on earth it might get destroyed with whatever causes the collapse, and voila you have the voyager drives.
I miss growing up in the 90s. Every once in a while you would see someone at a farm party with a VHS camcorder. Now? Everyone has one. Privacy was awesome, when we had it.
Collapse isn't sudden, in fact is very gradual, and I would argue we're already marching towards it. I have a theory of why civilizations collapse. Once survival stops being a priority, abundance has been created, complacency sets in. In that complacent state the lack of interest in the things that enabled such progress develops because a complacent society becomes lazy. I'd say we're already seeing evidence of that. Another thing is the political landscape. Rome didn't just combust, the political strife of its ruling class contributed very heavily to its demise. It's easy to look at the world today and see the fragile balance the different warring factions have reached fraying. Either world politics ends up reaching new balance or we all suffer. All in all, the state of the world right now is very precarious. The US is no safer than Syria was before it collapsed either. The rise of militancy and the militant mindset should worry Americans. And it isn't particularly confined to one political party or ideology either, ignoring the violence of one faction while amplifying the violence of another only serves as a catalyst for war.
Don’t worry about pronouncing "Kurzgesagt" right, it’s German and means like "short said/in short" or "in a nutshell". It’s hard to pronounce for people who’s native language is English.
17:29 you need to understand that when you do stuff for fun or out of curiosity and when you do stuff because you have too/ for survival, you get 2 very different outcomes I'm 100% sure that if your life depended on you growing food, you'd do it right humanity's best quality is adaptability
For anyone paying attention, Kurzegesagt didn't answer the title question. They just talked about how we would recover from collapse. The implication then would be that we almost certainly are on the way to collapse. Hardly seems optimistic to me.
I would cry if this happens before one piece ends. Almost a decade of weekly reading chapters and then nothings accessible. Yeah other shit are more important but also is escape
Yeah, I'm not surprised because humanity is just a bunch of big children that were in such a rush to be grown ups that we never really had a chance to actually grow up. This is what's going to bite us in the ass if we don't change ourselves. Enjoyed the reaction. 👍👍✌ out
Hmm, I do think his reasons for optimism are predicated on the idea that what brings about the collapse of human civilisation doesn't also bring about the wholesale collapse of the ecosphere. At this moment in history, that is far from assured. Things like climate change and global thermonuclear war, for example, could largely or even entirely destroy the Earth's ecosphere, in which case it wouldn't matter which or how many humans survive the initial collapse. For example, it won't matter that a lot of people that understand farming survived, we still won't be able to grow crops if the symbiotic soil fungi and microbes that plants rely on for their survival are all wiped out or if the insects, birds, and small mammals we rely on to furtilize our crops are all gone or if the water cycle is so messed up it is no longer reliably predictable. Likewise, it won't matter much if a lot of fishermen and women survive if there's no fish left in the oceans. Etc, etc, etc. At the rate we're going I think the collapse of human civilisation as we currently know it is inevitable. How badly we screw up the rest of the planet's ecosphere will determine whether or not we persist as a species afterwards and to what extent we might recover.
I agree. He didn’t explain the worst case scenario where everyone just dies because everything on planet Earth dies at the same time. But, that’s human emotion, believing and hoping that we can survive just about anything. For the most part, it’s true. However, some things can end all life such as the Yellowstone supervolcano, an Earth ending asteroid, all out nuclear war. I did have an interesting vision back in summer of 2020. As the pandemic was escalating, I was with friends camping in Tahoe. Around 9pm, I went to my tent with a stomachache. Instead of sleeping, my mind became clear and this “vision” appeared. I’m not into mysticism or religion, but this was straight out a vision that just beamed into my mind. I was still in Tahoe, but my friends were gone and instead of the usual greenery of Tahoe it was a wasteland. No trees, no water, basically just dirt. I found myself panicking and attempting to find somebody. Finally, I met this guy walking his dog. I asked for help, and he explained what happened. We were in the year 2040. This guy told me we had a third world war in 2025 and it lasted until 2030 where it became an all out nuclear war. In the end, the majority of global population was killed. Only a handful of survivors existed, and they lived as nomads since no one had any knowledge of infrastructure or technology. Since most of the Earth was wasteland, survivors did come up with creative ways to grow vegetables. However, they were not able to grow an abundance of food. I believe the population, at least in America, was around 800,000-1,000,000. Scattered throughout America but barely surviving. And that’s where the vision ended. Not sure if you will respond, just thought it was an interesting thing I had happen to me 2 years ago.
If a power outAGE happens I pick a book and read until power comes back or I myself or with people make a power source with the knowledge I get from books I red, because I'm an adaptive human being, I can adapt almost everything I think with the knowledge of learning capabilities of human being
I have to say, I'm a bit skeptical right from the outset - this video seems to be treating the entire earth as if it's tilted to the West - it's common knowledge that, historically, world civilizations have been centered around the Silk Road - that's the whole point of the Silk Road, a trade route linking the world's major civilizations - so, besides the Mediterranean, we've got West Asia, South Asia, East Asia, historically where most of the world's population has been based - This video isn't a historical survey, but it's making reference to general historical conditions as a base for its projections - so how is it possible that these regions, centers of world civilization for millennia - are totally off the radar screen here, not referred to at all, not even as marks on the briefly shown maps? - The Persian Empires and the later Islamic Empires were ongoing rivals with the Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and later West European powers - there's much speculation as to why China wasn't the first to industrialize, or colonize the Americas, considering the massive world power it had reached by around 1000 AD - the whole motive for Europe's later Age of Exploration was to find a more direct way to reach regions like India and China - why? - to access the enormous wealth being generated from those places - so I wonder what mode of selection was used w this video - using Rome as a reference is fairly common, but "forgetting" everything east of that? They should take a page from your book - since GETJaby usually has a far more fully international perspective
Wtf I wanted to comment the same thing on kurzgesagt itself but anyway it feels good find this comment. The video seemed so much Europe centric you know what I mean. When they talked about the building inventions etc there is China and India specifically who were way ahead of Europe at the time. And just forgetting it is stupid.
exactly my thoughts...cities with a million citizens existed long before the emergence of western hemisphere...a typical anglical worldview...may be west will collapse, human civilisation will continue
I believe that this video isn't focus on like which region is more powerful or more advance than another. It's focus on how a civilization can collapse even though it was thriving. And the Roman empire was just happened to be a great example for this idea. Civilization here doesn't mean the whole earth. It can just be a country, a region, a continent. Like how in the videos, he said that a civilization can collapse by itself or be absorbed by another better more advance civilization.
In Bhagwat Geeta, it is said that whenever humanity will suffer, only righteousness can restore it, or god himself. But, it does say, humanity will suffer again & again.
To, VERY BRIEFLY, clarify some terms: CIVILIZATIONS consists of (but are not limited to): Agriculture, Government, Written Language, and Military Strength. However, not all civilizations have central governments. Within a civilization: THE CITY STATE: An independant city within a government and their own way of doing things. e.g. Rome, Athens, Sparta, Carthage, Monaco. A city-state is NOT a small country with only one city in it. It is an independent city. THE COUNTRY: Land that is controlled by a single government. e.g. Ancient Macedonia, Canada, United States. THE EMPIRE: A type of political unit with aspirations to control lands beyond their borders. Imperialism refers to the practice of a country's extending its political power - especially through the acquisition of conquered territory. e.g. Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, and British. Without a central government, a civilization cannot be classified as an empire.
Conspicuously missing; Greek Greek was the common language of the Hellenized world. As an Italian who wasn’t Roman my father said the Romans and renamed everything. The language of Catholicism, science and medicine was Latin later.
I completely agree with what @HalHamza comments here, if you look rn, people have become more stupid and socially cautious, we can't trust anyone anymore, and of course as of writing this comment... 2 major wars have already started.. sometimes when I have free time I think of the consequences of these wars and if somehow these might be the start of a world war 3...scary ..
As much as I love Kurzgesagt, sadly, I feel like this video glosses over some pretty crucial points : Sure, the ratio of people able to farm food might still be there in case of a drastic culling of mankind (especially since the townsfolks, who don't know how to grow food, will most likely be the first ones who die of starvation en masse, whereas the rural folks will somehow fare better since they know how to grow their own food), but by then, the soil would be so spoiled (watch Sadguru speak about the state of global soil and how it's reaching a breaking point due to overagriculture) that even them wouldn't survive for too long, as nothing will grow from an exhausted soil anymore. Also, without cities, no advanced techs for things like education or medecine, so no teachers nor doctors, so even if some people outside the cities can survive the famine, they will most likely die from the next pandemic (although if people are not living in cities anymore, the risk of a pandemic actually drastically drops), or the intellectual level of the remaining population will simply drop till there is not a single shred of modern civilisation anymore (nobody having access to computers or phones, since there won't be anyone left knowing how to operate a power plant, hence no electricity), getting back into obscurantism and throwing people in the arms of wannabe spiritual gurus or religious zealots, and it's gonna be 1000AD all over again...
This just shows that we are still vulnerable to Mother Nature. A global collapse would bring us back to our nomadic roots. Learning to grow vegetables, herd sheep and cattle, hunt and pick herbs and mushrooms. Learning what type of water is best to drink from and where to get it. If the majority of the world died, there will be some people who will survive. Unfortunately, they may not be the ones who understand how to build modern infrastructure or build phones or computers. And if it’s an environmental disaster or nuclear war, having crops would be difficult if not impossible to grow anything.
1980 a teacher showed a room full of twelve year old students a tape of a prediction of the end the world in 1984. Presumably Nostradamus’ predictions were interpreted to mean NYC would burn by Nuclear holocaust. Y2K in 1998, 2012, 1999 by Prince. I forgot to mention 1985’s Ghostbusters Revelation 7:12 fictional quote.
*I believe that humans will never go extinct. We will always find the solution, though some apocalypse may take so many human lives but nothing will end our species totally.*
Humanity could likely survive most terrestrial catastrophes, when we talk about asteroids or the sun burping that's when shit gets dicey. Younger Dryas impact at the end of the last ice age 12,000 years ago is good example, of course we survived that but it could get much worse.
You could see the fear and worry on their faces. Its a sad state of affairs, but unlike the past the earth has never been as connected as it is now. When the destruction hits it will be worst than what anyone can imagine, I think all the seed vaults and underground bases will make little difference in the end because the event that will take place will be out of the realm of human prevention. Most likely many events will take place before the final event. Nuclear War, Biological plague, Famine, and Natural. If all these were to take place in short order, there wouldn't be much that can be done because one wave after another would keep destroying the survivors. Of course a Super Nova of our Sun would end everything in our solar system in fire. All things must eventually come to an end in the world, but I think it's sad that mankind has not learned from the warnings given long ago that choosing light over darkness, Love over Hate, and Gentleness over Violence was the key and that there was always an option for us to change if we really wanted it and accepted what was offered us.
This is only about the Western Hemisphere.The east show more continuous civilizations the longest existing one being in India.(The poverty that many like to point out has started post Invasions/colonization and is very transient and of short duration in India’s 10000 yrs old history).Maybe there’s a lesson there,in the basic philosophy of what constitutes progress and such.And how we look at our resources and creating a balance with it.
Indian civilization is the only continuous civilization which had debacles but never collapsed. Indians speak same languages, follow same religion and build similar temples etc.

The issue with the narrative of this subject is its not taking into account of the reality of so called modern aspects of humanities developments.....its not in equal distribution and its not in the same levels in many places to this day, even with globalisation. There are some places that still exist in the age of hunting/gathering and some remote places that thrives using technologies that was prevalent in the 50's & 60's. Some developing nations are trying to catch up but their failing systems of managing such development is hindering the pace. We are really not a global advanced scale, its very local and fragmented.
the problem with current humanity is we dont think/plan in very long time scales and are not thinking of humanity as a whole and are still divided and not united as a specie

THE EMPIRE: A type of political unit with aspirations to control lands beyond their borders. Imperialism refers to the practice of a country's extending its political power - especially through the acquisition of conquered territory. e.g. Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, and British. Without a central government, a civilization cannot be classified as an empire.
I went to Hiroshima, it's a beautiful city! I admit, I was surprised but pleased to see how well it recovered.
Conspicuously missing; Greek
Greek was the common language of the Hellenized world.
As an Italian who wasn’t Roman my father said the Romans and renamed everything.
The language of Catholicism, science and medicine was Latin later.
i never saw that much serious faces on this channel
They did make a video about A solar storm :)
I completely agree with what @HalHamza comments here, if you look rn, people have become more stupid and socially cautious, we can't trust anyone anymore, and of course as of writing this comment... 2 major wars have already started.. sometimes when I have free time I think of the consequences of these wars and if somehow these might be the start of a world war 3...scary ..
9:29 it actually happens every year
but most of the time it's insignificant
basically
yes, humanity would survive, just not you and I ahahahah
They actually did do a video about a solar flare, it’s not as bad as people think but it’s not great either
Pls, watch more of these videos
Loved it thanks guys
Nice shirt Jaby! Where could I get one? 😅
May be you should watch Dr Stone, it's a very good Anime on Civilization rebuilding, you would be amazed...
A kurzgesagt reaction? I like that 👌
They did make a video on solar flair
As much as I love Kurzgesagt, sadly, I feel like this video glosses over some pretty crucial points :
Sure, the ratio of people able to farm food might still be there in case of a drastic culling of mankind (especially since the townsfolks, who don't know how to grow food, will most likely be the first ones who die of starvation en masse, whereas the rural folks will somehow fare better since they know how to grow their own food), but by then, the soil would be so spoiled (watch Sadguru speak about the state of global soil and how it's reaching a breaking point due to overagriculture) that even them wouldn't survive for too long, as nothing will grow from an exhausted soil anymore.
Also, without cities, no advanced techs for things like education or medecine, so no teachers nor doctors, so even if some people outside the cities can survive the famine, they will most likely die from the next pandemic (although if people are not living in cities anymore, the risk of a pandemic actually drastically drops), or the intellectual level of the remaining population will simply drop till there is not a single shred of modern civilisation anymore (nobody having access to computers or phones, since there won't be anyone left knowing how to operate a power plant, hence no electricity), getting back into obscurantism and throwing people in the arms of wannabe spiritual gurus or religious zealots, and it's gonna be 1000AD all over again...
You should also check out this channel called Lemmino. Their videos are so well done and animated and are up there with channels like kurzgesagt
This just shows that we are still vulnerable to Mother Nature. A global collapse would bring us back to our nomadic roots. Learning to grow vegetables, herd sheep and cattle, hunt and pick herbs and mushrooms. Learning what type of water is best to drink from and where to get it. If the majority of the world died, there will be some people who will survive. Unfortunately, they may not be the ones who understand how to build modern infrastructure or build phones or computers. And if it’s an environmental disaster or nuclear war, having crops would be difficult if not impossible to grow anything.
Thats why i regularly go to village thats why i try to fix everything that i own thats why i want to be mr knows everything
1980 a teacher showed a room full of twelve year old students a tape of a prediction of the end the world in 1984. Presumably Nostradamus’ predictions were interpreted to mean NYC would burn by Nuclear holocaust. Y2K in 1998, 2012, 1999 by Prince.
I forgot to mention 1985’s Ghostbusters Revelation 7:12 fictional quote.
Looking beautiful Steph Sabraw. Didn't focus on the video. Only on her.
Dude chola dynasty ruled more than 1500 years.. who said a civilization only lasts 350 something years??😐😐
You keep it.. and remember me in your prayers
Like thanos it’s inevitable 😂
please watch the anime called Dr. Stone, You will definitely love it.
*I believe that humans will never go extinct. We will always find the solution, though some apocalypse may take so many human lives but nothing will end our species totally.*
Humanity could likely survive most terrestrial catastrophes, when we talk about asteroids or the sun burping that's when shit gets dicey. Younger Dryas impact at the end of the last ice age 12,000 years ago is good example, of course we survived that but it could get much worse.
Great reaction 😀
roman wasn't the first it was Indus valley civilization ,the era of bronze
You should read Peter Zeihan’s latest book. Some of his predictions are likely.
They actually have a video about solar storms. Check it out,
You could see the fear and worry on their faces. Its a sad state of affairs, but unlike the past the earth has never been as connected as it is now. When the destruction hits it will be worst than what anyone can imagine, I think all the seed vaults and underground bases will make little difference in the end because the event that will take place will be out of the realm of human prevention.
Most likely many events will take place before the final event. Nuclear War, Biological plague, Famine, and Natural. If all these were to take place in short order, there wouldn't be much that can be done because one wave after another would keep destroying the survivors.
Of course a Super Nova of our Sun would end everything in our solar system in fire.
All things must eventually come to an end in the world, but I think it's sad that mankind has not learned from the warnings given long ago that choosing light over darkness, Love over Hate, and Gentleness over Violence was the key and that there was always an option for us to change if we really wanted it and accepted what was offered us.
There is no might or power except with the almighty maker.
Pls tell me the poster behind u is from the sniper ghost warrior game series.🙄🤔
This is only about the Western Hemisphere.The east show more continuous civilizations the longest existing one being in India.(The poverty that many like to point out has started post Invasions/colonization and is very transient and of short duration in India’s 10000 yrs old history).Maybe there’s a lesson there,in the basic philosophy of what constitutes progress and such.And how we look at our resources and creating a balance with it.
Indian civilization is the only continuous civilization which had debacles but never collapsed. Indians speak same languages, follow same religion and build similar temples etc.
Aren’t Tamil, Telugu, and other dravidian languages a completely separate language branch?
@@ac1455 They all have sanskrit as their mother language.
@@ujwalmokashi6702 Do you mean mother language in divergence or a lot of loan words? Proto Dravidian has been around since at least 4500 bc, the same time period as PIE (protoindoeuropean), 2000 years before PIE became Sanskrit.
I’m guessing you mean loan words the same way English is Germanic but most vocabulary is loaned from French.
@@ac1455 Dravidian and Indo European theory is flawed. I speak kannada, its quite similar to sanskrit, be it grammar or words. Those time periods don't make sense.
2:09 Sanatan Civilization Said HI after 10 years of survival
Look at the bounty
can we have more love death + robots please?
k
@@CinePals hell yeah! thank youuuuu
I never believed in Global warming but I live in Pretoria South Africa and we always had good stabile weather but just in the last we had 3 tornadoes one an F2 that missed my house by a couple of meters but removed the school's Roof from across the street 7 students was injured but luckily no fatalities and now the entire west coast was struck by a thunami flooding many towns
You should react to "Consumed by Apocalypse" by Lemmino. Goes in depth on a similar topic
Nothing lasts forever
We are in the suns atmosphere
9:15 this is already a video on this by this channel which your reacting 🙂
Please do more reaction from this channel please..........
The issue with the narrative of this subject is its not taking into account of the reality of so called modern aspects of humanities developments.....its not in equal distribution and its not in the same levels in many places to this day, even with globalisation. There are some places that still exist in the age of hunting/gathering and some remote places that thrives using technologies that was prevalent in the 50's & 60's. Some developing nations are trying to catch up but their failing systems of managing such development is hindering the pace. We are really not a global advanced scale, its very local and fragmented.
Hey jaby watch Karthikeya 2 if it's near to you ✌️🙏
He hasn't even bothered to watch the trailer yet....
He is waiting for the next Tiger Shroff shit
Sorry, I left out the word conquered😅
Rome conquered Greece then renamed things. Hail Britannia!
Mmmm I really like that comment, "We're addicted to convenience." I don't think I could have said it better myself.
steph should get a cactus
the problem with current humanity is we dont think/plan in very long time scales and are not thinking of humanity as a whole and are still divided and not united as a specie
Please do react to more videos of this type.
Roman Empire was the pinnacle of the Western World*
3:45 I didn't get the reference. 😥
It's from the game Among us.
It’s like the end of time like in the bible of Genesis and revelation or something or proverbs
Zaby the Suez canal crisis cost 54 billion $ that is 9 billion $ a day, 12% of global trade depends on Suez canal, the Egypt govt lost over 90 million $ because of this single ship not moving. Together with clearance cost the company operating ever green ship had to pay 550 million dollars to Egyptian government.
I tend to be an optimist so I don’t feel it is and I hope not
Fun fact your kids could see it if we have 100 years left.
I think A.I will destroy us before any of that happens.
I think natural calamities, global warming and other pandemics would wipe us the most.
