No. It’s over for humans. Our strengths have doomed us. We have rendered the bulk of those selective evolutionary pressures bypassed, overcome. We have won and by winning, we have lost. We will not repudiate so many of our victories, but cherish them, pridefully, and then die.

Awesome talk. We're doomed. Embrace the void friends. It's inevitable

"No company wants climate change, no one wants it." Not true. The fossil fuel industry wants it. Why do you think Trump is blabbing about taking Greenland? He's been talking to the oil and gas industry executives and they told him, vast amounts of oil and gas are being made available by the melting ice in Greenland. That's how fcked up these people are.

It's like listening to someone downloading my brain. Many of these thoughts I've been trying to tell people for years. He does a much better job of organizing these thoughts than I do though. I encounter the same pushback, "I don't understand." "You're not being realistic..." I do a lot of protesting, lately with Extinction Rebellion NYC. I have one sign I use, "Earth is a finite sphere," that is shaped like our solar system with the sun adding, "Dumb asses." That's the main problem, humanity is stuck in a primordial paradigm of competition to increase their standard of living. Well, that was fine two million years ago, although the other 8 species of humans would disagree with that, but they're long extinct. If we don't let go of that ingrained perspective, and shift to a new mode of radical empathy for all life in a spirit of cooperation to tackle the mess we've made, then there truly is no hope.

There's going to come a point when each individual must make their final choice between serving God or serving Mammon. But first, mammon will transform so radically it will become disguised as something so much better than it is now, that those who don't know God, will think it is God. We cannot steward THAT mammon safely. I've been through the depressing grief of the recognition of geo-collapse, and come out the other side realising that there is really a God, and that is He is indistructable, and I'm not in service to this planet or this world, but to Him. And I don't want to waste that.

1:17:54 Daniel fairly frequently touches on the possibility of far greater transparency; in one talk he flirts with the idea of forced openness. He also quickly runs that thought toward fascism and dystopia - but is there any better binding agent than openness?

Tibet might be bad now, but it was as bad or worse before the Chinese invaded. Ruled by monks that imposed punishments such as dismemberment for theft or a Tibetan tradition where they tortured slaves and peeled off their skin while they were still alive to use it for ornaments.. not great

I've never seen someone professionalize high school angst and immature thinking as much as this guy.

10:27 "I'm very happy about the poly-crisis becoming more aware" - this rare stumble¿∞? from Daniel could seem like awareness is aware and interjecting where possible. 10:52 "we more talk about the meta-crisis which is just…" not yet the mettå-way

In Christian tradition this is known as sorrow. Having sorrow.

I believe I will be as kind as I can and experience as much connection and peace as I can.

Hey guys, I need a VC internship. Where can I apply?

I actually disagree with Daniel that if you’re not depressed by being aware of all he’s talking about “there’s something wrong with you.” From the anti-natalist position that it’s better to never be born, to see the end in sight is not depressing, rather, it’s good to know that the suffering inherent in life will end, for all. Yes I “love animals”-I prefer the phrase “other animals.” And I know that life is a miserable, wretched struggle for other animals too. Just watch any nature show. Life in the wild is filled with hunger and fighting and killing and death. At any rate, extinction is the way of the world, not anything new. 99.9% of all species that have ever lived are now extinct. Rather than be depressed, news of the impending end cheers me.

Wow.

Can I do an internship with you?

Daniel needs to sleep with a woman called wisdom. he thinks he is Jesus but he is missing the problem-- you can't say "bad guy over there" and order others around. one must inspire others to care-- and empower them. This means stop using trauma to "educate" others while feeling like the big man. ...and ask a fucking woman on stage because it is obvious how unbalanced this is.

Historically, only great movements forward were preceded by enormous amounts of morbidity.

You're preaching to the converted, but you don't seem to understand that politics is deaf to what's needed doing, governments having got themselves into unrepayable debt in borrowing and banking unlawful unpaid future taxes and having the banks that those they employ pay them into unlawfully taxing their depositors who are not paid by government by using their deposits for the spending and borrowing of those unlawful future taxes and at the same time leaving them to be also repaid to the lenders to government with more of their taxes i.e., the defrauded depositor taxpayers are being charged twice for everything those employed by government are paid, buy, borrow, and save. This leaves them literally slaves to those paid with taxes and the banks without deposits since everything the government owes is owed in the name of their depositors not employed by government, many times exceeding their total deposits, and "falsely accounted" - a criminal offence - as assets on the banks' books, which they also use as collateral to borrow more loan capital. How accountants and bankers who seem completely ignorant of legal banking practice came to be appointed to permit this, how the media likewise was seemingly totally ignorant of the law, and how the justice systems have allowed this to happen, smacks of conspiracy and corruption at the highest level and/or the criminal silencing of all dissidents attempting to expose it. This is not difficult of course, with access to everyone's accounts and PCs by State security organisations seeking terrorists in the created phony War on Terror while ignoring crimes exceeding the suffering and destruction of life caused by every war that ever happened on earth by industries killing millions with fossil fuels and low grade chemically grown foods absent all the necessary nutrients for health preservation, the unconstitutionally fraudulent borrowing of unlawful unpaid future taxes doubling the taxes for those not paid with them, and criminally leaving most of them to be repaid by unearning children and citizens not yet born. At any rate, with not a cent to spare to tackle GHG extraction, criminally allowing and even subsidising fossil fuel use while pleading ignorance on the dangers of climate change for over sixty years, deciding that the scientists are acting in self-interest even when it was acknowledged by governments in the 1960s, there is not the faintest hope that they will act as common decency, common sense, and reason demands to use the law to enforce compliance with protecting the lives of the public, as all constitutions demand, from the ongoing genocide of millions annually from fossil fuel use and users, and from climate change. More short-term comfort it seems is media acceptable even if it means starvation, violence, and death in a decade or two for themselves and extinction of all multi-cellular life on the planet. If there was an Almighty Power without compassion watching over us, I think it would decide that we don't deserve this planet and it's time for us to go.

You too, it seems can't voice in public the most important economic factor that has instituted poverty creation as most governments' principle fiscal policy consequence. The trillions of future taxes that governments have input into their economies through the banks and that the latter have accepted i.e., non-existent money, as deposits from those paid with them, allowed them to be spent and borrowed with using the deposits of those not paid with them from whom the future taxes were borrowed from but who will have also to repay the lenders to government with their taxes thus double costing those depositors not paid with them but that the banks regard as 'assets' and collateral for capital lending i.e., of mortgages and loans that those same depositors will have to repay for those waged and salaried with their unpaid future taxes. Unless all those salaries, mortgages and loans are repaid to those who by law were not obliged to repay them in taxes, the depositors not waged with future taxes will never be able to repay what they did not borrow and what government defrauded them of by unconstitutionally therefore unlawfully borrowing, spending, and enabling defrauded spending and borrowing of unlawful future taxes nor will their children be able to do it. On that point, borrowing future taxes that will not be repaid in a year is a fraud on the children; they cannot be taxed without receiving income, but this too is conveniently overlooked by media and as the banks now create money at will as do all financial economies using unconstitutional government bonds as assets and collateral for borrowing, they have been defrauded and along with their parents not employed by government are stripped of their property rights as well. If the latter collectively sought return of their deposits they would find that the banks are unable to repay them because their assets are principally unpaid future tax mortgages and loans that like in 2008 are also worthless but I fear that the criminality would continue and they'd be paid with more created i.e., forged or non-existent digital money, which incidentally puts crypto currencies nearer to real and legitimate money than all those economies unconstitutionally and unlawful using and profiting from budget deficits of unpaid future taxes as legal tender despite all of such assets in reality being criminal and with government approval safely held in tax havens. This, I think makes extinction the most likely consequence of climate change when all in finance and governance are criminally enriched with unpaid taxes, are also all determined to do nothing to restore their criminal assets to the defrauded depositors, and since they’re the only ones with the means, are also unwilling to make the atmosphere safe for a habitable earth, its people and other life forms.

Much of this has been intuitively obvious to me for many years, but i don't have the education to articulate it. Thank you

The host invented/founded klarna which is arguably a predatory loan sharking organization. Not sure how i feel about this.

A species success is not dependant on its health, happiness, or self determination. Mordor is coming; battery chickens know this.

How vacuous. Who wrote this script?

This video was posted more than a year ago; and so few comments for it?.. Many of these problems could have been anticipated decades ago. Some people did, indeed, sound alarms. But the 'men and women on the street' had more important(?) things to attend to. Today, those who deliberately limit their rhetoric to 'overshoot', 'carbon emissions', industrial polluters, extractive industries, etc., should understand that they are not the heroes that some of us look up to. Let us know when you have the courage to be critical of HUMAN PROCREATION, among countless other forms of human harm to our planet. Of course, in the meantime, we will continue to work alongside you, and 'carry water' for your campaigns. But we fully understand the compromises that you are making (intentionally or otherwise). Perhaps, one day, we will see someone show more courage (and radicalism) and stress the possibility and desirability of human beings REFUSING TO BRING CHILDREN INTO THIS WORLD --until the global human population reaches a level that can be sustained WITHOUT AGRICULTURE. It seems that Kate Raworth is 'radical' enough in the eyes of some people. But I wonder if there are women who chose not to bring a child into this world who are even more qualified to criticize today's governments, companies, and communities. (I read that Kate Raworth has twins.) I am a 62-year-old man; and I am proud that I never brought a child into this world. (I am from Turkiye, a country that is guilty of building far too many dams, and using water as a weapon or a bargaining tool. My grandparents on both sides are from the Northeastern part of Turkiye that gets more rain than it needs. My country made no effort to control its human population, either. On the contrary! All governments since 1923 actively took money from the child-free to reward procreators! When Kate Raworth was 10 years old, I was advocating, in writing, for a decline in human population through natural deaths and birth control. I was 18 then. I suppose that many other people, long before I was born, recognized the need for, and the technical and social possibility of our species collectively refraining from procreation. Clearly, we did not win so far. But the struggle continues...

He must be quite the dancer. fffirst time I have heard the fff tell in awhile.

Those of you who care may read about St. Matthew Island and the introduction of reindeer on it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Matthew_Island It is just one example of a mammal species (an herbivore one, in this case) being capable of ruining a fragile ecosystem WITHOUT CAPITALISM, without anything similar to human bellicosity. We are told that their population rose from 29 in 1944 "to about 6,000 by 1963", and fell back to 42. (Sadly, they could not form a Bolshevik regime in time to save themselves...) I am not suggesting that most of the audience for this talk has sympathies for socialism; but some might. (I certainly don't.) For more than a century, we heard dogmatically self-confident socialists of one kind or another pontificating about all/most of humankind's troubles being attributable to just one (ill-defined) economic system. All the while, these fools chose to pooh-pooh problems related to human population growth, urbanization, industrial pollution, etc. Today, when many of the problems that socialists (of different generations) had been denying or overlooking are all around us, these fools want to have the center stage and bellow out "See?! We had been warning you all along. All that you are suffering from is because of CAPITALISM!" I write these as no apologist for any existing economic system. I acknowledge that there are many variants and mixtures, most of which are destructive to our shared planet.

24:45 Crucial part starts here

why do they always use photos from non european people in garbage?

Key to the entire toxic expansion of everything is simply the number of humans and their fertility. If we could deliberately reverse that increase, time is bought to rearrange and solve all problems, and we could build a real civilization. If, as seems likely, we cannot do that deliberately, it will happen anyway, in a much less pleasant way, and no decent world civilization will result.

Hi Norrsken I’ve been following your channel-great videos, but views are low. With better SEO, we can change that. Let's discuss how I can help

I cannot get passed the "destroying the atmosphere and boiling the seas" comment. Utter nonsense, not to mention that Moses beard.

Well that didn't explain to me anything

If you extract the C)2 from the air, how much fuel can you produce in a day? The problem with CO2 extraction in the past was that not enough could be extracted from the air to make a significant impact. We use as much as 392 million gallons of gas per day, not including diesel (125 million of gallons for diesel.) How much fuel can you create in a day at one plant? How many plants of that size are needed to create enough gas for American cars? It's probably worth pointing out that this would be much better than using fossil fuel, but when the gas is used to power a vehicle that CO2 is returned to the atmosphere. The plan was proposed by the company Carbon Engineering that half of the CO2 be used for fuel, and half sequestered to start bringing down the atmospheric CO2.

it seems, lobbying and private sector capture of government, is at root, the main trauma we are dealing with. why? because it is giving us an unfair playing field, corrupting the normal function of the market, and not stepping in when foul play is a foot.

I have followed Daniel for years, I subscribe to 1000's of channels, and watch 100's videos a week. but, I would say he is one of the best full stack thinkers out there today.

interesting that euthanasia laws, meant that the nazi officers, did not object to putting people into gas chambers, as they were "just following orders" it makes you wonder where this is going, I mean, what with plausible deniability of killing in the form of euthanasia being actively debated, and the new surplus of "useless eaters" as the grunts are sometimes affectionately known as.

IMHO the Mongol/Rome/Macedonian empire did nothing wrong. I am not being facetious with that statement, I'm saying based on many developmental factors like Spiral Dynamics stages of development, cognitive and moral development, personality types/traits/psychology, ego development, other lines of development in life and societal domains(Ken Wilbur), Societal developments, cultural programing, ideology and indoctrination, especially the history, culture and geography you find those 3 empires in it's no surprise that they became what they became. Schmachtenberger passing moral judgment here towards those 3 empires and psychopathy is merely his projection of his own privileged position, his biases and ideology onto them. Well if that's the case then would he maintain this moral judgementalism towards the Apache versus the Comanche and the early Spanish european settlers that had to deal with some Comanche and mainly Apache? And after the Apache force the losing Comanche northwards over natural resources of land like Buffalo, and fought with the Spanish, their horses fled northwards towards the Comanche which radically changed their entire tribe culture to factor in mythology about the horse because it was that valuable to them, which enabled them to become the most fiercest raiders of America, raiding both Apache and early settlers. I wonder if he'll maintain that moral judgment then.🤔🤔

ah yes, tibet before "mao invaded" a religious serfdom with slavery. nasty to throw in that anti-communism while communist nation states are making the most progress on environmental issues compared with every other industrial state.

Really insightful.
