if someone has ever said the following to you then you know you're dealing with a narcissistic douchebag
"Don't Be On The Wrong Side Of History"
Despite how easy it is to look back over the course of human history for all the progress that's been made it's a highly simplistic mind that thinks everything was a black and white fight between good and evil.

@@Fly-the-Light From my understanding, the Library was a first concept of copying all books that they could find, and it was something impressive for everyone that it left a sense of legend related to the Library. By the time it was destroyed, it had a massive collection of literary commentaries, more than the actual books as it was inhabited by poets and thinkers that had to prove their worth, even the commentaries had commentaries, you get the point. There were many copies of all the books spread around the ancient world, the loss wasn't that big, but the idea of some rare findings which gathered dust in the library which we'll never know, created this collective paranoia.

I doubt future historians will judge us all that hard, the more things change the more they stay the same. I dont forsee the invention of anything at the same the level of the internet. The early internet certainly was different from what we have now, but not radically different. But since the more things change the more they stay the same we currently judge the past the same way the future will judge us. We laugh at the thought that the lobotomy was ever treated as a proper medical procedure, we laugh at how the people in the past had asbestos in their walls and lead in their gasoline. But the present day has its own dubious medical procedures, + the fact that big pharma will prescribe harmful drugs for anything and everything, and also theres plastic in our blood and pollution in the air which are alot harder to fix than asbestos and leaded gas.

9:34 I never expected to see someone quote Solid Snake in anything like this. But like the massive nerd I am I have to say that I'm afraid the quote is wrong. Solid Snake says that "War has changed" which is a reocuring theme in the Metal Gear games, how war has moved from boots on the ground to electronic warfare, misinformation, drones and automated mechanical warfare. The quote "War never changes" when it gomes to video games is the mantra of the Fallout series, who often run with the theme that war is inevitable and no matter what weapons you use, the senlessness of war remains the same, that even after the world as we know it has ended, we still insist on waging war over the ashes. As a side note, many acredits the saying as having originally been uttered by Ulysses S. Grant, former US General and president, who supposedly have said "I have never advocated war except as means of peace, so seek peace, but prepare for war. Because war... War never changes" but the validity of what few sources there is to back this up is dubious at best.

Unfortunately, you may have recency bias. History and human psychology is always cyclical. Most humans believe that things will simply be a more technologically advanced version of today - that is, we believe we will continue in the current trend forever. Usually, the world of the near future is the OPPOSITE of what we believe, do, and think today. Republican dominance for a decade results in Democratic dominance in the next decade. Individualism today means collectivism tomorrow. GI generation that fought WWII upheld collectivist values of duty and sacrifice; the Boomer generation embodied self discovery, indulgence, and individualism. Think about how just one generation ago, the US was so united/patriotic and rallied behind the government in the War on Terror; and now most young Americans hate America and we are so divided politically and socially. So on and so forth. In a generation, we will likely be living in the opposite of the world we see today. It's a law of nature. What goes up, must go down. What goes down, must come up. We live in the best era in human history, having daily warm showers, fully stocked fridges of food or delivery on demand, and access to unlimited entertainment and pleasure at our fingertips. We live better than kings of the past. This means that hard times are ahead. Guaranteed. If you've been in the stock market before, I'll remind you of the quote that people often say at the top of a massive bull run "this time is different - we're gonna keep progressing upwards", you know it's time to exit! Trend reversal soon. But of course one day we will be back to today's values and behaviors.

If you look into the upcoming medical advancements we might just be reminded as the last great dying, there might be humans born today witch might live for thousands of years. Seems unreal , but the rate of increase in life expectancy is 1 year each seven years, but that rate is closing, meaning it was 1 to 10, then to 1 to 9, then 1 to 8. If the pattern holds, when it reaches 1 to 1 then most people literally stop dying. Also machine super-intelligence seems inevitable, at that point we might as well be regarded as children who didn't know better .

Nah, humans believe that the future is just an extrapolation of current trends, when it's usually the opposite. This is known as recency bias. As someone in the medical field, I can tell you that this upward trajectory forever will not be the case. Nature always corrects to the mean. Our advancements in the past 100-150+ years since the creation of antibiotics and advent of germ theory will not continue forever. Rise of superbugs/antibiotic resistance, pandemics, climate change, water shortage, wars and biological warfare will decrease life expectancy by a massive scale in the next 50 years or so. And then afterwards it will rise again, but it will feel like the end of the world during this era.

8:25 Objectivity has never existed. The major change here is the erosion of trust in institutions. Which, can you really blame people for not trusting “objective” institutions? There is well-documented evidence of governments lying to their own citizens and acting against their citizens’ interests throughout history. There is also plenty of evidence showing corruption in many of the largest corporations in the world. I’m not saying that algorithms and echo chambers are better, but I do think the notion that “objectivity” has ever existed is flawed.

I'd argue that objectivity has always existed, just noever at an institutional level. Even when the ideal of objectivism began taking root in academia, institutions often ended up promoting things that where subjective out of carelesness, even those who where seeking objectivity. We have plenty of individuals and groups that seek objectivity and seek to teach through that. I think you are right that the major change is trust in those institutions but not because objectivity never axisted but that we are now more aware than ever of how said objectivity we seek is absent from those institutions. I also believe that we now seek objectivity more than ever, and the demad for those institutions to embrace objectivity doesn't just come from academia anymore but from the laymen and general population as well, making the call much louder. There will never be absolute objectivism in any institution, after all what does a politician have to gain from it, and misstakes will always be made, and I think we have to make peace with that, but hopefully this change will lead to more institutions, especially those in academia, to return to seeking out that objectivism we want and hold it as the true ideal rather than simply saying so as lip service in a vain attempt at saving face and protecting trust.

Agreed, it's quite easy to see who will be on the right side of history with certain things like civil rights issues. If you look at polls from back in 2004 a strong majority of the country opposed same sex marriage, and yet polls also showed that a strong majority also believed that it was inevitable that same sex marriage supporters would eventually win even though they were clearly in the minority. So I don't think it's too hard to infer from numbers like that that people back then (including opponents of same sex marriage) knew that supporters of same sex marriage would be seen as being on the right side of history.

Regarding education, I'd argue that our present society makes it difficult to actually put that education to use. I could study neuroscience and still not be qualified for a job in that field without paying an obscene amount of money to get a piece of paper saying I studied it. I think that most people don't utilize the information we have at our fingertips, but those who do don't have the privilege to put that knowledge to use. I can't afford a good education, so I can't get a good job. It has more to do with overcomplicated processes than it does a lack of motivation. I think people are apathetic because everything is easy, yet anything actually useful is incredibly difficult to the point that it may not even be worth it.

Honestly, I don't think the environmental issues of today are going to be all that important in the future. It's not that climate change isn't real or anything like that, but rather I think that there are going to be much more grave concerns, even in the near future. The price of fertilizer has increased significantly in the last year, and will likely continue to increase even more, which will make it inaccessible in sufficient quantities for many developing countries, which will in turn reduce the agricultural output. This would essentially be a reversal of the green revolution, and would result in massive famines in the poorer parts of the world. That would be a civilization killer and that alone would be enough to end our globalized world. Secondly much of the developed world has experienced collapsing birth rates beginning 50 years and the advanced developing world has experienced the same thing beginning 30 years ago. The recent rates of immigration have not fixed this problem for almost all of europe, and the rates needed to maintain economic continuity would be so high as to threaten societal collapse by itself. China's one-child policy has absolutely gutted their birth rate, and their population could decrease by half within as little as 30 years. In that horrific scenario, the population of the world would significantly decline, economic output would crash along with it, and carbon emissions along with that, Climate change wouldn't be an issue, because there would be many far more severe things threatening the standard of living of most humans.

Agreed. Most humans believe the future is an extrapolation of current values and behaviors, when it usually becomes the opposite. Most humans have recency bias. Current green movement is not sustainable.

Population growth/decline isn't as black and white as you make it out to be. There's problems both in endless population growth and in a shrinking population.

Depends on which country you are talking about If it's a Us-centred question, you really cannot predict... Maybe they will admire that we had a high standard of living compared to the future generations (Maybe) They will be jealous to see how less we had to study (Certainly) They will feel glorious to see that the US used to be the sole/dual superpower of the world (certain) They will be surprised at how the economy grew 2%-3% every year rather than 0.1% (certain)

Surprised that most of the world had inflation as opposed to the current (their POV) situation of decades long deflation (a la Japan). Surprised that no one openly called hypocrisy at the US for doing everything they accuse others of doing (meddling in elections, annexing territory, staging referenda, assassinating foreign leaders and conducting coups, etc). Surprised that 22% of the vote could get someone elected and still be called a majority, as long as the opponents only got 21% or less (first pass the post as used in US, Canada, UK, etc).

Dear How History Works: This is a nice video but the statement: 6:03 "are we even using it? shure you're here, don't forget to subscribe, but the fact that we rather watch cat video's and the Kardashians will not go unnoticed for those whom come after us" Is uncharitable to say the least. Not only do we need to consume data, we also need to intergrate the information. Otherwise we forget or even overload.

I think that they wont care more than just a few marking things. Yes, maybe a very well educated historian will remember the dates of the vietnam war and it's consequences and bla-bla-bla, but most people will remember as much of this as we, uneducated masses remember of the Portuguese dicoveries: "there was a guy that sailed arround africa because spices were expensive". There, there you have 100 years of portuguese politics, protests, love and disgrace, heyday and decline. A few ones will learn about the details, but the people will just not care.

You speak about getting "cancelled" like it's a new thing or that it's worse than ever. Never heard of the Crusades? The Spanish Inquisition? The Salem Witch Trials? What about village stonings?... The idea that "Cancel Culture" is new or "as bad as ever" shows a lack of historical understanding. Not good for a history channel. We've always had it and always will.

As a future historian, 11+ months into the future from which this video was first viewed, I can tell you that Human Rights, Evolution, and Critical Thinking, were never science, and still are not. In another 11 months I will invent a time machine to transport a canister into which I can seal in these basic facts, so I can punt it back into your thick skull. I don't expect it to enlighten you, but I hope it'll hurt.

As a 15 year old I have two probably wrong critiques of this video, 1. Electric cars are bad for the environment too and the pollution caused by the energy needed to dig up the resources needed to make a battery for one is way more than the pollution a normal car will make in its life time 2. This videos kinda weird cause you’re sounding like you think that one day we’ll all be united and have the exact same thoughts which no hate will never happen and has never happened and no one expects that to happen. Honestly a society where everyone thinks the same things is probably bad Oh and also you have some really cliche opinions about the internet. I hate when people complain about being canceled n shit because that only happens to famous people. The people who complain about getting canceled will have like 3 followers on Twitter, tweet the n word and complain when they get backlash. Only famous people get canceled and it’s when they either groom a kid or say a billion slurs. Usually anyone complains about cancel culture or how they can’t say anything online anymore are just really racist or sexist or homophobic and get mad when someone tells them that’s not ok and you’re just kinda coming off in that way. Also the internet isn’t that bad, calm down the internets not ending the world. And do you want unity or not? The only way to get unity today would be with the internet but apparently the internets ruining society according to you Yeah you know some shit but you can’t yap for 10 minutes about society and the internet when you clearly haven’t had a positive conversation in years

I would like to add some that is not talked about in this video: 1. Western civilization's self-flailing, and constant white guilt 2. Sugar addiction 3. The openness and lack of punishment for casual sex, 4. left-right swiping dating sites 5. the fear of masculinity and femininity 6. How Islam was practiced (e.g. Iran and Saudi Arabia, which if you had interacted with a lot of muslims, you can tell they detest and actively distance themselves from the way Islam and Syariah Law is currently being conducted, aka a reform/restructure of Islam will be seen, a revised version of the Prophet's life, and i also can see a new religion taking over and replace Islam) 7. The fear of China and any other country other than the USA will overtake USA in 100 years. (Except for Russia, Russia's fear of China can totally be justified, good luck Russia, I hope there is still a united Russia before i die, i really like Russians and Russian culture ;-; ) Anyways, I think i made a comment that will make me be exiled from my own Country or even have my life threatened. Good luck bois :) We'll meet again. Out.
