I have said it before and I will say it again - Donald Trump is the best president since Kārlis Ulmanis

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Prepare?! No one escapes the apocalypse. That's why it's the apocalypse.

Take a break from sensationalized news and just carry on with your life.

Awesome video.  Thanks for sharing.   What's crazy is that data ranges from being 14 to 19 years old and a lot has changed since then.  I'd love to see this guy make a modern presentation of this information.

 

On topic:

Asgardia.  Look into it.

Sadly Hans Rosling passed away earlier this year. But he continued his research intill then and AFAIK the trend shown in that video was unbroken.

So much doom-mongering, but the general thread is upwards. CO2 emissions have stabilized, and I'm fairly certain they will start to decrease globally within a few years (they are already decreasing in the US, China and Europe).

Child marriage is getting outlawed in more countries, and the rates are (albeit too slowly) declining as well. People are getting pulled out of poverty.

There are some things getting worse, like economic inequality in developed nations, but overall, the trend is positive. While we will probably suffer several temporary setbacks, the trend will continue.

Eh, start a revolution, dismantle the US and remake it. Then use the US's immense power to make every other country do what it says. If not, total annihilation. Problem solved

But there's still the manner of World War III on the horizon.

It won't happen. But you are free to use your time and money to build a fallout shelter that will be self-sustained with food and water if you want

I mean, that would be the smart and rational action if you really do believe WW3 is imminent.

no point to prepare. Who would want to live with radiation body with no one around. hunt for beetles and rats to survive?

no one. Just die quick and enjoy!

That, or kill the individual people who would cause World War III.

After all, why kill millions when you only need to kill a few?

Okay, what individuals will presumably cause it? And who will kill them? And how?
