Get ready for countries like the US to "take on the responsibility" of altering the world's climate and fucking it even further.

How anyone can think that our world will not severely fuck "geoengineering" the planet is insane.

          It's been a while since I watched their videos, but I seem to recall a greater emphasis on using technology to solve our problems (like climate change or running out of fossil fuels, something about dyson spheres at one point), rather than considering the idea that technological progress might be to blame and should be scaled back.

          That and also not making any clear statements about the irresponsibility of corporations.

            Yeah I can see that. Its clear they're rooted in a liberal mindset. I try and divorce that from the info theyre bringing even if its a bit silly. Like the concept of Dyson spheres is interesting if not really possible or feasible, it was a big subject in scifi for awhile (guilty pleasure of mine). Or perhaps its something achievable in a post-scarcity Star Trek like civ where the social ills are already addressed.

            But yes, there's a clear lack of pointing fingers at the root causes and more fixing problems within the existing system (not the best idea).

            I like there videos on ants tho. Pretty neat.
