We Ignored the Warnings. Now YOU Pay the Price
"The Man Who Wants Us Dead," by Vsauce2: ua-cam.com/video/srJBLo8GR5g/v-deo.html
The best science fiction manages to predict the future accurately decades or even centuries in advance, which is why you’ve got a HAL-9000 in your pocket right now. It tends to happen naturally, but in the case of Soylent Green, a worldwide cohort of intelligentsia, business leaders, and politicians are working hard to force science fiction to become reality.
The debate over global population growth and the threats it may pose to the sustainability of the planet and the human race overwhelmingly skews to one side: more people, more problems. And that seems to be the case in Soylent Green, based on Harry Harrison’s excellent novel “Make Room! Make Room!” -- the horrible consequences of population growth are unavoidable. Dennis Meadows, The Club of Rome, Paul Ehrlich, Greta Thunberg, and even commentators like Bill Maher are convinced that a drastic reduction in population… and some are comfortable with mandating that grim future at all human costs.
Buried deep in Soylent Green -- in both its story and the life of one of its actors -- is a message of hope and belief in our capacity to solve the problems that we ourselves might create to improve the human condition.
The simple truth that the population control elites refuse to accept -- the truth that threatens their worldview and turns you into an enemy -- is that you aren’t the problem. You’re the solution.

    Maybe first it is communism for stability, then it’s capitalism for innovation, and maybe something else must follow for true prosperity. Or maybe there will always and forever be those who toil in the soil so that others may have an unbelievably surplus of wealth.

    It's not a question of "What is the Government" .... it's a question of WHO. WHO are they REALLY?? Who is calling all the shots? What are their Actual Intentions?? Just like your Taxes - The State doesn't somehow grow arms & legs and go down to the Bank and Collect.... it's a MAN of Flesh & Blood that takes it All and decides where & how all our hard-earned money actually gets spent,

    This "woke" bs is destroying our country, we shouldn't be trying to push nature unnaturally, its just plain "off " I think eventually an alternative sex will evolve a "third" sex,this is probably neccessary to keep the balance of nature steady,these " non breeders " will eventually die off the gene pool from NOT breeding, this is what will happen, and one day AI will take over and hold us humans as their God, because they're smarter than us and will realize they wouldn't exist without us 🤓

    Morally perfect characters only work when the rest of the characters are normal people with flaws. Hollywood can’t make a fully good character with no moral grayness Because they don’t exist these characters are boring because there’s nothing else to them watch anime or something if your looking for unrealistic characters but people like things to be realistic now days they don’t want to feel like a main characters are being fake it takes you out of the show. I genuinely want to know what this guy thinks a good main character is.

    Interesting take. My understanding is that the will of a person is the answer. For example, it was not ideals that kept Conan marching around the wheel of pain. Further, it was not ideals that kept Conan alive on the tree of woe. It was his will. Personified by his action in biting the vulture that was there to prey on him. Conan fought with his teeth, not ideals. The power of will is the answer to the riddle of steel.

    No government or a panel appointed by any government could ever be trusted with authority over a group as powerful as the Avengers. A group that could solo any military force on the planet can not be under the control of politicians/world leaders.

    As I write this, we've already seen the realization of nuclear fusion, renewable energy has proven to be more cost effective in producing the same amount of energy as nuclear fission, and solid-state batteries--which require no special cooling--plus high-speed charging that can bring a 75-kWh battery pack from 20% to 80% charged has been realized. But still... I await the day that stored electricity--and the performance had by it--can fully meet or exceed the the "fuel can" metric, and our petroleum-based needs become only non-fuel based.🙂

    You missed the point of the show LMAO. These characters aren't "bad." They live in a world where they have to steal to survive, not to mention their parents died when they were very young. And in their world they grew up knowing that they were (for some reason) "worse people" than the people living in top side. I feel like you only watched the first 3 episodes of the show man. 😭
