1. It's always someone else's fault…

   Isn't that right mr Unibomber?

2. Does anyone know if Michael has like a book recommendation video up anywhere?

3. dang that is genuinely interesting

4. 6:00 just play video games, it makes you feel like you're accomplishing something while keeping you occupide

5. Idk I but I get hella fulfilment after finishing a book more so than building a structure manually which I have done, etc

6. Synchronicity. 11:11

7. Interestingly enough communism has a similar critique of capitalism; as workers don’t see themselves in the products they produce; and so are dissatisfied

8. Would i still do my eX Kappa

9. 7:20 thought he was talking about ecstasy lmao

10. CNN: ETHAN SAYS HE WANTS TO “BLOW UP SOME SCHOOLS”

11. This is so alexa despacito please play sad

12. It’s good technology has increased how much life the earth can support

13. I want to hear more philosophical talk on the H3 podcast!

14. the movie is called Dune

15. Way late here and this comment won't ever be seen, save for some random half asleep person scrolling through shit, but–yes, you would want to track the moon, as that is exactly what ancient cultures did.

16. As someone who has read the Unabomber Manifesto, and currently his reading his later works, Ted Kaczynski is truly an underappreciated hero. No one cane agree with his violent actions, but his philosophical need to be explored upon. If we don't , we are doomed, which is sadly very likely.

17. The next stage has to be changing what humanity is in order to adapt to our new way of life, and deliberately selecting humans who thrive in the new environment.

18. Ahhh hearing this guys voice again is so satisfying

19. A want to see that movie now. Actually, Michael would probably be a kickass director.

20. Thinking that personality comes from genes.
    Then they say that personality is molded by the world around us.

21. H3: We can't fight with progress
    Church: hold ma beer

22. Moral values stem from core "non-moral" values i.e. Survival,pleasure, happiness. Happiness could come through simplicity brought about by technology.

23. OMG that's what I've been thinking years ago I didn't know people wrote books on it :O

24. no matter how far we advance, i feel like the time we live in now which has pseudo balance between technology and natural existence is gonna be one of the best

25. v sauce sounds like an idiot

26. God I wish I had Michael's voice

27. I think a video of vsauce quoting the unibomber just inspired me to start a band and work on my career

28. If dogs had developed bigger brains and become the dominant species on Earth first, they would've eventually developed the Internet.

    I agree with Ethan. Progress, or perhaps more accurately improvement, is inevitable for sentient species.

29. This goes to the theory that in primitive societies, for children, "Work IS Play" and they train for survival with their play-time. Like digging holes, climbing trees, etc.

30. Luddites urgh

31. Nature doesn't care if you approve

32. We are not losing the natural feeling of over coming challenges. We are in the midst of achieving a higher level on the hierarchy of needs. We are in an transition period.

33. 8:42 Holy Fuck… that hit like a ton of bricks as soon as I realized what that meant… I don't think Michael even realized what he was saying… Suicide is a method of natural selection like it betters humanity, and not in the "haha you should kill yourself" kinda way….. Therapy and antidepressants are good and all… but longterm which is better?….. Ok…… I'm reeeeeeally depressed now…. fuuuuck. but at the same time… the minds of those who are disturbed to the point of debating suicide are often the most creative and "out of the box" thinkers they are the unique…. so the question I must ask is this, In a world that has only the minds that willingly submit to the social norm… can society ever evolve… and if, that were to happen… would that not actually be natural de-evolution?

    fuck, this is why you don't watch vsause at 1 am

34. re: new natural selection 9:41 "is everyone just like — the kind of mind that thrives in a corporate environment?" we already are? not saying everyone is like that, but aren't the richest most "successful" people in our tech-bio world thriving in a corporate / political environment already?

35. I'm more inclined to believe the predictions of Idiocracy

36. Yall nibbas ever heard of ebalution

38. So many people in this world have horrible diets, don't exercise enough. Hide from and avoid discomfort…..and you're asking why so many people are depressed?

39. @ 1:20 we see a vulgar materialist argument. This argument downplays the conscious, active, role of people in the shaping of the modern world. This modern society was built by humans who possessed the faculties needed to build societies for millions of years. We didn't build societies until very recently because we lacked the knowledge of things needed to create and maintain a civilization.

    Our constant struggle with nature led us to building modern societies.

40. For fuck's sake i'm being obsessed by this video

41. Daddy

42. tbh michael's view of 30ka from now is pretty much the same as it is rn lol xd

43. Ethan I did what your saying about how people need satisfaction and fulfillment. I think the best way to get that today is to make something for the sake of making.

44. Unfortunately, what people won't recognize is what people who are demonstrably smart are satisfied with, which is usually sophisticated or creative activities. They also will say that we've evolved to do the things we've had to do for the longest time, but won't recognize that the same process is still going on. Nothing is outside of nature, even your pointless argument about staying a caveman is natures way of letting people figure out what evolution really entails.. The clever people, that is

45. Video games like runescape and progressing your character give you this sense of fulfillment which is why I play runescape. Then it does hit that you wasted hours grinding something in a game that doesn’t actually get you anything in real life
