"Civilization’s Inevitable Collapse

This video explores the philosophical, sociological, historical, and economic illusions that hold civilization together. Blending cultural commentary with psychological insight, it explores why progress so often feels hollow, why our social structures resemble elaborate theater, and what it all means for the human condition. A mix of wit, dry humor, and raw honesty, this is a cultural autopsy of modern society—and why we can’t stop building prisons for ourselves and calling them progress."

"The Functional Melancholic", a brilliant mind, on spot!

Worth listening to his talk, like every single one of his videos!

Ah, yes, an article asking how to create another baby boom by spending money like it's Monopoly, while ignoring the small details like, oh, the entire post-war economic boom and scientific advances. Because clearly, the best way to fix a birthrate issue is to write an essay instead of solving actual problems.
