The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant | CGP Grey

eric3579 says...

The grim reaper has been a companion in my mind for quite some time, but for now consider this video a season finale for me on the topic and the end result of the many discussions with my good friend Philipp of Kurzgesagt about death and the future of life resulting in the videos that we have produced over the last few months. -CGP Grey http://www.cgpgrey.com/blog/the-fable-of-the-dragon-tyrant

Homeopathy Explained – Gentle Healing or Reckless Fraud?

ChaosEngine says...

Hmmm, even though I love Kurzgesagt and this is an informative video. There are easy answers to the questions posed at the start.

How does homeopathy work? It doesn't.
How did it become what it is today? People are easily swindled.
What can modern medicine learn from it? NOTHING.

Yeah, they go on to talk about viewing the patient as a person, etc, but that is not that important. I don't want my doctor sitting down and having a chat with everyone, I want them to treat them and move on to the next patient. Maybe when we get to our AI-led post-scarcity utopia, but right now, medicine (like everything else) is a game of finite resources. Do you really want to waste the time of a highly trained (and highly paid) medical professional? Because while they're talking to you about your vague sense of unease, someone else is dying.

Universal Basic Income Explained - Free Money for Everybody?

ChaosEngine says...

Agreed, but it's also going to be necessary due to automation.

*quality discussion from Kurzgesagt as always

The need for something like UBI is due to the runaway inequality caused by 'supply-side' thinking like Reaganomics and neo-liberalism.
