There you go.

This may not be a cure-all, but it's pretty comprehensive.

Much the same as blockchain - it could have been exciting and fun, but it was immediately put to work to exploit people, and in the end that's what the tools effectively were.

I think the topics they make videos on these days feel more gimicy and click baity so I kinda avoid them

They don't say that, though?

They say things like "with effort, we can solve climate change, or minimise its effects."

Which is very different. And personally, I hate over the top doomerism where everyone says everything is fucked beyond repair all the time.

There's nothing helpful about giving up though is there.

And we could stop climate change, it's entirely possible, presumably people don't want to die so they will take action but they probably not going to start to act until climate change becomes more apparent, that's depressing but that's human nature. Humans have a long history of making radical changes at the last minute, e.g the cold war.

We like to go right up to the cliff edge but we tend not to take the final step.

After all even China is cleaning up its act and they're the least likely to be cooperative so if even they're doing something about it there's hope.

capitalism will solve climate change

Tangential, but thats what disgusted me about the Osaka world expo. The theme was sustainability so you had fossil fuel companies presenting wildly impractical "solutions" and art projects. The message was "things are under control, continue sleepwalking into oblivion"

We will not solve it, it's way too late for that. Still, every 0.01°C additional warming counts. People not born yet will suffer more from everything we don't do now. So, rolling on our backs and giving up is not helping at all. Going vegan is a easy first step to make a difference. Start blowing up pipelines after that. :)

Have you heard of the experiment with swimming rats and how much longer they swam when given hope? We need hope to survive.

Though they don't say we will solve it, but that we can solve it if we start now.

If you actually watch the video that's not what they're talking about. They are talking about how it's difficult to fact check information in a world of AI misinformation.

I always find it's easier to know what a video is about if I actually watched the video. It's just this little life hack I've come up with.

I don't think they are techno-solutionists but that sometimes is the vibe they give off.

I just think there's some directions they won't go thanks to the threat of capital.

Techno-solutionist lol. The power of labels eh?

Large YouTube channels usually try different titles and thumbnails during the first few hours after upload, so the title OP posted was probably accurate at the time of posting.

Either Kurzgesagt changed the title, or it's A/B testing with multiple titles. When I watched the video yesterday, it had the same title as OP used

They changed it.
