yeah I saw this when it came out, I take his point that population growth is slowing down in many countries from previous levels
however I think there are far too many humans on the planet already. We went from 1.5 billion in 1900 to 7.5 billion now. I think 1.5 billion might have been sustainable, but 7 billion clearly isn't.
He's a good presenter of stats, regardless

You say 7bn clearly isn't sustainable. What's so clear? What's your evidence?
Germany needed 'living space', remember? But now their population and quality of life and life expectancy are all much higher than before and they have a smaller country.
The overpopulation myth is dangerous and leads to things like ethnic cleansing and Brexit.

hmm, evidence?
how about the fact half the world lives in poverty and squalor. how about over the coming fifty years 3 billion people are going to be fleeing places too fucking hot to be livable because of the growing energy needs of 7 billion people www.pnas.org/content/117/21/11350. Want all these billions of poor to have better lives and microwaves? They're going to consume a lot more resources. More of the amazon will need to be chopped down. How about the fact of housing unaffordability, people crammed into increasing smaller shitty apartments, too many fuckers on the motorway, in the queue in front of me at the supermarket. you don't know how nicer it was even in the seventies to drive with fewer people. All because the left is too pissweak to face the real problem and thinks that switching to paper straws is the answer, and the right just wants more consumers. Too many people is the reason why in the 21st century with all our advantages we're not living like kings, and instead are living on increasingly shitty dying planet

Hi.
She asked for evidence that 7b was not sustainable.
You did not give any evidence for that.
You just went on a rant, like a flat Earther.

what are you, the fucking comment commentator?
if you want in on this then lay down an opinion, space boy. Tell me how sustainable the planet is, when all you do is watch videos of people trying to leave it.
Besides which, I clearly put a link to Q1 ranked PNAS article, which coincidentally is how people describe your argumentative skills, which I reckon should fall into even your clearly patchy concept of what 'evidence' is

you might disagree with the evidence, but I clearly supplied evidence which is what you were bitching about in your schoolboy meme attempt to whiteknight for brb
I happen to think that 3 billion people having to move in the next 50 years as the conditions become unbearably hot due anthropomorphic global warming is fairly good evidence that we're living unsustainably

The paper is about the climate changing.
That does not mean that 7b is unsustainable.
What you "happen to think" is a different matter entirely.
(, Sat 6 Jun 2020, 17:10, Reply)
yeah, you dont understand how scientific evidence works
When you see all the references in the back of a scientific paper, they're evidence to support the hypothesis. These papers are not saying "this persons main hypothesis is correct". It's how you build a solid conclusion, not by finding papers that agree with your main hypothesis, but those that support it. If you're unable to understand the connection and form a coherent counterargument, that's your failing.

On second listening it sounds like the pure evil tuning ratio makes a high octave flat by around a semitone (or a low octave sharp by a semitone if you prefer).

Centuries of Sound - 1925
I made this!
Travel back to 1925 with this soundscape mix of original sounds and some of the best music from a wide variety of genres and places - positive this is the best mix so far, so join me on a voyage into the OG 20s!
Just a note that while it's still free to stream, I got a little spooked by some things about lawyers coming after podcasters for using music, so the download is now just a 10-minute taster. The full dl is still there on Patreon, sorry if this seems money-grubbing, but got to find a way to make money from the thing which sucks up all my time.

Vinyl is often shit
Fixed if for you. You can get an awesome listening experience with vinyl, and it involves lots of cool looking expensive hi-fi, and high quality recordings, but other media can produce similar and better sound at a much lower price and without other drawbacks. It's really only for serious classical music hi-fi freaks. Or hipster wankism, take your pick. Or maybe actual live DJ'ing, like how it used to be done - before they just rocked up with a USB and hit play. Where's your middle age back problems from carrying that record bag you cunts! Sorry, I rant-mumbled.

Sampler = radio & tape recorder.
Signal generators (variable oscillators) had been a standard piece of audio/radio test equipment for decades by that point.
Drums were live.
Cool track and band, though (saw the modern incarnation a few years ago).
