“We Are Animals” aka “Modern Ape’s Futile Yet Valiant Attempt to Make Sense of Modern Ape Society”

A down-to-earth, as universal and objective as possible, mostly philosophical, sometimes humorous, often tangential discussion from a cynical optimist about why we puzzling modern humans behave like we do, in order to try and understand society, people and life on earth. I provide no answers and try my best to avoid being opinionated. Hopefully this somehow helps someone out there who also has some of these same thoughts and questions. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:55 Politics & Nationalism (Why I Almost Didn't Make This Video) 00:09:56 We Are Animals! 00:12:25 My Condolences (To All Life on Earth) 00:20:14 Life: Is All of It Precious or Not? 00:31:50 Violence: The Intrinsic Nature of Life on Earth 00:50:53 The Pitfalls of Absolute Freedom 01:07:14 Society & Morals: Can We Have Our Cake and Eat it Too? 01:26:37 Sociopathy & Narcissism Gone Wild! 01:41:44 Conspiracies - Truths, Lies, and Possibilities 01:50:17 The Dangers of Fanaticism & Being Religious (About Anything) 01:56:28 Personal Accountability & Responsibility 02:00:19 The Herd Mentality 02:03:39 Less Political Hierarchy, More Societal Cooperation? 02:07:29 Final thoughts Video Playlists: All Playlists ► https://bit.ly/2HYYG0g Welcome to ER ► https://bit.ly/34RQlnH Real Talk ► https://bit.ly/3n13q4H ASMR Character Performances ► https://bit.ly/364b2fT Arkham Sanitarium / Rift World ASMR ► https://bit.ly/2TRquGu Experimental ASMR ► https://bit.ly/3oVOqGG Traditional ASMR ► https://bit.ly/2GoRQQZ Nature Videos ► https://bit.ly/35ZbJHc Gameplays ► https://bit.ly/2Lkmygt ASMR Eating ► https://bit.ly/3lEe4hq Website ► https://ephemeralrift.com
