This dude's videos are stimulating, thought-provoking, and hopeful. It's very rare to find an intelligent, passionate prediction for our species that is also optimistic.

Most of his videos are under two minutes. Check out his site, which is basically just a library for the videos.

This guy is irritating as fuck. First off I hate the fucking music he uses, so many videos ,commercials uses that similar music, you know that music you hear in breast cancer commercials telling people theres hope try this new medicine. Then he kicks a bunch of scientific mumble jumbo at a fast pace while youre seeing some flashy side show, shit reminds me of the tunnel scene in Willy Wonkas Factory. Most of what he says you'll forget about instantly after he says it. And he's too optimistic, talks about the wonderful advances in technology without recognizing the side effects . He refers to humanity as were all on the same page yet only recognizes advances in western civilization .Dude seems like a sale man if anything.

Bill Nye the Science guy's video are far better with out the stupid music, psychedelic slide show, and rapid talking of an auctioneer. Yes, less is more

I enjoy this guy's point of view. The balance is very necessary. Too much doom & gloom on our future prospects, it's just hopeful and refreshing. It makes good sense to me, also.
