It is not often that we get a film that shows us the general behaviour of people in our moderns society like the film "Don't Look Up" is able to do. It shows that at the brink of disaster we might not be able to listen to our so beloved Reason.
In this video we will explore the feeling of powerlessness as experienced by the scientists and the reason why people do not listen to these scientists i.e. to Reason, in the first place.
The aim of the video is not to say something about the obvious plot of the film, that is, climate change, American politics, etc. But solely on the psychological significance of the film.

I think one of the main problems with science is how we communicate and associate it with the concept of Truth, in the process making it an equal to the religious Truth, which is not. The scientific process is about research and understanding to our best of our abilities, acknowledging our ignorance and viewing the research not as the search of the ultimate truth but a better understanding, in contrast to religious dogmas which believe in a supreme unfallable intelligence that does not do wrong, not letting in the process people acknowledge their ignorance. And I believe due to the association of science with truth it has lead to many people, like flat earthers or religions, to antagonize it because they believe they are against another equal opposite Truth, not a research process which is what it is about. (and honestly main stream science communicators arent doing a good job at really saying what science is and is about, although the concepts of science they do explain very well) P.S. In my opinion I think as humans we should start acknowledging ourselves as animals, after all we are first animals and then individuals, and by acknowledging our constraints and limitations, in mind and body, we can then expand our abilities and power.

I really like your insight that the problem is in the definition and the communication of the concept of science itself. We should have like a proper "public relations office" which propagates the true meaning of science in contrast to religion and especially dogma. 😄

Ice is falling from the sky because the firmament is a ball of glass and the layer of ice on its under side is falling off. I'm not sure if this encapsulates the message of this video?

Just watched the movie and I have to admit that I am truly in shock, a serieus must watch just like that other movie Idiocracy 2006.

Hey nice vid! I also made a analysis on the movie but just on Randall Mindy, maybe i can change your opinion😃 (Mede nederlander😌)

Thanks! I watched your video and I liked your analysis of Dr. Mindy. My question to you would still be, that even after his individuation process in the film, do you think that saving the earth should be the goal, or making peace with yourself like he did in the end, knowing that this will be more important than saving your unhappy self? (Ga zo door met je videos! 😄)

@@eversbrothersproductions1476 well you can go both directions, his mission was saving the earth but he lost his mission out of sight and lived his celebrity life. I think he should have thought about everything in a more deeper sense, so lets say he would figure out wat was more important for him. but as you saw in my analysis, Dr. Mindy is someone that goes for pleasure and runs away from painfull facts like saving the earth. I think Dr. Mindy was the wrong person for the job and should give the mission to somebody that had more dedication for saving the earth. it shouldn't be Dr. Mindy's goal to save the earth!

But "respect for the word of science" is in itself one of the four Lacanian discourses (the "University" discourse) and all discourses involve a belief (that the Master knows what to do in the Master discourse, that the Master is dead in the University discourse, that "science" is inconsistent in the discourse of the "Hysteric" and that the Analyst knows your thoughts in the discourse of the Analyst). So why is the guy who predicts the world's end in the film a "truth teller" while one who questions the vaccine mandates is a "miss-informer"? And btw, Jesus' message was not that he was God but that the God of Heavens is dead and we have only ourselves to rely on.
