  Thanks for condensing my childhood existential crises into a singular 30-ish minute video

  Went from "oh that's neat" to "ahhhhhh" by the end.

  From anyone else, I would write off a 'far future iceberg' as pointless clickbait, but the trust I have in the quality of your videos far outweighs that immediate assumption, and I thoroughly enjoyed this exploration of our current predictions for the future.

  The fact that humans only first appeared 300,000 years ago and that the first civilization is only 4000 years old is a terrifyingly short period of time, and really puts things in perspective.

  The universe has fallen, quintillion stars must die.

  one thing I think is notable about Dune as a "future prediction" that you didn't touch on is the idea that humanity has totally destroyed/outlawed all "thinking machines." this becomes more of a relevant plot point every day as progressions are made with AI, and the idea of it developing to the point where robots and humans eventually go to war with each other, and one or the other is totally eradicated.

  Every time I think about the far future, I become deeply unsettled and sometimes erratic. Watching this should be a good idea.

  I was expecting &apos;All Tomorrows&apos; and &apos;After Man&apos; somewhere in the middle, but I guess they could be an Iceberg all by themselves
