I posted a link to this vid nearly two weeks ago, but this guy has a good time laughing at it. Some amusing and interesting discussion.

BTW, “the beautiful ones” is likely a reference to “Universe 25 ” or  an experiment with mice that showed that excess population density leads to disaster. A “rodent utopia” led to, among other horrors:

Consequently, the next generation of mice, having never experienced healthy mouse behaviour, had no concept of mating or parenting, or even territorialism. Some – dubbed the “beautiful ones” – spent their time eating, drinking, and grooming themselves in seclusion. Elsewhere, mice formed gangs of cannibalistic, raping plunderers.

Tell me that doesn’t sound a lot like modern cities. Go on. Tell me.

I wonder what would happen to the TikToker shown above if, on one of her drinking and partying binges after yet another empty, meaningless day of snacking, drinking and goofing off, she encountered some of the people that I’ve posted *other* kinds of videos about. Assuming she survived the experience with her brain still capable of rational thought, would she look at the world differently? Would she maybe reflect on her life spent accomplishing nothing and decide to maybe consider actually *doing* something?

I also wonder if she looks at young men whose greatest ambition is to spend all day playing online video games and thinks that *they* are losers.
