We\u2019ve still got a long way to go! While most people\u2019s main concerns revolve around material comfort, entertainment, and instant gratification, who truly cares about the fate of the most vulnerable? About social exclusion?

Who cares about sustainable development and peace for everyone? A true Type I civilization would be collectively focused on optimizing how it functions and shaping a better future for everyone. We\u2019re still very, very far from that.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Support this channel on Patreon to help me make this a full time job: \/ whatdamath (Unreleased videos, extra footage, DMs, no ads)<br \/> Alternatively, PayPal donations can be sent here: <a href=\"http:\/\/paypal.me\/whatdamath\">http:\/\/paypal.me\/whatdamath<\/a>.<br \/> Get a Wonderful Person Tee: <a href=\"https:\/\/teespring.com\/stores\/whatdamath\">https:\/\/teespring.com\/stores\/whatdamath<\/a>.<br \/> More cool designs are on Amazon: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3QFIrFX\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3QFIrFX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hello and welcome!
