The difference is not so much in defending it but plugging the holes in it. Which I believe I have done. That is different from ‘throwing the baby out with the bathwater’ because the answer is only 75% correct. Every alternative is worse.

Q: CURT: “WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE WORLD AFFAIRS?”
I would need a more specific question otherwise the answer might not interest you. In general the industrial revolution was quite powerful, the first world wars ended the monarchies, and the second ended the empires. The Americans did not finish off the chinese communists or the Russian communists, so the Americans left two groups seeking to preserve empires. Western technological advantage has been mediated by global trade. Americans can no longer afford to police the world pattern of finance and trade, so the three civilizational empires are seeking restoration: Russia, China, and Iran as a caliphate. These three groups are harmful to their people but they have maintained enough power, that they see an opportunity for expansion as the USA withdraws and europe’s population collapses along with their economies. At the same time the success of the postwar neo-marxists has succeeded in sewing discord in western countries -particularly the USA, that in the absence of monarchies has no means of repressing those seditions. As such the world is returning to a conflict of civilizations, a decline in trade routes, a decline in globalism, and a rather scary decline in world standards of living. The USA is very close to a civil war which we should expect by 2032, and the only question is whether that civil war or a world war happens first. Which will be the end of empires as a continuation of the unfinished world wars, or the end of nation states, national sovereignty, human rights, free trade, and the western production of the current state of prosperity.
Everything else happening in the world is just ‘noise’ as that process proceeds to it’s deterministic conclusion.

Coloring reflects latitude, with people ligther the farther north.
Whiteness is a relatively recent adaptation, within the past 20k years.
Europeans and east asians diverged from south eurasians around 40K years ago.
South eurasians diverge from africans sometime before that. I don’t know how early it started, but likely by 60k years ago.
Out of africa repeatedly from 100-60k years ago.
Africa continued divergence from old africans since then.

INCENTIVES: THE FIRST WORLD WAR’S PROPONENTS
Strategic Intersets
The proponents feared that if the Allies were defeated, the balance of power in Europe would shift in favor of the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire). This shift could threaten U.S. interests and influence globally. By supporting the Allies, the U.S. could help shape the post-war world order in a way that favored democratic values and American strategic interests.
Economic Interests
Financial Stakes: American businesses and banks had significant financial investments in the success of the Allied powers. The U.S. had extended large loans to Britain and France, and the victory of these countries was crucial for ensuring the repayment of these loans. A defeat of the Allies would likely result in financial losses for American investors and could have severe economic repercussions domestically (History Hit).
Trade and Commerce: The war had already disrupted international trade routes, and American businesses were concerned about the long-term impacts on global trade. By entering the war, the U.S. could protect its commercial interests and ensure that it remained a dominant player in international trade after the war

Depends on what you mean by catastrophism. If you mean the disturbing regularity of great dyings, or the dramatic geological and climatological consequences on life with disturbing regularity, then I mean, that’s pretty hard to disagree with.
The electric universe is another bit of nonsense even if there is a grain of truth here and there the conclusions drawn from those grains of truth are nonsense.
There isn’t a lot of mystery left at the large scale for mankind, our evolution, or even the evolution of earth, or the evolution of the solar system.
That doesn’t mean we know everything, but we aren’t missing the exciting stuff we wish we found. In fact, just the opposite. instead we have a deeper understanding of the psychological wants for those exciting things even though they don’t exist and there is no evidence. 😉

OUT OF AFRICA AND BACK AND FORTH
Alternative theories are nonsense on stilts. Yes, there was back and forth gene flow. There was back and forth gene flow between previous generations of man. But the what’s called ‘the whole kit’ emerged in east africa, spread across into then-green saudi peninsula, but settled in the then-dry persian gulf and it’s many rivers and marshes – the optimum ground for mankind. And then spread out following the coastal route. Because once you have fishing you’re never going to starve. Conversely, if you migrate for large game up the rivers whether the Tigris and Euphrates or the Indus, you will find game that has no experience with humans and the returns on that game, especially given the furs, skins, and bones, were better than those of the fish in the sea. So yes there has always been back and forth gene flow, and yes some of the backward gene flow was contributory because it’s easier to isolate and speciate outside of africa than in it – if you have the ‘full kit’ of technologies necessary to survive in numbers outside of africa.

It’s nonsense. And those videos are beyond nonsense. They’re fun. They’re a mythology. But it’s total nonsense.
