Cat Explains Industrial Revolution

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race They have greatly increased the life expectancy for those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but have destabilized society, made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the third world to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world It will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries.

В мультяшном видео кот-лектор у доски начинает цитировать манифест о последствиях промышленной революции, а серый кот слушает за партой. Затем камера приближает самодовольное лицо рассказчика, пока длинная серьёзная тирада о страданиях человечества продолжается. Шутка строится на абсурдном контрасте между смешными котами и чрезмерно мрачным, интеллектуальным монологом; ролик отправляют как реакцию на технологический прогресс, общество или занудное морализаторство. EN: In this cartoon video, a lecturer cat at a board begins quoting a manifesto about the consequences of the Industrial Revolution while a gray cat listens at a desk. The camera then zooms in on the speaker’s smug face as the long, grim tirade about human suffering continues. The joke comes from the absurd contrast between funny cats and an excessively bleak intellectual monologue; people send it as a reaction to technological progress, society, or overly serious moralizing.

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life expectancy of those of us who live in advanced countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering in the third world to physical suffering as well, and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world. It will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in advanced countries.
