# Ice Ages, World War III, and a Mars Base for Civilization - Original post: https://www.twitter.com/i/status/1793580391179116865 - Source account: [@OMApproach](https://x.com/OMApproach) - Source language: English - Duration: 2:36 - Published: 2026-11-10 - Canonical URL: https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization ## Transcript [0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization) Earth's climate also changes pretty radically over the course of like, say, ten thousand years. [0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=5) Um, you know, it can shift from being extremely hot to extremely cold and turn into sn-snowball. [0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=12) Gone through tons of ice ages, right? Yeah. [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=16) You can really go down a deep rabbit hole if you read about ice ages. So interesting. That's crazy. [0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=21) That, that, how much Earth's climate has changed, and even where the, where the magnetically where the poles are have, has shifted over time. [0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=30) Well, we're technically in sort of an ice age right now, although it depends on what you call an ice age. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=38) Um- What happened to global warming? Wait, but yeah, how so? [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=42) Like what defines an ice age at that point? Global warming's not like cool anymore. [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=45) You lost it. It's, it's, it's a deep rabbit hole. [0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=47) The, uh, I think there was probably something significant that happened at the, um, in, in the last ice age because we don't see any evidence of writing. [0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=58) We-- So when I say I'm using ice age in the colloquial term, like, um, of, of like wh-when, when, when was it very snowy, uh, and, and where, where the glaciers came down far and where, where summer was short and winter was very long, [1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=72) and that was about ten thousand years ago. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=75) Um, so some-something happened around, I think, around that ice age that because we, we see no writing. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=85) How do you- No, no writing before that ice age, and we, we start to see writing pop up in multiple places on Earth after that, after the most recent colloquially termed ice age. [1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=94) We don't know, but there's likely to be another dark ages, which my guess is there probably will be at some point, particularly if there's a third world war. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=101) Then we wanna make sure that there's enough of us, of a seed of human civilization somewhere else to bring civilization back and perhaps, uh, shorten the length of the dark ages. [1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=111) You know, I think that's why it's, it's important to get a self-sustaining base, um, ideally on Mars because Mars is far enough away from Earth that a c- that a war on Earth, the Mars base might survive. [2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=121) It's more likely to survive than a moon base. [2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=123) But I think a moon base and a Mars base that, um, that could perhaps help regenerate life back here on Earth would be really important and to get that done before a possible World War III. [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=133) You know, last, last century we had two massive world wars, three if you count the Cold War. [2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=138) I think it's unlikely that we'll never have another world war again. [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=141) Um, there probably will be at some point. [2:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=142) Or if we have another one, it'll be the last. [2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=144) Yeah, it, it just could be radioactive rubble. [2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=147) Well, if you say given enough time, will it be? Most likely. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/28ztBKtRkEpI/en/ice-ages-world-war-iii-and-a-mars-base-for-civilization?t=149) This is, has been our pattern in the past.
