    A: A spurious copyright claim against some of the music used. All seems to be well again. (I mean that specifically. In general terms all is not well. My god, just look where we are etc.)
    I should add that the middle section with the cosmic predictions is entirely the speculations of cosmologists and astronomers of course. Only Cthulhu Himself truly knows how the world will end.

      Because you fear the idea of death, the lack of life, the limited time etc. Keep toying with words, it does nothing to change the reality. It's the same shit as "everything will be ok in the end, if it's not ok it's not the end" even though sources are definitely different lmao. Fear of death (no not the dangers, the end destination) is not functional to our ANIMAL existence, but once you say that there is literally nothing you can say next, here's a Wittgenstein for you. There is no "how to human", the only logical move is to create a better enviroment for ourselves, but we chose supremacy as a life goal. And that's because death is functional to our HUMAN existence, since you can ride the dread and push yourself further. That's why the world is shit. Would it be better if we lived as happy hippies? Who knows, we'd have way less progress etc. It's a giant avalanche of non answerable questions and empty talk that does nothing other than free the talkers' minds for a while. If you think you can block the primordial fear through a simple semantic play you're either really naive or desperate.

Then, about a minute later, I came out of my crisis, found acceptance, cured my new found anxiety, made me feel better than before, and gave me hope for the future. I now get a strangely calm feeling when I think about how small we are.

    What helped me cope with my own mortality was realizing that death is the reason why we value life to begin with. If everything lasts forever, eventually life would be like an endless curse that never ends. I feel like many people don't fully understand how long *forever* actually is. It would eventually drive you crazy. The fact that life is temporary is the reason why we have goals and aspirations, and appreciate the things we have.

      Vsauce was science, a dash of humor, with a small bit of philosophy as it applied to the science. Exurb1a is equal parts science, humor, and existential philosophy, which I believe is more appropriate and healthy for our times.
      Exurb1a is a UA-cam channel for an age when by next month, they may have invented a cure for cancer and/or general AI with responsible restraints, or by next month the Novel Coronavirus may have infected us all, dooming at least around 4% of the human population to die of heart and/or lung complications. In all reality, it will probably be somewhere in between.
      In short Vsauce was a channel for the late 2000's and the 2010's, and Exurb1a is a channel for the 2020's and the uncertain future.

    Thank you, I’ve been thinking about my impending death and the nothing that comes after. The fear of nothingness and no thought. Me losing every aspect of myself terrifies me and this video helped a little in understanding that while it is inevitable I can at least take the time to appreciate what I have now

    It started well, amusing, then... it became surprising, unexpected, beautiful, poetic, brilliant. One of the best videos I've ever watched. Many may find it exaggerated to call the video poetic; it seems, above all, very funny. But perhaps it's because many haven't undergone heart surgery or something equivalent to experience this reflection up close. In some parts, it may even seem a bit tiresome and veering off-topic, but later on, things fall into place. It's very challenging to address this topic with such depth and humor without slipping into cheap self-help and clichés. "It's just as arbitrary to lose hope as it is to find it" I loved it, perfect every second.

      Dont watch stuff which depresses you, learn to resist the urge to let yourself be pulled down by foolosophical stuff, go watch cat videos instead, or go outside pet a cat.
