While pure black/white is probably the best way we can visualize Nothingness, I think an infinite realm of pure transparency, like windows that never have something behind them fits better as the embodiment of the concept of 0
you are so correct but humans can not comprehend such a thing outside of pitch black/pure white although, saying "pitch black, pure white, all the same" kind of expresses that the best that I personally could
Probably someone already said this, but The thing that makes nothingness so Terrying and interesting at The same time IS The fact that we can't even start to comprehend It. When we think of nothing, a puré black or White space comes to our minds, but that black or White IS a color and a thing. So, thinking of nothing, IS like trying to imagine a new color, you just cant. (Obviously, this Is my point of view, I can be Wrong or something)
Once i stopped confusing nothingness with sensory deprivation, i completely stopped fearing it. Nothingness isn't this pitch black void, it's something beyond human comprehension, it's like trying to imagine a new color.

No one exists. To be is to be alive, and to be alive is to be dead. If life is everything is death is nothing, then existence is nonexistence for the sake of nothingness. Nothing is everything and everything is nothing.
@@TheGreaseManHimself 🫵fellow brainrotter As for a proper take, I do believe that absurdism is the best philosophical explanation for everything, or at the very least an inspiring resignation to one's own limitations, as the very divide between inexistence and existence is unexplainable and quite honestly absurd. Hence, everything else derived from it has to a degree or more absurd baked into it. Sure, we may be able to quantify the absurd to an extent, but the very action itself is done through inherently absurd means within the context, and is then rendered absurd. Everything is absurd....and therefore nothing is. It's a comforting thought, that there's no true right or wrong, and that whatever exists and happens is at the simple whims of universal entropy, because then everything one does becomes part of the whole...part of the "scenery". You, too, are absurd, so be proud of it, continue your impossible dream-- do not give up your pursuit to find out if there's something more to all this. Take comfort in discrepancy and duality, for its kinship will make the world your dearest friend.
counterarguement: what about your impact. If you're still remembered for something, I'd be inclined to say you still exist, nonexistance in my mind implies you get completely forgotten and you just get passed by as time ebbs forward.

you bastard, you just had to give me another hit of existential dread, for about 7 years I have had that horrid realization that plagues my every waking moment, it causes me to have fucking panic attacks, its the worst...
As someone who wasted an entire year of his life on this here's a sort of basic affirmation that helped me: "Yes, oblivion is waiting at the end of the road. But right now you're alive, and being alive is amazing, it's potential. So how dare you squander your limited time on earth on existential dread when you could be doing anything else instead." (Exact wording may worry by person, I need to be harsh with myself) And then you take it one day at a time, develop mental resilience and surround yourself with those people that give you purpose and joy. Genuinely wishing you all the best with your recovery.
This makes me think of Octopath traveler 2, and having said that: Major spoiler warning for Octopath Traveler 2. What this makes me think of is the plan of a character named Oboro. Growing up he's seen the evils of humanity and the hatred it holds, and as such he comes up with a plan to plunge the entire world into darkness. His reasoning is that if the world is plunged into darkness, no one will able to hurt anyone ever again. I bring this all up because I don't fully understand what his plan is. The external darkness shown in game is an eternal night where the dawn will never come to pass, and that wouldn't prevent the people from, hurting each other. But; having said that, this eternal night only occurs after the seals on Vidania are released and before Vide is fully revived, which implies that the eternal darkness Oboro is searching for could be something else. All these facts and the topic of this video makes me wonder if the eternal darkness that video brings is truly nothingness. Technically speaking Vide's power is that over shadow, and shadows are caused by the absence of light. Darkness is of course also the absence of light, so it could be that Vide's goal is the erasure of existence itself since an eternal night is caused by a fraction of Vide's full power. This would also allow for Oboro's plan to make more sense. The darkness he was searching for could be the absence of existence, and if nothing were to exist then humanity would no longer be able to commit acts of evil. Helping with this theory, Vide's name translates to "Void" in French. I don't think I need to explain that there. It does also translate to "See" in Latin, but that doesn't have anything to do with what I'm talking about right now, atleast not at an immediate glance. Considering how in depth everything I've talked about so far is, Vide being "See" in Latin 100% means something though, I'm just not really sure what. Also, don't even get me started on "Those who deny the dawn", the game's final boss theme, there is so much in depth meaning in there and this comment would be twice as long if I were to rant about that.
One thing I am surprised wasn't in this videos reading of non-existence is that not all people fear it, and some even find comfort in non-existence. While it may be a hefty topic it's something that's such a big part of the story of both bojack and circle bedboy. It's an enticing calm to the worst of this world, and some see it as a solution to the problem. So even at the high point where you fear it or the low point where you hope for it, you always have to remind yourself that your life exists in others. What you are and what you were will always be how you treated those around you. That is just my reading of the song and show anyway, big dad better address this big issue/s
Sometimes when i am about to fall asleep i think of the fact that after death... There's nothing, and i just can't shake it of, i can't find a way to comfort myself, to distract me from the feeling of dread it fills me with. So i just stop thinking, tell myself to stop, that there's no point in thinking about it... After all, there's nothing we can do about it, and i just can't cope with it.
It is the same fate of everithing that lives so altho you or anyone can deal whit death it is still something that everybody does and your loved ones too, all of us whatever fate is after life even complete void, it commune us so even complete void it is not actualy lonliness
I used to be like that too. Here's two things that might make it better: First off, we don't know for sure what happens to consciousness after death, or even what consciousness IS. There have been some interesting experiments involving Near-Death Expereinces, but nothing concrete. Secondly, after death your atoms and energy will remain part of the universe, just like they were before you were born. The fact that you exist right now proves that you CAN exist. Death won't prevent you from existing again. Basically, Reincarnation is actually surprisingly compatable with a purely Materialist universe.
@@somebodyrandom27 i also hold this belief, if the universe is finite and if time is infinite, then what makes you can happen again. time perception is cool too, if you dont even experience the time, it'll go by in an instant.
Bojack Horseman is obviously accurate, but the way The Circle 7:35 is set up here seems to be false. It could slot in with atheist, Christian, or agnostic perspective, and the latter two make far more sense to me within the context of the song; the game actually disproves the perspective that Bedman just woke up Delilah and gave the Bed orders. The way the lines are set up, it could either be Bedman not comprehending existence, or realising that his consciousness will remain for all eternity(Time being the thing that gives life meaning). The Circle could be the circle of life or circles of hell, but it could also mean Samsara, or most likely just the afterlife itself. That last one makes the most sense if he is ‘on the border of the circle’ until he ‘struggled to go outside the circle’ in the last chorus, that same line absolutely proving that Bedman left the Circle that is the afterlife, putting his consciousness into the Bed in his last moments. Hell, the game even alludes to his consciousness being in the bed multiple times, with it having organic teeth and Delilah’s description says it’s where she ‘senses her brother’, the Bed having its own description also kinda proves this, as well as all the other stuff in the DLC story. It also goes infinitely harder if you envision the bridge as him rejecting god, rejecting the afterlife, just so he ‘can give someone something’ in the form of being there as the bed for Delilah. Again, this isn’t his theme while dying, it’s his theme when he’s dead. ‘World I left and can’t reach’ sounds a ton more like a dead man than a dying one. In conclusion nuh uh, also what the fuck did I just type why is the Guilty Gear lore like this
This reminds me of something I learned in philosophy. The desire to not exist. Not the desire to die, but the desire to not exist. Often described as the want of going to sleep and not waking up again. It’s a contradictory idea, these people who desire to not exist, do not desire to die, but instead, to experience, non-experience. To float in an endless sea of nothingness, yet to be aware of yourself and your surroundings.
I lowkey was having fears about this recently. The concept of things not going black, but just going makes my heart beat irregularly. The way i cant comprehend anything before my earliest memory will be my end. Thats such a harrowing concept, and it honestly makes me wonder why life is the way it is. Us as humans try to grasp on to existance so hard that we will create any idea that there is a life after death. We want so hard to be, that we cannot accept the idea of not being.
I live life with the comfort of inevitable oblivion that comes with death. The thought that I may be conscious for eternity is more horrifying than anything else.
To enjoy the ability to think is one you shouldn't take for granted, for without that, you are not you, even living through the world of your imagination is better than not living at all..
NO, that is NOT what the video or life is about! The video talks about the concept of nothingness. How would "nothing" look like? How we cannot imagine it. Struggles, victories, pain, anything you see - it's still SOMETHING. Dying is a terrifying concept, if you assume you turn into nothing, which is why we ae urged to LIVE. The other topic of the video is about how life has its ups and downs (Dundundun duun duuun). How it can't end in a happy or a sad end, because it simply continues. If it were to END, there would be nothing. Because of that, we have to live in present and face it. Appreciate the moments of calm and manage through the bad!
I'll be honest, this hits so hard after losing someone My brother in law passed away less than a month ago, it hit everyone in the family and every since I have been with "death" as a topic on my mind, more than I had before. It's soul crushing to see that the world moves on while your life has stopped, but also reassuring, somehow. Idk
Intern: sorry, Ishiwatari sir, the gravity made the hourglass fall over, so the top part, like, yknow, the circle? It fell off, and now I’ve lost the town inside. Please excuse me Daisuke: wait…say all that one more time?
its like a blink sleep where you blink and sleep until you wake up again, not known when or how, you just will one day. and it will feel like a quick minute
I don't have a fear of non-existance, for me I had the opposite, I just wanted to stop existing. I didn't like the idea of self harming(or further) but I couldn't stand the daily torture of barely living. I'm doing better now, I have a direction I want to go now, and I don't have as bad a mental health as I did when I was still in school. Now to be truthful my mentality and how I act has been forever scarred by school, (negatively) and I'm still disfunctional in my social side. I have to monitor myself super strictly, it's the only way for me to get anything done without breaking down. I guess I could be described as a stoic 20 year old introvert that doesn't react to things like a normal 20 year old, because some social cues I just don't get. I almost have to forge an act to try and react normally, but I still struggle to figure out what is "normal." And no, I'm not a sociopath, I'm not lacking emotion or morale.
I heard once that being dead is like before you are even born, and it does make sense cuz i wasn't sad i wasn't born, nor i wanted anything, thats what it will be after i die in the worst case. Its kinda calming in a way
Ngl I find the fact that it's just power off after you kick the bucket comforting. Non existence is usually thought about as if you could perceive not existing. Nah mate if you didn't exist you would be there to give to shits. You wouldn't be bothered cause there is no you to be bothered.
You're not realizing the issue, its the other way around, the worry isn't after, its before, everyone is stressed that one day we won't even have the mental capacity to stress, we won't have anything, at all, ever again..
@@KWCHope I know the worry is in the before cause there is literally no ability to worry after. The reason why I don't worry now is thta I know that independently of what happens I will no longer exist to think it's either good or bad. If I will not give a fuck when it happens why would I give a fuck before it happens. You literally do not exist to perceive anything as good or bad thus it can be neither good or bad. You just will not even be able to give a fuck cause you will no longer exist. I personally find peace with that.
@@KWCHope Yeah and projecting on it a moral feeling of bad even tho you will literally be unable to give to fucks. The reason why I say I don't worry about death in the before is because I know that when I am dead I won't be able to feel any one way about it. It can't be bad cause it can't be at all. Worrying about how it will feel to be unable to feel is a contradiction you won't be able to feel to give a damn either way
you ever get that feeling of existential dread when lying in bed in the middle of the night and you’re like “oh fuck, eventually I’ll die”? Yeah the Bojack horseman part of the video gave me that exact feeling while in the middle of the day surrounded by other people, good job 🥲
The way I see it, the fact that I exist right now proves that I'm something that CAN exist. Death won't change that. Maybe one day the atoms and energy that somehow add up to my consciousness will come back together, and I will live again as something else. It's already happend at least once. Basically, reincarnation is surprisingly compatible with a purely Materialistic universe. Of course, we haven't completely ruled out the existence of something akin to a soul, since we still don't really know what consciousness actually is. There have been some interesting experiments involving Near-Death Experiences, but nothing concrete.
Non-existence doesn't scare me all that much because, like, I don't exist. I don't comprehend, I do not feel anything, I have no capacity to feel. I don't care if I don't exist because if I don't exist I don't have the capacity to care.
man, i hope that in these times of difficulty, you can still stand, pls don't give p, you make such a good content that i'd really love to help you, but sadly i can't since i got no job yet, but still, i hope everything turns out well and have a nice day
You and death will never meet, for by the time you are dead, you wont be around to meet death, and death wont be able to meet you, because you will already be gone
not to sound like a threat to myself, but I don't understand why non-existance is so scary. i mean, so what if I never got to smooch that special they/them or whatever: I'm not around to regret it anymore
dang, right when i was over my existencial crisis, back to depression i guess. Of course i am joking but this genuenly had me awaken for the past months, it was terrible, and i didn't even noticed i was in a loop before it stopped, now i acknoledge i am back in my normal loop but as i lived such enxtended period in another loop is it really normal anymore? I dont feel like myself, i dont think i am true to myself and dont know how to change it. It just feels like im not in control.
I actually want to discuss more in regards to Bedman's theme and its underlying symbolism. There's an intrinsic misunderstanding given in this video that 'The Circle' refers to the circles of Hell. While I agree that it could, and I certainly agree on the prospect of the circle of life, I believe what may have been more intended by the symbolism of the theme is actually the cycle (circle) of Samsara. A Buddhist concept of infinite reincarnation until one achieves the state of the Buddha, Dharma. It is referenced constantly in Guilty Gear (Potemkin being implied to be the Bodhisattva in his theme, Baiken's including the Heart Sutra in Japanese, as well as multiple references of Karma). I believe in this song, there is an emptiness, a "non-existence" achieved by Bedman, but not because he is simply dead, but because he has achieved enlightenment. The Heart Sutra is considered to be a core doctrine of Buddhism and is, as such, referencing the state of enlightenment: "Form is void, void is form." It refers to an emptiness. And yet, Buddhism also refers to infinite compassion. To become emptiness is to become compassion, on some levels, and therefore, Bedman's wish to spend his dying days with his sister, hanging on to his final threads of life, and giving his immortal soul to that purpose could be considered the most compassionate of all acts. I think your reading is also excellent, and it's not to discredit it, but I think it should also go hand in hand with the Buddhist philosophies surrounding Guilty Gear's narrative, and should be discussed more!
But you see, Rad Chad the Mad Lad and to some of us Our Dad, while CloudDrop's lyric videos are indeed very high quality, most of them weren't updated after some official song lyrics came out, thus causing many misconceptions regarding lyrics especially in songs dense with Naoki Engrish such as The Kiss of Death and especially Mirror of the World. Meanwhile, the GOAT CapnBooker not only reuploads their lyric videos as many times as needed to match official lyrics or at least be as accurate as possible, even contacting Naoki at times for clarification, they also made lyric videos for many songs CloudDrop has yet to cover.

I'll grant you Bojack Horseman, but get The Circle right before you include it into your denial of the afterlife. Also, Al Pacino didn't "confirm" anything. His experience was his experience, that's it. Most likely, he was just resuscitated before everything else could show up.

you bastard, you just had to give me another hit of existential dread, for about 7 years I have had that horrid realization that plagues my every waking moment, it causes me to have fucking panic attacks, its the worst...
I do appreciate the one line of hope, sometimes life's a bitch and it keeps on going
As someone who wasted an entire year of his life on this here's a sort of basic affirmation that helped me:
"Yes, oblivion is waiting at the end of the road. But right now you're alive, and being alive is amazing, it's potential. So how dare you squander your limited time on earth on existential dread when you could be doing anything else instead." (Exact wording may worry by person, I need to be harsh with myself)
And then you take it one day at a time, develop mental resilience and surround yourself with those people that give you purpose and joy.
Genuinely wishing you all the best with your recovery.
@@jonathanmarth6426 thank you, genuinely
Are you sure i exist? try taking your meds and then see what happens
This makes me think of Octopath traveler 2, and having said that: Major spoiler warning for Octopath Traveler 2.
What this makes me think of is the plan of a character named Oboro. Growing up he's seen the evils of humanity and the hatred it holds, and as such he comes up with a plan to plunge the entire world into darkness. His reasoning is that if the world is plunged into darkness, no one will able to hurt anyone ever again.
I bring this all up because I don't fully understand what his plan is. The external darkness shown in game is an eternal night where the dawn will never come to pass, and that wouldn't prevent the people from, hurting each other. But; having said that, this eternal night only occurs after the seals on Vidania are released and before Vide is fully revived, which implies that the eternal darkness Oboro is searching for could be something else.
All these facts and the topic of this video makes me wonder if the eternal darkness that video brings is truly nothingness. Technically speaking Vide's power is that over shadow, and shadows are caused by the absence of light. Darkness is of course also the absence of light, so it could be that Vide's goal is the erasure of existence itself since an eternal night is caused by a fraction of Vide's full power.
This would also allow for Oboro's plan to make more sense. The darkness he was searching for could be the absence of existence, and if nothing were to exist then humanity would no longer be able to commit acts of evil.
Helping with this theory, Vide's name translates to "Void" in French. I don't think I need to explain that there. It does also translate to "See" in Latin, but that doesn't have anything to do with what I'm talking about right now, atleast not at an immediate glance.
Considering how in depth everything I've talked about so far is, Vide being "See" in Latin 100% means something though, I'm just not really sure what.
Also, don't even get me started on "Those who deny the dawn", the game's final boss theme, there is so much in depth meaning in there and this comment would be twice as long if I were to rant about that.
One thing I am surprised wasn't in this videos reading of non-existence is that not all people fear it, and some even find comfort in non-existence. While it may be a hefty topic it's something that's such a big part of the story of both bojack and circle bedboy. It's an enticing calm to the worst of this world, and some see it as a solution to the problem. So even at the high point where you fear it or the low point where you hope for it, you always have to remind yourself that your life exists in others. What you are and what you were will always be how you treated those around you.
That is just my reading of the song and show anyway, big dad better address this big issue/s
Longing for it on the low end was relatable for me when I was younger
Sometimes when i am about to fall asleep i think of the fact that after death... There's nothing, and i just can't shake it of, i can't find a way to comfort myself, to distract me from the feeling of dread it fills me with. So i just stop thinking, tell myself to stop, that there's no point in thinking about it... After all, there's nothing we can do about it, and i just can't cope with it.
It is the same fate of everithing that lives so altho you or anyone can deal whit death it is still something that everybody does and your loved ones too, all of us whatever fate is after life even complete void, it commune us so even complete void it is not actualy lonliness
I used to be like that too.
Here's two things that might make it better:
First off, we don't know for sure what happens to consciousness after death, or even what consciousness IS. There have been some interesting experiments involving Near-Death Expereinces, but nothing concrete.
Secondly, after death your atoms and energy will remain part of the universe, just like they were before you were born. The fact that you exist right now proves that you CAN exist. Death won't prevent you from existing again.
Basically, Reincarnation is actually surprisingly compatable with a purely Materialist universe.
@@somebodyrandom27 If I get isekai'd my dude, I am genuinley going to CRASH OUT!
@@somebodyrandom27 i also hold this belief, if the universe is finite and if time is infinite, then what makes you can happen again. time perception is cool too, if you dont even experience the time, it'll go by in an instant.
Thank you
I don't feel like elaborating much right now, but thank you, i owe you my life and my peace
Bojack Horseman is obviously accurate, but the way The Circle 7:35 is set up here seems to be false. It could slot in with atheist, Christian, or agnostic perspective, and the latter two make far more sense to me within the context of the song; the game actually disproves the perspective that Bedman just woke up Delilah and gave the Bed orders. The way the lines are set up, it could either be Bedman not comprehending existence, or realising that his consciousness will remain for all eternity(Time being the thing that gives life meaning). The Circle could be the circle of life or circles of hell, but it could also mean Samsara, or most likely just the afterlife itself. That last one makes the most sense if he is ‘on the border of the circle’ until he ‘struggled to go outside the circle’ in the last chorus, that same line absolutely proving that Bedman left the Circle that is the afterlife, putting his consciousness into the Bed in his last moments. Hell, the game even alludes to his consciousness being in the bed multiple times, with it having organic teeth and Delilah’s description says it’s where she ‘senses her brother’, the Bed having its own description also kinda proves this, as well as all the other stuff in the DLC story. It also goes infinitely harder if you envision the bridge as him rejecting god, rejecting the afterlife, just so he ‘can give someone something’ in the form of being there as the bed for Delilah. Again, this isn’t his theme while dying, it’s his theme when he’s dead. ‘World I left and can’t reach’ sounds a ton more like a dead man than a dying one. In conclusion nuh uh, also what the fuck did I just type why is the Guilty Gear lore like this
I just wanna point out that the bed's teeth were actually in Xrd and have nothing to do with Bedman potentionally being in the bedframe.
@@svgaming263 ah. Still the rest of the stuff lines up with it.
I see rad chad bedman, i click. Simple as.

This reminds me of something I learned in philosophy. The desire to not exist. Not the desire to die, but the desire to not exist. Often described as the want of going to sleep and not waking up again. It’s a contradictory idea, these people who desire to not exist, do not desire to die, but instead, to experience, non-experience. To float in an endless sea of nothingness, yet to be aware of yourself and your surroundings.
I lowkey was having fears about this recently. The concept of things not going black, but just going makes my heart beat irregularly. The way i cant comprehend anything before my earliest memory will be my end. Thats such a harrowing concept, and it honestly makes me wonder why life is the way it is. Us as humans try to grasp on to existance so hard that we will create any idea that there is a life after death. We want so hard to be, that we cannot accept the idea of not being.
Damn that ending got me feeling
Life is like a song.
Just because the song has an end doesn't mean you won't hear it.
Life is like a song
Most of them suck except guilty gear
bold of you to assume that i fear nonexistence, not crave it.
Thank God I already figured out non-existence. But non-existance? It scares me, Dad.
I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t play any of Yuri Lowenthal’s legendary yap sessions
I live life with the comfort of inevitable oblivion that comes with death.
The thought that I may be conscious for eternity is more horrifying than anything else.
To enjoy the ability to think is one you shouldn't take for granted, for without that, you are not you, even living through the world of your imagination is better than not living at all..
Damn this video is my life
Constant pain and anxiety
welcome to life in general
NO, that is NOT what the video or life is about!
The video talks about the concept of nothingness. How would "nothing" look like? How we cannot imagine it. Struggles, victories, pain, anything you see - it's still SOMETHING. Dying is a terrifying concept, if you assume you turn into nothing, which is why we ae urged to LIVE.
The other topic of the video is about how life has its ups and downs (Dundundun duun duuun). How it can't end in a happy or a sad end, because it simply continues. If it were to END, there would be nothing. Because of that, we have to live in present and face it. Appreciate the moments of calm and manage through the bad!
I'll be honest, this hits so hard after losing someone
My brother in law passed away less than a month ago, it hit everyone in the family and every since I have been with "death" as a topic on my mind, more than I had before.
It's soul crushing to see that the world moves on while your life has stopped, but also reassuring, somehow. Idk
Intern: sorry, Ishiwatari sir, the gravity made the hourglass fall over, so the top part, like, yknow, the circle? It fell off, and now I’ve lost the town inside. Please excuse me
Daisuke: wait…say all that one more time?
the odd question is now, is non-existence forever? Or does it itself not even exist?
Non-existence………………a harrowing topic to cover……..
its like a blink sleep where you blink and sleep until you wake up again, not known when or how, you just will one day. and it will feel like a quick minute
I don't have a fear of non-existance, for me I had the opposite, I just wanted to stop existing.
I didn't like the idea of self harming(or further) but I couldn't stand the daily torture of barely living.
I'm doing better now, I have a direction I want to go now, and I don't have as bad a mental health as I did when I was still in school.
Now to be truthful my mentality and how I act has been forever scarred by school, (negatively) and I'm still disfunctional in my social side.
I have to monitor myself super strictly, it's the only way for me to get anything done without breaking down.
I guess I could be described as a stoic 20 year old introvert that doesn't react to things like a normal 20 year old, because some social cues I just don't get.
I almost have to forge an act to try and react normally, but I still struggle to figure out what is "normal." And no, I'm not a sociopath, I'm not lacking emotion or morale.
2:28 How did he know I was watching this on a cold morning in Canada?!
rad's dumbahh put disaster of passion in the description twice
how dare you check sources (i'll fix it asap)
I heard once that being dead is like before you are even born, and it does make sense cuz i wasn't sad i wasn't born, nor i wanted anything, thats what it will be after i die in the worst case. Its kinda calming in a way
Ngl I find the fact that it's just power off after you kick the bucket comforting. Non existence is usually thought about as if you could perceive not existing. Nah mate if you didn't exist you would be there to give to shits. You wouldn't be bothered cause there is no you to be bothered.
You're not realizing the issue, its the other way around, the worry isn't after, its before, everyone is stressed that one day we won't even have the mental capacity to stress, we won't have anything, at all, ever again..
@@KWCHope I know the worry is in the before cause there is literally no ability to worry after. The reason why I don't worry now is thta I know that independently of what happens I will no longer exist to think it's either good or bad. If I will not give a fuck when it happens why would I give a fuck before it happens. You literally do not exist to perceive anything as good or bad thus it can be neither good or bad. You just will not even be able to give a fuck cause you will no longer exist. I personally find peace with that.
@@KWCHope Yeah and projecting on it a moral feeling of bad even tho you will literally be unable to give to fucks. The reason why I say I don't worry about death in the before is because I know that when I am dead I won't be able to feel any one way about it. It can't be bad cause it can't be at all. Worrying about how it will feel to be unable to feel is a contradiction you won't be able to feel to give a damn either way
Thanks man for talking about this this has been a problem for me ever since ive gained sencience and the adhd did not help with anxiety of this
I’m a simple man, I see Bedman, I click
8:59 you cant just make me cry like that
in alaska, 90% of afternoons are cold
Honestly bedman is one of my favourite characters in guilty gear
2:42, uhh it doesn't feel like any of those to me, I'm a rebel >:)
But I'm also australian so who knows if its hot today at 8:02pm to a non australian
Wait i could say anything before anyone else
I have an idea
You know this video had some pretty impeccable timing in my life. Thanks Rad Chad, stay cool
Imagine being scared of a jalapeno bacon cheeseburger, and a cookies and cream milkshake lmao, that's y'all who scared of not existing
My existence was confiscated when I eated Happy Chaos’ 6P and didn’t give it back…
I hear Funger OST, my dad might be a Funger enjoyer
you ever get that feeling of existential dread when lying in bed in the middle of the night and you’re like “oh fuck, eventually I’ll die”? Yeah the Bojack horseman part of the video gave me that exact feeling while in the middle of the day surrounded by other people, good job 🥲
0:12 If this video hit zero views...
The way I see it, the fact that I exist right now proves that I'm something that CAN exist. Death won't change that.
Maybe one day the atoms and energy that somehow add up to my consciousness will come back together, and I will live again as something else. It's already happend at least once.
Basically, reincarnation is surprisingly compatible with a purely Materialistic universe.
Of course, we haven't completely ruled out the existence of something akin to a soul, since we still don't really know what consciousness actually is.
There have been some interesting experiments involving Near-Death Experiences, but nothing concrete.
Non-existence doesn't scare me all that much because, like, I don't exist. I don't comprehend, I do not feel anything, I have no capacity to feel. I don't care if I don't exist because if I don't exist I don't have the capacity to care.
That abrupt ending scared the fuck out of me
Good stuff, Rad Chad. Hope you can get your monetization back soon
man, i hope that in these times of difficulty, you can still stand, pls don't give p, you make such a good content that i'd really love to help you, but sadly i can't since i got no job yet, but still, i hope everything turns out well and have a nice day
You and death will never meet, for by the time you are dead, you wont be around to meet death, and death wont be able to meet you, because you will already be gone
Almost died once, when I awoke it felt like I got off a can of duster.
Remember to properly breath during your workouts
Great, now I'm panicking
Ah, my number 1 fear, the existential fear of non-existence
0:01- GOD I WISH
not to sound like a threat to myself, but I don't understand why non-existance is so scary. i mean, so what if I never got to smooch that special they/them or whatever: I'm not around to regret it anymore
dang, right when i was over my existencial crisis, back to depression i guess.
Of course i am joking but this genuenly had me awaken for the past months, it was terrible, and i didn't even noticed i was in a loop before it stopped, now i acknoledge i am back in my normal loop but as i lived such enxtended period in another loop is it really normal anymore? I dont feel like myself, i dont think i am true to myself and dont know how to change it. It just feels like im not in control.
I actually want to discuss more in regards to Bedman's theme and its underlying symbolism.
There's an intrinsic misunderstanding given in this video that 'The Circle' refers to the circles of Hell. While I agree that it could, and I certainly agree on the prospect of the circle of life, I believe what may have been more intended by the symbolism of the theme is actually the cycle (circle) of Samsara.
A Buddhist concept of infinite reincarnation until one achieves the state of the Buddha, Dharma. It is referenced constantly in Guilty Gear (Potemkin being implied to be the Bodhisattva in his theme, Baiken's including the Heart Sutra in Japanese, as well as multiple references of Karma).
I believe in this song, there is an emptiness, a "non-existence" achieved by Bedman, but not because he is simply dead, but because he has achieved enlightenment. The Heart Sutra is considered to be a core doctrine of Buddhism and is, as such, referencing the state of enlightenment:
"Form is void, void is form."
It refers to an emptiness. And yet, Buddhism also refers to infinite compassion. To become emptiness is to become compassion, on some levels, and therefore, Bedman's wish to spend his dying days with his sister, hanging on to his final threads of life, and giving his immortal soul to that purpose could be considered the most compassionate of all acts.
I think your reading is also excellent, and it's not to discredit it, but I think it should also go hand in hand with the Buddhist philosophies surrounding Guilty Gear's narrative, and should be discussed more!
Where do you get this information that I exist? Hah!? You Got Nothing on Me!?! Nothing!
Im not scared of hell, im scared of nothing
RAISE THE VACUUM J.S FLAG!
That's a mad lad
Sometimes fear can be replaced by desire.
But you see, Rad Chad the Mad Lad and to some of us Our Dad, while CloudDrop's lyric videos are indeed very high quality, most of them weren't updated after some official song lyrics came out, thus causing many misconceptions regarding lyrics especially in songs dense with Naoki Engrish such as The Kiss of Death and especially Mirror of the World.
Meanwhile, the GOAT CapnBooker not only reuploads their lyric videos as many times as needed to match official lyrics or at least be as accurate as possible, even contacting Naoki at times for clarification, they also made lyric videos for many songs CloudDrop has yet to cover.
So, whomeverethst might be reading this comment; when you go check out CloudDrop, don't forget to check out CapnBooker as well.
RAD CHAD PEAK FICTION VIDEO!? YOU REALLY ARE MY DAD
I embrace the sweet nothingness in oblivion.
I'm watching on a cold morning its over im not a rebel
NDEs are interesting find indeed
Personally I'm more comforted by Non-Existance, than scared of it.
neko arc must pay for its crimes
My solace is that we can go to the backyard.
LETSGO BEDMAN
Edit: oh damn, bedman...
I do not before I lived, I don’t understand why I would fear after.
Going through ego death twice got rid of the fear for me. Im not afraid to go back.
I'll grant you Bojack Horseman, but get The Circle right before you include it into your denial of the afterlife.
Also, Al Pacino didn't "confirm" anything. His experience was his experience, that's it. Most likely, he was just resuscitated before everything else could show up.
unintentionally watching this on a cold morning
I dont exist Rad Chad. The accident was twelve years ago, you have to let go.
