    You're putting into words that strange feeling I had when I was a kid and asked a teacher WHY I was only me and how I could know that my experience of something was the same as someone else. And he just said that it was a really weird and stupid question. I felt dumb and made myself forget about those questions for years until I started philosophy in high school.
    You're making me remember all that and I strangely like it.

      That is true, it occurred to me recently that it's possible that I'm every human at once, but I don't "remember" being any other person, because my brain is physical even if my consciousness isn't and my brain is the thing storing memories, if that makes sense.

    Bolero was such a good choice of music for this. It's such an exploration of (tone) color, plus I personally see Bolero as a very "orange-y" kind of piece to begin with. Also, the steady build to a raucous conclusion fits perfectly with the way you typically build to the (nearly) shouty bits. And you did so well to build your commentary right along with the music. I can't even begin to imagine how long it took to get your pacing to sync up just right with it, but it was definitely worth it.

      When I was a sprout a teacher explained that white was an effect of all light being present and black being the absence of light. (I.e. all wavelengths being either reflected or absorbed by the object in question, then interpreted by chemicals in our brains) When I understood it occurred to me that the only substance that could be defined as light either present or absent was light itself. Like my peers discovering santa does not exist this idea that black and white simply do not exist outside of this inexact individual interpretation of a substance that itself is invisible without something to bounce off of in the first place... changed me forever. I was in 3rd grade art class the day I was born, and it was a very long time indeed before I learned I had not been born into the world alone. It would have been a comfort if anyone else had been distressed by this with me, so i could indulge a panic attack that had to instead be obediently stamped out without anyone noticing. They all seemed mad to me quietly pretending to listen because it did not matter to them that everything they saw was a sloppy faximile of what might really be in front of them. I had monsters under my bed and now there was no way to know for sure that I hadn't seen them.

    Englishman gets increasingly loud as he transitions from scientific questioning to existencial dread.
    After screaming, the Englishman calms down and tries to lead the tangent back to where he started somehow having learned something along the way.

      What is consciousness always seems to bring me back to “Is there a God, a creator of the universe, something before nothing, etc. There’s so many similarities between religions separated by time and space . I believe there is, but there seems to be no way to prove it. To me it seems the best way if done the right way to help people have better lives and treat others well. Even if it’s not real, isn’t there some moral value in the core beliefs?

    You should read the book, Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid, by Douglas Hofstadter, if you haven’t already, it talks a lot about new phenomena rising from sufficiently complex systems and self reference being key to consciousness. Like how dna has the information to make itself, one form of self reference, and how self reference is the basis of contradiction in formal systems, like Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, or for example the sentence “this sentence is false” is neither true or false, and that contradiction comes from the self reference of the statement “this sentence”.

    am a 23 year old man from South Sudan, I have spent most of my life in a continuous war, it was a normal day 2 weeks ago as I was fighting. Then, the Sudanese fighters played this absolute masterpiece, we then began to all put down our guns and dance to this lyrical masterpiece. Thank you, sir. For Peace this song changed my life. My entire view of everything that exists in this world, in fact, even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way again. This song represents emotions that most humans could never understand. But I can. Thanks to this song I was awakened to many things previously considered unimaginable. Thank you for this exquisite song.This video is an exquisite masterpiece, out of every single video I have ever even heard of on the entire platform, this by far has enlightened me to do fly, lose 90 pounds and even become the president of the United States, and I'm going to tell you why this is such a masterpiece as if hearing the creators, no, god of this universes luscious voice. I would like to express my thanks to you. My gratitude for your indisputably magnificent assistance is almost infinite. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. I really like your contribution that you have in our society, you really make a difference and help others out, the world could always use more people like you. Gosh, what a polite and humble fellow. It is such a kind honour for someone as low as me to be in contact with someone of a level such as yours. I thank you once again my good friend. A world without you, would be a world I would not be able to live in, and I believe I share that opinion with most people. I can rest easy tonight knowing you helped. I appreciate you and everything you stand for and on behalf of everyone on planet earth, thanks. Yes I 100% agree no lie I am 10/10 with you in this statement no question. You are completely absolutely correct and have made no mistake in your sentence whatsoever and I applaud you for that as you have made a thoughtful statement that many agree with and those that disagree are in the minority because your statement has absolutely no faults and thus is completely without a question correct and deserves nothing but agreement. and by the way, super saiyan blue theme is a very powerful, moving song that showcased the capabilities of human emotion. It used groundbreaking technology to create stunning sounds that would mesmerize the listeners. This song is suitable for all ages; whether you're 5 years old, or 50, you should listen to this song. It is inspiring and it showcases the spectrum of human nature and how humans communicate with each other. This song revolutionized the music industry and set the bar high for other songs. In the future historians will look back on this song and regard it as the pinnacle of human achievement. It was a roller-coaster from start to finish, the nail-biting song will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Listeners will find themselves absorbed by the heartwarming tale of a relentless, determined african tribes who didn't let societies standards shape his/her/it's life. I was shocked by how intense and gripping this song was. The plot is rich, unpredictable and touching. This isn't your typical african war song, this song is a war with one's emotions. Tales of africa is a stirring masterpiece that only comes once in a millennium. This thrilling instruments makes it a jaw-dropping performance that properly utilizes the medium. I rate this song 10 african tribes/10 african tribes, and will never listen to it again as every time I get saddened by the the fact that there will never be a song to match this masterpiece.

      I think it actually depends on your mindset.
      An optimist and a pessimist will look at it differently. For some I guess they'll feel like we were just put here to suffer and consciousness is a curse, for some is the opposite and a blessing. The mystery could lead to other answers, but some won't necassarily be good, and some might feep the fact that we don't even get to understand our consciouseness is a curse.
      I personally find all the video's on this channel inspiring and often watch them when I feel unmotivated.
      But some like this are a definate emotional grey area to me as the perception topics seem inherently tied to our already existing perception of life and ourselves as individuals and as a collective.
      Oh, also some people kind of just freak out with meaning of life topics almost like a phobia.
      Also, also, one day there will be no mysteries left is a pretty sad thought that was mentioned.

    • @Celia_Louise
      @Celia_Louise 4 роки тому +6

      TLDR: I have friends who have an easier time seeing small negatives then the far larger positives.
      I guess thinking too much about such a complex topic with their mindset will make it seem depressng and other people may be similar.

      Eh if you haven’t heard of such existentialism before maybe, but after awhile it gets stale, it’s beyond me how people can ride this same wonder till their death, using it justify the continuation of the same processes that perpetuate suffering endlessly here... I guess they never thought about it beyond the wanky cycle.

      @@arya3877 It's mostly just accusation, this is not enough evidence. "He raped me!" OK, there isn't proof for that, but it's difficult to prove. "He blackmailed me!" There should actual be proof for that. There's a text discussion back and forth, that can easily be photoshopped. And rape jokes that he has been between his friends. That ain't an exclusive thing to rapists. Of course I could be wrong, she might just be grabbing straws to drag him down. But if she's lying, she is one of the many people that makes me question if they're just a mega bitch. There ain't enough proof, sorry.

    I love The absolute absurdity of coincidence in every life. I have synesthesia and orange is my trigger color so to me I've never thought of it as a color but more of a tangible physical thing. Hence why I originally clicked on this video and how I came to find your channel.
