"I don't know what it means to be influential in a world that lacks clear direction" - this line hit me.
that line hits sooo deep jesus.
To be influential in a world that lacks direction is to show one
@@lordkrabstheeighth4247 I like what you said better then the actual quote
It means, to be influential in such a world, one must provide direction for those without it.
Problem and solution
@@lordkrabstheeighth4247 didn't see you response 12 minutes before mine. Good.
"IF EVERYTHING WENT NORMALLY TODAY THEN YOU WON'T REMEMBER THIS DAY AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE EVER"

At least i can leave my mark here in case future me comes back to this comment otherwise goodbye 12:32AM March 19th 2020 Me
My grandparents are almost forgotten. They were dead before I was born, my mum rarely talks about them, and she's the only one who does. We never visit their graves. So it can happen quick.
But their dna lives on in you.

I once asked my grandmother what advice would she give me, and all she said was that I need to slow down. I need to enjoy the little things in life.
Great advice
We die three deaths
1: The heart stops and the brain dies
2: Our name is said for the last time
3: The last person with memory of you dies

You really can't lose with that kind of mentality
But our true Creator will remember us

Not being remembered is a beautiful gift, is liberating to know that our place in history serves no purpose outside of what we make of it
Yet, your parents, borther or sisters and possibly even pets can remember you at any minute or at any second
That what a lot to take in and its really sad i think
“Being remembered isn’t all that important if people are not remembered for what is important”... wow that line hits hard
Don't want to be remembered, so it doesn't apply to me.
Then... What’s important? Surely that’s subjective to the individual answering the question. So to the eye of the beholder, everything could be important, so remembered for anything is important.
Or the truth could be, as with nihilism, nothing is important because nothing really matters as it’s all for nothing with an unavoidable path into the future. So maybe no one is important, being remembered isn’t important. But that comes back to the the individual answering the question.
i was thinking few days ago that my great grandfather had a great grandfather too that i dont know who and one day ill be in his place
That is if you plant the seed
@RemX how do you know?
Teach your kids and grandkids about your great grandfather and instill the value of remembering and cataloging family. Even if its just a photo and a name.
stupidbaby I’m a bit older into the 60s years. Had been moving about for job callings and such. Ended up with significant neuro disorders and decided to come back home. Home base, I’m fortunate that I can dig through archives and ancestry sites to gather the info i weak ofwhat happened to aunts GreatAunts/uncles, cousins, Great grandparents and great great grandparents from all over the world. Most of my tribe is buried in local cemeteries and a bit further In other states. Patriarch lIneage was forced to serve in the continental war, they were unloading thieves, stealers ,horse thieves, Welch jails were oveRcrowded so off they went on the foulest vessels with other foul persons. One was a commander. In the RevolutionRy war. Clifford C Davis. No not know what ever happened to him but like my other kin, would love to locate him. I spent time, looking though records at libraries, city halls, The folks I can find though the scads of pictures we have are invaluable. I have started going for visits to the graves of my immediate pack and it’s been a wonderful experience. I will find my Charles C Davis burial site. I’m thinking Virginia. He served in the battle of Yorktown and worked to establish the second settlement after Jamestown.
But our tribe is still here, welcoming next generations and I’m focusing on visiting the ones ho are at risk of being forgotten. It’s fascinating. Sometimes you learn more by starting at the end of life and move forward. It’s a blessing that I can thread these families together by establishing they’re last “address” All the best to you🙏🌱💘

@@praisethelordgriffith8338 You forgot Jesus. Made famous by the Roman Empire.
@@josephbishara4791 But I doubt that that Christian Jesus is the real Jesus though. The real Christianity died in the 1st century from persecution and the bible are just cherry-picked gospels from a lot of gospels by the Nicaean Council, with some in the New Testament written by medieval priest-rulers.
I plan on being forgotten quickly
Why do people feel like they need to be remembered? We are all forgotten eventually that's just life. Enjoy life while you're alive.
Depressing but true.

I would like to be remembered because it speaks to the value of what I did when I was alive
What a wonderful way to spend my Monday, having yet another existential crisis because of this channel.
Its not a "crisis". Its....awakening.
This has always upset me. Not because I want to be remembered, but because I want to know the lives that have been forgotten. Some really great, loving, friendly, amazing people have been long gone. People who were once so loved by others. It really bothers me, it feels unjust almost.
I understand. Makes me upset to read obituaries of people that sounded amazing. Loved by everyone and now they’re just gone. But that’s life. Nothing is forever.
Interesting thought.... I like it!
all of the joy and tragic memories of the world, briefly slipped through our minds, once we think about what we're going to eat next.
Lolol nice

Eating is overrated, look into intermittent fasting or temporary starvation (;
Life is kinda like high school. Even the most popular kid will eventually graduate and move on as will his former classmates. A few decades later, all his former teachers, principals, and staff that remember him will be retired and replaced by new staff that never met him. So he's completely forgotten at the school and all that remains are old records of him that have to be looked up. I graduated high school in 1987 and I'm sure that most if not all the teachers I had are long since retired or dead. So if i went into the school today, nobody would know me.
True but the building will remember that you walked its halls, smoked in the bathrooms and occasionally ditched out the cafeteria door.
Good analogy sir.
@JTI haven't been inside my high school building since I graduated so I have no idea who's still there or who isn't. But considering that it's been 33 years and the teachers I had were in their 40s through 60s then, I'm guessing they aren't there anymore. But even if they were, they probably wouldn't remember me since I wasn't popular and was kind of an introvert.
Teachers often bring their small kinds to school and they often become teachers themselves so they'll remember you when you come back.
However if you are the first graduating class at the particular school, they will surely remember me and my classmates for as long as the school existed?

Everything in the past is a memory, everything in the future is imagination. All you ever have is this moment in time.
I find this weirdly liberating lol 😂 all my failures and embarrassing moments will be forgotten so I have nothing to fear in terms of not pursuing my dreams. I might as well go for it, there’s nothing to fear at all
yea, what a great way to view this.
Interesting!
I've rarely ever read anything I needed to hear as much as this comment. It literally changes everything for me. So well worded and so very true. Thank you for taking time to post this.
i might forever remember this comment just coz I will be needing this kind of encouragement to feel better
I suffer from anxiety and phobia around many people- which made me barely leave my house)...I think your comment makes me realize something 🤔
Who cares about being remembered just enjoy life and be good to those around you.
Beautifully put and said!
Life has to have meaning otherwise we would never have thought about it.
I think meaning of life is to be lived.
If the threat of punishment is all that keeps someone from being shitty, they're just shitty. 🙂
Donald Mainville as if you’re any better than those people? Lol you have the same selfish psychology as everyone else. Don’t think you’re so special.
Knowing that you’ll never see many people from a different place again, it’s kinda indescribable. You don’t know the people, but you know you might not see them ever again
I lost my mum 3 weeks ago and i love her so much. We all do and one of the most painful thing for me is knowing that my future children will not know her and how great she was and even if i tell them stories about her passionately, they might not understand what she meant to me and how special she is to me. I want my mother to be remembered , atleast by my kids and grandkids. Sadly that might not happen. And it breaks my heart
At the end of the day will all become stories📖
whenever I get into an embarrassing moment, this philosophy pops in my mind. really. it works.
I do the same
There no room for shame n our lives, at best acknowledgment of what brought the embarrassment and move on. Drag that stuff around you too many years and I guarantee there will be no parade of people recognizing it for what you originally intended it to be. Float
until that embarrassing moment was caught in tape and immortalized by the internet. ....
Yeah but that embarrassed moment can still effect your life afterwards like people laughing at you and shit. In that case what helps me is realizing that we're all one and all in this together and therefore I am you and you are me and when someone laughs at me I just think it's really funny because that's me laughing at me so I just end up laughing with them😅
Or you do something really embarrassing that they make a statue of the moment.
I would rather prefer to be understood and loved by someone in my lifetime, than to be remembered by the world after the world cease to exist for me.
And I believe we all would.
Nietzsche disliked your comment.
agreeded
I love you
You would rather that while you're alive, but there'll be no you to rather that when you're dead.
Neha Motwani to a family person that’s good n all but to those who...aren’t might take the high road to be remembered
I don’t know why, but that last scene hit me. It not only shows that anyone and everyone can be forgotten, no matter how famous or infamous they were in their lives but also the thought of the entire culmination of someone’s life, especially one who seems so influential in the present day, becoming a simple afterthought gave me chills. That’s the reality of it all I guess, everyone has hundreds of millions of experiences through decades of living but is eventually reduced to nothing. You can’t dwell over every person’s life though, despite their experiences seeming so crucial and significant. Life is short and we all die eventually; some earlier than others, and in millions/billions of years, the entire human race. That doesn’t mean life has no meaning though, life has a meaning if you give it one. It’s only natural to want to be remembered, but being remembered shouldn’t be one’s number one priority. I believe experiencing what it is to be a human should be. The current human life expectancy is 72.4 years. That’s 72.4 years to do what you love, invest time and energy into things that you express passion for, and make connections with others that are unbreakable.
Don't worry, the Immortals will remember you. Even today, I can still remember the little boy from 3,000 BC who asked me about the Sky Gods.
Only in this second do we exist, everything else is a memory.
The other day i was thinking all my life happen in a blink of an eye and now i am conscious about the present. What if we are not completely conscious and there can be higher conscious out there kind of like a hive mind?
You nailed it !
hahaha ;)
Either a memory or a desire
memories are based on real moments
Now I can sleep in peace knowing that nothing really matters afterall.
RISHABH KUMAR everything matters on a subjective level. If your life totally sucks, do you think it mattters? Of course you do because you are suffering and you want a way out of suffering. You will feel things matter. Suffering will make sure it does. And reality is like this for every single living being.
Objectively nothing matters, subjectively everything matters. And subject is the thing we only really know is real.
Joey suffering is inevitable for every single being on this earth. Things only matter if you make them matter, you’re generalising when no 2 people are the same. Moreover, the human spirit isn’t made up of binary, thus one’s inner beliefs aren’t painted in black and white- especially when considering that they themselves likely do not know what is is they believe and what matters to them.
Boards chal rahe hain kya bhai?
Why tryhard when you'll simply die? Why working your whole life is so meaningless? Why living in freedom and happiness knowing it wont last forever?
What matters is your personal subjective existence. Do you cry after a great movie ends and conclude that nothing matters anymore because it's time has run it's course? No, of course not, that would be absurd. Your life is a movie in which you're the main character, do whatever the fuck fulfills you. The possibilities are endless once you realize that.
one day, nobody will remember that you read this. nobody will remember you. you wont remember me. we are nothing. yet.. nothing is not nothing. its just nothing. this is the first and last time i will have ever have met you. it was an honor to get to experience you for a short forgotten memory in all measure of nothing.

Even nations, empires and civilisations come to an end. That is why I see patriotism as an investment in what is only temporary. Like cloud formation is the coming and going of nations and empires. I see evidence of a civilisational transition towards a new dark age in process as I speak.
wow.., so I'm not the only one who sees that....., Orwell's vision is most certainly at hand....,
🇺🇸☝️
Patriotism, Definitely has its benefits lol 😆. If you agree with the certain practices and values of your particular country lol
Well said. Sad but seems so true, the transitory quality of all life. Well, at least the new dark age will also be like that cloud formation, coming and going. And then we start over? I'm getting dizzy!
When I was young my father said a few things to me that's stuck and it helped me through life.
What are you mad about, you're not going to remember it in a couple of years...

When I see very old film footage on YT, like from the 1910's, I am always amazed and saddened at the notion that every person in the clip is dead and likely forgotten, as if they never existed in the first place. How strange life is.
I do the same. It’s like I project a sense of nostalgia into the minds of people that no longer exist. As in, if their spirit still exists, how much they must ache for that period when they were alive. Watching a video from the past is like time traveling and seeing them as they were when alive.
Put another way, if an alien civilization far from earth had a powerful enough telescope they’d be seeing dinosaurs roam the earth from millions of years ago...not unlike when we look at the stars at night and see our closest star-Alpha Centauri- and see it as it was 4.2 years ago. (In other words that star could disappear right now and we’d still see it the sky for 4.2 years, etc)
Anyway, it becomes mind-bending if one thinks too much about it.
Shit i do the same
@@alexblaze8878 Alpha Centauri is 4.367 light years from earth
@@thiagogregory1 yes you are correct. My premise still stands. You are hereby awarded 5 points for being technically correct on a detail that has no significant impact on the notion I was making.
It feels so relieving to view life from this perspective. No worries at all. No regrets at all, at the end we all are going to be dead.
To anybody reading this, don't think too much friend. Forget yourself for whatever you did because it doesn't matter if you had done anything else other than what you did. Everything is going to be forgotten.
Be present coz no body knows when you may disappear. Lif eis too small for regrets and guilt.
Nothing is FOREVER. Nothing is.
Sometimes i wanna be remembered like Leonardo Da Vinci...
and yet im just chillin on UA-cam in my room waiting for the next zoom class to start
Wanting to be remembered is ego's unwillingness to disappear.
When we are no more, we won't care if someone remembers or not.
There is no ego
My only issue with this is that saying, "we wont care" implies some form of emotion and being when, in fact, after you die there isnt even a you. It's not that you dont feel emotions, but that "you" simply no longer exist. Its kind of a paradox because you can imagine yourself not existing from another's point of view, but not from a 1st person point of view because imagining not existing requires that imagined self to exist, which once you die, it dosent.
@@adamh7484 He already means that though But From what i seen in the comment section people are Being overwhelmed by their fear of being forgotten and Not being aware of the fear
@wPanda Blissful nothingness
Has nothing to do with ego. Everyone has their own thoughts and if they want to do something or long to be remembered then let them and shut up about them and live your life. I feel people are so concerned with dragging people to their thought process that they will do anything to do it. Now that is ego my friend feeling that the way you think so superior that everyone has to follow it.

'Listen to the Sound of Your Extinction' is a really good creepy pasta that touches on this. Says there are 3 deaths. One where you actually die, the second when you're put into the ground and the third death is when your name is spoken for the last time and no one remembers who you were. It's a really great story if anyone is interested. Great video here as well!!!!

@@technicalsigma Who cares for truth? And what is truth besides probability?
I mean, it could be interpreted in a good or bad way…if someone believes that nothing lives forever it might become the motivation for them to commit a crime like theft or murder, since it won’t “amount to any significance” in the long run and will be forgotten anyway

Our desire to be remembered stems from our fear of being mortal. In some ways, we associate being remembered to having some sort of life after we are gone.
good point, and so is religion
It the same fear takes makes people believe in afterlife
Check out The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker
Yes. I think so too.
Afterlife is more complicated than just fear of death, I mean that does play a part in it, but if you go to ancient religions afterlife was just basically hades and hell, I don’t think anyone would want to believe in the afterlife if it’s just fear of death then, afterlife is more based upon lifestyle in this life and the morality of a soul, I don’t know about you but it sounds pretty stupid to be afraid of death and then invent a place of eternal torment, I would just resort to lack of existence than believe in an afterlife that’s just torment and chaos.
Therefore we must come to terms that afterlife is more than fear of death: it’s logical sense i.e do good live forever because no soul will harm your existence if that soul is good, that’s why I personally believe afterlife is based more upon righteousness than fear of death
I don’t know who you are Pursuit of Wonder, but I just want to take This Moment to express my eternal gratitude towards you; even if you never see this message.

I know you’re a stranger, and I am a stranger, but even though we’ve likely never met your virtual humanism and unknowing affinity has changed my life. I just want to tell you not to give up making these intellectual mind-bits because you are an amazing individual!
I have clinical major depressive disorder but yet every time I watch these videos I seem to gather a whole new perspective on life and am challenged differently through your thought provoking commentary. Thank you very much for doing what you do :)
For what it’s worth, I’ll always cherish and remember you for your sympathy and compassion; the good person you are.
The universe told itself “I love you”. We will all be forgiven. Everyone is forgotten. Nothing matters, but it matters to me. We are all existentially alone, but we are all alone together. Let us sing with the salt of the earth that we were beautifully made. This is an “I love you” as a kind of cosmic acknowledgment of someone else’s existence. I love you.

Its not from anywhere, I like to write poetry sometimes. This video and the ideas expressed resonate with me. It’s from my heart (:

I know school can make you feel trapped. You’re surrounded by hundreds of people who have certain expectations and the routines can feel monotonous, especially when you feel like no one there understands you.
Just know that there’s a big world out there and school is just one small moment during your life. Some people, their best days are their high school and college experiences (which is ok), but there is so much more after school and there’s a place in the universe for all of us that we get to navigate, or we at least have the choice to do so.
I know everyone around you acts like they have all their plans figured out and people pressure you to know what your future is suppose to be and have a plan and be “successful” but I just want to tell you that it is ok not to have everything sorted out. Some people don’t know what they want to do until they’re a grown ass adult, and even then they might still change their plans.
Intelligence is measured in so many other ways than what we learn in an institution, and we all learn in different ways because every person is beautifully unique and processes differently. The true lessons we learn are those we find from life and the people we end up intertwining with. I encourage you to divulge deeper into who you truly are as a person, and I challenge you to grow and change from that person.
Edit: also, failure is a necessary part of the journey. Anyone who tells you differently hasn’t learned from their failures.
@@christian_751 It is a truly beautiful poem, I appreciate it with all my heart, you have great talent, please keep up the good work.
In the end, the only measure of worth in life, that continues after we are gone, is if we obeyed and believed in God. He will resurrect us and give us eternal life. That's important.

When Paul McCartney posed with Kanye West, Kanye West fans didn't know who he was and suggested he was going to be popular after this photo. Paul McCartney was a founding member of the Beatles and had a major impact on the direction of music and influenced many, yet he's nearly forgotten. Most people can't name the person that cured Polio but can name social media icons. We all live in our own private world inside of our own minds.
You know thats kyanye and mccartney thing is not true right. It was just jokes that people were making. The world will always remember Michael Jackson by the way
Well said, remembered, we are our own world within ourselves, but it is the small acquaintances that although brief, could be remembered within our self forever.
@ML8593wy so why do we still remember christ 2k years later and why do most of us still listen Motzart over 300 years later. Perhaps Michael Jackson will be remembered as Christ in the future.

My Dad will always be remembered as kind and loving, always protecting. Best Dad I could have ever had. He built us a house with his bare hands, had a garden to grow us fresh vegetables, hunted and fished so we had fresh protein, worked at any job he could find. He could fix anything. He understood plumbing and electric, he served honorably in the army. He had a medal for sharp shooting which I now have. He taught me to shoot. My friends have referred to me as Annie Oakley. My dad passed away at the age of 92. I will always miss him.
You were indeed blessed.
Sarah Love great tribute to your dad. Mine was the most kinda loving, caring father anyone could have ever had.
He sounds....... like someone who could carry all the problems in the world
A true super dad.
Sounds like a solid man.
You are lucky
You die when your heart stops, then again the last time someone speaks your name
Bro..
Damn Bmo that’s deep
Nia...
B mo No people still speak the name of hitler and others unless you talking about no famous people then yea.

Me: AHH finally my dose of existential crisis
ahhh finally my dose of the same comment on every single one of this guys videos
Or perhaps he is just too nihilistic
That hit me so hard. Reminds me of Master Oogway, "Yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery. But today is a gift that's why it's called Present."

I remember saying that
I came back after 4 years of watching it on its debut. Just know that your work resonated with me. Thank you for your contribution to us.
It’s not just individual people that get forgotten, the entire human species has a finite life.
I won't remember this video 5 minutes from now.
I actually remember videos like these
Well done
Ha ha ha!

And that's ok.
Be remembered by people who will also die too? Seriously does anyone realize this is a temporary dimension?
what are you trying to say?
@@cappercorn6983 it means that people who will remember you will also die😂
What do you mean temporary dimension?
If that's the case then why not do what you want while you're here. Let people do stuff to be remembered if they want to and you just shutup about them and live your forgetful life.
It's all teleological.
Plow twist: Alexa and Ash in the year 3855 watching a laptop from the early 2000's is part of a simulation from the year 5323 that show how the life was in the year 3855.
This is why cemeteries are nothing more than an ego trip. It makes no sense to take up space on Earth as a dead person. Relatively soon after you are gone, there will be no one to remember you anyway.

@Jax Teller they're just as important as us.
That's Alan Watts, right?
@@MrPavu4ok Yes. I absolutely love his books
MrPavu4ok yes, and he should have given Watts his credit for such a great quote. One of my favorite philosophers ever.
relowlight I've read/listened to almost all of Watt's material, including his rare mistress phone sex recordings, as odd as that sounds.
" *what you imagine your life is for, is what your life is for* "
-beautifully said, and true.
You didn't exist for 30 billion years. You were born. You live for 90 years. You go back to not existing again. Don't worry about being remembered, just be kind to others and live your best life. 🙂

Even if the whole world remembers me every day how will that benefit me as a dead person?
People still remember ancient kings and queens of egypt and roman emperors who died thousands of years ago
@@shrek19yearsago78 For now, but one day our sun will go supernova and when it does. One day there will be no planet earth and no intelligent life out there that ever knew earth or humans once existed
ItIsFunnyDamnIt Unless the unlikely occasion that humans can find another suitable home outside of our solar system. That’s a slim chance though considering the speed of light barrier and the massive amount of technology and industry required for a feat of that magnitude.
You never truly die if you're remembered.
@@I_am_milan that's most lame argument ever. And it's so easy to say when you are alive.
This comment will be forgotten and not remembered by anyone.

We will be remembered in eternity if we believe "I will never leave you nor forget you."
"It doesn't matter if no one remembers you in the future, and it really shouldn't matter (in the longest time in the future). Family, friends, and people will remember you for your legacy and your contributions. After that, in the longest time in the future, no one will know who you are, and your name. It's probably for the better because memories about you will probably get distorted and will change as the years go by. I want to get remembered by doing things I love without the need and pressure to do so, I love to do what I love to do, in a good way, a right way for me."

I keep seeing comments about having existential crises from these videos but personally these videos have helped stop my panic attacks and fear of death
Ikcaprog You won’t even know that you’re ceasing to exist. It will feel like before you we’re born.
*Davy Jones would like to know your location*
@@yopp1234 How can something you can't feel scare you... When you die, you won't know it, just like the period before you were born, you simply didn't exist.
@@yopp1234 I find it scary, the thought that there will be nothing at all, because we don't know what nothing is. We may think of it as an endless black void but it's not even that. To me, it's incomprehensible. I would like to understand what it is before I die, but is there understanding nothingness?
Ikcaprog don’t worry energy can’t be created nor destroyed. Everything becomes into something else, physically we will decompose but spiritually, at least your conciousness will move on to the next stage in that cycle. I personally believe in reincarnation but that’s not what everyone chooses to believe in.
"Everything you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." -Gandhi
stupidest quote ever said
@@alextrebek8293 Small brain
Did he really say that though?
why????
Whatever you do in life will be insignificant. but it is very important that you do it because, You can't know; You can't ever really know the meaning of your life, and you don't need to. Just know that your life has a meaning. Every life has a meaning; whether it lasts one-hundred years or one-hundred seconds.
- I searched above quote and got this paragraph
I feel like it’s better not to be remembered, people and history tend to only remember and embrace the most tragic things.
I was told once, "Everything fades into silence".
We don’t remember the person for who they truly are, but remember them as a figment of fantasy for what we perceive them to be...
oh
So true. It's honestly mind boggling how, when you think about it, no one knows who you truly are in your totallity. Not even you. We're all biased in how we see others and ourselves.
To me, the point of life is to have a personal experience for your own self and no one else.
well i hope evil people won't take this literally
saaame
oooo
But why? Whats the point for atoms to create? Whats the purpose
To me, there are tiers.
Once you've done that for yourself, you'll be able to see why others add to the personal experience. Then, why even nonorganic material adds to the personal experience. By then, it's not personal. Its universal. Your personal experience is a mirage, or if anything, a minute experience in totality. It's a universal experience. The one known chance for the universe to understand the universe.
I often think of this. The only think you pass down is your DNA. An extremely small amount of people are remembered, the rest of us just disappear.
My first thought as 5year old child that I will be forgotten and someday I will forget my parents...
at one point, I was the youngest person alive on this earth
Maybe for a nanosecond.
andy low Quite true. Someone could be so very far away that they are “out of time” in relation to the observer. Pretty crazy how distance can be so great that it alters time.
Me Too
same
I prefer to think: “at one point, I was last person on the planet to have sex”
..but then it hit me, no one will ever be able to say that.
Take it from someone in their last quarter of life; love someone and experience them loving you just as much as you love them. It is magical, hard to find, harder to hold onto and totally worth the time you might need in couple's counseling. IF you are good for one another it will work out. Get real about loving another, it is magical.

Nobody would love me tho
What if I'm ugly and broke? Will I find somebody? Please don't come up with the personality b4llsh1t.
My father always said, in terms of finding someone to love me: "theres a sucker out there, somewhere". Believe it or not, he didn't mean it in a harsh way. He had a funny way of making sense of life. I do believe, there is a sucker out there, for me; just as much as I will be a sucker for them. Somewhere out there!
Fuck that, I'm a lone wolf in life, don't want to deal with other people's problems and insecurities, ilness and woes. I got enough of them myself
I doubt that many of the great composers will ever be forgotten, they left a great gift for all to enjoy.
So you think mankind will live for ever? And when was the last time you heard music from the roman times, didn't they have great music too?
I watched this video while high and my life has never been the same
Video: a deep philosophical conversation about being remembered.
Alexa: well that's 5 minutes we'll never get back.
I cringed a little
That's how it works. But uhh..yaa it was quite unexpected.
Let’s not fall for the idea that people in the future are wiser. I mean, extrapolating forward from here...
It's true.
your average human doesn't care about history.
I've seen plenty of people at history museums look at world changing stuff and they say "Oh cool...." then walk off and never say another word about it.
Typical netizen
These videos are some of the most deep and anxiety inducing videos I've ever viewed.
Like its kinda of depressing but also calm almost like a cool breeze in a volcanic inferno.
I can't describe my feelings.
I feel the same.. It's making me kinda depressed. I'm confused, lost..
Perfect ❤🙏🏼
We will be immortal in 2050 when technological singularity happens.
I first see you in DC film vids and now here... father?
Given enough time, all your trophies will be trashed by someone else!”
Don’t care who remembers me, but kind of want to make sure a certain someone ceases to remember anything. Obviously, because they’re enjoying life so much.
im scared from the future and the fact that i wont be there, ill be dead
You weren't alive a lot longer before your birth.
Same
@@eltiochusma an eternity actually
@stupidbaby you're only afraid cause you are selfish and want to live forever a typical person who will never achieve anything for anyone
Syar Ckart wow relax ! People like u are actually the ones that never achieve anything.
"But nothing lives forever and everyone loses everything. To live for or to care about being remembered is like planning your own birthday party on a day that you can't go. If I want to celebrate my life I can only do it now while I'm still here." --- this is really making me think about what I want to do
Well said
Well that’s 7 minutes we’ll never get back
This video beautifully slides from nihilism into existentialism, and in the end subverts it using absurdism.
