It's hard to separate that concept from simply republishing the same thing under a more recognized brand name. It's the quickest route to profit, and underpins the examples in this video. If the copies added something new, trimmed the fat, or simply re-envisioned the content, the only tangible difference is that the same content was produced by one but added to the success of another. The infinite recursion argument from this video is the only thing that gives a plagiarist the excuse of "well, you didn't invent that either, and so you should be happy that I made it popular, and thus, validated your effort."

Haha I was thinking of that exact verse, you could use this video as a tool to put forth an argument that if all ideas are borrowed, then the original idea of anything must come from outside the realm of the human mind, given that it can only perceive information that already exists. :)
As a writer I live in a constant struggle. Almost every time I come up with an idea, I do research and find that the same story pattern has been used in a book hundred years ago. I just need to learn not to care that much.
If you write as a profession (or dedicated hobby), I would suggest that you don't focus so much on the story pattern, but more on how it is carried out and add your own personal spice to the main factors that drive the story forward. A good writer can turn any common-day occurance into an event worthy of a reader's highest attention. As such, it's not the occurance that is important, it's how you tell the story about it.
@@Real_MisterSir Shit that is _so_ entirely true!! If you are a master at storytelling then you could entice someone or bring them to tears even as you tell them how the mc skillfully peeled his apple then drank his orange juice before going to the store on a stormy day. It's all in the words, not necessarily the plot itself.
I too stumble on upon this problem quite often. Usually, I just continue to break down my idea (if I find out its already used) into smaller chunks, build upon those and then try and match it togheter. Seeing if I can create something "original". Of course, building on top of a concept is what I belive is the best possible thing, as it grants a completely new perspective. But either way.. I wish you the best of luck!
I think a better video title would have been: Your Brain Can't Comprehend A Blank Slate. I suspect what is happening is that the struggle to find something "completely original" is what's at issue, resulting in a short circuiting and your subconscious brain scuppering you. I've got no expertise in this matter at all, but it might be that taking fiction and rewriting it as many ways as you can could break you out of the lull, teaching your subconscious that "originality" can't exist in a void.
As a Dutch person, hearing Van Gogh's name pronounced like this is very satisfying. Closest pronunciation I've heard from someone who isn't native. Now that is original.
I am a huge fan of Van Gogh, and learned the correct pronunciation from my young niece, who toured Europe several times and visited the famous museum where most of his work hangs. I always pronounce it the correct way, and everyone corrects me...its never ending. I'm glad you posted, it makes me feel better. I like Van Gogh so much I don't want to say his name incorrectly!
@@christineparis5607 I mean I'm not a Van Gogh fan (no disliking, just not an art person) but I still wanna point it out in some circumstances because everyone needs at least a little pride in their country.
@@Thoomas2001 I'm glad you commented! I always want to hear how the people in the country of origin pronounce names we are familiar with, but may not have learned correctly. I can't remember the name of the museum where most of his work is (do you know the name?), it was not large, but my niece was just overwhelmed, she is an artist and loved everything there. She also said the people were very nice and friendly (As a 6 year old, her mom married a man who loved to travel a great deal, and she went around the world with them until she was in her late teens. I loved hearing her views on where they went, she had an incredible gift for talking to anyone, and as a beautiful little girl from California, always attracted a lot of attention). I am convinced if children could travel for a couple of years around the planet, they would become much better citizens of the world. The benefits would create interactive nations and understanding, instead of the ignorant xenophobia so prevalent today. I realize how expensive it would be, but I still think it would be great.

I needed to hear this. I used to be a creator and I eventually quit because I felt it'd all been done before, and what could I possibly bring to every story that's been done before. Thank you, Thoughty2.
scientists don't exactly come up with new ideas,making a discovery is like playing sudoku. they study phenomena,they do math,they do observations,and then they make the invention. they don't randomly come up with a new invention years ahead their time and instantly know every single detail about it. if someone wanted to make a time machine they will need to know how space time works first.
Ideas that come to my mind: - A nationwide maglev train (cargo and passenger) network in the US - 900 GW Nuclear majority US electric grid - Mass produced 5-10 or 40-50 mixed use buildings for cities - Mass produced city streets with bike lanes, transit lanes, and wide side walks
That's what I keep on saying unto others. Nothing really is original everything is a copy of others and evolved into a different variant of their parent
Whenever I start watching a vid from this channel I think like"Omg I will loose all hope that life is grand and awesome after this" At the end of it I get more hope and inspiration.
This is a sobering and much needed reality check for us creators working hard to make our own thing. But in a way, it's kind of a blessing that everything is (not completely) new - that everything is a variation of something before, not only (like you said) because it builds on what'd been before, but also because of how we view and enjoy things. Let me explain: Reading books, or walking into movies or tv shows, we enjoy surprises, but there are certain core elements that remain the same (and we expect them to) - tropes and story structure. Everything runs on a basic core system like mods in a video game, and these skeletal mythos and conventions are older than sin. It's how you dress them up that makes them interesting. Too many subversions and people actually get turned off. (I think this explain why so many people didn't like the ending of GOT, but I digress). People all have an insatiably favorite genre or genres that we enjoy, and we keep going back to them throughout our lives. If nothing was made because it was simply a variation of something before it, we would have NONE of the favorites we grew up with. Everyone would be re-reading or re-binging the same story for years on end until we croak, and that's just boring. Variation means that there are other similar shows and stories that we can enjoy equally (or sometimes, even more so) even after finishing our favorite series. This process continues indefinitely. It's dizzying to think about, but we do it all the time. 🤷
I play guitar. 99.9% of what I play I have copied from others. Yet when I write a song, it is mine, even if I get the idea from something or someone else. When I write fiction, I am borrowing from my own experience or what I have heard or seen. Fascinating, Thoughty2! It doesn't however take away my enjoyment of it.
Great video, thanks for the upload!! - Although I have to add that *Christopher Booker might not be the best source of information,* as his book "The Seven Basic Plots" was (also) heavily critizised. For example: tragedy is a "genre" and not a plot in itself - it's far too broadly defined for that and a gazillion of widely different plots would fall into that category without any shared caracteristics other than a tragic plot development.
I had just watched, back to back, "Volcano" with Tommy Lee Jones, and "Dante's Peak" with Pierce Brosnan, both released with two months of each other in 1997. I used to blame studio spies, but then, the months of writing and rehearsals make the chance of that just about nil. Thanks for helping me understand.
"Underwater basket weaving" NOFX - Anarchy Camp A phrase that's been used since the 50's And all this talk about how there are but a few different stories, but not a single mention of Joseph Campbell's Monomyth as described in Hero With a Thousand Faces.
Star Wars, Avatar, Robin Hood, Pochohontis, Terminator and so many others are all the same story. A beautiful warrior princess, her renegade knight and a motley crew of misfits fight overwhelming odds and prevail. We all love that story.
Actually, Van Gogh was Dutch, so his name should be pronounced Cock/Gock. She he got it fight. If you're American who says Van "Go" or Brit who says Van "Goff" then you are the wrong one.

when I used to draw digitally I would always name my files ''jdksfjlkjsd'' and it happened serveral times where it said ''this name is already taken, choose another one'' .. idk that just came to my mind lol
Yeaaah, I dont buy this one cheif. Sure, most ideas usually draw inspiration from one or more sources, but it's a massive stretch to say it's impossible to have an original idea. Let's take a fantasy trope of orcs and elves for example. Those had to be created at some point. There would have been a time when those were new ideas. And that goes for almost everything. It was a new, original idea at some point.
Thank you. This was my thought from the beginning of the video. Also, the fancy smartphone I was watching the video on didn't even exist when I was born.
I guess the point is that everything we make is inspired by something else.. smartphones were inspired by normal phones, which were inspired by telephones, which were made by experimenting ideas until success, which started with a simple idea (how to communicate from big distances), which was inspired by normal communication and the lack of better communication. The point being is that we always aspire to make things better, to improve. But in order to have an idea, there always needs to be a thought process, a comparison, experimentation, inspiration and motivation. It has to start somewhere, from something that directly affects us in some way.
Someone needed to make this video. Art is like an evolutionary process or similar to the passing of genetic information. New things are born and the process continues.

You opened everything. Its a new beginning. Thanks Bro
It's so easy for us artists to struggle with the feeling of being a fraud and not bringing anything new to the world...
..so, thank you.. I needed to hear this.
My favorite example of Twin Films:
White House Down
Olympus has fallen.
I've seen both at least twice, and cannot remember which characters are in which or specifically what happens in which.
Channing Tatum Vs Gerald Butler. Two shitty actors in amusing but shitty films.
My guilty pleasure favorite: deep impact & Armageddon
My actual favorite: enemy & the double
Honorable mention: the invitation & get out
Glad I checked before I made this comment
Well you probably made someone else's video too, right ?
A British Gentelman's science channel is advertising a flashy informal gaming app.
I hope no one actually watching is dumb enough to try that horseshit mobile scam game crap, but they can pay my fav youtubers all they want, I'll just mumble something to myself during the ads
Thank you sir, sincerely. This has helped me to move on with my creativity.
I needed to hear this. I used to be a creator and I eventually quit because I felt it'd all been done before, and what could I possibly bring to every story that's been done before. Thank you, Thoughty2.
You’re brain can’t create new ideas
Artists and scientists: are we a joke to you?
scientists don't exactly come up with new ideas,making a discovery is like playing sudoku.
they study phenomena,they do math,they do observations,and then they make the invention.
they don't randomly come up with a new invention years ahead their time and instantly know every single detail about it.
if someone wanted to make a time machine they will need to know how space time works first.

...did you actually watch the video?
Artists don’t create original ideas
Especially the ones who actually get paid
This video was sponsored by RAID: Area 51.
Isekai manga,anime/VN artist need to watch this video.
Ideas that come to my mind:
- A nationwide maglev train (cargo and passenger) network in the US
- 900 GW Nuclear majority US electric grid
- Mass produced 5-10 or 40-50 mixed use buildings for cities
- Mass produced city streets with bike lanes, transit lanes, and wide side walks
That's what I keep on saying unto others.
Nothing really is original everything is a copy of others and evolved into a different variant of their parent
How many times have you changed the thumbnail to this video?
thanks for confirming. i thought it was my imagination. it was a yellow and blue brain at some point
A lot?
Click rate
i use this video as my excuse to torrent everything
I highly endorse this product and/or service...
that is exactly right and doesn't take away anything from the amazement every time it happens
ideas are neither created nor destroyed, but simply transformed from one idea into another...
Like energy....

At some point in time everything will be said even when you try to add value
Raid shadow legends is pay to win trash. Like every mobile game.
Almost makes you wish that you could come up with something similar and laugh at the people who pay real money for bull shit content. I know I do
I would say infinity blade is a masterpiece
You should try Achikaps. It's a free minimalistic strategy game devoid of advertisements.

At the end of it I get more hope and inspiration.
This is a sobering and much needed reality check for us creators working hard to make our own thing. But in a way, it's kind of a blessing that everything is (not completely) new - that everything is a variation of something before, not only (like you said) because it builds on what'd been before, but also because of how we view and enjoy things. Let me explain:
Reading books, or walking into movies or tv shows, we enjoy surprises, but there are certain core elements that remain the same (and we expect them to) - tropes and story structure. Everything runs on a basic core system like mods in a video game, and these skeletal mythos and conventions are older than sin. It's how you dress them up that makes them interesting. Too many subversions and people actually get turned off. (I think this explain why so many people didn't like the ending of GOT, but I digress).
People all have an insatiably favorite genre or genres that we enjoy, and we keep going back to them throughout our lives. If nothing was made because it was simply a variation of something before it, we would have NONE of the favorites we grew up with. Everyone would be re-reading or re-binging the same story for years on end until we croak, and that's just boring. Variation means that there are other similar shows and stories that we can enjoy equally (or sometimes, even more so) even after finishing our favorite series. This process continues indefinitely. It's dizzying to think about, but we do it all the time. 🤷
Creativity is born in *STILLNESS*
Only by letting the consciousness to flow freely that we are able to come up with new ideas
This is the exact reason why we should stop bringing stuff with us to the toilet

He said there were only 7 possible plot lines but what about slice of life?
Usually, they are comedy or tragedy, aren't they?
Wait a second, you're telling me that my sonic oc FONIC isn't OrIgInaL??

Even if it's a joke, your Comment is right
I play guitar. 99.9% of what I play I have copied from others. Yet when I write a song, it is mine, even if I get the idea from something or someone else. When I write fiction, I am borrowing from my own experience or what I have heard or seen. Fascinating, Thoughty2! It doesn't however take away my enjoyment of it.
It's the fact that even the ideas you copy are themselves copies from other ideas which are copied.
It’s not EXACTLY like a control-c control-v, but like an HD Remaster…
I can do you one better. ALL stories fit into one of two categories
Fiction
Non-Fiction
Mind Blown
What about fiction that threatens to kick your ass if you don't treat it as non-fiction..... like the bible or Qu'ran?
Now try to fit it into just one

Great video, thanks for the upload!! - Although I have to add that *Christopher Booker might not be the best source of information,* as his book "The Seven Basic Plots" was (also) heavily critizised. For example: tragedy is a "genre" and not a plot in itself - it's far too broadly defined for that and a gazillion of widely different plots would fall into that category without any shared caracteristics other than a tragic plot development.
I had just watched, back to back, "Volcano" with Tommy Lee Jones, and "Dante's Peak" with Pierce Brosnan, both released with two months of each other in 1997. I used to blame studio spies, but then, the months of writing and rehearsals make the chance of that just about nil. Thanks for helping me understand.

According to Thoughty2, idea for the game Raid was also stolen.

And all this talk about how there are but a few different stories, but not a single mention of Joseph Campbell's Monomyth as described in Hero With a Thousand Faces.
Star Wars, Avatar, Robin Hood, Pochohontis, Terminator and so many others are all the same story. A beautiful warrior princess, her renegade knight and a motley crew of misfits fight overwhelming odds and prevail. We all love that story.

Well, the Bible backs you up on this one mate; Ecclesiastes 1:9
@Wade Haden perhaps you should read the verse in Ecclesiastes. The point of my comment is how Ecclesiastes fits the theme of this video.

The way he said Van Gogh triggers me so

Actually, Van Gogh was Dutch, so his name should be pronounced Cock/Gock. She he got it fight. If you're American who says Van "Go" or Brit who says Van "Goff" then you are the wrong one.

Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"

when I used to draw digitally I would always name my files ''jdksfjlkjsd'' and it happened serveral times where it said ''this name is already taken, choose another one'' .. idk that just came to my mind lol
I read that in a book. I am not lying I promise
the idea itself is totally unoriginal.
Library of Babel. QED. It has been done
Yeaaah, I dont buy this one cheif. Sure, most ideas usually draw inspiration from one or more sources, but it's a massive stretch to say it's impossible to have an original idea. Let's take a fantasy trope of orcs and elves for example. Those had to be created at some point. There would have been a time when those were new ideas. And that goes for almost everything. It was a new, original idea at some point.
Thank you. This was my thought from the beginning of the video. Also, the fancy smartphone I was watching the video on didn't even exist when I was born.
I guess the point is that everything we make is inspired by something else.. smartphones were inspired by normal phones, which were inspired by telephones, which were made by experimenting ideas until success, which started with a simple idea (how to communicate from big distances), which was inspired by normal communication and the lack of better communication. The point being is that we always aspire to make things better, to improve. But in order to have an idea, there always needs to be a thought process, a comparison, experimentation, inspiration and motivation. It has to start somewhere, from something that directly affects us in some way.
Elves are from norse mythology
he literally says that there was a time where an original idea was possible
This man is speaking the truth!
If you don't believe him. Try to think of a new color if you can.
Someone needed to make this video. Art is like an evolutionary process or similar to the passing of genetic information. New things are born and the process continues.
