The man from Taured is my favorite because I like to think in his world there was a mysterious guy from "France" and nobody knows what he's talking about
Update for the bloop for anyone curious. It has recently been identified as the sound of an icequake. An icequake is when part of an iceberg cracks and breaks off from the whole. It took a long time to identify the sound as it used to be a semi-rare event. Due to global warming, however, icequakes are more common and we have thus been able to identify the sound. So yeah, not the sound of an unidentified sea creature, but rather the sound of the ice caps melting and breaking. Still terrifying, albeit in a slightly different way
@@stevemyers3082 They think they are so smart. It's kinda sad honestly. A very small percentage of this entire list comes down to real world events, the rest is clearly bs.
I got scared when i read that. Bc its really hard for me to believe in crazy stuff and im watching this for fun. But then this title came in and i got like "holy shit will i start to have faith in a weird thing after that??!?!?" Ur comment saved me
17:21 I’ve actually been to the Denver Airport multiple times, and it’s just as crazy as it sounds. There’s big areas of construction with big posters that say stuff like “Ongoing construction? Or gateway to hell?” There’s also a random astronaut suit. All the conspiracies are fully embraced and it’s hilarious. Though it is a bit odd that construction has been going on for so many years in the same area… 🤔
comparative education major here! The "feral children" describes the effects of hospitalism! Super interesting topic, I spent a lot of time studying about this especially documented cases such as "genie" the so called wolf child. It's incredible and sad at the same time to see how irrevirsible the damage of abandonment is, in fact, it's believed that the learning of speech is entirely impossible for children affected by hospitalism. They also lose every sense of temperature which is like..super crazy??? You could put children like them into heated water and ice cold one and they would feel zero difference. Sadly there's so far no way to cure this...usually they end up in caring centers or are used for research purpose, though they're mentally so destroyed that there's no way to save them
Dang... that's so sad... I always kinda wondered what happens to these kids once they're found and put back with people, and if they ever manage to learn or understand how to speak and behave like a human, but I guess the story of Tarzan is a myth... And I guess that example among others just goes to show how important the early stages of childhood are for development, and how some things that happen to children can just be so... permanent...
@@leirawhitehart1236 yep, early childhood years are very important and delicate years for development. DID (dissociative identity disorder) can only be developed through early childhood trauma. So a child’s mind can literally split itself into different people/alters while an adults can’t. It’s fascinating really just how important those early years are for a person to build both a personality and knowledge of how the world works
@SSR Yeah, I had a friend once who had DID, and it was... a challenging friendship, I will say... There was just... so much of her that was broken, and it wasn't even her other personalities that were the problem most of the time, as I got along well with most of them, and they all liked me, but... even so, there were two alters of hers that just scared me so much, and put me on edge whenever they fronted, and just... it was hard to take sometimes, because I often feared for her safety... She also had major trust issues, and given her story, it was easy to understand why... But what saddened me the most about her was that this was permanent. Her trauma would likely never leave her, even if she did get better, and she could never live a normal, healthy life... Our friendship unfortunately ended about two years ago, so I don't know how she's doing now, but I do think about her every now and then, and I often hope that she's gotten help, and is better now than she was last I saw her...
yeah, childhood neglect/abuse/trauma causes so many permanent issues. i was neglected (not to the level of genie and some others obviously) and abused from birth till i was 14 and i have some physical and emotional effects from it. i stare at walls for hours, cant regulate my emotions well, have problems regulating my temperature (im always either too hot or too cold), have to have food locked up essentially because otherwise i'll eat until i puke and keep eating after even if im not hungry, drink several bottles of water in one sitting because in my mind I'm always thirsty, dont really make facial expressions, and talk to myself/rock back and forth for several hours at a time. all supposedly due to the neglect during my first few years of life especially. i've been through years of therapy and medical treatments even to fix these things but with no success. it sucks because my iq and stuff is normal, but because i have these issues most people assume im stupid, and i cant go to normal school/college and keep down a normal job so far. its so sad to see other people who have more issues and think about how they were treated to lead to it.
The Russian sleep experiments were creepy when I was a kid, but just over a year ago we had a terrifying medical episode where one of my siblings wouldn’t sleep after a relatively safe and routine surgery. They went nine days straight and toward the end they started hallucinating that demons from hell were coming to get them. Eventually they had a breakdown so severe that we had to call 911 for medics to come and help. I locked myself in my room with the dogs while the medics came and helped, and all I remember is hearing my sibling scream “I’m not dead, I’m not dead,” terrified that the strangers were grim reapers. My sibling is doing much better now. It was rough going and it took a long time to recover from that long episode of mania (in fact, COVID hit right as they were getting their mojo back) but they’re happy and healthy and getting a regular amount of sleep now. I’ve asked them once whether they remember what happened the night of the meltdown, and they just remembered arguing with me over dinner, and then waking up in the hospital. Guess I’m just saying all this here because the Russian Sleep Experiment is a hilariously grotesque creepypasta, but maybe there’s a kernel of truth buried deep inside all the silly edginess.
I had one of those too lmao, shit sucks. I also don't remember any of it other than the stuff I wrote down bc fiction is a big coping mechanism but boy I'm glad I don't because the stuff I do remember is not fun!!
@@officersquarehead just like a series of short stories and dialogues that sort of reflected a lot of the emotions and thoughts I was having at the time.
Much as I hate to kill the mystique, "the bloop" has been explained. It was an icequake. I don't think that I have to explain what that means, it's pretty self explanatory. Big chunks of ice rubbing against other big chunks of ice. It bums me out almost as much as when I found out that the "Dark Flow" was most likely not a thing either.
Nah, it’s just an explanation. That’s how every fucking sound in the ocean is explained. Tectonic plates moving, ice Bergs crushing and crashing, but we don’t really know.
@@user-fi9qo8lq3v No, but I do trust Occam's Razor. The less complicated a theory is, the more likely it's correct. We've seen plates shift. What we've not seen is evidence of an ecosystem which could support the Bloop Creature's existence.
I'm watching this part of the series for the first time, and it's so fun hearing him thank people for nearing 1,000 subscribers, meanwhile today he's at over 2 million.
no need to worry about “the bloop”! it was actually just an iceberg collapsing and breaking away from a glacier! this resulted in an extremely low-frequency sound that traveled miles and miles away, where we eventually caught the sound as an audio recording!
I’ll be honest. I don’t think it’s possible for an incredibly large creature to survive down there as the pressure of the place should suggest that evolution will create smaller, or more linear, creatures. So the iceberg collapsing makes more sense to me. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
@@qwertydog9795 Deep sea creatures are actually larger than their shallow water counterparts. It's called "Deep Sea Gigantism". It's not known why this happens but theories include larger sizes are more efficient at retaining heat and processing nutrients. That said a leviathan-sized creature that could produce a sound that large is likely impossible.
imagine being put in the ocean, you can never drown and u just keep descending slowly further into the ocean until u eventually get to a point where sunlight doesn’t reach it and around you are in just pure darkness and then u just hear the bloop sound
makes sense. fake passport, disappears from the hotel room because security got involved. sounds very familiar; i dont think it had anything to do with alternate universes.
I am confused, why couldn't bloop just be a volcanic activity beneath ocean floor or tectonic plates moving, esp. if it came from the bottom of the ocean?
@@MELLMAO think of it this way, this was a completely new sound, never heard before by people who study the bottom of the ocean. If they heard the sound and went “no that doesn’t sound like a volcanic eruption below water” then I’d assume it wasn’t that
You can probably do it yourself, but given that a. there seemed to be a craze in the late 19th about mysterious, ancient cultures b. it is based on the concept of the missing continent of Limuria, a pseudoscientific idea at best proposed by a zoologist far far before understanding of how continents work c. the 'people of the mount' is heavily based on a folktale which is from a book called 'weird california' or something of the like, I can't even call it a conspiracy theory in the sense that there is some evidences or logic to it or that with suspension of disbelief it is tangible, it's more akin to a local folktale/folklore of modern American society integrating the already ingrained indigenous mythology about the mountain with a more 'Westernized' approach to it (Limurians, tall men, riches, etc., rather than a spirit of some animist God as it originally was). Or you can call it 'conspiracy theory' in the sense it is believable if you're fond of Flat Earth and stuff of the sort...
The bad sound mixing of this series actually kind of makes it better. It feels less like someone is explaining something to me and more like I’m just having a weird conversation about conspiracy theories with a friend
I live in Denver and travel a lot, so I know my way around the airport. There was a recent plan to overhaul the main terminal, and construction began about 1.5-2 years ago. The barriers for the construction zones are littered in joking remarks toward the numerous conspiracy theories about the airport, and if you ask me, it's just a publicity stunt to draw more attraction to the airport.
As a physics nerd, just wanted to correct Wendigoon on Schrodinger's Cat Wendigoon explains it as a theory when in reality it's just a thought experiment. In real life the outcome is determined even if it is never measured by conscious beings.
@@matthiaswanner562 Because on the macroscopic level, objects dont behave q mechanical anymore. This has mainly to do with how everything at our macroscopic level can be easily observed without changing its state by any measurable amount. On the macroscopic, this is not the case. The cat would be in a superposition state for the fraction of a fraction of a second at most, before the probability wave just collapses into one outcome.
It seems like any philosophy conspiracy theorists learn is just treated like a piece to be absorbed into other theories, instead of an idea to question for its own merit. I once had someone tell me that the existence of writing about marxism and transhumanism is _evidence_ that the world is run by communist cyborgs. It doesn't surprise me that philosophies would just be thrown onto the iceberg next to alien stuff.
I'm a philosophy major about to graduate and a couple of the topics he brings up (anti natalism, mereological nihilism, and a couple others) i had half semester courses on lmao.
2:17 this dude was under 1k and he was grinding, dedicating this much time and effort into making great videos??? You’re a true legend bro. Must be crazy to almost be at 500k now. U deserve it!
As a person who listens to sounds out in the middle of the ocean as part of my job, there are sounds out there waaay scarier sounding than the "bloop" which is likely tectonic activity of some sort. Even when some of these noises have mechanical or natural explanations sometimes they are still very creepy XD
If you think of the tree swastikas not as the symbol Hitler intended, but instead as a pagan Sun Wheel or a symbol of the Four Seasons, it would make sense that older druidic groups could have planted the trees in this manner with the intent of using them for ritualistic purposes.
@@deezznuts5396 I’m not sure if it’s the Aztec, but didn’t some indigenous society in South America make huge carvings into the ground that can only be seen from an airplane? Just Bc they couldn’t see the whole picture didn’t mean they wouldn’t make it. It wasn’t for them it was for who they worshipped
i wish he would use more pictures and visuals. like when he was talking about the denver airport i would’ve really liked to see the paintings or airport layout
Conspiracy theories have fascinated me my whole life. I’m so pumped for this series & im trying to watch it as fast as I can before they’re removed 😭 thank you for all of your hard work!!
i absolutely adore how you are just as excited for 1000 subs as all the other milestones, here at 858k and you still never fail to be incredibly genuine and thankful. Keep up the great work dude.
I’ve heard a great thing about quantum suicide when someone told me “I like to think that when you die you swap to a different alternative dimension where you don’t, for example if you were to get shot, you would hear *clickclickclick* of the gun barrel clicking around but you wouldn’t actually get shot, you would, but you wouldn’t feel it because you’d flash quickly between universes where you did die until you get to one where you didn’t, that’s what people mean when they say their life flashed before their eyes” I don’t necessarily believe it, but I think it’s a cool concept and it’s probably a good way to deal with death if you aren’t religious
The only issue I have with it is it assumes that all your other alternate “you’s” don’t have a consciousness or soul before you die Making you the main “you” I don’t really like that Unless you believe that you just become the other you As in you’d just become them and have all their thoughts and beliefs without REALISING that you’ve become another person WHICH, could be a good explanation for the mandala effect and why little things change out of no where I think it’s a cool thought
The Man in the High Castle (a tv show based on a novel) did something similar, it had alternative universes and you could cross over to a different universe but only when the "other you" died. It's a great show, unfortunately it ended too quickly because it was cancelled.
I have a friend who technically died in a car crash and then hitting the steering wheel kickstarted their heart again and they are sorta convinced they dimension hopped. Before the crash they were super into science and math, and after the crash all of the sudden they could draw so they majored in art
Wendigoon saying he’s near a thousand subs makes me so happy bc he’s my fave youtuber and he’s over million now. so glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves but super nice to see him getting excited about a milestone like this :)
Sometimes youtube really does randomly recommend gold. It's adorable that he said he's at a thousand, at this rate he'll hit a million in a month or so.
when i was like, 5, i almost died from drowning, and after that, i always thought “what if i actually did die, but my consciousness just went to another universe?”. i didnt know that was basically the quantum immortality theory, and thought i was so smart for thinking of it lmao.
There so many things that normal people think just for thinking and later discover that a wise/scientific person said it after many years of research and observation. I call this the "Degrees Are Useless" theory.
@@tomboywarrior3229 Honestly. Half the big scientific discoveries were done by complete accident or by what essentially amounts to random normal people finding out or doing stuff.
Quantum immortality doesn't involve your consciousness "going" anywhere though. If true, you were already in both realities, but your reality is one in which you survived.
2:10 hard to believe that this channel only had around 1,000 subscribers just about a year and a half ago and is nearing 1.15 million now, and (from one of the comments) had just 500k back in august people really love this type of stuff said in a more laid-back and calmer tone instead of those "top ten conspiracy theories" videos, yall know the ones. plus, you actually go deeper into things than most others do and talk about more lesser known topics that I've either never heard about or only heard tidbits from my early days on social media. i love putting my earbuds in and coloring on my phone while you talk about things that get me thinking, adds a little more flavor into my life
I've always loved the schrödinger's cat theory. A modern take I've found years ago that can apply to us today is when we drop our phones & they land screen down.
love love loooove conspiracy theories, recently got into the iceberg but couldn’t find any videos or in depth explanations on it until someone on tiktok commented on a conspiracy video i was watch about how YOU have made a whoooole series on the iceberg itself. LOVE IT.. immediately subscribed!
Just under two years ago the madlad was under 1K subs, now he's closing in on 2 million. Holy crap Isaiah. You deserve every bit of success you've gotten and I can't wait to see what you do in the future.
@@laurenmiller9143 most of the idea is badass because its practically a truth-seeking way of many phenomenon in our world. What makes it difficult is because we have to convert many things to number, it becomes very complez
12:59 Well, luckily for you and your fear of the ocean, "Bloop" *HAS* been explained. It wasn't some scary creature, but it was actually discovered to be HUGE, and I mean huge, ice sheets in The Artic (or Antarctica, I can't remember which), that simply melted and fell into the ocean causing that ridiculously loud sound. Which is ironic because this video is about an "iceberg" so to speak.
i’m watching this when you have almost 1mil and your my favorite youtuber and the way you explain things makes it easy for me to understand and actually enjoy and you don’t make everything creepy. thank you for being an awesome youtuber. i love you whole channel ❤️
I can see why this guy went from 1k to 1.72m subs in one year. His content is interesting, informative, and thought provoking. It’s also really well researched and not pushing any agenda. He deserves his glow up 😊
Saw the final video in my feed and decided to go all the way back and start from the beginning. Incredible you went from 1k subs to 1 million! Well deserved!!!
Roko's Basilisk really has nothing to do with time travel and is in fact much much worse. What made as popular as it was is the fact that in it's original form you could conceivably classify it as a cognitohazard. In the original post the Basilisk as it's called decided that humans are bad or whatever and wants to torture them for all eternity but at the same time wants to spare those who helped with its creation. To do this and since it's so powerful and intelligent it decides to create a simulation that is or is nearly perfectly accurate to reality and run through it so it can model what people helped with it's creation or not. What makes it so insidious is it posits that we have no idea if we're the models being run on the simulation or not since it would be indistinguishable from reality, Roko then goes onto state that because of this uncertainty it would be better if we went along with this plan to actually go ahead and bring the Basilisk into existence as a way to keep yourself from being tortured for eternity. This is why it's called a Basilisk, which is a mythological creature that can kill with a glance, it's an idea that once introduced to a person could cause that person to be manipulated by an entity from the future, that doesn't exist yet and might not exist at all. But the idea could cause the reality to happen regardless out of a fear of the consequences of doing nothing. In essence it acts like basilisk, once it has you in it's sights your fate is sealed.
So essentially, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe some future AI is going to punish you unless you actively work to bring it into creation, you're going to bring it into creation and in the process create the problem you're trying to avoid in the first place.
@@amandas2639 very much so. As terrifying as it is however, i think we can all agree here that it would be very interesting to witness it even if it meant we'd all be dead or tortured for eternity
Didn't the original story posit that the Basilisk is tasked by it's creator with optimising human civilisation? That would be reason enough to start acting to prevent the Basilisk's creation. In the case of only-torturing Basilisk equally so. It always bothered me how everyone is just going with the flow of the logic in the story. It's equally reasonable to decide to act against it and work to prevent it's creation as to help it. Everybody I've seen talk about it is just set into "if it's true, we would have to help". If you didn't start a Basilisk-cult the moment you first heard of the story, you might as well be judged guilty by the Basilisk IF it ever arrives. I kinda hate the story because how flawed it's reasoning is an because how everyone I've seen fails to notice it.
As someone who did lighting for stage productions, I was always down for doing weird things with the lights. Someone probably went "can you do something weird" and before the sentence was over the lighting guys went ABSOLUTELY
I find the Quantum S**cide and Immortality theory a little comforting bc now I can imagine a timeline where there's a me who's more depressed and another one where there's a me who is happier, which means there's a me that feels worse than how I feel and there's a me that's actually happy :')
Underrated channel You need some better equipment and maybe more refined presentation/editing but you're gonna make it big Remember of this and say hi when you inevitably reach 100k
Damn it’s crazy hearing you be happy about 1k seeing your account at 1M it’s inspirational af just shows what consistency and passion for something can do
About Roko's experiment. I think he focused way too much on the monster and not the thought experiment. It is about dangerous knowledge, as in imagine a Big Bad that comes to those who do not aid its development or tries to impede it, but does not affect does who never hear of it. Would you tell others about this big bad for your survival? (because you can't do this alone), would you keep it as a secret to spare the lives of others? There is possibility that it becomes real despite your efforts to not tell others about it. That's it basically, there's even a joke. The Christian got to the new land and said to the native, "this is my God, he is almighty and benevolent, to those who believe in him. To those who know of his word, and don't follow it are going to die a painful death and suffer for eternity." and the native in response, "Then why did you tell me? "
@Fahd The King Ehhh, it only really comes across as edgy because it's called a basilisk, but it's called as such because the premise is basically "behold this thing and it hurts you", like how looking at a basilisk turns one to stone.
The thought process is fine and it has been done already in multiple instances across history, but the example as itself is stupid beyond measure. I mean have you not seen what happens to the super villain sidekicks in every movie?
the quantum suicide and immortality was super cool to me bc i studied philosophy at uni and the idea is basically like the sorites paradox but i hadn't thought of it in those terms before. super cool video and series!!
As someone who majored in Physics in college and saw lots of professors atempt to explain quantum physics and fail miserably, you instantly are a hero xD
One part of the Conspiracy Theory iceberg is literally that the weapons the Germans worked on IRL that were later implemented into the video game Call of Duty are still being worked on IRL today. That’s funny.

Schrodinger's Cat is in a state of superposition because the 50% chance is derived directly from the random decay of a radioactive isotope (a quantum-mechanical process). The cat would live if it doesn't decay, dies if it does, via a mechanism that detects the decay and releases poisonous gas etc into the box. That's why we assume both states until the cat is observed, as opposed to other everyday things that have a definite outcome when not being observed.
1000 subs...man I'm so happy for you bro I could tell that sincerely meant alot to you...look at you now tons more and a channel I always look forward to uploading
The fact that the horse statue outside the Denver International Airport killed a man and people call it Bluecifer made me laugh out loud ngl. It’s morbid but it’s hilarious talk about bleeding for your art like damn.
I wanted to mention that "Schrodinger's Cat" was originally meant to make the emerging idea of the uncertainty principle seem absurd. Over the years it has been used as a way to show people just how interesting the uncertainty principle's implications are, as we now know it to be correct.
*superposition of states - uncertainty principles are a mathematical inequality that come out of the algebra when you try to operate on a quantum state with operators that dont commute - most famously position and momentum. The uncertaintly principle is mathematical fact, the superposition of states is the thing that shrodinger was trying to show must have a breaking point (or some logical flaw) by coming up with a situation where the cat must be thought of as in a superposition of both dead and alive states, which clearly can't be a physical possibility
Thank you. I was about to comment the same thing. It was never meant to be taken seriously, and was truly intended to shed light upon the stupidity of the concept.
@@hughperryman6556 It seems to me that the uncertainty principle might only apply at current technology. It says we can't know the speed and position of a particle at the same time because measuring one changes the other. But maybe that's just because our technology is too intrusive. Perhaps in the future a method will be developed to measure the speed and position of particles without changing either.
@@greywolf7577 it's an interesting speculation. However there is an awful lot of fundamental quantum physics that leads to the inequalities known as the uncertainty principle. Aspects that would have to be side stepped such as the spatial confinement of the wavefunction, which is equivalent to determining the position. If this happens then mathematically the uncertainty principle will hold up. So my point is if you could determine the position of a particle without confining the spatial wavefunction then that is a way in which your speculation could be correct. However it's a bit of a basic way of thinking about this topic so at this point I'd have to defer to someone else
Old video I know, I’m rewatching this series but I think Spirit Science at 19:12 actually refers to UA-camr, former Newgrounds animator, cult larper, and living meme Jordan D. and his crackpot theories on his UA-cam channel Spirit Science ranging from topics such as the pyramids being built from the top down, humanity gaining knowledge from a 15ft Egyptian pharaoh, etc.
I'm from Colorado and I've gotta say, I love Bluecifer. And they're currently doing renovations and stuff and the temporary walls to section off the construction have things like "construction? or government cover-up?" on them and it's very good
The way I had quantum suicide explained is that every time you die your consciousness is transferred to a universe where you didn't die and this keeps going indefinitely. That's quantum immortality. The suicide comes in if you follow the chain of events backwards up to birth, where in one universe you are born and in the other you aren't born and thus that is the suicide universe where you never existed.
Actually I don’t think that’s how it works because imo these alternative universe/parallel universe they all exist in quantum space which is inside our universe but it doesn’t affect people it only affects the universe
The Denver Airport is weird. They have workers just strolling around to guide you where you need to go. I asked an employee last time I was there (back in November) and she said “we don’t talk about it” and she just walked away.
It’s definitely creepy, and there’s most certainly deeper meanings to all the murals. Sadly enough the employees are probably as clueless as we are when it comes to figuring out what it all means
ive been twice, and i was SO lost. thank god my boyfriend at the time regularly went to that airport when he lived there. the airport is so weird and freaky
I just started watching your channel yesterday and I'm seeing you say "near a thousand subscribers." while I'm watching you're at 780k. Congrats on an unreal 2021 brother
i think it's kind of fascinating that quite a few of these conspiracy theories seem to be more thought experiment more than anything else. and with thought experiments, it's not so much about being right, but the possibility, what potential that thought experiment has and its implications. also wendigoon has 1 million subscribers now and it's kind of mindboggling that not even 2 years ago, he was only at 1k. I watched his video break down on monument mythos and I was so hooked (i knew absolutely nothing about monument mythos, i didn't even realize that it was an analog horror series until after a few minutes into the video) - it was made all the better by the fact that that video is 3 hours long and just the kind of rabbit hole full my brain loves. really proud of wendigoon!
Idk if anyone cares but the Cagots using different "fonts" isn't about handwriting - they had to use different holy water fonts (aka fountains) when they went to church, and the Cagot man had his hand cut off for using the normal fountain. So it was a form of religious persecution. (Found this from wikipedia)
It’s got a lot of stuff in it, idk i think it would be easy to get lost. Maybe it’s an entrance to the back rooms 👀. Idk I don’t really believe in the back rooms but some do.
Haha..Denver native here. It's better than most airports. And I've flown out of DIA, slept there due to weird AM flights, wandered a ton in there waiting when most shops were closed.

comparative education major here!
The "feral children" describes the effects of hospitalism! Super interesting topic, I spent a lot of time studying about this especially documented cases such as "genie" the so called wolf child. It's incredible and sad at the same time to see how irrevirsible the damage of abandonment is, in fact, it's believed that the learning of speech is entirely impossible for children affected by hospitalism.
They also lose every sense of temperature which is like..super crazy??? You could put children like them into heated water and ice cold one and they would feel zero difference.
Sadly there's so far no way to cure this...usually they end up in caring centers or are used for research purpose, though they're mentally so destroyed that there's no way to save them
I remember learning about Genie and feeling beyond angry.
Dang... that's so sad...
I always kinda wondered what happens to these kids once they're found and put back with people, and if they ever manage to learn or understand how to speak and behave like a human, but I guess the story of Tarzan is a myth...
And I guess that example among others just goes to show how important the early stages of childhood are for development, and how some things that happen to children can just be so... permanent...
@@leirawhitehart1236 yep, early childhood years are very important and delicate years for development. DID (dissociative identity disorder) can only be developed through early childhood trauma. So a child’s mind can literally split itself into different people/alters while an adults can’t. It’s fascinating really just how important those early years are for a person to build both a personality and knowledge of how the world works
@SSR Yeah, I had a friend once who had DID, and it was... a challenging friendship, I will say...
There was just... so much of her that was broken, and it wasn't even her other personalities that were the problem most of the time, as I got along well with most of them, and they all liked me, but... even so, there were two alters of hers that just scared me so much, and put me on edge whenever they fronted, and just... it was hard to take sometimes, because I often feared for her safety...
She also had major trust issues, and given her story, it was easy to understand why...
But what saddened me the most about her was that this was permanent. Her trauma would likely never leave her, even if she did get better, and she could never live a normal, healthy life...
Our friendship unfortunately ended about two years ago, so I don't know how she's doing now, but I do think about her every now and then, and I often hope that she's gotten help, and is better now than she was last I saw her...
yeah, childhood neglect/abuse/trauma causes so many permanent issues. i was neglected (not to the level of genie and some others obviously) and abused from birth till i was 14 and i have some physical and emotional effects from it. i stare at walls for hours, cant regulate my emotions well, have problems regulating my temperature (im always either too hot or too cold), have to have food locked up essentially because otherwise i'll eat until i puke and keep eating after even if im not hungry, drink several bottles of water in one sitting because in my mind I'm always thirsty, dont really make facial expressions, and talk to myself/rock back and forth for several hours at a time. all supposedly due to the neglect during my first few years of life especially. i've been through years of therapy and medical treatments even to fix these things but with no success. it sucks because my iq and stuff is normal, but because i have these issues most people assume im stupid, and i cant go to normal school/college and keep down a normal job so far. its so sad to see other people who have more issues and think about how they were treated to lead to it.

Yeah I read that stuff when I was like 12, spooky stuff
@@barneyward7082 The actual worst picture i've seen. I've seen some real bad stuff too.
I had to skip it, hearing about it once was enough.
The Russian sleep experiments were creepy when I was a kid, but just over a year ago we had a terrifying medical episode where one of my siblings wouldn’t sleep after a relatively safe and routine surgery. They went nine days straight and toward the end they started hallucinating that demons from hell were coming to get them.
Eventually they had a breakdown so severe that we had to call 911 for medics to come and help. I locked myself in my room with the dogs while the medics came and helped, and all I remember is hearing my sibling scream “I’m not dead, I’m not dead,” terrified that the strangers were grim reapers.
My sibling is doing much better now. It was rough going and it took a long time to recover from that long episode of mania (in fact, COVID hit right as they were getting their mojo back) but they’re happy and healthy and getting a regular amount of sleep now. I’ve asked them once whether they remember what happened the night of the meltdown, and they just remembered arguing with me over dinner, and then waking up in the hospital.
Guess I’m just saying all this here because the Russian Sleep Experiment is a hilariously grotesque creepypasta, but maybe there’s a kernel of truth buried deep inside all the silly edginess.
What if the demons are real?
I had one of those too lmao, shit sucks. I also don't remember any of it other than the stuff I wrote down bc fiction is a big coping mechanism but boy I'm glad I don't because the stuff I do remember is not fun!!

Much as I hate to kill the mystique, "the bloop" has been explained. It was an icequake. I don't think that I have to explain what that means, it's pretty self explanatory. Big chunks of ice rubbing against other big chunks of ice.
It bums me out almost as much as when I found out that the "Dark Flow" was most likely not a thing either.
Nice try but we all know you work for the feds. Ice rubbing aint making no "bloop" sound.
Nah, it’s just an explanation. That’s how every fucking sound in the ocean is explained. Tectonic plates moving, ice Bergs crushing and crashing, but we don’t really know.
"I trust that the government and the scientific community is telling the truth"
I was hoping someone had posted about the explanation
@@user-fi9qo8lq3v No, but I do trust Occam's Razor. The less complicated a theory is, the more likely it's correct. We've seen plates shift. What we've not seen is evidence of an ecosystem which could support the Bloop Creature's existence.

Me too! I love suggest stories like this and he seems like a super nice person.
no need to worry about “the bloop”! it was actually just an iceberg collapsing and breaking away from a glacier! this resulted in an extremely low-frequency sound that traveled miles and miles away, where we eventually caught the sound as an audio recording!
I’ll be honest. I don’t think it’s possible for an incredibly large creature to survive down there as the pressure of the place should suggest that evolution will create smaller, or more linear, creatures. So the iceberg collapsing makes more sense to me. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Could you do a deeper dive on "the people of the mount"? That subject was very interesting last video
^^^
there isn’t a lot of information about that :/
You can probably do it yourself, but given that
a. there seemed to be a craze in the late 19th about mysterious, ancient cultures
b. it is based on the concept of the missing continent of Limuria, a pseudoscientific idea at best proposed by a zoologist far far before understanding of how continents work
c. the 'people of the mount' is heavily based on a folktale which is from a book called 'weird california' or something of the like,
I can't even call it a conspiracy theory in the sense that there is some evidences or logic to it or that with suspension of disbelief it is tangible, it's more akin to a local folktale/folklore of modern American society integrating the already ingrained indigenous mythology about the mountain with a more 'Westernized' approach to it (Limurians, tall men, riches, etc., rather than a spirit of some animist God as it originally was).
Or you can call it 'conspiracy theory' in the sense it is believable if you're fond of Flat Earth and stuff of the sort...

I live in Denver and travel a lot, so I know my way around the airport. There was a recent plan to overhaul the main terminal, and construction began about 1.5-2 years ago. The barriers for the construction zones are littered in joking remarks toward the numerous conspiracy theories about the airport, and if you ask me, it's just a publicity stunt to draw more attraction to the airport.
It is a very strange airport though. For one it is absolutely huge. For another there’s a giant statue of a blue horse outside it.
As a physics nerd, just wanted to correct Wendigoon on Schrodinger's Cat
Wendigoon explains it as a theory when in reality it's just a thought experiment. In real life the outcome is determined even if it is never measured by conscious beings.
How would you proof that?
Also, the cat is a conscious being, so wouldn't the cat observe itself?
@@greywolf7577 It couldn't observe itself if it was dead though, right
@@matthiaswanner562 Because on the macroscopic level, objects dont behave q mechanical anymore. This has mainly to do with how everything at our macroscopic level can be easily observed without changing its state by any measurable amount. On the macroscopic, this is not the case.
The cat would be in a superposition state for the fraction of a fraction of a second at most, before the probability wave just collapses into one outcome.
I’ll I’m learning from this is that there is a thin line between philosophy and conspiracy theories
It seems like any philosophy conspiracy theorists learn is just treated like a piece to be absorbed into other theories, instead of an idea to question for its own merit. I once had someone tell me that the existence of writing about marxism and transhumanism is _evidence_ that the world is run by communist cyborgs. It doesn't surprise me that philosophies would just be thrown onto the iceberg next to alien stuff.
It is like a misunderstanding (finding info.) about communication (english /transelations.)

I’ve heard a great thing about quantum suicide when someone told me
“I like to think that when you die you swap to a different alternative dimension where you don’t, for example if you were to get shot, you would hear *clickclickclick* of the gun barrel clicking around but you wouldn’t actually get shot, you would, but you wouldn’t feel it because you’d flash quickly between universes where you did die until you get to one where you didn’t, that’s what people mean when they say their life flashed before their eyes”
I don’t necessarily believe it, but I think it’s a cool concept and it’s probably a good way to deal with death if you aren’t religious
The only issue I have with it is it assumes that all your other alternate “you’s” don’t have a consciousness or soul before you die
Making you the main “you”
I don’t really like that
Unless you believe that you just become the other you
As in you’d just become them and have all their thoughts and beliefs without REALISING that you’ve become another person
WHICH, could be a good explanation for the mandala effect and why little things change out of no where
I think it’s a cool thought
The Man in the High Castle (a tv show based on a novel) did something similar, it had alternative universes and you could cross over to a different universe but only when the "other you" died. It's a great show, unfortunately it ended too quickly because it was cancelled.
I have a friend who technically died in a car crash and then hitting the steering wheel kickstarted their heart again and they are sorta convinced they dimension hopped. Before the crash they were super into science and math, and after the crash all of the sudden they could draw so they majored in art
I've felt this on acid
I’ve pictured the exact same thing so many times
Wendigoon saying he’s near a thousand subs makes me so happy bc he’s my fave youtuber and he’s over million now. so glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves but super nice to see him getting excited about a milestone like this :)

Roko's Basilisk really has nothing to do with time travel and is in fact much much worse. What made as popular as it was is the fact that in it's original form you could conceivably classify it as a cognitohazard. In the original post the Basilisk as it's called decided that humans are bad or whatever and wants to torture them for all eternity but at the same time wants to spare those who helped with its creation. To do this and since it's so powerful and intelligent it decides to create a simulation that is or is nearly perfectly accurate to reality and run through it so it can model what people helped with it's creation or not.
What makes it so insidious is it posits that we have no idea if we're the models being run on the simulation or not since it would be indistinguishable from reality, Roko then goes onto state that because of this uncertainty it would be better if we went along with this plan to actually go ahead and bring the Basilisk into existence as a way to keep yourself from being tortured for eternity. This is why it's called a Basilisk, which is a mythological creature that can kill with a glance, it's an idea that once introduced to a person could cause that person to be manipulated by an entity from the future, that doesn't exist yet and might not exist at all. But the idea could cause the reality to happen regardless out of a fear of the consequences of doing nothing. In essence it acts like basilisk, once it has you in it's sights your fate is sealed.
You're a goat for clearing that up
So essentially, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe some future AI is going to punish you unless you actively work to bring it into creation, you're going to bring it into creation and in the process create the problem you're trying to avoid in the first place.
@@amandas2639 very much so. As terrifying as it is however, i think we can all agree here that it would be very interesting to witness it even if it meant we'd all be dead or tortured for eternity
Didn't the original story posit that the Basilisk is tasked by it's creator with optimising human civilisation? That would be reason enough to start acting to prevent the Basilisk's creation. In the case of only-torturing Basilisk equally so.
It always bothered me how everyone is just going with the flow of the logic in the story. It's equally reasonable to decide to act against it and work to prevent it's creation as to help it. Everybody I've seen talk about it is just set into "if it's true, we would have to help". If you didn't start a Basilisk-cult the moment you first heard of the story, you might as well be judged guilty by the Basilisk IF it ever arrives.
I kinda hate the story because how flawed it's reasoning is an because how everyone I've seen fails to notice it.

Would you tell others about this big bad for your survival? (because you can't do this alone), would you keep it as a secret to spare the lives of others?
There is possibility that it becomes real despite your efforts to not tell others about it.
That's it basically, there's even a joke. The Christian got to the new land and said to the native, "this is my God, he is almighty and benevolent, to those who believe in him. To those who know of his word, and don't follow it are going to die a painful death and suffer for eternity." and the native in response, "Then why did you tell me? "
That's interesting. Is kind of "ignorance is bliss" for some specific information or I'm making it too simple? I gonna look it.
@@SakuraNight Its essentially just an example of an “infohazard” in which the knowing of information in and of itself is dangerous.
@Fahd The King Ehhh, it only really comes across as edgy because it's called a basilisk, but it's called as such because the premise is basically "behold this thing and it hurts you", like how looking at a basilisk turns one to stone.
The thought process is fine and it has been done already in multiple instances across history, but the example as itself is stupid beyond measure. I mean have you not seen what happens to the super villain sidekicks in every movie?
@Fahd The King the entire concept is really dumb and requires a hundred leaps in logic to try and force a thought experiment that doesn’t work
You have a lot of courage. I would never google that shit. Among all this trolling, there is legit creepy stuff.

the quantum suicide and immortality was super cool to me bc i studied philosophy at uni and the idea is basically like the sorites paradox but i hadn't thought of it in those terms before. super cool video and series!!
Pretty cool you shouting out thanks to 1,000 subs and I look down to see your currently at 1 million. What a good year can do! You deserve it!
As someone who majored in Physics in college and saw lots of professors atempt to explain quantum physics and fail miserably, you instantly are a hero xD
@Quick Thinking :D
If they failed miserably, how did you learn it? Pretty bold to assume you have a better understanding of quantum physics than "lots of professors".
Half of these topics are creepy af, but the music and the commentary make it like a nice conversation
One part of the Conspiracy Theory iceberg is literally that the weapons the Germans worked on IRL that were later implemented into the video game Call of Duty are still being worked on IRL today. That’s funny.

Schrodinger's Cat is in a state of superposition because the 50% chance is derived directly from the random decay of a radioactive isotope (a quantum-mechanical process). The cat would live if it doesn't decay, dies if it does, via a mechanism that detects the decay and releases poisonous gas etc into the box. That's why we assume both states until the cat is observed, as opposed to other everyday things that have a definite outcome when not being observed.
Yes
1000 subs...man I'm so happy for you bro I could tell that sincerely meant alot to you...look at you now tons more and a channel I always look forward to uploading
The fact that the horse statue outside the Denver International Airport killed a man and people call it Bluecifer made me laugh out loud ngl. It’s morbid but it’s hilarious talk about bleeding for your art like damn.
it killed the guy that made it too
I wanted to mention that "Schrodinger's Cat" was originally meant to make the emerging idea of the uncertainty principle seem absurd. Over the years it has been used as a way to show people just how interesting the uncertainty principle's implications are, as we now know it to be correct.
*superposition of states - uncertainty principles are a mathematical inequality that come out of the algebra when you try to operate on a quantum state with operators that dont commute - most famously position and momentum. The uncertaintly principle is mathematical fact, the superposition of states is the thing that shrodinger was trying to show must have a breaking point (or some logical flaw) by coming up with a situation where the cat must be thought of as in a superposition of both dead and alive states, which clearly can't be a physical possibility
@@hughperryman6556
That’s right. Thank you for the correction.
Thank you. I was about to comment the same thing.
It was never meant to be taken seriously, and was truly intended to shed light upon the stupidity of the concept.
@@hughperryman6556 It seems to me that the uncertainty principle might only apply at current technology. It says we can't know the speed and position of a particle at the same time because measuring one changes the other. But maybe that's just because our technology is too intrusive. Perhaps in the future a method will be developed to measure the speed and position of particles without changing either.
@@greywolf7577 it's an interesting speculation. However there is an awful lot of fundamental quantum physics that leads to the inequalities known as the uncertainty principle. Aspects that would have to be side stepped such as the spatial confinement of the wavefunction, which is equivalent to determining the position. If this happens then mathematically the uncertainty principle will hold up.
So my point is if you could determine the position of a particle without confining the spatial wavefunction then that is a way in which your speculation could be correct. However it's a bit of a basic way of thinking about this topic so at this point I'd have to defer to someone else
When you said I’m thankful for 1000 followers, I spit out my drink. You’re over 1,000,000 now. Congrats!
Old video I know, I’m rewatching this series but I think Spirit Science at 19:12 actually refers to UA-camr, former Newgrounds animator, cult larper, and living meme Jordan D. and his crackpot theories on his UA-cam channel Spirit Science ranging from topics such as the pyramids being built from the top down, humanity gaining knowledge from a 15ft Egyptian pharaoh, etc.
I'm from Colorado and I've gotta say, I love Bluecifer. And they're currently doing renovations and stuff and the temporary walls to section off the construction have things like "construction? or government cover-up?" on them and it's very good

“Almost 1000 subscribers” is so heartwarming to hear since he’s at like 3.7 million now….
The way I had quantum suicide explained is that every time you die your consciousness is transferred to a universe where you didn't die and this keeps going indefinitely. That's quantum immortality. The suicide comes in if you follow the chain of events backwards up to birth, where in one universe you are born and in the other you aren't born and thus that is the suicide universe where you never existed.
I’m afraid of being alive but I’m more terrified of being unalive 👁👄👁
Actually I don’t think that’s how it works because imo these alternative universe/parallel universe they all exist in quantum space which is inside our universe but it doesn’t affect people it only affects the universe
It Doesn’t matter that you could only do half, Take your time man
The Denver Airport is weird. They have workers just strolling around to guide you where you need to go. I asked an employee last time I was there (back in November) and she said “we don’t talk about it” and she just walked away.
You prolly just got trolled
It’s definitely creepy, and there’s most certainly deeper meanings to all the murals. Sadly enough the employees are probably as clueless as we are when it comes to figuring out what it all means
ive been twice, and i was SO lost. thank god my boyfriend at the time regularly went to that airport when he lived there. the airport is so weird and freaky
I just started watching your channel yesterday and I'm seeing you say "near a thousand subscribers." while I'm watching you're at 780k. Congrats on an unreal 2021 brother
i think it's kind of fascinating that quite a few of these conspiracy theories seem to be more thought experiment more than anything else. and with thought experiments, it's not so much about being right, but the possibility, what potential that thought experiment has and its implications. also wendigoon has 1 million subscribers now and it's kind of mindboggling that not even 2 years ago, he was only at 1k. I watched his video break down on monument mythos and I was so hooked (i knew absolutely nothing about monument mythos, i didn't even realize that it was an analog horror series until after a few minutes into the video) - it was made all the better by the fact that that video is 3 hours long and just the kind of rabbit hole full my brain loves. really proud of wendigoon!
Idk if anyone cares but the Cagots using different "fonts" isn't about handwriting - they had to use different holy water fonts (aka fountains) when they went to church, and the Cagot man had his hand cut off for using the normal fountain. So it was a form of religious persecution.
(Found this from wikipedia)
Could they possibly be like the alien children from the old story?
Thank you. I was over here trying to find the font they wrote in.
I wonder why he said that children thought the Cagots were writing in the "devil's handwriting," because I can find no mention of it anywhere.

As someone who had to fly using the Denver airport, it sure feels like the gateway to hell
It’s got a lot of stuff in it, idk i think it would be easy to get lost. Maybe it’s an entrance to the back rooms 👀. Idk I don’t really believe in the back rooms but some do.
I find all airports like hell
Haha..Denver native here. It's better than most airports. And I've flown out of DIA, slept there due to weird AM flights, wandered a ton in there waiting when most shops were closed.
