The point isn't to induce existentialism, it's to argue that we don't need to fear these things - accepting that we are well acquainted with them, we can find comfort in knowing our experiences are as real as we feel they are.
Lesson of the story : Don't let the person continue speaking if he start wit "This is probably the simplest question of the night"

This is probably the simplest question of the night...
@SwishWrap. Basically reincarnation in a different life... honestly I'm not buying. I don't believe in reincarnation but I do believe in multiverses where there are an infinite amount of possibilities playing out, things that is happening and not happening.

The accurate term is rebirth, not reincarnation. Even though the term reincarnation is fine

You have never truly known yourself until you wake up from a dream in a dream. There are levels to this, no joke
True, this is so insane.
Ever had full anesthesia before surgery? it's basically a simulation of death, it doesn't feel like sleeping, you don't fall asleep, you don't dream it's more like one moment you're here and suddenly you're gone, completely disconnected, complete oblivion without any awareness. when I "woke up" 5 minutes could have passed or maybe 5 hours or maybe 5 years and I'd have no clue
@@danny3640 When you're asleep, you're not necessarily always dreaming. It just feels like it. Because that's all you can recall when you finally wake up. That's why the hours might seem to go by quicker than if you were to stay awake for 24 hours.
So is this, right now, a dream? Are you a character I dream up?
@@danny3640 So is it still you that woke up after surgery, or the dude that got anesthetic is gone for good and new "person" is within your body with same memories? If it feels like it might be like that, where was the current you before the surgery? Can that be applied to falling asleep or to birth and death? :)

I call this video genre “recreational gaslighting.”
level 9000 strawmaning
That’s the most amazing thing my high a$$ has read in the entire internet.
I don’t know how to feel ab this comment
the audience of this channel is too smart for me to understand this comment🥲
@@38zae Because it’s a video that fucks with your perception of reality, and we watch it for fun. “Gaslighting” is when you use plausible deniability, illusions, and carefully crafted lies to make someone doubt their perception of the reality around them.
Hence, “recreational gaslighting.”
It's funny how much we think about the end, when in fact it's literally the only thing we have no control over.
I suggest you a "yet" at the end of your sentence. (:
The end is just the beginning of nothing... Nothingness isn't that bad, at least we won't have to worry about paying bills... The eternal peace. The same as before you were born,
I mean think about it honestly, what memories can you recall before you came out of your mother? Can you even recall specific memories at the age of 2? In my opinion Death is equivalent to time before life. You remember "nothing" because you were nothing. Death is also nothing. The eternal peace. Nothing.
We have no control. It is what it is. It doesn’t matter.
From someone who suffers severe health anxiety (constant fear of impending stroke or aneurysm, etc), I definitely spend an unhealthy amount of time thinking about ‘the end’. 😖 somebody help. Im actually rather young and very healthy and I still cant help myself.

The person sitting behind the screen was suprised by the abrupt ending of the video he had just watched. He tinks it's an interesting video and thinks about it for a couple of seconds. Then his eyes catch the thumbnail of another video in the recommended and clicks on it. Quickly forgetting about the video he just watched and going on with his life as he did before.

They do have self awareness, but most of them lack abstract thinking, especially as humans can do.

The screen cuts off abruptly as the camera pans out to a girl wearing her pyjamas on her bed, leaving her surprised. Having just woke up, she wondered whether she is actually in a world that's controling her too. "It doesn't matter" she thought. As she sat up on her bed to get the day started
She rushed downstairs, eager to get her day started. She walks into the kitchen, where her mother is cooking breakfast. "Hey mom wha-"
The TV Screen suddenly shuts off and the camera pans over to a 12 year old boy named James. "No! I didn't save!" He seems to calm down after a thought, a question seared into his consciousness. "Am I real?" He looks down at his Minecraft shirt, his hands, his feet, his sandals. He felt his face, and he could hear his beating heart and nervous system ringing in his ear. James's lack of knowledge on this particular question starts to anger him, as if he can feel his emotions get the best of him. He wanted a second opinion, so he quickly runs into his teenage brother's room. He opens the door, but was quickly horrified by what he saw. It looked like as If he was melting, surrounded by white and black pikels The sound of TV static fills the room loudly. His brother looked at James.

What
The video suddenly cuts out before Delar could answer the audience member's question. A college student in his town house accidentally clicked on another video in the sidebar on a rather popular video streaming site. He straightens his posture as if he's coming out of a daze and thinks about what he just watched. From the subway romance to the futuristic creation of conscious art, the Pursuit of Wonder in the student is temporarily satiated as his imagination soars on a small high. He wonders briefly whether he is in fact simulated with artificial thoughts and feelings.
This idea puts him on edge for a few seconds before he realizes that this was exactly the point of the video. He realizes that like Descartes most famous quote: "I think, therefore I am," a similar truth can be found "I feel, therefore I am real." As cliche as a rhyming proverb is, there is some meaning behind it. After all, if one can feel experiences that seem real to them, then does it matter if they aren't? A belief many scientists and philosophers alike hold is that: if you cannot tell the difference between two things, then they are effectively the same thing. As the young man cannot tell the difference between what he experiences and what he would imagine to be a simulated version of these experiences, he assumes they are interchangeable and it doesn't really matter either way.
Suddenly, the world goes dark, completely black as if all energy has suddenly been removed. There's a split second between the observation of everything around him disappearing from existence and the student's own erasure where he realizes how wrong his conclusion was and how-

Connor suddenly snaps back to reality. He wonders how long he’s been daydreaming for, and how behind schedule he is. “The Explorers Anchorage”. Connor wonders who came up with that name for the ship he’s in, and if they’re wondering if someone’s wondering about him. After doing some check ups and repairs, he thinks about that daydreaming again.
That college student. He wonders why it feels so real, like he’s lived that memory before. He wonders about the almost abstract like streaming service his mind spontaneously came up with. “UA-cam”.
Huh.
He wonders why... why? Why is he here for? To be more precise, does he have any memories before he got on this ship? Of course he actually does, he remembers how his father’s passion for science rubbed off on him. But are those memories actually rea-
This is cool and all but also complete and utter bullshit.
If your measurements of the universe imply that the universe is simulated, than your conclusions are self-contradictory.
Also, all of this assumes cause and effect, logical consistency, the idea that change exists, the idea the intellegence exists, the idea that we can percive things.
You fucks don't have any clue about radical skepticism. Simulation theory it literally philosophical garbage. It's a Fun toy that shouldn't be treated seriously becuase it doesn't fully commit too the ideas it proposes.

@SwishWrap. if you believe in reincarnation, then you believe in soul..
but soul means a higher world, why would that soul only experience one world? who put it this way? if a higher power made it this way, and since the world leans to being stable
and precise, then the higher power is good, it's better than allowing this soul to wash out its previous being to another same life, if anything, then it must experience the higher world

This may very well be my favorite! And I love this channel and the videos. This video can create so much anxiety because it requires one to be comfortable with things that humans are not typically comfortable with... uncertainty, insignificance, and ignorance. Our peace will come when we accept our discomfort as part of life. Our peace can also come when we focus on living, loving, creating & sharing our purpose. 💛☀️

@@ibtissamaboufares9320 awe thanks so much!!!
Reminds me of the quote “the observer is the observed”. It seems as if reality is mirrors within mirrors, dreams within dreams and illusions within illusions. As if ‘God’, (the unknowable observer) wishes to experience itself and does so by observing through the experiencer.
wow, that's so deep
That's one way of thinking. Very good quantumgirl or lady.
Which in turn reminds me of how Pantheism's _"There is nothing separate or distinct from God, for God is the universe"_ set's up a shadowy alternate meaning to that other old crumb of wisdom _"The Devil's in the details"_

Weird. Right after I rewatched Harry Potter, I get all these comments about it. Weird.
@SwishWrap. we all individually tip the scales one way or another. Stop investing energy into thought that poison your body and mind. The essence of thought beyond the conceptual interpretation guide the way, they decide the path. It doesn't understand the context, just the energy. Be careful with that energy you conjure
also why on earth would you think it dont mean anything...
And there is reality, within it a dream, within it a reality, within it a dream, within it again a dream and then grapes. And within it a real dream and a real reality and a dreaming dream.

I often have dreams in which I similarly fall madly in love with a seeming stranger. The plot falls to scrutiny when I wake up, but that pure unadulterated love, and that obscenely painful sense of loss lingers for some time into the morning. Still, I can’t help but live for those brief and psychedelic moments dancing on top of a skyscraper in the rain with the literal woman of my dreams.

I've had those dreams too! I dream very vividly too so waking up and feeling like you were just ripped from the greatest time of your life and then trying to get back to sleep to the dream... I've been able to do that a few times but it's always accidentally and not those dreams in which you describe. I used to write my craziest best and scary dreams down, think I might

"Dellor thinks. And answers: 'I am....'"
Decartes: "I think, therefore I am".
I see what you did there ;)
Caught that too.
Can you explain
@@naaberfindmoi2791 it's a play on the famous quote from the philosopher Decartes. "I think, therefore I am" basically means that the only thing you can be absolutely certain about is that there is 'something' (you can call that something 'you') thinking. So that means that you 'have' to exist because you can't deny the fact that you are thinking (because denying that fact would also require you to think).
And because the last words of the video were: "Dellor thinks. And answers: "I am..." " that means for Dellor's perspective he HAS to exist. Which is a nice philosophical twist to this already great video.
I hope this clears things up for you :)

So, when I see your work it is like me facing my fears. I have never been afraid to ask what if, so when I listen, you take me to these places where I feel like I am these people. From the rooted emotions of embracing a family member to the voided unknown of oblivion itself. Your work is powerful and so far you have helped me. I hope I can pay that forward.

"What happens after everything ends?" All of the stories got interrupted and we will never know what's the ending.
Now that you have made me consciously acknowledge this, I'm so fucking angry I don't know how some of these stories truly ended..
*REEE*
you wanna know what happens after everything ends?
nothing. Thats why the video gets cut short. Its just nothing full of nothing, the ending.
*WHY DID EVERYTHING START FALLING APART. WHY DID EVERYONE START FALLING APART.*
the point is that existence continues after death in one way or another, we are eternal but not as individuals.
I keep telling people what I learned when I was in my suicidal phase - "There's no point in killing yourself, because you're going to wake up in another body, and there will be doctors saying "that baseball must have hit them hard"."
I'm implying that life is so mysterious. If energy does transfer as so we are being taught then birth isn't what we think it is. It's not a beginning, and death isn't an end. And seeing as how much of life gets forgotten unless recorded, there's a lot of mystery behind the idea of now. Because there's no actual now. When you focus on what's happening you realize there's no passage of time. Things are just happening. Nothing segues from one moment to another. However, if you look at past, present, and future you see the frames of time. One moment connecting to another moment in a causation situation. There's seemingly a supertask required to get to something on the smallest level, yet things are still able to progress as if there isn't an infinite amount of things happening to have one frame of time move to the next frame of time.
If I step, all the atoms in me are vibrating and doing things required to have me complete my step. It's clearly an endless path on exploring inwards, and outwards. Yet somehow things are able to "move through time". Time is too illusionary, but seeing life as completely stationary is what? You got it, absurd. There's no such thing as absolutes, yet we can absolutely see the things in life. The black and white of life never ends, yet the understanding of the grey in life helps create balance and understanding. Thus... an ending.
Life is chaotic. Anything can be anything. Life is order. What we see are objective things being experienced subjectively. Absolutes don't exist, yet they do. Life is so annoying oh my goodness!! Like trying to figure it out is so annoying. But guess what? When you don't try things just fall into place and start making sense. It's literally like "believe your doubts". Life wild.
While I was reading this I was thinking "Bruh, what?" right up until the end. "Life wild" wrapped that up like a little ribbon with a tag telling you what's inside.
Hell, the comment itself is a perfect representation of life as you describe it, being both chaotic and yet orderly at the same time. This comment may have just blown my mind more than the video..
@@Proud_Knight Just some follow-up thoughts to how the video made me feel. I feel the video is "saying" the same thing I'm trying to say. Some people call it "the duality of life".
Love this
I iked this comment as much as the video 👌
Daaamn this makes so much sense
The reality is no one even knows what reality is, and what truly matters could be everything. Every thought, action, feeling or experience could be a contributing factor into what we believe to be reality. Or it could be that nothing matters at all. The best or worst part is that we may or may not ever find out which if either is true.
Whatever it turns out to be, I always enjoy the videos. Its nice to find something that actually encourages people to think.
This channel is incredible wow , time to binge lol
I had this weird as hell dream where I was on a mission to go to, I'm not sure if the center the universe or on the outside of the universe, and as me and my teammates were headed there I just remember that I think the universe was about to just end, not sure how we found out but all we knew was that we had to go to our destination. After an intense af running from the universe, facing some casualties along the way that cost the lives of many of my mates, I'm pretty sure I was alone at this point and i finally reached the destination. I was happy cause I wasn't gonna die and because this was what all this was about, getting here but then I quickly realized, what the hell is the point anymore, I'm at a white void that's just filled with nothing, nothing to see, nothing to hear, no one to talk to, just pure and absolute nothing. I started crying, incredibly cause now I just missed my family and I knew now that there is no possibility of going back cause the universe is dead, so I slept then woke up feeling so depressed so lonely so sad and just so much. Idk it was one of my most fucked up dreams solely because I ended up being completely alone and that feeling just sinking in slowly was just awful. Idk I just typed it out here cause I suddenly remembered it.
I’ve had something similar but reaching the void, I had calm. It was silence and stillness, a sense of peace. For once nothing mattered and the fact that nothing mattered didn’t even matter. For a moment my mind was quiet.
@@lordcavalier9688 wtf i have had same kinda of dreams maybe its our past live memorys
or maybe it's the what you approach your lives. Ive not had this dream-state-experience, but am observing that maybe you all have more or less attachments to real you live in, hence why the first commenter missed it when it was gone, while the you two may have found more peace within yourselves in the 'wake'-state-experience... 🤷♀️
just some 1 a.m. thoughts like the rest of everybody else here lol
Had a similar dream; where I'm on that modern space ship and we went to the edge/end of the universe. It started to fade out into a white void too. Maybe we were crew members.

I really love ur videos, to me it's morbidly uplifting? If thats one way to describe it, it gives me a wonderful perspective on life in such a way, within my framework of understanding life that is. I appreciate all you do truly🙏🏾. I've been feeling more centered as of late
I just love your videos. Thank you.
I had a dream where I did die. Basically it was like I was telepathically connected to all life. I could see the past, present, and future all at the same time. I wasn't on any drugs or anything. It was a random dream that was super vivid. Also it was like the void in space was intelligent.
It was a very weird yet interesting experience.
A month ago or so I dreamed the kind of the same. I died and then the universe presented itself and talked to me showing the begginins, the present and future, then it revealed me the "secret of... " sth(? Can't remember if "life's meaning" or so, but right after that I woke up :S
Seems like the 4th or 5th dimension world.

This is beautifully edited!!
This was perfect, and horrible, on so many levels. Time to spend the rest of the night contemplating about existence.
Nope, that wasn't the simplest question of the night.
that'd be 'where's the bathroom?'
@@xavidies778 ...or, can we go now?😝
@@xavidies778 They're 23rd century beings. At the very least they've probably got an implanted AR device that tells them that sort of thing.
It all comes down to the theory of relativity. All we can do is accept life on life´s terms and focus upon our art. Fulfillment is an art as well.
The editing on this channel is superb.
It doesn't matter because we will never know. The best thing to do is not worry about that and live every moment to the fullest!
No
Carpe me into those diems amirite?
But I like to worry about if reality is real or not. It's an escapist activity.
Truth. Why seek answers to questions that have no answers, thats definition of insanity.
@@TapDat52K you'll never know so it's pointless to worry about it
Was Delar in a virtual simulation too? And does the simulation ends when he was about to answer the question ?! I have to say this video did impress me. Please keep on making such videos, it does inspire me and definitely others to thick more than ordinary. Thankyou pursuit of wonder for giving us such a good time. You are truly different from others. : )
No, Delar was in a youtube video. A narrative created by another existentialist artist publishing in the channel "Pursuit of wonder"
@@Ricardoromero4444 my mind is blown right now
Pursuit of Wonder is Delar
Delar simulation got overloaded by his own curiosity and shut down as he doesn't know the answer for it and he died
similar to the endings of films "The Thirteenth Floor" and "Inception".
the storytelling here makes this all even better, flipping the idea that everything is a simulation is really sad and that we have no free will into “that’s okay actually, what matters is that we have experiences and consciousness”
also, please credit music or make music available. i really liked the music in this video but can’t find it anywhere~
This is absolute poetry. What a wild method to approach the topic. Excellent video.
There’s no good that comes from worrying about the end; what matters is this moment. Stay blessed everyone!
Does it matter if we are not real?
We are as real as we are ever going to be aware of.
@@gordonconlogue5686even if life is useless you can either enjoy the life you have and set plans and have a good life or just worry about this thing and live a sad life
God I love this Channel. Expressing philosophical questions through stories is just cool. 🤔
Atleast watch the whole video you freaking like beggar..
r/PursuitofWonder
I have watched this video and his others that's how I know that he uses stories to convey questions. 🤨?
@@4khdr810 does it exist?
As always, you made me talk to myself for a huge amount of time after the video. Thanks. Great vid
This is the question that ties my brain into knots. I tried a thought experiment once where I mentally went to the edge of the universe. I went to the object that is farthest away from the start of the big bang, then I kept going.
I wondered, does it go on forever? I mean it can't just "stop". If there were some type of wall or barrier, wouldn't something need to exist on the other side? I don't think I have the words to describe why the universe being infinite cannot happen either. The best I can do is to say that an obsever's position is meaningless in an infinite universe.
The same kinda applies for time. Time not having an end isn't so odd, but it having a beginning is. There would still be a "before" but it can't go backwards for infinity either. I think those are two things will never have a satisfacrory answer, at least not with the brains we have now.
Holy shit ive been thinking of this theory since i was a kid, first time I seen someone else think about or talk about this
Yoo same, i always thought about it, glad to see I am not the only one xD
Same 🤭
Yeah! It happens.
And then suddenly
[ Existence Ends ]

Me chilling in my room : ...
Pursuit of wonder : You like depression?
Why do you think of this as depressive? It is a truly uplifting story about focussing on what matters in life regardless of insecurities
😂
Love this sm and the ending is so beautiful. I thought it was gonna cut to the fact that all of their realities were made by you and cut to recording then it cut to black mid talking to questioning our reality
I love the subtle hint at the end of the existential onslaught that is this video at the quote "I think, therefore I am." and that was the closure I needed after all that.
If there is an afterlife then also what's the point of that? Like we could ask the same question to what's the point of spending eternity in an afterlife? Is there anything after that?
It's not an afterlife if it is one life in different forms.
@@Christopher-Lenz true true
@SwishWrap. So , whose the one crying inside us when we our 1-2 years old ?
@@Rosenikasha It's you, lacking an ego, living entirely in the moment.
@@Rosenikasha Arre Binod, tum yahan?
I get it. Delar is the person behind 'Pursuit of Wonder'. He projected his own beliefs onto Delar and Delar's Audience is us!
I had the same hunch.
Nonono, Delar is the character inside Pursuit of Wonders head, it cut out at the end because we're the audience of Delar
Trippy, right?
naah, Delar is a representation of Descartes. In fact, the video ends with "I am", in reference to the quote "I think, therefor I am"
@@jac.34 yeah this sounds better informed lol.
ray delar = rene descartes. he even has the mustache and the hair
I just wanted to say thanks for this amazing video
Ok a lot of people say that this account gives them existential crisists, but I always come to this account when I need a sort of comfort, this account helps me feel sane
we are in a simulation, in a simulation, in a simulation, in a onion jar, in shrek's swamp
Correct
“simulation artist” just imagine the day when people gather to experience an entire simulated relativity like an art exhibit or movie premiere.... wow
Right now video games are kinda underdeveloped types of simulations. don't you agree ?
Read Rant by Chuck Palahniuk. Boosting technology
Brilliant storytelling, very immersive!
I like the "I think therefore I am" reference in the last few words there. Clever.
