And why would he turn the radio off? It's as if he's acting like Jake, but actually a parasite waiting to get back to civilisation via the rescuers... So, where IS the parasite?
I think he turned the radio off because he thinks he might be infected, and doesn't want to spread the parasite to the rest of humanity. How would turning off the radio help him be rescued?
Capricorn I feel like he did it for the opposite reason. I think Jake doesn't want to be apart of the parasite we call humanity. So he has decided to keep to himself. But I digress
you should be, the government is completely incompetent and has sold out to the highest foreign bidder while neglecting the needs of its water supply for the masses. (If you live in America)
@@tenpoundsterlingtn7756 Lmao no, we have water distribution centers. And the water from those places are actually cleaner than bottled water. Extra minerals in water aint gonna kill you lol.
It's fascinating because if I hadn't watched this, I may never have learnt that. I may never have learnt about these different parasites that do scary (and albeit interesting) things.
My thoughts on the ending 1. Jake refuses to be helped by the rescue team because he knows that he's already infected thus his sacrifice himself for the hunanity Or 2. It's the parasite itself refusing the rescue team to help him so it can reprodce by itself before they can teminate it
Hmm but then what about it transmitting its in a cold area Jake doesn't seem to have food or water unless the house he found just so happened to have a stockpile and its winter so not many animals or bugs are out due to the harsh conditions
It’s cold, but there are clearly lots of deciduous trees in the video. There will be a melt by Spring, if the parasite (or its lifecycle’s eggs or whatever) can survive the season. And carrion scavengers of some sort seem pretty likely, even in winter (crows, wolves, coyotes, feral dogs, if in North America.)
Yes those are parasites. Parasites who enjoys getting unemployment benefit without doing any work or very least decline job offerings and living with taxpayer's money. You can also be parasite by thinking that it is justifiable to steal from rich people simply because they are more wealthier. These type of parasites you mostly met on Left-wing groups. Socialism is based on riding other people's fortune. It is morally & financially wrong.
Eric did an amazing job on the cinematography, Jay did a phenomenal job on the sound design and Jake, you did absolutely wonderfully with the writing, editing, direction and acting! I was pulled into the topic and the video was extremely enticing! Awesome job guys :)
seriously! every time I see what's in water, I crave diet soda for days. icy cold, it feels cleaner than water, perhaps it's the fizz. wait, what if yucky water thingies are being developed and dispersed by the soda companies to ensure our dependency? 😳
@Spirit Encounters ITC, nah nah, you gotta earn that by not asking people for subs. I'm not telling you that you can't,but nobody wants to see comments like yours and would actually check it,best thing you can do is to pay Google to put your videos as ads,but you need to make a very short compilation first(1-2mins) and pay them like 20 bucks,works great most of the time. I'm gonna check you though :P
I love all the allusions to John Carpenter's _the Thing_ ! The theme at the beginning, the reference to Outpost 31, the parasite that imitates humans to survive, and especially the awesome recreation of the burning logo at the end!!
ya I watch the thing before watch this so i did not get the references but coming back to this vid made me love it! because John carpenters the thing is one of my favorite movies
Your videos are always so artsy and I love it! Great job as always! I love the cinematography and editing that goes into these videos. Also in my opinion if I am controlled by a parasite, then that means that I am a parasite, and if I am a parasite nothing changes. I am still me only what I thought I was is different, who I am is still the same.
mrcomp you're all a bunch of snowflakes. If that keeps you up at night I hate to think how you'd react to an actual disaster or seeing death in person. You'll scar yourself for life just because you've lived so long scared of such little things as a photoshopped picture... I'm being salty and I know it won't actually keep you guys up at night. At least I hope not lol.
I mean Michael is so concerned about his youtube red show there is a serious lacking in his main content. I’m glad jake is here to take the commander seat imo
+Ryan Kettlewell No, that wasn't the ending. He said that a parasite could be controlling your actions, and exemplified several animals that had their minds under manipulation by a parasite, later driving themselves to suicide in convenient ways for the parasite's reproduction. Jake also "willingly accepted death" because he was under control of a parasite, the one he described throughout the video. Of course, he wouldn't know that, because the parasite assumes the host's brain.
As i see it both interpretations are correct. Maybe he doesn't have the parasite, but fearing that he has one he choses to die by himself or maybe he has the parasite and he is not in control anymore. But the point is you can never know for sure which one is true and that is the most terrifying.
dont be that parasite he mentioned is all but cured off the face of our planet.... just don't go drinking stagnated water in some 3rd world country and by good odds your gravy.. now getting bit by a topical parasite like the mosquito be somewhat afraid mate... and if you ever get bit by a fly in africa be very afraid...
Sometimes I feel (mentally)like something(not me) is stopping me from doing things. Then I tell myself that its just me because who or what else will it be. But now after watching this video I'm on another level of paranoia.😅
If I'm thinking then I must be the parasite controlling the host Human. But I am very sure that I am the human but thats what a parasite controlling a human would say.
Maybe human intelligence happened because an intelligent parasite took over humans thousands of years ago and our consciousness is that of the parasite controlling a human vehicle? and without us parasites humans would still resemble neanderthals or be extinct?
Nafi N Could be that were a parasite caused by extraterrestrial beings, which would explain why we took so long to make fire, considering Earth may be the only place in the galaxy where it burns, and thus the aliens took a while.
Tom Hogan That's also possible. I've got a pretty farfetched theory, but hear me out: How does he know the parasite can't survive in the cold? What if the parasite wants him to go there and die so it can eat him and reproduce? I'm not sure what the rescue team is and how much control the parasite has. Jake might want to shelter himself from civilization so that the virus can't spread or the virus wants us as it's new host. Jake doesn't seem very good and when the parasite has taken us over it will call the rescue team, if they aren't already involved and infected and are trying to infect the last of us, and then return to civilization and infect everyone. We don't know how far the virus has spread and what it can do.
it got me thinking the fact he turns off the radio and denying any attempt of rescue is actually a sign that he isn't the parasite/(the thing) since the parasite would want to spread to as many people as possible and would want to be "rescued" so it can infect others lol
@@bigman489 You don't understand the intricacies of this joke, in the literal sense yes it is career. But this joke was taken further by saying carreer, in the context of parasites it was molded from carrier as well. Which life can be, living things can become carriers of parasites. This was a very whoosh moment on your part.
Damn, you didn't give your coordinates at the end because you didn't want to go back to civilization and possibly spread the parasite you may or may not have.
Keanu Ashbee The parasite would've wanted to spread. The characer that Jake plays was worried that if he did go, then he could have the parasite and could spread it. The only way to of been sure was to not go
KamboKelvin If he were to be infected, he wouldn’t have turned down the rescue because the parasite would want to infect more hosts. He turned down the rescue because he wouldn’t want to expose the rest of people to the parasite and he doubted that he was himself. Although by being able to turn it down it means he probably isn’t infected
This video is as good and awesome as the "Could You Survive a Fallout?" Episode. But a lot more Philosophical. P.S. Love that you have a "hey,that's pretty good!" T-Shirt at the end of the vid lol.
I KNOW WHY HE MUTED THE DISTRESS SIGNAL RESPONSE- He thought he had the parasite, so he did not want to spread it to others, so he hides in the cold until he or it dies.
• Lattla • that's a really good theory. Though I don't think it sounds human to let yourself die because of the idea that you MIGHT have a parasite, much less do so with such ease despite claiming in the beginning that it is dead.
Jake, you fill the everlasting void of 80's synth music living inside my soul ever since I first saw Blade Runner. Kind of like a parasite... Huh... Btw, I would be super happy if you could give me like a list of your favorite Synth Artists or tracks. Thanks man, keep at it.
It doesn't, really. It takes a detour. The topic is the same, just a different approach. Instead of a biological one, a philosophical one. All Vsauce videos seem to go off the rails and that's a conscious choice. Michael has said that it keeps people's attentions, because you go from one topic to another quickly. After all, if Michael or Jake answered a single question during the video, it would be 3 minutes long.
Magus Apex Quality> Quantity. You dont get that type of feel after watching KSI or Pewdiepie that you get after watching Vsauce, and thats all that matters.
8:00 sounds like something a parasite would say
*AAAAAAAAAAAA*
And why would he turn the radio off? It's as if he's acting like Jake, but actually a parasite waiting to get back to civilisation via the rescuers... So, where IS the parasite?
I think he turned the radio off because he thinks he might be infected, and doesn't want to spread the parasite to the rest of humanity. How would turning off the radio help him be rescued?

Cutting off the radio, the only chance for his rescue. Simply because he couldn't trust himself anymore. My god.
Yeah, right?
Could that be a delusion
The Thing (1982) is the basis for it. It's a great movie and it's cool to see a parody of it.
I think the the reason he turned off the radio is because the parasite took over his mind and he doesn't know what he's doing
I think both endings can be interpreted
Or they're both true.

He'd make a much better director or writer imo.
doctor jake
I thought it said tractor
I should've gone to sleep
Its 1:30 am ist and I'm thinking the same.
Yee
My thoughts on the ending
1. Jake refuses to be helped by the rescue team because he knows that he's already infected thus his sacrifice himself for the hunanity
Or
2. It's the parasite itself refusing the rescue team to help him so it can reprodce by itself before they can teminate it
this is scout rainbows makes me wet I think it's number 2
Hmm but then what about it transmitting its in a cold area Jake doesn't seem to have food or water unless the house he found just so happened to have a stockpile and its winter so not many animals or bugs are out due to the harsh conditions
O o f
Or maybe the "rescue team" itself was infected and wants to find Jake, who's the last uninfected person?
It’s cold, but there are clearly lots of deciduous trees in the video. There will be a melt by Spring, if the parasite (or its lifecycle’s eggs or whatever) can survive the season. And carrion scavengers of some sort seem pretty likely, even in winter (crows, wolves, coyotes, feral dogs, if in North America.)

If we are already a parasite to the earth then is it possible for a parasite to infect another parasite

But that means the person you're leeching off of was killed or is being hijacked by "you" as a parasite. That changes things doesn't it?

As i see it both interpretations are correct.

Is nobody going to talk about the sequence at the end? Honestly, it took a moment before realizing why he muted the rescue team... Wow Jake.
WaffleSaber I'm guessing he thought he had the parasite and was gonna let himself die in cold weather so it wouldn't get to other humans
I'm a bit confused, care to explain?
if he was able to exercise free will by doing that, doesnt that mean that he WASNT infected??
I interpreted it as him thinking that the parasite may be impersonating the rescue team in order to find his location
Tom Hogan That's also possible.
I've got a pretty farfetched theory, but hear me out: How does he know the parasite can't survive in the cold? What if the parasite wants him to go there and die so it can eat him and reproduce? I'm not sure what the rescue team is and how much control the parasite has. Jake might want to shelter himself from civilization so that the virus can't spread or the virus wants us as it's new host. Jake doesn't seem very good and when the parasite has taken us over it will call the rescue team, if they aren't already involved and infected and are trying to infect the last of us, and then return to civilization and infect everyone.
We don't know how far the virus has spread and what it can do.

I think the point was to imply that he was infected and that the parasite made the decision not to get rescued.
Keanu Ashbee but if he was infected the parasite would choose go to the civilization to reproduce
Or maybe he knew he was infected and decided not to get rescued so that everyone else survives.
Funni Boi yes it can be that too
Keanu Ashbee The parasite would've wanted to spread. The characer that Jake plays was worried that if he did go, then he could have the parasite and could spread it. The only way to of been sure was to not go
The ending with him refusing help is a bit unsettling or should I say controlled
KamboKelvin The reason why he sabotages his rescue is that he doesn't know if he is infected with a parasite
General x Productions which is how a smart parasite would make him feel
Wolfdog W A parasite needs to spread. Making him die of cold in middle of no where doesn’t help the case at all
AlphaMineron maybe hes thinks he should stay alone and die and “watch the fire die” instead of there being a risk of him spreading the parasite
KamboKelvin If he were to be infected, he wouldn’t have turned down the rescue because the parasite would want to infect more hosts. He turned down the rescue because he wouldn’t want to expose the rest of people to the parasite and he doubted that he was himself. Although by being able to turn it down it means he probably isn’t infected
Hey Jake...
You're doing a great job keep it up.
Mango Jam .
This video is as good and awesome as the "Could You Survive a Fallout?" Episode. But a lot more Philosophical.
P.S. Love that you have a "hey,that's pretty good!" T-Shirt at the end of the vid lol.
hideNxd oh know this one and that one are my favorites
But at the same time the could u live forever video was really good too
I'm itching so much now.
Same
Even on your foot?
Damn jake these videos are always really good and I appreciate you making them. I always look forward to them. Keep up the great work.
Wow, that was a good video. Excellent cinematography as always. Keep up the good work.
"See that, that's not dog... It's immitation."
Hubert Cumberdale Grammar is mistaken.
salad fingers
Nyee
It’s not a dog! It’s some sort of thing!
I KNOW WHY HE MUTED THE DISTRESS SIGNAL RESPONSE- He thought he had the parasite, so he did not want to spread it to others, so he hides in the cold until he or it dies.
thank you captain obvious
That's one theory, the other is that the parasite is making him act this way so that he dies and the parasite finds a new host.
yea thats likely too
He didn’t let them pick him up, because he knew that if a parasite was controlling him...
that would spread the parasite.
• Lattla • that's a really good theory. Though I don't think it sounds human to let yourself die because of the idea that you MIGHT have a parasite, much less do so with such ease despite claiming in the beginning that it is dead.
Well that’s a parody for you
Jake, you fill the everlasting void of 80's synth music living inside my soul ever since I first saw Blade Runner. Kind of like a parasite... Huh...
Btw, I would be super happy if you could give me like a list of your favorite Synth Artists or tracks. Thanks man, keep at it.
You're right. We need them :D
I’m scared of using a brain cell to breathe
3:23 Uh yeah how about no
ive never been this disturbed in my life
For real!!
Bro same
Yo man same
Weak
I’m watching with my cat and this made me shiver when I heard the 50% of people parasite
I don't know if I am but I know Ajit Pai is
This is what I expected from CYSTM. No quirky cameos, no cheesy dialogue, just science and great cinematography.
according to my mother, yes i am.
Oof
Could it be? A 21:9 upload?
Greatest day ever.
Shmozone I feel ya man
The first video where my ultrawide phone display makes sense
Shmozone ikr, makes my iphone x screen actually feel useful
#UltrawideMasterRace
I know i love it its beautiful
Ive never used this as it meant, but this video made my skin crawl. Amazing stuff as always jake!
Electricwater378 same watching all those parasites and bugs just made me so uncomfortable and made my skin crawl all over the place
Nice "The Thing" homage. One of my favorite movies being used to talk about parasites was awesome.
Can a parasite create dank memes?!
If so then they're not so bad then
Are dank memes parasites of the Internet?
If a dank meme is created the creator and the meme is a parasite......
Can a parasite spawnkill a full team, if so they arent that bad
Jäger damn mind blown
Jigøku Shøjø you realize what "meme" means right? "Memetic" to effect the concousness without you knowing it, it is a viral stimilus.
you are a king of videomaking
Jan Dessila He worked for commercials before, but wasn't statisfied with it
Not good to watch after the Parasite anime.
Haha
Funny
lol
hi chris
Hi Chris
Why am I watching this..? Parasites are my biggest fear. Wtf is wrong with me? Oh, right, I love Vsauce.
Timpin D. It's not you.. Something has took over your brain.. Lol
Brb cleaning my room
UPnP did u die
U here
ARE YOU OKAYY????? CALL 911
I love the short stories that every video is telling.
Rewatching this banger... Man, these videos were way ahead of its time
8:05 aaaaaand the video officially goes off the rails at this point.
It doesn't, really. It takes a detour. The topic is the same, just a different approach. Instead of a biological one, a philosophical one.
All Vsauce videos seem to go off the rails and that's a conscious choice. Michael has said that it keeps people's attentions, because you go from one topic to another quickly. After all, if Michael or Jake answered a single question during the video, it would be 3 minutes long.
Why does all VSauce channels uploads quality contents?
Magus Apex no ketchup
Don’t jinx it
Magus Apex Quality> Quantity. You dont get that type of feel after watching KSI or Pewdiepie that you get after watching Vsauce, and thats all that matters.
-points to VSauce 2- except for that one
