      Id say its more a 'welcome to chaos'
      Its a song he's repeated for decades on end, to every new traveller, individually by the millions. In doing so, and seeing what they ask for, he's lost his mind, his original ethos corrupted and warped by humanity. Of course, he's not fully lost, at the end he regains composure, only to once again lose it, but it demonstrates that there is some degree of sanity left.

    To top it off with “And if we stick together, who knows what we’ll do. It was always the plan. To put the world in your hand.” Then followed by the worlds most evil sounding laughter ever, then switches into fast paced “Could I internist you in everything, all of the time, apathy is a tragedy and boredom is a crime” shows that the lack of care the world has for a single person, YOU. and that the “world in your hand” isn’t always the best thing. You see for how truly terrible and evil people can be and that if the internet connects the world together, then the internet would be the worst place from the start because of that. Bo then covers it in the beginning with a wholesome sounding song, but cracks in the paradise of the internet start to show, and in the end, it all is let loose. The evil of humanity can never be hidden, especially on the internet, no matter what you do.

    • @SimplyDuker
      @SimplyDuker 2 дні тому

      Well, on a "brighter" side, the evil side of humanity is now easier to be exposed, and people are getting more educated than before (or severely intellectually devolved, there's no in-between) unlike in the past where the common people were mostly kept in the dark. So, the internet itself isn't bad, and the effects it has on people vary wildly.

      @doncreech 3 роки тому +547

      Exactly. I'm not even entirely sure Bo knew what he had here, because this project clearly weighed on him organically throughout its production, but I'll be damned if there aren't so many subtle nuances in its craft that make it stand head and shoulders above any 'comedy special' in years, if not decades. In fact it's almost insulting to call it a comedy special. This is a feature length, one man virtuoso film that deserves every single award that's coming its way. I always thought Burnham was a smart and snappy performer, but this is visceral stuff that hits hard. I question if some will turn it off before the first 30 minutes or so are up not understanding where this thing is going, but all those people are missing the fuck out on what is right now the best film of the year.

    As an educator for 30 years, mostly at the high school level but at elementary and middle school the last 2 years..... People really need to think how this internet world is impacting these little tikes AND their parents.
    I wasnt allowed to watch the 3 stooges as a kid because my mom was afraid i would imitate their physical slap stick thinking it was real. Think what these kids are being exposed to 24/7 if they want and if not them, their parents. These kids have grown up knowing about every school shooting, every war is at their disposal and every conspiracy theory.
    We have to rethink how we teach our children and work with their parents. These kids are being exposed to every horrific event in the world or the people raising them have.

    The fact that the line at 1:39 "Could I interest you in everything all of them time? A little bit of everything all of the time? Apathy is a tradegy and boredom is a crime. Anything and everything all of the time." Just works with the topic of Internet it has everything you could toggle all of the time that's a little bit of everything all of the time. If you are ever mean on social media you'll be in deep trouble, and you just get glued to the screen so being bored is unintentionally a crime. This line is such a banger I love the notes that accompany it as well. I think a variation of this line appeared in Goodbye too.
