Okay I know this has been covered on youtube before but this idea is just so captivating. It sidesteps the idea of religion and makes a case for compassion without excluding anyone.
My best friend is dying from cancer on a hospital bed. He's 46 years old and will last a few hours. I just stumbled across this video and it makes me feel good knowing that I'm not the only one who thinks this way, plus the idea that we're all one, seen like this, is soothing. Thank you.
@@delonweird6500 no as the other guy said, i watched it as well from kurtzgesagt. its just the way he's telling the story. almost feels like he's depressed. guess its the tone he tries to set for the story. but its not your regular aperture video. atleast not for me
I missed this...I can't go a week without these, I even have to rewatch them sometimes, like I said before he teachers me nothing, something and everything all at once, I could spend hours binging all his videos on repeat on a daily if I could...his knowledge and the facts he brings up are so mind blowing 🤧♥️
i remember kurzgesagt making a video on this exact story, and damn this one had that same sense of realization as it did back then when i watched the original.
Andy Weir wrote a masterpiece short story. He also later penned ‘The Martian’ and his draft was rejected by every major publisher in the US. He took out a bank loan and published it himself and it quickly became a bestseller and was later adapted into a motion picture starring Matt Damon. That guy is a great author!

As an avid proponent of the “Simulation Hypothesis”, I’m super glad Aperture told “the Egg Theory” story. Many of the quantum mechanics weirdness we have observed, becomes… reasonable, if you adapt the views where our universe is a giant complex simulation. The only issue I like to raise is that, if we are in a simulation, it’s highly unlikely that this simulation is being run by “some teenager’s computer in a basement”. The simulation is more likely designed with a set of mathematical relationships (known to us as laws of physics, or physical constants), which governs how matters and forces interact. Atoms formed as a result. Then stars and planets, then living organisms, then consciousness and intelligence. Our best guess is there are about 10 to the 82nd power, atoms in our universe, each made of several subatomic particles, which each has its own quantum super position. Adding dark energy and dark matters, a simulation capable of simulating this many states of being, or this many number of calculations, would probably require energies of millions of stars’ fusion power combined, or the edge of black holes. A simulation of an entire universe is more likely the result of a collective effort by an entire intelligent species, or the artificial intelligence that evolved from that biological species.
You can vastly reduce the amount of computational power required by only rendering in detail that which is being observed. I agree with you that any being capable of creating a universe wouldn't bother placing every blade of grass, they'd just set up the rules and let it procedurally generate itself. Hell, maybe even the rules are generated and not preplanned, and the sets of rules that create something relatively stable just end up running longer than those that don't. The laws of our universe are almost infinitely fine tuned, not something you'd just write on the back of a napkin and expect it to work. But if you generated a near infinite number of rulesets, eventually you'd happen upon the one that our universe adheres to. Fun stuff to think about, I really enjoyed your comment.
Have you heard of Stephen Wolfram’s Physics Project? He’s taking the idea that our universe is ultimately computational and by applying a set of simple mathematical rules a fundamental theory of everything can be derived. From his latest update: “It seems as if we’ve successfully found a structure for the “machine code” of the universe-the lowest-level processes from which all the richness of physics and everything else emerges. It certainly wasn’t obvious that any such “machine code” would exist. But I think we can now be confident that it does, and that in a sense our universe is fundamentally computational all the way down. But even though the foundations are different, the remarkable thing is that what emerges aligns with important mathematical structures we already know, enhancing and generalizing them. From four decades of exploring the computational universe of possible programs, my most fundamental takeaway has been that even simple programs can produce immensely complex behavior, and that this behavior is usually computationally irreducible, in the sense that it can’t be predicted by anything much less than just running the explicit computation that produced it. And at the level of the machine code our models very much suggest that our universe will be full of such computational irreducibility.” Maybe this “simulation” isn’t some resource intensive rendering, but rather a result of the emergent complexity of interactions of simple cellular automata-like rules i.e. the result of an abstract rule running a program operating on a network connecting all the atoms of space.

@@paiki....philosophyasiknow5153 Existentialism isn't comfortable with most people. Or at least it's not fun to talk about. Most people are grounded in mundane surface level affairs. It's not their fault. The happiest people I know never think about this stuff. I imagine it must be nice, to take this existence at face value and just sleep well at night. In some ways, those people, through their lack of curiosity and inquisitiveness regarding questions that will likely never be answered, are wiser than us. They seem happy and satisfied with the world as is. Those of us who obsess about the nature of reality often lose our minds and our ability to be content with what is right in front of us. It's a pandora's box. There is no satisfaction in it. In a lot of ways it's masturbatory. And yet here we are, tortured by our curiosity, to our own detriment.
This story both inspires me and horrifies me. It makes me feel empty and yet extremely full. I miss my mom when hearing this story- not your mom - mine. But then what does that really mean? That's what scares me. I think of her as an extension of myself, or vice versa. But as the same person? That freaks me out. I just simply understand that I dont understand anything.
I just realized something exetential from this exetential video: This video/theory suggests that I am every person that has been, is, or will be, including the thousands and thousands that have watched and commented on this video. But, this video also says that I won't remember any of my previous lives after I get reincarnated into the next one, which is why I don't remember seeing this video before or commenting on it until now, but clearly I have or will do so. However, if that is the case, and I am supposed to live as everyone at some point but I am only aware of my current life right now, does that mean that I am the last incarnation left to live/I have already lived as everyone else in existence, and once I die I become a god and I create a new universe and a single being that lives billions of times as a different life just as was done before me? What do you guys (or, in this case, myself) think about this idea?
No, it does not necessarily mean that this is your last, because don't forget that the concept of "Time" does not apply here; there is no first and last life, there is only the "current" life. If we are to take this theory seriously, your "next" life might be in 160 AD or 200 BC, and, again, you might never even come across such an idea or think of such a thought.

Hinduism and the concept of Karma and reincarnation that comes from Hinduism it is much more complex than what you explained but I like your honest effort, especially about being everyone and one. That is one of the core principles of Hinduism teaching.
One of my favorite stories. I always choose to view it through the lens of empathy and as a guide to how we should treat each other. While we may not all be the same person, or soul, or whatever - we ARE all human, and we ARE all family.
What reincarnates would not be the so-called individual you that you think you are, you won't be the edgy self you are right now for that is only illusory. The true self is neither born nor dies, or one could say it constantly does die and get reborn, and not to mention, the true self is beyond the mind and/or matter, it rather is that which is witness to them. Time, space and causation themselves are nothing but mere mental concepts, that appear within consciousness/awareness that is all there is, i.e., the true self if any at all.
So I wrote this story as a theory in a separate life. Thing is, if you spend enough time in that realm between lives, you start to remember stuff like the story says. But then how do we know for sure that this story wasn't somehow written when we were in the realm and that version of myself is trying to relay a message? My thought process is that if this version of myself wrote the story while they were approaching their final life, then they would be very close to maturing into a God - hence how they use their power to bring the theory into this world 😳
in a way you can kinda realize that we're being guided by our past selves. our past lives are simply carrying their lessons onto us for this life. this is some Avatar based stuff, I like it.
I find it amazing how this … feels like it’s true to me , and so many others . I come back to this video all the time . Listening to this. ? Concept feel so right . So true
If the egg theory is true, then could one person figure out how to send a message through the mind to other people, which technically would be to themselves, and then lead to the possibility of Unity from Rick and Morty. Everyone has their own mind, but could there be a collective hivemind we haven't been able to tap into yet?
@Manta I know that but after watching kruzgezagt’s version of this text, Aperture’s version feels like empty. Music and voice of kruzgezagt was awesome
I'm a Hindu and according to the very old writings everything is written like in a simulation.We live and live again a million or billion times or more but the only way to escape this 3D world is by getting Moksha. Moskha is when we get connected to the Paramaatma(The Supreme Soul), We all other souls are a part of it. So Yes according to Hinduism all the humans are son of God. We can escape the chain of life and death by getting Moksha. No one might realise this and move on but only the one's who do very harsh penance and meditate all the time in forests or at Himalaya are the one's who try to connect to thr supreme being by conerntrating and waking up the subconscious mind.
I literally watched this only twice, and this time -because of all my newer experiences since then- I now understand this to an even greater extent, and not because of how well you explained it, but because now with the all knowledge and time I've sat by myself, due to the pandemic, I've basically came up with this idea on my own...or did I? cause the unconscious can still retain information even if you don't notice it, whether or not it was because of that, I understand it not because of the words, like you said, but because I felt it, and I think me being able to consciously recognize that, only makes it more valid. But besides that, I wish I could've said this when I first saw it, but great fucking video man. now if only we could get people to see themselves too...
maybe if we were able to tell someone this idea when theyre in their feelings, (mostly sad) and if you are already close with them, they would be able to grasp the idea, but also actually retain it, and like @Peterscraps said, "it makes a case for compassion without including anyone." so if someone were to gain this mindset, the odd of them running from it are low...unless your like me, where you have this idea, but cant explain it, and so people dont listen and you feel crazy just because you cant communicate the idea better, i felt crazy...
i wonder how many people have come to the conclusion independently that the purpose of this universe is to give birth to a god its clear to me that humanity is becoming slowly one i like to think that if its a last man standing they will say: its a boy! whereas if its several cooperating civilizations they will say: its triplets! i also had an idea, which made me feel connected to god, even though im not sure if theres a god, im agnostic, untill recently antitheist. i thought that maybe god had a pet, which he loved very much. but after eons and eons, he was lonely, because his pet couldnt understand him. he would tell him how much he loved him, but his pet could never comprehend, truly ,what god felt. in the end god decided to let his pet go, and designed a universe where his pet could evolve into someone who would be able to, trully, finally, understand how much he loved him: the only thing that could understand god was another equal, a god. i thought of this when i noticed my dog, who i love more than anything, evolving in front of me. he loves to walk in his two back legs every chance he gets, he loves to use his front paws as hands, he likes to manipulate the environment with them. he is evolving. i wondered if i could ever let him go, to evolve on his own into someone that could fully understand how much i love him. would i be able to do it knowing that he would have to go through unimaginable pains, just like what the whole of humanity has gone through ever since it was simple bacteria. i would love all the creatures of this universe equally, as they would all have the essense of my dog in them, they would fight and kill each other, and they would not understand, they are one and the same, they are simply hurting themselves. then i understood, and i felt a strong connection and surge of bittersweet understanding with god, even though i dont know if he exists.
As I've always said: "The best we can hope for is that there is absolutely nothing after death or that we are reborn without memories." Anything else would be complete shit. I mean, who the hell wants to live in a monotonously repetitive eternity? It doesn't matter if it's in the heavenly or the devilish sense. It would be boring as hell! I will say that at least 2 years after arriving, everything there becomes extremely boring. 🤷♂️
It's possible that it's both. That there is some heavenly place full of anything and everything you could ever want to experience. But you'd never be subjected to anything that you didn't ask for. There'd be no stakes. Alan Watts has a great short video about exactly this, well worth the listen: ua-cam.com/video/_Z41IgIU9dE/v-deo.html
Maybe for that Devilish/Heavenly creature there is nothing as boring... I mean boring only exists due to our senses (as stated by Buddha and Bhagavad-Gita) and that creature won't have anything like that...

I have thought of this very idea before. It's a form of cosmic justice that makes more sense than any other I've ever heard and, the way I understand it, requires little to no supernatural ideas (in some sense).
It is convenient to highlight the following possibility: All living beings have one thing in common, Life, life that manifests itself as "Life Incarnate in Matter". Evolution consists of "approaching Life", "dwelling in our real essence". Each living being lives in its own reality, and at the same time is a "child of life". The "dimension" "where Life dwells" exceeds that which contains the Universe. In that dimension, Time ceases to have a dimension.
Aperture, Engineering made easy, Einzelganger, Academy of ideas, Pursuit of wonder I love these kinds of channels! Makes you really think deep breaths 🧠 💭
The idea of seeing the world from someone else’s eyes will always remind me of The hidden Story Of Every person by Pursuit of Wonder. When I’m feeling hateful, angry, upset, depressed, what ever strong emotion; I like to watch that video. Reminds me that maybe they aren’t a bad person, maybe they are? Who am I to assume? Life is a lot easier if you smile and offer a hand. After all, if we’re all bad people, that must mean I am a bad person in someone’s eyes.
Would definitely recommend checking out Kurzgesagt's version of this, 'The Egg', brilliant animation and voice acting

The 2 both best covers of this story I've ever heard is This and Kurzgesagt... Lovely
One of my favorite stories. I always choose to view it through the lens of empathy and as a guide to how we should treat each other. While we may not all be the same person, or soul, or whatever - we ARE all human, and we ARE all family.
Reference of this video:- Kurzgesagt, The Egg- A short story
The concept of reincarnation...
I couldn't think of a worse nightmare
What reincarnates would not be the so-called individual you that you think you are, you won't be the edgy self you are right now for that is only illusory. The true self is neither born nor dies, or one could say it constantly does die and get reborn, and not to mention, the true self is beyond the mind and/or matter, it rather is that which is witness to them. Time, space and causation themselves are nothing but mere mental concepts, that appear within consciousness/awareness that is all there is, i.e., the true self if any at all.
Kurzgesagt's video of this was AMAZING
So I wrote this story as a theory in a separate life.
Thing is, if you spend enough time in that realm between lives, you start to remember stuff like the story says. But then how do we know for sure that this story wasn't somehow written when we were in the realm and that version of myself is trying to relay a message?
My thought process is that if this version of myself wrote the story while they were approaching their final life, then they would be very close to maturing into a God - hence how they use their power to bring the theory into this world 😳
This is very intriguing. I love hearing life explained through multiple perspectives.
I swear Kurzgesagt did a video like this
"You live only two lives, your second begins when you realize you have 1"
That hit me. Then it hit me again when I realized that my first life was over when he said that.
in a way you can kinda realize that we're being guided by our past selves. our past lives are simply carrying their lessons onto us for this life.
this is some Avatar based stuff, I like it.
I enjoyed this. I would also recommend the book "God's debris" by Scott Adams. Thought experiments are fun.
Reading it’s synopsis now. Wow - great recommendation. Thank you for this.
I find it amazing how this … feels like it’s true to me , and so many others . I come back to this video all the time . Listening to this. ? Concept feel so right . So true
I am having a conversation with my boyfriend and girlfriend about this rn.
Funny enough, I have said this in one of your videos
Great theory and cool that you made a video on it
7:49- To plant a tree is to believe in tomorrow
I love your videos they’re nice to understand and very informative and your voice is awesome :)
If you guys listen to logic it reminds me of how this story is told in the Everybody Album
No matter how often I hear this story, it never fails to let a tear drop.
1:00 yeah I actualy realize that moment there was no music and Just you and I.
If the egg theory is true, then could one person figure out how to send a message through the mind to other people, which technically would be to themselves, and then lead to the possibility of Unity from Rick and Morty. Everyone has their own mind, but could there be a collective hivemind we haven't been able to tap into yet?
Kruzgezagt narrated this beautifully. This just feels like a copy cat
@Manta I know that but after watching kruzgezagt’s version of this text, Aperture’s version feels like empty. Music and voice of kruzgezagt was awesome
@@Alienytical go back to Kurz... and stop complaining then
I'm a Hindu and according to the very old writings everything is written like in a simulation.We live and live again a million or billion times or more but the only way to escape this 3D world is by getting Moksha. Moskha is when we get connected to the Paramaatma(The Supreme Soul), We all other souls are a part of it. So Yes according to Hinduism all the humans are son of God. We can escape the chain of life and death by getting Moksha. No one might realise this and move on but only the one's who do very harsh penance and meditate all the time in forests or at Himalaya are the one's who try to connect to thr supreme being by conerntrating and waking up the subconscious mind.

Kursugagset’s version in quite enticing
kurzgesagt made this a bit earlier but aight I like this guys voice nontheless
“Mom said it’s my turn with the embodied soul”
I've always loved the Egg Theory. It's very simple and elegant on how we can view humanity.
Man i hope this channel and the person behind never change!
I literally watched this only twice, and this time -because of all my newer experiences since then- I now understand this to an even greater extent, and not because of how well you explained it, but because now with the all knowledge and time I've sat by myself, due to the pandemic, I've basically came up with this idea on my own...or did I? cause the unconscious can still retain information even if you don't notice it, whether or not it was because of that, I understand it not because of the words, like you said, but because I felt it, and I think me being able to consciously recognize that, only makes it more valid. But besides that, I wish I could've said this when I first saw it, but great fucking video man. now if only we could get people to see themselves too...
maybe if we were able to tell someone this idea when theyre in their feelings, (mostly sad) and if you are already close with them, they would be able to grasp the idea, but also actually retain it, and like @Peterscraps said, "it makes a case for compassion without including anyone." so if someone were to gain this mindset, the odd of them running from it are low...unless your like me, where you have this idea, but cant explain it, and so people dont listen and you feel crazy just because you cant communicate the idea better, i felt crazy...
Dam you are uploading like crazy with pure quality keep up the good work 👍
Instant Kurzgesagt flashbacks
Shower thought: Aperture is actually a grim reaper and now he is telling us how after death will pass.
i wonder how many people have come to the conclusion independently that the purpose of this universe is to give birth to a god
its clear to me that humanity is becoming slowly one
i like to think that if its a last man standing they will say: its a boy!
whereas if its several cooperating civilizations they will say: its triplets!
i also had an idea, which made me feel connected to god, even though im not sure if theres a god, im agnostic, untill recently antitheist. i thought that maybe god had a pet, which he loved very much. but after eons and eons, he was lonely, because his pet couldnt understand him. he would tell him how much he loved him, but his pet could never comprehend, truly ,what god felt. in the end god decided to let his pet go, and designed a universe where his pet could evolve into someone who would be able to, trully, finally, understand how much he loved him: the only thing that could understand god was another equal, a god.
i thought of this when i noticed my dog, who i love more than anything, evolving in front of me. he loves to walk in his two back legs every chance he gets, he loves to use his front paws as hands, he likes to manipulate the environment with them. he is evolving. i wondered if i could ever let him go, to evolve on his own into someone that could fully understand how much i love him. would i be able to do it knowing
that he would have to go through unimaginable pains, just like what the whole of humanity has gone through ever since it was simple bacteria. i would love all the creatures of this universe equally, as they would all have the essense of my dog in them, they would fight and kill each other, and they would not understand, they are one and the same, they are simply hurting themselves.
then i understood, and i felt a strong connection and surge of bittersweet understanding with god, even though i dont know if he exists.
this is one of those rare instances of something that isn't true, but contains more truth than if it were
As I've always said: "The best we can hope for is that there is absolutely nothing after death or that we are reborn without memories."
Anything else would be complete shit. I mean, who the hell wants to live in a monotonously repetitive eternity? It doesn't matter if it's in the heavenly or the devilish sense. It would be boring as hell! I will say that at least 2 years after arriving, everything there becomes extremely boring. 🤷♂️
I agree
It's possible that it's both. That there is some heavenly place full of anything and everything you could ever want to experience. But you'd never be subjected to anything that you didn't ask for. There'd be no stakes.
Alan Watts has a great short video about exactly this, well worth the listen: ua-cam.com/video/_Z41IgIU9dE/v-deo.html
Maybe for that Devilish/Heavenly creature there is nothing as boring...
I mean boring only exists due to our senses (as stated by Buddha and Bhagavad-Gita) and that creature won't have anything like that...
No I don’t want to be reborn. What if I get reborn into a shitty life?
@@NoName-or3ys Some of us were already born into a shitty life with a shitty body and a shitty brain. I'm hoping for everlasting sleep but even if I rolled the dice, odds are I'd end up in a better life.
YES I KNOW OF THIS ONE but I like the way you explain it
Its not him the audio is stolen
This video reminded me of Kurzesagt's video.
That’s because he plagiarized the script word for word
My grandpa is on hospice rn, and only has about 48 hrs left, so death is something I've been thinking about
We need to do this with AI. Make it experience a million lifetimes so they can appreciate human life.
that would be... Interesting.
This comment is underrated
Huh, maybe we're the AI all this time.
But you ARE the AI, and you are also every human life the AI appreciated, and every human life it despised, and every human life it loved

"The thought of this would drive me insane
It's like divide by zero"
"If you knew then what you know now, how would you do things differently."
This sentence stirs so many emotions and thoughts I've been bottling up lately. You have a brilliant way of storytelling, leaves me in awe each time.
I believe the meaning of life is subjective with no definite answer. Everyone finds their own since of belonging and reasons for the powers at be.
Reading about people grabbing multi-figures monthly as income in investments even in this crazy days in the market,any pointers on how to make substantial progress in earnings?would be appreciated.

@@bigog4559 This lady right here,I tradr with her she’s inventive and the P.O.T are no jokes, I won’t look awestricken u made mention of her,,
Simple step-by-step process, excellent and good response times. The service was extremely streamlined and friendly throughout. Would recommend them to anyone give Eliana Brooklyn a try.
Look into Generic Subjective Continuity. Sam Harris has been talking about it lately. It's from Tom Clark's essay "Death Nothingness and Subjectivity".
"Every man has two lives, and the second starts when he realizes he has just one." As always the last quote makes me think and did some change in my perspective for something
these videos always make me cry because they make me realize a lot
You're reading your own comment, listening to yourself.
And you are responding to yourself in the future
you honestly deserve more subs.
This is a copy of the kurzigagt video.
Bro. Its a story. not even written by kurz. Stfu 💀 you don't go on every video analysis of Shakespeare saying "this is a copy of Shakespeares book".. do you??
Sitting in my room alone, seeing the rain through window, Having a cup of coffee, enjoying the moment feels nothing to be curious and no need to question.
This guy completely copied kurzgesagt's video LMAO 🤣😂
The entire script is copied.
Word for word and with stock footage… wtf was the point of this?
Have any of you seen the Kurzgezart version of this? I suggest it as it was made first, the main contrast between this one and that it the animation on one and irl on the other.
Yo, Kurzeguet also did this story. I love both.
the fact that i know every word of the theory itselfs from all the times a wathced kurzgesagt's video on this, but i still watch because i like the fact that you add to it and it clearly is your version, good stuff keep going
I have thought of this very idea before. It's a form of cosmic justice that makes more sense than any other I've ever heard and, the way I understand it, requires little to no supernatural ideas (in some sense).
It is convenient to highlight the following possibility: All living beings have one thing in common, Life, life that manifests itself as "Life Incarnate in Matter". Evolution consists of "approaching Life", "dwelling in our real essence". Each living being lives in its own reality, and at the same time is a "child of life". The "dimension" "where Life dwells" exceeds that which contains the Universe. In that dimension, Time ceases to have a dimension.
Aperture, Engineering made easy, Einzelganger, Academy of ideas, Pursuit of wonder I love these kinds of channels! Makes you really think deep breaths 🧠 💭
The idea of seeing the world from someone else’s eyes will always remind me of The hidden Story Of Every person by Pursuit of Wonder. When I’m feeling hateful, angry, upset, depressed, what ever strong emotion; I like to watch that video. Reminds me that maybe they aren’t a bad person, maybe they are? Who am I to assume? Life is a lot easier if you smile and offer a hand. After all, if we’re all bad people, that must mean I am a bad person in someone’s eyes.
Everyone and everything you look around is you - Alan walts
This quote never made sense to me until I watched this video
It’s kind of crazy that THIS video came out the day my father died.
But hey that's just a theory an Egg theory.
this is like the skit in logics album "everyone", i like it
