Unnecessary bonus trivia ►
This one started in 2021 when I was listening to some top-tier Hungarian-Romani folk music (Csilavtu by Kalyi Jag, if you're curious). It clearly sounded like two people arguing about truth on the bridge of a starship, which seemed as though it might go into a story somewhere. I tried quite hard to buy the rights to the music because no other music would do for the story. Well that didn't go so well and I lost a bunch of sleep and emails over it, but thought the story might work without it anyway. No problem, I'll be done with the whole project in a month tops, I thought. That was over a year ago now. My hair is greyer since, and I never got the rights to the track, and I'm beginning to lose the will to live, but you can't deny two people were getting kinda passive-aggressive on the bridge of a starship. And isn't that really what life is all about?
Thank you for watching, as always. You're ever so kind.

My philosophy is that the janitor doesn't get paid enough for this...

The change from "narrativist" to "friend" at the end there.... chilling
Yes I noticed that as well. It's all about perspective. I think this story has a lot more truth to it. Humans are powerful creatures that have been made to believe we are useless.
@@linzalabamaawake5230Very true, as George Carlin put it, they (the Elite) want obedient workers.
Obedient. Workers.

@@linzalabamaawake5230they literally die at the end, what the fuck are you talking about
He calls him friend as soon as he enters the narrativist quarters. I guess at that point he'd probably come to believe that the narravitivist was his friend since he'd help him survive thus far, and was going to cure the ship. But In the end he is forced to believe the narrativist is his friend.
I think the coolest part about all of this is how the "The most tempting ideology is the belief that you have none." and "Is that not an ideology in itself?" lines explain everything. The Narrativist does not see any belief. He can write them all and yet cannot believe them.
And yet... he still wanted to experience it. He believed his life could be improved by experiencing it. In the same way "The blind do not see black, they simply do not see" isn't a full truth because the blind can still imagine and visualize structures, the Narrativist does not have no belief, he simply has formed a primitive belief from his experience and orders. Perhaps an objective one, maybe a primitive one, but at the end of the day it is still an ideology.
You cannot truly have no belief.
The mission was doomed from the start.
Edit: I wish to add onto this, something that I'm not sure if I can fully believe and yet with a shuttering breath I must accept... facts are malleable. As the Narrativist said, no amount of facts truly matter to someone if their beliefs can warp it however. Yet here I am, someone who comments far too often, and argues far too often to. I'm a believer of science, I constantly cite sources and try to convince everyone from the mildly deterred to the insane zealots to accept the truth and stop hating each other blindly, often in defense of equality or climate change or anything that we know accepting would only make things better. And yet, in my belief in science not an ideology in itself? I can tell myself I'm correct the entire time but the only thing that affirms that over anyone else are the writings of other people. I _know_ it's true in my mind and yet others don't, and if others don't, does that make it true? Of course it does, we'd die without oxygen. But what if we didn't?
The point of this addendum is not that I now accept that I'm a believer in religion just like anyone else. No, that's ridiculous, facts still exist. Reality still exists. But the point is to remove myself from my scientific pedestal. To realize that no amount of science can convince someone who's not open to being convinced. That in a sense, from the believer's point of view, a belief can warp any reality. It doesn't matter if I'm right, if I'm seen as wrong by some people, I will forever be wrong in the view of those people, no matter how many facts I recite.
It's truly a chilling philosophy, but in itself, it's a reality. Will that stop me from trying to spread the truth? Of course not. But in the end I'm trying to work for a better tomorrow same as anyone else, it's just that better tomorrow is different for everyone, and even the desire for a better tomorrow in itself is a belief. It's just... something to keep in mind.
This is perhaps one of the greatest comments I have ever read. It had the selfless sacrifice of telling from ones own experiences on a social platform, and it was honest in reciting what the user believed. It was an essay for the eyes, playing the sweet ideas that I had not thought about, (or chose not to acknowledge), while staying true to reality in a respectable way. Kudos to you Mr. Advertisement. Kudos... To you.
Without the truth of Darwin, we're going to die out, which is exactly what has been going on since 1945. But what if populations were indeed equal?

*"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."*

Why does Exurb1a constantly edge us with content only to give us an existential crisis every time?
And we fall for it.
WHY DO WE FALL FOR IT?
We want it deep down
how's he edging us? dont you have anything else to do with your time?
He's an evil genius. It's because he speaks to our collective shadow and unconsciousness. Everyone sensitive to this frequency becomes devoured.
Or do we fall for anything
The narrativist told us to fall for it
The naritivist is the best antagonist of any fiction I've ever seen....also the music perfect.
This man (xurb1a) has ruined consciousness for me
Exactly, he is what everyone thinks they understand yet he says he is different, I love that they used "a blind man doesn't see black he sees nothing," as such the naritavist is the truest embodiment of nothing that wich we think we understand, I doubt we ever will because its impossible to comprehend nothing but knowing that this character in a fiction about something, can so deeply hold that philosophy is beautifuly ironic in a way. Having no real antagonism but just being someone for the first time not to advocate 'normalcy' in the deepest fundamentals of belief but poetically deeply ignorant to 'reality'
But then, how did he get where he was, and not be locked in a "quiet room"? Or was it the protagonist who was mad and hallucinating from the beginning? How real was the spaceship in the first place? I'd rather watch a Beavis and Butthead episode, frankly. 🤡🥴🤮
People will really agree to this and then be a postmodernist... (It's clear to me that he represents postmodernism)
I love how you vocalize the discussion between critical realism and constructivism. It is so amazingly wrapped in the story and still stays true to the identity of the thought schools... Wow!!
This is awesome! Every single time i watch your videos it feels like im on a high trip to heavon or hell, and when it ends im either in tears of joy or of sadness. Rethinking my existenz, seeing the world in a different view or simply using new quotes from you or famoes dead people to furthen my knowledge and understanding of my surrondings has become a regular thing watching your videos. But no matter how much i enjoy these videos no matter what i learn or how i feel at the end of it, my head hurts.
an old friend of mine used to watch exurb1a's videos with me; we would discuss them together and try and understand while having a laugh at the dry and bitter humor packed into the layers of thought and trippy stories crammed into our monitors.
a few weeks ago she took her own life, and as i was finishing this video i realized i no longer had anyone to talk to about this video. i feel she would've loved it, especially the oxygen alarm part, that kind of humor always made her laugh.
miss you lots Lu! save me a spot over there :)
Sorry to hear about the loss of you're friend I can't possibly imagine what it feels like to you right now but I hope you will feel better.
Just know you're friend was an incredibly special human being. Anyone who enjoys content like this is truly special. I hope you know that even still you're not alone.
im sorry for the loss of your friend. i will pray for you both.
boo hoo stop trauma dumping for attention
Im sorry for your loss 😔
“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”
Always a pleasure to hear that quote by P.K. Dick
Great Video, as always
You have to ask yourself though, did he ever truly stop believing to confirm this theory, or did he just tell himself that he did? Countless people every day claim to no longer believe in love as tears well up in their eyes. That is not the same as not believing, that is just believing from a different perspective, not unlike those that reject the devil keeps the devil alive trough their faith in it. It would be extremely difficult to truly not believe in our so called physical reality. Rejecting it is easy, but to let go of our belief in it is a totally different matter altogether. In our faith in this world and it's systems, taking away our oxygen would kill us. But if we truly didn't believe in physical existence then death wouldn't be real either, and there would be nothing to fear.

I appreciate that this doesn't end with an advocation of any of the philosophies contending with each other. There's a strong hint that everybody just dies because objective reality is a thing, but it's exclusively in the image of the spaceship and doesn't show what's happening with the people. Even with the spaceship image at the end itself, it's unclear if it's being torn apart or if something else is going on, given the bands of light around it.
Fiction that leaves its interpretation up to the reader is real interesting. Takes guts and leaves a lot of room for discussion and thought.
Bro this could have easyly been a movie. Props for great content as usual.
Could be a great short scifi movie, like Electric Dreams episodes, although better than most of the electric dream stories

Near the end of every video, I suddently start crying. I can't explain it... your videos are something different, forever in my heart exurb1a will be my number 1 favorite channel. Lots and lots of love from Bulgaria. Masterpiece...
You never cease to amaze me with your writing. You put into words feelings I have on the daily but I lack the mental fortitude and the creativity to fully comprehend them and make them fully fleshed out ideas the way that you do.
Try googling "Exurbia Experiment A" he has been up to some wild stuff and theres allegations. Its pretty crazy and theres a huge lack of information on this stuff
the tenant/tenet part had me in in tears of laughter.
I still crave help with this
Movie references earlier, with “feckless mispronunciations”: Skelington (Nightmare Before Christmas) and Expresso (Tenet).
I had to pause the video and fume silently for several seconds
And somehow he got away with 'theosaurus' 😅
The last frame of course pointing out that reality is indeed reality and their final hallucinations were put to an abrupt but not unexpected end. Zorbalon's rein was all too brief.
I'm not sure if "rein" is basic illiteracy or a well-crafted joke, but I've had a laugh.
@@dryued6874 That's pretty rude.
Truly a masterpiece of "I told you so." Anyways, off to another exurb1a video.
It depends on your perspective. What if Zorbalon simply believed that time is eternal in that very moment? Sure in "reality" they blow up however ranking one reality over any other is simply a matter of belief. :)
@@PerfectHandProductions Better to comment on it than to do like the Zorbalites and declare a jihad on the offending speaker.

From a story about space into a philosophical life crisis. exurb1a gets us every time.
If you dive into science fiction and especially space, it's a common trope, dare I call it so, to transition into existential crisis inflicting topics.

Yeah but If you try hard enough to can have fun with that existential crisis.
Maybe your depression is a warm bath and your existential crisis is the kaleidoscope of pleasure. If you can chose your own adventure then why not make it a fun one? Depression is an invention of the mind caused by desire and belief being out of balance, believe what you desire and desire what you believe and you can come with on our adventure of eternal pure enjoyment.

I can not stress enough how much literally every single video of yours has resonated with me...
This was excellent. You had me fully on the hook and i was enjoying every minute of it
It fills me with a bit of of dread realizing how easy it is to convince ourselves of really anything we want. This one speaks to me on a certail level. Very much an enthralling story.
This video does a great job of showing both the danger and the beauty of exactly that. It's important to keep grounded but also to understand that perspective (whether truthful or not) can be equally important for happiness and survival. Sometimes reframing a situation in a different light can be beneficial even if it is inaccurate. And sometimes it can be delusional and damaging. We walk the line between belief and truth and can't stray too far from either. Exurb1a does an incredible job with these videos!
Certail? CERTAIL? Get them!
You mean certain? GET EM!
I hope this video might help me cure my mental illness/crisis and grow as a person without burning out my brain from overstimulation.
(Seriously though, I won't try to self medicate with this video to try solve my mental problems, if anything, I'd lose myself in the process instead.

I love it when he references his old work. Like here with “How the Frog Cooked Dinner”
I've never watched that one. How is it referenced?
@@kurtronqx7135 at 21:50 he talks about a scorpion and a frog,
“How the Frog Cooked Donner” is similar to the fable where the Hare crosses the river on the Crocs back
I've only heard the frog and the scorpion version, first in the 1992 film "The Crying Game". Basically he's not referencing his own work, but a rather old folktale. Sorry to shatter your illusion here! I now feel like a scorpion myself! 😢
All of his work has just a gross feeling to it now knowing what exurb1a did to people.
ahaha no ur okay. I think a lot of his work does come from fables like that. But here I think it was a nod to his old work. Especially since I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time he’s done that.
This video started very comical, then progressively got more and more disturbing as the details of this situation got revealed.
Then boom, your insanity becomes your freedom, isn't that a fun, dark and twisted happy ending?
That put me in existential pain. I haven't felt that existentially vulnerable in a while. Thanks bro
Wow, the best thing I have "read" in a long time. Getting the book right now :). Wonderful writing
i think my favorite part about this is that when the (spoilers) second ventillation is lost, the narrativist *is* affected, even though he is supposed to be immune by not having an idealology/being entirely neutral. I'd guess the message of the story if there is one, is that not having an idealology is one in of itself.
I think he was affected the whole time. He was in the captains chair, with the highest clearance, and like he said the captain "had gone mad like the others". His ideology of believing to not have an ideology was a result of the logothesia, not his birth. "The most seductive ideology is having no ideology" is an ideology itself afterall.
he was affected from the start, infact the first one who made the stuff leak in the ventilation, which is why his clearance was taken away in the first place.
They said that he wanted to sabotage the entire voyage from the start
the phrase "the promise that tomorrow will hurt less than today" really got to me
holy heck what a ride this video was.
oof, my brain. every time i watch one of your videos or read one of your books, i feel pulled beyond the typical comfortable confines of consciousness and experience a moment of oneness with the abyss and the infinite. and each time i feel stretched further.
i feel like you're exercising our minds to prepare us for some great cosmic awakening.
This is one of the most philosophical channels there is, simply amazing
This would make a phenomenal feature length film. Just yesterday I sent a new friend a ton of your videos, wondering when the next upload would be, and here you are
Agreed. I’ll add that this sort of has the same story beat as Pandorum. Except much more cleverer.
There is a Swedish film that explores some similar themes, not exactly this, but it has similarities. It's called Aniara. Personally I didn't think it was that great, but if you're into this kind of thing you might like it.
@Daniel Thanks mate!
This is such a gripping piece of sci fi! The narrativist is gonna be one of those antagonists i just cannot get out of my head for years. In my opinion this is one of your best works fitting simultaneously being compelling fiction and social commentary.
This was the first video I was truly confused by lol
The change from "narrativist" to "friend" at the end there.... chilling. "A soporific cavalcade, of atom bombs and lemonade"Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you Exurbia, that was really, really smart and wellmade. Like a 2 hour film in 20 mins
i dont know if this is profitable or gets views or has wide appeal. I will say I love your videos and you never fail to innovate hope you feel proud about your work
I randomly got it recommended to me by youtube, never watched a video of his before, was pretty interesting although I don't know what to do with it. Looks high quality. I think it will have a wider appeal
absolutely obsessed with the range in art styles between this and the last video
best video ever, giggling and being utterly impressed the whole time, now im just planning on who to send this to so more people can experience this!!! i am copying the link of the video and pasting it into an important list in my notes app so i know to return to it
Okay, so this is the first story I've listened to from exurb1a. Boy is it fucking weird. And yet compelling. I really enjoyed it and look forward to listening to others.
Welcome to the madhouse
didn't understand anything at all while simultaneously being mind blown, 10/10 would watch again

You're not meant to anyways.
I think the idea is that because we never perceive reality, and what we call reality is just a thing our brain creates when interpreting what’s actually there, you can say reality is whatever you want and technically be right. If reality is only what your consciousness believes then if you truly believe it to be true, it is. But the final image shows that even though their reality was happy and joyous and everything was fine, it doesn’t stop the ship from exploding and everyone from dying. Reality can be whatever you want, and you can create whatever substitutions you want to take it’s place, but one day the real thing is going to come and ruin everything all the same because even if it’s not real to you it is still real

Hey Exub1a, recently got your book The Fifth Science and it's bloody brilliant, I love the way you weave philosophy into a frankly wonderful narrative in a way I didn't think possible. Also found out that you make music and I've been listening to it non stop - it's right up my alley and maybe I'm tasteless but I think it's excellent. M8 If you can write and make music that good there's nothing you can't do.
Please keep making content cause it's honestly some of the most intellectual shit out there.
I'm sure you taste really good :)
@@Dindonmasker oh he tastes delectable trust me
i agree with the music never read the book but its on my list when i found dog wrestlers watlz i listened to it on repeat for like a hour
What is his music channel?
If you liked the fifth science I absolutely recommend all of his other books. Prince of Milk and Geometry for Ocelots are so fucking great
Mind Blowing! Exurb1a is one of the greatest storytellers of all time! This story was fantastic and I was immersed the entire time.
You are simply fantastic. Thank you for this, something fun and enjoyable and yet makes you think long and hard.
"What if you and I are destined to ride in unfettered bespoke figurettes upon noble beasts on limitless beaches pushed softly on by the wind of the truths we create?" Probably the most beautiful sentence I have ever heard.
figure 8's!! as in, infinity!
I love how he makes me more sane and insane at the same time and i forget the difference is between the two at the same time
it foulish to point a limit of which go in circle
case in point , sanity and insanity depending on perspective context and well belief what is and isn't sane vary widly
This is easily my favorite video of yours yet, and maybe my favorite of the entire internet. I interpret this as the incoming doom ushered by the ideology of "no ideology" that is more or less post-modernism. I am astounded by how incredible and accurate this short story is as an analogy. Absolutely astonished. Standing ovation exurb1a, keep up the good work. I hope this isn't lost upon the masses.
can you explain me this vid pls? I am too dumb to fully understand this.
@@idkwhattonamethisshti it's about how absurd our society has become. Like there is a "drug" in the air thats making everyone so crazy that they are even questioning biological fact... humans need oxygen, even if you don't want it to be true. And because everyone has thrown away traditions and the original "ideologies" that got us to our modern society, our new ones are destroying it
yeah well postmodernism has been dead a while already. Read Vermeulen 2010
"Eat as many facts as you like, it's the digestion of those facts that matters."
I shouldn't be surprised that an exurb1a video leaves me with something to chew on
I love the stories you tell I could just sit here and listen and it's like being taken to a whole other world
I felt like this story never even left the planet
So... the Narrativist killed everyone while descending into madness which lasted just long enough to persuade our protagonist. Such a tragic ending.
or maybe it’s not tragic, but blissful
@@redsalmon9966 uhhh... no
@@netriosilver yes, it kind of is
@@rhobeans Not really.
@@JadeVanadiumResearch What is tragedy if not a distorted form of bliss?
This is the coolest thing you've made yet!
I love "you're just a misanthrope with a theosaurus" lmao. A thesaurus? No, God-lizard.
I just discovered your content, I loved it, I watched couple of your videos back to back. I instantly became your fan. But then I watched the documentary about horrible things you committed, and now I don't know what to do.
what did he do? i must know
@@poimedhanzel2103 in short , he conducted an social experiment on a girl without her consent, sexually assaulted her and drove her to depression and suicidal
Spread the word, tell others of his abuse.
