    Excellent review as always! The concept of exponentially shrinking is absolutely terrifying lol. First you face the fear of society; how your fellow man will treat you with disdain. Then comes the primal fear of survival; how will you survive a world unfit for your existence? Next is one that I didn't expect, but it's existential. At a microscopic level, what do you have left? You are faced with isolation on a level so profound that many people don't come close. It kinda reminds me of thalassophobia or megalophobia - the fear of large bodies of water or large things. In a way they are both different representations of something we all deeply fear: obsolescence. What are you worth when everything around you is larger, vaster, stronger and dangerous? What is humanity worth when they're no longer the main characters? Idk if that makes any sense at all, but it just got me thinking lol

      Each day we take so much for granted, in a way it is inevitable but still raises fascinating questions about the each and every “What if?” that could change our perspective on life and existence. The best compliment I can get for any of my videos is that it got you thinking, thank you for watching!

      Probably, but no one can’t seem to find him, so we’re not sure. O-o
