The Devastating Reason They Visited Earth | You Like It Darker

What does the end of the world look like? In this video, we explore humanity’s long-standing fears about its own destruction. From nuclear war and climate change to cosmic forces beyond our control, we look at the ways our existence hangs by a thread. Stephen King’s story Two Talented Bastids is a haunting tale about two men who encounter something not of this world and learn a devastating truth about humanity’s future. Are we heading toward our own end, or can we break the cycle of destruction?

Hey Quinn, before the year ends just wanted to write to you.

I've been reading science fiction since I was twelve years old. Where I'm from, it's not big even in literature circles. I never had anyone to discuss these stories with so I always kept my thoughts to myself. These past few years coming across your channel and seeing it grow from a small niche youtube channel to a full fledged sci-fi content creator has been such a rewarding experience. Not only did you bring me back to the books of my childhood but introduce me to new and fascinating authors and stories. It's been a tough year but your content has kept me sane and enthusiastic.

I wish you all the love and luck in the world and I cannot wait to see you reach more people in the coming years. Live long and prosper!

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
― Arthur C. Clarke

Hopefully we won’t need to be ruled by a worm god-emperor for 3500 years in order to survive

Hey Quinn, I was taking an Uber the other day and the driver brought up that he loves Scifi and asked if I was aware of the three body problem movie and book series. For the next 35 minutes or so, we got so wrapped up in discussing various scifi books, time flew by. He was fascinated, as am I, with all things Scifi, especially books. I gave him a list of my favorite titles, which happen to be almost all recommendations by you. I also told him to watch you on youtube and patreon. You've got a new fan! Fuuny thing he said was, the way I explained a book made him super excited to want to go read it. Thanks for your recommendations!

I had not really been a fan of Steven King's newer novels but Quinn always has a way of making me wanting to pick up a book. I'd pay money for an audiobook narrated by Quinn.

Perhaps civilizations are like the stars themselves, some burn brightly for billions of years, while others self destruct under their own weight. (giving rise for other intelligent species to form)

"Either we're alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying." Then you have The Great Filter and The Dark Forest, two solutions to the Fermi Paradox and both of those are terrifying too! Fantastic...

This wasnt my favourite story in the collection, but I always like it when king goes a bit sci-fi

Finding out that we aren't alone in the universe and neither be faced with malice nor kindness. But pity. That has to sting.

Keep being worried. Eventually, things will change. When my parents were in school people were blowing up nukes on the surface, atmosphere, under water and in the sky. When I was a kid pollution was really bad. The Great Lakes were dead and the Eagle was going to be extinct. Things do improve.

Fun fact about the Fermi paradox is the story goes Enrico Fermi at lunch one day literally just asked the question "where is everyone?" And from there the question was interpreted as a paradox despite it just being an offhand question during lunch with friends/coworkers.

This kind of thing has been weighing especially heavy on my mind for the last month or so. Texas has always had comparatively mild winters, snow being rare. But this entire month, we may have reached 32 F twice the entire time. It's been t-shirt weather otherwise. Every day. It's never been like this before.

If there's anything that can save us, it's this: complete strangers can, and will, help each other to survive in times of crisis.

Maybe there's enough of them to matter.

I love the way you tell the storys keep it up man .

[VVestA]

Damn. Every time a new Quinn vid drops, I realize again, and again, how much I missed watching them..

[BlueLantern]

Because of your videos, I asked for Children of Time for Christmas and got the whole Trilogy. After I finish Deepdrive by Alexander Jablokov, another book I would love to see features on the channel, I will be starting that. I began the Three Body Problem series as well because of you, so thank you for shaping my Sci-Fi diet the last few years. My mind is the richer for it.

[jasonbowen]

Incredible reading, thank you! The part where the Alien mentions having an autographed picture of Juhjudi was a nice touch

[radarlove]

Happy Holidays, Quinn! Here's wishing you longevity & a prosperous New Year!

[CybershamanX]

Excellent examination and commentary, Quinn! Thank you for sharing this. You know, I actually _do_ like it darker! I'll have to pick this up! I haven't read King in a while. It might be time to dive back in to his voluminous body of work. 😎☮️

[winstonsmith]

Bro, a new Quinn drop. It's a great day 😎
