Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.

Fun fact: The "Baron von Münchhausen" is also known as the "Lügenbaron" in German, which translates to "the lying Baron"

It doesn't matter if the car is objectively or subjectively red. Perhaps someone sees a different color consistently and their red is different than your red, but what is consistent is that it is always that color being called red that we can all agree on. Consistency is the definition of truth. And these consistencies form the fundamental basis for the justification of the ideas that branch out of them, including philosophical ideas.

"I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong."

I like this quote because it highlights the beauty of embracing uncertainty and the willingness to explore the unknown. It encourages a mindset of curiosity and openness, recognizing that there is value in the process of inquiry and continuous learning rather than seeking absolute certainty.

I suffer with severe depression and generally a poor quality of life. This channel helps me put meaning to all of it. Thanks for the great videos (and books too!)

The older I get I realize we don’t know what we don’t know. There is also so much to know. And there is always half truth to everything. I also realize how easy some of us believe things that make zero sense to others

I didn't enjoy my birthday last 4th of July since my wife bought and used a part of our savings as a gift for me. The thought of her giving me a gift (even the simplest) was sweet but I got so furious to the point that I felt guilty. We've been saving for the future (iykyk), but again we live in uncertainty. Now this vid came up on my feed, it made me realise that the so called "facts" or should I say "predictions" are all pointless due to the uncertainty of life.

We both have jobs, we both are professionals on our own fields, we both contributed to that savings account and I got furious just because she used a bit of it for my birthday.

Now my guilt is still eating me up though I've already apologized before we slept that night. When we were still dating, I've always told her that life is full of uncertainties. And now here I am, so scared of the future, living for tomorrow and not seeing the beauty of today.

Thanks for this vid and you've reminded me of who I was before. I love you man!

I am connected to all of you because I love you all and I'm constantly wishing everyone well, those near and far, human, alien, flora, and fauna ♡

[natesmith]

Very well done. You always nail the breakdowns and I love the variety of quotes you tie in to all of your videos. Thank you for reminding all of us that we're not searching alone.

[justaguy]

Man your videos are something else. You have such an eloquent way of speaking, and I love that your videos always end around the fact that we're all connected and just trying to live our lives to the fullest. It really got me thinking when you said that quote about how "there's someone out there separated by space and time, yet deeply connected to me, that someone knows me well." It made me feel good. Anyway LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!

Reminds me of someone I used to know. He would ask "why" about my choices. It was an infinite regression "why". It made him seem a philosopher because he said "Why?". When I was tired of the steps of regression he would present his arbitrary preference. If I challenged that, his feelings would be hurt. I, in his estimation, was ungrateful and hurtful because, he would assert, he was only trying to help.

I no longer speak to him.

[puttfordoughdiscgolf]

You have put into words of thoughts I could never express about my philosophy of the world. I’ve always had a hard time connecting with people because I’m aware that everything I think or feel is just an abstract thought of the mind. I have a motto that is “I know nothing but what I’ve experienced.” Great video! Cheers.

[melneils]

At the end when the narrator says that someone out there, separated by distance or time & probably will never meet, is deeply connected by thought.... That was so powerful for me. Thank you for making this video; it'll help me in my conversations with those that think logic/knowledge are better than emotions/intuition.

Of course it's all about the balance. ❤

The blend of 2D and 3D in your animations are truly awestrucking.

like camus said “The struggle itself of being trapped in a bottle is enough to fill a fly’s heart. One must imagine fly happy”

One thing I learnt at an early age, and it still holds true to this day, is that pain hurts.

[sandygoldstrike]

I always love to see your new content. You videos are thought provoking and your books are a real treat. Thank you for all of the effort that you invest sharing your talent with the world.

[Justin-jpjh]

Just finished you book and now found this channel. Love this stuff, thanks for doing what you do.

[davidjohnson]

I want to thank you for this video. It has given me some hope, as I struggle with questions. It defines some questions, some paths to answers, and leaves open lots of things, but that's ok. Thanks for the discourse that has me thinking more!

[teban]

I love this channel, thank you so much, keep up this beautiful work.
