I came here after hearing I was two minds. Now I am a bunch of cells.

[bakh]

Help, I am stuck in an endless loop between these two videos.

[SkinoGreeneVu]

I dont like how you made me sympathize with cancer cells

[kingzaynsmyname]

I've come here from CGPGrey, but generally I watch both channels a lot. This collaboration is actually amazing and is 'mind-blowing'!

[lfamvs]

“A part of you is constantly dying”

That’s called a workday, my man

[calengo]

"if you are lucky enough to become old"


...i'm scared now

[mgciniwata]

"Reality continues to ruin my life" line had me rolling on the ground because for some of us, that question really does pester us a lot.

[gamezcatt]

Teacher showed this in class and I was like “hold up I know that channel”

[cbarre]

So, the phrase "I'm dying inside" is technically true?

[tandscarlson]

As a biochem prof, I teach the bio and chem of these ideas in my classes, but don't touch so much on the philosophical areas which are interesting. One area I wish the video had explored is the fuzzy distinction between a colony and individual. Some colonies of individuals (such a bees, ants, termites) exhibit properties of a single multicellular organism. In some organisms (sponges, slime molds) the distinction between colony and organism is even more blurry.

[applescause]

You somehow managed to make me feel bad for cancer cells

[nick_riviera]

You are your memories of past experiences facing the present each time

[glaizabacay]

"What are you?"

*Me, after seeing The Egg:* You, apparently.

[oslayer]

If you're ever feeling lonely, just remember that you're made up of billions of cells that work to keep you, well, you.

[applescause]

“How much of yourself can you remove before you stop being you?”
Yup, going to bed now.

[EngineerAAJ]

man, this video and the CG Grey colaboration is still one of my favorites of all times!

[phillippeng]

"Mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell..."
GUYS HE SAID THE THING

[waitwhat]

*It has no consciousness, no will, no purpose; it just is* i think i might be a cell

[kolterdyx]

"When the elements that make up you body were forged in a star"
Thats the coolest way you can say you are made out of matter
