The First Contact - Alien Worlds of the Past

In this short story, we travel into the distant future in order to consider parts of our distant past. After a crew of space colonizers discover a new world, they attempt to form relations with the planet and import the truth.

This story could also be taken as an allegory of what happens to each human from child to adult.

I’m convinced Pursuit of Wonder is actually an omniscient being trying to teach us lessons

[salokaraulashvili]

this just took "Ignorance is bliss" to another level

I'm pretty sure a lot of us had a bad feeling when he started talking about questioning things.

[ethylique]

We gave them the gift of anxiety and insecurity. Go us!

This guy's voice is so smooth that even the auto-generated subtitles aren't wrong.

[a.gmanish]

This is literally the most well written, "return to monke" story.

I could listen to this man talk for hours

"They did not attack us, we did not attack them. We did not pass along any diseases. But we infected them nonetheless."
Yea it's us guys

[panqueque]

"We had to teach them what questions were"
It was at that moment that he knew, he fucked up.

[hahahahhahaha]

I feel that Pursuit of Wonder is starting its own form of philosophy and I'm glad that I'm here to witness

as an Physics enthusiast.
this video shook me to the base.
physics is all about taking out things and understanding them, questioning nature, but does that take closer or further to truth ?

[ChampagneJayy]

Found this page one day, and now I haven’t stopped having an existential crisis

[therealkakitron]

"If you're happy and you know it clap your hands"
They had no need to clap.

Pursuit of Wonder sees the scattered thoughts, worries and questions in my head, and organises them into coherent sentences and comes up with metaphors to help better understand them. The things he explain are the things I think but can’t explain for myself.

I'm so glad there's still content like this on YouTube. Pretty soon no one would even bother making these kinds of videos becuase of a terrible audience.

"Modern humanity had waited its entire life for this moment" Isn't every moment something we've waited our entire lives for?
