The Trauma of Wounded Galaxies (Spinal Catastrophism Part 2)

Welcome back to “Whose Spine is it Anyways?”, where the pineal gland is aimed up and the joints don’t matter. I’m your host, the Element Freak himself, and boy, if my throat isn’t sore when we’re done, my back will be. We’re gonna jump into the annotations to finish out Spinal Catastrophism, a mind-breaking novel by extinction expert Thomas Moynihan.
From Hypergenealogical ravings to the Neurological Bourgeoisie to the Fermi Paradox and everything in-between, let us engage in an act of impious philosophical exploration.

No, Prude, I was not, in fact, filtered.

Okay I know I'm hella late to this party, but I've received no less than 40, 000 comments telling me to check this out so evidently now is a good time since the sequel just dropped.

[celestialowl]

Now for the series on Fanged Noumena, each chapter its own 9 hour episode. You are being held at metaphysical metaphorical gunpoint

[oberlurch-handimations]

You have just opened a door for me. I had no idea that theory fiction was even a thing! That's such a cool concept! I like this whole Spinal Catastrophe even more now, god damn!

[theozarkist]

*drops a massive heap of esoteric and mind blowing philosophy on my desk* “Uh source?” “I made it all up.”

[steepology]

Right when i started thinking "this sounds like something Will Wood would sing about", you quoted Will Wood. Bravo.

[marcopivetta]

i like the idea that we can just make someone up, say they are a very obscure and ancient sage and just make them say things. It's very classical era-coded.

[aylinevaldiviaespinoza]

omg I've been waiting for this for I even started reading Spinal Catastrophism. There are sections that literally make my heart race with excitement. I'd like to read them aloud, to scream them to the world. Other passages... are so dense. I do read it very slowly, but it's always worth it.

It has been some months and I can Honestly said that the first part of this series changed my perspective as a whole; life, time, and, myself, no longer meant the same afterwards, more than any other video I have ever watched: thank you, so much, for bringing the topic to my and others' attention and for doing what you do. Keep up the good work! The quality of these videos really is something worth noting. Can't wait to watch this one and finally read the book afterwards. 🦴👍

EDITS: Typos, made like 10 lol

[floatingpoint]

Finally! Also you're killing it with these thumbnails bro wtf.

[GalileoAV]

That use of Surgical Extraction in the thumbnail goes *hard*

[PeregrineAnatum]

39:59 "How can we remedy a wound the size of existence?" I can't think of any other quote that is quite as sobering as this one.

[curiousponderings]

Finally, more to one of the most interesting ideas the Internet has seen in a hot minute.

[thothathenaeum]

I have waited 10 months and 26 days for this! I’m so happy you made the part 2! Cant wait to see this

[Grazzmazzium]

You made me read and study the entire book over the course of a few months. One of the best books I've ever read. Terrifying, but it leaves options open for the future of our evolution.

[christianmayfield]

Very cool to hear that your video had such a big impact on their book sales. Sounds like I wasn’t the only one who decided to read it myself.

[chedagoz]

Let's hit it for the algorithm guys. This obscure yet kind of deep, but actually schitzo content researched to the point that you ask yourself "why would anyone??" is what the internet is all about.

[daviddavidson]

I've never heard of you, or seen part 1, but as paranoid schizophrenic I appreciate the algorithms effort :)

[Charlie-Em]

The blessed algorithm is truly blessed; I'll just say that. I finished watching part one first and now I'm finally tapping into this one.

oh hell yeah, new element freak video
