Kurzgesagt never fails to give me an existential crisis.

[jeremiahdreaming]

Excellent video. Will have to watch it again yesterday, since I've already seen it tomorrow.

"Me missing the bus was already predetermined since the big bang"
Say that to your teacher in school lol

[reginarosas]

“The Past is far behind us, the future doesn’t exist” gave me instant chills because of the don’t hug me I’m scared reference. Loved it.

[ShubhamSharma-rcud]

Hard to believe this video is from 10 years ago time flies

[dougmcfarlane]

You finally made this video . . . it's about time!

[task_failer]

I love how you missing the bus is knitted into the narrative of this video. As you have missed the bus, are about to miss the bus, just missed the bus, will miss the bus, all at different points in the video

This is exactly what I've been thinking lately. I feel like the future definitely doesn't exist. Time is a feeling. Time isn't material. The moving of the Earth around the Sun is just a movement, and we call it a year, but it's not a specific amount of TIME. A year could pass and it could feel like a minute. THAT is time, that feeling. Our perception of things changing and the feelings that come up because of that.

Everything that has ever happened and will ever happen exists, yet we have free will. That's something we as humans can't understand, or at least I can't. I feel like there are lots of things we know exist but can't understand, like death or nothingness. Maybe those could be spiritual, maybe a way of thinking about the idea of god?

All these ideas I value so much and I feel like I can't continue doing things every day without knowing what to think about them. They're all-encompassing.

Thank you so much for this video, it helped me see other people think about what I've been thinking too.

5:37 I was SO relieved when he said “Except, quantum stuff is ruining everything again”

[HeisenbergFam]

The fact Kurz spent a month travelling to the future just to educate us about it is insane dedication

[hungryburger]

1:08 the Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared reference is awesome 😂 love those little things hidden in there.

[leecherleech]

everyone's talking about the animation, but the soundtrack is amazing! everything leveled up! congrats, i got an existential crisis again!

[kelving]

The fact they can use all of these trademarked characters to illustrate their ideas makes it all feel so much more premium

[siebelibens]

The most unrealistic part is that I have a future 💀

[thisismyusername]

5:16 how meta and ‘breaking the fourth wall’! So cool because it can remind people to continue errands after the video, catch an actual bus, etc.

[yarn]

I did not expect a Don't Hug Me I'm Scared reference at 01:10, that clock lives in my head rent free (I would like to wear it on my rizd).. beautiful work as always Kurzgesagt.

[TOBG]

These videos are the only thing that calms me down. It's nice to know how small my work problems are when im apart of such a large universe.

[Chaychay]

The talent of this crew, just amazing.
