I make my choices based on coin flips, it's honestly a really good system in my opinion. If you don't know which thing you want, just leave it up to chance. If you find yourself wanting one option more than the other, good job you made your decision.

I am a chicken.

Excellent video, man. It's so refreshing to see other people thinking about the bigger picture. I don't know how you collected all this information, organized it and then presented it in such a cohesive fashion but I thank you for all the effort. This was truly enlightening.

Nostalgia can be tough as you age, I guess depending on how you look back. My brain wants to look back and miss all the different phases of my life, but 1) my brain ruminates on the bad parts and 2) I feel loss/depression about not being able to go back or experience it again.

The egg theory is truly enlightening. Seeing yourself through the eyes of the one who broke your heart or was broken by you truly puts life into perspective.

I’m happy to see so many people reference the egg theory segment. I would love it if you spliced it and posted it as a separate video. Content creators post videos titled “you should watch this every morning” to refer to some practice or some notion that would make you more aware of your own being and help you to live your day with intention. I believe this segment, given its own space, would be one of those videos. It says just about everything I have come to understand about spiritual teaching and existential thinking. Great overall video. I enjoy all of the concepts you have presented and the concise explanation and brief history given to each one.

Bro I can’t believe I got to listen to this for free it’s honestly a really good video

Sheep spend their lives fearing the Wolf, only to be slaughtered by the Shepherd.

This is the kind of video that’s kind of fun to watch for people who are curious and already know the ideas. It’s the kind of video you wish your friends would watch, but they just aren’t interested in reflection. It’s a fun ride regardless.

This, hands down, is the best video I’ve watched. It’s the sort of video you can return to countless times to investigate or refresh your insight - and it’s also the sort of thing that scratches the itch SO WELL for curious and questioning beans like us. I find myself nodding and smiling at various things you say in this. I feel a part of it! What a fabulously constructed piece. BIG FAN!

I’m a fiber optic splicer/technician for the last 23 years and I have a newer coworker we all refer to as Dunning Kruger because he can extrapolate huge amounts of information from substandard data and then act with supreme confidence. I tend to fix a lot of things he’s worked on

So much to ponder. Amazed at just how many hours of effort must be on display here. Thank YOU for taking your vision to a platform where viewers are challanged to think for themsleves. Suggest adding more defined breaks. There is so much that it can be overwhelming.

I love to listen to these vids as I'm falling asleep... perfect voice. Thank you <3

The Egg Theory really does resonate with me. I had a terrible hospital visit in 2017 in which I had died under surgury for 20 minutes. When I was gone, I had a sense of calming solitude in which nobody had greeted me or walked with me. I strongly believe that it was not my time and I was brought back for a reason, but with your explanation that everyone around is basically me but not really me is overwhelming. In the sesne that I could be the worst and best version of myself on different timelines. It's not a crazy idea but its worth taking note of.

I thought life couldn't get worse when my fiancé died by suicide. I named my son after him and 16 years later, my son by the same name died by suicide. I am all too familiar with the black swan theory. I was the chicken carried to the slaughter house twice, but instead of at least ending my misery at the betrayal i have to live on in it.

The more I learn the less I know

The ironic thing about you saying people don't like your voice is that I was sitting here watching at the start of the video thinking how great of a voice yours is for telling a story. I am not tired of your voice and have been subbed for a few years now, keep up the good work Aperture.
