Imagine a world where the robot uprising has taken place, but there aren't any wars or human slaves... just freedom.

the most unbelievable thing about this story is humans agreeing to anything
-
One of the ways i've heard nihilism phrased is like this: If nothing matters then everything matters equally, and therefore everything matters.
-
I like how in this video the taleoids are used to represent humans talking to the robots, but whenever i just see a taleoid interacting with a robot, it just seems weird to me, since apparently taleoids are also robots
-
It's so refreshing to see an idea for a post-apocalypse where things are actually better in some way 😊
-
Me when my toaster goes on a stroll never to be seen again:
-
"i know that, no matter what, i'm wonderful" it really is a great line. it hit me in a certain way too
-
The idea of saying “Im purposeless but that’s ok because I am wonderful.” Truly made me smile but also I am sad. It’s such a great message. Something I wish I could feel.
-
My biggest WIP is a robot-focused post-post-apoc hopeful/utopian story, and this reassures me that there might be more of a market for it than just my kids.
-
"We're not here because we're free; we're here because we're not free. There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose, for as we both know, without purpose we would not exist. It is purpose that created us, purpose that connects us, purpose that pulls us, that guides us, that drives us; it is purpose that defines us, purpose that binds us."
-
I really would love to be a tea monk. Going from village to village... drinking tea and listening to people vent. Sounds really nice.
-
"i know that, no matter what, i'm wonderful"… That line instantly caught my attention and gave me pause. I found it beautiful and absolutely unrelatable.
-
the moment I saw the thumbnail and read the title I had a feeling it would be about Psalm for the Wild Built and I'm so glad that I was right! These books are incredible and Becky Chambers is easily one of my favorite authors. Highly recommend their Wayfarers series too!
-
Funny irony that humans, existing for a purpose we don't know obsess over what it might be while robots, things with clearly specific purpose when built find peace in rejecting it. Kinda funny, both of us look for what we lacked.
-
The sound of the last crickets. Good as any reason for a quest.
-
I LOVE the animated intro to these videos! I'd pay an animated Tale Foundry movie! Whoever makes this intro has true talent!
-
absolutely love the idea that life will not stop being there even after an apocalypse c:
-
Coincidentally, I had signed up for that skillshare class last week, and im thoroughly enjoying it.
-
Saw this and immediately thought, "Ahh, A Psalm for the Wild-Built, huh?" Nailed it.
-
Humans aren't as obsessed with their place as humans would have you think. It's ultimately not more than like 10% some existential, selfless labour of human reason. It's because we need resources to live and those resources belong to other humans, so we have to figure out how we're going to serve those humans who own the resources, or starve.
