INCREDIBLE video! I've been a fan of the Cosmere for a while now, and have been able to intuit a lot of this, but this video has really helped me fully understand the whole thing and I've drawn a couple new connections because of it! All without having to risk being spoiled by the 17th Shard / Coppermind (my curiosity has gotten the better of me once or twice. Wish I could just have all the books now and finish them in one afternoon, though I know I'd just be left hungry for more Cosmere).

i am a stick

Wow great video, sadly the last but really good video

Definitely an ap Gov student

This is a really excellent video, I would love to see your analysis of how the Edgedancers fit into all of this. They don't share a surge, but they absolutely do have oaths relating to remembering the little guy in a way that no one except maybe Windrunners understand.

Am now 10 chapters into the Way of Kings, which I started immediately after finishing the era 1 Mistborn trilogy. This video was not only fantastic for helping me contextualize the unique peculiarities of Roshar, but it also helped me re-contextualize the lore of Scadriel! Like, for example, the fractures in a person's soul allowing for Investiture to seep in and grant the person power explains why in Mistborn, the characters have to experience intense trauma and "snap" before they can use Allomancy. There are so many other little connections like that I was able to make, too. Thanks a ton for this!! So excited to keep falling down the Sanderson rabbit hole :D

Great video!!! I wish you had talked about Identity, though. I'm not sure if it's just a form of connection to an object (planet) or if it's its own thing.

Nothing I can say but great vid. Keep it up

It’s amazing how Sanderson created an overarching system of basically supernatural science… to the point where magic in the cosmere isn’t really magic at all but a different set of physical and meta-physical laws that only seem like magic to us because our laws of physics are very different.

You got all that without the recent books, wow

Are you okay?

I watch a lot of cosmere videos and this is one of the best ❤

This thought process also helps to explain why magic, mystical powers and religion in the real world are entirely made up.

I always love thematic analysis of starlight. There is not enough of it, at least that I am aware of.

Wow thank you for explaining this deep and complex system with all the simple visual aids

I know that this an old video, but I love it. Excellent and insightful analysis.

This is the best explanation for how the cosmere functions that I’ve seen so far, great job!

One of the biggest issues when people are talking about the Skybreakers (especially so when they're arguing against them) is that the only real notions we have about them come from the time after the recreance that which Nale is leading them. If a Herald who, like all the other ones, has shifted into a state where he's the antithesis of who he once was is leading an Order of Radiants, I'm not so certain that it sets the best precedent. Given how wishy-washy the Oaths are and just how strange the bonding process is, I'm not entirely certain that the Skybreakers are following their oaths correctly. Every other Order we've seen has established a bond at the first oath rather than the third and it just seems like the modern Skybreakers are filling in forgotten and false oaths with squirehood to get past it.

I haven't read the books, just watched 2 videos, this one included, and I already have a theory :)) well, actually more like a question or a theory which could be easily debunked if false: is it established that the god was really killed, like for good? If this isn't clearly or strongly stated, then he might reform out of the shards or something at some point, or maybe he is very much alive in some sense and controls the universe throughout the series.

Awesome video. Love how articulate and in depth it is while not being overwhelming. Also your visual representations are rad. Appreciate the effort it must of taken you!

This is a great video. Do you have any plans to come back because I really want more intellectual discussions of the cosmere

Wait, what, I just watched this awesome video then went to your channel and this is the last upload. :(

Great video.

This was so amazingly brilliant, thank you very much. I've never seen such deep thoughts about radiant orders and their ideals

shawty gon Fuck around and figure out the ending

A hotdog is a sandwich.

Why aren't you making new videos?

SPIRITUAL REALM IS A FREAKING SINGULARITY-WORMHOLE OF THE COSMERE!!!!! Crazy shit. There was this one thing about represent a concept of wormhole in a better way then "bent paper and a pencil" - this he video will be quiet the contender. And Sanderson of course, as the author of the cosmere. But just how cool is that?!

Amazing video. Thank you very much!

cool video! i learned something

Where did you go??? Why aren’t you making more videos?

Me: So... the shards in Roshar react to wavelenght/sound... right? Friend: Basically, yes. Me: Me: I want a musical. Friend: What? Me: I. Want. A. Musical. Friend: That's not how it... Me: And everyone is singing to activate their power! Friend: ...

Why didnt you say cultivations real name, koravellium avast?

why did you stop making videos 😭

...so, about that stick.

I always thought that the spiritual realm was similar to The Wheel Of Time's true source. Brandon Sanderson did finish out that series after all.

Sometimes in stories when characters get through hardship, the purpose of it is for them to understand that there may be no purpose for it. So they accept it and grow. I think the same outlook can apply to real life.

actually an incredible video

the scene transitions with the characters staying constant were really cool. nice use of dark and light

holy hell that hit me hard. this is a compliment

"common set of rules, threads, and characters" * hoid shows up* beautiful amazing my boy my snarky little boy edit: The lil disgruntled Hoid drawing yeeting around for description purposes brings me unparalleled joy Hmm allomantic gold and atium feel very fortune-funky (i mean ik this is roshar but the mistborn brainrot is real)

I already understood most of this, but it was all relly well explained. Amazing video.

Don't know what happened to her but I hope she comes back.

Stellar video. Incredibly well explained. I feel enlightened.

10:59 the mistborn metal logos come from this concept, the amount of layers the nail(s) pierce is the realm they affect

This is probably the smoothest introduction to the realmatic theory and the key elements of the cosmere that I've ever seen, kudos to you

This was so interesting I got through the whole thing, despite the heavy level of nerd accent in your voice. It was really tough, but I made it through.

Taking the actions from one person to judge a whole group? Like taking Elokhar and saying that all humans are bad? Not smart. :)

Your mind is really attractive +1 suscribe

Amazing video really, I think this is the best condensed info in video form of the background info we don't get in the books.
