    I'm disappointed that you didn't go into the deeper revelations of what the coffee bean symbolized. Its sweet beginnings only to be turned into a bitter taste represents how we, as humans evolve throughout our lifetime. Is the coffee bean's purpose solely to make coffee? Does it have a purpose solely because a higher power has demanded it? Does it turn bitter because it revolts against our societal standards and only by rebelling does it feel like its own entity? We have to apply these questions to ourselves, and only when we find true meaning in a meaningless world, can we understand the struggles of the coffee bean and thus make a true cup of coffee.

    Can't wait to watch Nerdwriter do a video essay about fake Nerdwriter video essays

      It honestly would be plausible, and he would probably make a point highlighting the importance of parody in everyday culture

      Mikasacus, you're easily one of my favorite content creators on this site. Your content is really thought-provoking, and the way you present points/stories/etc. is fascinating. Keep it up

    This is the best parody of a nerd writer/vsauce vid I’ve ever seen. You even got the cadence down perfectly not to mention the pretentious word salad all you’re missing is a quick humble brag about how you’re in a foreign country at the end

    This is the quality content I'm subscribed for. A parody so subtle and so on point that some people are just confused why you made a 3 and a half minute video on coffee with no point to it.

  • @soreiyuupepperpelt8935
    @soreiyuupepperpelt8935 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Sometimes I feel like this video when somebody I know brings up a topic I know almost nothing about. I'll keep the conversation interesting for way too long with smart words and observations that mean almost nothing, sprinkle my few known facts on the subject in every once and a while, the whole time preparing for the moment that the person I am conversing with realizes that I don't know a thing about the subject of the conversation. I weave this elaborate Web of hundred dollar words and recycled facts and an understanding, agreeable tone, ready to be called out on my bullshit. The person I'm talking to almost never realizes that I have no idea what we're discussing.

    There were some great points here about the methods of the cultivation of the gathering of coffee, but perhaps you could have focused more on the gathering of the methods of cultivating coffee instead? It's vitally important that we can find ways to enhance our empathy for coffee and the ways in which we understand coffee. I personally, couldn't bring myself to intentionally segregate coffee from coffee beans without first reaching a deeper understanding of the coffee in the first place.
    Just something to consider.
