      I think it's because movies are 90 minutes long on average, but this guy goes insane in a relatively reasonable 3/4 hour mark. It's also very entertaining to watch him lose his mind over anything.

      Yeah, but on the other hand he did believe that the modern world/society turns more and more towards nihilism - which he described as pretending that there is no problem and chosing the easiest path - and it is both inevidable and unstoppable (I agree that he hated it, but still that was the main focus of his many works). Also that with God's "death" all the metaphysical values are gone and invalidated (and need to be remade from scratch) - which does fall within modern definitions of nihilism.

    Lao Tzu's line about not standing in his path or he'll make him move out the way, is also a reference to one of Lao Tzu's books "The Way" and Tao also translates as road or path

    The amount of meaning packed into this battle speaks volumes about the genius of the ERB team. This is one of my favorite battles and is probably their "deepest" as far as packing meaning into virtually every word.

    Have you ever looked into getting those sitting/standing conversion desks for your office? I've heard a lot of people swear by them during long streaming/recording/editing sessions as it lets them stand for a bit by just lifting the desk up. I know physically sitting isn't the entire issue, but it might help alleviate some of it if you can stretch out while still doing work.

    "A bowl is most useful when it is empty" is referring to the potential of the item before assigning a duty to it. For example, an empty bowl can be used for any multitude of activities(holding candy, placing on your head as a helmet, dog water bowl, etc), but a bowl full of cereal can only be used to eat cereal(or throw it at someone?).

    • @MasterTMO
      @MasterTMO 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I object! A bowl of cereal can also be used to put out your hair if it's on fire! And ... and ... okay, I got nothing else.

    Hard to pick just one favorite video from you, but if I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO CHOOSE.....it's this one for me.
    I really appreciate the dedication and effort you took into editing this truly lengthy, informative, and even hilarious breakdown of what is easily one of the BEST WRITTEN ERBs to ever hit TH-cam. I also appreciate the "I hate my life, I hate my life" bit at the end with you singing and nodding to the beat all defeated. I find myself doing that in my head when rewatching the battle! 😅 Overall, EXCELLENT reaction, FANTASTIC BREAKDOWN, and a REAL GOOD LAUGH. I know this was probably one of, if not, the hardest ERB reaction video you've ever had to sit down and record, edit, and publish, but in my eyes, that suffering was well worth it. 👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks for making all the amazing, diverse, and unique content that you do and for brightening my days whenever you upload. Much love as always to you and your beautiful wife and kids. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I don't tend to react visibly much when watching. One of many reasons why I've never been tempted to do any reactions of my own. It'd be very boring to watch. But this one had me grinning from ear to ear when the philosophers turned on each other, and laughed out loud at "What Is Winning?" Watching your mental breakdown over-analyzing this added to my joy. Thank you.

However, I laughed so Hard during this video that I CRIED!!!!... I just absolutely HAD to comment and say something. Not only was I INCREDIBLY pleased with your catches and knowledge of the Bars, But you tickled me sooo much. I tried to remember the exact Pause Count number in which I could feel your Sanity slipping, But I lost track due to laughter... By the end, I swore your Sanity was legit just Gone, lmao.... Loved this video, Keep it up, And give a Kiss to Baby Skeem for me... 💚💚💚
