- With her signature wit and wisdom, Emily Levine meets her ultimate challenge as a comedian/philosopher: she makes dying funny. In this personal talk, she takes us on her journey to make friends with reality -- and peace with death. Life is an enormous gift, Levine says: "You enrich it as best you can, and then you give it back."

This wonderful person passed on the 3rd of Feb. Just by watching this I'm sure we can say she enriched our lives.

I hope her journey was easy and I’m guessing we’ll feel her impact however she returns! ~ Thanks for letting us know! ❤️
She is a fantastic soul ! RIP
how old was she.shes was very courageous to do this speech
@@joweston9220 you can find her on Google if you search her name. You'll find all her information. :)
tears came to my eyes as her voice broke .Quantum science says reality happens upon interaction as she thanks the audience for her reality .Such a gift
She made my cry, I watched this for the 1000th time now
Shows how being ignored & dismissed, not feeling seen or heard and/or being chronically misunderstood can lead a person to question their own reality and even their own existence! It makes you feel like you’re in a simulation 🧟♀️ How beautiful that she received & felt her proper recognition 🙌🥹
… I fear I never will 💔
She reminds me so much of Frankie from Grace and Frankie. Her tone of voice, her look, her outlook, her philosophy, uncanny!
Emily Levine really reminds me of Frankie from Grace and Frankie as well. That show is such an amazing show :) It is so life-enriching, just like this heartfelt gift of a video.
Absolutely she's so much like Frankie. I just love her.
Yes....even her facial expressions .... such a ball of energy. Rest in peace . Proceed in power
She is totally Frankie
Lily Tomlin!
"I have fantasies. They are like goals, but without the hard work." Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha she described the lives of almost 99% of people in a few seconds 😂😂.
We all came from stardust and will be stardust eventually. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to meet your reality!
Just watched this and discovered she passed on the 3rd of February this year, so a month and a half or so before I found this talk. Currently looking through her website. She was an incredible woman. I’m sure every microbe, detritus-er and decomposer are finding you delicious indeed :)
One of them with a cool name is springtails!
I hope I meet people like this in heaven or wherever cool people go😜
This was THE BEST TED TALKS that I have ever viewed! Simply Powerful! Sorry to hear about her passing, but as she stated the earth will find her delicious! Much respect!
You are given a enormous gift called life, you enrich it as much as you can and give it back.
Those words were the most incredible to me.
I've been in a very existentially somber mood recently, which is what lead me down a rabbit hole of Ted Talks and, ultimately, here. Then, I read from a comment by Klea Tselentis that Emily passed on February 3rd, and that struck me so deeply because today is also February 3rd. Thank you for this, Emily.
I wish I could give this video more thumbs up. What a phenomenal and vibrant spirit she has and a fantastic message she shares
Today is a gift..
That's why its called present !!!
Rather than grieving..
Be graceful, you are still breathing!
Enjoy your life😊
As I was viewing this video for the second time and browsing through the comments, I saw yours and decided to give it a like. It's a good comment. Then I saw that I had already done so the first time. Have a great day!
What an absolute treasure of a person she is. I'm in an incredibly dark place right now and I thought this might be a good topic for me given the title of the talk. What a pleasure it was to watch, especially knowing this perfect stranger made it possible for me to smile for nearly fifteen minutes, which to me is incredible and I'm very grateful. On top of that simple fact, I find I have much more to consider than I did before watching this talk. Thank you.
Awesome delivery..
I hope your in a better place 🙃 stay strong and push on!
@@anitadeihk7804 So much worse if I'm being honest, but I haven't given up! I hope you are well.
Amazing. I could feel her positive vibes through the screen. What a beautiful energy she has.
"Thanks for making my life real"
Anybody else think that this was a reference towards the colapse of the wave funtion? It only existed becuase there was an observer to it... she is amazing
i hadn't seen this talk until today. i'm so happy i did. thanks for giving it back, emily. godspeed.
May we all be so curious about life and each other, and find our grounded power in Life’s gift of vulnerability!
May she live on in all of us, for our own sakes. 🙏🏾❤️
this woman is so amazing, i really think the world would be a better place if we all was a little more like her :) thank you for existing Emily
this is an example of someone who has real depth to them
What an incredible lady! Thank you for making me feel better about my own mortality Levine! I am not at all at the point where I would be able to embrace death, and I really admire this lady. What a courage, what selflessness!
She brought tears to my eyes and heart with her amazing grasp on life and it's passing glory.🙏 Thank you.
Delicious indeed. Comedy is like a gift economy too. The give and take of joy and laughter can help anyone who lets it. Good journeys Emily.
Cogito Ergo Zoooom! I will for my time here, cherish that. Emily, You are a treasure and a sparkling jewel! Thank you for the reality check. Rhythm and polarity a powerful choice!

RIP amazing lady! I’m sure wherever you are your learning and your loving!
The old lady driving joke is wonderful
This is the best Ted Talk I've ever watched. Thank u Emily
She is adorable !! I’m so glad I stumbled upon this video! Sad that she’s gone but her spirit will live on! Viva reality!
I've been in a very unchangable reality recently, i got my hands stucked. But as she related this reality to science which I'm fond of, Blessed me so much, may her atitude remain.
What a brilliant talk from a brilliant woman :D
I LOVE HER
Bad Girl me too 🧡
Bad Girl yes she is so cute so cute
Bad Girl me too!
Bless you Emily! This talk is so precious. And thanks for sharing real.
I don't agree with everything she said, but what a great energy. Such a charismatic woman.
Just loved to hear her.
Thank you for this talk.
Awesome!! Needed your message today. Thank you!!
Thank You, Emily Levine. Your humor and wisdom is needed and appreciated. Yeah ... reality ... it's always there, it's just a matter of how much we want to see it for what it is ... and is not. I agree Life and Death cannot be with out each other. Your remarks about nature and women ... however are interesting, and worth more thought. While you do not have to be very old to experience death (seeing people, animals and plants dying all around us) ... knowing at some point we will also die ... I consider what makes some want to live forever ... or just live to be older than most ... the part of having to let go or say goodbye to that which we feel so connected ... It is not easy to form a strong connection to just anyone (for some not even with their parents or family) ...so when you have a strong connection, that connection, helps you feel so good (about being alive) and so I consider it is the connection we don't want to go away ... in the form of dying. Also there is that fear of the unknown (unless you are a person who has a strong belief about what exactly does happen once we die). Emily, you make me think about my Dear, deceased, Mother-in-law. Flo. Flo lived well ... and even though she was prepared to die, once she knew she would be within a relative period of time, she actually said once (within her last few weeks) ... "I don't know how to do this" ... of course she did not she'd only dedicating her life to living ... that had to be such an odd transition for her ... but death ... it has it's own way stepping in and taking over at some point. Our death is inevitable but suffering due to fear of it is optional and suffering that follows the death of someone Dear ... that's due to the loss of connection. (We have forgotten we never truly lose connection it does just change forms.) Love & Peace to All
Life is death , death is life . Good is bad , bad is good . Everything is a cycle.You are a great philosopher.
I need to listen to this every day!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Beautiful. She’s SO beautiful. Thank you, thank her, thank God. What an incredible 💝 gift. Clap clap clap 👏🏼
Thank you for enriching my life with your amazing spirit!!
So fantastic. I think life can be just as beautiful even without limits. Limits have bound our emotions and feelings forever, and while it's risky to disrupt the fragile equilibrium that is life by removing limits like death, I think we're missing out on so much of where life can go if we don't at least test some different limits.
Amazing speaker! I've thoroughly enjoyed this talk!
So much love and respect for this woman 😭❤❤❤❤
what a beautiful soul, I fell in love with her less than 5 minutes in
Instead of writing disrespectful comments or wring long comment of why you dont agree with her,just listen and learn what you can from her. knowledge is powerful. Thank you
Young Romeo She does not convey knowledge. This is called philosophical, conditional dogma.
She interprets real knowledge with an ideological perspective.
I mean - good for her. And it is one possible way to keep a sane cognition.
But it is not knowledge in any way.
It is a great speech with a pleasurable comedic sense.
Love & light, sister.
Thank you.
Wow. She is smart and funny! Thank you for your grace and humility!
what a spirit mam
Damn i love her green converse
Sending you so much love and gratitude 🙏
You are also responsible for the genuine smile on my face right now too . Thank you very much ... I very much enjoyed this Ted talk from you and would be very interested in other talks from you. Take care
Ms. Emily, we love the talk :-) It's full of inspiration.
And well no matter how great the talk is, there are people who would dislike it. Seriously? Reality says they exist. We can't please everybody.
A person to fall in love with. She was beautiful in so many ways.
The candor just caught me off guard. I love her.
In my salad days (decades ago) I worked at the 'PROV Budd Friedman's Improvisation way back then was based on 44th street in NYC. They hadn't yet moved the club to Los Angeles. I remember the NYC Stickball Team, a wildly creative, off the wall group. Including Steve Landesberg, as well. Maybe Liz Torres? Emily was the girl, jump-in-with-both-feet ready for whatever onstage!! With her mop of dark hair, lively sparkling 'tude, and comedic brilliance, she was hard to miss. And, impossible to forget. Bless her heart, oy....such nice memories.
Keep watching it over and over again!
A perfect example of Life . I love her .
OMG. I FOUND HER JUST NOW. I LOVE THIS TALK. IT FEELS LIKE HOME TO ME BECAUSE I REALLY FELT HER!! I FOUND SOMEONE WHO'S MORE OF LIKE ME. I UNDERSTAND HER.
Such a wonderful and enriching speech.. Something to look forward into. ~reality
I want to spend an evening in a dive bar chatting with this woman before her library closes forever.
She is an absolute masterpiece !
This is beautiful...thank you Emily
What a beautiful soul. Hermosa un ejemplo a seguir
That is the greatest tedtalk I’ve ever heard ..... woman’s wisdom
incredible! we need more of this
Beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏻
Wow, beautiful perspective.
I love Emily sooooo much! Whatever form she's in now is perfect. Cogito Ergo Zoooom is my new battle cry.... and maybe a T shirt. :-)
What a beautiful soul
This is the most beautiful ted talk. RIP
Wow Emily - what an amazing talk. Thanks
I hope this will still be me in 80 years, cuz I'm 23 and this is how I feel now, and I don't ever want to become so desperate to live longer that I desire to defeat death.
Thank you Emily for your interpretation of "Emily's Universe" you have just acquired another satellite....well done
Love it! Thanks Madame. 💙 thats a nice way of looking at reality indeed.
Thank you, Emily. You are awesome. Inspire me a lot.
Why do all the good people have to leave early. Beautiful human being. Loved her talks. May she rest, well deserved.
Emily passed away early in the morning on Sunday February 3, 2019. What an amazing spirit! Thank you Emily.
This is just so brilliant!
Amazing talk! Thank you
I am grateful to listen to Emily
Wow!!! What a wonderful speaker
Very real.. This truly the best reality I've ever heard..
Thank you so much for making my life real.
Fantastic message and fantastic lady.
This is the most beautiful talk I’ve ever heard.
She is remarkable, I love it! Thanks 😊

This is so spot on after learning of Ms. Levine's passing. My sister's beloved pet died today. Lively, funny, quick witted, bonded with us - Chase was actually a brown and white domestic rat. He was 2 1/2-3 yrs old, that is quite long in the fang, for a rodent. After over two years of fun, and great companionship (rats are gonzo smart), he began to fail, and he stopped eating. Nature was speaking. We listened. My sister fed Chase some CBD in water, with a dropper, to keep him comfy and calm. Last night she put him in his towel bed, and he quietly drifted off to sleep, and did not wake up. . "Do not go gently into that good night - rage, rage against the dying of the light"..Well, maybe, not so much. Rest well, Ms. Levine..
Probably the best TED ever
This is fantastic. What a mind.
What a sweetheart.
