OVERVIEW:
In this video essay, I detail the through-lines between Spirited Away and chaos/emergence/the butterfly effect and what that might teach us about ourselves. This video is meant solely as an artistic work, not a scientific one. I'm stretching the limits with my understanding of science, so if I'm wrong on anything, feel free to rip me to shreds in the comments! If you disagree with philosophical conclusions or premises I've come to, feel free to tear me to shreds over those disagreements as well. Otherwise, enjoy and thanks for watching!

UNDERRATED AF
Amazing video! Spirited away is such an interesting movie to dissect. You did it masterfully
Im lucky i got this video in my recommended
Its so wicked to get small creators in my recommended. This is an awesome video and I’ll be in your corner from here on out 👊!
im like. 30 seconds in and i can tell this is gonna be a good video.
wow that's such a good analysis! it offers a completely new and different perspective of spirited away. i would never thought of linking mathematical concepts to the story!
wow, this is the height of the medium!! seriously amazing work, thank you
This is an excellent video, I find your analysis of how emergent systems relate to both the plot of the movie and life in general to be very on point.
One small nitpick however. At the end there where you talk how convergence means we cannot predict the outcome and divergence means we cannot predict the beginning you mixed up the two, it's the other way around. But even with the mixup the observations themselves are very on point.
To clearify:
Convergence means you can't infere starting conditions from the end state, because many starting conditions can produce the same end state.
Divergence means you can't predict the end state in chaotic systems because one imperceptibly small change can lead to vastly different outcomes.
The episode zima blue from love death and robots feeds right into this philosophical question of how and why the human as a species does what it does and how he modded himself with all this technical progress, but ultimetly he is still just a simple robot following its base instincts.
Man!!, the polish on this video. But apart from that I really loved your analysis, the way you explained emergence and convergence. The simplicity of how just a 1 and 0 could make up something so complex as the entire internet. Loved your vid, instant sub.
this hits all of interests. thank you for making this.
so happy youtube recommended me this! keep up the great work!
A great video, thank you!
After learning about self-organizing criticality I can’t stop thinking of art world in its terms
Same happened to me after Homo Ludens
So you’re right up my alley :))
Great video, great study and analysis and presentation.
underrated, great video !!
Great video! I subscribed. Good luck on your TH-cam journey - I will watch your career with great interest.
you know when people say that miyazaki movies have no plot? It's in the same way that sports have no plot, like causal chains of things happen and you get to an end state, though miyazaki gets to weigh the dice in the plot's favour. My take on this is real life is literally that but every cell and every agent acts in order to minimize chaos.
These vids are bangers. I eagerly future Jay Sandlin productions, lol.
I liked this a lot
This is so real
Great video
Good quality video
Nice👍
This is awesome… Subscribed 🤍
Good Video!
By any chance, are you familiar with greimas work on generative semiotic? Because this analysis is really reminiscent of the kind of text analysis he did
Good video, but you should improve thumbnail? I don't know if it's the word, maybe make a poll with image and name
I think the thumbnail is great.
