Death Is Scientifically Bullsh!t - people watching god
heaven
religion
I genuinely cried, because her want for "Heaven" wasn't at ALL for her own sake, but for those who were innocent whose lives were taken unjustly. Sitting there, day in, day out, with nothing else to do but watch the death counts on the news. She created this idea in her head simply because she needed a comfort to know that people who died like that get some kind of justice, some kind of Heaven. I love Candy's character.
I did not sign the permission form for this feels trip.
Ashton Kerr Nor did I friend...nor did I :'(
😂😂😂😢😢😢😭😭😭

Candy & Jeremy eventually meet. Inspiring.
They stayed friends even after what happened
@@gergenthequietmetalhead4226 They both talked about their regret over how that night went (although not to each other) in other episodes, so I like to imagine they ended up trying again.
THANKS FOR THE SPOILER ALERT. LOVELY.

"To die is to find out if humanity ever conquered death"
Got me thinking way to far
It's sad that so many people are taking this episode literally. She's not talking about literal physics, it's metaphors and symbolism intended to depict a struggle to find meaning and cope with the fear of death while retaining a belief in the value of human life. It's a beautiful episode and one of my favorites, I wish more people got it.
well i think people can interpret it as they wish
Badger Bill But its not supposed to be interpreted literally. Remeber when the guy had asked "So you really believe this", she didn't say yes or no, she said "I have to" Its all just a coping mechanism. Its to humamize that people you may see as crazy, stupid, or ignorant due to their beliefs. She knows that what shes saying isnt true, but she has to believe it anyway.
Riley Crump srsly can u explain ur interpretation
I am very much a physicist.
who knows... we can not fathom the possibilities this universe has to offer. We could even only know but the tip of a massive ice-burg, we already know that physics is upended the small the scale we go. The larger we go the more complex mathematics we need to explain the universe, maybe eventually we could travel through time, or observe through time, maybe we will be able to digitally transport consciousness little by little until it is entirely digital. maybe we can eventually escape the heat death of the universe.
I can't believe I'm commenting on a TH-cam video, but here goes.
Obviously the main character understands death isn't scientifically bullshit. She just created a coping mechanism. Instead of religion, it's the belief that we will transcend death using technology and human ingenuity.
I know it's impossible. I just find the thought beautiful. I've lost my mother and the rest of my family way too young, and I don't believe they're in heaven or wherever waiting for me, but it is comforting to think about the idea of meeting them again, regardless of how impossible it is.
Do you really think that anything is impossible in an endless universe in an infinite multiverse?
Jim if there is an infinite number of universes, then it stands to be possible where there is a universe without an infinite number of universes. And just to specify, I mean there is a finite number of universes, just a number far beyond human conception
I appreciate your interest in metaphysics Danny. Wouldn't it be acceptable to equate unfathomably large numbers with infinite by human perception? Even a limited number of universes beyond human conception would each individually contain everything we could ever potentially know and do. That's where you truly go infinite, because the causality of each moment of you live contains an infinite number of potential outcomes, even in what you do after reading this comment.
Edit: Ultimately this is as moot as anything, but perhaps useful enough to expand the potential choices of at least one reader.
Why do you think that is impossible? Yeah, reviving those who died a long time ago doesn't seem achievable at all, but we can prevent any future deaths.
I'm just now reading this reply, and thank you for elaborating
this series is bojack horseman without the animals
Nerdfighter803 holy shit
Nerdfighter803 and the comedy...
I should start watching Bojack Horseman...
Halapecia shaniqua
......or the quality, depth, relatability, complexity of character and story, accurate grasp of the basics of philosophy, reason, logic, semantics, and, of course, that certain.........something.......... special...............🎶🎤
'Right, stop that immediately! No musical numbers allowed here, clear out, ya poof!!........'
{Bonus points for knowing the origin of the (paraphrased) quote at the end of comment.
Movie title, and/or actor/group of actors. Hint: it was pre-1990 AND they're mostly all still alive now!
+DabIMON Sounds like Monty Python.
Not only was that a hit and run but they stole her purse
You know I was thinking about the same thing 😂
Naw, this episode wasn't actually about death, guys. It was about coping with chaos and tragedy in an uncaring universe. This isn't some scientific argument for a man-made heaven, it's about empathising with our shared fear of meaninglessness, (best personified in death,) and how people put into those dire situations will conceive of anything to make sense of senselessness. Like she said, "I basically have to." This is about humanising and empathising with your crazy religious aunt, your best friend who's bonkers about crystals, your mom who's convinced the world will end and stocks up on canned food and bottled water. It's easy to look at that behaviour and those beliefs and label them stupid, born from ignorance and gullibility. It's quite a bit harder to see the desperation behind those faithful eyes. Harder, and maybe more noble.
spehizle dude your just nail it pure and clean could have said it better myself nice one indeed 👍😁😎
spehizle true
Interesting. I'm not sure if that's what the video has actually pulled off, but I would like to see that idea.
i wish this comment had more visibility
dr Strangelove. That's why I gave its a thumbs up.. I think everyone is picking out all the flaws in the logic, which can be done by any high-school freshman. What people are missing is the subtext, the fact that facts mean nothing without foundation and context. In death you can not say that you are going to be granted an "afterlife" anymore than someone could prove you won't. It's meta as fuq but I like the interpretation.
I can hear the "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" music in the background.
I'm getting Bioshock Infinite PTSD... Stop. No, no, no, no no no, no.
Yes.
Creativent same. love the episode and the game
Jumping Tuna no it was will the circle be unbroken. I think that will the circle be unbroken was based of amazing grace.
Anarchy 0224 Just listened to it. They both have a similar melody.
Creativent that's what I thought immediately too. Song went well with this episode
This episode is basically the idea of San Junipero.
AJW I thought about that too! Black Mirror shows a different types of life after death. Even tho it's a dark themed series it still gives hope. The Twilight Zone did the same. Vanilla Sky (Abre Los Ojos is the original) is similar to San Junipero. I wanna believe that death it's just a version of a different life. That we actually cannot die. Death is just a stage to another level. In a way.
Or maybe im thinking too much Black Mirror-ish (:
thegossipswan009 I'm on the sane page with the both of you. I knew it was familiar.
yes!!
@@thegossipswan009 I just accept death and welcome it. Because our existence is equally ludicrous.
oooh baby do you know what thats worth
i know it wouldnt matter and probably my comment wont be seen, but as a Syrian , just, Thank You for touching on our situation
You do matter and you're seen.
She says she isn't interested in religion, and a few sentences later creates her own. One of my favorite definitions of religion is the act of using faith to project your hopes on reality. This is precisely what she does. Couching it in science fiction doesn't change this. She merely substitutes an all-powerful future humanity for an all-powerful God.
You're one of those people that calls atheism a religion, aren't you?
SapphireDragon357 Regardless of whether they are or aren't that type of person, that doesn't change that fact that the comment was right. Granted, I thought it was still pretty clear that the video was talking about established religions, but what Otterway said wasn't wrong. The difference between believing in science and what she described is that she was having faith that future science would figure something out, rather than taking the facts and ideas from past science to form a theory.
........ It would take some twisting to think of atheism as, "using faith to project your hopes onto reality." XD
Ninja, well said. You're not a typical youtube commentator. I still disagree that faith in science, past, present, or future, constitutes a religion, but calling people wrong is not an insult.
jiroumochizuki, I agree, which is why I hate it when people call atheism a religion. They are wrong, and that is what I was implying about Otterway, which was... judgemental and the worst form of sarcasm, and I'm sorry about that, but it wasn't intended as an insult.
I'm a bit caught up in the fact that every comment I see on this video is 'OMG physics, WRONG!' or 'OMG misinformation!' or 'OMG religion!' and nobody is talking about how this is PHILOSOPHICAL discussion, and she's talking about potential, which is not actually any form of energy, of course, but something we want to talk about. What I find so wrong about the original post is that putting your faith in humanity and technology, even if we don't have it yet, even if that means it's currently science fiction, is NOT creating a religion, and to say so is to confuse the difference between religion and belief. Replacing an all-powerful god with all-powerful humanity is exactly what makes it not a religion.
I suppose all this is leading up to is a discussion of semantics I don't really want to have. What I'm saying is that I severely dislike the way the OP said what they wanted to say, but I shouldn't have been an ass about telling them that, and they have every right to say it.
I think that was kind of the point. She says that humans need a shield from the bluntness of reality and created religions to deal with death and that they didn´t have the science yet. Then she goes on to do the same thing thus proving her initial point.
A year later and this is still the most powerful, personal, amazing thing I've ever watched. Please, please know how you've touched so many of us! Thank you!
Two and a half years later, and it's still making me smile-cry! Hope you're out there somewhere, Winston, reading comments and knowing your stuff is as powerful as ever!
3 years later and this still the most powerful, personal, amazing thing I've watched
6 years later and nothing has changed. Incredibly moving and powerful
7 Years, back again... showing this to new people. Reading Winston's Shirley Estar (as a novel now!) and convincing them to read it too. Coming back to this as the core and best "sales pitch" for their work. Still tearing up.
Guys, the writers DO understand the law of conservation and matter, they deliberately chose to take it in a different direction for an interesting narrative rather than scientific accuracy. Like nearly all movies and shows you've ever watched do that same thing but are way more blatant and insulting about it. It is however ironic seeing as how often this channel likes to poke fun at that.
Mark Smith I doubt they really understand it. Because then they would know that at some point all free energy will be gone resulting in the heat death of the universe
Are you trying to say movies are scientifically inaccurate? Are you suggesting that infact leather armor for the most part is bullshit?
Is Spongebob not the most accurate depiction of sealife?
Martin Erhard They're trying to show how humans (especially non-spiritual people who want to be scientific) use what little they know about the universe as a coping mechanism for death.
@@martinerhard8447 heat death isn't the idea that all energy will find evaperate, it's more the idea that all matter will eventually find it's lowest state of entropy so that that nothing other than iron will be able to form. Of course our modern understanding of science is incredible limited, look at proton decay. If that exists we can break entropy
Quantum physics says information CAN'T be destroyed or lost, it must always exist, this includes your consciousness.
All these videos feel like talking half drunk to friends and strangers after a long night of partying but not wanting to go home just yet. You just end up talking and having these deep conversations and I'm here for that, cause those are the best kind :) thank you Cracked!!
ironically, to me, she comes of as the most religious character; she has such strong, rigid opinions and ideologies.
Ana Colada The more intelligent you are, the better you are at making irrational things sound rational via cascades of "logic". Intelligent people can sometimes trap themselves within their beliefs because of how sturdy their cage of logic is.
To be honest, I believe that it is way too early to even guess where we came from, what made us or where everything goes when we all dies. All we can do, is learn. And maybe, just maybe someday, future humans will know the answer.
Perhaps we are not meant to know everything.... and that might be the beauty of life.
Good point. To be honest, I believe that it is way too early to even guess where we came from, what made us or where everything goes when we all dies. All we can do, is learn. And maybe, just maybe someday, future humans will know the answer.
Perhaps we are not meant to know everything.... and that might be the beauty of life.
Ana Colada not religious. Spiritual
Ana Colada the first few sentences immediately Gave that off. I’m just gonna assume the rest is bullshit. Seriously, how stupid are you to think that death has anything to do with the Conservation of energy. Straight up red flag.
"There's an infinite number of realities, Morty! And a few dozen of those, I got lucky and turned everything back to normal! I just had to find one of those realities in which we also happen to both die around this time. Now we can just slip into the place of our dead selves in this reality, and everything'll be fine. We're not skipping a beat, Morty. Now help me with these bodies." - Rick Sanchez
BUT WHEN?!?!!?!?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That whole sequence fucked me up. Can you imagine the sheer existential dread Morty felt?
Think rick and Morty dealt with the topic of death better
“Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody’s gonna die. Come watch TV?”
Those 3 statements are an outstanding encapsulation of existential dread - and I have to fight tears most times that part of the episode plays.
Life is the thing that violates this rule, not death. Death is the default.
Death is the logical consecuence of life
Life is the equal and opposite reaction to death. Or maybe its other way around, who knows?
@@tieflingcorpse9817 I doubt life is the rule of the unverse, everything seems death to me.
I understand what she is trying to say but someone already conqured death and he is the only way to heaven all men make fail the order of the universe their are being above us in the pecking order.
@@samisyed1584 so you think the alternate universes never created what we have now? the universe is already in order. from that comes chaos. but carry on.
Is this woman a philosopher in real life i mean she's the kind of person I could sit down and talk to for hours
Candy is an amazing philosophy bae lol
lazerbeam134 what’s her full name so I can google
Pretty sure the voice actress is in the credits of the video but Candy is fictional lol
She's a stripper
@@BrandyIsadora she's an entertainer
This series is a gem
Yay! They finally met!
I'm wondering if they already knew each other
Jana this isn't like a series they are just characters in a story they don't just have roles they stick too every episode the writers will select roles for each character to set a point like next episode if she is in it she will probably not have a cane
Well she's probably not gonna have the cane forever, her leg's not necessarily completely wrecked, she might make a full recovery eventually :P
I wonder how they first met though
They do stick to their roles, don't they? There's a lot of continuity nods and I haven't seen any serious contradictions, other than Ted who has no friends in the anonymous losers one and then has a best friend since school in another video.
I really liked this, got a lot from it, but from my point of view, humans don't break the rules, we just learned them and got better at playing within them. A bear moves a rock to get through a pass. It's manipulating its environment. Humans just got real good at moving rocks. We're still following all the laws of nature. Maybe there are laws that we haven't discovered yet that would allow all this. The thing about technology and science is that after a certain point, those before that level of advancement could not possibly imagine life after it, so who knows. But for now, we don't, so we have to assume we're right, as terrible as that sounds, logically. And that may very well mean no afterlife.
This one time I had a dream about making the afterlife. I made it so everybody could be happy, but not everybody wants the same thing. So I made multiple different realities, all with different things to do so people don't get bored. Everybody was happy, because I was not a piece of shit who made a hell for people. Even "bad" people came, because they just needed healing to be good people. Then I woke up and realized even if there isn't an afterlife I'd be ok dying.
In the end, nothing matters. There's no real reason to live.
MQ are you still alive 🥺
mattering is self evident. if nothing matters then it doesnt matter that it doesnt matter and is therefore of no relevance whatsoever. all we are left with is if someone or some people care. if they care then it matters to to thm and they will perform action based on that principle, action and reaction are the principle of any equation. it is therefore relevant.
conclusion: everything matters but meaninglessness
sorry for my shit spelling.
I think a lot of people in the comments are missing the point of this episode. I'm pretty sure they're not really trying to make the point that death goes against the laws of nature. I think peeps are getting to hung up on the science aspect, which... yeah it's dumb. But that's not the point. It's an episode about the reaction to death. Trying to rationalise something beyond rationalisation. We don't know what happens when we die. Not really. Maybe there isn't anything. Probably not. But whatever it is, whatever happens, it's beyond comprehension and when faced with the event, we try to rationalise the after-effect however we can. That's the point of this episode. It's someone developing a relationship with death, even if they are wrong. It's not about the science. It's bullshit lingo trying to make sense of the un-make-sensible.
Blame Toby Videos that doesn't excuse anything. There is so much more wrong with this then the science. The person in the video is extremely self absorbed. Her ideas about society are disgusting. I've seen 8 year olds with a better handle on death. People are not special snowflakes, our ideas, the sum of an individual are insignificant compared to the universe. Humanity it self is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. There needs to be less people like this.
It's a CHARACTER, not a person, she's been written to have these flaws, like so many of us do, not to be right or wrong, but to present a human experience and explain it - the point as far as I am aware is that the character finds it difficult to rationalise the loss that death presents, not just hers, but of other people, so to cope she is rationalising death with her theory, which she compares in part to religion and even admits that she knows it's bullshit, but if she didn't have this hope she would go crazy trying to face her own mortality.
Final Synapse how is she self absorbed? I'm honestly curious. I want you to link to a point where she doesn't care about anyone els and only thinks of herself.
well if she was gonna talk about her insights about death and what she feels about her mortality, there is no need to add a clickbait title, a claim early in the video, and scientific concepts that are not directly related to the topic at hand
A. She's not self absorbed. She says that she's not concerned about her death, and then we see a bunch of examples of unnecessary, meaningless deaths.
B. This theory is not impossible. We know that, according to physics, that there's no difference between past, present, future, and that time travel is theoretically possible. We know that artificial realities can be created. We are working on understanding what thought and memories are. We are working on how to insert an actual mind into a virtual reality. With quantum computing, it could be possible to have virtually unlimited space for an artificial reality and the trillions of humans who have/will exist. She's talking about the future. If you want to claim that this is impossible, you have to demonstrate that it's impossible, and you can't do that. I'm not counting on it being true, however. ;)
C. human insignificance relative to the universe is irrelevant to this discussion. It's very significant on a personal level. I can comprehend how small a part of the universe I am, but that doesn't diminish my importance to myself, or the importance of people I care about. Saying that we don't matter, just because we're a tiny part of the whole is just being dismissive of consciousness.
Many of the criticisms that I see are quite obviously from religious folk. They don't like her assertion that we created god(s) and religion in an attempt to explain the unexplainable and to comfort us in the face of death. Regardless of your beliefs, this is certainly a large part of the appeal of religion. It's disingenuous to pretend that it's not.
All in all, I found this to be an interesting proposition and a good thought exercise. I understand that most anything will have criticisms, but if you're really upset by this, then you should take a deep look on why this bothers you so much.
1. Everyone is missing that she says she understands how religions started, and then goes on to say that she "has to believe" for the same reasons. Literally, she makes up a belief that death will be conquered because it helps her deal with innocent people dying.
2. Was that Hank Venture crossing the street?
Please tell me i'm not the only one bugged by the fact that she mentioned the law of conservation of energy, described it with the definition of Newtons 3rd law, and then provided the example of the car crash, a situation which is much better described through the law of conservation of momentum than that of energy.
You're not the only one bugged by it, but it's not the point of the philosophical discussion being brought up.
Kyle Moe yeah holy shit I get that this wasn't actually about science but hearing her butcher these concepts really made me cringe
I think it's done deliberately to point out she doesn't really know what she's talking about, since this is all some desperate dilusion made to not face that when people die, that's the end. The universe isn't "fair".
it was a failed metaphor for me as well. gave up after and minute into the video. didn't expect it to get better.
marcellXcatalyst true
After taking the time to really sit down and rewatch this I feel like this is more about survivor's guilt than anything else
Death is just the equal and opposite reaction to birth.

Jo's Wormstache But the energy of who we are just suddenly vanishes?
It's funny how everyone is taking this too seriously, lashing out on all the "bullshit" she said. I mean, that's the point. Of course it's bullshit: this is her desperate, sorry attempt to make sense of death after her near-death experience. She even said it herself: "[near-dying] makes you crazy," implying that even she is having trouble believing the things she said.
This show portays how beautifully and horribly flawed we human beings are. Her character as a person with an uncommon, peculiar perception of the world was already established since the first episode; at this point, her radical thinking shouldn't come up as a surprise anymore.
Calm down, people. The way you react says a lot more about you than the show.
She even says that people created heaven to cope with death, then goes on to create a man-made, technology base heaven. She even says it's analogous to the religious one and admits they're made to keep people from going mad.
Bookish Blender
I don't think what she's saying is bullshit in any sense of the word. It might not be right but her logic isn't necessarily wrong or flawed. it's only a different perspective on the narrative we call life and death. She could be right after all. Likely? probably not. But if there's only speculation where there's no definite answer, then, there's no reason to cross out potential outcomes
Agreed. I just used it for the convenience and familiarity of the word.
She said it herself. People created religion to cope with the reality of death. She created her own -religion- coping mechanism. People are acting like the makers really believe their dead pets are actually in a farm.
marcellXcatalyst Second Law of Thermodynamic. Snap!
marcellXcatalyst, good use of strikethrough. :)
I've thought a lot about what Candy talks about here, and my retort is that all the love and energy you put into your life doesn't just go away. It's distributed amongst everyone you affected in a some way, both positive and negative. The importance of your life didn't vanish, it was doled out to other people.
I do, however, love the idea that we may be able to retroactively create an afterlife.
That's a really great answer. The energy doesn't go away, it becomes mourning and missing
People are taking this video waayyy to literally. We all know that death is not actually scientifically bullshit, the video is just presenting a nice sentiment that just maybe, they'll be somewhere people can go who lost their lives unfairly.
AwkwardAnonymous The video was too fucking serious then
Ash Tree I found the video in its entirety a metaphor for how self absorbed she is.

Jack James Babey that's a great episode
I was actually going to mention that in my own comment.
The only happy episode in the series.
Me too!!
Can we talk about how fantastic Candy’s voice actor is? She’s able to portray a lot of emotion without crying or getting that weird nasally effect. You really can tell Candy truly believes what she’s saying
This series is one of the deepest and most beautiful things I've ever watched, and every episode makes me cry. I'm like that. Depressed, and anxious. The only girl I've ever loved was murdered, the only boy I've ever loved manipulated me into being someone I didn't want to be. I don't accept or love myself, but that's reality. This show is reality. We relate to characters everywhere, but not like this. Life is shit. Reality and humanity are shit, but this show makes me feel like I'm the not the only one who thinks so.

> The only girl I've ever loved was murdered
I'm very sorry to hear that.
You may want to read a graphic novel called "The Crow". The author, James O'Barr, lost his fiance to a drunk driver. He wrote and illustrated the book as a way of expressing his pain.

I just discovered this series tonight and now I'm sitting here having feelings I never asked to have. Like I got my husband to watch it too and we're having this huge conversation about death and coping now because he's a cancer survivor and I was there with him when he was going through it almost 20 years ago. I wish I discovered this series sooner.
Most in the comments aren't getting the point of this video. It's about how somebody tries to rationalize death from there perspective and with there personal beliefs. It's somebody trying to get past the realization of how meaningless there life is
watchinyourVID Second Law of Thermodynamic. Snap!
Finally! That is EXACTLY what I think about religion and how it was created.
It’s a wayy too simplified idea of religion honestly
A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there’s no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned? - Dr. Manhattan
The "I" in his question is exactly why concern is warranted
Sonofawil Nope. A dead body dies because the structure of the brain becomes damaged. Blood stops flowing, this causes the death of brain cells which is the PRECISE difference between a live body. And a dead one. Big difference. No abstract stuff here.
You can resuscitate a patient with no heartbeat if their brain is still in tact. A person without blood to their brain for many minutes has had too much damage to ever be revived.
Sonofawil his whole story arc in that book is reversing that opinion genious

you're confusing newton's second law with the first law of thermodynamics but I get it lol.
Nick G thank you! And also consciousnesses has nothing to do with Newtonian physics. My guess is her idea is closer to quantum or maybe string theory.
Yeah, not only that but they're forgetting the bit in thermodynamics where all systems are constantly approaching entropy, as well as the fact that emotional value and complexity aren't potential energy, and therefore can be created and destroyed. All in all death makes a lot of sense, and according to everything we can observe, it is the end for the consciousness of the organism.
@@tedbrittain9650 I don't think the writers have an engineer, chemist, or theoretical physicist on staff.
Nick G it actually is the same principle, both of them comment on energy
Equal and opposite reactions is actually Newton's Third Law, not the second. Conservation of Energy is also it's own thing, though the first law of thermodynamics is essentially a more specialized form of the same idea.
Regardless, it's all just pseudoscience in this case as neither of those deals with consciousness or social interactions.
That said, the idea that humanity (or some other species out there) could (or already has) achieved some form of technological immortality and then retroactively applied that to all (sentient?) species of the universe is a far more appealing concept to me than any religion out there. Don't particularly believe it, but at least it doesn't strike me as outright idiocy either.
Although not really scientific, it's an astute observation on how and why, humans might have a difficult time coming to terms with the concept of their own, or anyone else's death. I like this series more and more. It really attempts to dig a level deeper, and show something more than just the subject it baites in the title.
Even if you speed date honestly and effectively, who says you'll meet the right person?
Most of the things you are insecure about is the same things as others, but still we won't tell anyone these things, no matter how common they are.
Depression doesn't feel like a part of yourself, but it is. It's not something you just can opt out of, and it isn't the same for everyone, but it will get you down no matter how much you try and go against it.
Death, and the instant, complete and permanent cognitive shutdown of the human mind is puzzling to us, and one thing is elderly, but if we could bring people back to life, wouldn't we do that tho all those who's life was untimely and unjustly interrupted?
The last video still begs the question of sentience, but it's a reasonable question to make anyways.
The point of the episode is empathy, and how someone needs to logic out their thought process of death for empathetic reasons, rather than for selfish. This is beautiful. The writing makes a point of understanding and respecting how people of various faiths and nonfaiths deal with the burden of local and global empathy for others, while death hangs over their heads.
How the hell can you turn this into something negative? The comments section is disgusting.
Laura J. Meese THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
Someone had to. Thanks much!
People don't like it because spits in the face of both science and religion. It's a fake premise to say "anything that you believe is pointless". I understand how you would like it, but if you look deeper, it's just the same drivel that causes street preachers to condemn people or scientists to mock those of faith... only presented without anyone to contradict them.
I think if you look deeper, you will see that it is a story of how ONE person deals--she even states that she has to, not that anyone else has to. It is open-minded towards any other beliefs. It never states that anything you believe is pointless--gross misunderstanding on your part, dude.
You didn't watch the video well then. Let's take two statements:
"death violates the laws of the universe" - First, this is a ridiculous claim. Second, why say this unless you are trying emphasize how much science fails. It is the platform which they jump off at. They could have also said, "I have an idea... you just have to convince yourself that rational thinking is meaningless" and nothing would have been lost.
"I see how this whole religion thing got started" - This is the second platform they use to change the dialogue. And again, it is stating "for those that believe, your dumb. You only believe these things because you can't rectify your emotions with reality and current knowledge."
Both of these statements miss the point of both ways of thinking. And these two ways of thinking make up 99.999% of all people.
If that wasn't bad enough, the end is even less genuine because it uses both topics that they both insulted to make a solution that is worse than either of the previous ideas.
Again. If you like it, good for you. Just don't expect others to feel the same.
So many salty people in this comment section. I dont understand why everyone is saying what she's saying is bullshit when she says in the video "that's what I believe" It's not like shes stating that thats how it'll definitely be eventually, it's just what she thinks should happen
Don't misuse the word scientifically on the internet , they will crucify you.
Alex Neumann Second Law of Thermodynamic. Snap!
I'm crying because this is literally MY thoughts about death.
Your not alone
me too! never thought others thought the same
Lie down, try not to cry, cry a lot.
I like what they're trying to do here, but wow, this is sophomoric. By that, I mean it literally sounds like the confused ramblings of a college sophomore with one credit in philosophy and zero in physics.
THANK YOU FELLOW HUMAN BEING FOR YOUR VERY ACCURATE RESPONSE WITH WHICH I STRONGLY RESONATE. ADDITIONALLY, I APPLAUD YOUR POSITIVE TONE.
you know whats an exact opposite reaction to birth..... death
That is true
Saying that shows that the story here went over your head dude.
It's not just about the physical action, she said so. At first even I was like "Yeah birth, duh."
She's talking about the history of your life up until death. The dreams you had, the impact you made, the lives you changed. For all the potential and beauty of one life, the world should be weeping or breaking at the death of one innocent person, yet nothing happens. Life just goes in callously and that's where the sadness is.
aaayeyeeee cuz
But you can avoid birth with abstinence, but you could never avoid death. Maybe its mire theoretical
Thats not a reaction, it has no correlation to someones death
I’m watching this in 2023 and wondering where they are now would love to bring this series back!
Two Main Responses to the Video in the Comment Section:
1.) Hmm...Interesting philosophy by someone with a near-death experience. Not accurate on things like physics but still interesting to think about though.
2.) BOOOO!!! TOTALLY WRONG!!! I SMART!!! LOOK HOW SMART I IS!!!
Sadako Yamamoto Okay.
weedongding You No Smart! I Smarted Than Yood!
weedongding it's taking a stupid bullshit fantasy and trying to rationalize by misrepresenting actual science well also calling out religion for doing basically the same thing
I.E. You dumb for believe mythical fantasy I smart for Believe Syfy fantasy
It's not about disagreeing to seem smart, and the video's not even generally interesting. The problem is that it's philosophical premise is being based on a small handful of misunderstood scientific concepts being extrapolated to answer one of the most difficult question our species will ever ask, which is clearly just a panicked attempt by the author to relieve the terror that comes with realizing their own mortality. This video doesn't accomplish anything more than what a drunken discussion between a couple of schmucks would. Whoever wrote this script is very likely a layman in all of the disciplines it shoehorns into this video. I have no clue what Cracked is thinking posting this stuff.
+Victor Murray The first main response isn't secluded to only people who agree with the video, but people who found the video interesting enough to even take time to discuss it. (Why else are you still leaving comments about a crummy video?)
The second response are self-important douchebags who write long dissertations to show off how much they know more than the next guy and talk down to others because they like the smell of their own farts.
So...basically at the root of Candy's hatred and fear of death, in her case, is injustice? Huh... And did everyone forget that this cartoon series is about how people feel, and not meant to be a life guide? Let's calm down a little...
Fabalocious Dee 🙌
"the law of conservation of energy, meaning for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction"
no
Ironically, that there is a good example of "people not understanding how things work so they make some some bullshit to make sense of it", something she also talked about
which law is that?
wasnt that one of newtons laws? like the third one maybe...
SonoftheWay35 - It's Newton's third law of motion. I.e. you cannot push on a thing without in turn feeling a force pushing back. Conservation of energy is a different thing. Related, and actually more fundamental, but different. And Newton didn't know about it back in the 17th century.
Also something people keep skipping over about the law of conservation of energy, is that it only applies within a closed system.
And more importantly is the concept of entropy; the natural tendency of energy to in essence disperse and move towards less useful states. The energy may not be destroyed, however it can transform to a state that is no longer useful or conductive towards life.
Suggesting the concept of death as unnatural is also absurd when you remember we already have a respected theory for the "death" of the universe itself, heat death.
I just realized that they are no longer as compatible as suggested in the first episode because the person candi has become is radically different from who she was.
people really didn't Get this short, it seems like
ikr. Everyone crying 'omg she got physics wrong' and 'omg misinformation' and nobody is discussing that it's a philosophical video, not scientific or religious.
There are no bad lines of thought, and of course thinking about death is not original, but some of the ideas presented here are. Calling things unoriginal has lost all meaning in today's society, as it's all been thought of and discussed before. There are simply new perspectives on things.
Throwing that out, it's really NOT a good argument, and the science IS all wrong. Of course death doesn't violate the laws of nature. One might assume the author, being of reasonable intelligence, knew that before making such an outrageous statement. Why then would you think that an appeal to incorrect science was an attempt to lend validity to this argument, or that the argument even reflects the author's opinions?
Nowhere in this video do they even ATTEMPT to find meaning in 'life and death and randomness and order' nor is anything she said based on her own near-death experience, but instead on the disturbing state of the world and all of the OTHER lives lost while she was forced to sit there healing.
The section based on incorrect science leads into a discussion of the possibly limitless potential of humanity to find solutions to problems. Yes, we do have higher brain function and may choose solutions outside of our 'nature.' Yes, we do fear death above all. Yes, society is a social construct created to fulfill our needs. From this point on in the video, it's philosophical SPECULATION about the enduring hope for humankind. We want to conquer death, so maybe someday we will. And if we do, perhaps someday we'll find a way to reach back and save those that died before the tech was created. All of this leads to the true point of the video: "To die is to find out if humanity ever conquers death." If you die and nothing happens, we don't. If you die and wake up in the future, whether it be through cloning, brain transplant, cyborgism, simulation, what have you... then we have.
Of course all of this is just a subjective view of the video from my perspective, and there are as many valid discussions about it as there are people that watch it, if they're willing to think past 'it was just stupid' and find their own meaning. I wish you luck. I'd be happy to discuss your finding with you when you're ready.
@ paulsan2112
Thank you for saying what I thought about this, but worded better then I could say it.
" it's a philosophical video, not scientific or religious."
That title, though.
The video is about the complicated and desperate emotions of the main character, everyone already figured out that it's not philosophically or scientifically accurate. The part that we're getting that you're not is the emotional and emphatic aspect, to have known that animal desperation in the face of oblivion, and that's something I can't help you with.
the science was probably inaccurate but the ending justified candy's desperation, so in terms of the narrative I approve.
The end really punched me in the gut
Audra Hawkins Then you are far too easily manipulated.
Robert Comeau Or I live in one of the places mentioned. So it got personal as fuck. Chill out
"Muh feelz they is real"
nope. easily manipulated it is.
For every honest confession of ones feelings there are at least two people who must try and point out their superiority to you.
It has officially been two years since I first saw this episode. And I still think about it all the time. The episodes before this one more good, but this is the reason why I tell everybody to check out this show. It just sticks with you.
i could be one of the commenters complaining about how all the characters are hipsters or how they don't understand how death or conservation of energy works. i could be that commenter...or i can have fun and comment on how amazing that cartoon characters booty is. Seriously. Just gorgeous.
I don't care what anyone else on here says or has been saying, I just want to say that I love these videos. I love everything about the concepts and getting people to think differently. I discovered these today and I watched all five currently up, and in just that span of time, it's helped calm anxieties and really get my brain working in a different way. So thanks for making something I find worthwhile.
Please don't stop making these, SubNormality/PeopleWatching. They're a good think.
for a second i thought this said "Please stop making these" and i just stared at my screen for a minute.
Krus you dont need these to think deeply.
The belief that in time humans can solve all their own problems and meet their own needs, up to and surpassing immortality, using clever but rational means is called humanism. It is taking the idea of God and religion and replacing it with humanity and science, and it has existed for centuries.
Mankind is a People Who have tried to kill each other right from the start of our exsistens. And destroying religion is not going to chance that. Thats how life works.
+David Po Thanks for commenting this, I never knew there was a word for it!
I learn more in the youtube comments section that I ever did in the education system.
and is a fundamentally flawed philosophy, with "science" and "cleverness" creating at least as many problems as they have solved. there is no mankind without nature, and now we are seeing the consequences of 10000 years of breaking the soil and 200 of accelerated industrial catastrophe. we would do well to have some humility, and take our place within our ecosystem rather than trying to dominate and subdue it based on some false notion of superiority.
And every time we have tried to reemplace God, we end up becoming devil.
This video gave my chills
her voice "fuuuuuucccccking" kills me
Well... that made me think about my great grandma and grandpa dying when I was four years old. If there is a future like that, I’ll wanna see them.
Cos the entropy of the universe spontaneously increases, killing off a human and putting a stop to all that pesky order is actually super energetically favourable.
That's entropy.
Entropy contributes to the free energy of a system
That's a good point - life overall results in an increase in entropy in order to sustain itself. Although I think the isolated process of killing a person would cause an increase in entropy. I'm not really sure which would be more favourable of a situation, a dead person or a living person? My understanding of entropy is probably really wrong haha
Well imma preach ya sumethin'.
You don't die when you die. And all the experience, the social interactions, the ideas you had aren't lost. They're still around, evolved as they've influenced people's lives in tiny or big ways, with tiny or big repercussions. The only way you would really die is if everyone, everywhere, would completely deny your existence or deface the memory/consequences of what you did in such a scale that whatever you did would be completely unrecognizable (but then again, factually, your influence would still remain anyway).
Just in case though, it's wise to keep an eye on historians. Sneaky, sneaky historians.
Danny Hefer spot on!!
Ooh, yeah new people watching.
(Watches Video)
Christ on sale... That got fucking dark... I wonder what other people thought of it...
(Reads butthurt comments about literal larrys inability to decipher metaphors and nihlist wank sessions)
Oh yeah, TH-cam comments suck. Sorry I wondered.
Kenneth Holden
There are the people who are open mindedly thinking about this episode and people who call bullshit whenever they disagree and it's ridiculous
Kenjamin Garnett "Life doesn't fucking matter princess snowflake get over it" or "COMPARING THE LAWS OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY TO BRAIN CHEMICALS EXCHANGING IS BEYOND ENOUGH TO TRIGGER ME!!1!" No sir, fuck those people. That is missing the point of all of this video and if it hurts them so much they can go away.
This year, nearly six months ago i was hit by a bus. I was lucky, i didnt even get a fracture but i did break the bus's window with my head. I was conscious the whole time except for the exact moment of the impact. The next four hours were the absolute worst of my life. Im a doctor and i was terrified the whole time of the bad things that could happen to me, not only of dying.
Being 26 years old i can tell you though, that at the verge of death, all i thought about was that i didnt say goodbye to my mum, that i didnt say goodbye to my friends.
In retrospective, i realize that i was sad and scared of not being able to tell my people how much i loved them one more time. There was this possibility of thinking "oh no, i regret this or that", or "im too young to die", or whatever. But i felt love for the people around me.
Do what you want in life. Surround yourself with people who make you proud, whom you'd admire, people who make you feel dearly loved, who make you happy.
We only have control over what we do in this life.
I'm not even religious, but the sheer intolerance of people in the comment section is depressing as hell.
Is it a completely rational argument? From the conservation of energy perspective, no. But the sheer arrogance of people to assume that we can categorically disprove the existence of an afterlife is ridiculous. By its very nature, it is supernatural - that is, outside the laws of the universe.
I personally feel that we can't know for certain one way or the other till after death - either its a cessation of consciousness or there's something more - but we should live our lives under the assumption that it's all we will ever have.
I don't fault people for feeling otherwise - everyone needs their own way of coping with the sheer shittiness of life - and if you try and take that away from people, you're a goddamn asshole and a self-righteous prick. That goes for people on both sides of the aisle.
Thuazabi ppl are triggered yeh. Let me tell you why. This is an extremely self absorbed point of view. Society doesn't exist they way it is presented here. And it's offensive to present these ideas in such a matter of fact way. If you use premises that any normal person wouldn't agree with to spin an argument it's generally what your gonna get.
Final Synapse What way is society presented here?
why are you so intolerant of intolerance? rude.
What intolerance? All I'm seeing is people griping about people complaining about it! Lol!
Hey, ain't most of everything bull anyway?
Really made me think. I can sort of understand my religious parents now.
Guys of course scientifically it doesn't make sense, I think that's the point. She's just trying to do like everyone in the moment of grief does… Which is try to make sense of death. I for one thought it was beautiful, even though I know it's not factually true, most things that we experience can be classified as that. I just love the fact that humans can create something in their minds to help them continue on their journey of life, it shows how conscious we are, and how we continue growing not only as individuals but as a species.
whoever is cutting onions in the back, STOP
Death is a good friend of mine and he was very offended by this video.
Tell him I am deeply sorry and would like to know if he has seen James?
So this is where all the cool suicides were hanging out (no pun intended) and to think I was sure I would find you all at Ted Talks about depression.
This fucked up my whole world. Thank you
There is a broader point being made guys, from the viewpoint of someone who just spent a lot of time facing death.
This video continues the high-quality production and ups the thought factor. Great work as always keep going.
"I basically have to."
That hit me.
Think of human consciousness ending as a water puddle in the hot sun. If a water puddle disappears in the sun, it doesn't mean it's a violation of physics and the water simply was wiped from existence, it just means that the matter is in a different state. This is the first law of Thermodynamics. It's "The Law of Conservation of Mass Energy". Come on people.
"The conservation of energy is an absolute law, and yet it seems to fly in the face of things we observe every day. Sparks create a fire, which generates heat-manifest energy that wasn’t there before. A battery produces power. A nuclear bomb creates an explosion. Each of these situations, however, is simply a case of energy changing form. Even the seemingly paradoxical dark energy causing the universe’s expansion to accelerate, we will see, obeys this rule.
The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a closed system must remain constant-it can neither increase nor decrease without interference from outside. The universe itself is a closed system, so the total amount of energy in existence has always been the same. The forms that energy takes, however, are constantly changing."
www.scientificamerican.com/article/energy-can-neither-be-created-nor-destroyed/
Death is not scientifically bullshit
That water is quite SIMPLE. You Bresha on the other hand are a complex set of information, electrical charges located on your brain, self aware and with memories of recent events, older ones, and natural reflexes. Information. Kinda like a PC. The most important part of your personal PC is not the harddisk or processor or rams. Is the information you store. passwords, documents, internet history. That information is what makes your PC unique and yours. Diferent entirely from any PC all around the world. This video is about loss of information. Not necesarly death but random death. Complex humans beings killed by accident. and yes coping and fighting against this has been a quest for mankind since they picked up a bone to stab a beast threatening their loved ones.
Water is a physical element. You can touch it, create it, measure it, manipulate it. Conscioness is not a physical element. We can't "see" it.
This reminds me of what The Master/Missy did on Doctor Who.
Most of the people hating on this video are only doing so because they don't understand that it's not LITERALLY saying that death violates laws of physics. It obviously doesn't. The character is simply using it as an allegory. I guess our schools have failed us. These people who know one of the simplest facts about science think they can say a whole video is stupid just because it makes a claim that wasn't meant to be taken literally.
John Daniels or some thoughtful commentary on a topic that none of us are experts on...
Nailed it. Thank you.
What they miss is that we are not born and we cannot die. You cannot kill energy. We just take different form.
Death is the reaction to life
Interesting theory, but not technically true. There are (is?) species of jellyfish that simply revert back to a younger form when they grow old, becoming effectively immortal. Death is a reaction to damage to the body causing a shutting down of life systems which is not necessarily a guarantee. In almost every instance of life on this planet, that damage is caused indirectly by time, but it's that 'almost' that disproves everything.
SapphireDragon357 But if everything has an equal OR opposite reaction. The life of a jellyfish being renewed at its end is the EQUAL reaction. Death for most other things is the OPPOSITE reaction.
Is apologist the new word for being polite and not insulting the people I'm debating with. I'm SORRY I was too busy with the science and philosophy to keep up with the semantics.
Oh, also it's flawed logic to state that just because all the jellyfish that have died so far have died, that they all will. The point is that it is theoretically possible that any one of these jellyfish could live forever, or at least until the heat death of the universe. (And who knows, maybe we'll prevent that, too.) Therefore, it is an actual exception to the posited rule (which doesn't actually exist yet, it's just a debate, buddy). This particular bit of science is quite separate from the video as well, so perhaps I have your permission to continue debating here while still maintaining that the video was not scientific? I can multitask. How about you?
SapphireDragon357 All of science is kinda flawed. Really science is just making things understandable, even though just because we think we understand, doesnt mean we know. Science doesnt necessarily know, it understands. Really arguing over a scientific law is arguing over semantics because no one actually knows. Philosophy is literally just seeing things from a different angle from someone else. To argue philosophy is to argue the same thing but from different perspective. If you are seeing the same exact dog as someone else and you stare at its asshole and someone else stares it in the eyes, you see something different, but you still see a dog, so it doesnt matter your perspective. So in conclusion, science and philosophy ARE semantics. So you are too busy with semantics to keep up with semantics. Good job.
Wow! Again you take an incredibly hard topic to discuss and make it understandable and present it in an amazing way. Thank you.
I love this! Give People Watching it's own channel 😭
I love how Candy's cane is a candy cane lol.
To be honest, I didn't like her use of science at first.
Also, I used to think like her, as a kid, I thought about all those people that died in history, the "important" ones that shaped countries and the unimportant ones that were forgotten. How could they just disappear?
I felt sad just imagine every person's story, like her in this video. But as I learnt science, I realised that we are nothing but a bunch of atoms combined to form an organism, we are just our bodies, nothing is really of value inside a human body, we are matter and we consume energy. There is nothing magical about our consciousness (we cannot even describe it precisely )
Christopher A We cannot describe it precisely. Isn't that interesting? What if there's more to it and all we need is time and more advacements in technology in order to dive further? Perhaps consciousness is somewhat collective or experiences are stored/transferred through DNA.
Of course, not making a definite claim. But it's great to be open to the idea.
We cannot describe it precisely. YET * I forgot that word. Yeah, i think that with enough technology we will see further. Perhaps in 200 years, we discovered what consciousness is.
The problem is, its not bad writing. There is no writing. Your thoughts, feelings, memories and experience does not amount to anything. That's what death is all about.
This honestly sounds better in my head but... there has to be a meaning for this. There honestly is. I know it. Some meaning. This isn’t for no reason. Everything has a reason. It has to. We at least have to believe that. Like people don’t make movies for no reason. And there is a point to making them. Even if you only watch them once. They are in your memory, somewhere. Forever. And it could all mean something after you die. You don’t know. I don’t know. No one knows. Everyone is just guessing. It’s one giant leap of faith honestly...
This was a brilliant slice of humanity - an exploration of how a person might manufacture a way to cope with the horror of existence - presented as an emotionally moving vignette.
The comments, however, are an examination of how literal idiots, devoid of imagination or empathy, can invent a strawman argument in order to rage against a video they completely failed to comprehend. Sigh.
If they didn't want to be called out, then they shouldn't have been so wrong. :P
Really, it's a failure on the part of the video creators if they were unable to convey their message in a way that didn't lead to people paying more attention to their framing.
Jennifer Reitz Agreed.
This hit home for me. I've been intensely depressed the past two years, not about my own pointless existence, but the immense pain of those that have pointlessly died around me. People who did far more meaningful things. Heck, people who did far less. It's a lot to think about.
the comments section is full of people completely missing the point of the video
What is it?
Internet logic 101: If someone doesn't like something you do, assume they just didn't get it. Make sure you don't even attempt to explain it.
Sorry. This video is just a person who was forced to live with the reality of death for a while. She admits that her thinking is entirely out of necessity, because she needs to believe in SOMETHING(anything). We can usually get away with not thinking about it, but she couldn't, stuck in a hospital bed with nothing to do but watch the news(oh dear god, poor soul) This is one of the few people watching episodes that isn't really about an idea, but about a person. The video makes it quite clear that it's not trying to push her beliefs about the laws of physics or whatever.
It's easy though for anyone who has a basic understanding of the laws of physics to know those beliefs are don't make any sense and it rubs people the wrong way and the fact that she isn't simply pontificating but instead using some psuedo logic similar to the logic of a flat earther (if any real flat earthers exist or is it a joke I don't know). But I think part of a lot reactions are more visceral reaction to what can be felt as weakness. Everyone thinks about death, sometimes feels lack of meaning some come to terms with it, some continue grappling. Most I would assume put it aside as you say, otherwise I can't understand how most walk around everyday as deeply invested as they seem to be about their lives. But I think for the people who think about it it's a knee-jerk reaction to a weak, dumb answer, somebody's logical mind folding in the face of fear, like she has never thought deeply and all of the higher functions of the mind melt in the face of everyday existential contemplation.
DeTruthful Well she is a fictional stripper, so there is that.
When I saw the news up close flash on screen I was actually in tears. Maybe it was the fact that these were all real events that happened but yeah that definitely hit me hard, goddamn. This is just too real
That end sting still gets me sobbing. One of those were on my street. Love these videos, still revisit them. Hoping they come back in some form, even if it’s not through Cracked, they’re always thought provoking.
I had a major heart surgery back in 2017. Nothing to fret about, it was coming for 20 years and I just went under and that was it.
But while doing recovery in the ICU... I had only one news channel and one lifestyle channel going on in loop to pass the time. And it was march 22.
The terrorist attack in London made me feel like life was so fucking senseless
This is deep. I have spent a considerable amount of time on the subject of death and human consciousness as well. As far as I can tell, our body acts as a carriage for our brains. Essentially, think of your brain as a type radio designed to tune into various frequencies. Light, sound, motion. All of which have specific wave-lengths. I believe that our consciousness resides on a wavelength and the brain in out body tunes into this wavelength. Essentially, when you die, your wavelength will continue until it finds another "radio".
Squishy Tree Fiish it makes sense , both energy and matter cannot be destroyed
I just found this series. It has saved me, it makes me feel real. This has helped me more that any specialist could. Just knowing, other people. Thinking and even taking that much, to animate...Thank you
People of youtube, i don't know what made you think that, but this series isn't about science. even a 5 year old can tell you that it's about someone trying to deal with death. simple
Afonso Oliveira yeh but if u use such an ideas to start your thought it's generally perceived that your gonna end up in a worse spot then u started. Stupid + stupid = even more stupid. Plus this is pretty self absorbed point of view, society just doesn't work like that.
Final Synapse but how is it self absorbed though?
