You are actually lucky you get to see the original title. For me, TH-cam thinks it has to translate many titles including this one. And I can't seem to disable that. Unfortunately the translation is more often than not just garbage :/ Plus: Even if the title was translated correctly, the video is not. So if I couldn't understand the title in the first place, why even send me here under false pretense? What I'm trying to say is, I have no idea what the title of this video is...
@@Shrek40K "Asshole" was a slang term that was generally used as a derogatory and offensive term to describe a person who behaves in a rude, inconsiderate, or unpleasant manner. It is often used to refer to someone who is intentionally disrespectful, mean-spirited, selfish, or lacks empathy towards others. The term is considered vulgar and impolite in most contexts, and its usage was generally discouraged in formal or polite conversations.
god was an idea of a being that's has control over reality, made the universe, and built mankind in it's image but if god was a real thing they really fucked up by doing that
Can we take a moment to appreciate the quality of these videos? Every time I watch one of them I feel a certain sense of euphoria. You are amazing my dear British cat loving turtle.
I swear I've watched this video at least 5 times, and now rewatching it again I'm crying *again* on the “was” part. This is truly a masterpiece, space turtle, I love you and can't thank you enough for what you’re doing
Ben Warner sorry to hear that. Some people are lucky and have a great family and some are not so lucky, but no one has to endure their family forever. You can move out eventually and hopefully find meaning and acceptance in other people. Don’t put up with bullshit!
I have watched this video at least 10 times. I tear up at the end, every time. I can't help stopping what I'm doing and just... sitting there, absorbing the majesty. You're an amazing writer, I just finished the fifth science. It's really good, and interesting. I love the concept of external consciousness. 10/10. I love you!
Do a quick google search on exurb1a and tell me your thoughts on the accusations he is receiving on rape, violence and sexual assault. He has been running from the police for over a year now, I don't think making videos will ever be a problem.
@Jane Doe thankfully, most oils are not metabolised by the body, they get in, then out. But your worry about allergies is correct, someone can get seriously sick from it, if there werent any already.
This feels like a movie. Everything is building to one of the most beautifully constructed masterpieces I've ever experienced. I WANT this to be a movie. Misery was. It is the hardest hitting titles I've ever read in my life. I've seen this video 10's of times over the last few years, and for some reason, this time, when the end segment of 'Was' was broken down, I broke into tears.
never, ever, ever has a youtube video brought me closer to a real tear. Actually probably legitimately one of if not the best piece of writing i’ve ever seen on the internet
I hadn't watched this in a long time but it used to make me feel serene and calm, especially towards the end. At the beginning of this year I started HRT and I felt a bit down today so I decided to watch some old feel good videos. As the end of the video came along I found myself erupting into tears in a way I can't remember doing since I was a kid. It served as a reminder in what have been difficult personal times that we don't know the future, and a lot is uncertain, but there is always bloody-minded determined optimism and that is a very powerful thing. Thank you.
I know right, such unrelenting optimism directed towards our future is rare to see presented at all on TH-cam, much less as intelligently as it has been portrayed here.
"Exurba was a prodder of existential dread, a man who lived month by month, stirring up the misery and wonder within his followers on the world wide web..." Imagine reading that in the future. I would cry.
Wow! I've been wondering for months what had been missing from my life; but it took a random TH-cam recommendation to find it. How could I have forgotten about Toffifee?
Exurb1a, you are a master of eliciting the strangest and most euphoric emotions. Each of your videos makes me both laugh diabolically and cry with joy and optimism. Your ideas are beautiful and your ability and drive to share them with the world is beautiful. You're a wonderful human being. Thank you for what you do.
Imagine how horifying the idea of misery would be to a society that eradicated it. Like, you're sad? All the time??? Awful, horrifying, what the heck? Sure glad that doesn't exist anymore
This Video goes to the cemetery of your hopes, digs out the corpses, takes samples of DNA, goes back to the lab, removes all genetic imperfections, enhances positive traits 10x and brings all of them back to life! PS: Hopefully, with no side effects :D
the part of natural immunity from viruses and bacteria developed over millions of of co-existence is not even considered when messing with the genetic code frankenstein. great video for a surefire way to wipe out all species from the planet. please get some clue before proposing such a thing in order to not feeling bad occasionally.
It wouldn't really be "you" they bring back to life though would it? As you said, they'd take a sample of your DNA, not all of it. Meaning the rest of the DNA is produced from somewhere else. So what they're doing is creating a perfect copy of you, pretending that it's you. But it isn't you. It's a copy of you. It kind of reminds me of his video on teleporters.
@@yummydragon8533 what if you were dead and then regain awareness of the new body? You would know that it was you, but no one else could probably say the same. Kind of like one of the theories of teleportation. As your atoms are broken apart and transported to a new location, can anyone confirm with certainty that this newly created body houses your original awareness? Only you would know, or not, as you may be dead.
@jeffmarton9224 hence why scientists are being extremely careful lmao. We already have the tech, that's a fact. They are just working on making it as low risk as possible which is gonna take very long, but doesn't change the fact that this process will likely save billions of lives. Yeah it's obviously risky as fuck but thats why it's in the hands of the smartest of us.
If I'm ever woken up early from a broken statis pod on an interstellar shuttle and can't get back to sleep I hope the interactactive ship A.I. is modeled after exurb1a
What an amazing video. Thank you for uploading! I believe that misery, like all other mental states regardless needs to exist. When the time comes for humanity to modify itself, a little bit of misery still has to remain. How can you know happiness without experiencing sadness? By the same token, how can you be content, without first experiencing misery? Our mental state would go fully whack without this kind of checks and balances
Everytime I watch your videos, I enter a weird state of philosophic euphoria. You make some of the most interesting and original content on TH-cam. Keep it up!
Sometimes, the only thing keeping me from ending it all is the possibility that if I stay alive long enough, I may one day exist in a future like this.
Let me start my critique by saying that no other singular channel on youtube occupies more slots in my favorites playlist than you, no other channel has made me experience such a vast and powerful array of emotions, and it’s wonderful. That being said, you really should have let the silence after you read the future definition of misery persist for about 10 seconds or so longer before you jumped into the book thing.
I'm thinking the exact same thing. I've been on TH-cam for longer than I should have been and in all these years I don't think I've ever come across a channel with videos this powerful. Coming from someone not particularly emotional at all
Exurb1a, I know you’ll never read this. I’ve never met you, probably never will, and to be honest, I’m not even sure what your given name is. I’m sure I could find it with some judicious googling, but I kind of like the abstraction of you as a TH-camr rather than the concrete version of you as a person. Never meet your heroes as they say. That I’ll being said, I wanted to, no, I was compelled to write this. The end of this video, the swelling music, the sublime visuals, the cacophony of contrasting voice overs all culminating in the quiet but incredibly powerful sentence beginning with “misery WAS...” is one of the most powerful and moving things I’ve ever had the privilege to enjoy. I’ve been feeling like real shit lately. I’ve always been depressed, and I periodically go through more intense depressive episodes from time to time, but right now I’m in the midst of one of the worst mental shit storms I’ve yet had to endure. I feel like now that I have discovered the truth. That I have discovered life’s perfect equilibrium. And that equilibrium is pure unbridled misery. But your simple suggestion that one day a dictionary might include a passage that starts with “misery was...” not only gave me a vague hope for an unseen future generation, but a concrete hope for a near future that I may one day experience. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am sitting here on my bed weeping uncontrollably, not just because of this hope, but on a more aesthetic level, I think of the possibility, not too remote, that I may have killed myself last night, which I was seriously considering doing. Had I done that, if nothing else, I would have never got to experience the near religious euphoria I felt when watching this video. Thank you so, so much.
sorry, I'm not Exurb1a, but I just wanted to say please don't kill/ hurt yourself. You're right, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just open your eyes and you will see all the good in the world, all the good in you.
I just discovered your channel, got to say cheers mate. Really good delivery , nice selection of subjects, self deprecating humor, decent editing too. Keep up the good work.
The end gave me goosebumps, I wish that in a few years all diseases will be defined in “was” and not “is”, and I’m very glad you defined misery as one of them, this is truly a masterpiece and I’m thrilled for your book to arrive!
The presentation of your videos are outstanding. The soundtrack and visuals match together so well and of course even if you don't have the voice of Morgan Freeman your writing/speech is the best part. It's sophisticated subjects yet you turn it simple so some of us dimwits can understand and you add humor and analogies to make it more coherent. I genuinely enjoy your videos, such high quality.
Dang that ending was something else "Misery was-" That honestly made me smile a bit and probably almost made me shed a tear This is probably the most inspired I've been from watching a video (which isn't even supposed to cheer you up in the first place, I think)
Hey, just in case you'd like it, here's a link to the music. I stumbled on it by accident, and hearing it immediately made me come and watch this video again! Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/qrTB2y7bRT4/w-d-xo.html

I am in fucking awe at how good you were at tying together the ending of the video in a satisfying way. The way that the title doesn't really make sense in the beginning to when you get hit by the huge realisation at the end to the build up of that realisation. I had already watched this video before a while ago and knew what was going to happen, but that being the case I still started to fucking cry at the end. It was multiple minutes ago since I saw that but I'm still crying right now when writing this comment. It is absolutely insame how well you made that...

@@FonteneleNXT wat Edit: did some minor digging and I see what you're talking about. I believe it, but I'm not going to unsubscribe. I'll probably pull my patreonage, but I don't believe abstaining from watching his videos would have any effect apart from myself no longer watching his videos.
your videos have such a beautiful meaning under a amazingly comical approach. Probably one of the most unique video types on youtube. No one does what you do, or at least as well you do it. honestly an amazing way to get important things across while keeping the viewers entertained.
Felt like the "was" sequence followed by the white light washed over my pain and gave me hope for a future where I can say I "was" just sad for a bit. Maybe we're not at the stage where we can just banish Misery in general, but watching this video gives me strength to deal with it over and over at least.
You must really hate trains. Edit: I just finished the video, and I just don't think you get enough credit for these masterpieces. Each one of your videos has forced out of me an emotion I have either never felt before, or haven't felt in a long time. You explore each of them in such a way that is remarkable and unique, with no equal on TH-cam or even in life. I truly think you have an gifted viewpoint on the world, and while people on your comments regularly say "time for my existential crisis" and hone in on your depressing side, it is rarely mentioned how individual they make us feel. I feel the contrast between the start and the end of your videos is just truly amazing: this one started off as a pessimistic outlook of how with the few Godlike powers humans have already, it seems inevitable that we will abuse this newfound science to further our own self destruction. By the end, you focused on the individualistic nature of humanity and how we strive to eradicate diseases, regret, and misery: with a 'roundhouse kick'. I don't actually know your real name, but exurb1a, if you're reading this: thank you for putting a truly different spin on the everyday pessimism or optimism of the modern day. You make my day every time you upload, and I'm sure as hell going to buy your book!
Antivaxers WERE a group of morons who thought they could understand science but couldn't and their lack of understanding combined with their need to feel special caused the return of diseases which were previously almost eradicated. The movement died when the brainless cunts were rightly rounded up and forced to live in a colony in Antarctica. The colony was eventually wiped out by disease.
Antivaccine believers were a group of people based in a antivaccine idea that was based in total biases and no scientific propositions. Eventually, like flat earth believing people, they gradually diminished, thanks to the evolution, who took care of those who opted for no vaccines and were eventually isolated from the society, because of the risks they represented, or the human knowkedge of generations, who by achieving more knowledge, got better and greater scientific knowledge and abandoned old superstisions based on their shadows of fear, which they discovered, were nothing at all.

@@jeffmarton9224 ok. :)
It wouldn't really be "you" they bring back to life though would it? As you said, they'd take a sample of your DNA, not all of it. Meaning the rest of the DNA is produced from somewhere else. So what they're doing is creating a perfect copy of you, pretending that it's you. But it isn't you. It's a copy of you. It kind of reminds me of his video on teleporters.
@@yummydragon8533 what if you were dead and then regain awareness of the new body? You would know that it was you, but no one else could probably say the same.
Kind of like one of the theories of teleportation. As your atoms are broken apart and transported to a new location, can anyone confirm with certainty that this newly created body houses your original awareness? Only you would know, or not, as you may be dead.
@jeffmarton9224 hence why scientists are being extremely careful lmao. We already have the tech, that's a fact. They are just working on making it as low risk as possible which is gonna take very long, but doesn't change the fact that this process will likely save billions of lives.
Yeah it's obviously risky as fuck but thats why it's in the hands of the smartest of us.

I believe that misery, like all other mental states regardless needs to exist. When the time comes for humanity to modify itself, a little bit of misery still has to remain.
How can you know happiness without experiencing sadness? By the same token, how can you be content, without first experiencing misery?
Our mental state would go fully whack without this kind of checks and balances

How can something be funny and sad at the same time

Sad, funny and beautiful at the same time=exurb1a
British humor my friend
I've watched this too many times to count, but every time he gets to the 'was' part i tear up. Every time.
See you guys again in May
Of 2023
quality > quantity
Ikr but wait we’ve had so much content recently relatively
optimistic much?
yeah, see ya then buddy
This is the content I subscribed for... I mean, I understood like half of it, but it was still beautiful.
Let me start my critique by saying that no other singular channel on youtube occupies more slots in my favorites playlist than you, no other channel has made me experience such a vast and powerful array of emotions, and it’s wonderful.
That being said, you really should have let the silence after you read the future definition of misery persist for about 10 seconds or so longer before you jumped into the book thing.
Thought exactly the same
That silence was too good to break
That silence brought me to tears
I'm thinking the exact same thing. I've been on TH-cam for longer than I should have been and in all these years I don't think I've ever come across a channel with videos this powerful. Coming from someone not particularly emotional at all
This is by far one of the best videos on TH-cam, no matter what I always find myself coming back here for a rewatch
The moment he said "Misery was" I just teared up. Wtf
Me too bro
so did I
Dude it happens almost every time
It always gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it
this but for the video "we are the last humans left."
I almost shed a tear when I saw an exurb1a video in my subscription box.
And two videos from CGP Grey on the same day!
It's a portent. Probably for the end of the world.
And Its almost 18 minutes
Exurb1a, I know you’ll never read this. I’ve never met you, probably never will, and to be honest, I’m not even sure what your given name is. I’m sure I could find it with some judicious googling, but I kind of like the abstraction of you as a TH-camr rather than the concrete version of you as a person. Never meet your heroes as they say.
That I’ll being said, I wanted to, no, I was compelled to write this. The end of this video, the swelling music, the sublime visuals, the cacophony of contrasting voice overs all culminating in the quiet but incredibly powerful sentence beginning with “misery WAS...” is one of the most powerful and moving things I’ve ever had the privilege to enjoy.
I’ve been feeling like real shit lately. I’ve always been depressed, and I periodically go through more intense depressive episodes from time to time, but right now I’m in the midst of one of the worst mental shit storms I’ve yet had to endure. I feel like now that I have discovered the truth. That I have discovered life’s perfect equilibrium. And that equilibrium is pure unbridled misery. But your simple suggestion that one day a dictionary might include a passage that starts with “misery was...” not only gave me a vague hope for an unseen future generation, but a concrete hope for a near future that I may one day experience. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I am sitting here on my bed weeping uncontrollably, not just because of this hope, but on a more aesthetic level, I think of the possibility, not too remote, that I may have killed myself last night, which I was seriously considering doing. Had I done that, if nothing else, I would have never got to experience the near religious euphoria I felt when watching this video.
Thank you so, so much.
sorry, I'm not Exurb1a, but I just wanted to say please don't kill/ hurt yourself. You're right, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just open your eyes and you will see all the good in the world, all the good in you.
His name is Alex
Hang in there... I'm sure everyone who watched it felt that same near religious euphoria... Without downs, we wouldn't know what the ups felt like.
Alex McKechnie
One day at the time brother... One day at the time and you could say one day misery was....

If genetic engineering puts "love was" in the history books I'd rather keep misery than tamper with any of it.
Exactly. It cuts both ways and you can't guarantee any outcome.
Well, our friend has some soothing and beautiful back ground music and pictures.
Well considering my life is just a shitty mix of autism, depression and anxiety i'd say we give it a f*cking go because this shit ain't worth keeping.
@@methos4866 love was ain’t in the history books or on your end days. It’s still here to stay. 👍
love is not that weak that we humans can tamper with it :)
The end gave me goosebumps, I wish that in a few years all diseases will be defined in “was” and not “is”, and I’m very glad you defined misery as one of them, this is truly a masterpiece and I’m thrilled for your book to arrive!
The presentation of your videos are outstanding. The soundtrack and visuals match together so well and of course even if you don't have the voice of Morgan Freeman your writing/speech is the best part. It's sophisticated subjects yet you turn it simple so some of us dimwits can understand and you add humor and analogies to make it more coherent. I genuinely enjoy your videos, such high quality.
Dang that ending was something else
"Misery was-"
That honestly made me smile a bit and probably almost made me shed a tear
This is probably the most inspired I've been from watching a video (which isn't even supposed to cheer you up in the first place, I think)
He’s a philosopher, offering new perspectives and inspiring us with hope for the future💕
The last bit is always what gets me. It's like: here. Have this existencial crisis at the start and at the end, cry your eyes out for hope.
I must say the ending with the "was"
is just beautifully done.
I started to cry.
I love you
I see the damned onion ninjas got you too ;P
That really was something... wonderful.
Exurb1a: was must be the most lovely word in the English language...

It drops to 0 because peoples who wanted to suicide, died the second the video uploaded.

I am in fucking awe at how good you were at tying together the ending of the video in a satisfying way. The way that the title doesn't really make sense in the beginning to when you get hit by the huge realisation at the end to the build up of that realisation. I had already watched this video before a while ago and knew what was going to happen, but that being the case I still started to fucking cry at the end. It was multiple minutes ago since I saw that but I'm still crying right now when writing this comment. It is absolutely insame how well you made that...
This made me very ... emotional.
Guess I should know better than to watch poetic existential ramblings in a vulnerable state.

your videos have such a beautiful meaning under a amazingly comical approach. Probably one of the most unique video types on youtube. No one does what you do, or at least as well you do it. honestly an amazing way to get important things across while keeping the viewers entertained.

Check out Eskify...similar style of narration.
Your content is consistently interesting, thought provoking, and enjoyable.
This was amazing, and I thank you for it, space turtle.
I second this. Much more eloquently said than myself.
Felt like the "was" sequence followed by the white light washed over my pain and gave me hope for a future where I can say I "was" just sad for a bit. Maybe we're not at the stage where we can just banish Misery in general, but watching this video gives me strength to deal with it over and over at least.
You must really hate trains.
Edit: I just finished the video, and I just don't think you get enough credit for these masterpieces. Each one of your videos has forced out of me an emotion I have either never felt before, or haven't felt in a long time. You explore each of them in such a way that is remarkable and unique, with no equal on TH-cam or even in life. I truly think you have an gifted viewpoint on the world, and while people on your comments regularly say "time for my existential crisis" and hone in on your depressing side, it is rarely mentioned how individual they make us feel. I feel the contrast between the start and the end of your videos is just truly amazing: this one started off as a pessimistic outlook of how with the few Godlike powers humans have already, it seems inevitable that we will abuse this newfound science to further our own self destruction. By the end, you focused on the individualistic nature of humanity and how we strive to eradicate diseases, regret, and misery: with a 'roundhouse kick'. I don't actually know your real name, but exurb1a, if you're reading this: thank you for putting a truly different spin on the everyday pessimism or optimism of the modern day. You make my day every time you upload, and I'm sure as hell going to buy your book!

Antivaccine believers were a group of people based in a antivaccine idea that was based in total biases and no scientific propositions.
Eventually, like flat earth believing people, they gradually diminished, thanks to the evolution, who took care of those who opted for no vaccines and were eventually isolated from the society, because of the risks they represented, or the human knowkedge of generations, who by achieving more knowledge, got better and greater scientific knowledge and abandoned old superstisions based on their shadows of fear, which they discovered, were nothing at all.
