Pointless bonus trivia:
There's a great BBC series from a while back called A History of the World in 100 Objects - big recommend. A few years ago I was sat around being useless and miserable in my apartment and suddenly got the idea to do A History of the Future in 100 Objects instead, a scifi story from the perspective of a museum looking back on a million years of history - it seemed like a fun inversion of the original format. I worked on the script for a few weeks and almost liked it, but couldn't find the 'hook' for the thing and it fell apart like most silly ideas do.
A few years went by and I got a bit depresso and self-pitying about no new fun ideas turning up, and decided to go through some old scripts to see if there was anything else worth going back to. It all sucked, usual derivative rehashed ya de ya da. Then I stumbled on the museum thing again. It was a bit like getting a sudden unexpected and frankly undeserved tax rebate. With a few years of distance it was all terribly exciting for some reason, and when I tried to tie it up this time it more or less wrote itself when I got out of its way. I don't know why writing is like this sometimes, but it is often like this sometimes. It only operates on its own terms, and the more you order it to work, the less it cooperates. Sometimes things finish themselves in a day, sometimes they take a few years of not looking directly at them, sometimes they never pan out and it's never obvious why. Also I notice a guy called Adrian Hon already wrote A GODDAMN BOOK called The Future in 100 Objects in 2013, years before I started thinking about any of this, and I'm sure it's a great read and I hope he gets scurvy.
And as ever, your mystery link: • f the police.
P.S - Sorry I was away a while. A new book is almost ready if that's something you care about but it took a spot of thinking offline for a bit. You'll be pleased to hear it's even more pretentious than the last ones.
The cat sends her regards. Is that a new haircut by the way? It really suits you if I may say so.

Your writing has improved so much over the years I swear you've managed to nestle into a niche where punchlines make me tear up and existential outbursts of panic make me laugh, the association game that seems so random but instinctively congruent. Keep at it man I'm a huge fan and I can't wait for you to continue improving.

"To unlearn grass and sky in favour of where next and why" beautiful, just beautiful
Maybe I'm an idiot because it just sounds like what me and friends would talk about doing drugs. Sounds thought provoking like "how do you know if my blue is your blue," but really it's irrelevant
@@princememphis7726 most of us have had conversations such as you mentioned. however, this vides is an amazing art piece, thought experiment, and philosophical take on the meaning of our consciousness/existence and if you can't see the value here... then I'm sorry, mate.
Value is subjective. However, I'm glad this video gives you faith to believe in its insistence on being of high value to you. It's wonderful to have differing outputs of perspective generated by a common input (this video).
This is a quote from a Canadian poet! The poem goes:
To unlearn grass and sky
in favour of next and why,
to relinquish the soft,
uncertain edges of the world
for the cold hard steel

14:54 "How good it feels to find another mind just as strange as oneself and say 'I would like you by my side until my little race is run'"
I feel this. Holy fuck.
“But strangely, as much as we can guess back on Earth from what they report-they’re all still _us._ For all they present, with tentacales and bumblebee wings, they still pee and argue, still party and mourn; everything that makes life what it is, all the weird worrying and terrible longing to belong, and why some weeks am I sad without reason, and how do I know a brave choice from a stupid one, and that morning. Why were you so cold with me? Did I offend you in a dream? And I walked you to work in that awful silence, the thing threshing like a bell between us, and when I came to meet you at the end of the day I was sure you were going to tell me you were leaving, when suddenly, you took my face in your hands and kissed me on the mouth so perfectly and by surprise my soul exploded right out the back of my head in way I’ve simply never been able to fold back inside, nor would I want to. What are we, but wanting, willing, dying things; out of the dirt, a little dance, then back under; mayfly creatures, twilight fandango; then cowering again to pray again that for whoever comes after, there’s laughter.”

A couple of years ago I introduced my girlfriend at the time to this channel and she fell in love with it. We are not be together anymore but I'm so happy to know that this video will pop up in her feed and fill her mind with this amazing cocktail of emotions, this dance of contradictions-hopeful and hopeless, curious yet apprehensive, caught between awe and dread about the future. For those interested to see, these videos provide such a poetic glimpse into the human condition and its a gift I'm very proud to have shared with someone I loved once.
Beautiful words.
Beautiful ❤ truely beautiful ❤
Exurbia feels like slowly being led around a room full of the most beautiful art in existence through a tinted lens, and all of a sudden at the end your vision clears and you can see the masterpiece that he has created, step by step. And everything just comes together and you’re suddenly surprised and amazed and impressed and everything in between. These videos are here to be cherished for centuries to come. When I have them, I will show my kids this channel and their kids as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the world turtle.

Oh shit. The turtle of existential dread is back!
You saw them too! There were turtles all the way down! 😮
Pretty sure its a tortoise
Ah yes, I sure do love questioning everything.
this isnt dread. it is pure wonder at the miracle that is existence
"A wheel for the cart, a cart for the road, a lamp for the dark, and gloves for the cold"
That little simple line felt infinitely significant to me, and I've no idea why.
its because tools are just for us to enjoy the world, the wonder we have is enough.
I need to write some short stories to this
solutions to problems, keeps our meat brain busy. And when there’s no more problems to solve we act as if there were, keeping on looking for answers because thats what we’ve always known and done…
EDIT: This is why some of the richest people are some of the unhappiest. The problems get so abstract and manufactured that its almost impossible to find a solution to them, in return making us unhappy because „we can’t solve the problems that our brain deems necessary to solve“
because it rhymed
I feel it as a reminder that the point of invention and innovation is to bringe ease. It's to lessen suffering. Being more productive is meant to give us more time to relax, not incentivise even more effort. Remember what these things are FOR. A lamp FOR the dark, and gloves FOR the cold.
I discovered your channel about a year ago and every video, story and tale you put up here is just amazing.
However, this one in particular has really moved something inside me.
It comes at a moment in which pondering about the existence of life is more prominent in my day to day basis.
I wanted to tell you that I really love your work and the way you put concepts together.
Thank you for such an amazing work.
I've rarely stopped pondering existence since I was a child. The 'why' of everything. Now in my midlife, I still ponder daily. Best of luck on your journey.
@@sodiumscrub when I was about 11 I remember looking out of the window and paying especial attention to the trees that were in front of me in my neighborhood.
I thought " one day, all of this will disappear and I won't see it anymore.
When I'm gone"
That was my first realization that I will not live forever.
When I had my daughter, and I came from the hospital with the newborn I thought " what a sad day when mother and daughter must be split when death comes".
That was my other big realization of how really small we are in the big scheme of things.

to catch an exurb1a video so early really is a treat, when youre just beginning to spiral after a couple of drinks to be reminded that youre nothing at all and that the future and the past might be the same and both equally unimportant is why ive always enjoyed this channel
3:12 there's a cool paradox here if you think about it:
If both parties agree to drink the cocktail, they would be acting maturely by accepting the end of the relationship and letting eachother go regarless if the drink works or not, thus finishing on good terms
I didn’t think of it that way. Yikes
Or they’re both bitter and in pain and they decide to meet to drown their miseries at the same time so neither one of them reminds the other what a shitstorm it actually was.
Accepting a relationship ending doesn’t always mean finishing it on good terms. They think it was on good terms but the growth of character and acts required to end something on good terms never happened so really they’re just kidding themselves. Or not, I have no idea what I’m talking about

Phenomenal line.
If I was healthy, I would have bought everything you've ever created, all your books. But I'm dying, doesn't make sense for me to spend money material possessions. For all it's worth, you have given me one too many perspectives on life and I'm truly thankful for that. Thank you. May your curiosity never stop.
I don’t know what’s lead to your predictament but I hope it gets solved and even if it doesn’t that you will be remembered.
Or, you can buy the books, then spend time pondering and doodling within them. And once you've filled them with your you-ness, or once you feel too close to the edge, you can pass them off to someone else, so that they may ponder and doodle, changing the whole, taking a part of each of you. And the outcome, if ever a time exists for it, will be a unique line of thoughts and feelings from one to the next.
An odd thing, filled with ramblings, and lines of "haha, I'm so smart, look at this oddness that I add because I'm so different.". Some will try and rectify or cover up their previous oddness, some will carry on, feeling a need to stick with their prior decisions, some will let was be what was, and change into what will be.
"But why?", you might ask. Well, why not? I don't know your situation, so maybe you don't have time to ponder and doodle. But if not, what's stopping you?
@I.I.I....IoI....I.I.Iare you trolling or actually just this cringe?
To the contrary: I would say that if you're dying to be dead sooner than later, it makes all the sense to spend money on matters that are meaningful to you. Given that you no longer need monetary means to either survive or live.♡

"It is your cynical certainty that reveals your youth",
"Welcome to adolescence"
yes we watched the video.
I love how you convey your thesis of reality through art. I’ve been following your content for years and your worldview of this cosmic cycle is obvious throughout your work - where we came from, where we’re headed, why we should strive to attain peace within ourselves. At times you’ve painted a dystopian future, surely in some part due to the entertainment value, but ultimately I believe you explore those possibilities to contrast and frame your profound optimism. It always ties back to this moment - the possibility that there is a purpose for our existence; a purpose not realized at the end of a road, but along the road itself. And while you leverage your understanding of physics, philosophy, and consciousness studies, you only use these to uniquely portray your thesis as a story whereas another might attempt to formalize a thesis through rigorous logic; but you know that approach is unlikely to be taken seriously. Maybe there is a place for a more academic approach one day, but for now, and for most of us, your storytelling is a far more effective way to give a wide audience a glimpse of your worldview. That’s where the magic is anyway - seeing it, and seeing ourselves in it. I hope I’ve done your art justice by comprehending even a fraction your worldview. If so, I’m happy to have shared this vista with you.

I could sit under a tree with Platon right now, and he would ask me 'So what did you see?'
And i would say 'Just.. the journey'
He would slowly nod, pass me the blunt, and ask again 'But was it a good journey?'
And after a deep inhale, with extra deep voice, I'd answer 'Yes. Maybe the best. A journey of pure and true beauty.'
Again he would nod, and one of the greatest thinkers of all time would sit there in peace, for no more words are needed in that moment.
There was a video once when you talked about a book, using language so well and just nice, it inspired you. You good Sir have the same effect - at least for me. The words you use, the stories you tell, the awakening of an adventurous mind that sometimes just needs the smallest steps for the biggest leaps..

This video very much helped with my depression. This is not an exaggeration. I feel as though I were taught a lesson by one of the best professors; A topic I couldn't previously understand and that I grappled with has suddenly become clear and easy to understand, even enjoyable in retrospect. Thank you Exurb1a. Ignorance may very well be bliss, in a grand philosophical way. I needn't think too hard about... everything. Especially not that of which I won't be around for. I'll only continue to do my best, and not worry about when I don't. Trying to change the thoughts of others, even, isn't something I should concern myself so much with that I put in a particularly exhausting effort; We will all come back around one day, no matter the means.

@@cruncmcfuncle564it must suck to not be able to separate art from the artist
@@thisisdevin pretty sure the allegations were fake
am I not "turtlie"enough for the turtle club?
Im currently on a 5 weeks road trip across the US, first time leaving my home & this reminder to “just be” couldnt have come at a more perfect time. Thank you again for being you & making people like me feel like we belong. Like what we do makes sense, when really we’re all just existing
have fun being!! it's awesome!
How can you explain this dreamlike human experience so elegantly.

This video is amazing, so glad exurbia doesn’t just rush out a project to get a video out, always take your time until you feel like a project is done that your proud of
Horrors and Living (a poem I wrote one time about a similar topic to this)
Myriad of consciousness...
In the future, people will be liquid, or generated;
Death and Life will mean nothing
And perhaps neither will the sun and moon
Grass and trees replaced by wires
Florescent nightmares of flesh and steel
Neural mysteries and bleeding dreams;
And from this,
Time will keep going on.
Eternally.
There's no end, no beginning;
After humanity rots and something else arises,
And after they rot, too.
Ouroborus' corpse will be eaten by another snake;
A conquerer worm dies and then is fed upon.
Angels dragged down and die,
For the thing above them in the hierarchy,
And the same occuring with demons.
The endless ladder of existence never topples;
Horrors forever written.
But the experience of life will go on
The stories worlds forge and creative development
As long as that real heart keeps beating,
The world is true.
Remarkable!!
It's very beautiful man, keep going!
Most poetry made feels phoned in, or badly constructed, or overly wordy. This is none of those. Your wordplay is really beautiful - don't stop making.
Simply beautiful. The reader really feels the feelings you evoke upon them
WE GOT A PREQUEL TO "and then we'll be okay" WAAAAAAHHHHHH
I let my guard down during the first half and did not expect that roller coaster... even made me cry. Well done once again, especially in reminding me of my arrogance (that "I am wise") while turning me to the present rather than to doom gloom into the unknown future. Well done, and thank you
My wife and I are putting our cat down today. I took the day off work and was sitting with my cat, fighting the urge to get up and do something. Be it wipe something down, vacuum and other odds and ends around the house. I’d watched this video a few days ago and it was an excellent reminder to just be. So the cat and I are being together the next couple of hours we have left.
Thank you for this.
I cannot express what this made me feel. I will need to listen to it again, calmly, and maybe write a bit around his ideas. What a person. He's so good at being.
I don’t fully understand the feelings this video has pulled from me. All I know is that my mind is blown and I’m crying and that’s ok.
Well done.
This dude is one of the best contemporary sci fi writers
Thank you for all you do. You may not like that I to put it this way, but it's an honor to be alive at the same time as you. Thank you; especially for this which could be a new favorite for me. To be. I'm still confused as to the mystery of the world we seem to be in, but perhaps beginning with being isn't a bad start. Lovely video! (lovely poetry as well!)
That was actually beautiful, amazing work exurb1a!
Exurb1a just went to the same club as Sam O’ Nella 😅 and just like that, he’s back.
This is so heartbreakingly beautiful. It's so existential but somehow still feels like a warm hug.
I haven't cried in a long time. This broke that dry streak. It felt so good. Thank you.
Couldn't agree more. The whole video was an emotional rollercoaster, but the last 2 minutes, when the mountain lady appeared and explained everything that my brain already grasped from the video, I started to cry.
Knowing words can be cathartic in some way to someone somewhere gives me hope for humanity.
Damn. I needed this.
It’s weird how I started rewatching your videos and suddenly you make a new one.
Thank you
I swear this always happens like litterally 2 days ago i rewatched like so many it was a random spur of the moment kind of thing and ta da a video today
@@stufflifeart6103love weird synchronicities like that. he actually did an experiment about it, you can look it up! wild stuff.
Goddamm beautiful ---- thank you for creating this.
Teared up.
Over the years watching your existential rants --- the struggles of life -- self doubt about your work ---- but man, that doubt sprouted into a beautiful flower.
Then Next Comes.
Sometimes i avoid clicking on your videos for months because they are uncomfortable. But every time i walk away feeling like the world is a beautiful place after all
This is absolutely incredible. Some of your best work ever. I felt so many emotions
this is one of my favourite pieces from you so far. absolutely beautiful

Definitely not me... Or one of the hags I supposedly descend from
God dammit I laughed so hard when I saw this 😂

I think this might be the greatest bit of content I have ever had the privilege of consuming. I have seen this at least 25 times already since the day it came out.
the images you paint with your words send me into a frenzy of existential hysteria. I sit here at my desk an I am overcome with emotions that give way to new ones like an arrow becoming another arrow. thank you for your work and I hope to see more of your stuff as always. blessed be.
0:52 "You talk, but all I hear is silliness" lmao
1:10 They re-discover Britains secret weapon from WW2, this is how they develop the language.
"Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!"
Seriously brought me to tears. Absolutely beautiful.
You have the ability to make me cry in desperation and comfort me with a seed of hope at the same time. Thank you.
Its so amazing to be growing up with you together. Its so amazing that as I be in the world, you play the perfect jokes that I barely just because of yesterdays realisations, am able to understand now. I cant believe, that after digging so deep into the pit of reality and life, the metals I found would be useful to understand something I'm being told back on the surface. I don't understand how can you make something so beautiful, I never thought I'll feel something so deeply while watching the screen.
I feel like you are the best creator alive right now, at least. I search and seek for those answers in every person and every book, but you are probably 85% of the reason that I am able to be... I thank you kindly for that you made the step, that brave day you decided to do it, to start publishing your work.
That word and realisation hit me with tears like never before.
And again, thank you, for making my existence a life. Dearly.
This is by far the best video I've seen in years. Infinitely deep and extremely interesting. Mind opening in a few minutes. Many just won't get it.
Time for my yearly existential crisis
You just made tear up over your unique mixture of scifi and philosophy, uncomparable!
That’s the magic of the space turtle
I think this video is connected to the "and then we'll be ok" one, it's beautiful to think that we would go that far and think that we learned everything kust to realize that we really know nothing.
This is a beautiful video and a great comeback!
