Oof, I felt this video. I'm a freelance writer, and I mostly do SEO (Search Engine Optimization) content for business blogs and such, since there's an endless need and it pays the bills. So, in essence, my job is to write articles which are *intended to be read by machines.* Because, seriously, no one's reading their local car mechanic's shitty blog. I write for an audience of one: The Google Algorithm. Personally, I find this darkly hilarious. In defense of myself as a person, I do enjoy the rare opportunity to do otherwise. Like I sometimes write reviews for a C-tier website that mostly exists to give indie bands some positive press. And you know what? I am FINE with that. I'll happily write a good review of a halfway decent band. It means I'm getting paid to actually do something nice for other actual human beings. Which is way too rare these days.
No need to defend yourself as a person, haha! I too do things I don't care about to pay the bills, but then I can put time into nice things like these videos :D I'm glad your helping those bands :)
Whether its rewatching an older video or seeing a new one for the first time I always leave your content knowing I’ll be back to watch it again. Like after watching a new favorite movie feeling that jumble of satisfaction, drowsiness, and “that was so good”. I appreciate your essays so much and enjoy everyone of them dearly
When I first saw cube, I went "well, a tad bit farfetched, innit?" I think about it often Thank you for putting words on a feeling I carried with me for a long time
ive watched this video around 3 times now and im just amazed that more people havent seen it. So well written, so well edited, so funny, so wide in its research.
wow, this is a nice surprise, missed your content a lot. Great video, kinda reminded me of the one Solar Sands did on the topic of NFTs, in a way that NFTs are like AI-generated content for kids, but for adults, which makes it way worse actually. (i think i teared up a little on the quote about those who care less profit the most... that is true for a way too many aspects of capitalist system)
Wow, this was quite a journey. For a few minutes there, I thought this might just be you taking an opportunity to dunk on the Marble Arch Mound. I was genuinely in awe of how you tied this all back into the story of Cube and Squid Game's success. I recently watched Folding Idea's video from a few years ago on those TH-cam Kids videos, so I'm already familiar with our algorithmically driven hellscape. I hadn't thought of viewing our disastrous capitalist hellscape under that same lens, though. Sometimes the things that make the most money make the least sense, and sometimes things that make the least money make the least sense because they thought that would somehow make the most money. It all ties back neatly to that profit motive. Now any time I see something so catastrophically, inscrutably nonsensical, I'm going to suspect that's at the root of it.
What a ridiculously good video, it gave me chills! As an artist turned middle school teacher I have so many thoughts on this video I just dont know how to put into words.. But in the end I just want to thank you for an amazing and insightful video that I am going to have to rewatch at least a 100 fimes :)
Watched an old Utopia review from you and wondered if you still made videos and to my surprise not only did you still make them but I was blown away by this one. Really great stuff 😁 👍
"You'll take your trees and bit of grass and bit bloody happy with it!" omg I hadn't heard about that...mound lol I'm so glad you made a video essay about this! Always glad to see a new one from you!
Had you in my subscriptions and I don't think I ever watched a video from you. Probably just subbed because someone recommended your channel. This video was stunning and incredibly thought provoking. You opened my eyes to a very interesting topic.
I was playing a game by the name of Prose and Codes, which is basically about filling up incomplete words to make an intelligible sentence taken from famous books or novels And there was one which can be applied in here, "Men never completely understand its inventions, it only tries it's best to adapt with it" Throughout our existence in this world we have made numerous devices, products, etc. for the betterment of our species, some stick and other's don't But the complex ones always baffles the people who use it, even the creators, for example Mark Zuckerberg never knew what Facebook would become and be used for in the future The best we can do is adapt with it and the changes that comes from the ever-moving time, even though it was started by us it has become something more than we can ever control PS: Amazing comeback after your brief stint and great video as usual (Watch Platform if you haven't you will enjoy it)
Thank you! I didn't watch Platform as I heard it was bad, but people have been recommending it and if it's in my favourite genre I will enjoy it even if it is bad haha.
"oh cool a new video! It's about squid game? Well I've still never seen it but this seems like interesting stuff about capitalism either way-WAIT weird London mound is a FAILURE? LET'S FUCKING GO BOIIS!!"
Oh, wow. I haven't thought about Cube since I saw it as (way too young) kid. The subtext went right over my head at the time. Great video! Thanks for making it.
seriously touched on something vital for modern world. We are stuck plugged into the hedonic treadmill of the content algorithm. The worst part is there’s no easy way out 😅😅 oh well we have no agency 🤷♂️; my nihilistic ass is gunna now to binge your backlog
Great video essay - and I'd never heard of the Mount before either, like some people here, even though we've got friends who live in London. I love the balance your videos have of analysis, critique and humour, where each element informs and enhances the others. Also, your videos are very enjoyable to look at and listen to. Thanks a lot for your work!
Wow completely forgot about The Cube. Lot to think on here with content creation too. Your videos are always really inspirational as a creator. Both the writing and editing.
AWESOME video! Definitely going to be picking up that Bridle book. Thanks for shining a light on the silent and anonymous worm that's eating away at deliberate and genuine efforts!
I watched Squid Games very early on as well and it's popularity seemed at first surreal but it does make sense. Being a fan on isolation room movies including Cube in my early teens I feel like it was inevitable for me to become a leftist.
Incredible video! You have an incredible talent of making me want to watch every single piece of media you discuss. I paused halfway through the video and watched Cube for the first time, and really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your enormous brain with us all!
everyone is beautiful and no one is horny is one of my favorite essays!! highly recommend anyone who hasn't read it to go and check out the whole thing
I really think this might be one of your best essays yet. It totally enhanced how I view the relationship between technology and capitalism. I can’t count how many times I’ve rewatched this
Without fail, every one of these succinctly encapsulates a difficult to convey concept that I've struggled to put into words for longer that I want to admit. Honestly, when I make a piece of art and want to answer a question or give a statement I just want to have a keyring of QR codes to your various videos and form a phrase out of them via playlist. 🤷🤣
And in this sea of bullshit, garbage, and detritus, sometimes, upon the shore washes not only a pearl, but a deep understanding of where all the rest of this came from. Thank you.
Very interesting video bringing more clarity in this confusing age... The point that it is the maxim of optimization and profit that is burying humanity - not technology - reminds me of a point sci-fi author Ted Chiang: Sillicon Valley's fear of an AI destroying humanity as a byproduct of a simpler and sensible task is actually just a projection of Sillicion Valley's own ruthless maximizing. It also reminded me of philosopher Ivan Illich's point that any tool (in the broadest sense) can grow to a scale where it becomes harmful and actually inverses its original intend. imo the best example is traffic: it's original intend is to increase mobility, but it can grow to proportions where it actually hinders mobility.
Excellent video essay. Connecting so many things into a central theme. The profit motive is an interesting thing, theoretically and logically it should only create that which people want as if that things is unwanted it wouldn't be purchased and therefore there is no incentive to create or develop it. Yet here one of the arguments,I think, is how the profit motive leads to arbitrary, pointless (the definition of pointless being thing that no one wants) things. Can these be reconciled?
Honestly Cube reminds me a lot of Kafka's "In the Penal Colony": punishment inscribed on the body without any sense of the law broken, until it's been carved into your skin for 12 hours.
This was incredible!!!! Really wish youtube pushed some more well-researched, thought provoking and educational videos like this :') I'll be doin my part to share your stuff around, so glad I stumbled across this channel!!
Another extremely important treatise on society that everyone should watch even though they can't do anything about it. That's the existential crisis that keeps me up at night. We built the hydra.
Wow, such a great video! It really is terrifying indeed. But I've still got hope left - eventually, I think we will reach a tipping point. At least, I hope so.
I don't know if the spanish Netflix film The Platform could be part of this trend, but I think you should watch it. Don't Look Up!! also fits in the category... I'm starting to see a pattern in Netflix productions. Coincidence? I don't... know... Great as usual, Grace!!! Thanx!!!
Have your heard of Curtis Yarvin? I watched a podcast where he posed the idea on how we no longer follow people ie monarchs or leaders we now follow mechanisms like democracy and capitalism and these mechanisms have become deranged because unlike people mechanisms cannot be held accountable. It just reminded me of this video
I'm most fascinated by the mound. Because this is the first time I ever heard of it. And I want to know more about it. As this video assumes a bit of knowledge about its history I am left with big gaps in the reasoning behind its existance.
@@WhatsSoGreatAboutThat Yeah, I think it's a bit like that in general. One thinks there's much more to it. I mean. It sounded like a classic underpants gnomes logic. step one: build a giant mound. step two: ... step three: PROFIT! I'm just not clear on what was supposed to make the profit, was there supposed to be stores in there? Gift-shops? Why would people go to a giant mound?... but I guess that's the whole conundrum. Noone actually knew.
@@jmalmsten They were just going to charge people up to £8 a ticket to climb up it haha. It did have the light cube exhibition inside it which was cool. I went to visit it twice once they made it free, I actually had a good time on both visits 😂 There was also going to be a cafe but afaik that never happened. I have done a lot of research into the mound and I am still flawed as to why anyone thought this was a good idea haha
As I re enter the workforce, I'm realising the truths behind thus video, though I'm still trying to resist. Eventually I'll end up starting a commune or something I just know it.
@@WhatsSoGreatAboutThat I kind of figured. This is basically a placeholder comment. But I never thought about the creepy animation videos. I always figure it was some amateur animators who watched way too much south park and happy tree friends.
This is the way the world ends: not with a bang, but with a sick old man suffering from diarrhea, indigestive problem cell phone cover case Samsung S6.
Wow thank you for the excellent existential panic. It was exceptional as always!
Haha, thank you!
Hey, I know you... What is this... a crossover episode?
I'd never heard about the Mound before and I'm laughing SO HARD at "looks like a game asset glitched halfway through rendering" because it DOES
Haha, glad to bring the glory of the mound to more people :D
Oh, the moonlight just makes it shine
I’m consistently delighted and amazed by the diversity of your sources and what you discover by connecting them.
Thank you! :D

Squid Game is pretty much like the dark and gritty version of _Takeshi's Castle._
This channel is such a delight.
Thank you! :D

Thank you. As always I just love the way you articulate ideas in your videos
Thank you!
So good! I like that you discussed such a variety of seemingly unconnected things, but showed how they’re all a symptom of the same thing

The best we can do is adapt with it and the changes that comes from the ever-moving time, even though it was started by us it has become something more than we can ever control

Thank you!
God, you uploaded again and now i have to stay up late rewatching everything on your channel again. Thanks a lot ;)
Hahaha, thank you!
Your video is so eloquent as always! I loved tying in Cube to the horror of algorithmically generated content, that's such a brilliant insight
Thank you! :D
Words cannot express my level of joy at seeing a reference to McMansion Hell! Thank you!
You have the best sense of 'flow' of any video essayist on the platform. Always impressed by the quality and substance of your videos.
Thank you so much!
Is she gonna mention... CUBE, YEP! : ) I knew it! Everyone needs a death maze!
This whole video started with Cube haha, maybe my favourite film
Oh, wow. I haven't thought about Cube since I saw it as (way too young) kid. The subtext went right over my head at the time.
Great video! Thanks for making it.
Always glad to make people think about Cube again :D
That line with soul after step 2 - like woah.

Thank you! Well in the case of the mound, by the time they realised no one wanted it, it was £6 million too late 😂
I literally was just like where is “what’s so great about that? I miss them”
Hehe I was summoned
Honestly Cube reminds me a lot of Kafka's "In the Penal Colony": punishment inscribed on the body without any sense of the law broken, until it's been carved into your skin for 12 hours.
Oh I haven't read that one! I definitely thought a lot about Kafka during this process, particularly The Trial
