Re-watching this after The Spirit in the Cabin and The Mastermind of the Warehouse, Ep 1 and 2 of Generation Loss. It's crazy how much Matpat was able to get right. With only 28 seconds MatPat predicted the base story for ShowFall Medias The Social Experiments. Mind Blown!!!!
I actually rewatched the episode before clicking on this, and found something that MatPat didn't mention. Towards the end of the video, two sentences flash very briefly in the bottom right corner. It took me a few tried to be able to actually pause on them but they read: "Everything has a purpose. Just not the purpose you think." I'm not quite sure what this means, or how it ties into any theory yet. I figured I would bring it up and see if anyone could possibly help.
Well, I'm no investigator, but I would think it could tie back to the part at 14:20. It seems it may be a refrence to the fact there is a purpose for them trying to hide the truth about Romny. This could also be a hint to the fact that since all the other incidents happened in the 19's, it may be trying to hint that Generation Loss has been going for many years, and in the Alternate Universe, is still hiding truth. That's my therory.
Remember the conspiracy themed merchandise ad? The 4th part of the trophy was lit up on the shirt. I think he's teasing a conspiracy themed channel. Edit: just looked at some more merchandise to check and the blue part seems to be really prominent in conspiracy merch, I think I'm right.
The best thing about matpats videos is when he's like "I had no idea how this connected to anything, until I looked at their Twitter account where they posted a blank screen with the number 2 on it. And suddenly it all made sense."
at this point I'm half expecting an ARG in the next 5 years that reveals an actual covered up story to the public, it feels like a way safer option to share classified information that's supposed to go public by disguising it as a game until it's figured out and has caught on
my thoughts exactly, the amount of times I have imagined popular streamers/youtubers creating ARG based off real classified information is disturbing. Sometimes I actually believe that some of the ARG's are actually classified information lol. If it does happen though and is later discovered as real information, I would gladly label myself as Physic.
Well the arg was mentioning a truth seeking group abd thats what reawaken America Elijah stream and infowars are about we're learnING from them of the truth and what God has planned...
Ive never watched Dream and i have no idea who Ranboo is, so I was originally gonna click off assuming I wouldn't understand anything, but from the looks of it this a personal project that stands on its own and it looks really interesting and promising, hopefully it turns out well
thats the neat part, even if you've never seen the topic of what the theory is about, matpats script is built to accommodate that. its so nice. oh and Ranboo's whole minecraft character is based off memory loss fyi
It's hitting too personal, as someone who has issues with my memory, it hurts to watch and relate, but it's important to learn about this, because history, whether it be of a nation or of a personal life, can easily be manipulated by simply changing slight points of the narrative, which eventually leads to major generation loss after many retellings of the same story, leading to distorted memory and honestly, gaslighting...
@@lucybloodaltalt8672 I haven't watched much of anything of the smp, but seeing such a popular character with memory loss was so nice too see, even if it was in small clips, and the journals, the journal idea was brilliant, I'm so glad others have thought of it too, that's how I keep my important events in line
@@deondrelowe5216 So sorry that your memory is poor, but im glad you could relate to a popular creator, and im glad you're issues are getting representation :))
this (generation loss) has nothing to do with dream btw just letting you know :) if i recall correctly the creator (ranboo) has said he doesn't want this to be connected in anyway and that this is something completely different that could be understood by someone who was never in any fanbase, and that he wants this to outgrow himself
I really hope MatPat does more of this cause it's been updated since this video 10 months ago. A lot of new stuff has been added. MATPAT, THE LORE, THE *LOREEE--*
There was another part at the end " everything has a purpose, just not the purpose you think. " The letters are dark and are in the corner the bottom right corner
"We are all equal some are more equal" as cited in George Orwell's pig farm. I think this whole thing has some connection to George Orwell's "pig farm" and "1984" or maybe to the man the myth the legend George Orwell himself.
@@Dispatcher49 Totally got that vibe with the flashing words. Didn't Apple have a 1984 style ad when it was first released. th-cam.com/video/VtvjbmoDx-I/w-d-xo.html
Also when ranboo was getting interviewed by Anthony Pandilla, ranboo was kinda giving a lil trailer, he said something along the lines “when someone does find those tapes, what will happen to that person” which I’m assuming someone from the generation loss organization found out someone had found those tapes and which I’m assuming what correlates to “find (kill) the founder” idk just a thought
That's true the person who found the tapes found the truth which could be why the truth seeking group wants to find him and generation loss wants to silence him.
Ranboo also hinted to this series in his Anthony Padilla interview, where he states that not only will it be an ARG, but it will also be from the perspective of someone who is uncovering the ARG
"What is generation loss?" *It is us, retrograding with each generation. Did you hear our ancestors used to walk 5 miles throught the hot desert, with bandits and sandstorms just to get to school?*
The terrifying thing is: generation loss has happened and is currently happening in reality. Edit: Wow… Over 500 likes! You guys really are open to the reality that history is written by the winners and those in power such as those say there is an “Elite of Royal Families in full control of the World.”
Something I didn't see mentioned was the text that appears in the bottom right corner at the very end of the 28 second video Ranboo released. It reads "Everything has a purpose Just not the purpose you think" I am definitely not smart enough to be able to know what exactly was meant by it, though. Or maybe you did mention it and I actually just zoned out when you were talking about it lol GREAT video though, this was awesome.
I think it’s referring to generation loss, basically saying that generation loss has a purpose, just not the purpose we think or the 4 looking thing has a purpose but not the purpose we think.. I’m not sure tho
Am I the only one who noticed that the Generation Loss logo is the exact outline of the main section of the St. Peter's Field map? I was surprised MatPat didn't mention it
the fact that he was so correct on this theory- it’s pretty much right on spot ranboo and all the others were being told/given memories that weren’t theirs how does this guy basically figure out the main concept of genloss with 28 seconds of practically no information awsome
I am incredibly impressed by MatPat realising and connecting all of this from 28 secong video + some messages but even more impressed by the fact that Ranboo came up with it in the first place. Like bruh, i strive to be so smart and creative, especially at such a young age without much of expirience. Imagine what he will able to make content-wise in the future.
Altered history theme is actually pretty spooky in our own world. It’s of course mostly conspiracy theories with amounts of stretching and mental gymnastics done, but a lot of them are much more solid than your average flat earth illuminati aliens stuff. Armored skeptic has a huge long series called “History is a lie” that dives deep into it. The documents from the past we have that are somewhat unexplained are… unsettling. I recommend it if you are interested! Again, he’s doing it for fun mostly, so don’t take it super seriously
Just wanted to put my two cents in here. The symbol for Generation Loss sort of looks like it could be drawn from the St Peter's Field map he pulled up. Starting from the circle point and ending at the little check tail. It goes from Dickson St, down what looks to be 'Mount' St, Twisting up along Windmills (?)st and tipping down Peter St and then curling up the end with Lower Mosely St.
Part 1: the social expermients is done and I'm coming back here to see how right he was. Anyone else with me? Also really hoping he does an updated version with all the new information
coming back and watching this after episodes 1 and 2 have been streamed, i cannot believe how accurate this turned out to be, and im so excited to see what will happen on tomorrow's stream!
Mat has gone on the record to say that he can’t do Conspiracy Theory, because there would be too much red tape from the TH-cam algorithms completely decimating the channel.
@@AltName7 ??? There are so many channels that debunk conspiracies that do pretty well. How would it decimate the channels? Also, I don’t remember when he said conspiracy theory can’t be a thing
I just realized, with the first photo he looked at being a guy who studied generation memory. Generation loss could also mean the loss of the ability to form your own thoughts and ideas. Just another thing pointing to a shady organization wanting to controle the populace
It would also be interesting if he covered Majin and who or what he could possibly be. Did he die? Is he a demon? Is that a mustache? Is he related to Sonic himself? Is he Sonic from a different universe? That's something I'd really love to see because these questions have been plauging my mind for years and I can't come to a definitive conclusion. So yeah, I agree with you. I think it would be great if MatPat covered other bits of the lore and physics in Sonic games.
Now that Generation Loss is posting more videos I can’t wait to see what you put together. Also as a Gen Z who grew up with older technology like tapes and VHS that where handed down to me I always find the “Gen Z doesn’t know what this was like back in my day” jokes funny. IDK if that’s in an ironic way or not though 😂
I’m So happy MatPat made a video about Generation Loss! Generation Loss is going to be an amazing project Ranboo is making! Love to here your thoughts about this!
10:20 Seems to be the origin of the Generation Loss symbol. When rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the streets vaguely make out the mentioned symbol. The “dot” on one of the end pointes of the symbol is then located on the intersection of Mount Street and Dickenson Street. Wonder if there is any significance.
I am so invested in this. I mean it pains me to even say that as a society we loss the ability to critically think and technology has impact us in a way that the art of talking and debating has stunted us. So I'm so going to be invested in this as much as I can. LOVE YOUR WORK MATPAT!!!!
Something worth noting, the image at 15:17 shows an incomplete generation loss logo. Almost like the logo itself has experienced generation loss. Maybe the logo as we know it now is incomplete? or maybe I'm stretching here.
Ranboo mentioned changing the logo at some point for reasons he didn't reveal- so you could be right, or it could just be a design choice ^^ This whole thing is a work in progress that Ranboo's still kind of figuring things out as he goes, I believe :)
I don’t know if anyone else is thinking this, but I love how this ARG is involving real life history!!! Learning history is fun for me and making it very intriguing!! It’s a really cool ARG.
It’s so cool to come back to this after watching the social experiment streams and see everything that MatPat was able to get right with as little information that he had
Corrupted Memories 👀 Sound familiar. Gen Loss Truly is something, now there's a theory for it. Great work & only with seconds long to go over (The Clip). Pretty impressive, wonder what'll be added for upcoming parts. Hope your sping well, Keep being Awesome & Safe Bro 🎮 😎 👊
Question: has there been technology created that can reverse the effects of generation loss (the concept, not the ARG)? Especially after showing the distorted gen9 nesquick commercial, the initial ARG video seems to be of a very similar quality, with clear instances of a grayscale change hinting that it might be the case. I am getting the impression that whichever group is controlling the text message is using said distortion as a heavy-handed symbol. Either way, i want to know what the undistorted video was before it was further tampered with to deliver the message. Worst case, it is a dead end, but one that proves the tech could work for future clues, best case we get a new perspective of the story. I dont think we have enough information to pick a side, yet. Dual censorship with even black squares, no proof that red and white text are different sides... maybe it is establishing a false narrative; a cause to support that is contrary to the organizer's (in arg universe) goals?
In the real world, no. Imagine that you have a connect-the-dots image. Imagine that with every "copy", you lose a couple dots. Since those dots can be anywhere on the page, even a small handful of dots missing can make the entire image incomprehensible or unsolvable. Now, if they have access to the original video they can copy that as many times to yield as many "v.2" releases as they want. Inversely, if they are only on a "v.3" or "v.4" level then there wouldn't be many explicit distortions. Least of all compared to a "v.9" copy. Or, obviously since an ARG isn't necessarily constrained to reality, the ARG's universe could have such technology.
@@onijester56 I was asking in the context of a potential lead. The simplest concept would be similar to that of a reverse image search, trying to find the few matches that exist and working backwards until finding the original. Or to put it another way, using gen9 to find gen8 to find gen7... to find gen1. IF the one video is a prime example of generation loss, i wonder what potential secrets it could hide, especially if every other censored image has all the real world history attached instead of just finding random images. I know it is likely beyond human capability, so that is why i specifically asked if tech exists to streamline the process. An in-universe explanation would be the next best thing, but in the realm of ARGs, that feels like it would be a bit too explicit a clue; at that point we are watching a fictional character solve a mystery, not solving the mystery ourselves.
rewatching this after finishing GenLoss is weird- also id love to see Mats take on what did happen. i know he cant guess about what else would happen since its over now but how cool would it be to see how Mat understood what happened and what might be next - since theres only one tape named :)
Mat, you should read the book Anthem, by Ayn Rand if you haven’t already. While watching this video and the Generation Loss video I noticed many similarities between Anthem and this ARG. Definently check out the book if you wish to solve this ARG
i already know this is gonna be my favorite video, i love ranboo and generation loss! the fact u can theorize on less than 30 seconds of footage is kinda scary, but talent at most. you always deliver the best content :]
I'm astounded that the theory holds up despite it requiring him to find the stories behind the actual photos. Fascinating how the ARG actually picked its images so that they would fit in with the lore.
@@YounisHajeer nah, if someone is making an ARG, they have to account for EVERYTHING. because every little thing can and will be looked into. it wouldn't make sense for it to just be coincidences, that's the whole point of an ARG. Ranboo is smart, he knows this. I think this theory actually has some merit so far.
@@lyrinis Searching who else used a stock photo in their article and what's it about and fitting it to the narrative your theory is pushing seems like a stretch to me
7:25 I understood this immediately as I tend to learn and retain information much more easily when I'm the one who thought of/found it, as opposed to being taught it in a school setting Combined with "you learn a new thing if you're genuinely excited or interested by the thing", it's pretty nice.
Matpat is the kind of guy to see less than half a minute of video and ask "is anyone gonna make a theory out of that?" And then not wait for an answer.
The scary thing is, in my opinion, is that in a way Generation Loss (or memorization of history/facts/etc that have become distorted and the discouragement of critical thinking and problem solving) are how schools are run in America, and we see the degredation of that knowledge used and weaponized in this country.
Exactly. It's not true education. It's indoctrination. After watching EUROPA a lot of things started to make more sense, (frighteningly.) One begins to wonder just how much we were lied to, and how much history we haven't been told about. Those who have revolted against the powers that be have been slandered, ridiculed, and killed. Even worse is the fact that a mass majority love the tyranny and openly accept it. They accept it because they were taught to submit and obey. Long story short: George Orwell was right.
I love living in a dystopian nightmare :> Knowing Ranboo, his very left wing stances, the general anti-capitalist mindset gen Z has adopted and the fact that he _lives_ here? This was definitely on purpose.
Waiting for you to come back to this topic now that the first generation is out! It was uh… jarring to watch the ending, can’t wait to see what neat theories you make from all these new videos!
5:32 Oh yes, the folly of the 'secret message' game. Also known as 'telegraph/telephone', 'whisper', among many others. Indeed, memory is imperfect, and is prone to failure for so many reasons.
If you liked doing this theory, then PROJECT 863 would be right up your alley! Created by Matthias Fredrick and his company, Spellbound Studios, this story follows Matt and his friends as they discover that a bio-engineering company inhabited the building they are currently in. A company which may have messed around with things ranging from mind control to murder.
Maybe it’s just me, but this theory reminds me a lot of the struggle between the Assassins and Templars in the Assassin’s Creed games. The series has two shadowy organizations one standing for truth and freedom (Assassins) and one for tyranny and control (Templars). Compare that to MatPat’s theory on this video and some of the concepts line up.
Rewatching this after Generation Loss has happened is so interesting! It's so cool seeing how much matpat got right from just that 28 second clip, I hope he covers the full thing in the future!!
Interesting.

It goes from Dickson St, down what looks to be 'Mount' St, Twisting up along Windmills (?)st and tipping down Peter St and then curling up the end with Lower Mosely St.
You are absolutely right!! Also, memento Mori, my friend!
@@vex6517 Memento Mori to you as well friend.
Happy sleuthing.
The lore just writes itself at this point nowadays with ARGs. I may make one in the future with these ideas.

Jesus dude you just got swarmed with bots! Also go for it! Im sure it would be cool.

Mhm!
there is nothing more fun than listening to matpat realizing that death is inevitable.
Part 1: the social expermients is done and I'm coming back here to see how right he was. Anyone else with me? Also really hoping he does an updated version with all the new information
IM BACK HERE TOOO!!! I HOPE HE DOES MORE ON THE SERIES!!!

MatPat: They call charging at protesters and killing 15 of them a “dispersal”…
Me: Yep, that sounds like the British government alright.
sounds like both
What about the russian government?
Sounds exactly like something they’d do.
sounds like most governments.

Watching Ranboos reaction. Basically yes. Yes to all. He reacts in a way that tells me you are onto something

The 4th theory channel should totally be Conspiracy Theory. Mat can analyze supporting and degrading evidence towards conspiracy theories
Mat has gone on the record to say that he can’t do Conspiracy Theory, because there would be too much red tape from the TH-cam algorithms completely decimating the channel.
@@AltName7 ??? There are so many channels that debunk conspiracies that do pretty well. How would it decimate the channels? Also, I don’t remember when he said conspiracy theory can’t be a thing

@@danalynch118 you, you get me! :D
I just realized, with the first photo he looked at being a guy who studied generation memory. Generation loss could also mean the loss of the ability to form your own thoughts and ideas. Just another thing pointing to a shady organization wanting to controle the populace
Dear matpat: could you please do a theory on “how deadly is knuckles’s punch” and if you wanna do it thank you.
It would also be interesting if he covered Majin and who or what he could possibly be. Did he die? Is he a demon? Is that a mustache? Is he related to Sonic himself? Is he Sonic from a different universe? That's something I'd really love to see because these questions have been plauging my mind for years and I can't come to a definitive conclusion. So yeah, I agree with you. I think it would be great if MatPat covered other bits of the lore and physics in Sonic games.
Yes
@Tom4704 Oh I thought he could have been a character in the hidden lore of Sonic CD.
I feel like he has a Sonic theory that has that throwaway fact in it. I feel like hes said it
Like hella deadly👍🏽
Now that Generation Loss is posting more videos I can’t wait to see what you put together.
Also as a Gen Z who grew up with older technology like tapes and VHS that where handed down to me I always find the “Gen Z doesn’t know what this was like back in my day” jokes funny. IDK if that’s in an ironic way or not though 😂
Me too 😂 I had a vhs tape television in my room growing up!
I’m So happy MatPat made a video about Generation Loss! Generation Loss is going to be an amazing project Ranboo is making! Love to here your thoughts about this!

SO MANY FRECKIN BOTS IN A ROW
10:20 Seems to be the origin of the Generation Loss symbol. When rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the streets vaguely make out the mentioned symbol.
The “dot” on one of the end pointes of the symbol is then located on the intersection of Mount Street and Dickenson Street. Wonder if there is any significance.
Yes I have also noticed this Im so glad someone had also picked up on this
OH MY GOODNESS YOURE RIGHT!!!
Sorry I am way too excited about this lol
yess i thought the same
Used F3 to search for this exact tidbit to see if anyone else noticed.

As a Dream SMP fan especially Ranboo, I was so confused and surprised when I got the notification for this video
Generation Loss just posted a new video roughly 4 hours ago now: Generation 1 Announcement
Something worth noting, the image at 15:17 shows an incomplete generation loss logo. Almost like the logo itself has experienced generation loss. Maybe the logo as we know it now is incomplete? or maybe I'm stretching here.
Nice thinking
Ranboo mentioned changing the logo at some point for reasons he didn't reveal- so you could be right, or it could just be a design choice ^^
This whole thing is a work in progress that Ranboo's still kind of figuring things out as he goes, I believe :)
I don’t know if anyone else is thinking this, but I love how this ARG is involving real life history!!! Learning history is fun for me and making it very intriguing!! It’s a really cool ARG.
Manipulation of memory is also connected to ranboos dream SMP lore
What if both are/were connected? :O
Coming back to this video after Generation Loss released is interesting.
He has got to do a follow up
It’s so cool to come back to this after watching the social experiment streams and see everything that MatPat was able to get right with as little information that he had
just imagine ranboo freaking out that he was in a game theory episode
He did lol
He did and he did it live before mcc, great reaction haha
The way matpat says get outta here Wilbur 😂
Wow rewatching this in 2024

now that the 3 Generation Loss TSE streams have dropped I really hope this gets a followup I need some Game Theory deep dive into its lore
bro episode 3 of genloss is CRAZY we need another theory
Question: has there been technology created that can reverse the effects of generation loss (the concept, not the ARG)? Especially after showing the distorted gen9 nesquick commercial, the initial ARG video seems to be of a very similar quality, with clear instances of a grayscale change hinting that it might be the case. I am getting the impression that whichever group is controlling the text message is using said distortion as a heavy-handed symbol. Either way, i want to know what the undistorted video was before it was further tampered with to deliver the message. Worst case, it is a dead end, but one that proves the tech could work for future clues, best case we get a new perspective of the story. I dont think we have enough information to pick a side, yet. Dual censorship with even black squares, no proof that red and white text are different sides... maybe it is establishing a false narrative; a cause to support that is contrary to the organizer's (in arg universe) goals?
In the real world, no. Imagine that you have a connect-the-dots image. Imagine that with every "copy", you lose a couple dots. Since those dots can be anywhere on the page, even a small handful of dots missing can make the entire image incomprehensible or unsolvable.
Now, if they have access to the original video they can copy that as many times to yield as many "v.2" releases as they want. Inversely, if they are only on a "v.3" or "v.4" level then there wouldn't be many explicit distortions. Least of all compared to a "v.9" copy.
Or, obviously since an ARG isn't necessarily constrained to reality, the ARG's universe could have such technology.
@@onijester56 I was asking in the context of a potential lead. The simplest concept would be similar to that of a reverse image search, trying to find the few matches that exist and working backwards until finding the original. Or to put it another way, using gen9 to find gen8 to find gen7... to find gen1. IF the one video is a prime example of generation loss, i wonder what potential secrets it could hide, especially if every other censored image has all the real world history attached instead of just finding random images.
I know it is likely beyond human capability, so that is why i specifically asked if tech exists to streamline the process. An in-universe explanation would be the next best thing, but in the realm of ARGs, that feels like it would be a bit too explicit a clue; at that point we are watching a fictional character solve a mystery, not solving the mystery ourselves.
I’m watching this after the 3 streams,, MatPat nailed it with the idea of old memories being removed and new memories being put in. Great job MatPat!
i can’t wait for the video where he fully analyzes everything from the streams because jesus christ he got a full length video from SNIPPETS.

rewatching this after finishing GenLoss is weird- also id love to see Mats take on what did happen. i know he cant guess about what else would happen since its over now but how cool would it be to see how Mat understood what happened and what might be next - since theres only one tape named :)
this is really interesting to see now that we've seen basically the full thing of generation loss. I'd love to see a second video!
Mat, you should read the book Anthem, by Ayn Rand if you haven’t already. While watching this video and the Generation Loss video I noticed many similarities between Anthem and this ARG. Definently check out the book if you wish to solve this ARG
i already know this is gonna be my favorite video, i love ranboo and generation loss! the fact u can theorize on less than 30 seconds of footage is kinda scary, but talent at most. you always deliver the best content :]

1:12 wilbur got what he deserved
I'm astounded that the theory holds up despite it requiring him to find the stories behind the actual photos. Fascinating how the ARG actually picked its images so that they would fit in with the lore.
I’m replying so the bots won’t get here first. Congrats
I feel like these are just coincidences
@@YounisHajeer nah, if someone is making an ARG, they have to account for EVERYTHING. because every little thing can and will be looked into. it wouldn't make sense for it to just be coincidences, that's the whole point of an ARG. Ranboo is smart, he knows this. I think this theory actually has some merit so far.
@@lyrinis Searching who else used a stock photo in their article and what's it about and fitting it to the narrative your theory is pushing seems like a stretch to me
7:25
I understood this immediately as I tend to learn and retain information much more easily when I'm the one who thought of/found it, as opposed to being taught it in a school setting
Combined with "you learn a new thing if you're genuinely excited or interested by the thing", it's pretty nice.

The scary thing is, in my opinion, is that in a way Generation Loss (or memorization of history/facts/etc that have become distorted and the discouragement of critical thinking and problem solving) are how schools are run in America, and we see the degredation of that knowledge used and weaponized in this country.
yeah, it's scary
Exactly. It's not true education. It's indoctrination.
After watching EUROPA a lot of things started to make more sense, (frighteningly.)
One begins to wonder just how much we were lied to, and how much history we haven't been told about.
Those who have revolted against the powers that be have been slandered, ridiculed, and killed.
Even worse is the fact that a mass majority love the tyranny and openly accept it. They accept it because they were taught to submit and obey.
Long story short: George Orwell was right.
I love living in a dystopian nightmare :>
Knowing Ranboo, his very left wing stances, the general anti-capitalist mindset gen Z has adopted and the fact that he _lives_ here?
This was definitely on purpose.
To add to that Ranboo comes from America
@@icebaguette5618 It’s scary because it’s true.
Waiting for you to come back to this topic now that the first generation is out! It was uh… jarring to watch the ending, can’t wait to see what neat theories you make from all these new videos!
SO EXCITED FOR IT
5:32 Oh yes, the folly of the 'secret message' game. Also known as 'telegraph/telephone', 'whisper', among many others.
Indeed, memory is imperfect, and is prone to failure for so many reasons.
If you liked doing this theory, then PROJECT 863 would be right up your alley! Created by Matthias Fredrick and his company, Spellbound Studios, this story follows Matt and his friends as they discover that a bio-engineering company inhabited the building they are currently in. A company which may have messed around with things ranging from mind control to murder.

MatthewPatthew you absolutely HAVE to recover this now that so much more content's been released
1:20 I'm crying of laughter omg that killed me
3:16 I can't believe I actually thought this was part of the theory *applause*
Maybe it’s just me, but this theory reminds me a lot of the struggle between the Assassins and Templars in the Assassin’s Creed games. The series has two shadowy organizations one standing for truth and freedom (Assassins) and one for tyranny and control (Templars). Compare that to MatPat’s theory on this video and some of the concepts line up.
Rewatching this after Generation Loss has happened is so interesting! It's so cool seeing how much matpat got right from just that 28 second clip, I hope he covers the full thing in the future!!
