I mean, if you count all the dead people, then yeah, I'd believe 60% are missing skeletons, a good chunk are missing everything lol

20:25 i first watched my neighbour totoro when i was still a kid and i really liked the sound that was made when the girls were running on the wooden floor of the house, after i watched it i noticed that the floor of the cabin that we were staying at at the time made the exact same sound when i was running around there barefoot and it might seem like such a simple thing but its one of my fondest memories in childhood and i remember it each time i watch any ghibli movies :)

Lol this video is a joke and missed the whole point of the show Wrong on every level

Talk about in one ear and out the other.

TLDW: Video author wants us to trust the experts I used to trust science, but then top universities claimed that Hyperloop is a great idea. And I happened to read the illogical research articles that claimed natural origins of the woo hawn flew. Better way to figure out truth in 2025: Step 0) Be aware that everything on the internet could be a lie / psyop Step 1) Do your own experiment Step 2) If the experiment is impossible, follow the money / motives* *also look out for hidden motives, false flags, etc.

To quote then-Justice Secretary Michael Gove speaking in 2016, as economists and public bodies spoke out against Brexit: "The people in this country have had enough of experts".

Not very smart huh? Next you'll tell us that starship troopers glorifies fascism.

What this analysis is missing is the role of intellectuals and experts in eroding the status of knowledge and expertise. Whether it's their own prejudice against those without advanced formal education that devalues great amounts of wisdom and knowledge not accumulated in their circles, their gatekeeping of laudable work that implies that the everyday man without the time or money to dedicate to achieving their status can't create/discover something of substance or importance, the arrogance of many experts or intellectuals who believe their status renders them infallible such that they don't learn from their follies, or the dishonesty of many in that status who sell the truth for a payout. People with senses unclouded by overinflated egos can perceive these things, even if they can't articulate it, and rightfully have a distrust towards that class. They see that real people in their lives have achieved much without necessarily having the degrees, they are alienated when experts label clearly good work as sub-par simply by the lower education status of the creator, they suffer when the expert makes emphatic proclamations about the problems and solutions that they take actions on - only to discover it was wrong, and they discover the grift many run simply through their status. When people's lived experiences runs counter to the ideologies disseminated by that class, there is a great loss of trust not only towards them, but the things they claim to stand for. It reminds me of the joke that 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name. Of course, not everyone in this class promotes these things, but it just takes enough visible ones to cause the damage. This video appears to have its foundations laid on the ideology often promoted by that class: that that the truth is held in their hands. I find that it leaves the otherwise intriguing and interesting analysis lacking.

i like roach. he knew exactly what to do with the rest of his cut-short life.

Dude, whats the song at 5:00??

i too have complicated feelings about the notebook ever since the first time i watched it when i was 14. romantic and sentimental movies are not my favorite even though i do like sad romance movies…. but hearing your perspective (especially at the end about how having a simple and normal life is enough) is making me see it in another light. thank you, i never thought about it that way 💛

Wow that's interesting ❤❤❤

This show reminds me of Death to 2020 and Death to 2021 lmao

"thinking about thinking is a waste of time" modern criminals: actively and increasingly recording their own crimes on platforms.

If you have no knowledge of a topic you can ask the person standing next to you and get an answer that will sound correct or at the very least plausible, whether that person has any actual knowledge or in the worst case, the answer will be willfully wrong in order to promote their agenda. This is what the US, Russia, China, (to name a few), and more directly the AI techbros are pushing to take advantage of. The AI they control will ALWAYS be the person standing right next to you with the "answer" for everything.

i think a lot of the issue for me is a simple lack of time. i spend 40 hours a week at my job with only around 3 hours of free time on weekdays. id rather wind down with a game or a movie than struggle to learn a new skill or read a difficult philosophy book. not to say its bad if you do those things, i wish i could, i just simply dont have the time

I think it's also influenced by people's school experience. Academic kids often get bullied which makes it 'cool' to not care. Which leads to anti-intellectualism

Cunk is anti anti-intellectualism. For the show to be funny you need to understand the subject, have a certain level of knowledge of it, or, at least, have common sense. I find, that when I meet people who don't find Cunk funny, it's highly unlikely that I will find them interesting.

But that's the joke. it's not like Shakespeare is that deep.

Try to actually have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener.

The video was alright I guess, but why all the talking in the background? I don't get it.

14:52

You said it perfect- she THOUGHT it was in her grasp- but she really was a stupid kid trying to put herself in adult situations she knew nothing about

I feel like this whole thing is just an elaborate ruse to test experts’ poker paces.

As a thirty somthin asian american in 2025, i could care less about representation or only having chinese play chinese. I just want a good show with good writing and good acting. Its fucking acting. Ur supposed to pretend. If u feel some type of way about it it means that actor or director sucks not the idea. Ppl are so full of themselves, its just an aidience of no talents wanting to see themselves on the big screen.

But what about him cheating over his wife lol I wanna know the tea drama not this.

I don’t know you say what?

Your voice sounds like a grown-up Nadine

"trust the professionals" holy kek

I think the show makes a point about the state of today's society. It is impossible for the academics in the show to dismiss Cunk as a humorist (assuming they are not in on the joke), given that we are witnessing alarming levels of ignorance and anti-intellectualism on a daily basis. The fact that Cunk is a believable character is the point.

The transphobic detransitioners remind me of this one church speaker from Singapore who "used to identify as a lesbian" but later "found Jesus" and is now meandering around calling every queer person a sinner and that they should self-censor, self-convert, and return to the closet for Jesus like she has. And she always has this demeanour of "i'm trying to save queer people" and that's what disgusts me about her 🤢

Socrates in Plato's dialogues says that no one knows anything and he differs from the others only in that he knows that he knows nothing. The heroine of this video plays a fool who knows everything. The problem is that she considers herself smart and knows everything. That is, according to Socrates, she does not realize that she knows nothing. And when she attacks religion, she becomes like a Soviet Komsomol member ridiculing priests. Here is an excerpt from my article written last summer: "In the modern description of the New Age, the suddenness of its onset attracts attention. Here was the Dark Middle Ages and suddenly, like Deus ex machina, the Renaissance and the Enlightenment begin. Where did all these educated intellectuals come from, who changed medieval society so much? The cult of reason comes to replace the religious cult. But where did reason suddenly get such phenomenal abilities? Where were they before? "... all this business of invention would not have moved a step from its place, if philosophy at that historical moment... had not thought of the category of this nature and only thereby for the first time opened its sphere for the searches and research of inventors..." (M. Heidegger, "European Nihilism") But the thinkers of the New Age do not see the source of their intellectual power. "... metaphysical dystrophy was accompanied by the actual flourishing of modern European philosophy... A new picture of the world opened up before the modern European philosophers, formed due to the constant narrowing of metaphysical horizon." ("On the Origin of Nihilism") That is, the cult of reason in the New Age was a cult of a rather limited reason."

Such biased video! (Btw anyone who loves history, loves more than just WWII or the Roman Empire but also loves those topics. Those topics are as valid as learning about the Han Dynasty or how the internal politics of the Ottoman Empire changed the empire from the inside, all of that is as valid as to learn about the poetry in Persia, all of those are valid historically speaking. There was a clear negative attitude towards people who enjoy history about the Roman Empire or WWII as if those are not valid topics. But hey, the whole video is very left leaning and partisan)

Yeah but Cunk wasn't a racism mossad front

This would do numbers on Spotify

18:00 i am watching this video is 2x speed.

To think, this is what Dr. Steven Brule could've been. Except that Steven is a doctor, so he kinda already knows everything, hmm'k. edit: Oh God, Brave New World is one of the most depressing stories I've ever read. Very challenging read thru.

I think one of the biggest things that Cunk's satire reveals is how the documentary format can be manipulated. When she directly tells the experts she's meeting with to say something and they say it, even if they don't believe it, you can see how an actual dishonest documentary could, without even that much cutting up of a speaker's words, make them support a narrative they don't agree with.

Diane Morgan is a great stand-up too.

This explains in striking, highlighting detail, why it's important to tow the line between actually educating yourself and also sharpening your own personal relatability and humor. You're either amusing yourself to death and voting for Trump, 30 years before you see the very rallies you're at in an ominous documentary, or, you're educated and smart but so detached from the hoi polloi that you'll never be taken seriously until Cunk rings you up to get people to laugh at you. There is no solution other than to keep the balance. Frightening.

Or, maybe institutional corruption has lead expertise to be corrupt... Ever think of that? No.

The "rise" of? Anti-intellectualism has been around for millennia. Heck 20yo ago we were making fun of nerds. Still do now.

HMMM... ok, I'm gonna watch another video essay so I can have someone process media for me

Lilo & stitch and The emperor's New groove are two of my favorite Disney movies. I like that neither one of them are like normal Disney movies

I hate the team person of color Asians have white skin so they are not a color

(They) aren't as logical. Therefore. This is invalid.

Just enjoy a great movie! 😊

A lot of art and classic literature are boring and overrated. It's like an inflated stock where people think something is valuable because a bunch of other people think it's valuable. See: The Monalisa, The Great Gatsby, the Bible. And yes, despite the following the Bible has swearing by it, it takes a fair bit of sheer will to suffer through the thing. The emperor is naked.

I was thinking about how I want to leave this world behind and then the video ended with that UFO exit and the exact same quote that I was thinking. "I wish that were me". This video truly sucked the life force out of me. We own nothing and soon we won't even know anything. Both ownership and truth is becoming a mere tool for the powerful few to enslave us - to work and to consume. No space for invention, self realization and free though. And soon, everything will be endlessly dumbed down, mutated and regurgitated with biases by artificial intelligence feeding only on the already altered training data. Like burning books, except instad of burning we just lose them among the billions of fake books being created every day. The internet, any form of social life and freedom will soon be dead, that is if they aren't already. At this point, an apocalypse that sends us a hundred years back might be the best thing to happen to humanity.

So basically Americans discredit reason just so they don't feel bad because they don't understand the topic.
