338 - The stories that were never told

Read the 000 description first.
This is the continuation:
So was it better when people were living in their blissful ignorance but the engine kind of worked?
No idea. But was it really working anyway?
I didn't make videos because I really enjoyed making them.
I made them because I'm a human that needed to go my own way.
Did you ever understand what I was trying to tell you all these years?
It doesn't seem to me like anyone stopped to think why I made ~Driving through a Dream~ 9 years ago. Maybe it was my fault for being naive and having any hope that anybody would understand. As if a car rising on top of a cliff with the words "I'm lonely, please come and play." was not obvious enough.
It's ok to be stupid, we all make mistakes, but did you ever try to understand the world and other people? Because that is how you "love". So when some "ignorant, confident, dumb, idiot f*ck" comes to you with an opinion that is not even his, you can "love" him (or her for that matter) because you can understand where he's coming from, even when they don't accept you. That is someone who doesn't know how to love and would rather hurt you than to deal with his fears. He's completely lost but it's good to have your limits too.
Now imagine the consequences of making those humans feel "free", being able to do whatever they want. Would society collapse? Or would it work like a clock? Any examples coming to mind?
You know what is harder than picking a side and believing in something?
Not comprehending. That, is pure fear. Anything can happen, you have no control. Infinite possibilities, you can't even begin to predict the future. Chaos. You are powerless. You can't protect yourself. We are that primitive.
To the "idiot f*ck": What if you start dealing with that instead of giving in to delusions and escapism? How did you miss the whole point?
How do you think you can start to build anything if you haven't dealt with that first?
When was the last time you replied "I don't know." knowing that it would have made you appear stupid and hurt your ego?
Or the last time you decided to disprove your views, to suffer?
You see, this is the problem. Nobody should suffer. But isn't life inherently suffering?
There are no shortcuts. Not everyone survives. If you aren't suffering then you are basically not growing, not learning, and, thus, not alive.
Through suffering we can learn to appreciate one another. But when you have a world full of people who avoid it watching countless seasons of series made to make them feel "better", then scrolling through TikTok all day, drinking, or playing repetitive video games to pass time, you have a world that doesn't live, and that doesn't know how to love.
And that is regardless of age, sex or whatever the f*ck your location is on this f*cking ball.
Deal with the fear of the unknown alone and then you might start to see why humans do anything. Then you might want to read a book because you are curious. Then you might start to see what's behind my videos. Then you might feel happy simply for having a beating heart. If you want to grow, you have to create your own "Dodeca", there are NO SHORTCUTS.
You may find some good examples among people, but no-one that can really save you.
Accepting that you might have been living in a sleeping state will be more difficult the older you are. The thought that you might have wasted the limited time that you have will be painful.
But that's ok. You can always keep living in the lie. You can do absolutely anything. Again, there is no "truth". That means there is no lie either, right? Don't let DaniXks tell you how to live your life.
And that's when it all falls apart again. The ultimate contradiction.
Now that we have a common ground we can start to see the boat we are all in. Now we can see why we try to comprehend the universe and ourselves...to make our suffering more bearable. We look for things that give us comfort. If they don't exist we invent them. We create chairs, beds, houses, infrastructures, music, art, science, love. We make the stories that we want to hear and we keep living as if they were true. Whether that will help us or spoil us is up to us.
We will never experience what it means to be each other. We will never be given the true comprehension we all need. It hurts. Embracing the subjectivity of it all is hard.
We are not gods. We have no clue what we or anything is doing here. But we have a consciousness capable of abstract thought, capable of creating complex models that can translate what we call "reality" to us.
To be more accurate, it creates it for us.
We can use that to make our lives better or to burn everything up, or both, or neither.
Knowledge can be a double edged sword. Ignorance also. We all have our limits.
But let's not forget the chaos we are coming from. Because one day, we will cease to exist, and we will not want to have lived in vain.
Live your life, think freely...try to love each other.
For the stories that were never told. :)

(i wrote a super long comment here then pressed a button and wiped it away. silly me. lets try this again) it's certainly interesting to see people grow wary of humanity's insignificance. one does not know whether to feel emboldened by their lack of influence, or to sink into fear and nihilism. it is not uncommon for people to distance themselves from growth or change in their lives, not out of arrogance or stubbornness, but out of a feeling of apathy for life in general (i have been guilty of such feelings in the past). as i read further into posthumanism, i become increasingly aware of the fact that humanity's self-centered understanding of the world not as complete as we would wish to believe. many are abandoning efforts to understand the world outside of the boundaries of empirical statistics, in the face of humanity's de-centering. where does one anchor themselves in this empty space? as i write this, i still don't know. i don't think i'll ever know. all i can be sure of is how i feel. all i can do is whatever makes me feel happy. i must stay close to these flickering dots of happiness, however permanent, important or real they may or may not be. otherwise, i suppose i'd just be floating through darkness forever. maybe that makes me sound a little selfish, the idea that i'm only living for my own happiness. i don't feel like discussing issues of egoism here. i just know that it's how i think about things. i can't claim to know how anyone else understands the world. even if we all wrote down our methods of comprehending reality, it wouldn't provide any mutual understanding. language is a rather poor tool in that sense. on the topic of language, i thought about something you wrote in part 1 - something about the way something is said taking precedence over what is actually being said. while this could easily be labelled as a form of vanity, i don't believe it's such an inherently bad thing. as i stated earlier, language is not a perfect form of communication. however, it is unfortunately all we can use to express our understanding of the world, and help those around us to see the world from different points of view. considering the immense power of language, i believe we have something of a responsibility to shape our language in a way that helps others to clearly understand what we are trying to express. writing techniques found in literature aren't merely aesthetic choices from the author, nor do they take precedent over the solid meaning of the text. the way something is said can make it easier to express what it is you're trying to say, and when some things are so incredibly difficult to put into words, i believe that the way something is said deserves acknowledgement along with it's concrete meaning. sorry if this all comes off as irrelevant gibberish in the context of these videos. hopefully you can take comfort in the fact that you got me feeling thoughtful enough to write all this down. i think that's something to be proud of. however you're feeling right now, i hope that producing art like this provides you with some form of solace. thank you for continuing to inspire me all these years after i found your channel. ♥

after going through part 1 and part 2 i just feel sad, and sorry for myself that I didnt continue to keep beein in touch with you like i have been 4 years ago. Time is going by so fast now and i am trying to be faster and faster while this concept we call time is ticking. What keeps me going, is to achieve things. Things myself declared to be my own footprint in this world and to have this goal, to achieve it, is just the best way to stay on track while other derail. But even if you still stay on line it can at any point happen that just a small stone is enough to make you crash. And then what? Try to get back on the same track... or try another one... or just stop? Beeing "sane" isnt what keeps you going. It needs fuel, and even if it is madness.

[@Toopliss]

I appreciate your writing. A lot of it really resonates with me. ❤️

Can't believe we're just a small blue ball in the emptiness of space worrying about day to day stuff. We're like microbes under the microscope trying to carry on with all our life things without even knowing if somebody else knows we exist.

If only there was an "on/off" switch for the brain.

[@DaniXks]

It's still ok.

[@biko9824]

Thank you.

[@gremoryclan5001]

Is it?

[@EggBastion]

I wish I even had a word of encouragement I could offer. Maybe it's a bit much to assume you even need it *_; ?_*

Description cut short on mobile, only visible as far as - _"When was the last time you replied 'I don't know' knowing that it would..."_ Maybe just copy it to the pinned comment instead?
