I can say that questioning things is part of human nature (we didn't meet any other lifeforms yet). By questioning things we come in knowledge that there is good and evil. On the other side if we were ignorant, we would live without evil (also without the good). With no evil, we can have an utopia and if we were ignorant and have zero curiosity in the world around us, we would in a way deny that human nature of questioning things and become inhuman. Thus proving the fact, we can't be human if we want to live in utopia.

They say that ignorance is bliss. Sometimes it's simplicity that makes us happy because the ability to ask, wonder and perceive makes us confused. Unfortunately, in the world we live in, nature is dangerous and violent whether we're self-aware or not. At the end of the day, it's important to realize that we are self-aware and while we may hate the fact that we have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and answers, no matter what they are or how accurate they are, we are what we are. Whether consciousness is a blessing or a curse, it is what it is and it's up to us to navigate through this world with our awareness of it.

Instead of taking responsibility for our actions and helping them through their very own traumatizing childhood as a species, we left them alone, just as we were left alone. I hope we can be better than this, when we go out there into the dark. Capable of shouldering the responsibility we as the technologically superior species have towards our baby cousins.

[@NotSoSerious69420]

Honestly us leaving was probably the best choice. Would it have been better to mold them more in our own imagine than allow them to create their own for themselves with the unfortunate gift we gave them? As with any child, least in mental terms, is it better to allow themselves the opportunity to come to find themselves completely deprived of a model in which to aspire to? I think leaving them was probably the best move. It could also be a allegory for what happened to us in some sense and to ask if we'd have wanted them to intervene in our affairs is a hard question.

[@greenben3744]

@@NotSoSerious69420 I disagree. Teaching has the goal of presenting the options as far as we know them and showing the mentee how to come up with their own answers. I know that is not how teaching goes for the majority of us, but this is the core idea. Present the facts as they are and give a roadmap to climb according to their abilities. Leaving here is just abandonment.

[@nabing.c4713]

I have always pondered if it is worth knowing, seeing and understanding everything and be miserable and sad or be oblivious to everything and everyone and just be happy - if that's possible !! Well this video sums it up, words all of our thoughts into these nice little stories, Your work is awesome and keep going!!!

[@jaimej2908]

If you think about it, it's like we humans made a pact with the devil, the moment we gained the ability to have full consciousness and to learn from the past and make predictions for the future we advanced as a society, but it is also the only reason we sometimes feel miserable, animals will never feel anxious or depressed, they just do their thing

[@muggedinmadrid]

i've had the good fortune of travelling a lot, some 90 odd countries. the aliens in this video living a life of harmony, love, peace and health reminds me of locals I have met around the world who have had little or no exposure to western societies. berbers in the atlas mountains of morrocco, bedouin tribes in the deserts and villages of saudi arabia, simple folk in zanzibar, oman, nepal, pakistan and sri lanka. as a british person, I have learnt from them and learn to de-westernise myself as much as possible and live a simpler, purer lives like these noble, inspiring people.

[@weroleoify]

I don't think curiosity and happiness are opposites to each other. If you analyze it, it's not the questioning or even the answer to questions that make us angsty and sad, it's the expectation of something happening in the way we want. Ex. Your crush likes you back. Regrettably everyone likes to deceive themselves thinking "hey it might happen", but our rational part knows it most probably won't, that's where your anxiety comes from. It's not the old "stop expecting thing of people" advice, it's more of an accept the reality you live in and strive to change it to something you like instead of just hoping for something you know probably won't come if you don't work for it.

[@TheRavenvsv]

This video is so amazing! because it explain not only what could happen, if we could travel through space, but it can also explain what could have happened to us as a specie. And not just that, it also explain colonization in the world. At the end we are talking about a developed entity "teaching" their knowledge. Colonization was the rough way because they basically exterminated everything, every ancient knowledge and stuff, but the limited version can be like this. It is just amazing.

[@DamienZshadow]

I get that the obvious takeaway is that in our hubris we try to teach when we know so little and shouldn't fix what isn't broken. I would like to say that in this scenario, they are in fact closer to the truth. Sometimes you have to go through difficulties to make something better. Is it better to know the truth at the expense of war and suffering? I'm not quite sure but I do know that we are better off when we take agency and question everything. There are pitfalls on this journey but we are better off having taken in the first place.

Questioning does not ruin things. Political power does. Our minds are not the enemy. Our negative emotions are. Our fear and our jealousy are our biggest threats.

[@freesk8]

@Amit Tiwari Entering a gladiator contest does not make you a rational questioner. But people have done very brave things in the quest for knowledge and died for it. Marie Curie. The scientists who died on Mt. St. Helens when it erupted. Astronauts. I call such people heroes. You seem to be anti-intellectual. Anti-mind. Anti-science.

[@derpherp1810]

@@freesk8 Yeah honestly these anti-intellectuals remind me of Sukasa from Dr. Stone. Think bad, stronk good, live in harmony with nature, be monke. Tbh in the stone age most people would've lived miserable short lives. You'd be incredibly lonely, hungry, dealing with megafauna and diseases, you could be killed by others of your kind. Over the years the quality of life is getting better. There is still alot of suffering in this world but if we march forward and atleast try to find the secret to existence, we will atleast get closer to the truth and be closer to happiness. People take for granted the medicine and technology we have and it honestly pisses me off when people act like this. They are the problem.

If this is an original story you came up with, you should consider writing up a script and sending it to the Black Mirror show runners. Reminds me of the movie 'The Invention of Lying' about a civilization that doesn't know how to lie, until someone figures it out and turns everything upside down.
