- THINGS ARE SCARY RIGHT NOW! If you're fortunate enough to be in a position where you can support artists, perhaps visit my wonderful merch store? It's at Crowdmade.com/NateIsLame.
My videos can be a lil sad sometimes, but it's sometimes important to put everything into perspective and really reflect on the nature of everything. In this special lil meditation on existential nihilism and Terror Management Theory, I try my darned hardest to answer a really easy question: Why do anything?
I know this is some pretty intense and heavy subject matter, but I really hope you watching this will come away from this feeling energized and motivated rather than bummed and stuff. Everything kinda does suck for everyone, especially right now. But that's kinda more the reason to continue tricking yourself that it doesn't.
All we have is our perception of the world and our day to day experiences. Why throw that away, ya know?
The brilliant song at the end is "Nothingness Vs. The Optimistic Spirit" by St. Terrible, my favorite artist in the northwest United States. Check it out on Spotify and stuff if you can.
By the way! I kinda tasked myself with a challenge for this video: I wanted movement in EVERY SINGLE SECOND of this project. No still stick dudes running through lines like a Powerpoint. I'm kinda experimenting to make my videos a lil more visually interesting. If you thought this was a neat lil thingiemabobber, please let me know. I'm very self conscious and nervous about trying new things.
BY THE WAY SOME DISCLAIMERS!
This video is kinda approaching this topic from a secular perspective. If you're like "but the Bible says sdfjkahfkjdhaskfdh" we're not gonna get anywhere. We're on two very different planes of information to compare and contrast. I talk about religion stuff more in-depth in my other video, "My Thoughts on Religion."
"But Nate, we don't completely know if-" Listen dude, you're free to think whatever you'd like. That's cool. I'm not here to change minds or anything, I'm just here to think out loud and draw silly stick people and whatever. But when you assert some level of uncertainty on the very fabrics of reality, our understanding of the laws of nature, and so on so forth... You're kinda going toe-to-toe with brilliant scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding, testing, and experimenting with this stuff. The scientific method is never 100% certain on anything, but it's often 99.9% sure about most of the stuff it asserts. Just because you don't completely understand how something works doesn't mean it's untrue. It's your responsibility to educate yourself.
"But Nate, the meaning of life is a test! We're put here to make our own decisions, to be good people! Choosing between good and evil, free will, so on so forth!" This is not a very well thought-out assertion like... at all dawg. It basically comes down to this: If God is omnipotent, he's in control of whether or not injustice is a necessary foil to extract obligatory meaning out of anything. He also knows the outcome of all moral situations he throws his creations into. Either god is bound to pre-existing ideals or he's evil. But again, this video is also kinda assuming we're on a secular basis of understanding with each other. I'm just throwing this disclaimer in here since I know there are gonna be hundreds of 14 year olds trying to argue this in the comments, and it's gonna blow up my phone for months on end after I've posted this video.
Wow you actually read all this? I'm impressed. You get a banana Laffy Taffy for your efforts.

You got me with that at the end. Probably the one time I actually watched the endcard of someone's video.
As much as your video does make sens I think you miss a few very optimistic point of views. I occasionally slip into the same thought circle that is hard to crawl out from but am reminded of every day that humanity is only a step before immortality. Human Ai synchronization is possible in theory and is predicted to be achieved in 2050, genetic manipulation that presumably would destroy the act of aging is possible in the near future, cures from diseases of all kinds pop up every day, multiverse theory provide the possibility of a safe space after the end of the universe and many other scientific revolutions are made every day push humanity a step further into immortality. These steps are just to many for use normies too keep track of. Harari writes very interesting books on human development and future development and would recommend it if stuck in a cyckle of dispair. Because even if you will try to distract yourself from the void by family, love or hobbies it will always be watching you. It’s impossible to ignore the void once you have looked in it, concurs it instead. The beginning you cannot change but the end is not set in stone as you seem to believe.
@@scarykloky519 Sorry man, but immortality is not achievable, period. You can copy your brain into a computer, but it's not like your true perception is what lives on. The you inside the program is just a copy. You're still going to die no matter what. Life extending medical breakthroughs will be nice, but they don't have a surgery to prevent heat death and murder. You are not going to live forever, period. None of the optimistic notes you brought up provide compelling rebuttals for this video unfortunately. :(
NateIsLame but what do you consider true perception then? Every new experience change a person, if a copy with all your memories and experience in a new vessel would just be another experience of yourself. Maybe here it’s a matter of personal opinions, but in my opinion the thing that makes up an individual is the experience of life not the vessel we are contained in. I mean I don’t have the same perception of life as I did as a toddler, was toddler me and me now have some special connection that me in human vessel or computer vessel can’t have. I would argue no, in both cases our abilities change as well as our perception. And sure right now being saved from heat death seems impossible but concidering that fourth dimension (or fifth dissensions if you count time) was discovered last year I can imagene the possibility of trans ending physical vessels at all, sure this is just a theory with no grounds but there are billions of years until heat death and I can believe that as humanity (or the altered species we transform in to) will have enough knowledge of physics, technology and other fields to be able to avoid it. And sure murder will go on for some time but not everyone will be murdered and concidering that crime rates in murder consistently fall through the centuries as well as the likelihood of surging murre has gone up I could imagene that even murder would become just a memory of a way of life thousands of years ago.
@@NateIsLame well okay sure, maybe it's all just a distraction from oblivion after heat death but I don't get why a copy is not the same as yourself. Like you change everyday, you said that perception is what you experience right now, and you will not able to experience right now even in another vessel. Maybe my English is not enough to truly express my ideas fully, I can't claim that I am right, that it's that way our technology will go. Maybe we will be nuked before that. What I am saying is that humans can overcome our biological death if time through various mean, we have already prolonged life more than it was biologicaly predicted to be able too through medicin and technological advancement. Becuse we have no true way of knowing the future I don't think we can certainly say that we are going to die out as species, I maybe will die tomorow, maybe I will get new medecin that will proloungue my life for centuries and to that point in time there is a new medecin that will proloungue life even more. Becuse of our exponential technical evoulution it's hard to predict the future but with what little knowledge of the world I have I think it's a possibility that we could survive a heth death. For me personally the meaninglessness of life has nothing to do with my death or the death of the species. Becuse there is a possibility of us being able to cheat death and let's say we do the universe is still meaningless, death has nothing to do with it.

Never stress about anything in life because nothing lasts so nothing really matters.
This was kinda a relief for me. If nothing matters than that means that all my struggles and everything bad in the world doesn't matter. We're all gonna die at some point and most of us will not be remembered so why worry about bad decisions, the past or any of that stuff.
Well yes but no Because to us it does matter for right now but In the end nothing does

That's a fucking Modest Mouse lyric
It doesnt matter
There is a lot of things to know about this earth some of them :
---God is too powerful because we cant comprehend the making of an earth and would never reach anywhere closer to making one
---God is wise , we leave on a place unlike any place in the universe , a place where its easy to live where no.worries about oxygen levels in the atmosphere , the impact of gravity is nearly unnoticed on our bodies,we have food , we have landscapes to enjoy,we have drinkable water,its not too cold so we freeze and not too hot to melt or burn , even animals are stronger than us but we can take control of them , we have night so we can sleep and we have morning so we can work...etc
---God is great because all what you have is given to you by him for free
---God is merciful for giving us minds to understands his laws and use them for our benefit
and more...
I’m glad that I finally found someone who talks about this type of stuff with honesty. Thank you.

Death shouldn't be like your getting discarded, or deleted, but more like returning to a welcoming home after a long vacation if you still felt, that would be like how I imagine it to be.
You walk into a strangely familiar location, you're sight is hazy, like a dream, and you have an obscurely comforting melody playing in you're head. Your all alone, and yet, your together with you're friends, family, pets, and all of you're favorite things to pass along the time, are all fully accessible and right in front of you're eyes.
But yet, you have a lingering sensation like nothing your seeing even exists. Like nothing could be wrong with your true happiness, but there is, and your not sure what. You just start to realize nothing around you looks anything like you remember it, and yet you have no memory of anything, and soon, all around you the world starts to fade into dust.
Nothing else could be wrong, but you get the urge to do something with what's left of your world you knew, and formed some dust into a sphere. And it hold up an its own, then you realize, its just like a galaxy.
You think of a random object, and it magically appears.
Your world turned into a galaxy.
You think, trying to imagine what happened before and all you can think of is an earth like planet, and you start creating rules and life's building blocks, like trees, soil, water, air, and so many ideas flow into you're mind you can barely keep up with them.
Then you lose most control, and all you can create is the species that takes over and populates the planet you created.
And you spend an ungodly amount of time, and your finally finished. You made it in the shape of the only thing you can think of, yourself. And so it begins......

Cosmic Nothings Reprise is a really amazing song
I came to the point where I discover nothing matters. Whatever I do, whatever I think, nothing matters it will all be gone after my last breath. And it's been going for years. For the last seven years Ive had this thought of suicidal, as I felt nothing matters. I continue going thru this life finding it purpose. I've watched several videos liked this but nothing makes me feel what I felt from watching yours. Sad, self-pity and then smiling on the end.
I felt like your thoughts are completely the same what had been playing on my mind but not the ending part. And so, I came to the conclusion that I must agree with you, just enjoy the fleeting moment of our little lives while we can.
Ever asked yourself why are we a special race unlike animals ,plants ,or any inhabitant of earth ?
"when your on that hospital bed surrounded by your loved ones fading into the nothingness I hope it's not filled with regret and hopelessness. I hope you accept it as a welcome break after yelling into the void"
That hit hard. I've been thinking about how I'm gonna be the people you see die in tv shows. How I'm going to be an old guy not knowing when my last day is, but knowing my death day is near and it scared me to my core, but this helped me realize maybe it's not such a bad thing. I realized that it's a break that I'll get no matter what, but I still hope to earn.

Although I know it's unlikely that you'll see this comment, seeing as this video is 3 years old, I still want to thank you. Thank you for making this video. Thank you for being honest, for not mincing words or using euphemisms to make this all seem more palatable than it actually is. Thank you for giving me a new perspective on life, the universe, and the end of everything.
All I can say about this is: Thank you. I’m starting to have an existential crisis similar to the one you mentioned in your video about religion where I have become scared of death and the nothingness that follows it. This video helped me understand that it’s ok, I’m not gonna be here forever so I might as well make this life a good one. Thank you so much and stay safe out there

i respect this so much, as a christian myself i really respect other’s opinions and ideas of “after life” if i’m honest i don’t even know how to feel about the “after life” to be honest i believe it will be forever bliss in a bench looking out into the white void and not thinking, talking, or doing anything. i’m just happy i can hear other’s opinions on it before i go because it might be what i think or what you think i don’t know and it’s great that we can live in peace between our thoughts and opinions so thank you for this
Time to cry baby

If you believe, there’s still a chance that you might wrong, don’t forget.
wowza didn’t expect nateo himself to like this, ThAnKs NaTe
@animeFAN104 I guess it’s just comforting. To me if there is even a chance that there is an afterlife gives me hope i guess
So this is where Nate reads some Nietzsche and goes full blown nihilist, I guess.
Nietzsche is extremely difficult to read and complex, but as far as I can tell, he’s defiantly not a nihilist.
@@finneganmcbride6224 I read Nietzsche and talked about nihilism in is life and did some research. As it seems, there are 4 different types of nihilists and Nietzsche is and active Nihilist, Tell me what you think about this and share your opinion, would love to read it
J0gand0 Nietzsche didn’t believe necessarily that meaning was in the world in the same way objects like tables and chairs are, but he did believe that meaning could emerge through the interaction of human minds with their environments. When Nietzsche announced that “God is dead,” he claimed that human beings would have to learn to create their own values, and that want a human being was was most fundamentally a meaning creating being.
Finnegan McBride “Every belief, every considering something-true is necessarily false because there is simply no true world”
- Nietzsche, Will to Power
Now, I don’t think Nietzsche himself was a nihilist- from what I remember, he was a thinker similar to Camus in that he argued that inside of the abyss of values that the death of God brought, we ought to create new values in light of that. Still, due to Nietzsche’s skepticism of morals and metaphysics in the light of his “death to God”, one could come away from reading Nietzsche a nihilist; same with Camus. From what I interpret, they’re both nihilists to an extent in that they believe there’s a void of inherent meaning and purpose in life, but their response to that void is to say “Fuck you, I’ll create my own meaning anyway”.
It was also a joke that shouldn’t be taken too seriously, but meh, I’m here for the discourse.
@@jfrazorofficial7355 Just to add the to the comment chain, there is a great podcast on Spotify called Philosophize this! that you may all like.
this is honestly one of, if not, the best videos i’ve ever seen, i can’t stop rewatching it every time life gets a little rough, and i can’t thank you enough for making it.
Dude this video is beautiful. I’m a Christian and I don’t see myself ever being otherwise, but I feel that this is such a universal outlook on life. No matter what religion/atheist beliefs you subscribe to there’s nothing you can do about your eventual death except make your life as fulfilling as it possibly can through any number of goals you have for yourself in your own life. I personally feel that God is real and that I have worked on a solid connection with him in my own life, and hope to make it stronger as I go on. I have other goals as well for myself, but I still have this hope that an afterlife is waiting for me. There are just too many people I want to feel the presence of and speak with again. Too many people I miss or have never even met that I want to see and I hope heaven is for real. In the meantime, however, I’ll try my best to spend my time doing things I enjoy, and more importantly giving and receiving love from people around me in all different forms. At some point in this video though I will say I was like this is WAY too dark but I’m so happy I stuck around because by the end something was wonderfully heartwarming about this video. Thank you Nate I subbed
Whenever I see a kid in public I sometimes think of the day the will realize their inevitability. I realized this a very young age. Around about 9-10. I think how they had no choice in coming into this world, and even if they look happy now, where will they be in 20 years? Life’s unfair, and those 5 year olds could die tomorrow. Then I remember that there’s nothing I can change about it, so there’s no reason to dwell on it.
the last part about not being able to change anything, that's basically stoicism, right?
@@andreeabuhai6314 No, stoicism is essentially just a lack of expression or worry.
@@burdy2959 yeah but that last part is kinda what stoicism is, idk it's about the awareness of not being able control anything in this world except your actions
@@andreeabuhai6314 Uh, not really but ok
At a young age I accepted the fact that things were this way, personal problems, bullies. I'm pretty sure I've been depressed all my life, even when I was young and I tried to cover it up by doing other things. Honestly, I don't really know how I feel on the topic of the future, and I'm probably going to be continuing this lifestyle for a while. I've had this sense of this responsibility about something (not getting into it) that I always had this ya know extra, and most times I just wish I didn't and that I didn't have that much weight. And then all the stuff wrong with me, that slowly slipping of myself until I'm this blob who just feeling sorry I ever even tried to began to be a nice person. I don't even know if I believe in an afterlife, frankly, I don't believe in a god, maybe a few of them, hundreds, but it doesn't matter what I believe in because I'm still faced with that afterlife, is it one I deserve? No, and I have that responsible all my life for no apparent reason so yeah I'm definitely depressed, I can't deal, and I can't make myself feel better.
please dont give me another existential crisis.
Also Nate, can I throw out the Descartian argument and say that omnipotence is above logic? Just asking
Some people have a midlife crisis, I have a midday crisis
@@quassont838 😓
Existential crisis LMAO
Even if I try hard I still don’t have any existential crisis because it seems so obvious that NatlesLame is right and no matter we exist for a reason or not it doesn’t matter.
Why can’t just live and not care.
Too late.
i’ve been in and out of an existential crisis for a few years now and your videos always help me stay grounded, thanks man
Watching this high was such a mistake
That's why people believe in religion, so they can be sane. So they can have a purpose. I get it, we all will become nothing but sometimes making a purpose for yourself kind of helps with pushing forward. Also go buy Nate's merch.
🤣🤣👍
It's important that there are still creators around who aren't afraid to talk about the tough stuff, the things that are scary. Keep sharing your thoughts dude, we'll be listening. ✌
This is my favorite RUclips video ever made, it made me feel blue and warm, truly beautiful
Life gets overwhelming from time to time. This video makes me feel better about everything that I think is important.
If life is pointless then why feelings exists ? why arent we neutral ? what is the need of mind and intellect if there is nothing meaningful in this life to stamble upon ?
Probably the best out look on life.

You are one of the youtubers i feel like they are a person and not an identity that was created only to be "#relatable" ,so thank you once again

I feel oddly comforted by the thought that nothing I do really matters in the long run and that once the people I knew after I die nobody will know me. Just makes me feel relieved and hopeless in a good way
Because it remove the sense of responsibility and the worry about whats right and wrong but it is comforting necause lack if knowledge and understanding , once you know more about existance it hurts more to deny a meaning and purpose behind it
I searched “how to live your life knowing nothing matters” and this came up. Simply perfect. This is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you!

Thank you for making this video. This type of stuff has been on my mind too. This kinda helped me think about it.
I cant explain how much I love this, because it feels real beyond "#relatable". It doesnt sound like you're a personality formed on this platform, it sounds like you're an actual human being. This video may seem depressing or upsetting to a lot of people but it gives me hope and inspiration to live life a little better. Thankyou so much for this, because I honestly cant imagine finding another video that gives me the feelings and hope this one does.
Honestly the realization of how nothing truly matters so I should just do things that I enjoy when I can is really nice motivation to live.

1960 - The Montreal Canadiens win 5th consecutive Stanley Cup

Thank you for this video. It’s helped liberate me from my past and make the most out of the rest of my life. Thank you.
Nate is honestly my favorite RUclipsr.
screw those videos titled "dont kill yourself!", this video is what us suicidal peeps need. This.gave me a more of a will to live than anything else on youtube. You my sir, are doing good shit with your life. Keep at it and right back atchya, stay spicy.
Exactly. They don't give an explanation it's just "people love/will miss you."
"Others will miss you" Is so hypocritical. Its the exact kind of reasoning that leads people there in the first place. When you try and use it as a counter argument it just becomes the nail in the coffin
This is why boredom exists,because if there was a world without boredom,then people would realize that nothing matters,they would become sad or mad or even suicidal,but then when boredom comes in,they have to,to keep their sanity,and they do it to distract them
Nate I sincerely hope and pray for the sake of you, me and everyone else on this planet, that eternal nothingness never happens and heaven is real and we can all go there and be happy and at peace forever. Also I recommend the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once it’s a really funny, insane, and emotional film that deals a lot with nihilism and says how everything does matter. I don’t know if it will change your opinion on the nothingness or not, I just hope you will find some peace or comfort from it.
everything everywhere all at once kinda has the exact same message as this. i appreciate your sentiment!!! you're incredibly kind.
This video gave me massive anxiety towards the middle, possibly because this is my greatest fear. A year and a half ago I went through a major existential depression that lasted a few months.
But this video made me feel better at the end, and I feel like I'm prepared slightly better for when I inevitably die.
I think content like this is important in a way that's pretty hard to describe. Especially in a time like this when everything is depressing, and doesn't seem to be following any rhyme or reason. Things are scary, death is rampant, and no one knows when it's all going to go back to normal. Or, rather, no one knows if it ever will. Having a more nihilistic attitude has, paradoxically, helped me cope with everything.
this made me cry, thanks for changing my look towards life.
This is divine. THANK YOU!!

God, I loved this video. One of the few things to actually make me cry, and more than just my eyes tearing up. But it wasn't out of sadness, though. I don't really know what it was out of. But I cried. You're one of my favorite RUclipsrs, and the wait for every one of your videos is worth it.
Recently I've started to say to myself often that I'm grateful for everything that I've experienced, including the bad things, and that I'm glad to exist. I do this because I've thought about the inevitable end as well, and I've also realized that the point of life is to experience things and to make the most of what you have. Thank you so much for making this. I'll be coming back to this video.
I also plan on getting some of your merch when I can.
I'm pretty sure this video flipped a switched in my perspective on life, so thank you, sincerely.
Usually it takes a full two hours for a show or movie to make me feel something. You’ve done it in ten minutes. Thank you for making this vid
oddly enough listening to that was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders
I really do hope you keep up the serious themes in your content that is to come, these topics are really interesting and don’t get talked about as much as “silly story time lol”, it’s a more unique style
not even kidding, this video made me cry so much at the end.
When the song started to play as you made your outro, I just sat in my chair staring at my screen with a tear on my face.
I'm religious and most likely always will be, but I find it terrifying that everything I believe is most likely a construct to distract from death.
This video really made me contemplate my place in the universe and think about life I love videos like this. Thanks

i dont understand what ur saying, dont they mean the same thing
I’m a Christian and though I have doubts sometimes I have watched videos like this and many many others and my faith still remains. This video saddens me but it’s also something I completely understand, and I hope everyone watching this and Nate too can encounter God in a major way and find purpose beyond this short life. Stay safe everyone and God bless all of you!
🙏
Same😊
God is a saftey blanket that some people don't want, and that this man obviously does not need. If it makes your life feel more meaningful, than good on you. But to any religous people where it doesn't give you any happiness, remember, the void is waiting. Don't waste your life, it really is all you get.
@@blackscreenman6117 your right he is our safety and most people look for God kinda because it's like a craving for him because he is real
@@benextraanimates7398 a...craving for him? Maybe sound a little less wierd next time. Seriously.
This just gave me the motivation to do a ton of things I never thought I would’ve ever had the motivation to do, thanks a ton Nate
Oh my god. Finally someone who gets me. I'm so happy I found this video to put into words what I think and how I feel. Thank you. 😊
I’m so glad I found a RUclipsr who has the same scary thoughts as me. It makes me feel not alone, in a way.
This video helped me cope with the fact that i will die and I can't change by the ending of the video which inspired me to live life without worry of something I can't change.
Thank you. Ive been in a state of disillusion this year due to family, work and personal mental issues. This video is what i needed to see today.
I can’t even express in words how excited I am to start binge watching this channel it seems so underrated
This made me cry cause Ive been really sad and unmotivated to do anything because why if we all gonna die. But now I see why. Thank you
Thank you for making this video. I'm going through crippling, disabling existential depression and OCD. It is driving me crazy that I'll never know what not existing is like until I die. I used to be extremely religious and I was always comforted with the idea of heaven so to have that ripped away from me with this harsh reality, I don't want to do anything. I now know I need to rationalise these thoughts because overthinking all of this won't give me any answers. I hope I can get through this and if not, hey it doesn't matter- I'll be dead. But until then, we have to live relatively (which is so hard when you're aware of the relativity).
this is probably the most beautiful video I've watched on youtube. it doesn't matter because nothing will last forever. and that's exactly why it's so beautiful :)
This is amazing. I’ve always loved the idea of the void, a place with no worry no... anything. But this showed me others don’t think the same way.
This is probably one of the best videos to be made
It felt naïve striving for something meaningless, including life itself. Like unlocking rare video game achievements that no one will care about. But I also realize that if I’m already doomed to this meaninglessness, why not make the best of it.
Hey, I know this is an older video and you probably won't see this, but it really needed this right now. Thank you so much Nate.
This video is a banger. Complete Eye Opener
(SERIOUS)
Hey for everyone that just got a real existence crisis, like me. Please before going to bed in pure terror, talk to someone about it. It does not matter who it is, it could even be a stranger on the street who is willing to listen. Or just write me here in the comments, though I would recommend talking face to face about.
Why should we do anything if it is all going to end? Isn't life just a vessel for needless pain?
This is the most deep and meaningful video I've watched yet. Thank you.
I honestly feel like this video just helped clean up my perspective enough to perhaps save the rest of my life. Thank you.
