I’m convinced Pursuit of Wonder is actually an omniscient being trying to teach us lessons
He's like an alien version of Socrates
His ability to bring things into awareness, with crystal clear clarity is second to none - he is without doubt a master. I greatly appreciate what he offers & how🌟.
Blessings & love to all - we are oneness🛐🌈💗.
@Laplace TOTG yea i was wondering this myself. He could be reworking old short stories.
Honestly it makes sense and it may be true

This story could also be taken as an allegory of what happens to each human from child to adult.
Very true
Yes
The end of innocence. I agree.
ha... with ur big soppy pink idea of childish innocence.. there was nothing innocent about this baby
Insightful.
this just took "Ignorance is bliss" to another level
Rousseau would be so proud of this, as it almost out does even the "noble savage" schlock.
Innocence is bliss, ignorance is the perception of awareness.

@K - Dot because the thing that the fictional humans did is still bad, even if it happened in a fictional setting.
Yeah this is like some country invading other country with less technology..
@K - Dot hes not wrong tho...this begs the question, is asking questions a good thing or a bad thing
I was scrolling through the comments when i started the video and u kinda spoiled the plot😂😂
@K - Dot would you consider it a good thing to help turn a peaceful, loving culture into one that actively attempts to kill itself based on differences? The intentions may have been pure, but that doesn’t mean that the humans didn’t commit a bad deed in the end.

I'm so glad there's still content like this on RUclips. Pretty soon no one would even bother making these kinds of videos becuase of a terrible audience.
His average audience isn't much better. Instead of intelligently discussing, debating and pondering on what was said, they just post quotes they've heard/meta jokes lol. When deep complex topics like this are brought up and no one writes more than a sentence , You KNOW the world is going down the drain.
@@ViolenVaymire This isn't to say that none do. Why one doesn't always need to share there thoughts, or perhaps they don't wish to. One might also watch for entertainment with out the capacity or maybe without caring to further develope what the have consumed. Being close minded and pessimistic will not bring about the change needed. Concluding, bring about this conversation if you find it to be worth while. Make attempts to engage and with good demeanor and may you grow in your knowledge and conversation skills.
@The Chairman of The Board Yeah but sometimes it gets kind of suspicious. Like when people "expresses" a joke/meme it gets overused and copied everywhere else in the comments and other videos. Leading to comments being a meme community rather than an actual respectable comment section.
People have been saying this about RUclips and any media since scrolls where all the rage.
search exurb1a's videos! he posts philosophic/scientific content as well :)
as an Physics enthusiast.
this video shook me to the base.
physics is all about taking out things and understanding them, questioning nature, but does that take closer or further to truth ?
My thought is: we have developed our knowledge out of necessity, and as of now there is no turning back. In our environment - on Earth, such utopia would not exist even without humans. Maybe it could only exist someday where the world has gotten to a point where knowledge is, for some reason, no longer necessary. Or where life has started differently.
if we define truth as something unquestionable then I don't think it exists
Humans: what is love?
Aliens: love
Humans: he’s fucking lying!!!

@@ferferrairo don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more
Im glad people still know this meme
"Modern humanity had waited its entire life for this moment" Isn't every moment something we've waited our entire lives for?
This video is insane! 🤯
Makes you think that an utopia is only possible if you weren't human.
No this says that being blissfully unaware is better than trying to find the root of everything but it's the only way anything can move forward as by my experience
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.

Ikr, but the messaging should be more clear so the message just isn't "If you question everything, you bad"
What values is to be gained by stretching content to an hour or 2 hours when it could be told within 15 minutes; and has left an indelible mark on us all.
That’s the challenge with entertainment today. The sweetness of things in art, life, & being can be very brief yet impactful. And when revisiting new discoveries can be made.
Let us contemplate this.
@@michaelgray1223 For me at least, it is wanting that impact or feeling I got at the end of the video to last longer. I would like to see this stretched only to see how each individual of the species acts and to really see what bliss is like. Plus, a movie would make this idea reach a wider audience, I believe people need to learn to think more critically, maybe in the hopes that we can stop that cycle of attacking each other. Is it truly inevitable to self destruct when questioning?

Insanely thought provoking. Amazing content like always.
Sometimes we get so caught up in our minds that we forget to live. This is why some recommend mindfulness and meditation as opposed to increasing anxiety and distracting ourselves further, the goal becomes to simply become fully aware of the present moment and to gradually quiet our racing thoughts. As someone who is guilty of all of the above, I do appreciate the message here. Maybe happiness lies not in knowing why, but in just appreciating what is.
Thats some good wisdom right there.
Brings me back to a question my dad posed to me when I was little. “Why do you think the universe is the way it is?”

@@Thesalamanca That's not true at all. We naturally start questioning things as we get older, and that's what develops our cognitive abilities to learn from past experiences.

get out the easy einstein quotes whydontcha wiseass
curiosity can be violent sometimes, keeping us awake with questions after question,
sometimes it only lead to another question without finding any answers, nagging us to find answer that has yet to be found,
but curiosity is what brought us into what we are today, all of the technology, culture, history, medical knowledge, even the wars is the fruits of someone's curiosity,
what we need is to look back and learn on how to put a stop when our curiosity start to run wild, to not pursue any further beyond the line that has been put, to be able say enough to ourselves and be satisfied with it,
because when the line has been crossed, only destruction await,

It's hard to detach from the collective energy... What effects 1 or 100 effects us all..
the ignorance is bliss saying is true but it's hard not to ask, not to wonder, it's as if the mind does this out of my control, I can more or less control how much I think about things but those thoughts seem to occur sooner or later whether I want them to or not. maybe after a long touching movie or perhaps after a hard day at work, at night when I look at the stars or in the morning when the sun rises, my mind always want's answers, always thinks what if, why and how.
I think what I am trying to put out is to just let things be cause nothings ever going to be perfect but you can always do what you think would make it right and to just forget about all ur issues and just be happy.

So we contaminated with war a Utopia.
That was definitely a failed mission.
Just like when I though I couldn’t love this channel more
Plot twist: and that's how our Human Species developed after meeting with the 'gods from the sky'. Here we're, lol
i discovered this channel today, i've watched three videos so far. i'm completely astonished, i love it very much
Question “Did that species know the truth of things more or less before we arrived and thought we taught it to them”?
Well who visited who? I think that answers it without going deeper.. however..
Question “Who is happier”?
They were without question. What struck a chord for me was when they started asking “how can we be happier”, that question illustrates the problem perfectly.
indeed, “how can we be happier” definetly illustrated the problem
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!!!
The curse of knowledge. That species, in it's bliss, had it never developed those traits on it's own, which it likely would have had to anyway, would never have advanced, and eventually found space travel like we did. Meaning their species dies out eventually. In order to save them, they have to be broken.
I really enjoy your videos! Very interesting thoughts and ideas.
This reminds me of animals. Living in harmony, never questioning anything, communicating using their own languages, and thriving.
Humans are animals
Thanks, Daniel
@@_BobaFett_ Not many people seem to know.
Living in harmony? Bro open your eyes
@@thetayz72 Yeah lol. these morons think if we just go back to being monke that everything will be a blissful utopia. Fun fact apes go to war and kill and rape each other just like humans. So we are really no different from animals. If we keep going down the path we are going now, the quality of life may improve and who knows, maybe we can achieve true bliss. But true bliss isn't living in harmony in nature, its being in harmony with ourselves. Our fellow homo sapiens.
Your videos are perfect and your english is very understandable. I can understand every single of your words , thanks for that.
I love this story on so many levels.
The ideas it provokes and the way it was presented, all of it is just so perfectly crafted to achieve its goal.
But the worst part of this story is how humanity just left. 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.
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.
@@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.

aaaw sing us the song ..
This video IS the most wonderfully, humbled and sad that I've ever seen..IT HAS IMPACTED AND SHOOK ME TO MY CORE 🌏💔😭😭😭
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.
Your channel just scratches those thoughts i keep to myself
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.
THERE'S A WAY U CAN BE AWARE OF UR CONSCIOUSNES AND BE HAPPY BROO BY USING QUESTIONS THAT MAKE SENSE AND COMMON SENSE IF UR GOD IS SAYING THAT HE MADE THE FUCKING WORLD WELL DONT QUESTION THE DUMB SHIT JUST IGNORE IT BUT IF SOMEBODY TELLS U THAT SEXUALITY OF HUMANS IS NOT A CHOICE OR THE WAY TO END SUFFERING IS BY EVERYONE THINKING LIKE OTHER ONE U QUESTION THEM
@@nolashingout4940 My point is that no matter what it is, it's up to us to figure life out and if we can do that, sure, we can be happy.
Great creative take on the Annunaki subject matter and us Earthlings.
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
I don't think that thing about animals you said is right

@@calebunga7271 yes, because of humans

wow, just wow. the content of this channel is beyond words. thank you, whoever you are. I have no need to question who you are, just saying.
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.
wow, this is really deep/well done. impressive.

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.
@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.
Why are saying that?
@@dfferentpoint Questioning is science. Questioning is the rational mind. It is anti-intellectual to denigrate free inquiry. And it is the rational, questioning mind that has saved humanity from poverty and death, and will help us survive the future.
@@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.

It's about time to have my next dose of existential crisis.
I think a lot of the collective energy is having one... Last night I had a dream two of my friends were having an existential crisis and I was consoling them, telling them you aren't you job or house... That has nothing to do with your mission on Earth.. gee whiz 😁
This comment under every single video of this type. Nobody cares about your "existential crisis".
Absolutely great video 👍
Wait, so now our existential crises are interplanetary??? The plot just keeps getting thicker.
No it's getting thinner because the space where earth AND planets are is in total technically a lot less denser than the sole earth itself!

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.
Curiosity, is a Bliss, a Boon, until they can't be answered, after that it's a Curse.

I love this video so much. OMG, this is well made. I loved the linguistic knowledge given for their languages.
