You know it must be nice, knowing with certainty you were made to serve a purpose. And such an easy one too. All the agony and despair mankind faces in pursuit of personal fulfillment, and that little robot can just say "Yeah that guy over there made me to pass butter"
"...the only thing more terrifying than not existing or not knowing why you exist is existing and having no one to share it with." that's fucking heavy...
if its fun you can share sure. but if you find that hell is other people what else do you do with the bar being as low as it is. i can understand some people prefer isolation (my self included)
Only if you are a genius or someone powerful enough to handle the universe. On the other hand you will be eventually eaten by universe because you are too weak/dumb or too unfortunate.
Vito23 never give in, nothing matters so give literally shoot for the stars my friend, even you if don’t reach your goal you’ll be higher than you ever thought possible
Depends.. I think if you embrace the lunatic in you , it will help you keep sane by being insane .. this universal paradox. I think if you lived your life without self awareness, one day would come and you will realize that your whole life you were a slave to your caged mind , and it will drive you completely out of your mind. But if you are a lunatic from the start , there is nothing that can surprise you. There is no point in being 'sane' in an 'insane' world. It's our nature to be spontaneous , if you always stop yourself from doing things simply because you think its ridiculous , or your mind tells you 'this is not normal , don't do it' .. first of all what is normal, and if that's what you're trying to be .'normal' then i have some news for you .. you're nothing more than a walking corpse in a world full of life, lose yourself in it , you are not what you think you are , you are not the ego , you are what you are , you are the Universe
Arraik Cruor no. The meaning of this video.... is really nothing. It depends on our views. For most, its to entertain, for some (like you) its to make you cry. But in reality, the real meaning is none. It depends on the authors view and the publics view. None is more correct or wrong then the other. Good day sir ;)
Imnotoriginalaha I was making a joke because it has some sadness to it. I know the video says there is no meaning. The universe just exists and we are part of the universe, so we just exist. The word meaning and the concept was created by humans.
I discovered the purpose of my life at 40: Give, give, give. Not necessarily money, as I don't have much, but by being of service. Help, teach, volunteer. And the more I get in return. Wish I had known before...
I remember speaking to a security guard that works in my school, he asked about how i got into my current field (IT). I suggested maybe looking up a free program that will teach basic computer skills, certs and maybe an internship.However he figured since he was 29 that he was too old to intern and didn't want to look silly. I gave him a pep talk about how its never too late to do anything that captures your interest and that no one peaks at 30. There are people in there 40s who still feel lost, so dont feel bad. And he was extremely appreciative and told me he will never forget that and will keep that well in mind. Hearing that made me feel so good, I was so happy i could help.
I actually reschooled myself at the age of 29 towards IT! At the moment I'm 31 and working as a sys admin in a company that takes care of the social benefits of over 150k people. As long as you're motivated, anything is possible :)
droleniacoc small litte minds can't comprehend such horrible truths of life. that's why we lie to kids. instead of going back and explaining nothing matters to yourself, just enjoy being a kid. like Rick said "don't think about it"
@joke Sanchez So basically what you're trying to say is that we keep ourself alive to keep ourself alive? Or the reason to stay alive isn't a reason but an instinct? That's not tackling the issue in any way you know.
This was the first video I watched on Philosophy. After a long time of existentialism and thinking about the why of existence, trying to read books and trying to answer all these questions, I finally did come back to this. And I don't regret it one bit.
I'm glad I watched this video, now for the future when I have a shit day I'll come back to this video to find all that doesn't matter. that I don't matter that that one embarrassing thing i did years ago doesn't matter that what people think doesn't matter that my existence doesn't matter that I may have effected many people but my effectance & those people don't matter or really effect the universe in anyway, maybe just a way so small *it doesn't matter*
Jacky Linn I believe there is a god, just not from the Christian Bible, which was distorted and rephrased by man, it’s safe to say stuff which wasn’t suitable to have in it was taken, in fact, you can even trace back where did the word of god from the Bible came from to the very first religion, but who knows, I don’t doubt the existence of God or even the devil, but the shit they preach sounds wishy washy, stuff that even someone like me can come up with if I was preaching people are so compelled to their emotions, associating a symbol and it’s meaning as something they hold deeply, this doesn’t just go with religion
Jacky Linn and how is that a lie? If you’re adding existence to another life, then doesn’t this mean you have passed it on? it lives on, you contributed to it, ha, the “lies of man”, haven’t you seen it yourself all around you? Which is solid proof of what that comment you responded to
God(Yeshua) is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Good and evil are controlled opposition(matrix/simulation). Freewill is an illusion. Daniel 4:35, Isaiah 45:6-7, ephesians 4:6, ephesians 1:4-5, john 15:16
Lauren Gillis Should it have? I mean, what proof did you ever have that life had an immediately present purpose? What will change, having now realized this? Are you afraid of becoming cold and indifferent?
"If you enjoy the time you wasted, it really wasn't a waste of time." Just saw that quote on a comment from the Optimistic Nihilism video by Kurzgesagt. What a great message. And, honestly, if we did have a purpose, wouldn't that be more morbid? I talked in therapy about this, my doctor told me to imagine a world where we have a purpose and it is clear: Imagine being born and told your purpose is to farm for your entire life, or you have a God he tells you your purpose is to entertain the other gods as they watch you suffer. The only true joy is in knowing nothing matters and embracing it.
@Jacky Linn Is that all you have to say? isn't there an argument somewhere to explain the reasoning behind your opinion? or you just go around telling "that sucks!" to everyone?
Believe what you want to believe, don't argue about it. I was just saying my thoughts for other people who might find comfort in them. I understand plenty of folks find their own personal comfort in another belief like God, among other things. The whole point of even having a belief is to make sense of your life. To give you a drive and a purpose. If you don't like it, then I'm sorry and I hope you find something that you do like, if you haven't already.
As I am grateful for having many friends and family, I feel like that last sentance can get people hurt. Oh well it's an opinion. Who am I to censor.... Loved the Video!
@@rayres1074 I don't think they meant it in that way because in reality you don't need that to enjoy it or get the jokes but it does have some emotional messages that some people might miss.
In my opinion Bojack Horseman is even better when it comes to analyzing life and it’s purpose. I do prefer Rick and Morty when it comes to the humor but all in all I’d say that Bojack Horseman is the better show. But that’s just my opinion, both are amazing and they can’t really be compared to be honest.
the absolute irony is, quantum theory would suggest that the reality you experience depends on the perspective you have... so life is as meaningful or meaningless as you want it to be
Darian Javier In regard to truth(s) on a macro level and objectivity it’s almost undebatable that “they” are present in the Universe/Reality/the Temporal Sphere/[Insert synonymous name here] and that some(or all?) of “it” can be learned, discerned, observed and discovered via math, reason, logic, science, our sensory nervous systems, and technology. However higher individual meaning is sadly not an objective or eternal point, really it’s in the “grey area” of existence and unfortunately relative with perception mattering to an uncomfortable degree. This is alright though, makes forging one’s own meaning(or non-meaning) sort of fun. Sometimes you gotta unwind and relax, many times greatness happens during the journey not at the destination. Roll with the hits folks, peace and take care of yourselves ✌️.
Something I found very interesting is that the show provided a situation which highlighted "purpose". The Meeseks were creatures which had a purpose, a single purpose which if they fulfilled they could be at peace or cease to exist. But if they didn't fulfill their purpose they couldn't escape existence. So if we had a purpose, would we not devout our entire lives to the purpose, failing at which we would be stuck in an eternal loop. Maybe thats why we don't need a purpose, the burden of not fulfilling a purpose is far greater than the joy of fulfilling one. Maybe the purpose of life is very personal and subjective. Each one is an actor on this great stage which is life.
Never thought about it that way, thank you! Sometimes it is helpful to have a purpose or meaning for your life. To know why you are alive for.. gives a little bit of closure right. And the hard days are not for nothing... but I like the subjectiveness of a grander purpose. I just need to find mine.
@@luminarytheaters5758 The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success. On that basis we are almost always in collision with something or somebody, even though our motives are good. Most people try to live by self-propulsion. Each person is like an actor who wants to run the whole show; is forever trying to arrange the lights, the ballet, the scenery and the rest of the players in his own way. If his arrangements would only stay put, if only people would do as he wished, the show would be great. Everybody, including himself, would be pleased. Life would be wonderful. In trying to make these arrangements our actor may sometimes be quite virtuous. He may be kind, considerate, patient, generous; even modest and self-sacrificing. On the other hand, he may be mean, egotistical, selfish and dishonest. But, as with most humans, he is more likely to have varied traits. What usually happens? The show doesn’t come off very well. He begins to think life doesn’t treat him right. He decides to exert himself more. He becomes, on the next occasion, still more demanding or gracious, as the case may be. Still the play does not suit him. Admitting he may be somewhat at fault, he is sure that other people are more to blame. He becomes angry, indignant, self-pitying. What is his basic trouble? Is he not really a self-seeker even when trying to be kind? Is he not a victim of the delusion that he can wrest satisfaction and happiness out of this world if he only manages well? Is it not evident to all the rest of the players that these are the things he wants? And do not his actions make each of them wish to retaliate, snatching all they can get out of the show? Is he not, even in his best moments, a producer of confusion rather than harmony? Our actor is self-centered-ego-centric, as people like to call it nowadays. He is like the retired business man who lolls in the Florida sunshine in the winter complaining of the sad state of the nation; the minister who sighs over the sins of the twentieth century; politicians and reformers who are sure all would be Utopia if the rest of the world would only behave; the outlaw safe cracker who thinks society has wronged him; and the alcoholic who has lost all and is locked up. Whatever our protestations, are not most of us concerned with ourselves, our resentments, or our self-pity? Selfishness-self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate. Sometimes they hurt us, seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that at some time in the past we have made decisions based on self which later placed us in a position to be hurt. So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making.
Rick and Morty literally helped boost me out of my depression so that I could take the steps necessary to get better and what you acknowledged in your video is exactly the reason why
That was a very thoughtful and insightful analysis of Rick and Morty. Also amazing job on the video editing, very smooth and watchable. I have no doubt that you and this video will become very popular. Great work!
In some ways, Rick reminds me a little bit of Alan Watts: A highly intelligent man, able to view the universe in a way most other people can't comprehend, yet he's also an alcoholic with a difficult family life; someone who experiences deep pain despite his fantastic cognitive powers.
My favourite scene from Rick and Morty about the question of our purpose is, not with morty and summer, but where rick builds the robot, who then asks: "what is my purpose" and then rick replys "you pass butter" and then the robot looks down at him self and says "oh my god..." with disappointment. I think this shows that it is a good thing that we humans live for no absoute purpose. I mean, just image if there was a purpose of our exsistence, it would completely crush our individuality, it would make us unfree and make all other efforts completely futile and irrelevant. If you look at space and deeptime, there is also no purpose to be found: The universe will end in dark coldness, everything will be forgotten, millions of stars just simply shine for no purpose. In human history, there have been many wars fought with millions of deaths and much suffering, and almost most of it is already forgotten in the everyday life of all other humans who are alive. Asking for a purpose of life is like asking for the purpose of a mountain. We can explain of what matreial compounds the mountain is made off, how high it is, what natural events led to its exsistence but it would be ricidulous to ask for a meaning of that mountain. Just the same with life: darwinian evolution through natural selection and random gene mutation, best described in professor richard dawkins books, explains the HOW question, but makes the WHY question completely absurd and irrelevant, just as asking what colour jealousy has - the fact that you can phrase this question in the english language, does not make it a valid question. We are pattern seeking animals, that's what our minds demand, and many people fall into this trap. Now, this conclusion seems to take something away from us and it does: It removes an egocentrical view of life. That means we are bound to one another, and because there is no absolute purpose to our exsistence, that means that we can make our purpose ourselves. Thus, everything we do, think and create is meaningfull (for us alteast, and maybe even others). So it would be the best to simply be, have sex, Increase human and animal well being, be empathetic, study science, try to progress humankinds wealth/technology and survival in the future, read intellectual literture, listen to great music, look at gorgeous art, eat the most delicious food, work hard to achieve your passions and goals, educate and enlighten your fellow humans, enjoy life and try to undertand not just everything around you, but yourself. This makes the shackles of an ignorant, warcausing and ridiculous superstition like religion, which has been invented 2000 years ago by iron age peasents who didnt even knew the earth rotates around the sun, objectively wrong and morally false. The scriptures clames are untrue and have peached hate, oppression, preducise and ignorance for thousands of years. Free yourself from this insane mass delusion and dont be a blind sheep. To prove my last claims, I recommend the reader to read atheistic books from great minds like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris.
When this show gets deep it feels so real ! No other animated show has been able to feel so real and relatable ! It’s the best tv animation show hands down ! Dark and profound ! That episode of rick city was the best episode I have seen of any animated show
No he possibly exist somewhere in the univers What your thinking about is the multiverse theory where every possiblity exist in each of the different pieces of the multiverse
i see alot of people talking about how this video hit the spot or made them cry, well, this video also hit hard in the heart of an idealist who constantly thought about life instead of actually living it with those around him ...
Live without thinking? People think like "dont think just live" IS a meaning of life and to be honest thats not the point If you cant and not to chose to think about life even a little bit thats running away from the life and truth (if there is even one)
This hit me & made me realise that all of the things we have and need are around us, but our minds are that polluted we are driven in search of things that we don’t have , thinking they will fix the burden. But if everyone suffers from this made up problem , how do we get out of the loop?

Rick and Morty is an amazing show that touches on many aspects of human emotion. This show has brought me to tears several times. Tears of laughing and tears of sadness. This video is a great a introspective of the show. Good work.
This video literally helped explain how I've felt about life for the past two years. Thank you now I can show somebody what I mean in a more relatable sense
One of the reasons I like the show is for how much perspective it makes you take for the things explained in this video, it makes problems seem smaller .
Holly shit man! I watched the entire show during a depressive period of my life. No wonder I enjoyed it so much. Maybe, subconsciously, I could reach this message. Nice video! Excellent ending!
Dream Eater OMG.. long time man. : (( After i went to the drugstore to buy my antidepressants and talked to the nurse guy there who was "addicted" to them (5 years and he couldn't skip the medicine) I decided not to take it, and go until i couldn't take it anymore. Not very wise move i'd say, be careful with that. And if you are on medicine already, you shouldn't stop taking it. The thing is that i've decided to face it and even let me be sad sometimes. Do things even if I didn't want to and try to move on, keep with life, search for stuff that would make me happy, take my head from inside of my own thoughts. Was not easy.. some days i'd eve feel pain around my neck and back of the head because of the bad feelings (this was so strange). I kept in touch with friend, went out to do stuff, even not wanting to, keeping my thoughts out of my head. After some time the "down" feelings started to fade out and my normal self came back again. Sometimes i feel a bit off.. but i let me be sad and look forward for new stuff and other happier days. I was very aware of my sadness and why i shouldn't be soo sad, even so, this simply takes over us sometimes. 8 years must be rough : (, i wouldn't say my experience applies to yours, after all, you've been dealing with this much more time and surly differently. I don't know what i could say to you, but if my advice helps, try facing it like something you are "obligated" to do when you are too sad to do it. Stay out of your head (making youtube videos surly is something that will help). Manage it like going to the gym: you don't really want to go out or do stuff, but you will do it, even if it's unpleasant at first. And allow you to be sad sometimes. There is nothing wrong with that. You just can't let it swallow you. Stay active, stay out of your head. For the most difficult moments i'd say manual work is the best way to keep thoughts out of your head. One thing my father said once that really helped a lot was "start doing things on "analogical" mode". If you start to pay attention on what you are doing instead of doing it automatically, your head gets out of itself and helps relief the "sad tension" Sorry for the long reply! I hope i can help you in some way. And remember, the drugs will help, but they make you addicted to that source of relief. You have to find other things that make you feel good, even if that is uncomfortable at first. GOOD LUCK MAN! LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS THAT GOOD, BUT WE HAVE TO SEE THROUGH THE BAD SIDE SO AS WE CAN ENJOY IT TO THE MOST. Be strong. Be active and never give up.
Bruno Osti thanks for taking that time to help me, but I hate being addicted to anything so drugs won't help and believe it or not we don't have gyms where I live XD, but I will take your advice of finding something that makes me happy, again thanks for replying :)
No problem! : ) i know how hard this can be. Don't give up, don't trust you brain at first if it tells you you don't like this new thing. Keep in mind that you will have to enforce your other self that is not depressed over the depressed brain, so as he can show up mor and, some day, take control. If you can go to a psychologist+psychiatrist. They can surly help. Sometimes its not a matter of taking action ourselves, but a subjetive chemical unbalance on our brains that can be out of our control.

Thanksya. I was on vacation and had several other issues come up in the last month, so my next video has been dramatically on delay. After its release, I expect to be back on a regular 2-3 week schedule.
This is exactly the video I needed to see right now. Just knowing how insignificant all of our lives are and how small we are in the scheme of the universe has been eating me up the last couple weeks. This helped me feel a little bit better and regain some purpose. Thank you!
This is existential philosophical ways of thinking. Our existence is meaningless but it creates the beautiful freedom to find meaning in anything we want in life. Jean Paul Sartre has great work on existentialism.

Rick knows he is in TV. His purpose is to be funny and entertaining and he knows it because of how smart he is. He can get the Mulan sauce any time because there are infinite realities. He just says it to trick the audience to watch until he gets it, to not get canceled and him and his family to be killed. Setting an ultimate goal and putting it off to let him exist for as long as possible. This is my theory
I always watch videos on 2x speed but your videos are the only one I play normally because I really love the content and like to take my time absorbing your videos. Thank you Will for such great material and videos!
I live for in depth analysis' of Rick and Morty (Rick in particular) and this video was honestly so well made and gave me food for thoughts that I didn't even consider deep down, and man that fucking ending!! You don't just put Do you feel it and expect a fan not to cry, that's unrealistic! Uncalled for!! But in all seriousness, great video, I will sub to you.
Ashley ASHLEYM I take what I can get and either way it's still content, and I'm sure op worked hard on it. I'd like to see you try. Besides maybe justify your critic? That would be nice.
i think it would be super awesome if we could be sure that life had no meaning, so we didnt have to bother what we do or where we go or whats after that
Remember watching this while super drunk and curious late at night. Hit me real hard in my feelings finally found it again after seeing a comment from another video that gave me a clue! Its been 5 years dude!
I have watched this video for like 30 or 40 times. It's comforting in an uneasy way. It's comforting that I know that life is meaningless but as well as depressing too. One of the best RUclips video. Thumbs-up to the content creator.
Benjamin Dameron Benjamin Dameron, it can't be proven that rick doesn't love his grandkids (morty at least)... He didn't even flinch when morty said he dropped his collar while they were floating in space. He straight threw his own collar onto morty and accepted death... one can argue that he wants to die but it would be triumphed by the words he said following him putting the collar on morty... such a powerful moment
I´m aware that I am a worthless piece of carbon created without meaning, for nothing, and that I will dissappear from existence one day and nobody will care... I´m gonna eat a taco...
such a amazing vid dude all honesty one of my favourite videos I've seen in all my 8 years of watching RUclips honestly it made me realise more of myself than most things in my life great vid and keep it up
I was little skeptical because of the somewhat pretentious title at first. :P But I really enjoyed the video. Great job. I'm really impressed by the editing too. I can't wait to see some more video essays out of you, dude. I posted this on /r/videos on reddit, by the way.
Lars! So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for adding to the /r/videos--that's how my last video took off as well, so hopefully it works! If you want to see my first video essay it's here: ruclips.net/video/2doZROwdte4/видео.html
In the last year that I've watched this show it's really helped to free my mind and appreciate my life as well as appreciate everyone and everything around me, moreso than any other show I've ever seen. It's helped me to be more adventurous in my life and bond more with family and friends, I'm closer to the people I know now more than ever because R&M made me see that life is fragile and fleeting. What you have now could be taken from you in the blink of an eye so enjoy what/who you have while you have it. While that thought may seem scary to some, you should also take it as an urge to have as much fun as you can here and now with the people you love. It's honestly no wonder why this is my favorite show. Thank you, Justin and Dan.
Great video! Personaly I've had this kind of existential crisis with a nihilist perspective. But you always find small things that give meaning to your life.
having completed 3 seasons and being a good observer of concepts myself, this perspective on RnM didn't occur to me until watching your video. dude huge respects to your work! like the video!!

It's our nature to be spontaneous , if you always stop yourself from doing things simply because you think its ridiculous , or your mind tells you 'this is not normal , don't do it' .. first of all what is normal, and if that's what you're trying to be .'normal' then i have some news for you .. you're nothing more than a walking corpse in a world full of life, lose yourself in it , you are not what you think you are , you are not the ego , you are what you are , you are the Universe

Arraik Cruor no. The meaning of this video.... is really nothing. It depends on our views. For most, its to entertain, for some (like you) its to make you cry. But in reality, the real meaning is none. It depends on the authors view and the publics view. None is more correct or wrong then the other. Good day sir ;)
Imnotoriginalaha
I was making a joke because it has some sadness to it. I know the video says there is no meaning. The universe just exists and we are part of the universe, so we just exist. The word meaning and the concept was created by humans.

I discovered the purpose of my life at 40:
Give, give, give.
Not necessarily money, as I don't have much, but by being of service.
Help, teach, volunteer. And the more I get in return.
Wish I had known before...
I have read many studies citing gratitude as the strongest happiness component. Makes sense. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks! Have a large and happy life!
I remember speaking to a security guard that works in my school, he asked about how i got into my current field (IT). I suggested maybe looking up a free program that will teach basic computer skills, certs and maybe an internship.However he figured since he was 29 that he was too old to intern and didn't want to look silly. I gave him a pep talk about how its never too late to do anything that captures your interest and that no one peaks at 30. There are people in there 40s who still feel lost, so dont feel bad. And he was extremely appreciative and told me he will never forget that and will keep that well in mind. Hearing that made me feel so good, I was so happy i could help.
I actually reschooled myself at the age of 29 towards IT! At the moment I'm 31 and working as a sys admin in a company that takes care of the social benefits of over 150k people. As long as you're motivated, anything is possible :)

@joke Sanchez So basically what you're trying to say is that we keep ourself alive to keep ourself alive? Or the reason to stay alive isn't a reason but an instinct? That's not tackling the issue in any way you know.
@@JoseSanchez-bp7xz that's what animals are designed to do
looks like Jose use's straw man's to avoid how "no one exists on purpose" references the lack of evidence for any pre determined plan for human life.

I will always come back to this
Have you been coming back ?
This was the first video I watched on Philosophy. After a long time of existentialism and thinking about the why of existence, trying to read books and trying to answer all these questions, I finally did come back to this. And I don't regret it one bit.
I'm glad I watched this video, now for the future when I have a shit day I'll come back to this video to find all that doesn't matter. that I don't matter that that one embarrassing thing i did years ago doesn't matter that what people think doesn't matter that my existence doesn't matter that I may have effected many people but my effectance & those people don't matter or really effect the universe in anyway, maybe just a way so small *it doesn't matter*
I keep coming back too🤍
“Life has no meaning unless it adds meaning to another life” - lotanna
Thats so true
Jacky Linn I believe there is a god, just not from the Christian Bible, which was distorted and rephrased by man, it’s safe to say stuff which wasn’t suitable to have in it was taken, in fact, you can even trace back where did the word of god from the Bible came from to the very first religion, but who knows, I don’t doubt the existence of God or even the devil, but the shit they preach sounds wishy washy, stuff that even someone like me can come up with if I was preaching
people are so compelled to their emotions, associating a symbol and it’s meaning as something they hold deeply, this doesn’t just go with religion
Jacky Linn and how is that a lie? If you’re adding existence to another life, then doesn’t this mean you have passed it on? it lives on, you contributed to it, ha, the “lies of man”, haven’t you seen it yourself all around you? Which is solid proof of what that comment you responded to
Jacky Linn You can not pressure people to rely on a book that you don't even know is reliable. Others do not have to be as dumb as you.
God(Yeshua) is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Good and evil are controlled opposition(matrix/simulation). Freewill is an illusion. Daniel 4:35, Isaiah 45:6-7, ephesians 4:6, ephesians 1:4-5, john 15:16

"If you enjoy the time you wasted, it really wasn't a waste of time."
Just saw that quote on a comment from the Optimistic Nihilism video by Kurzgesagt. What a great message. And, honestly, if we did have a purpose, wouldn't that be more morbid? I talked in therapy about this, my doctor told me to imagine a world where we have a purpose and it is clear: Imagine being born and told your purpose is to farm for your entire life, or you have a God he tells you your purpose is to entertain the other gods as they watch you suffer. The only true joy is in knowing nothing matters and embracing it.
@Jacky Linn it's the truth mate.Own it
@Jacky Linn Is that all you have to say? isn't there an argument somewhere to explain the reasoning behind your opinion? or you just go around telling "that sucks!" to everyone?
@@Andrewk858 No, it, isn't.
Believe what you want to believe, don't argue about it. I was just saying my thoughts for other people who might find comfort in them. I understand plenty of folks find their own personal comfort in another belief like God, among other things. The whole point of even having a belief is to make sense of your life. To give you a drive and a purpose. If you don't like it, then I'm sorry and I hope you find something that you do like, if you haven't already.

Rick and Morty potentially the most intellectual TV show ever created. I'm stunned by it. I hope Unity returns to Rick
It has some great messages but idk about that
I think a lot of people relate to it regardless of the level of intelligence
Is that an unironic "you have to have a 300 IQ to understand Rick and Morty"? Jolly.
@@rayres1074 I don't think they meant it in that way because in reality you don't need that to enjoy it or get the jokes but it does have some emotional messages that some people might miss.
In my opinion Bojack Horseman is even better when it comes to analyzing life and it’s purpose. I do prefer Rick and Morty when it comes to the humor but all in all I’d say that Bojack Horseman is the better show. But that’s just my opinion, both are amazing and they can’t really be compared to be honest.
the absolute irony is, quantum theory would suggest that the reality you experience depends on the perspective you have... so life is as meaningful or meaningless as you want it to be
well said.
Damn, so does human psychology
Darian Javier
In regard to truth(s) on a macro level and objectivity it’s almost undebatable that “they” are present in the Universe/Reality/the Temporal Sphere/[Insert synonymous name here] and that some(or all?) of “it” can be learned, discerned, observed and discovered via math, reason, logic, science, our sensory nervous systems, and technology. However higher individual meaning is sadly not an objective or eternal point, really it’s in the “grey area” of existence and unfortunately relative with perception mattering to an uncomfortable degree. This is alright though, makes forging one’s own meaning(or non-meaning) sort of fun. Sometimes you gotta unwind and relax, many times greatness happens during the journey not at the destination. Roll with the hits folks, peace and take care of yourselves ✌️.

Bubba Two-Toes chaos chaos do you feel it
Daniel Blanco R You're an idiot if you clicked on a video titled "Finding meaning in life" to have a laugh.
Something I found very interesting is that the show provided a situation which highlighted "purpose". The Meeseks were creatures which had a purpose, a single purpose which if they fulfilled they could be at peace or cease to exist. But if they didn't fulfill their purpose they couldn't escape existence. So if we had a purpose, would we not devout our entire lives to the purpose, failing at which we would be stuck in an eternal loop. Maybe thats why we don't need a purpose, the burden of not fulfilling a purpose is far greater than the joy of fulfilling one. Maybe the purpose of life is very personal and subjective. Each one is an actor on this great stage which is life.
this is such an interesting take, wow
Never thought about it that way, thank you! Sometimes it is helpful to have a purpose or meaning for your life. To know why you are alive for.. gives a little bit of closure right. And the hard days are not for nothing... but I like the subjectiveness of a grander purpose. I just need to find mine.
Deep... Especially the last line

The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success. On that basis we are almost always in collision with something or somebody, even though our motives are good.
Most people try to live by self-propulsion. Each person is like an actor who wants to run the whole show; is forever trying to arrange the lights, the ballet, the scenery and the rest of the players in his own way. If his arrangements would only stay put, if only people would do as he wished, the show would be great. Everybody, including himself, would be pleased. Life would be wonderful. In trying to make these arrangements our actor may sometimes be quite virtuous. He may be kind, considerate, patient, generous; even modest and self-sacrificing. On the other hand, he may be mean, egotistical, selfish and dishonest. But, as with most humans, he is more likely to have varied traits. What usually happens? The show doesn’t come off very well. He begins to think life doesn’t treat him right. He decides to exert himself more. He becomes, on the next occasion, still more demanding or gracious, as the case may be. Still the play does not suit him. Admitting he may be somewhat at fault, he is sure that other people are more to blame. He becomes angry, indignant, self-pitying. What is his basic trouble? Is he not really a self-seeker even when trying to be kind? Is he not a victim of the delusion that he can wrest satisfaction and happiness out of this world if he only manages well? Is it not evident to all the rest of the players that these are the things he wants? And do not his actions make each of them wish to retaliate, snatching all they can get out of the show? Is he not, even in his best moments, a producer of confusion rather than harmony? Our actor is self-centered-ego-centric, as people like to call it nowadays. He is like the retired business man who lolls in the Florida sunshine in the winter complaining of the sad state of the nation; the minister who sighs over the sins of the twentieth century; politicians and reformers who are sure all would be Utopia
if the rest of the world would only behave; the outlaw safe cracker who thinks society has wronged him; and the alcoholic who has lost all and is locked up. Whatever our protestations, are not most of us concerned with ourselves, our resentments, or our self-pity?
Selfishness-self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate. Sometimes they hurt us, seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that at some time in the past we have made decisions based on self which later placed us in a position to be hurt. So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making.
“Most genius scientists in the multiverse, yet he’s an alcoholic” so true
Rick and Morty literally helped boost me out of my depression so that I could take the steps necessary to get better and what you acknowledged in your video is exactly the reason why

Just remember bro, there is plenty of time to be dead, so you may as well take the opportunity to live life while you got it. :)
That was a very thoughtful and insightful analysis of Rick and Morty. Also amazing job on the video editing, very smooth and watchable. I have no doubt that you and this video will become very popular. Great work!
Thank you Porky, that's a really nice comment.

"For having consciousness in a universe without any ultimate meaning, really means having the freedom to create your own"
I know it’s been several years since you made this video but I come back to it every once in a while and I really appreciate your work, excellent.
In some ways, Rick reminds me a little bit of Alan Watts: A highly intelligent man, able to view the universe in a way most other people can't comprehend, yet he's also an alcoholic with a difficult family life; someone who experiences deep pain despite his fantastic cognitive powers.

WOW! Indeed!
MY EXACT THOUGHTS
Optimistic Nihilism is the term you're looking for
absurdism.
Existentialism is the term you're looking for
Or are you really looking for kurzgesagt - optimistic nihilism (Rick and morty version)
Should I write that on Post It Notes to tell the world? Eh, nahhhh. Let them figure it out.
Yeah, the channel Kurtzgesagt has also made a great video about optimistic nihilism
My favourite scene from Rick and Morty about the question of our purpose is, not with morty and summer, but where rick builds the robot, who then asks: "what is my purpose" and then rick replys "you pass butter" and then the robot looks down at him self and says "oh my god..." with disappointment. I think this shows that it is a good thing that we humans live for no absoute purpose. I mean, just image if there was a purpose of our exsistence, it would completely crush our individuality, it would make us unfree and make all other efforts completely futile and irrelevant. If you look at space and deeptime, there is also no purpose to be found: The universe will end in dark coldness, everything will be forgotten, millions of stars just simply shine for no purpose. In human history, there have been many wars fought with millions of deaths and much suffering, and almost most of it is already forgotten in the everyday life of all other humans who are alive. Asking for a purpose of life is like asking for the purpose of a mountain. We can explain of what matreial compounds the mountain is made off, how high it is, what natural events led to its exsistence but it would be ricidulous to ask for a meaning of that mountain. Just the same with life: darwinian evolution through natural selection and random gene mutation, best described in professor richard dawkins books, explains the HOW question, but makes the WHY question completely absurd and irrelevant, just as asking what colour jealousy has - the fact that you can phrase this question in the english language, does not make it a valid question. We are pattern seeking animals, that's what our minds demand, and many people fall into this trap. Now, this conclusion seems to take something away from us and it does: It removes an egocentrical view of life. That means we are bound to one another, and because there is no absolute purpose to our exsistence, that means that we can make our purpose ourselves. Thus, everything we do, think and create is meaningfull (for us alteast, and maybe even others). So it would be the best to simply be, have sex, Increase human and animal well being, be empathetic, study science, try to progress humankinds wealth/technology and survival in the future, read intellectual literture, listen to great music, look at gorgeous art, eat the most delicious food, work hard to achieve your passions and goals, educate and enlighten your fellow humans, enjoy life and try to undertand not just everything around you, but yourself. This makes the shackles of an ignorant, warcausing and ridiculous superstition like religion, which has been invented 2000 years ago by iron age peasents who didnt even knew the earth rotates around the sun, objectively wrong and morally false. The scriptures clames are untrue and have peached hate, oppression, preducise and ignorance for thousands of years. Free yourself from this insane mass delusion and dont be a blind sheep. To prove my last claims, I recommend the reader to read atheistic books from great minds like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris.

If you cant and not to chose to think about life even a little bit thats running away from the life and truth (if there is even one)

This hit me & made me realise that all of the things we have and need are around us, but our minds are that polluted we are driven in search of things that we don’t have , thinking they will fix the burden.

Rick and Morty is an amazing show that touches on many aspects of human emotion. This show has brought me to tears several times. Tears of laughing and tears of sadness. This video is a great a introspective of the show. Good work.

I watched the entire show during a depressive period of my life. No wonder I enjoyed it so much. Maybe, subconsciously, I could reach this message. Nice video! Excellent ending!
Bruno Osti how did you get out of your depression? I've been having it for 8 years now with no improvement
Dream Eater OMG.. long time man. : ((
After i went to the drugstore to buy my antidepressants and talked to the nurse guy there who was "addicted" to them (5 years and he couldn't skip the medicine) I decided not to take it, and go until i couldn't take it anymore. Not very wise move i'd say, be careful with that. And if you are on medicine already, you shouldn't stop taking it.
The thing is that i've decided to face it and even let me be sad sometimes. Do things even if I didn't want to and try to move on, keep with life, search for stuff that would make me happy, take my head from inside of my own thoughts. Was not easy.. some days i'd eve feel pain around my neck and back of the head because of the bad feelings (this was so strange). I kept in touch with friend, went out to do stuff, even not wanting to, keeping my thoughts out of my head. After some time the "down" feelings started to fade out and my normal self came back again. Sometimes i feel a bit off.. but i let me be sad and look forward for new stuff and other happier days. I was very aware of my sadness and why i shouldn't be soo sad, even so, this simply takes over us sometimes. 8 years must be rough : (, i wouldn't say my experience applies to yours, after all, you've been dealing with this much more time and surly differently. I don't know what i could say to you, but if my advice helps, try facing it like something you are "obligated" to do when you are too sad to do it. Stay out of your head (making youtube videos surly is something that will help). Manage it like going to the gym: you don't really want to go out or do stuff, but you will do it, even if it's unpleasant at first. And allow you to be sad sometimes. There is nothing wrong with that. You just can't let it swallow you. Stay active, stay out of your head. For the most difficult moments i'd say manual work is the best way to keep thoughts out of your head. One thing my father said once that really helped a lot was "start doing things on "analogical" mode". If you start to pay attention on what you are doing instead of doing it automatically, your head gets out of itself and helps relief the "sad tension"
Sorry for the long reply! I hope i can help you in some way. And remember, the drugs will help, but they make you addicted to that source of relief. You have to find other things that make you feel good, even if that is uncomfortable at first. GOOD LUCK MAN! LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS THAT GOOD, BUT WE HAVE TO SEE THROUGH THE BAD SIDE SO AS WE CAN ENJOY IT TO THE MOST. Be strong. Be active and never give up.
Bruno Osti thanks for taking that time to help me, but I hate being addicted to anything so drugs won't help and believe it or not we don't have gyms where I live XD, but I will take your advice of finding something that makes me happy, again thanks for replying :)
No problem! : ) i know how hard this can be. Don't give up, don't trust you brain at first if it tells you you don't like this new thing. Keep in mind that you will have to enforce your other self that is not depressed over the depressed brain, so as he can show up mor and, some day, take control. If you can go to a psychologist+psychiatrist. They can surly help. Sometimes its not a matter of taking action ourselves, but a subjetive chemical unbalance on our brains that can be out of our control.

you know what's interesting, here talking about meaning of life...Your name is iNK, have you ever seen the movie, "ink" ? Very interesting more underground student made feel like movie, but they did the best with the production quality they had to piece together a very interesting masterpiece of a film.
you should upload more videos man, you deserve more subscribers.
Thanksya. I was on vacation and had several other issues come up in the last month, so my next video has been dramatically on delay. After its release, I expect to be back on a regular 2-3 week schedule.

Agreed.
This is exactly the video I needed to see right now. Just knowing how insignificant all of our lives are and how small we are in the scheme of the universe has been eating me up the last couple weeks. This helped me feel a little bit better and regain some purpose. Thank you!
That was one of the best made videos I've seen on youtube ever.
I've seen this video more than 15 times! It helps me to focus in the important things...
This is existential philosophical ways of thinking. Our existence is meaningless but it creates the beautiful freedom to find meaning in anything we want in life. Jean Paul Sartre has great work on existentialism.
Jonas Martinez how do you know it’s meaningless?
@@randy4443 because no meaning can be proven
@@randy4443 maybe there is a meaning but humans aren't capable of realizing it
What does 'philosophical way of thinking' mean? 😐
jonas martinez finding your own meaning is just delusional. Nothing has meaning.
this video probably take A LOT of time to compile the best moments for each explanation, great work, keep it up! and thank you for spending so much times into this video.
6:05 Hearing this really hurts.
God(Yeshua) is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Good and evil are controlled opposition(matrix/simulation). Freewill is an illusion. Daniel 4:35, Isaiah 45:6-7, ephesians 4:6, ephesians 1:4-5, john 15:16
FUCKEN BRILLIANT SUMMARY
FALSE. All of Rick's actions have been to get that Mulan schezuapn McNugget Sauce. Everyone knows this
Rick knows he is in TV. His purpose is to be funny and entertaining and he knows it because of how smart he is. He can get the Mulan sauce any time because there are infinite realities. He just says it to trick the audience to watch until he gets it, to not get canceled and him and his family to be killed.
Setting an ultimate goal and putting it off to let him exist for as long as possible. This is my theory
What the fuck have you been smoking, man? Haha shit :D
His desire for Mulan Schezwan Sauce is so meaningful beacuse it explains the meaninglessness.
I think you mean "true." Rather than trying to solve an existential crisis, Rick just wants to enjoy the sauce.
I've often thought this and preposed it to my friends, they must not be as smart as all of us huh?
I come back to this video every now and then when I feel down, cheers.
I always watch videos on 2x speed but your videos are the only one I play normally because I really love the content and like to take my time absorbing your videos. Thank you Will for such great material and videos!
this was one of the smartest rick and morty philosophy videos I have seen
plus I love camus
#camusisbae
Jessica Rose I have a new catchphrase: I love Camus!
How about a café au lait?
i am glad i'm not the only one who was thinking "thats deep" over and over watching the show...also it underlines ricks similiarity to the doctor imho
Lay it lay it down let me see your hands...
This vid actually made me cry. You really captured the essence of the show. It means alot to me.
Amazing view and video I knew that aspect of the show but your description brought it to a whole new level
You are gonna blow up

*Cheers*
I live for in depth analysis' of Rick and Morty (Rick in particular) and this video was honestly so well made and gave me food for thoughts that I didn't even consider deep down, and man that fucking ending!! You don't just put Do you feel it and expect a fan not to cry, that's unrealistic! Uncalled for!!
But in all seriousness, great video, I will sub to you.
Really? This is definitely one of the worst Rick and Morty analysis I've seen.
Ashley ASHLEYM I take what I can get and either way it's still content, and I'm sure op worked hard on it. I'd like to see you try.
Besides maybe justify your critic? That would be nice.
Ashley ASHLEYM I assume you're saying that ironically, because I have seen no analysis better.
Ashley ASHLEYM i agree with AnimeHeart HD this was really well made
I loved the message at the end while watching with captions. The video was superb btw
I agree, existing with no one to share it with, REALLY sucks!
Very well done video man! Loved it. Even tho it`s kinda sad that our lives have no meaning, that does not mean that we cant enjoy life :)
You deserve way more publicity
Like it said in the video you create your own meaning.
i think it would be super awesome if we could be sure that life had no meaning, so we didnt have to bother what we do or where we go or whats after that
Existential Nihilism is your friend.
lebrooon james imo the only logical conclusion is that our lives have no meaning thus not needing proof
Dude. I found this completely at random, and it has got to be my absolute favorite video on RUclips. Many thanks for creating and sharing.
Remember watching this while super drunk and curious late at night. Hit me real hard in my feelings finally found it again after seeing a comment from another video that gave me a clue! Its been 5 years dude!
I have watched this video for like 30 or 40 times. It's comforting in an uneasy way. It's comforting that I know that life is meaningless but as well as depressing too. One of the best RUclips video. Thumbs-up to the content creator.
Left out the part that "I love my grand kids" is followed by a cynical refutation.
It's a fake cynical refutation, and both grandkids see right through it.
He does that a lot. Great video, keep at it.
You don´t spend six months on frozen time having a good time with people you don´t care at least a lot.
Benjamin Dameron Benjamin Dameron, it can't be proven that rick doesn't love his grandkids (morty at least)... He didn't even flinch when morty said he dropped his collar while they were floating in space. He straight threw his own collar onto morty and accepted death... one can argue that he wants to die but it would be triumphed by the words he said following him putting the collar on morty... such a powerful moment
he clearly said in the video he would never admit to loving anyone so obviously he was joking lol
I´m aware that I am a worthless piece of carbon created without meaning, for nothing, and that I will dissappear from existence one day and nobody will care... I´m gonna eat a taco...
AnthonyChannel Exactly!
AnthonyChannel
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE????
ARGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
*Tweak voice from southpark
AnthonyChannel Good words. Good words....
Yea I only find enjoyment in greed, and family
Hence antinatalism is the only sensible stance one can have when it comes to reproduction.
Appreciating the love you give brings meaning to the love you received.
such a amazing vid dude all honesty one of my favourite videos I've seen in all my 8 years of watching RUclips honestly it made me realise more of myself than most things in my life great vid and keep it up
Very well-made vid dude. Existentialism at it's finest. Keep up the good work :)
Heneral Luna w
i think you misspelled nihilism.
Dude Rick is nihilist
Charan g
Dude, this, dude that.
Jose Sanchez what?
I was little skeptical because of the somewhat pretentious title at first. :P But I really enjoyed the video. Great job. I'm really impressed by the editing too. I can't wait to see some more video essays out of you, dude.
I posted this on /r/videos on reddit, by the way.
Lars! So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for adding to the /r/videos--that's how my last video took off as well, so hopefully it works! If you want to see my first video essay it's here: ruclips.net/video/2doZROwdte4/видео.html
Very well thought out video and great editing. Great Job man!
Thank you for this, i needed it
In the last year that I've watched this show it's really helped to free my mind and appreciate my life as well as appreciate everyone and everything around me, moreso than any other show I've ever seen. It's helped me to be more adventurous in my life and bond more with family and friends, I'm closer to the people I know now more than ever because R&M made me see that life is fragile and fleeting. What you have now could be taken from you in the blink of an eye so enjoy what/who you have while you have it. While that thought may seem scary to some, you should also take it as an urge to have as much fun as you can here and now with the people you love. It's honestly no wonder why this is my favorite show. Thank you, Justin and Dan.
This is why I love this show. I would also argue it's one of the most important shows around right now.
My purpose is stay alive the 90+ years left of rick and morty
“Rick and morty forever
100 more years rick and morty”
Fucking yes
Great video man. Re-watching this after so long has made me appreciate even more. 😁👍
Once again here! I've seen it like 30 times and I still love it...
Great video! Personaly I've had this kind of existential crisis with a nihilist perspective.
But you always find small things that give meaning to your life.
having completed 3 seasons and being a good observer of concepts myself, this perspective on RnM didn't occur to me until watching your video. dude huge respects to your work!
like the video!!
This video is my anti depression medicine
This video is one of the finest works I've ever witnessed in this lifetime.
How are all my little intellects doing?
thanks for the content bro, keep it up
this video comes right in the moment i need it
