      And why would he turn the radio off? It's as if he's acting like Jake, but actually a parasite waiting to get back to civilisation via the rescuers... So, where IS the parasite?

    • @5dudelsack5
      @5dudelsack5 7 лет назад +16

      I think he turned the radio off because he thinks he might be infected, and doesn't want to spread the parasite to the rest of humanity. How would turning off the radio help him be rescued?

    • @marioruiz8978
      @marioruiz8978 7 лет назад +3

      Capricorn I feel like he did it for the opposite reason. I think Jake doesn't want to be apart of the parasite we call humanity. So he has decided to keep to himself. But I digress

    My thoughts on the ending
    1. Jake refuses to be helped by the rescue team because he knows that he's already infected thus his sacrifice himself for the hunanity
    Or
    2. It's the parasite itself refusing the rescue team to help him so it can reprodce by itself before they can teminate it

      @elljay3453 6 лет назад +23

      It’s cold, but there are clearly lots of deciduous trees in the video. There will be a melt by Spring, if the parasite (or its lifecycle’s eggs or whatever) can survive the season. And carrion scavengers of some sort seem pretty likely, even in winter (crows, wolves, coyotes, feral dogs, if in North America.)

      Yes those are parasites. Parasites who enjoys getting unemployment benefit without doing any work or very least decline job offerings and living with taxpayer's money.
      You can also be parasite by thinking that it is justifiable to steal from rich people simply because they are more wealthier. These type of parasites you mostly met on Left-wing groups.
      Socialism is based on riding other people's fortune. It is morally & financially wrong.

      he sacrificed himself in case he had the parasite

    • @prim16
      @prim16 6 лет назад +67

      +Ryan Kettlewell No, that wasn't the ending. He said that a parasite could be controlling your actions, and exemplified several animals that had their minds under manipulation by a parasite, later driving themselves to suicide in convenient ways for the parasite's reproduction. Jake also "willingly accepted death" because he was under control of a parasite, the one he described throughout the video. Of course, he wouldn't know that, because the parasite assumes the host's brain.

    • @TheAetheris
      @TheAetheris 6 лет назад +59

      As i see it both interpretations are correct.
      Maybe he doesn't have the parasite, but fearing that he has one he choses to die by himself or
      maybe he has the parasite and he is not in control anymore.
      But the point is you can never know for sure which one is true and that is the most terrifying.

      @vornamenachname2727 7 лет назад +2

      Tom Hogan That's also possible.
      I've got a pretty farfetched theory, but hear me out: How does he know the parasite can't survive in the cold? What if the parasite wants him to go there and die so it can eat him and reproduce? I'm not sure what the rescue team is and how much control the parasite has. Jake might want to shelter himself from civilization so that the virus can't spread or the virus wants us as it's new host. Jake doesn't seem very good and when the parasite has taken us over it will call the rescue team, if they aren't already involved and infected and are trying to infect the last of us, and then return to civilization and infect everyone.
      We don't know how far the virus has spread and what it can do.

      All Vsauce videos seem to go off the rails and that's a conscious choice. Michael has said that it keeps people's attentions, because you go from one topic to another quickly. After all, if Michael or Jake answered a single question during the video, it would be 3 minutes long.
