I myself am not big into poetry, but I like the genuineness of what you've talked about both in this video and what you've written. 4:56 What you're talking about is difficult to describe because you're trying to describe the act of existing. We as living things have created countless arbitrary measurements, names, and processes to create definitions for existence. It's both something we know intimately, and something completely outside of our comprehension. People spend their entire lives trying to to prove that they do exist to themselves and through others. But I think that's why "You are here" is such great statement, because it's the simplest form of evidence. No amount of numbers, or units, or calculations, or dimensions can beat the existential proof/gratification of "You are here" Very fun and funky. Hopefully this gets boosted and recommended to the right people who'll enjoy and engage with your content. Wishing you the best.
Thank you very much for this very thoughtful reply, because it was indeed full of thought! And thank you for sitting through the video and listening, even though I may not have been coherent as I would have liked to have been. Talking to a camera is quite a surreal experience (and also, perhaps, just another attempt at a measurement of existence) but it is noteworthy how I am able to reach out across this virtual ether from 'here' and reach someone who is also 'here'. So thank you for appreciating the value of 'You are here' because that is all that matters. I think that's what I wanted to get across in the video anyway. P.S. poetry isn't really my shtick either. I just happened to become a poet as one happens to become a brewer or a butcher.
