TLDW: an academic schitzoposted a book about how the spine contains all knowledge, and through the study of the spine all things can be understood. Also the Progression of knowledge is both the cause for and result of trauma about every step along the evolutionary pathway to the point we are currently at. Put another way, there are echo’s of every point in time throughout the history of the universe, from the Big Bang, to abiogenesis, to the distant future, and the universe’s eventual heat death. These echos of the distant past and even more distant future can be understood through the study of things which have evolved. The spine is a thing that evolved, so we can find and understand these echos via studying the spine. I think I got it all?
Considering the massive intellectual endeavor of this video, you have my fullest and utmost support of your continued work on this. This video is my introduction to your channel, so I don't know if all the rest of your work is interesting to me or not; what I mean to say is, regardless of whatever else you get into, this topic alone has got me fully onboard. I'm going to donate or patreon or whatever you have up. Thank you for this. Truly, incredibly fascinating.
And sometimes a spine is just a spine. Ironically talking about how we give meaning to things that otherwise don't have a meaning kind of exemplifies the whole point of the meaning here, meaning that our meaning is kind of like a looking glass mirror. Edit, I wrote that before he got to Sigmund And now that I have watched through that part, I must say that if language is a virus it was recombinatided and retransmitted from the previously mentioned authors to Sigmund through time as a perfect example of Chronopathology.. so in a sense, it created itself.

I think I understand as a guy with schizophrenia issues. I think of them as just different options, thus how I live in other's lives. Multiple selves is Multiple Realms, thus adding, dividing at the same time...existence is exhale not the breath of life. Life is the exhale of death. Then we wake up as something else...maybe a fish that lives long enough to learn how not to be eaten. Sounds like life to me. Am I a fish?
@@gen-zeke-8571Every day I wake up, a new individual. I don’t persist from today to tomorrow. I can’t maintain long term goals. I thought it was just my ADHD…. Is this schizophrenia? 🤔
It would be considered autism now. I mean if ADHD is considered autistic, you better believe all the positive attributes of schizophrenia are gonna be too.
I love that I live in a time where virtually every cultural niche has both exposure and an engaged audience. The future archaeologists of the internet archives will truly have an ocean to explore.
Information will get locked up, if we head in the same direction as the last few decades. I bet you'd have to pay for access to view a person's facebook timeline. and Some people will have been deleted forever by an authoritarian gov, to change the narrative of the future. AI will be able to tamper with everything digitally documented. A new "fake news" will emerge.
Unfortunately as with all past knowledge, most of the obscure and not too many of the impactful works being created today will be wiped away or otherwise too deeply buried to ever be excavated.
@@cerdon4076 It's true. No matter how good our archival efforts are, some war or natural disaster or something other will damage or destroy servers. I guess I just hope we find a way to preserve as much of the internet as we can. It's weird to think but it's still very much in its infancy, and I have no idea what it'll look like in 50 years.
It took me forever to finally finish this book because I had to keep reading other books to understand it. Felt like a gateway drug to a thousand side-quests.
I'm just grateful for videos like this that can present me with some of the ideas in an overview so I can go "hmm, neat" and "wow, cringe" for a couple of hours without being fully exposed to the masturbatory verbosity of the original work. I can't let my misanthropy get too extreme, so l have to sample from a safe distance lol
@@hope1575 I'm already depressed from reading one article about this book. How the hell am I supposed to deal with philosophies that say "akschually we are evolving to destroy ourselves and the entire universe and consciousness is awful."
@Anne-wf1vo Depends on what you mean by dealing with them. On good days I just say "lol nah, that's stupid," and on bad days I say "yeah, that sounds about right." On medium days I try not to think about it or it turns into a bad day.

@@jejethejeplalq821I think the biggest issue is that they could simplify this shit into words that anyone could understand. They just feel a sense of prestige by using big words.

This reminds me of a peculiar book I saw on Amazon and read simply because it sounded weird and interesting. It’s known as “The Filatory: Compendium I” and contains a chapter regarding the suspicion of one’s own body plotting and executing its own plans in spite of the mind. It characterizes the body itself as a type of super-agent and the mind as a mere means of accomplishing its goals. It was a fascinating read, though, apparently not well known.
It's not really that crazy, just the natural implications of the Neo-Darwinian model of Evolution, which is the standard model within Biology as of now. The body as a whole is enslaved by the genes, the genes are the shareholders of the body and the brain is the CEO. "The Individual is just the fruiting body, most of the body is within the genepool (which is not directly seen)" If the CEO does not maximize shareholder gains, he will eventually get ousted. (Behaviour that does not result in sufficient reproduction will be selected against over the long-term) As the CEO is not always reliable, the Organism has some backup mechanisms to improve compliance, like disrupting the function on nervous system when fortuitous mating opportunities are presented (Love; Increasing Impulsivity, Anxiety about losing the opportunity, decreased visibility of drawbacks "Love makes blind") Or also when it backfires in the modern world, as it won't relinquish calories/fat, decreasing non-exercise-activity-thermogenesis when the balance nears or is below Zero, thereby hindering mating success.
Also population growth starts to decrease dramatically when reliable birth control methods become available, so many Individuals/Brains would choose less kids over more and it is the body which forces them to have more, by making them lustful and pull-out ineffective (partly due to inhibited impulse control when it most matters to the Individual) The body has to be forced to comply to the interest of the brain, by manipulating it with hormones or using non-organic physical barriers between the bodies. Similarly, with caffeine and other extraneous chemicals, we can also force the body to increase non-exercise-activity-thermogenesis. The greatest example of how Individuals struggle against their gene-masters, is that they desire to be immortal, but the genes require them to die for evolution to occur and the species/genepool as a whole to stay competitive against other species because of the Red Queen hypothesis "In order to stay in the same place, you need to run as fast as you can" See: Second-order selection against the immortal by Malmesbury
I fell asleep immediately upon putting on this video and had one of the wildest dreams of my life where the contents were an interactive PBS documentary on its topics. I've never had a RUclips video follow me into my dreams. I'm interpreting this as my subconscious mind screaming out for it to be true.
Lucid dreaming as a form of time travel. Congratulations on applying the subject matter firsthand, hope you enjoyed your visit back into the Jurassic Spinal Landscape.
I don’t even know what to say. This was like a gift. I find the spine and bipedalism fascinating subjects. Thank you for doing the heavy lifting by actually reading this obscure treatise, and then delivering it succinctly, with humor. Thank you. I would gladly pay for future installments.
I am absolutely OBSESSED with your verbal fluency, truly magnificent control over language in aid of illustrating obscure yet fantastical constructs, and have just truly just fell in love with your ability to convey ideas. I'm also only 13 minutes into the video, but felt profoundly compelled to pause it just to TAKE IN HOW MUCH I LOVED THE VIDEO. It's videos like this that make life worthwhile. The beauty of just illustrated self-reflection on self-reflection (on self-reflection, on self-reflection, ..., ad infinitum). There's something uncharacteristically *human* or special. So yeah, anyways, subscribed.
I've been looking for a resource on time and perception long before this video. Never found something that fully scratched that itch. Suffice to say, a few excerpts of this video did, along with raising unrelated questions. I note the commonality of eastern European psychologists and the concept of a noosphere.
@@MathWhiz109I fish it were so... But it kinda is. I recommend looking into deep breathing exercises and cold therapy. Those two simple things have done wonders to straighten me out. 🤟🧙♂️🤙
This whole video was incredible. I’m on my 4th watch in under a week to make sure I understand it fully. You sir have made a lifelong fan and I can’t wait for Part2.
A little over halfway through and youve got my subscription. Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the excellent humor intertwined with the exposition? It's tasteful, quick, and adds to the impact, instead of subtracting from it.
A large part of our facial bone structure is formed from the neural crest which originates from the structure that becomes the spinal cord. Most bone is formed from the sclerotome which has a completely different origin. So in a way the most visible personal representation of ourselves to the world is the spine usurping another tissue type of its role.
Wow. This is an incredible video. I don’t usually comment on videos but the fact this only has 52K views and was so very well researched deserves every attempt to get you boosted on the algorithm. Absolutely can’t wait for the next part, excited to explore your back catalogue!
it’s hard not to think of the body without organs throughout this whole discussion, especially when you brought up the nervous system! lines of flight are ingrained in our sensory experiences becoming language, pluripotentiality is built into our bones, our past anticipations of the future pattern the multiplicity of forces within the unconscious that compel us as intuition (biological foresight creating psychological foresight) and still it is the helpless, necessary organization of our bodies that leaves us paranoid and fixated on ourselves and our futures, anxiously yearning for the simple symmetry of echinoderms.
Withheld from the natural environmental format and a lack of inter species sensory exchange via touching grass leads to the development of intensely brilliant (schizophrenic) ideas
this whole video is thoughts that run through my head most of the day, often through circular thinking due to OCD. All the key points resonate with my constant questions, surely not unique to myself, but the language of it is extremely digestible to me and I'm glad to see there's so much theory surrounding this extremely large-scale view of the mind and body. These ideas tend to be hard to sequence when they're repeating over and over, this video organises them so well. It's so interesting to see how this is alienating to many, not hard to understand, but rubs against a traditional view of the world that I lack for some reason. The fact such things exist, thought process like my own understood in such an esoteric study, it's so comforting, and makes me feel so much like other people in ways I feared I wasn't. I see the sillyness of it, but I'm even more critical when it appears in my own head and morphs from intrusive thought to intrusive feeling to intrusive mood, that this search to understand the world outside my scope isn't just my mental illness, but something validated by such a clean rhetoric. thanks so much :)
because biologically speaking humans are sex machines everything we may consider far more important is from a purely biological standpoint secondary all of our culture, opinions, philosophy, social systems, etc are sideffects of an organ that attempts make vague guesses at potnetial futures so it can better protect an transport genitals
Thank you for taking the time and effort to make a video essay with top quality content. I have been sinking in existential thoughts, and your video helped me connect so many ideas and revitalize my will to live and continue to stand up straight. Thanks again
holy MOLEY, this has been an amazing ride of a video to take part in. Honestly, watching this helped me find the words for ideas I’ve felt for a while, yet no experience in research to verbalize. Very interesting! Thanks for the content!!
Im glad I caught this back when you first put it out. I sent this to no less than 10 friends and all of them were so on board with your style. Cant wait for the next section on this journey into intellectual madness.

Holy Hannah, I’m never one to comment on a RUclips video but this has become my Roman Empire. I’ve shared this with so many friends, as the ideas contained within the 1:40:00 runtime, are ideas I find incredibly interesting and can only lead to further rabbit holes. I love when people hyperfixate and share that with the world. The cadence and intonation of your speech is perfect to digest difficult concepts, and while I did find myself replaying the more wordy sections, (no fault of your own) it was never too wordy to comprehend. -I also appreciated the light notes of comedy sprinkled throughout. aNyWaYs- thank you for this masterpiece of a video essay, I will be back for more !
although you are skeptical. i am convinced this is the most important collection of knowledge in existence! please show this man support so i don't have to read this myself... i will
This was incredible to listen to and I will be returning to listen and investigate more for myself. So much of this is so intuitive and interrelated with so much I’ve learned, thought and experienced in my life. Thank you for creating and compiling all of this! :)
"Does the set of all sets containing themselves contain itself?" It can in a Platonic sense, in that there's nothing fundamentally contradictory about it, but no, not in the physical sense applicable to our mind's ability to model itself in some sort of recursive cascade. However, the question that truly reveals the paradox at the heart of mathematics is, "Does the set of all sets _not_ containing themselves contain itself?"
Wow. You know that person at the party that has a lot of interesting things and ideas to share, but is also batshit crazy. You just can't stop listeing? Well. I feel like I am just now waking up from the 1.5hrs session of immersion into borderline insanity and I love it. Really great video! What a rollercoaster.
My very* basic comprehension of some of this came from the artist who said, "art is an explosion", or rather from an extrapolation of that phrase. Art imitates life, life is an explosion, a slow one from our perspective. And it is also coalescence. It is the disintegration of the whole of time into many interations of its principles. We experience fractures of time
A lot of people would have just put up a static or looping background and talked over it, but your editing really helped with understanding the really, uh, dense subject matter. There's some neat ideas here, and I appreciate that you took the time to put it into other terms so it's more understandable.
Element Freak, you're amazing and extremely entertaining. Literature such as Spinal Catastrophism is so esoteric that people like me (the majority) will never have enough information to fully grasp the gravitas of the ideas discussed. I think the most selfless thing a person can do is share information and you must understand how deeply humorous that is. You are a perfect neuron, you are exactly the kind of people the brain needs.
This is my favorite video on this platform. I love the job you did summarizing this, i love the appreciation for how crazy this is, and i love how i can barely even understand what's going on. I have no idea what is happening.
Watching this for the 3rd time because it has all the elements I crave in a video. I love the ideas expressed, the verbiage used, the hilarious side notes sprinkled throughout, and the visual and audio production quality. I also might buy this book now... Please make more book report vids. And invite me on your future podcast, because I need more obscure conversationalist energy like this in my life!!!
As someone who is obsessed with really weird philosophy, spinal catastrophism is probably the weirdest and most interesting one ive found, like deleuze is nothing compared to the weirdness of this shit but I love it and cannot stop thinking about it.
@@gerardlabeouf6075 esotericism says nothing about the content of the material merely its presented form, most "esoteric" works are philosophy ie Bataille and CCRU and what they draw from
@@scriabinismydog2439 kind of but not really; hyperstition and hypergenealogy are definitely philosophical projects, they just are not traditional, truth over production is a territorial method of the west and this method follows a creative method, following with flows and energy forms of wills.
I was completely lost the entire time and had no clue what you were talking about but you sound like you know what you're doing, so 10/10 fantastic video
Just wanna say this was a great video on a topic I've never heard about. Your summaries are well-worded, your commentary is insightful and funny. Overall very fun, thank your for this great work.
Holy shit. From Burroughs to Velicovsky to aquatic ape.. man this was WILD. Literally probably the BEST video on RUclips I’ve ever seen Thank you for work. So many new ideas..
First off, excellent breakdown of a theory that I first saw very briefly discussed on Dino Diego‘s iceberg videos. Secondly, this entire theory reminds me of that 4chan post where some guy posits that all of history has been a conflict between psychopaths and schizophrenics.
This is a WILD theory I had never heard of before and likely never would have if not for your video, which was fascinating and very enjoyably presented! Commenting so the algorithm keeps working in your favor and more people join us on this journey of "wait how did he get from that to this tho???" Great job.
I've been legit obsessed with this video. Ever since watching it fully in one go a couple days ago I keep viewing the things in the context of all these crazy theories presented, my favorite one being about the future bringing itself into place, and us having the ability of foresight. Thank you, author of this essay ❤
this is simply one of the most interesting videos I have ever watched!!!! I cannot wait until you cover this book more as I think my tiny mind could not handle reading it myself.
Huge amount of content and philosophy covered. This has enough truth to make the best sifi and comedy in one work. Much appreciated for all your efforts.
I started watching this expecting a funny deep dive into an obscure topic, but as the subject matter exploded into a dizzying array of fractally subdividing micro-topics, I felt my blood pressure rise and my heart begin to pound in my chest with a kind of thrill and excitement that can only be described as verging on the sublime. By the end of the first 45 minutes I had stopped paying attention to the game I was playing and was completely enraptured by the pace of the documentary, captivated and mystified by the next headlong dive into the philosophical thicket. Thank you!
The part about language possessing the speaker's nervous system reminds me of some concepts in Alchemy where the spoken word and matter are believed to be made of the same thing, just in different forms. The "philosophers stone" isn't really a stone, but the base substance that everything is created from. It is simultaneously physical and conceptual. Terrence Mckenna described it like this: "The central conception of alchemy is the conception of the philosopher’s stone. What is it? It’s the universal panacea at the end of time. It’s the chocolate cake that your mother made once a week when you were a child. It is the pana supersubstantialis. It’s all things to all men and all women. If you’re hungry, you eat it. If you’re dirty, you shower under it. If you need to go somewhere, you sit on it and you fly there. If you have a question, it answers it. It’s something that the human mind senses in itself and is related to, invoked and worshiped over centuries, before the slow rise of the patriarchy, rationalism and materialism turned it into a myth and a fairy tale."
@@SuperKoMa-gir8L the "patriarchy" he's referring to in the quote is literal historical patriarchy, as in hundreds of years of kings ruling over generations. The land was literally ruled by patriarchs. He's not talking about the patriarchy you heard the 3rd wave feminists scream about in 2014, which is actually an oligarchy.
Your video was recommended. Never heard of this ... concept before and started watching out of curiosity. ... It is ... unbelievable. Great work. Don't worry about spelling, you showed the names, that's good. Many, many Thanks for sharing. Think I'll (need to) watch it several times.
This is amazingly interesting! Definitely gonna rewatch to help it all sink in a little more. Thanks so much. Maybe another subject off the original iceberg you found this one on.
I have been studying biocentrism and related theoriea for years. So this was very refreshing addition to my SETI knowledge. I have had gaps in my theory with Barker. This British man is to be contacted.
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WE NEED PART 2 !!!!! As novellty apreciattor and self transforming elf i need to hear one of the most interesting theorires ever!
I’m gonna be honest, I have literally no idea what any of this means, its significance, whether its right/wrong, and I am no where near qualified enough to understand it. However, your presentation and research skills are incredible, and I throughly enjoy your passion for delving into such obscure and esoteric topics. Bravo!
This is legitimately so good to watch high. Honestly, just watching it sober feels like being high. Really demonstrates the levels of simultaneous euphoria and panic that can be brought about by trying to play the game of believing something so wild even just for a moment.
Not quite 10 2x speed minutes in I decided to read the book. I don't get a chance to find something potentially legitimately-engaging anymore; and while nothing you've gone over is revelatory or unknown, I'd like to give it the chance to expose its depths in the intended way instead of in secondhand summary. Thank you for making the video and presenting the work to a wider audience. I'm going to go ahead and let the video play out muted so you get your view anyway.
This video introduced me to the world of theory-fictions, hyperstitions, CCRU, Urbanomic, Nick Land, Gilles Deleuze, etc. You introduced me to a philosophical rabbit hole I had no idea existed. My reading list is a LOT longer now. Thanks so much!!
I'm really not sure how much of this to take literally and what to take as a philosophical potential. Like some of it is extremely believable, especially many of the ideas that originated from multiple view points in several different fields. Other parts are harder to really grasp because how could we ever test them? Though maybe that's the point. Regardless this is an excellent video and will live rent free in my head for a very long time (before being forgotten and integrated into my subconscious as it continually folds inwards). Ps. Also I find it weird that the book refers to works as the most basic nerve structures because worms are infinitely more complex than jellyfish and their nerve nets
As a palaeontology student I can tell you this book does the classic pseudo-scientific metaphysics nonsense of taking lots of scientific concepts and using outside of their correct context (and usually needs to explain them wrong in order to do so). The idea that the law of superposition is about depth is a misunderstanding, its literally only about things on the bottom being deposited earlier than things on top but that wouldnt allow for more woo about older things being deeper. Recapitulation theory was developed for embryology and has been debunked for nearly a century. Lastly, applying catastrophism and uniformitarianism outside of earth history is so absurd to me it betrays a deep lack of understanding of geology. Their special "geneological" approach feels like an excuse to say as many wrong things as possible without an ounce of sense or truth.
While I did find the ideas of the book enjoyable, Let's not make the mistake of taking them at face value. The text is rich with pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo and uses intentionally obscure vocabulary, exactly of the kind Alan Sokal warned us about. If you liked any of the ideas presented, by all means, feel free to do so, they are very cool, but don't mistake them for something they are not.

It took me forever to finally finish this book because I had to keep reading other books to understand it. Felt like a gateway drug to a thousand side-quests.
Since you've read this book, would you say it goes beyond being a self-referential self-fulfilling prophecy of brain twisting or not?
What a waste of time.
I'm just grateful for videos like this that can present me with some of the ideas in an overview so I can go "hmm, neat" and "wow, cringe" for a couple of hours without being fully exposed to the masturbatory verbosity of the original work. I can't let my misanthropy get too extreme, so l have to sample from a safe distance lol
@@hope1575 I'm already depressed from reading one article about this book. How the hell am I supposed to deal with philosophies that say "akschually we are evolving to destroy ourselves and the entire universe and consciousness is awful."
@Anne-wf1vo Depends on what you mean by dealing with them. On good days I just say "lol nah, that's stupid," and on bad days I say "yeah, that sounds about right." On medium days I try not to think about it or it turns into a bad day.
So when people tell me that I’ve got no backbone, I’m just not traumatized enough for them?
pretty much
Yeah pretty much. But then you get fuckers like me who're so overly traumatized my spines been broken 😂

I’m just starting, doing the same. Will edit if mentally sound

Im alive, but fundamentally different I fear
You inspired me to have some before watching. Let’s see if I can become more unhinged.

well I got 8 minutes in and had to google anorganic semiotics and was faced with what appears to be an interview conducted by telepathy so. you got me for the next hour m8
This reminds me of a peculiar book I saw on Amazon and read simply because it sounded weird and interesting. It’s known as “The Filatory: Compendium I” and contains a chapter regarding the suspicion of one’s own body plotting and executing its own plans in spite of the mind. It characterizes the body itself as a type of super-agent and the mind as a mere means of accomplishing its goals. It was a fascinating read, though, apparently not well known.
Wtf lol
Checked this book no reviews or nothing how did u come across it ?
It's not really that crazy, just the natural implications of the Neo-Darwinian model of Evolution, which is the standard model within Biology as of now.
The body as a whole is enslaved by the genes, the genes are the shareholders of the body and the brain is the CEO. "The Individual is just the fruiting body, most of the body is within the genepool (which is not directly seen)"
If the CEO does not maximize shareholder gains, he will eventually get ousted. (Behaviour that does not result in sufficient reproduction will be selected against over the long-term)
As the CEO is not always reliable, the Organism has some backup mechanisms to improve compliance, like disrupting the function on nervous system when fortuitous mating opportunities are presented (Love; Increasing Impulsivity, Anxiety about losing the opportunity, decreased visibility of drawbacks "Love makes blind")
Or also when it backfires in the modern world, as it won't relinquish calories/fat, decreasing non-exercise-activity-thermogenesis when the balance nears or is below Zero, thereby hindering mating success.
Also population growth starts to decrease dramatically when reliable birth control methods become available, so many Individuals/Brains would choose less kids over more and it is the body which forces them to have more, by making them lustful and pull-out ineffective (partly due to inhibited impulse control when it most matters to the Individual)
The body has to be forced to comply to the interest of the brain, by manipulating it with hormones or using non-organic physical barriers between the bodies.
Similarly, with caffeine and other extraneous chemicals, we can also force the body to increase non-exercise-activity-thermogenesis.
The greatest example of how Individuals struggle against their gene-masters, is that they desire to be immortal, but the genes require them to die for evolution to occur and the species/genepool as a whole to stay competitive against other species because of the Red Queen hypothesis "In order to stay in the same place, you need to run as fast as you can" See: Second-order selection against the immortal by Malmesbury
@@perverse_incewow that was amazing and interesting I thank you so much it's so hard to find unique and interesting ideas and perspectives
I fell asleep immediately upon putting on this video and had one of the wildest dreams of my life where the contents were an interactive PBS documentary on its topics. I've never had a RUclips video follow me into my dreams. I'm interpreting this as my subconscious mind screaming out for it to be true.
Lucid dreaming as a form of time travel. Congratulations on applying the subject matter firsthand, hope you enjoyed your visit back into the Jurassic Spinal Landscape.
This is making my stomach flu so much worse but I can't stop watching. What the actual hell is this
I don’t even know what to say. This was like a gift. I find the spine and bipedalism fascinating subjects. Thank you for doing the heavy lifting by actually reading this obscure treatise, and then delivering it succinctly, with humor. Thank you. I would gladly pay for future installments.
I for one, as a spine owner can certainly confirm that anywhere after 28 it is a catastrophy.
22mins in I'm done with it this schizo too
I am absolutely OBSESSED with your verbal fluency, truly magnificent control over language in aid of illustrating obscure yet fantastical constructs, and have just truly just fell in love with your ability to convey ideas. I'm also only 13 minutes into the video, but felt profoundly compelled to pause it just to TAKE IN HOW MUCH I LOVED THE VIDEO.
It's videos like this that make life worthwhile. The beauty of just illustrated self-reflection on self-reflection (on self-reflection, on self-reflection, ..., ad infinitum). There's something uncharacteristically *human* or special.
So yeah, anyways, subscribed.

I've been looking for a resource on time and perception long before this video. Never found something that fully scratched that itch.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the excellent humor intertwined with the exposition? It's tasteful, quick, and adds to the impact, instead of subtracting from it.
A large part of our facial bone structure is formed from the neural crest which originates from the structure that becomes the spinal cord. Most bone is formed from the sclerotome which has a completely different origin. So in a way the most visible personal representation of ourselves to the world is the spine usurping another tissue type of its role.

it’s hard not to think of the body without organs throughout this whole discussion, especially when you brought up the nervous system! lines of flight are ingrained in our sensory experiences becoming language, pluripotentiality is built into our bones, our past anticipations of the future pattern the multiplicity of forces within the unconscious that compel us as intuition (biological foresight creating psychological foresight) and still it is the helpless, necessary organization of our bodies that leaves us paranoid and fixated on ourselves and our futures, anxiously yearning for the simple symmetry of echinoderms.

this whole video is thoughts that run through my head most of the day, often through circular thinking due to OCD. All the key points resonate with my constant questions, surely not unique to myself, but the language of it is extremely digestible to me and I'm glad to see there's so much theory surrounding this extremely large-scale view of the mind and body. These ideas tend to be hard to sequence when they're repeating over and over, this video organises them so well. It's so interesting to see how this is alienating to many, not hard to understand, but rubs against a traditional view of the world that I lack for some reason. The fact such things exist, thought process like my own understood in such an esoteric study, it's so comforting, and makes me feel so much like other people in ways I feared I wasn't. I see the sillyness of it, but I'm even more critical when it appears in my own head and morphs from intrusive thought to intrusive feeling to intrusive mood, that this search to understand the world outside my scope isn't just my mental illness, but something validated by such a clean rhetoric. thanks so much :)

So I just found both of your spine videos. I don’t know wtf I’m in for, but I’m here for the ride.
Holy Hannah, I’m never one to comment on a RUclips video but this has become my Roman Empire. I’ve shared this with so many friends, as the ideas contained within the 1:40:00 runtime, are ideas I find incredibly interesting and can only lead to further rabbit holes. I love when people hyperfixate and share that with the world. The cadence and intonation of your speech is perfect to digest difficult concepts, and while I did find myself replaying the more wordy sections, (no fault of your own) it was never too wordy to comprehend. -I also appreciated the light notes of comedy sprinkled throughout. aNyWaYs- thank you for this masterpiece of a video essay, I will be back for more !
If you like this do some research about nick land accelerationism and the ccru ;it's something believe me
i have been falling asleep to this video every night for a week now and understand it less than before i did
although you are skeptical. i am convinced this is the most important collection of knowledge in existence! please show this man support so i don't have to read this myself... i will
This was incredible to listen to and I will be returning to listen and investigate more for myself. So much of this is so intuitive and interrelated with so much I’ve learned, thought and experienced in my life. Thank you for creating and compiling all of this! :)
"birds cannot fly backwards" shows footage of a humming bird that can famously fly backwards
"Does the set of all sets containing themselves contain itself?" It can in a Platonic sense, in that there's nothing fundamentally contradictory about it, but no, not in the physical sense applicable to our mind's ability to model itself in some sort of recursive cascade. However, the question that truly reveals the paradox at the heart of mathematics is, "Does the set of all sets _not_ containing themselves contain itself?"
Wow. You know that person at the party that has a lot of interesting things and ideas to share, but is also batshit crazy. You just can't stop listeing? Well. I feel like I am just now waking up from the 1.5hrs session of immersion into borderline insanity and I love it. Really great video!
What a rollercoaster.
Eagerly awaiting part 2. Your narration skills and style make for an awesome listen. Thanks and keep it up!
My very* basic comprehension of some of this came from the artist who said, "art is an explosion", or rather from an extrapolation of that phrase. Art imitates life, life is an explosion, a slow one from our perspective. And it is also coalescence. It is the disintegration of the whole of time into many interations of its principles. We experience fractures of time
A lot of people would have just put up a static or looping background and talked over it, but your editing really helped with understanding the really, uh, dense subject matter.
There's some neat ideas here, and I appreciate that you took the time to put it into other terms so it's more understandable.
i remember trying to read this book a few years ago and not making it past the first chapter lol, you're a bolder person than i
holy shit its u
Element Freak, you're amazing and extremely entertaining. Literature such as Spinal Catastrophism is so esoteric that people like me (the majority) will never have enough information to fully grasp the gravitas of the ideas discussed. I think the most selfless thing a person can do is share information and you must understand how deeply humorous that is. You are a perfect neuron, you are exactly the kind of people the brain needs.
Tbh knowledge is weird if you get the simple idea you don't really need an explanation
Finally, RUclips is recommending me things I want to watch.
This is my favorite video on this platform. I love the job you did summarizing this, i love the appreciation for how crazy this is, and i love how i can barely even understand what's going on. I have no idea what is happening.
Watching this for the 3rd time because it has all the elements I crave in a video. I love the ideas expressed, the verbiage used, the hilarious side notes sprinkled throughout, and the visual and audio production quality. I also might buy this book now...
Please make more book report vids. And invite me on your future podcast, because I need more obscure conversationalist energy like this in my life!!!
I hope this keeps climbing up in the RUclips algorithm, as someone who was just recommended this right now.
Best schitzopost I’ve seen to date, fantastic work
As someone who is obsessed with really weird philosophy, spinal catastrophism is probably the weirdest and most interesting one ive found, like deleuze is nothing compared to the weirdness of this shit but I love it and cannot stop thinking about it.
Its more like esotericism
@@gerardlabeouf6075 esotericism says nothing about the content of the material merely its presented form, most "esoteric" works are philosophy ie Bataille and CCRU and what they draw from
Deleuze's philosophy is actual philosophy though! This is theory-fiction.
@@scriabinismydog2439 kind of but not really; hyperstition and hypergenealogy are definitely philosophical projects, they just are not traditional, truth over production is a territorial method of the west and this method follows a creative method, following with flows and energy forms of wills.

I was completely lost the entire time and had no clue what you were talking about but you sound like you know what you're doing, so 10/10 fantastic video
Just wanna say this was a great video on a topic I've never heard about. Your summaries are well-worded, your commentary is insightful and funny. Overall very fun, thank your for this great work.
Holy shit. From Burroughs to Velicovsky to aquatic ape.. man this was WILD.
Literally probably the BEST video on RUclips I’ve ever seen
Thank you for work. So many new ideas..
First off, excellent breakdown of a theory that I first saw very briefly discussed on Dino Diego‘s iceberg videos. Secondly, this entire theory reminds me of that 4chan post where some guy posits that all of history has been a conflict between psychopaths and schizophrenics.

This is a WILD theory I had never heard of before and likely never would have if not for your video, which was fascinating and very enjoyably presented!

No better way to kick off the new year than listening to this
I've been legit obsessed with this video. Ever since watching it fully in one go a couple days ago I keep viewing the things in the context of all these crazy theories presented, my favorite one being about the future bringing itself into place, and us having the ability of foresight. Thank you, author of this essay ❤
The fact it struck you so suddenly means it was meant to be communicated to the vast, thank you.
this is simply one of the most interesting videos I have ever watched!!!! I cannot wait until you cover this book more as I think my tiny mind could not handle reading it myself.
Delighted to learn that I may be an awful little spine worm in a meat suit! Finally, some good news for me, a worm enthusiast.
Huge amount of content and philosophy covered. This has enough truth to make the best sifi and comedy in one work. Much appreciated for all your efforts.
I started watching this expecting a funny deep dive into an obscure topic, but as the subject matter exploded into a dizzying array of fractally subdividing micro-topics, I felt my blood pressure rise and my heart begin to pound in my chest with a kind of thrill and excitement that can only be described as verging on the sublime. By the end of the first 45 minutes I had stopped paying attention to the game I was playing and was completely enraptured by the pace of the documentary, captivated and mystified by the next headlong dive into the philosophical thicket. Thank you!
The part about language possessing the speaker's nervous system reminds me of some concepts in Alchemy where the spoken word and matter are believed to be made of the same thing, just in different forms. The "philosophers stone" isn't really a stone, but the base substance that everything is created from. It is simultaneously physical and conceptual. Terrence Mckenna described it like this: "The central conception of alchemy is the conception of the philosopher’s stone. What is it? It’s the universal panacea at the end of time. It’s the chocolate cake that your mother made once a week when you were a child. It is the pana supersubstantialis. It’s all things to all men and all women. If you’re hungry, you eat it. If you’re dirty, you shower under it. If you need to go somewhere, you sit on it and you fly there. If you have a question, it answers it. It’s something that the human mind senses in itself and is related to, invoked and worshiped over centuries, before the slow rise of the patriarchy, rationalism and materialism turned it into a myth and a fairy tale."

This video was extremely fascinating from start to finish. You hit us with a bunch of bizarre ideas but presented it all in a digestable way
I do appreciate your effort, endurance. Looking forward to part 2.
Your video was recommended. Never heard of this ... concept before and started watching out of curiosity. ... It is ... unbelievable. Great work. Don't worry about spelling, you showed the names, that's good. Many, many Thanks for sharing. Think I'll (need to) watch it several times.
Just comment to support you and your sacrifice to the algorithm. Great video, very detailed thank you
oh boy, this book is much more deeper than i was expecting from the title alone, i'm always glad to get multiple existential crises whenever possible
This is amazingly interesting! Definitely gonna rewatch to help it all sink in a little more. Thanks so much.
Maybe another subject off the original iceberg you found this one on.
This deserves more recognition. You and this idea, This is so interesting.
I have been studying biocentrism and related theoriea for years. So this was very refreshing addition to my SETI knowledge. I have had gaps in my theory with Barker. This British man is to be contacted.
good luck finding him lol
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WE NEED PART 2 !!!!! As novellty apreciattor and self transforming elf i need to hear one of the most interesting theorires ever!
I’m gonna be honest, I have literally no idea what any of this means, its significance, whether its right/wrong, and I am no where near qualified enough to understand it.
However, your presentation and research skills are incredible, and I throughly enjoy your passion for delving into such obscure and esoteric topics. Bravo!
This is legitimately so good to watch high. Honestly, just watching it sober feels like being high. Really demonstrates the levels of simultaneous euphoria and panic that can be brought about by trying to play the game of believing something so wild even just for a moment.
Not quite 10 2x speed minutes in I decided to read the book. I don't get a chance to find something potentially legitimately-engaging anymore; and while nothing you've gone over is revelatory or unknown, I'd like to give it the chance to expose its depths in the intended way instead of in secondhand summary.
Thank you for making the video and presenting the work to a wider audience. I'm going to go ahead and let the video play out muted so you get your view anyway.
Very considerate, I’m glad you gave the book a chance
This video introduced me to the world of theory-fictions, hyperstitions, CCRU, Urbanomic, Nick Land, Gilles Deleuze, etc. You introduced me to a philosophical rabbit hole I had no idea existed. My reading list is a LOT longer now. Thanks so much!!
That was my experience too lol
I'm really not sure how much of this to take literally and what to take as a philosophical potential. Like some of it is extremely believable, especially many of the ideas that originated from multiple view points in several different fields. Other parts are harder to really grasp because how could we ever test them? Though maybe that's the point. Regardless this is an excellent video and will live rent free in my head for a very long time (before being forgotten and integrated into my subconscious as it continually folds inwards).
Ps. Also I find it weird that the book refers to works as the most basic nerve structures because worms are infinitely more complex than jellyfish and their nerve nets
You’re on the right track, take everything in the video with a massive grain of salt.
As a palaeontology student I can tell you this book does the classic pseudo-scientific metaphysics nonsense of taking lots of scientific concepts and using outside of their correct context (and usually needs to explain them wrong in order to do so). The idea that the law of superposition is about depth is a misunderstanding, its literally only about things on the bottom being deposited earlier than things on top but that wouldnt allow for more woo about older things being deeper. Recapitulation theory was developed for embryology and has been debunked for nearly a century. Lastly, applying catastrophism and uniformitarianism outside of earth history is so absurd to me it betrays a deep lack of understanding of geology. Their special "geneological" approach feels like an excuse to say as many wrong things as possible without an ounce of sense or truth.
@jamestang1227 Thanks, this one goes in the next vid probably
While I did find the ideas of the book enjoyable, Let's not make the mistake of taking them at face value.
The text is rich with pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo and uses intentionally obscure vocabulary, exactly of the kind Alan Sokal warned us about.
If you liked any of the ideas presented, by all means, feel free to do so, they are very cool, but don't mistake them for something they are not.
@@jamestang1227it sounds like you just don’t like having fun
