It's partially correct that we exist based on the contexts provided to us. Louis Althusser had put forth one of the characteristics of the concept of Ideology that states that our existence is made through the ideologies through which we perceive the realities of life. It is the linguistic reality that we adhere to when we refer to our existence - it serves as the context in which we 'exist', further pointing out to its materiality.

It does bother me sometimes. You are, to some person or even yourself, just the things you do and your habits. For example, If I met a friend who I used to play chess with, he would only ask me about my progress in chess or something related to the hobbies and habits he knows I have. If you take away the habits, likes and dislikes, you will not exist.
We are defined by our experiences and memories. And although we are indeed nothing without these, we have the ability to create new memories and experiences. Therefore, while the things around us shape us, it is really us, who changes things. That is what it means to live a conscious life.
Everything from past and present defines us, as well as anything from the future.
But that makes the existence of another conscious being to prove your real, maybe we can't trust in our memories and senses that much, but if we don't, there is were we stop existing, and yet the people that forgets who they are still are here, visible and real; just not as themselves as how they once were but not who they are now.
I think is pretty complex and big this topic, like now I want to hang and discuss this 3 hour straight
sorry for the bad grammarly it's my second language and I haven't written in a fucking long time
So true. I have been thinking about memory loss lately: if you lose your memory, are you still you? Because you dont know what you are when you are in a memory loss. It is like being cloned. Even if you and your clone has the same body you and your clone are different people. So i think it is like you dying mentally and someone else who isnt you replacing you.
@@tenumbriel "while the things around us shape us, it is really us, who change things"
but now the real question is, who or what are we?
and u already know the answer to that question...
memories, experiences, along with our environment and our genetics are things over which we have no control, factors which make us who we are and which influence the decisions we make...
the truth is, the universe works on the law of cause and effect and we are no different. Everything is basically like a massive game of domino and we just happen to be one of the pieces.
I think this is really important for people who struggle with self-worth to hear. The people you interact with on a daily basis shape your self-image and can easily create a negative one if they don't complement your outlook. A shift in social environment can make you feel like a different person.
its not the people around me that are affecting me i just don't want to accept that im a failure

There's a theory in sociology called the 'goffman's dramaturgy' which basically states the idea that life is like a never-ending play in which people are actors playing out some role on the stage of life and how our roles vary from the people we are surrounded by.

I believe this to be true. We can only “prove” our existence due to other people observing us and confirming that we’re there. Even if there are documents and such, without anyone confirming us to be alive we cannot be perceived as real or existent
@@pockystickupyour "even if there are documents and such, without anyone confirming us alive, we cannot perceive to be real or existent" how can you not be classified as real and existent if you're on document? The fact that you were on file and registered as a living human being who has experienced a life, is logical scientific evidence and proof that the person existed, without the need of a person confirming it. Wouldn't they only be truly non existent if that document was lost and no known memories of the person remains?

@@inditalian7279 yesss
Well to me it’s an endless dilemma circling between “do I really exist/do I really have free will? But isn’t the very fact that I’m questioning it proof that I do?” It’s the same as asking me, if the chicken or the egg came first? Truth be told, I have no idea, does a circle even have an end? It usually goes on like that, and eventually I stop panicking about it after a sip of: oh lord im just a tiny speck on a Boulder in the infinite vast endless space. and then I just wake up continuing my pointless life, but hey, at least there is pizza
Pizza time!
*Has existential crisis* then just goes to work and continues his insignificance, i always found that funny and i always do that too. Existing is weird.

For your information, the egg came first! Since eggs existed before chickens did.

Lazy Owl has a lot of potential. I can see this channel blowing up. Just glad I’m here to witness that
Same
Agreed I love this content
This channel traces and steal so many other animation that it is unfair how successful they are doing
indeed
@@nofromirobot6320 what’s the proof for this?
This was interesting and yea.. I feel the same too. My school friends know a version of me that was my identity based on everything and everyone that influenced me back then. College friends know a different version me. If a friend from school and a friend from college meet each other and talk about me it sounds like they are talking about 2 different people.
btw its true
My favorite idea in relation to this concept is that people don't have a singular identity. Other people's perception of any individual is based on the context that they've experience with that person. The random lady you walked past in the grocery store sees you as an insignificant side-character in her own story, while each member of your circle of close friends see you as part of the supporting cast in their own stories. Beyond that, your own perception of yourself isn't even entirely accurate when you account for bias towards yourself, and experiences you've had and forgotten about.
Yep. And once such perception is lost. The person seems as a mysterious void. This causes them to be vary of you, eventually ending up in losing contact.
That concept was shown in a video on yt. I cant recall the channel and vid title...
A few days ago, one night, I woke up and had deep thought about our existence. At first I though It's fascinating how we are souls embodied in meat and bones, and how we can feel, see, ear... and that we and everything around us are made of billions of small small particles animated by energy, and somehow linked to the universe. Then this led me to think about the universe itself, the infinity and the beauty of it, we don't know how it was created, when, why... And when you look at it like that, this makes us realize how small we are on this little, yet big for us humans, planet called Earth in the middle of nowhere, and that everything happening here is so petty and ridiculous: greed, hate, manipulating, wars, money... Just why??? All this for what??? But one rather terrifying thought came in my mind: what if the universe just didn't exist? What if nothing existed at all?? Like absolutely nothing??? What's the purpose of the universe??? We'll never know...
I thought about that last part a long time ago, but I got dragged into that thought so much, I actually got a little dizzy. It was scary even.
Yeah man it’s terrifying it’s insane but just gotta live life and love everyone
Yeah I think about shit like this everyday I get lost in my own mind..
@@yyuuu___77 i pretty much developed so much stress and anxiety just because i thought that it would be a good idea to think about it, but no, it's a burden to me now, but i am slowly recovering from it. still gotta stay postive. :>
@@nathanvandusschoten7566 Thats what happens to me
Your art, animation, and self knowledge is godly.
bruuuuuhh it's just...idk interesting

Please tell me he didn't steal from anyone......again
i remember an explanation on the introduction of einstein's relativity: if a ball thrown in an infinite space without anything but it, how can you tell the ball is displaced? you cant. but if you compare it with a point of reference, it now relatively moves.
likewise, ppl need to relate themselves with others in order to realize, they are existing and where they are. it violates the idea of exclusive self, the self that exists within. but it makes so much sense, the very humanly relative self.
This is a great way of putting it! It also explains problems with self image.
I gotta be honest, I had it multiples times That I thought we are in a simulation. I also think that there is no sense in life. I even think that nobody is special. But I got rid of it. It’s just life. So I’ll spend my life how I think it would do the best for me. And if YOU read that then I would suggest to do the same for you.
Thanks for your videos, Owl.
Much love from Germany
It seems to me that you just try to escape your conclusion
You're definitely lost in a bunch of thoughts , have you ever wondered why I'm only trapped in a daily routine forgetting about your self , the Life you live in distract you from the truth , you shall take a break and organize your thoughts
So you're afraid of interrogation
Maybe try this video called "nothing matters and thats ok"
@@yassineelboukili2878 do you ever think why we worry about a temporary life, while most of what's after is unknown? And that unknown is what's gonna be infinite? Unlike our lives right now?
I see existentialism as a powerful tool for self improvement.I have never seen successful people having an existential crisis
yup.
the nature of reality is subjective.
we can only experience through subjective perception.
even when reading numbers off of a measurement device, their meaning is interpreted subjectively.
everybody creates their own reality build on their personal context of past experiences.
Try moving to a far away country and starting over... then you'll know just how true this is. Good luck
then you will make those connections again because you need them to survive right ?
@@user-vj6yq6qo1k that's right but these new connections know me in a different way than my past connections so in a sense, these connections are creating a new person. It's an odd experience
@@benjaminholt6640 damn thanks for making it clear .....I got what you meant now
Yeah... it's like for each and every other person you are also a new different person....you talk about different stuff, even feel differently,...and i think emotions are a major part of every questioning do... there's always a feeling behind everything...and we never we exactly same with 2 person....am i being understandable !!
@@deepanshukataria7707 yup , you are
this channel is basically a collection of our 3 am thoughts in the form of videos
This is entirely accurate. Yesterday I was having a particularly intense wave of depersonalization.
I was thinking to myself, "who am I independent of the factors surrounding me?" What I realized is my identity is very context dependent. Whether it was my work, hobbies, attractions, relationships, etc.
This helped me put that feeling into words. Thanks so much
“Our life was a lie”
-said by a non-existent wise man
Triangles don't exist. It's just an abstract idea. "Perfect" triangles don't exist.
@Sara Rehydration Abstractness is like something that does not really exist. It's like an idea that we agree on even though it's not really accurate. Like the idea of a square, for example, is an abstract idea, since there is no such thing as a *perfect* square in existence. Technically speaking almost everything can be abstract, but there are levels of abstraction (which itself can be considered an abstract idea, but we won't get into that lol).
Well this has completely liberated my soul. thanks for the existential crisis, I love your content
So glad I came across this channel. Your going to blow up more than you already have! Keep it up!

Buddhism have the concept of "there's no self"
Yeah but Buddhism is really talking about how there is no contained quality of consciousness. Lazy Owl is saying that our Identity inherently isn't definitive or concrete, but he makes the mistake of thinking that means we don't -exist-. We do exist, but our ego definition of ourselves does not.
This got in my recommendations and i don't regret a second watching this, absolutely beautiful,genius and short.
This video was really simple and yet amazingly explained. Thank you!
I've always believed that all things in existence already has their total potential of existence, their quality to exist is just as such, to exist. When we bring forward the idea of something that was unseen- We do not give it the quality to exist, rather to be realized. All potentials and all timelines exist right here and now. And our circumstances and lifetimes work in bringing them into realization, not existence. But that's only my take on it! c:
Good comment
Never imagined the triforce could give me an existential crisis, thank you very cool.
Thanks for giving me an existential crisis, I needed it :)
I love this kind of videos, so happy I found your channel:)
I'm gonna be real, I am a person in this physical plane suffering from the same mortal coil as all other lifeforms which as a fact, makes me very real
When the circumstances surrounding our stay in the mortal realm change, we die, but were we ever "alive", are we truly dead, and gone?
Or did the strings holding our body and soul in place, just got cut?
Great video once again, really glad that i came across this channel
yes
this is my favourite channel so far ...... I like watching videos that makes me think you`re doing a great job keep going guys
I like how youtube showed me this on 3 am right before im going to sleep lol
do we exist?
its time to look in and start asking the real questions
Great video! Such a hidden gem channel.
I love your work, truly inspiring
Having your own perspective is everything to this. Even though we all see and register I ,as myself, from our perspectives. They both hold their own meaning due to our perspective and perception on the spectrum. Well all exist but don't since we are a frequency of moving particles that doesn't mix and meld with other states of matter that's vibrating particles. But just being that along with everything else at the base has a connection, which is movement/vibration so in those terms the only way to differentiate our existence is through the vibration we emit separately from others to give us definition and become a higher dimensional being of existence. That's my thoughts
"The person who we think we are is just a made up concept by our mind, we are not our thoughts, this is the big illusion of life"
-Master Oogway
Love your explanations. Great talking speed and clear voice.
The imagination and effort is amazing!!! Loved it, subbed.
Uuuhh, no. The triangle analogy didn't really translate for this problem but I get what you're trying to say. If you define your entire existence on your external identity, this MIGHT be true. But really we exist whether we contain an identity or not.
Really he's trying to say that there is no single definitive identity for any individual. We as people construct our own identities but this has nothing to do with whether or not we actually exist.
You are real because you are experiencing this moment as it is, but if you constantly filter reality through "who you are as a person" you aren't being honest with yourself about your existence.
I like your answer, Yeah, for me the question of whether I really exist or not is already answered when I began asking that question it is the same for doubting my own free will because isn't it me myself who wills the question into existence? Of course this is only true for when the question is asked by yourself to yourself if any other person asked you this question they are either trying get you to join a cult or is messing with you.
Hey lazy owl I subscribed about 2 weeks ago I really like your content, you get my brain thinking or just remenicing about some parts of my past🤔 keep up the good work man cant wait to see what you have in store next
This is Underrated and Good topic makes me thinking about it more. I enjoy it :)
I just subscribed yesterday and this got uploaded less than an hour ago, I feel so blessed by the algorithm right now and I hope this channel will be too in the near future
I just love the style of this channel
This is as deep as it gets and idk why but it almost made me cry
I have been thinking this exact theme , for 1 year now,
Finally some one who speaks up ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ subbed you ❤️❤️
thats exactly why it is so awesome to think abuot this stuff. Because, if you do it right, you get to realize that whatever perspective you have is actually your choice! You choose what perspective you wanna see, and to make a choice is to live. This kind of things help a lot to get through depression sometimes
...and sometimes they help you get a depression :(
This is fantastic and i love is 2 min.
I will rethink my whole relationships dramas now, thank you.
omg I just found your channel and thought you stopped uploading! Great video!
I knew I subscribed a while ago 4 a reason. Good content man keep it up ♾
Strongly hoping these kinds of video will keep coming
wasn't prepared to feel like i just listened to episode of wtnv. thanks cecil
i just discovered this dude on my recommendations and i aint leaving
Answering the questons no one is willing to ask. Respect.
Bro I got really high and found this channel it’s my new favorite
Already one of the best channels on youtube making videos about the real questions
This channel gonna blow up
Love the simplicity of explanation ♥️♥️
Yessss
I am so feeling good right noww
I am watching a 2 min video at 4 am and the title is 'do we exist'
Couldn't be more happy
This channel is incredible
I love this channel, these contents are amazing!
That scares me so much, that to some people that I interact dily I do not exist outside our casual interaction. Though it can also be a bit weird, since someone out there thinks of me and I think of them, but we have never met and only think of them in our heads as imaginary characters that incidentally fit our ideas.
I love these. short but they give you plenty to think on
Underrated channel onggg
Beautiful video, beautiful message, beautiful visualisations, beautiful animations, beautiful delivery, beautiful voice, and not least, beautiful background music! May I ask - What's the song, and who is it by?
This channel is a hidden gem
My new favorite RUclipsr!
It feels to me like you've just gifted one of the biggest life lessons in an under two-minute video.
I wish they had more videos. I really enjoy their content. Any other channels similar to this?
this year i had to go to a new school and for some reason it just doesnt feel good at all. the class that im in is small and there’s nobody i relate to or could be friends with. i’ve tried but none of them are my type of people. this has never happened to me before but i’m now this quiet person who always sits alone because they have no friends… i’ve always had at least one very good friend in every class i’ve ever been in (and let me tell you i’ve been in a bunch). but now whenever im at school i am seen as this person thats just not me at all. and it’s frustrating because i want to be myself but i just cant be and now whenever im there i feel like i literally don’t exist. like who even is this person and everyone there thinks that is who i am, the students but also the teachers. but its so not and i honestly just feel like crying like its literally so fucking draining and exhausting. i hate being there. and it sucks because its very important that i make it through the next two years but i feel like its just never gonna work this way
Yes, I do exist. Rene descartes answered this question very well. “I think therefore I am.” But if everything was taken away from me, then no I would not exist. That sounds a lot like death, or an existence like the men living in Socrates cave who lived there without ever being outside. So thankfully, for today I can think and I have contextual clues, or antecedents which can help dictate my behaviors that will cause the consequences in my life, ABCs of behaviorism. And I also have my genetic code from my ancestors which gives me a wonderful nature base to create myself out of using my environment/context/nurture upbringing I was raised in, concept of nature and nurture. For everyone else out there, maybe y’all exist, you guys sure seem real. Thanks for the video, you explained an interesting perspective in a way that was easy to understand. Look forward to your next video!
I have the hope that even in those extreme circunstances ill keep myself together, but it might be an impossible task. Removing everything but your body or even your consciousness is almost like removing yourself
Nice to see another video! 👏

RUclips: "we're having existential crisis now."
That was a nice visual representation of the idea, nice video
I needed a little existential crisis with my lunch. Thanks man
Wooooo lets goo lazy finally uploaded again!
oh man your videos are so so good
That spooky love door though... Nice.
Several existential crises and answering a deep question in two minutes-that's impressive.
Please don't stop making videos. Good luck man!
Thanks i really needed it. Tomorrow my school gonna start
That was awesome, thank you 😍
keep up the great work i love your content
I'm always having existencial crisis because I don't know who I am, I think by now I can say I am someone who loves my people a lot and that just wants their company, the other things that make me happy change all of the time, I'll try to enjoy those things before they go and love my people for all the time that we have
Tqs fr uploading this video ❤😊
Just what i needed
