Hiya, I remember watching a long video from what I think is this YouTuber, and I need help finding it. I really want to re-watch it as it was so beautiful, a feast for the soul lol.

It was about different levels of knowledge I think? How being able to do more, to know more does nothing to satisfy anyone. If anything it makes them feel worse.

The main character was a spherical robot who loved to "sploosh." He managed a certain part of the sea on a planet he was in charge of terraforming. He meets another sphere who guides him up to another level where they make art. Then they go to another level which is a simulation where anyone can make anything they want with their mind. Finally they get to the final-ish level where they can edit their code, and then they meet a fake robot moon.

I recently wrote some constructive criticism on someone's post asking for it, but not really wanting it, and was shot down because of my view on carbon copies of Exurb1a's content style (applies to all content creation imo).

But I wanted to share my view wider because I think it's important, to save people wasting the time and energy of trying to replicate Exurb1a's content style exactly:

Alex is why we love the content. Everything that makes Exurb1a what he is, makes up Exurb1a. The biggest part of it is the delivery, the passion, his very self. ....We associate his voice, timed wit and cadence with the content, but it's all of it, and quite mainly his passion, that makes it special.

For example, copies of Banksy paintings sell for £9.99 on eBay because they aren't the real thing, they're nowhere close despite being perfect copies, because they are not him.

Go watch Ian McKellen's Shakespeare on YouTube, he copies Shakespeare so well, all the content is there, but the delivery is 100% passionate Ian McKellen. That's why Ian is huge. He carries the torch, as himself. Copies do not work. That's what I want this kid to understand, be yourself and deliver with passion and you will be great.

Take the concepts, work hard, carry the torch, but be yourself. Exurb1a didn't get where he is from scratch, he diligently researched hundreds of texts and subjects to create his content, he strives to make something thought provoking and insightful from atop the shoulders of giants, then delivers it like an overhead thunderclap, full tilt.

Go hard or go home, but if you do go - go as your authentic, passionate self. .....or they'll sell you on Ebay for £9.99.

SARCASTIC EXISTENTIAL CRISIS TIMEEEEEEEEEE!!

I think once I watched a video about how ideal storytelling should be, what makes a movie has a good storytelling (don;t remember the movie but it's about apocalypse) and bad storytelling (the example was as above so below), and the narator talk about "show, don't tell" essentially. Is it his video that was being removed?

If you are feeling bored or uneventful, I have come up with a little hypothesis that "reasoning" doesn't really exist, or at least not in the way we think. (see what I did there...)

I'm sure you've been sitting at your computers waiting for that one bad knockoff to upload again. Well that, I did.

Y'know that whole mind body problem thing? Yeah I solved the cunt with science and adult sciencey work.

Give the thing a go for at least 30 seconds if you're bored. Or don't. That's fine too.

What's that song called in Exurb1a's (now taken down) Losing You?

Does anyone care to guess the philosophical meaning of this video?

Hello, I know it's not even been a year since the last book, but do we know if Exurb1a's working on a new book at all?

I’ve looked through all of his videos, and perhaps I missed it, but for the life of me I cannot figure out which of his videos this story was. Did he delete it? I know he does that from time to time.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks mates.

I tried to answer this in a philosophical way, but I ended up using more of physics and general science to answer this. If you are interested here it is.

This question reminded me of this community, and I wondered what you'd make of it.

I've been building a small experiment where strangers are grouped together around unusual conversation starters based on their interests.

Every now and then one comes out that feels more like speculative poetry.

This was one of them.

Happy Being Alive is Fucking Cool Day to all of my

fellow depression turtle fans!

I'm a few hours late with this my apologies.

I've been a follower of Exurb1a for the past 5 years or more, as much as I can vividly recollect.

​

I love making short films since my college days. I have friends who are into acting, writing & whatnot, so I'd love to adapt his videos into Live Action format(with due proper credit & mention of course). I've been thinking about it for a while.

​

I even emailed him hoping for a response to ask this question, but I guess he's inactive & doesn't check em much.

​

The second best option was our community, I believe if it would be right for such questions to be asked.

​

The first I'm hoping to adapt is 'The Ants', well, should I? Since its easy to film as well as meaningful at the same time.

I was then shot 45 times…

A bit more of a scientific take than a philosophical one, but I hope you enjoy

I find myself having to go back to “The Answer is Not a Hut in the Woods” because I am once again looking for a hut in the woods. In the past 3 years, these huts have been switching colleges, switching majors 6 times, taking a gap year, working at an escape room, working at a planetarium, working for a private investigator, working on a farm in the middle of nowhere, losing 50 pounds, getting hammered and waking up in strangers’ houses, getting into a relationship, getting broken up with over the phone, and my most recent one, applying to law school.

Despite all this, and despite my knowledge of the answer not being a hut in the woods, I still search for it. Maybe I need to rewatch the video to remind myself I’m searching for something that doesn’t exist, but maybe I just like the search. Who knows?

I've followed this youtuber for quite some time and he is like a not depressed version of Exurbia if he studied physics instead of Philosophy. The channel is named Cool worlds.

Here are two of his fictional video's
