14:52 I heard this story somewhere on the internet of a young person, who I think worked at some kind of retirement home, who was talking to a very elderly woman. The old woman asked the poster something like “do adults tell you about time before the internet, and how it’s dangerous? And how they didn’t have it back in their day?” The original poster, of course, responded yes. The old lady then responded with “that’s what my parents told me about electricity.” That may be my favourite example of these “illusions of time”. Me, writing this message on a computer that can fit in my pocket, could talk to someone who didn’t even have lightbulbs as a child.

To be fair, electricity universally expanded productivity. Most of our population is spending more than half of their free time hopelessly addicted to a dopamine button. People are still playing cause and effect on why society's overall intelligence is declining but... clearly occupying half our mental energy with Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and KZread (a process that puts people in a dopamine deficit for the rest of the day which is directly tied to depleted motivation) is going to impact participation in challenging activities. "Electricity is the Devil" and "I am physically incapable of stopping myself from picking up my phone to check for notifications every 90 seconds"...

Joy and laughter are some of the most human emotions as it separates our lives from being bleak, meaningless and overall apathetic to instead hopeful and longing for the next smile/laugh.

I've found that smell can give really really vivid memories, like walking past someone and being able to smell that they wear the same perfume as a girl you used to go out with years ago, or smelling a clinical, hospital smell years after a grandparent or family member was in hospital, it puts you right back in that moment, and you smell it and instantly go "that's the smell from this place and this time"

Thats exactly what was going through my mind also, god damn we need vsauce now more than ever.

I just realized, in the time travel segment of the video, if people in the past viewed their present as a continuation of their past, then that explains why they had a tendency to scrap things that we today would've tried to desperately preserve in a museum, so many old locomotives, tanks, and cars were never preserved other than by photograph, and I always wondered why that was, but now that I understand their worldview on the present, it makes sense now that actively preserving the past is as recent of a trend as it. thank you Michael, you open my eyes to so many things I had only wondered about in passing

Protagonist syndrome is real. I remember asking my mom when I was seven or eight, "There's got to be only one *me* in the world, right?" referring to myself. Because I could only feel my own emotions and experiences and no one else's, I couldn't quite grasp at the time that other people also had subjective experiences.

When I first tried VRChat I felt a strange sensation. Unlike the Internet VR gives presence: the feeling being in some space, a virtual space. And when you realise you share the space with people that live in actual reality far far far away from you, like thousand miles, it blows your mind. At least it does to mine. It's like finally experience what singularity does really mean, when a distance does not matter. But the time is not yet broken.

Part of the reason songs from the 90s don’t seem as old to us is because by the 90s recordings became so clear and well balanced they don’t sound (like they were recorded) much different than those of today. The recordings in the 60s sounded sounded very different from those in the 90s because the technology was so primitive.

I am in a room. It is dark. I am tied to a chair and my hands are bound with rope. A small light flickers above me. I am hungry. When was the last time I ate? The small doorknob in the corner begins to twist. A door opens; my eyes flick up to meet him. It is none other than Michael Stevens, the host and owner Vsauce. I fill up with questions? Words clog my throat, thickening like honey, and as they smooth out and start to pour the words none can even come past my lips- Michael cuts me off. “I’ll be the one asking the questions.” He goes out of view, “where did he go?”, I wonder. There was a flash in front of me, revealing his face once more. He greeted me. “Hey Vsauce Michael here” my eyes wander and I become Starstruck, for right in front of me was Michael Stevens shirtless. He caressed my neckbeard slowly, he started rambling on. “Where are your fingers?” Sharpening his knife in a good ol’ pencil sharpener. He walks over to me, takes one look and says. “This is easier shirtless because dry cleaners ask questions about stains.” He starts tearing into my left thumb. Slowly chopping down, onto each finger. I was sweating so much that the aroma last nights Taco Bell was starting to fill the room. Unphased he says “Ya toes, hand ‘em over.” I stare into his eyes as he stares into mine. My eyes are filled with pleas for help, and his: lust. A lust which could not be satisfied by normal means. He demanded my toes again, but that were not satisfactory, for he wanted more. I had to get out, but I wanted to know more. My lust for knowledge grows ever greater with each passing second. Why was he doing this? Or rather why to me? I felt so helpless. I felt like I had been left alone in a sea or words, none of which I understand. Perhaps I had gotten lucky, being his choice, being chosen. I don’t know, maybe I’m just the crazy one. I stared where my toes once were. I guess he took them, my toes. I had handed them over, what else could he want? “I will now ask the question, What makes us ask questions?” He knew my question, for he had known it from the start.

There's a 2014-born girl who I know personally. She entered the world a few short months after "Frozen" hit theaters. Even now, at age 18, I find it strange that I watched Frozen in theaters when I was a kid. In other words, I saw it in theaters when I was exactly her age.

Teenagers now could feasibly sit in their room wearing heelies, listening to early Linkin Park music on an iPod Shuffle while they text friends from a refurbished flip phone, saying they feel like they were born in the wrong decade, and that concept genuinely scares me, since I did the same with spiked hair, Daft Punk on a walkman, and a landline phone, wishing I was born in the 1980's.

Insane how Micheal has been on the scene for ages and yet he is the one that does not change and pretty much nobody cares. Videos nowadays are flashy and fast, but Micheal is just same. Pure talent.

My sense of time is so fundamentally broken that this feels like a geometry lesson. Powerful hallucinogens can give you the impression of millennia in sequence, watching civilisations rise and fall. It's hard to keep track of what day or time it is - hard to remember ages, because I see people as a temporal spectrum constantly being re-expressed through a singular point, on a path that looks linear from the perspective of its own movement but is constantly forking out into various possibilities then collapsing into physical realities from an external view - more akin to a crystalline matrix than a straight line.

@hieronymusbutts7349

8 ай бұрын

This doesn't mean that because there are infinite possibilities that there is a timeline in which you live forever - infinite numbers between 0 and 1 does not allow for a 2. As you age, the number of possibilities first increases and then decreases, until all timelines end with your perceptive existence of them (i.e. you die and your body ceases to act as a function of measurement to create time as a comparison of physical states between iterations of possibility [quantum state] and reality [how the quantum state collapses into a particular physical state])

I remember sitting down to watch this video thinking "wow, a half hour?", and then, just like that Michael is saying "and as always. Thanks for watching". Yeah, time is strange.

I work in a nursing home, I often see elderly people old photos, some look old in black and white or yellow, others tho look so recent, the quality of the pictures look like the ones we have today but then I see my elderly patient when they were younger and it confuses me so much, like a saw a pic of my 94 years old patient in the 60’s she was dressed like in the 60’s movies with the hairstyle and everything, but the picture looked so recent kind of looked like a costume almost. I love looking at their photos and see how they lived, the black and ones convey the time frame but the good quality colored pictures are mind boggling, like what do you mean this pic was taken in the late 60’s?!? And how you were already old back then and still here today?!? Like how does it feel being alive so long?

The return of the king.

S o true

Yesterday, my mom and I were driving through the neighborhood in which I was raised, and she remarked about the state of the roads and how in the world they seemed so unmanaged. It occurred to me that when my parents moved into the house I grew up in, it was 1974...almost fifty years ago now. It occurred to me immediately afterward that when I and my friends were riding our bikes on those roads (seemingly all day, every day) during the '80s, the same amount of time prior to that would've been the 1930s...before either of my parents were even born, and thus not unlike the very-rundown streets I knew near my grandmother's house. And that is ULTRA weird to think about, for some reason.

5:50 I like how that sort of implies that if you were stuck, immortal, in a 1000 year time gaol and you where conscious the entire time, the moment you got out and started experiencing things again, it would bee like a 1000 year time skip - you would think you where trapped for maybe a year? Maybe a couple months?

Im in 8th grade. I was in 4th when covid 19 started. And looking back 4th grade was the only year i did the worst in. I was just too emotionally distracted with friendships. But then in 5th when we were able to go back to school everything changed. Nothing significant ever happened in grade 5, 6, 7. But looking back on all years before 4th is so full and i can remember so many vivid memories from then. This is why the fact that the amount of time between grade 8 and 4 is the same as 4 and kindergarten blows my mind so much. Because nothing happened in 2020 and beyond. THIS is why i default to counting years only up to 2020

God that made me feel old.

23:40 Worth mentioning here. An invaluable point which should be made, is that this desire to accelerate so we can 'keep up' and not be 'left behind' actually leaves us behind more than ever before. This is because the rate to which things change goes so fast that while we age we cannot help being excluded from all that's 'new' and 'happening'. This means that thousands of years ago, before the concept of "the past" as you mention, those people who were alive for their whole lives likely never felt 'left behind'. So really, we are leaving ourselves behind in a counter-intuitive effort to 'keep up'.

The last three segments starting from chrono saunder, scared me. I understood it too well. I thought there’s something wrong with me. I also thought i was the only one in my family to have this perspective. Until i found this video. From my experience realistically, time flys when you’re filling up space in isolation or your perception that it went by quick because too much has happened in that period of time. When you count the years let’s say 2017 to 2023. Wow that’s old already once you count the years. Wow the video i’m commenting on right now is already 2 years ago. When you feel time flys, that’s you reflecting on how much has changed. Therefore, giving you that illusion that the older you are it feels as if you know everything too well about understanding things that it becomes boring. As a child i didn’t knew much about the world. So i still remember things vividly from an adult brain, but barely from remembering back when i was 5-8 years old. As i had a conversation with my sister of what i remember when i was little lol. But these memories they were abstract and small details. I notice as an adult, it’s harder to remember things recently like a month ago or even yesterday lol. What i notice about time? When i had yard work at the new house. It was insane labor and we dug holes to fill them up with concrete. To make a patio and a deck for our backyard. That whole entire day felt long and i enjoyed staying there at the new house. But i notice something that scares me. When you fill up time with contemporary distractions. You get the illusion that social media or technology makes it seem like time flies or when you watch an old video it feels and looks old as heck. Not until they smile or it brings colors. Then it feels timeless. Me (22) “i remember in Feb 2019 i went camping with my family!”Someone i had a conversation with, (15) “wow that’s old i bet it was fun” Me: “To me that’s not old but for you yes because you were younger.” The perspectives with age are different. perceiving time with numbers of it feeling not that long ago. My experience and takeaway, don’t use social media too much. Do a lot of work or something productive. Time goes by slow that way. And lastly, live in the present. Everything you do will be nostalgia in the future. If you found this thanks for reading btw. Just my experience.

Meh... Not really... I have always thought of time as the clock only to see which hour and minute I am on the day. After that, just let things happen and see where you end up. It is the most basic meaning to "live in the moment" and doesn't need to be more complicated than that. :) We all know that the "concept of time" is merely an illusion, it is a man-made thing. But do you think that wild animals, and the people who lived before this concept was concieved thought about it? No - they trusted their instincts and adapted, there's really no need to lose your brains over it.

The idea of linking number of notable events to our perception of time makes a lot of sense to me. I use to notice that older black and white movies seemed longer to me, even though their run times were the same. Looking at it closer I noticed shorter scenes in the older films (this is of course not universally true but for the movies I looked at it was) Shorter scenes translated into more notable events throughout the film. Hence why (maybe) they seemed longer...

Through the use of psychadelics, I found that the speed of time can be manipulated through frequency of thought, a clear mind allows for easier immersion into the moment, where time is a figment but the scale and speed at which its progressing feels absent, its a very eternal feeling. Comparitively, being stuck in your head, constantly thinking about the past or future can inhibit this feeling of sub conscious hibernation, even though you still feel present, your perception of time seemingly slips by you. This especially reigns true when you medicate this with time killing activities like video games or scrolling on the phone for a few hours.

I know it’s stressful for people who adore you to yell “MORE” but we do need you. Your mind, voice and ability to capture even a fraction of it’s processing is absolutely beautiful . *Thank you for being, Michael*. I hope you continue to create.
