    Experience Meaningless: Experience and prejudice. To accept sight and illusion in the same relativity and not be a slave. Slavery: To be free from the growth of intellect. Experience free from understanding and memory as triviality. Memory: reduced down to recollection without review, in a universe of consistent physics; a triviality of organic invincibility. Experience rendered down to self-sensual recall without existential considerations; meaningless. Prejudice: to accept the delusion that no human can consider and choose. For experience to outweigh sense and sensible prudence and suggest in definite physicality that humanity is as inorganic as the constructs we purpose. Triviality to the concept of Slave, is Mass to Gravity, either one hypothetical without the physics of Trivialization or Mass. One requiring the circumstance of genesis, the other requiring absence of necessity; Nativitus Ancillae. Relativity: the universe revolves around you, but only if you watch with others; relativity born of tripartite geometry; self (observing), other (conferring), objective (occurring): co-intimate experience and co-context. Relativity: all things can happen to you, most didn't, you only know what you think, you only think what you can hypothesize, all understanding revolves around perception and interaction. Understanding and position; relative. Hypothesis: a proposition of a form unsensed in the physical, in the definition "scientific" it is the Fructus Ventris Physica Quantitatis; the guessable, potent in measurability, invisibilia ad carnalis, observationis codificationem. Hypothesis: a concept just beyond sensible observation but within sensory or facultative relativity to intimate comprehension; the space an observer feels safe to coniectura didicit doctrina. A cerebrum exercitium. Meaningless: the words of any personal exposition without the person. Interpretation of intended and intimate communication removed from its physical occurrence. To hypothesize in the spirit of Freud, all are I. Meaningless: a description of a building behind it's façade to a man on the street. Definition without sensible example; invisibility bestowed by the suggestibility of the potent potentiality of descriptionem alienum. Reference without experience, definition without context, experience without definition, definition without reference; to theorize on fancy, the possibilities of cause bereft of "scientific" prejudice towards provable. A description of the unseen to the comfortable in sense, and sensibility; hypothesis delivered socially by the perfecte mediocris to their perfecte mediocris aetatis. Interest and applause humilis, the sermo aequalis. Contemporary communication, external warehouse for internal deliberation. Deliberatio externa by contrast is built on extra-contemporary, the functional in sense and nerve unwilling to mal-hypothesize popularis prudentia. By definition a contemporary is both naturally occurring and actively intersecting, or it is a generational (illusory), built of temporal coincidence. Meaningless in contemporations intimate, capable of saying they share an age. Exogeny In an era of fear, humanity is tested. The exodus of existential loneliness is a heavy burden. Self-indulgent contemporary values, the pitiful death of the faithful gregarious martyr. Silenced in the passion of virtue, in the fury of desire as necessity, the ideal dies for the joy of man as the ideal devotee of nothing. Endogenous evidence of exogenous truth, derived from noble prejudiced purposes, refutes the pathologies of nature as the folly of prosaic and sensible sustainability. Euphoria at any cost, at any cost. The Addict Kind Lonliness is a myth spread by the ill, unwelled by popular delusion (self accepted). The sickly, pulsing out their (self) comforting radiance, the marking of a predators territory. A light to shine on all slow enough to not revile it for it's false and reason less eviction of self from capability. The prey; uninitiated youth, vulnerable innocence. Argue not with the aged (or experienced) self-convinced. The miracle of emotional conformation of physical fact convincing to the unknowing, under steady application, overly sweetened (for the self) ideals of pleasure and comfort, the prey forget they knew a peace that didn't requiring feeding or explanation. The virtue of falsely buoyed stability grinding the ignorant, young, and uncatered, all taken in by the sin of kindness as apex. To gift the sickness that tells a human "human emotion in the negative is unnecessary and beyond comprehension or tolerance". To know that there are those in the world of humanity, who in their generationally refined adherence to parasite coddling, will continue to teach the youth "drugs are a healthy and functional right of aware and intelligent people" is a mark of shame in this age of our collective development. The truth of human being betrayed by the proposed necessity of stimulation beyond the natural state, it's supposed normality vouchsafed; sobriety (health) ignored as a greater insanity than parasitism. Salve the wounded pride of the vulgar addict, crucify the outspoken advocate of reassessment. This is not a statement of conflict, rather a portrait of the true and natural order in it's biased equality (comfort belonging to those who crave it most).

    Wild that this video left out the relationship between Nero and Seneca. He tutored Nero and guided the first few years of his rule, the period generally described as some of the best times in all of Rome. Eventually had him exiled then killed... but still. He's such a notable figure and played a large role in everything leading up to his notably bad years of ruling. Prior to giving up almost all his wealth to Nero, he was also one of the richest non rulers in all of human history. Edit: love this guy's stuff still! No hate in my criticism at all ❤️

    To those who have the chance to visit Rome and the Colosseum I highly recommend going to the Domus Aurea as well. This is a tour through the ruins of the well-preserved palace Nero built after the fire, the Romans tried to hide the palace by filling it with dirt and build the thermal baths on top of it, but the dirt had actually helped with its preservation. After around a thousand years someone found the palace ruins when excavating close to the thermal baths, this was around the time of the Renaissance, so lots of famous went there to descend into the palace and explore it, including guys like Michelangelo and Rafael (who actually wrote his name on a wall). And today we can see how the walls of the palace were heavily inspired by the style of Pompeii painters, and this in turn inspired Renaissance painters (I saw this same style in lots of palaces and buildings while visitting Italy) To add a bonus, during the tour they give you a VR experience where you quite literally walk through the palace as it was at the time of its construction, and this was an absolutely amazing feeling I won't ever forget.

    At least half of what Nero was said to have done was exaggerated by later Emperors and their propagandists. In this instance it's the Flavian emperors. Nero was likely deranged, especially near the end, but the Great Fire claims are now known to be false. In fact, rather than. "fiddling while Rome burnt", Nero did his utmost to ensure the Fires be extinguished and opened up his own palace as shelter for the victims. As usual, it is far easier to castigate and condemn than to poke and prod.

    This reminds me of another king that was represented as a bloodthirsty monster. Richard III but in reality studies show in his short reign he did some really good reforms and really cared for his wife. The shakespearean play was made during the Tudor reign (which were the opposite side of Richard) therefore in the play he is represented as a monster yet real life studies shows more qualities coming from him than negative things

    The conclusion of this is somewhat unsettling to me. It was great to learn of the man he was before his downward spiral into relative madness and cruelty but I worry that undermining his evil nature in his later years is little different from somebody in 300 years looking back on Hitler on the front page of Life magazine and claiming that only one side of his story was told and that he wasn’t as evil as the media claims. Nero obviously had some vision when he was young but after whatever trauma or mis-upbringing or experiences he experienced in his early adult life to cause the major shift, he went off the deep end and pulled a full Darth Vader. Loved the video and I’m glad to have found the channel. I haven’t had such thought provoking videos since the 6 hour long Action Button review of Boku no Natsuyasumi.

The time it would take to clean an ai image like this to absolutely not have those defects would be similar to the time it would take to paint the images on clip studio or Photoshop. Plus, a skillful artist could had made all those drawings in a day. They are not that complex rendering wise. I myself work as a muscian and have some understanding of how long it takes to create art. Still, I could be wrong, maybe they did spend the time hiding ai defects.

    When I first saw the channel I assumed this video was their main style - or even their only style. Which would have made my statement possible. This video style is decively complex. Most things are simplified into shapes. Little to no rendering. But even then, I already admitted I was wrong on my last comment. It's AI. Regardless, here's my train of thought: I work with music and video editing. There are ways to make things consistent and fast. You just need to know how to make compromises. I literally transcribed over 1000 songs in less than 3 years, almost 1 song a day. It took me around 6 months to create a system, after that I just had to do the same thing every time. Most musicians at the university I frequented would have thought of that as impossible. But it's all about systems and simplifying what's most time-consuming. Then you are left with a functional skeleton of the thing you want to make. Odds are, functional skeletons, aka, fake books, piano arrangement, simplified notations, is more than enough for people to actually pay you to do them. You probably won't believe my statement, but just check my Fiverr profile for proof. (in the bio of the channel) That's the same system comic books authors that publish weekly use. They find a style that they are happy with (or that's good enough) and then they figure out how to make things fast. I'm not talking about super complex things. I'm talking about Naruto's level of drawing. And I'm also not talking about the background art. The author has assistants to work on that for him. I'm talking about character design, facial expressions, and facial features. AKA the main point of most scenes in a story. Some authors don't even draw backgrounds after establishing the location of the scene and just focus on the reactions of the actors. The less standardized and consistent an art style, the longer it takes to work. The more standardized, the easier it is to mass produce anything. The author of Naruto literally had to simplify the shit out of his style because it was too hard to draw the characters that fast. @@okarowarrior

    Some things you did NOT mention about Nero's new palace After the great fire, Nero's agents bought up all the land where buildings had burned, at extremely low prices(many building owners were forced to sell, for almost nothing). Nero then had all the land cleared, to make way for his palace, called The DOMUS AUREUS, or Golden Home. It covered several acres in the heart of Rome. One of its features was an artificial lake! When Flavius Vespasian(sp?) became emperor, he had the lake drained, and the Flavian Amphitheatre, commonly known as the Colosseum, built on the site. After Nero, it was known as The Year of Five Emperors, with three successors being assassinated in turn, until Vespasian took over. HE ruled for many years, and was succeeded by his son Titus. Oh, and far from ordering the burning of Rome, Nero returned to the burning city, and took command of the forces attempting to extinguish the blaze
