soul is an abstract concept. a machine, depending of how it works, can very well have a soul.

I heard that dragons can exist because of their weight

Can’t wait till ai and the brain chip allow me to experience this in real life

❤❤ fun fact Vasuki indicus might just Be Your Dragon

I think AI will skip well past our level. It already, without consciousness, can process information faster than any human ever could. Consciousness is not needed. The only reason to try and program it would be curiously. We are conscious. Now imagine you being able to process more data then you have in your whole life in a single moment. Would you even be able to handle that? I think people fail to realize that consciousness is the last thing you need to worry about with AI. Them not having it makes them much more capable.

Can't a dragon just be humans from the past classifying dinosaurs as dragons. Like some Chinese painter saw a dinosaur with wings like a pterodactyl and go "lemme call it a dragon" and he drew a depiction of it. And infact they're the same thing. We just wanna believe that dinosaur bones we've found aren't dragon bones but dinosaur bones. You get me?

“The dimension BEHIND mirrors!!!” *The Sixth Dimension is not the dimension behind mirrors I love it. It’s like those science videos that feel the need to make it 120% clear that you couldn’t ACTUALLY fall into Jupiter without dying horribly.

as a biologist studying ethology and anthropology, this video really struck a chord. i was in adulthood, after a lifetime of dismissed mental health struggles and loneliness, diagnosed with autism, which helped me mentally deconstruct the ironic attempt of classification of people in our society as normal and as not; the perception of which plagues seemingly all of us, whichever category we generally belong to. as a anthropologist, i know that the truth is that we are all human; yet i am still battling to even accept who i was, who i am, seemingly comparing myself to the self that i am, and was, not. i have always seemed to understand and care more for animals, fictional or not, than the people around me do. of course i have met and learned of people who appear to share my infatuation, but none have characterised it and verbalised it in such a introspective way as you have in this video. i hope that the comments of people stating that this resonated with them reach you, because even though all our experiences differ, we are not alone in them.

Imagine doing that with a rock and no study material

20:42 They slayed the very oldest, the one who was the first Within the flowing blood - every giant was submerged These waters of decay would never cease to flow Creating every sea and every river that we know And while the giants drowned, the gods got the idea To take the corpse of Ymir and make the earth appear His body would become the soil, his skull became the sky And then they threw his giant brains aloft to form the clouds His teeth became the rocks, they made mountains from his bones And on the meadows through his hair the summer breeze was blown Out of the ashes and into the light The dead will make room for the living Deep in the darkest of nights The end is another beginning

If you ever want to become a mathematician, this type of thinking process and, in some way, "world view" would be extremely useful. To be honest, most pick this subject out of the need to understand not reality, but human reasoning. Set theory and propositional logic are the way to go.

I don’t know if this was the purpose of the video but it seems like a lot of the behaviors you’re describing are symptoms of autusm. Although I don’t have autism I can empathize because at many points in my development I exhibited the same behaviors. It has always made me wonder about the causes of autism and the nature of the spectrum. Growing up, I was also usually alone, but unlike kids with autism it wasn’t because of an inability to connect but because I was forced to move often, losing all of my friends and acquaintances each time. Throughout my life all I ever had to keep was myself, and I was the only one to keep me company. This manifested in a number of obsessions, but unlike children with Autism my obsessions were broad: I didn’t want knowledge of any particular subject but of everything. It’s taken me years to come to terms with my own truth. Years of searching and thinking and reflection have led me to a simple truth: the nature of the world evades even the simplest of understanding. We try to bring into conscious light the nature of creation but being humans we can only consciously perceive shadows, fractions, or angles of reality. All animals seem to have been built for a specific purpose biologically, their legs built for running, or swimming, clawing, jumping, but humans aren’t particularly good at anything, save for 2 things. For one, we are the only animal in the entire animal kingdom that chooses to stand and walk upright. This isn’t particularly efficient, or powerful, or fast, or advantageous in any way. All it allows us to do better is fall. The second is that humans have abnormally large, bulbous brains, that take up a lot of our resources. We have necks that crane strangely and aren’t very stiff, but they can look upwards, and maybe the least surprising of all, is that we’re the only animals in the entire animal kingdom that can freely look straight up. It seems that biologically, our only purpose is to stand on our hind legs like idiots that can be pushed over by a breeze and look up at the sky, wondering, imagining, and understanding, that we are one and the same.

This was a beautifully personal story that gives and gives to anyone that’s ever doubted themselves and who they were. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

Curious i know that you don't read comments on old videos however I heavily implore you to read the wings of fire series because it's one of very few almost entirely dragon-focused series that exist

Can anyone tell me why today closed caption doesnt work on any video and any device?

Legend says Dragons are based on Orca Skeletons.

My brother, you’re so gloriously on the spectrum. Love it

In Xenoblade only the original two titans, the Bionis and Mechonis, are gods. In Xenoblade 3 you do see parts of their (simulated) corpses, but for anyone who's played Xenoblade 2, whose (simulated) corpses you also find in Xenoblade 3, you know that the titans from that game are *SPOILERS* just the next evolutionary step of Blades, who give life to more Blades, and eventually die. In which case the video ends up being "what happens after a being that's really big in size compared to a human dies" Also, Xenoblade 1 takes place in more of a pocket dimension rather than "another universe" and Xenoblade 3 is more of a virtual simulation than the worlds being frozen. The thousands of years of history in Xenoblade 3 take place in one space of time, less than a second, the space between one microsecond to the next, within a simulation. Or at least, that's the only way Takahashi is keen on describing it until the future games come out.

At the beginning of the video hearing the first three notes, even if they weren't in the right key, made me think of Xenoblade 2's music that plays for the first and only time when you arrive at Elysium, which made me surprised when I later heard Xenoblade 1's title music at 14:56

It's stylized art, not realistic...

Worked on a submarine and the looming fear people get is similar to astronauts, between you and a 50-100mm layer of metal is impending death that you have no chance of survival, every creak puts you on edge and depression/anxiety rates skyrocket on longer dives

that thumbnail is so goofy and impossible

If it walks like a duck, looks like a duct, quacks like a duck.... It reaches a point where It becomes academic weather or not it is or not, an actual duck. And not treating it as such, becomes the outlier.

This video is relatable and I don't like it

So we just have autism

I also had the dragonology book as a child, and i was obsessed, this really took me back

Inaccurate but fascinating. Realism often kills art.

I was obsessef with Dragonology!!

It really was the dark ages

When you brought up that Dragonology book, I had to go find mine. And man, the memories it brought back, thank you.

But modern art is accurate? Contemporary art is the worst!

As someone who hyperfixates and finds it difficult to talk about thijgs outside of it sometimes (as well as being quite a socially anxious person, especially when sober) i related to this soooooo much

Can you cook it?

The Fresno Night Crawler is pants that haven't been washed in so long they had to take themselves to the laundry

I think the answer is pretty simple. Dinosaur skeletons have been discovered in ancient times by older civilizations across the globe. Most of These civilizations would also have hunted or eaten birds and been familiar with the skeletal structure of birds. Now imagine you find a giant dinosaur skeleton and you see the similarities with birds in some of their skeletal structure. Well, you’d note that the face is more like a lizard, but that the bipedal dinosaurs would have had similar arm structure as birds. So in that case they would and did interpret that as flying lizards basically, ie dragons. The idea of ancient humans finding terrifying giant dinosaur bones and what they thought about that is much more exciting to me than the idea of Dragons 😂 the actual reality is always more fascinating, it’s simply a matter of knowledge and perspective that reveals its magic to you.

It’s nice to know someone else experienced the same feelings, even with the same exact media.

I use to not understand why people miss their childhood, I mean we're bogger now, and our fate and lives are our own, but since eatching this video, I feel what prople mean now. I was just like you and that Dungeon Mushi protagonist when it cones to understanding people, so i retreated to the realm of Cosmic Horror. I had the same obsession with the Cthulhu mythos as a kid that you did with dragons. I even made my own creature book! Connecting it all to modern religions and archeology. I was somewhat lucky to not have full access to the Internet, as it kept my mind in a state of mystery. It was an interesting time. Thanks for reminding me 😊

This video hits in all of the right ways

One thing is certain in this universe: *DRAGONS ARE COOL* I as well have been obsessed with dragons since I was a kid and it honestly helped me to become the artist I am now. ALSO HOLY CRAP WAS THIS THE MOST RELATABLE VIDEO I HAVE EVER WATCHED!

Bit risky using the dragon music from the Zelda games

how about just 116 blurry closeups of my face

I have a bit of cosmophobia why am I watching this at 2AM

Dammit, why'd you have to remind me of the dog. Now I'm sad again.

We relate more to monsters than we do to men

thinks about an ostrich* draws the most generic goofy ahh bird 😂

If you want to see a dragon in real life, look no further than sea horses.

I had that same book as a child, all the pop outs and stuff. Literally the thing that drove me to D&D among many other medieval fantasy verses.

This remind me of the game Morrowind where in Ald'ruhn, the Dark Elven province, is built from the foundation of the carcass of Skar, the Emperor Crab of legend

I think it’s called being neurodivergent and having a special interest
