- If motivation is to have any merit, it should likely attempt to be as honest as possible.

"We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever."
Life becomes much more intresting when we get rid of the idea of meaning. We would find beauty in randomness of existence.
When life is full of meaningless, Pursuit of Wonder Videos gives a small sense meaning
"Because the universe, for some reason, gave us a blank page to write on"
The way Pursuit of Wonder makes me have an existential crisis weirdly somehow makes me have motivation to continue living life
“I now know why we die; death gives us the opportunity to know what life is all about. And when you find that out, you laugh yourself silly”
"It is an ironic habit of human beings to run faster when they have lost their way".
Pursuit of Wonder:
"If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere."
"Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough."
The universe gave us a blank page to write on - Persuit of wonder
After listening to alan watts so much I now hear the word beautiful instead of meaningless when he says that life is meaningless. I used to see life being meaningless as an issue but now I think it's the best possible way for life to be; if you weren't born to fulfill something then there's no wrong answer, you can never wake up one day when you're 50 and say "my god, I've done it all wrong" because if there is no right answer then there cannot be a wrong one. So why not make your own meaning? Or maybe just enjoy the moment and what is. Why try to make sense of being a talking space monkey on a rotating rock when you could instead find other talking space moneys to laugh with and feel good together.
I absolutely love how well your speaking style conveys what you want to say, it is perfectly blunt and truthful. I've always found comfort in the realism of your videos.
Your videos depress me, but like in a optimistic way.
Maybe at the end of human species we're just a big lump of fertilizer.
We are all just watching a great movie unfold in front us and we, the self is far too close to the screen.
Optimistic Nihilism: find the meaning through the meaningless.
These videos have a weird way of giving me an existential crisis and yet internal peace at the same time
hey folks, here we go again.
