- 0:22the strange lushly coated wet rock
- 0:24floating in its designated position of
- 0:27endless nothing this rock you are on
- 0:29it's tiny and you are tiny compared to
- 0:32this rock if we zoom out a little bit
- 0:34look how tiny you are even further
- 0:36tinier you're so tiny
- 0:39you're even tiny your brain can't
- 0:41comprehend how tiny you are your tiny
- 0:43self is posted up on this tiny rock
- 0:45surrounded by this dark massive unending
- 0:47space that could be anything and nothing
- 0:49at the same time this rock will give you
- 0:51life it will give you everything you
- 0:53need to live on its crust for a period
- 0:54of time it might feel like a while or it
- 0:57might feel like no time at all depending
- 0:59on what mood you're in when you consider
- 1:00this idea regardless of how it feels to
- 1:02you when compared to almost everything
- 1:04else it will be so so short a single
- 1:07frame in a movie that never ends a frame
- 1:10that could be removed and nothing would
- 1:11really change about the movie in this
- 1:13frame you will live on this rock then
- 1:15you will die and you'll have no idea
- 1:17what happened
- 1:18no one will if you're really lucky
- 1:20you'll have some friends and family and
- 1:22lovers who will be sad for a little
- 1:23while they'll miss you but they'll try
- 1:25really hard not to because being sad and
- 1:27missing someone all the time it's really
- 1:29tiresome it'll mess up their lives so
- 1:31they'll try to work through it and move
- 1:33on as best they can they might go to
- 1:34therapy they might practice techniques
- 1:36to get through grieving they'll probably
- 1:38be somewhat successful they will also
- 1:40die if you're even more unusually lucky
- 1:42you'll be missed and remembered for a
- 1:44little bit longer by a few more people
- 1:45perhaps you did something that impacted
- 1:47more people while you lived on this rock
- 1:49perhaps you were profoundly artistic or
- 1:51smart or a leader or an inventor when
- 1:53you die perhaps more people will be sad
- 1:55for a little longer stretch of time most
- 1:57of these people would have never really
- 1:59known you though so they won't think
- 2:00about you too much for too long either
- 2:02and when they do it'll mostly be a
- 2:04misconstruction of you based on their
- 2:05own ideals they will all die over time
- 2:08every person every memory of a person
- 2:10will all die with each other
- 2:12won't matter to you to mean to anyone
- 2:14we'll all be dead the things you did the
- 2:16words you said the impacts you made for
- 2:18good or for bad big or small they will
- 2:20all lose your nametag and will not
- 2:22matter to anyone or anything so whatever
