The part where they mention "Simulated virtual" universes. Thats what we are in right now IMHO, This is all a simulation.

I can see how this could cause anxiety, but it depends on your perspective. You could also gain a sort of peace, knowing that all matter and energy will one day return to it's original state, or become a new universe entirely. Either way, I choose to focus on the life that I've been given, and the relationships and experiences that I have right now.

Anyways, super interesting video, thanks for sharing!

After viewing, for your reading pleasure.

I wonder if having kids changes this. Now you've MADE a useless being, is there a sense of usefulness in it?

Yes. I guesstimate my existential crises are reduced by at least 20%.

It's that serious eh?

Maybe you can have a doctor look at that. Amputate the kids and get you back to "normal".

Most parents will tell you it does.

Always. Lose the existential angst and embrace your ephemeral Zen nature!

Not a huge deal, but stuff like this should maybe be posted in /s/whatever if you just want to show cool stuff to the saidit community

/s/saidit is specifically for stuff about the website itself, like announcements or discussion about saidit. You don't need to remove it or anything, but I just wanted you to know for the future. Thanks!

How dare you assume I will comply with your rules! You don't know me.

I was thinking the same thing, but in /s/space.

Best documentary I've seen in ages!

Only watched the intro but they glued me to the screen. Gonna watch this one later.

I have only one tiny bone to pick. Our sun is 4.5 billion years old in a 13.8 billion year old Universe and in another 5 billion years our sun will become a red giant. They showed the water being blasted off Earth but they didn't mention that the scale of our now little yellow sun in the sky would balloon to be a red giant that would expand to engulf our Earth orbit (but not Mars). That's so insanely abstractly huge it's near impossible to fathom. IMO they should have included a vast sense of scale more.

The producers, Protocol Labs is the team bringing you the 5 interrelated systems, including most famously IPFS and Filecoin. (To be honest, I love this docu, but don't understand why Protocol Labs produced it, other than as promotion.)

Wikipedia censors articles to give you less information, so here is an expanded variant : https://InfoGalactic.com/info/InterPlanetary_File_System
