Who are we and what is everything
[Music]
i’m going to be talking about questions
curiosity and answers you know what
would happen if we did or didn’t have
them
it’s going to be slightly more chaotic
so try and keep up
you know i think we’ve all asked
questions it’s part of our daily lives
it’s a part of our routine about how
about a maths question what do i do
or anything that just revolves around us
you know as humans we think we’re
powerful we’re special i mean everything
around us is built for us not for
anything else
but for us and
you know questions have helped us grow
so much as humans 2
000 years ago we wouldn’t we wouldn’t be
here you know
and it’s because of things we wanted we
wanted to do more we wanted to know more
that’s helped us be where we are here
today
you know a simple question like what are
we
who what is our purpose can go such a
long way it’s like
putting a key into a door and on the
other side
it’s an answer now i don’t know if i
want those answers though because
for example let’s say after death right
we unlock those answers
we know that everything around us let’s
say would be a simulation
how would i react how would we react i
mean we would go into a state of panic
it’s like telling someone
48 hours to live good luck i mean i’d be
scared you know
though when it tends in 48 hours to be
perfectly honest
my brain would try to find a way around
it maybe you know find a way i can
survive
or something to do with it it’s natural
it’s our instinct it’s our
survival instincts and so and so
you know i wouldn’t like to be panicked
over
a simple thing that i’ve discovered and
it’ll bother my head all the time i
don’t want that
i don’t want to be out under constant
pressure
that this is what i am i have to face
the truth and maybe i don’t want that
and maybe other people don’t want that
and so
why do i need questions and answers why
do i need to ask questions am i trying
to
compensate for something is what i have
not good enough and let’s say i do ask
these questions
but what if they’re the wrong ones what
if i’ve got everything wrong what if
we’ve got everything wrong you know
animals they live a simplistic life
eat drink sleep mate and
we do more than that we build look we’ve
built buildings technology we can go to
space
we couldn’t do that a long time ago but
now we can
and that’s what’s important and so
we can do that now and
and now we can do that and it’s it’s
mind-blowing
but i don’t necessarily like if we
didn’t have those questions and answers
we’d probably be cavemen we’d be back in
the past
but is that necessarily a bad thing we
were doing pretty well i mean we’ve
evolved and now we’ve got in here
but i wouldn’t say it’s a bad thing not
having them you know
i’d like to have them maybe and also it
gives you a sense of being a god it
gives you power
you know having knowledge over when
people don’t have this and
i would have it but do i want this power
you know do i need to feel
powerful isn’t what i have enough i’m
enough
i i can live my day without these but at
the same time they just keep bothering
me
and they bother me and bother me and i
don’t know what to do about it
because to face the facts i probably
won’t know if
everything around us is a simulation
probably never will
and maybe none of us will maybe the
government knows these questions
but they’re holding it like they don’t
tell us these for a reason
maybe our brain know thee knows the
answers
but they it doesn’t tell us maybe it’s a
good thing i mean and if we had these
answers maybe we’d be like 3 000 years
in the future
flying cars being able to live on a new
planet who knows but like
isn’t what i have good enough i have
food water shelter
what why do i need more why do i feel
the need
to want to know more i don’t know
simply simple as it is so maybe
as if i had an answer let’s say
something that wouldn’t completely
destroy me as
i don’t know what is space you know if
you think about it is it a box does it
end is it
blackness who knows scientists don’t
know how am i supposed to know
but if i knew that that’d be pretty cool
i don’t need to know if i’m in a
simulation i don’t need to know that
and wouldn’t really like to know it but
there’s other things i’d like to know
and having these answers has helped us
be where we are here today
it’s important and so we need to be able
to
appreciate that our mind wants more
it we need to feed it not just physical
food but also questions and
knowing more so
a new world maybe could be created with
all the questions we’ve had you know if
we answer everything
maybe we wouldn’t be torn apart like i
said about giving a certain
a person a certain amount of time to
live what if it’s actually so beneficial
for us
we want this and it would help us but we
can’t know this because that itself is
another question
questions are also something we’ve
created if we’re doing this all wrong
how do we fix it that’s another question
do we need to fix it
and so i probably never will know the
answer to these questions
maybe that’s a bad thing maybe it’s not
but all i know is curiosity is a good
thing
maybe it’s what makes us humans maybe
it’s what makes us us
and that’s important thank you
you
