I now know the difference between "sentient" and "sapient". Also, why do I talk so fast during the Killer Folk segment? What was I going for? I have no idea, but please keep the laughter to a minimum🤦♂️ Thank you for your support. www.buymeacoffee.com/bewarethequ Become a member to get access to these custom emojis and receive a shoutout at the end of each video!

@@abdullahtariq2032 havebt you seen my picture in my profile? Look at me, I got soy in my blood and judging by how fat I am, I'm also murican so everyone blames me for nuking our original world when the aliens invaded
2.5 hours of all tomorrows?!?!?! It's 3:30pm now, and I'm done with work at 6pm, so this will get me through to the end! Thanks for the compilation Qu!
An hour left at work, and an hour left on the video!! Got the notification at the perfect time! Works been dead slow. So I've just been watching this! Lol
@@borgurman- The scariest part is that the Qu didn’t even use the Colonials as bricks, but rather as living sewage treatment filters. I can’t imagine a more horrific existence! Life as a brick would be a step UP from that!!
Ever heard of a book called God's Demon? In it some of the least fortunate souls of the damned are also made into sentient flesh bricks used as building materials for roads and stairs and such.
I do love that the sauro species was completely accepted and treated as equals and equally human. The rest of the second empire alliance had to be aware that their star people cousins had become transportation, pack and work animals and food for the lizards. I admire the rest of future humanity deciding that you don't have to be genetically human to be human and treated with humanity. That genetics aren't the primary factor for being human
Love your content and the documentary nature of your scripts. Very well done. It's very nice to see the improvement of your work as the years go on. Thank you for getting me into spec evo art and lit. And happy new years, Qu.
You have to ponder something, about that dinosaur fossil. It is entirely possible that the dinosaurs were another species that had suffered the same fate, modified and scattered. By that reasoning, the star people were just one of what they evolved into, after they gained sentience. The saga of humanity may have started long before they ever knew, millions of years wiped away
But with that logic there would be more than one fossil in different locations. They only reason they came to that conclusion because they found carbon fossil in a place with copper based life forms inhabited.
Thank you for everything you do for this community Qu! You're really the reason I got into speculative evolution and similar forms of Sci Fi, and now I get to force it on allll my friends. The best part is, there's plenty of content to explore thanks to you. Keep up the awesome work man.
You said not to expect too much but even as someone whose watched you’re channel and all the all tomorrows videos. Having this chronological video is amazing!
Haven't watched your videos in a very long time and couldnt find your channel due to name change but saw the "Beware" and figured it was you! Your lore and biology videos on All tomorrow's was something that I've always remembered, its really cool to think about different forms of life and ways it would live choices theyd make. After watching these and playing games like stellaris just makes you think about all the different amazing stories you could make and have if you focused on every individual species. Just so much, so vast. Anyways, thanks for the amazing content!
Not come that far yet. But kinda lookingforward to hear it now 😋 Keep it up Mr Qu. I kinda like the background track you use when talk about the Qu them self. They are the main antagonists so imo deserved a dark but also well chosen background track. Did'nt think about it before.
Is it weird that I fall asleep to anything “All tomorrows”?! I’m pregnant and need a nap so I pulled this video up. Ahh what a blissful sleep..and I wonder why my dreams are absolutely insane
Hi! I've just found about All Tomorrows and speculative evolution. I've already added some the classics of the genre to my reading list but I wanted to ask something. Are All Tomorrows and All Yesterdays the only books related to All Tomorrows lore? Can't wait to watch your videos once I read the books.
Where the hell are all y'all working that you have 2 hours to just listen to audio? Talk to your bosses, you're clearly either not worth what they're paying you are or are meeting goals early enough to reduce your hours. Just go home. If the work is done then convince your boss that your pay should be based on results not time in the office.
Not ragging on you, dude, I quite enjoyed this video, but the word you're looking for is Sapience. Sentience refers to awareness of your environment. We're pretty sure most bugs are sentient. Sapience is awareness of the self and the implication of higher intelligence, which we can't concretely attribute to any species besides ourselves. That said, research shows that odds are elephants, dolphins, and maybe even dogs have sapience to one degree or another. Keep up the awesome work!
I’d like to imagine that an isolated group of hand flappers adopted a primitive custom of removing the membrane between their fingers upon adulthood or at birth, later going on to evolve civilization.
I’ve known of this for a while, but this is my first looking into it. I think conceptually it’s neat, I’ve always like speculative evolution, however a lot it doesn’t really make much sense. I don’t really want to list every issue I have with it though. Good Job on compiling it all into a sort of audio book style format.
Its meant to be written from the perspective of far FAR future historians piecing things together from very old sources. I agree it doesnt make a ton of sense sometimes but i think its intentional
I dont think its meant to be scientifically accurate. I think its science fiction told from a certain perspective that makes it sound more scientific or matter of fact. I like it a lot because of its emotional aspects more than the science lol.
@@BewareCast I hope you’ve been continuing to look into it. There are some companies that you can certainly audition for, I saw it recently- if you haven’t gotten far in looking into it, let me know, I’ll look for the company
With all this lore the Qu could be a very interesting late game crisis for Stellaris! Any Modders around here by the chance?! Thanks for the recap man, hope you doing well. o/
If the posthuman victors didnt genetically modify the qu into truck nuts for their intergalactic ships then all that evolution for vengeance was a waste of millions of years And cm koseman wanted to call the star people's creators as martian americans smh then at least end the story with truck nuts. And probably a will smith cameo idk im out of weed and watching a 2 hour video about all tomorrows please help
since star people were designed specifically to not have war in their nature do you think "normal" humanity would've done a better job fighting the Qu if they had gotten that far instead? Like if the humans from earth expanded into the galaxy themselves with their better capabilities of war and destruction would they have any more of a chance assuming they had also reached the same tech level as the star people? Or were the Qu just simply too OP
I think the tool breeders are an odd group. First of all, is that a ponytail? Secondly, I think the parallel between what the qu did to them and what they did to inferior life forms is one of the darker statements about human nature in the entire narrative.
Watching this and hearing about the Qu and gravital it make me feel both terrified and infuriated hopefully the brethren moons aren’t out there somewhere as well
Listening to these retellings, how the books featured musings on fictional civilisations spanning lengths of time that are a little beyond a person's comprehension, and then condensing it down into a few pages of descriptions, it gets me thinking of Douglas Adams's A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Posthumously, following a bulldozing, the surviving literature about human civilization is edited and condensed down to the entry, "mostly harmless".
I think it’d be crazy and kinda funny if all tomorrows had a Battle Star Galactica typa twist at the end where the humans get recombined into what we are today, full circle. Though it’d be kinda a lazy ending, idk
Hey, nice to have it compiled! If you put time codes in the description for each species or section, it will put markers on the duration bar, which would be handy.
Curious how the Asteromorphs evolved to be similar in design and ideals as the Qu. Possible that after extinction of the Qu they themselves evolved further and became the Qu and history repeated?
That’s an incredible theory, I hadn’t even considered that. I mean with how crazy the Tomorrowverse already is, that theory isn’t too far off. I wonder what the alien author would have to say about it 🤔
