Big Problem: Three Monkeys are Coming to Eat your Brains 

The "see no evil" monkey who didn't see what they were actually doing, the "speak no evil" monkey who didn't acknowledge the immorality of what they do, and the "hear no evil" monkey who couldn't be persuaded by words and discussion.

@@dan9738 YES OH MY GOD. I have been trying to remember what I was describing since I made this comment

"See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil"

Thanks this will be useful. Life is full of Brain Eating Monkeys.

The saying of three wize monkeys is supposed to indicate no intention of keeping evil thoughts. And each of them had something to keep them from doing evil things.... I was trying to figure out how it relates, thank you!

@@photongaming1538 That's where: "If all else fails, stand up for yourself." comes in

​@@photongaming1538It's almost like they JUST said "if all else fails, stand up for yourself"

Logos, Pathos, Ethos moment.

The old man never gave a f***. He is just trolling and this video shows how dangerous trolling is.

Is this like.. A commentaty on the privileged to not tell people how they can fight the monkeys even though they themselves never had to, and thus had no experience, only to let people suffer because of how misguided the advice really is?

@@GoingSwimmingly no he never fought a monkey so a load of people died

it isnt hard to fight a monkey in small size- just... one neck twist- and its fine

I just got to that part!

This is the take I got from it as well, also made me re-evaluate how I define confidence and if I had a skewed sense of definition. Maybe, but if it helps looking at confidence and to have confidence in a more sane and healthy way, I guess I'm gonna keep it. He may not be confident enough to blindly think he would get out unharmed or debrainified but he used what he had in the moments, with the right confidence that he could do his best and hope that it'd work but have in mind that failure is a real possibility. Just do it, you can't learn everything in theory

See no evil 🙈 Speak no evil 🙊 hear no evil 🙉 that’s what I noticed

I support that messege.

Totally legit recap?

@@Peter-xw2py yes

@@claptonyoutube2340 lmao keep telling yourself that Imaginary sky daddy helps me do all things is just the more delusional version of "believe in yourself"

@@claptonyoutube2340 Hey dude, is it better to do things because you can or because you should? Self confidence won’t matter if you aren’t doing anything good with it, and there’s no reason to have confidence in yourself if you’re not doing anything constructive. Just because god is within you doesn’t mean you’ll actually use him right. And addressing heaven, if that’s where an all loving god wanted us all to be then isn’t that where we would be right now? The fact that we aren’t would mean that there is either a loving purpose to both heaven and earth as it is, and that there’s a good reason that we’re here experiencing love and suffering, or that god has limitations of what he can do to help us. Which do you think is more feasible?

oh no.

Or that it has him whom have released the monkey

well, he kind of was. he set you up to have your brains eaten by giving you bad advice

He took the second monkey's offer.

When he asked to join you for breakfast, the breakfast was actually your brain! Saying no was the right option.

Doyoya this is surprisingly good advice that I really needed right now. Thank you!

@@harmonymartinez7669 Glad I could help :)

There's a reason my yearly July Prompt is to make something -- any little something -- in a creative medium you're not familiar with or not yet good at. Also why my first official video is a little vlog filmed in my shed during a windstorm when I'd decided that I had to just start with *something* and I wound up talking about how we should try to do things before knowing whether or not we'll succeed. A message that hits even harder now that I've come to the awareness that I likely have ADHD (hence why finishing projects has always been incredibly difficult for me, and most have gone unfinished throughout my life).

And in fact, he did get mauled

I don't gotta risk nothing. If a monkey comes to eat my brains, then I'll do the best I can to avoid it. But I have no reason to go risk that if there are no monkeys.

Also very funny and random humor. 🙂👍

This reminds me of how my teachers always called me a monkey back in the day, unrelated but at what times would you be available at private, discrete corners? I have a spot of discussion to go through, I'm sure you understand.

It also depicts evolution with the first monkey being a normal monkey, the second one a more primitive one and the third one being anthropomorphic and with all of 4 they all make the theory of evolution

What do the three monkeys represent anyway?

Y’know I never really got that statement. You can’t “miss” a shot you never took. Imagine, you just get someone arrested for walking past you by saying they attacked you and missed, when they did nothing.

That is what ‘believe in yourself’ means, though. It’s not “I’m gonna win!” It’s “I’ve got something, so I might as well use it.”

I wasn’t really looking at it from that perspective at all, just commenting on how the phrase, as widely used as it seems to be, doesn’t really make as much sense. Fired/not fired/missed are all different states. You could even argue that the “shots” you don’t fire could be saved for later, be frugal with your effort or something. Also, I have to disagree with your assessment on self belief, it’s to believe you can do something, usually with no regard to any thoughtful analysis. But saying it’s having something and using it... Like what? If I have a brick I’m not just going to attempt a K.O with it just because it’s on hand.

@@damanallaid I think the metaphor is more in context in a economy/game theory standpoint. In a game where you can choose to shoot the deer, say if you try to shoot it, you have a 30% chance of missing killing the deer and it running away. If you choose to not shoot the deer, you have a 100% of not hitting the deer, hence missing killing the deer. The game does not consider if you want to save the bullet for later, as everything exists in this one small situation. Missing is not defined as missing an attempt, it’s more like missing the opportunity to succeed. I still agree with you that this phrase would not work in a more complex environment where attempts can be given up for better choices, but in the situation of trying something or gain nothing, it works better.

That’s a reasonable observation. Practicality aside, I guess I was being a bit of a grammar stickler. Personally, I prefer “You never know until you try.” But it takes all kinds.

I felt that maybe I was overdoing it by making another video involving monkeys, so I tried changing it to something that wasn't monkeys... but nothing else felt right.

@@MattiasPilhede You made the right choice.

@@MattiasPilhede I feel like a lot of people share this opinion but I would watch anything you post

@@MattiasPilhede monke

@@MattiasPilhede that monkey incident in your family really made an imprint

I noticed I forgot to change that after uploading the video, so sure, what you said is canon now

I just thought he jammed it into his teeth so hard it stuck there

the only way to tell a story if you ask me

Monkey see.

This story is an allegory for and the cause of my confusion, making it an eldritch self contained universe that perpetuates its existence by feeding on itself. Hence why I would both fight the monkeys, and join them, and eat their brains while they eat mine, and the last dying thoughts in the remnants of our spoon addled skulls would be, "Three monkeys are coming to eat your brains."

@@ashwhiteforest9078 fantastic ideas you have there

No it's not a metaphor, we have alarms for them and everything, these 3 monkeys are actually a problem, government should deal with them.

What are all the metaphors

@@camelopardalis84 Meds can help to ease the symptoms, but you have to work on yourself. Remember, if you feel like you can not do something while depressed, it is probably just an illusion, use your willpower to overcome minor tasks and slowly build up your power. For me jogging was a savior, physial excercise is a very strong tool. You are not alone.

I think it's actually really important to have space from those who cause you problems. The old man was like a fourth monkey, the brains behind the operation, who set people up for failure before they ran into the monkeys and got mauled and eaten.

You've got this, I hope you can be proud of your work

The definition of courage you gave is exactly the same as believing in yourself. The blue man in the video, in a way, actually did follow the old man's advice by not following it. He completely disregarded what the old man said and took care of the monkeys his own way. He believed in what he could do by himself. Honestly, I think the end of the video was unintentionally going against the moral the maker meant for. I think it was meant to be a moral about not blindly believing in yourself, but in the end, the guy beat the monkeys by doing just that. He believed in himself so hard, whether or not he was aware of it, he talked three monkeys out of eating his brain. And after doing this, he said he hadn't believed while doing it. Bullshit. If he hadn't believed on some level that he could talk a monkey out of eating his brain, he would have given up and died. He believed that it was dangerous, and he unconsciously believed he could do it anyway. That he didn't need anyone else's advice, that he could defeat the monkeys his own way. So he did.

​​@@MrShifty1 not necessarily. He didn't believe in himself, because who the hell can when facing off three monkeys, right? He just didn't need to, he didn't think he would succeed but he tried anyway and did it. You can still try going at something while not believing you will be succesful with it, and despite that, still do it. Belief in oneself is not necessary to try and do something. It may help, but it's not an obligation. He was in an alarming an dangerous situation and didn't want to die so despite believing that he would fail he still tried to get out of the situation and did it. It's like standing on top of a burning skyscraper, on the edge and there's a helicopter passing nearby but its still too far away for you to jump. You don't believe you can jump, but it's either death or death and you have a chance if you try. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you will take that chance. Taking this chance is not believing in oneself, it's just trying despite everything. And even if you don't believe you can do it, you are going to try because you don't need baseless confidence to actually try and do something.

Yeah, no. Here's the thing: vague, evasive advices or claims can _always_ be flipped around some way and turn into a sort of self-fulfilling prophesy. "Oh, you actually believed in yourself by not listening to my advice on believing in yourself, that's totally what I meant! I knew you had it in ya!" That's the type of gaslighting shit abusers use on their victims. The "true meaning" is malleable because it's vague. It's so broad that you can pretty much fit it into any situation.

Well that's what happens when you say vague statements, you can twist it around to your favor.

I think confidence is something people think about with tunnel-vision. It is entirely possible to not realize you're confident, mistake fear as a lack of confidence, or think confidence has to be a conscious thought.

@@JohnSmith-kb4re Confidence isn't vague, it has a specific meaning that was clearly exhibited by the main character even if he didn't realize it.

The video was boring and stupid as all hell. There was no message. There was no humor. This guy hates the phrase believe in yourself so he ranted about it in an extremely dumb way.

And do no evil

@@Castosito ?

@@superocker06 the main character didn't harm the monkeys even if he could

At the very least it makes sense to me

A baboon could mess you up.

treat them with a load of america

I could take on a large amount of monkeys because I am armed

@@litigation_jackson and legged*

The monkeys at least in this interpretation would both represent his own doubts but also other people and problems. The second Offering to join them and becoming just as terrible as them essentially escaping the problem by leaving yourself behind. Which is of course at it’s core a bad thing.

"Speak softly, and carry a big stick." It's teddy, yes, and i believe the quote ends there. He was referring something something kind of diplomacy I always took it as "be cordial and nice, but don't detooth yourself while doing so" or whatever

And then I thought about what I just said for a minute and I’m not sure I’m sure anymore if what I just said All I know is that I like this

dont eat the rich it's cannibalism

What did monkeys ever do to you to be cursed with such an unfair and debasing simile?

Wdym? No fuckin clue how to get eat the rich out of monkeys eating brains

As soon as he said “let’s not overreact” i was like “oh the monkeys are capitalism”

I too watch a completely unrelated video about monkeys coming to eat a man's brain and project my own political opinions onto it.

physics student here. I only started Uni a year ago, I hope I’ll get that initial doubt quiet soon too

@@asrielgoddard8 I don’t think the feeling every truly goes away, especially as the “mountains” you climb get bigger but I feel like I’ve gotten better and better and just getting to work in spite of it. Physics is a large mountain and you have my respect but as long as you can find some satisfaction in the work you do I’m sure you’ll be fine. Best of luck!

Do no evil, the main character

Do no evil* and it's the protagonist. They were offered as, and represented, not doing evil in a way. So did the old man.

That's cool, what's your game going to be like?

@@MattiasPilhede well, tbh I don’t think it will be made anytime soon. I don’t even know C# yet! Give it a few years, I already have the game planned out in my docs…

@@MattiasPilhede oh and the game will be where you find an ancient temple, and each door has a specific monkey over it. These doors will transport you to a level where you have to traverse by either not being able to see, so the only thing you have is your hearing Not being able to hear, where all you have is your sight, and lastly speaking… which… erm… I think I will skip that one, considering people don’t really talk when playing anyway. Now, tbh I thought of this game after another game I thought of called As Blind as a Bat, which I think is much more fleshed out in gameplay ideas. It’s where you traverse a pitch black cave and all you have is a sonar (which when used could attract monstrous bats) and a satnav (which has a screen as you know; but can attract monstrous spiders) so you have to use them sparingly. I might not make the game about three wize monkeys, considering As Blind As A Bat could take its place, but it’s a cool idea that I might do and flesh out more, to make a bit different then As Blind As A Bat! And I thought of another called “As Deaf as a Post” which I think you can guess what that’s about, although it is way less fleshed out then the game about three wize monkeys… Tbh, I think I can only make one or the other, considering they are both quite similar… but I’m hoping that I could make them both unique and fun in their own way! (Also ABAAB was inspired by Iron Lung, just in case if you were wondering).

@MageBurger I wouldn’t say early in production, more like early in making it at all. I just wrote the game, it not made it. I’m learning C# tho from Brackeys! Give it a few years (I at least hope its a few) so I can code it! I’m still learning a bunch of tutorials.

@@alex.g7317 how is the game going

No disrespect but this is kind of hypocritical. The only reason he defeated the monkeys was that he was able to talk them down into not eating his brains, you think that somebody who hasn't fought monkeys would believe that talking them down would work?
