The intellectual conversations aren't hitting anymore if she's not using her platform to help raise the voices of civilians facing genocide ...after all the human right advocacy she did ....good on her the bag 💰 must good 😐
@@sarroumarbeu6810her talking about how serious, wrong, saddening and unacceptable was literally the first segment of this video tho? you good bud? lmaaooo
@@ziggylegion1604 ye cuz ppl started noticing her prolonged silence and how odd it is for her to not outright address the state of things when she's associated with so many vocals fellow content creators...I thought better of her..even looked up to her.. lol "Ally"
This is so perfectly worded. I love Brittany’s content and it brings out the silly inner child in me and you’ve totally hit the nail on the head with that
“When I go on these rants, I wonder how many people I lose” brittney i hope you realize how important it is to have these conversations. I’m a 23 year old girl who feels like she’s losing her mind every day and i cannot explain how therapeutic it is for me to hear you talk about those topics
i adore that brittany is able to speak to a more casual audience while incorporating serious topics!! it's incredibly funny to be discussing lovecraftian horrors and nihilism while describing if they're slay or not, but it's also such a skill to be able to communicate a complicated idea with slang and everyday speech. idk she's so goddamn smart and its truly a treat to be able to hear her insight into things... along with the horny ramblings about cosplayers that remind me she's just like us frfr
I feel this. A few months ago I started at a very demanding 9-5 and during my training period I began experiencing panic attacks almost daily because of how overwhelming it was. Brittany's videos are what helped me get through it- I'm not panicky anymore but still love listening to her while I work.
Brittany genuinely helps my anxiety when she talks about the universe bc why am I freaking out over nothing when in the grand scheme of things I’m a grain of sand
since i graduated from college, this is the closest i’ve gotten to feeling intellectually stimulated in conversation since then, which i love. thank you madam president. love u.
Your confidence, eloquence, moral compass, intelligence, sense of humor, and humble self-awareness are all top tier. You are an amazing storyteller and teacher. I am so excited to see all the great things you’ll continue to accomplish; you give me hope for the future and are a positive inspiring influence to our younger folks. THANK YOU BRITTANY!!!
NO BRITTANY YOU CANT SAY THAT ABOUT ARRIVAL Amy’s character is truly so incredibly intelligent the people she was working with were the idiots that didn’t understand how to communicate with them. She’s a linguistic professor and she was so iconic while speaking to the aliens. AND THE STORYLINE? The end gets me every time. You NEED to rewatch for sureeee
Brittany has such a range, I cannot wait to see her become more successful!! It is so difficult to create content that is enriching and deep but also light-hearted and more like a conversation with a friend than just watching someone talk, and she does it effortlessly.
girl arrival is so good, after watching it i immediately went to reddit for analyses and explanations of the things i didnt get and everything made so much sense. it's definitely a movie that not everyone will get the first time.
YEP. YEP. This is what I was thinking when she was talking about it. The point of her writing "HUMAN" on the board was not her trying to speak to them per-se and expect them to understand, but to teach them the basics of our written language, because the whole movie is basically about learning the written language of the aliens, and how that would work not only cross culture, but across planets. Its one of the more refreshing alien movies I've seen in ages because it really does raise a good question - how does one learn a language of a species that is so completely different from you in every way that there is no common ground to start with like there is between cultures and countries.
Brittany you are the voice our generation needs. thank you for talking about the power of human connection, the importance of pursuing higher education if only to grow and learn as a person and not just to get a job. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
As someone who has spent a number of years in mental facilities, I regret to inform you that it is actually crazy ppl in there, not ppl awakened to some cosmic truth
One time when I was in the hospital (for mental reasons) this one bitch stole the bracelet I made in arts and crafts. Got it back while she was getting hit with booty juice. Still have it but I'm still mad lol
“it shouldn’t have to effect you personally to give a shit about an issue” “he also says all the time “solidarity/being an ally cost nothing” and wow ya know -Brittany Broski 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
I’m an archaeology student and what Brittany was saying about having these kind of conversations within an academic setting it so true! I have lab sessions weekly and whilst we’re doing our work we always just chat about our studies and how it’s so interwoven with humanity. I do a lot of early human stuff, that’s where my interest lies and it’s so so so thrilling pondering when we first became aware of ourselves not as animals but as humans. To be able to look at the animals we evolved from and say, ‘yeah that’s not me’ I love it so much. A lot of philosophy goes into archaeology too I’d argue because at our core we’re trying to decipher human behaviour from thousands and millions of years ago. I love my degree ahah
Currently pursuing my PhD and I completely agree about the need for academic discourse. Especially with everything happening in the world, it is so nice to be around people my age with the same values and yearn for discussion :)
Brittany, you don’t understand. I literally re-watched the arrival today after not watching it for like 3 years and the movie changed my life. I completely understand it differently now.😭 and for you to make this podcast episode today is wild
This reminds me of a song called In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. It reminds me of what Brittany was saying about how there was such a small chance of any of us existing in this moment, yet we do and it is earth-shatteringly beautiful. We try as hard as we can to hold on but it is fleeting, and that's such a huge part of the beauty of it all. I encourage everyone to look up the lyrics it is an incredibly well written song.
I could talk for hours about live music and jazz. I watched a band do a tribute cover of Dreams by The Cranberries a few years ago and I couldn't BLINK I was so moved. That level of emotion and talent and passion is so magnetic and contagious. Jazz especially is incredible to watch live, to see the musicians weaving the song together and apart and flowing with one another. There's not another more human genre of music. It's raw emotion expressed in this highly complex talent, it's the human brain in sound form. I LOVE that you talk about stuff like this, Brittany. It opens people's eyes to new things and provides a space for people to express their passions. LOVE U MADAM PRES
I cannot express how much I love when the podcast starts to go into philosophy/existential topics. It is so refreshing to listen to someone who thinks deeply and wants to be open to talking about things that are not just surface level
brittany im a linguist here and im BEGGING you on my hands and knees to rewatch arrival not from a horror perspective, but from a more cerebral perspective. you will absolutely love it. also look more into the sapir-whorf hypothesis which the movie is based on
Words can't express how happy I am that the podcast comes out at the beginning of the week so I can cope with it right away, thank you our great supreme leader 🙏
I love waking up to a new video from you on tuesdays and seeing you in your muumuu. Makes me feel like we just woke up from a sleepover and I'm so ready to sit up and listen to the things you have to say
I am (hopefully) starting a 4 year Art history with Sociology degree after a 6 year hiatus from education. It'll be my first college experience and I just wanted to say it's partly to do with watching your videos and hearing your intelligent take on a lot of social issues. I thoroughly enjoy them every time. So thanks x
I was raised in a small community that did not give me the access to cultural differences but when I went to college, and yes even my local college, it was such an eye opening experience. I learned so much about diversity and ethics and just how to be a more perceptive person that the debt I now have as a masters student, doesn’t really feel heavy. I feel that college is an opportunity that truly opened my eyes to so many different avenues and it needs to be more accessible and accepted as an option.
For anyone into Lovecraftian horror, the video game Dredge is super fun! You're basically a fisherman who goes to these islands, and you slowly come to realize that sometimes the fish you catch...aren't normal. And of course, the people of your town also have some...quirks that make you suspicious of their true nature. Plus, if you stay out too late, you start to see some strange stuff! Gameplay is super easy and relaxing, perfect spooky game for eternally spooky vibes :)
I can't even bring myself to watch the Hozier interview because I think I will just sob the entire time. I saw Hozier two weeks ago and I can't even bring myself to listen to his music because his concert was so life changing. The thought of my two favorite people speaking with each other makes me want to crawl into a hole and never come out!
If Brittany makes an entire episode about Nardwaur I’d watch that over a million times. Loved Nardwaur since the early 90s, he’s such an inspiration and amazing person
Brittany you would unironically love Arrival 😭 it's so good, emotional, it's about love and knowledge and the psychological terror that comes with being a human.
While Brittany was talking about the meaning of life, why we were put here, and existentialism, I paused and thought about it to myself and came up with the conclusion that our "purpose" or our meaning to life is to love and be loved. Then I unpaused it and not 12 seconds later at 23:44 she said exactly that. I love this podcast. One episode we're thirsting over Call of Duty characters and the next we're talking about existential dread and the meaning of life. Truly iconic.
I’ve learned more listening to you than in my 4 years in college. Granted, Covid hit my sophomore year, but listening to you speak about such important things with this one-of-a-kind, relatable, and humble eloquence - it’s indescribable. This is the only content I’ve seen on social media in a long time - if ever - that actually has helped me feel fulfilled, at peace, connected - myself. It gives me hope. Thank you.
1000% agree with the college discussion. I actually tried saying the same exact thing to one of my friends and she responded with “not everyone should go to college, we need trade workers” and I get that, however, there are certain lessons in growth and worldview that are hard to obtain when not attending secondary education. I often notice a genuine difference in worldview between those who engaged in secondary education versus those who don’t. I really feel sorry for people who are unable to receive that opportunity or for those who chose not to.
I was one of the ones who didn't go and my partner had explained that exact thing to me before and it's nice to see others say it too cuz it really does make a lot of sense.
I fully agree with the sentiment on college. I fully hated some of my university classes and profs and especially did not love how expensive it was. But the people I met, the things I learned, the maturing and growing up it helped me through, those are experiences I would never regret
"They're listening to argue back" is such a valid point when we talk about the information we get from the internet and how people react to it. Having in-person discussions about, for example, the toll international events and the balance of human existence, is so important because it does not allow anybody to hide behind screen or a comment section.
I think what’s nice about music is everyone can appreciate it broadly and there’s a type for everyone to find a preference. I can appreciate proficiency in music theory and instrumentation but when I’m driving down the highway, I don’t want to listen to jazz, I want to sing Sabrina Carpenter’s lyrics.
The argument that none of this matters makes me feel so ALIVE please please never stop getting philosophical on this platform, cannot express how much I love this podcast thank you madam president!!
i actually studied the arrival movie in an english course once and it’s now one of my favorite movies. in the class we were studying time and the concept of time in media and life and essentially the circles that amy adams was drawing was their way of communicating bc they see time as a cyclical thing rather than a linear thing that we humans see it as (with a beginning and end like brittany was saying). so they essentially can see all of time at once and don’t really have a sense of past or future. that’s why amy adams had to learn their “language” of circles in order to communicate with them and understand what they wanted. and then she becomes fluent in this language and eventually learns how to see time like that as well??? And that’s what all the “flashbacks” were. they were actually just here being able to see into different moments of her life, both past and present 🤯🤯
I was at ACL and the Mumford and Sons cover was LIFE CHANGINGGGG. I am so glad you talked about it because it was one of the best moments I’ve ever witnessed in live music
YOU ALWAYS SUMMARIZE THE WAY I FEEL SO WELL. trying to explain to my sister why birdbox was such a unique and extremely terrifying kind of horror. She is someone who is more for the gory kind of characters, vs. my appreciation for media that can rely on more than just the general human fears. something beyond that
Brittany is such an important person to me. I’ve only been watching for a few days but I can’t believe how truly in touch with herself and her own soul.
Sevdaliza is definetly one of the many artists that are barely known, but so incredible in songwriting, production, everything. Brittany, if you notice this comment out of thousands of others, i'd love to recommend her to you, and to everyone reading this. She really changed my life, i'd say the same way Rosalia did.
omg second this comment i love sevdaliza i never seem to come across other fans!! i’m rarely a person who’ll listen to an artists whole discography i just couldn’t get enough of her after ison
@@czworka5022 she’s just got that music that makes you feel it all and ascend. do you have a top song? i stumbled across her video for bluecid on here by chance in 2019 and it’s still gotta be one of my fav songs.
why don't you care about using your platform when it comes to a genocide being inflicted by a government power? i can't watch your content in good conscious if you can ignore how many children are dying horrifically right now
I started college in 2021 at a small private liberal arts university in my home town. Between work and living alone off campus with lots of other responsibilities, I decided to drop out after my first year and get my EMT certification through community college. What I WILL say though, is how much I learned about society and about LEARNING in itself for the short time I attended that university. Although you’d expect a lot of students to be left leaning at such a place, there were SO MANY different perspectives that I got to experience. It truly opened my eyes, and I WISH I had the means to go back. I was dealt a bad hand in my late teens and didn’t have a parental support system. If there’s one thing I want to be as a parent one day, it is supportive of a college education. Learning TO LEARN and not just going for info to dump out of your electric meatball is what is so important. To think critically about the things we seek information about, and to push outside of the boundaries of our own mind and community. I absolutely LOVE watching you speak to passionately about things like this, because it reminds me of the academic conversations I could have with peers in university. The way you choose your vocabulary to so clearly communicate your knowledge and understanding is CAPTIVATING. I know that I will never have some of the understanding of somebody who attended a university for 4+ years, and my younger friend will surpass me in that way eventually, and I believe she already has. But I am SO happy for everybody who gets that. I’ll be here, ready to listen, ready to save your life because we NEED educated young adults.
Listening to Brittany talk about the universe, the scale of it, and how humans react to it is something that honestly brings me so much peace of mind. I have the same thoughts all of the time!! Most of the time I find comfort and love in my understanding of the universe, but sometimes the scale of I can be terrifying! Knowing other girlies think of all this at the same time makes me feel like I’m not crazy! 😂
"Like the older I get the more Im like 'Damn immortality really is a curse. It does not sound Slay" Idk why but ive been dying laughing at this line for like 15 minutes
i love how she makes jokes about how she wonders how many of us she loses when she starts getting serious (??) but while I may have came for the silly, I stayed for the serious rants
Connection!!! I was just talking to my therapist about this.. I had to go out and find new friends after Covid. I had a baby. And a whole new perspective on life. It’s so lonely. I started attending library events and mom and me classes. And that turned into even bigger friendships. And more friends added into that. I haven’t felt this loved in a decade. Keep searching people. You’ll find them!
I have literally been OBSESSED with lovecrafts stories ever since I read them in middle school and I’m so glad someone is talking about this. I could go on and on and on about this type of horror it just does something to me
I’m here having a mental breakdown and feeling so loved and comforted by the intellect of Britney and she dares to ask if we’re still paying attention?? BRITNEY BB IM BUSY CRYING OVER YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORDS 😭
she’s really not gonna say shit about palestine huh?? there was all this noise she made about women’s rights and lgbtq rights but has stayed silent on the current genocide happening in gaza.
Being a white political woman online means you talk about topics the majority of people already agree on, like women‘s rights or gay rights. When you start to criticize Israel‘s corruption and mass murder however, they start sweating cause that‘s when you have to stand against the entirety of hollywood and huge western corporations. I doubt she will speak on it because activism stops when your paycheck gets affected.
I would let it slide if she wasn’t on the other hand actively condemning others for staying silent on human rights issues. But she also stans Matty Healy at the same time so what the fuck do I know
listening to you makes me feel a little less insane. i’m not suicidal listening to you and it’s nice to forget about it all for an hour each week. i love you brittany🫶🏼
No cause ur actually saving my life right now Britney I’m so down terribly like my head is so scary rn but u just dropped an episode and now I can take my mind off shit so honestly thank u I love u sm
I feel so comforted and grounded by Brittney's words when it comes to the human experience. Not only do I have very similar values when it comes to valuing life and love and respect, but I also am in awe of how she can articulate things in a way that is so powerful and profound. It never feels preachy or pushy, but rather coming from the heart and the mind of someone who has so much wisdom to give. I am always moved by your words, and from the bottom of my heart, you move me to be a better communicator and person as a whole. (Plus I love thinking about things beyond comprehension, it make my brain chemicals very happy, so it nice to hear you also like that aspect of lovecraftian horror)
I really appreciate that you brought up the subject of people who are considered to be mentally ill are actually seeing truth and that’s why they are seen as sick. This is something we talk about a lot in my circles that consist of people who are interested in psycho-spiritual topics. Our theory about this is that people who are considered mentally ill have spiritual gifts that are misunderstood by society. Since the mainstream don’t accept and honour the spiritual side of life, it’s deeply misunderstood and mostly accepted only on a very surface level (like crystals, the zodiac and shit). From that misunderstanding and disconnect from the deeper, more existential parts of being human (which are spiritual in a sense) comes mental illness. I don’t believe people are crazy, I believe society is sick and the way we live and relate to ourselves and the world around us (which is considered normal) is what makes us go “crazy”. It’s a very interesting topic and important conversation to have. I would love to have it with someone like you and I’m very happy you brought it up! I love your mind and the way you express all parts of who you are, thank you for being you ❤️
Really would love to hear her talk about what’s happening…just to share the truth about what’s going on. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 if anyone could have a big influence on American media it would be her
crazy how you’re for sure seeing all of the comments on tiktok telling you to speak up about a literal genocide and you’re choosing to ignore them. it’s been almost a month. you’ve had enough time to “learn about the situation.” i’m beyond disappointed as are a lot of your tt fans. you frame yourself as an activist yet you’ve said nothing. your silence won’t be forgotten.
Noooo Arrival is one of my favorite movies of all time 😭 she writes “human” on the dry erase board because she is a linguist and was trying to establish the very basic building blocks of our language vs the aliens language. Near the beginning of the movie they say something along the lines of “you know you’ve learned a language when you start dreaming in it” and she starts to have dreams about parts of her life she has yet to experience. She learns that the aliens speak and perceive time in a circular way rather than linear, and it was given to earth as a gift. I cry every time I watch it (except when Jeremy renner says “let’s make a baby together LOL) and then I immediately will pair it with Interstellar to feel even more cosmic despair. I love both of those movies they are so beautiful lmao. Maybe toss Annihilation in there too tbh
It's not even funny how much I related to Brittany's spiraling about death. I have really been struggling with the panic attacks and spiraling at night for a while now but just hearing someone else experiencing the same thing really comforted me. thank you for talking about this Brittney ❤️
brittany, if you haven't read it, i highly highly recommend "Beautiful World, Where Are You" by Sally Rooney. that book seriously means so much to me and i think it could go well with a lot of your personal philosophy. i think this passage from the book really sums it all up, and it completely floored me the first time i read it (no spoilers for the plot but if you wanna read it in the context of the story first then don't read ahead) "Maybe we're just born to love and worry about the people we know, and to go on loving and worrying even when there are more important things we should be doing. And if that means the human species is going to die out, isn't it in a way a nice reason to die out, the nicest reason you can imagine? Because when we should have been reorganising the distribution of the world's resources and transitioning collectively to a sustainable economic model, we were worrying about sex and friendship instead. Because we loved each other too much and found each other too interesting. And I love that about humanity, and in fact it's the very reason I root for us to survive - because we are so stupid about each other."
Literally wanted to start a RU-vid channel for stuff you are preaching about. Higher education and internet literal making you feel so hopeless at times about problems that don’t need to be disrupting your life. I respect you so much. You are validating. Maybe one day I’ll make that channel
@@bonemeat3917She has said, on this EXACT podcast something along the lines of “how dare you not bring light on an important subject if you have a platform” and here she is, doing exactly that.
I have been having a really hard first semester of college and you really made me feel so much better about what i’m doing and the decision that I made. Thank you. :)
From an internet stranger, and as I‘m just at the part where she talks about college, I just wanna say: yay, you’re doing great! I hope you get to learn some interesting stuff and get to know people that make you feel connected! In the meantime, whenever/if it gets hard - you’re not alone. It’s really rough at times 🤠🥲
I’ve seen Brittany around the internet, but I’ve never heard her speak on anything besides in humorous convos. She’s so funny and seems so lovely and kind. I loved listening to this podcast, it was like listening to a goofy, smart friend. ❤️
tbf edward spent his immortality going to high school-- coulda gone to college and studied literally everything you were ever interested in and been completely entertained
He did do that, im not trying to be mean just a nerd they would set up in a town and go through high school then college every Cullen has a masters in a few different areas, there was a wall of graduation caps, so much good lore portrayed so horribly
i went and rewatched the meeting harry styles video after watching the hozier video and i just cried because i felt so happy for you and how far you’ve come. im not usually a commenter but i just wanted to say how much you’ve changed my view of the world and humans and how beautiful it can all be. i look forward to your podcast coming out every week and i am just amazed at how a person can just be so simultaneously hilarious and intelligent and just so multifaceted. love ya brittany 🫶🏻
20:00-20:45 thats exactly how I see life, it's beautiful 💜 20:50- the ability to think, experiencing the universe, and the purpose of life; made me cry 😭
23:51 Brittany, what if I told you that the MAJORITY of us who listen to you are not lost on the wonder of your words? What if the reason we respond to you is because of the kindred spirit and nature of your curious acceptance of the unknown? Please do not doubt your ability to demand and hold attention, to inspire new thoughts, to insight revelations in others. The way you speak is so similar to how I philosophize and have since a very young age, you're not losing anyone!! (and if you do...that's really not our place to do anything about)
So happy that brittany got to see one of her heroes in life and honestly I hope she knows that a lot of people would feel the same way she did if they met her
I went to college at BYU (mormon university, i’ve since left the faith) but going there is one of my biggest regrets in life. I started during the pandemic where everything was online. i barely knew my roommates, i didn’t go to in person classes, and it was so isolating. plus, in mormonism, there is such a push to get married young which makes the college experience so much harder. i love hearing brittany talk about college & her experience bc i can get a feel for what college should have been for me without religion interfering.
I'm genuinely so confused as to why you haven't spoken a word about Palestine & the literal genocide. Being so vocal after the barbie movie & having Hassan as a guest, interviewing hozier etc & you've stayed silent? During a genocide??
