Life's Biggest Questions 

The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know.

What I have learned in 44 years, the sooner you stop caring about others options, the sooner you admit your ego exists the sooner you can find you happiness. I thank mushrooms for teaching me some of these lessons.

I had a near death experience, I should be dead but I got lucky, cos I got to re evaluate my life and to realise what is actually important . I left the high stress high paying job to take a lesser job that allowed me to spend more time with my family . Years have passed now BUT my experience was the best thing that ever happened to me - when was the last time you went for a walk just to listen to the bird songs - try it I recommend it

Still can't believe how we're stuck by little things when things don't actually matter.

0:00 - 1) Does anything matter? (we are only a minuscule blip in time and the end will be nothing) 11:45 - 2) What is reality? (simulation theory) 25:32 - 3) Is objective morality real or possible? (moral relativism) 37:41 - 4) How does a small variable cause a big effect? is reality deterministic? (butterfly effect) 48:06 - 5) What is love? (i dont think this is a profound question. a better question would be "why does love feels like love?" what is the qualia of consciousness, i.e., the hard problem of consciousness) 1:02:56 - 6) Is free will real? (the brain controls "conscious" behavior. we are on autopilot mode) 1:13:55 - 7) Where are the extraterrestrial intelligent beings? (Fermi Paradox, Drake Equation, and Kardashev Scale)

every time i watch one of these i feel like im being cursed with knowledge.

The universe exists purely for humans to experience the joy of watching an aperture video

This channel undoubtedly has the best content I've ever laid eyes on. They're all well thought out.

I think about these things often. Life is a beautiful, strange, and profound experience

Definitely my newest favorite channel. It's also relief to know that there are plenty of us searching for the truth.

These questions annoy me every night. This is like a treat for me.

The aliens probably see us as the inner city. They lock their doors and drive past as quickly as possible.

whenever i speak to people about free will i feel crazy, but understanding the illusion is what helped me start manifesting everything in my life. when i realized nothing was a choice and that there was only one that mattered i chose to manifest.

The joy of watching an Aperture video is so overwhelming, words fall short to describe it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The universe wouldn't exist without YOU, dear reader.

Constantly trying to attempt filtering out thoughts through the lens and perspective of our daily lives, it's burdening, and it's beautiful and great at the same time! This video is INCREDIBLE WE'RE ALREADY COMPLETE! 💜

Your knowledge and understanding are truly impressive. Your ability to grasp complex concepts and apply them effectively is a testament to your intellect and expertise. Keep up the great work!

Realizing now that maybe we aren’t supposed to know what’s beyond our reach… I always hope that maybe when I die I’ll get to travel to interstellar space and seek all the answers I wanna know

Wow. This ended up being way more profound and positive than I thought it was going to be!

You just gave the perfect explanation of why in life everything matters. Every single moment is a unique divine gift; a miracle that we get to experience. To the contrary go feel, touch, smell see the world and the people you love. Tomorrow we die.

Oh did I ever need this video. Since 2007 I've done and said something I would never have said or did. I blame it on a medical condition I have, epilepsy. Your part on free will and the brain really helps explain exactly why I've said and did somethings I would never have done. Since a major event in 2013 life has never been the same and I say that in a extremely amazing way.

The perfect video explaining all things in a practical sense that we all can comprehend and relate to. I have been wondering these topics and subjects with the same questions all of my life. Thank you for making this awesome video of wisdom and truth.

how are you dishing out content like this?!?! this reaches out to me to so many levels.

I love these videos. I appreciapte the time i have on this earth with my fellow humans even more. I stop worrying about meaningless things realising how much little time I have on this earth.

We don't know what's possible until it happens.

This channel has changed how I look at the world around me. This experience was profound and deep.❤❤❤❤❤

A philosophy professor demonstrated, at my old alma mater, that we don't live in a simulation. He used a book to do it and he didn't have to open the book or read from it. But he did it and it was quite simple.

It’s been a while, relieved to see this video, thanks man

This deserves more views. Thank you Aperture.

Maybe the reason the universe is expanding is because we keep trying to observe more of it.

This video really changed my view on life and probably impacted every decision I will take in the future and I'm just here for it. Really appreciate this video! In my 10 years of youtube, since I was just 9 years old it's the first time really interacting with comments so much and leaving a long heartfelt message like this. Just want for everybody to know that they always have control over their lives...❤

Me thinking about every topic mentioned in this video the moment I lay down to sleep at night.

We have a collective purpose, and we have been actively fullfilling it, and it's so obvious.

Amazing work man. Congratz to you and your team.

Amazing content. Amazing delivery. Definitely recommend watching. Kudos to u my good sir. Thank you. Every second was worth it.

This channel is great. So many interesting ideas. Makes me feel alive. Nice music too.

When you realize that our existence is meaningless kinda makes it hard to be happy Especially when all we do is going to work every day until we turn 70 Wake up go to work and die.

Think about how accurate one would have to aim to assemble a multicellular organism from a single explosion that happened about 17 million light years away.

Aperture! Using Stellardrone in the first part is the best and only call! Many points to you, sir. Love the content, please never quit.

I watched this video so many times, every time I feel anxious I watch this and it’s like medicine

This is my type of carrying on. I love the nerd explanation. Don’t dumb anything down for me. Heavy on the pocket protector ✊🏾😂

"nothing in life really matters" 😂 My old therapist called that depression 😂 But like, it's better than existential angst and anxiety so meh

i love your videos man, keep it up!

Matter or dont matter. It is a linguistic question, it could really dont mean anything. Existence is not only logic in words. There is expierience, and other levels of existence, conciousness etc. Its really a lot more complex than "nothing really matters"

I literally was about to search on youtube “philosophical reflections” when this video showed up. Fun fact, I haven’t actually said anything out loud or written about this desire, there may be something wrong with this reality. It’s scary, stay with your eyes wide open.

Thank you this was the exact confirmation I needed that in the big scheme of things me and my life don't matter

Love is. All else comes from attraction. Gravity is. Words describe It. Love speaks for itself

Brilliant content thank you. Criminally underrated, ppl too busy wasting their energy on useless junk...

love is unbound, love is one of the most powerful feeling states for one to endure

This is simplistic in panorama as well belies established realizations!❤❤❤

Great video! In terms of the free will, argument, I dont fully agree that it doesn't exist, but rather, we have less of it than we think. It exists on a spectrum as with everything. We all have genetic difficulties with certain things, but we all have a level of free will no matter how small. Our decision-making is a mix of nature (our natural disposition), Nurture (how we were raised/influenced),and Free will (our limited choice to make decisions contrary to what our mind or body tells us.

Thank you sir! GOD bless everyone this morning. You are beautiful and worthy! Let love guide you, not fear! ❤😁🙏

"we started building empires......., fast forward a couple of million years" losing credebillity in less than 52 seconds must be some sort of record😆

Thank u for this. Your mom must be proud of you

Ayy guys! we collectivly conviced Apeture to make a discord! VICTORY! Also I had a fun time chatting with yall! we can continue it in the server! have a good day, night, or evening! ------Your local Emo boi

You have got a lot of ideas from Tom Campbell here especially about the tree analogy

I appreciate your videos so much more than this comment could express. Thank you

I watched a music channel called Hivemind because a dude called sewerside rascal had a cool song I liked. Met an Australian guy that had his song played on the same channel and it led to me going to Chicago and playing my first live show and basically starting my musical career.

Any action can change everything, yet nothing matters at all.

Nothing really matters but still we fight in the name of religion, race, color, ethnicity😢😢

Anyone who can believe this is all an accident bewilder me...

This is an absolute masterpiece

The painting will tell you everything you want to know about the painter

Thanks 👍 for sharing this massage or information.

THANKS for giving FOOD FOR THOUGHT! Keep Well

someone said this is the best vedio he ever saw. its been 2 min since the vedio is out 💀💀💀

22:09 the NDEs sound similar to dreams, where time no longer has meaning.

"Everyday when you breath... I hope." Quote of the day

This was one of the best videos I’ve watched

I love hate stuff like this. Ive seen tons of stuff like this through my life and hoped some bit of it would give me a bit of peace in my existentialism. And the next day I still got bills and responsibilities. Escaping the trap without giving up sometimes feels impossible.

Doppelgängers many same people on other plants. Cool video I love the affects.

This is the realest content I've ever watched on RU-vid. 💥‼️🙏❤️💯 We really don't know anything as humans And things are only valuable because we say they're valuable This is DEEP

I was glude to this.... Excellent vid!

Excellent video ✨ Let’s get over racism, different religions and identity crisis oh and selfish GREED!! We are trying to fly before we can walk properly!

All those who are new to this idea are just about to know that, you are on a path of completely transforming your thought process and eventually your life experiences. Just sit back and observe the world without taking any conscious part in surrounding events. Be at peace. See how other fellow homosapiens are deluded by the idea of greatness and success that they seldom living their life. some just exist because they are born while some utilise the benefit of evolution of higher intelligent to decipher its own existence, leading oneself to enlightenment. I can't assure you of happiness but i you will have peace at the end. However we have our own definition of happiness, the peace of mind is universal. You will learn to accept the worst of the worst things that had already happened to you and those that will happen to you in future with tranquillity. Peace and just Live.

“In the end, it doesn’t even matter”

Thank you for putting me to sleep so masterfully

The speed of light is based on the refresh rate of the substrate.

This is why I don't have kids. Life is too short for me to deal with them. Luckily having kids is programmed into people's brain or I wouldn't be here. Some say this is selfish. I say I'm lucky, and tell them to go have your kids that you think will keep your memory alive forever.

I Am grateful to have found this channel 🙏 We are one ✨♾️❤️‍🔥

Love the Aphex vibe of the background music. really mixes welll

No lie this felt like talking to a teenager about life. It didn’t feel like a deep video, just a naive perspective. I was hoping for a video deeper than this.

I wonder what the earth will be like in 200 years 🤔

After the last of the energy and heat has disapated from the universe, Gravity will once again begin to pull everything back down to a singularity ready to rebirth a new creation

Clarity, Simplicty, Logic This is Aperture

Tired of this “we’re insignificant” narrative. Your consciousness is the center of the universe observing itself, and it is up to you to make life meaningful.

5 minutes in and existential crisis has been achieved

It doesn't matter if it's someone choice to rob or kill someone else or if it a problem in their brain, the chance of them repeating the behavior is still there and they must be removed from society so they hurt someone else

I've watched too many of these kinds of videos where people want to speculate the meaning of life and every single time people just dance around the idea and try to escape the fact that they brought it up by ending the film.

What does aperture mean to you? Question directed towards the channel author.

I will die happy once I get to play the new GTA 🎉

I wasn't expecting this video to quite literally change my outlook on life

I needed to be reminded that the hell that I'm going through lately wont last forever. Thank you. My life is in absolute crisis, but I hope each and every one of you are living your dreams. I hope life is fulfilling you beyond your wildest dreams. Be well

What a buzzing channel. ❤

There's a going theory that our universe is so big, like 160 sextillion light years long. Our observable universe, 46 billion light years, is only that of 160 sextillion. The same size as a lighbulk in the middle of Pluto. So yeah, there's a good chance there is aliens somewhere, I guess.

“You get one life to do whatever you want” Yea… too bad I wasn’t born into a billionaires family and have to spend my entire 1 chance at life slaving away working for shitty corporate America 🙃 And people say money doesn’t buy happiness. 🤣 I call bullshit Time to dive deep into my existential crisis 😭

11:43 "It doesn't matter, I'll probably get hit by a car anyway." Guess that quote.

This video is simply magnificent! Just brilliant!

Just to let you know Apeture the simulation argument is not a theory its a hypothesis and its rooted in religion and ideology like transhumanism.

Your assertion that time is nothing but a human construct and actually kind of disagrees with our understanding of the universe time is very much something that exists
