The Nihilism of the internet age's apology Everything Everywhere All At Once is an amazing movie. It is one of those rare movies that is not only unbelievably entertaining but also incredibly profound. Not only does it give a brilliant exposition of Nihilism but it offers a diagnosis of Nihilism's causes and proposes a way past it. It's a beautiful funny rollercoaster through the multiverse that has so much heart. Like any Metamodern work of art it oozes sincerity beneath its absurd humour.
This video is my attempt (after many drafts approaching its philosophy from many different angles) at giving voice to the philosophy of this 7x Oscar-winning classic. Hope you enjoy it and I'll see you in the comments.

this movie is going to be studied so hard by film classes, movie buffs, film clubs, etc. there are just so many layers to be talked about.

Waymond is Nietzscheās yes-sayer in the movie; he understands that life has thrown him into a chaotic world he doesnāt fully understand and will face tragedy. Regardless of what happens, he embraces it willingly and charges head forward.

Is movie is a masterpiece. Itās still hard to believe it exists.

i certainly felt a lot of parallels with absurdism from this movie

I love this movie, often times when a story touches on a multiverse it always forget about the inherent nihilism it brings, either ābig bad wants to destroy the multiverseā or āwe need help from other universesā,
but this one is different itās beautiful story about the harsh reality of living, exploring the human condition, the cure to nihilism, the importance of being kind, all the while is packed with a healthy amount of humor and drama

To me, one of the many points this film makes is that nihilism doesn't have to be a negative or undesirable philosophy. By accepting that nothing has any inherent meaning, you are free to find meaning in whatever actually matters to you. If you despise nihilism, it's probably because you are convinced that your own delusional beliefs are universally meaningful and important, and nihilism therefore must be bad and wrong

Great take on the film. I'm not so sure connecting with nature and community is quite the panacea its made out to be. For some of us, the internet and modernity, that swimming in the infinite is incredibly rewarding and enlivening. I feel no need to be the greatest anything. Uniqueness is a combination, not a competition. We can't help but all be unique, its intrinsic to our nature. Trying to be exactly the same is more of a struggle.
I see the world as meaningless in the sense of the film, that when you look at everything all at once, all together, then nothing can have meaning. Our lives are not infinite, not eternal, not everything. We are tiny specks. But I don't think we were ever meant to be more than that, so why not revel in what is close, what is present, what is at hand. Love what you can touch sense and feel. I like the internet as I can touch, feel and interact with so much more than without it, but I don't ever hope to touch or feel it all, I pick and choose what I like.
There is no one true ultimate meaning. But there are infinite small, interesting, and uncertain meanings all around us for us to engage in during out finite but yet rich lives.

Thank you for this great video. I haven't heard of this movie before and this video convinced me to watch it someday.
The idea of love being a solution to nihilism is something I have experienced myself. I had a though time finding my place in the world, while my friends and relatives fit, in what felt like a snap of the finger. Went through years of mental anguish till found a book called "Radical Acceptance" by Tara Brach, which basically suggested the same things with some more extra steps.

Amazing analysis of what is perhaps my favorite movie of all time! I have noticed many of these things before, but it doesn't matter, because you talk about the ideas in a unique way. I love what this movie represents, and it's so authentic, funny, entertaining, heartfelt and meaningful!

Thank you so much for this in-depth analysis; I found it fascinating, and it gave me much to think about.

My mother and I watched this movie together. And like a lot of movies that have such a theme, we realized we slotted into Evelyn and Joy/Jobu's roles.
My deceased grandma is Evelyn's father, and Waymond we thought matched our Cat
Our Cat is absolutely a goofy, carefree dude. He's unlike many other cats that we had in our care, and he makes us laugh so much.
During the watching of this film. I feel it finally made my mother realize. That she never faced the prospect that she's faced the fact that she has Queer children, and that she feels residual shame her mother beat into her. Regarding the LGBTQ+ community
My grandma was incredibly homo-phobic and viciously enforced such viewpoints onto the family. To the point where my mom and aunt felt shame and frustration in having healthy female friendships.
When the movie ended, she just turned to face me and told me that she loved me. And that she was sorry that she didn't stand up to my grandma and uncle, to protect us from their abuse
And watching Joy, made me realize. That I had shut out my mother, because she was busy with everything. Busy with keeping us afloat (single mom), busy with maintaining her health, busy with this and that.
That I thought she wouldn't be interested in hearing about my experiences with dealing with being Bisexual, and how I haven't been able to form healthy romantic connections with anyone.
I've been Joy. I've built my own Everything Bagel and wished I could just cease to exist.
But like Evelyn, my mother met me halfway and let me know. That she loves me
We've been seeking family counciling now, and we've been reminiscing on the History and Intergenerational trauma that's come about because of American Colonization efforts on our Tribes.
How the breaking down of our Traditional family structures, led my Grandmother to be fiercely harsh in terms of ideals regarding marriage, home keeping and friendships.
And finding the time to forgive.
To find the acceptance and embrace literal joy. In our sometimes overwhelming and tiring lives
That we matter.
We all matter
We each have and Everything Bagel, but we also have its opposite. And like the Taiji symbol. We must be in balance

Absolutely brilliant analysis. I myself integrate the Multiverse in my spirituality - even focused my second book on it - and the implications of Nihilism are always paramount to observe and act against.

Excellent commentary!, deeply thoughtful and appreciated.

If nothing truly matters, then let's choose what matters to us. To me that's the answer to the collective crisis of meaning in the internet age. And there is no wrong answers. God? your pet? even if it's a poisonous spider? your cooking, even if no one else can stomach it? your family, or your distance from your family. Everyone may choose their own, and everyone is right.
If you see our brothers and sisters out there lost in nihilism, help them. Reach out, help them find something that matters to them.
Treat others with an understanding that you may not know what's precious to them, and may not understand if they explain it. And that's okay. That difference is what makes this world such a beautiful mix of everything. Why the bagel that is our world hasn't collapsed in on itself.

Everything is meaningless but in a word where nothing matters the beauty of the world is the absurdity of it. We all are stupid, living in a mortal time-line customizing our character and personality. Day and night the loop goes on but the absurdity of having to wake up just to sleep after 12hr-14hr is the what makes the this absurd life thrilling. Because it's not just us everyone everywhere did the same thing felt the same thing. But we all did a different thing each day and each nigh.
The entropy of unpredictable makes each day a unique experience However repetitive it is. And when we finally take a look out of the box in third person view you actually see that you are not alone.
I have 64 questions assignment for my chemistry just this morning yet here I am watching this video procrastinating my last hours. But that's the beauty of the absurd situation. Nothing matters not even this work in a grand scheme but even a small action of fulfilling your duty for your future self or others it can change tomorrow. That's the true absurdity and unpredictable world we live in despite patterns and evolution or resilience nature of everything there will always be entropy to everything which will roll the dice to bring something in nothingness.
Idk what I am writing its 5in the morning and I still haven't gotten up my bed. And here I am spending 10min of the day just to write a comment on a video posted 11days ago. - _ -

Amazing video and breakdown!

Hello, just discovered your channel. Congratulations for your work and effort. The title of this video reminded me, one of my favourite philosophers, Parmenides. There is a passage that goes like this: ĪæĻ
Ī“Ī ĻĪæĻĪµ Ī·Ī½, ĪæĻ
Ī“Ī ĪµĻĻĪ±Ī¹, ĪµĻĪµĪÆ Ī½Ļ
Ī½ ĪµĻĻĪ¹ ĪæĪ¼ĪæĻ ĻĪ±Ī½ ĪµĪ½ ĻĻ
Ī½ĪµĻĪĻ. Translates like: never was never will be, because now is everywhere equally one and continuous. I would love to see a video about Parmenides philosophy. Thank you.
