Jacob Geller: Come for the beard. Stay for the perfect articulation of existential terrors youâve spent a decade trying to suppress. Also stay for the beard.

I think the issue with the "you die when you sleep because your consciousness is interrupted" line of thinking is the fact that your brain is never truly "off". There's no memory snapshot followed by a shutdown. In computer terms, there's no "suspend to disk", only "suspend to RAM", thought considering how our brains work during sleep even the "CPU" arguably still runs in "maintenance mode".

Itâs actually subtly genius that this video is separated in completely distinct sections with only single sentences joining them. Itâs not wholly unlike a body joined to a head that wasnât a part of it, connected by a spinal cord and a few sutured veins and arteries.

When I was a kid I watched the Jimmy Neutron episode where they swapped bodies. In the episode the swapping was a fluke that Jimmy could not replicate, so instead he emptied both of their brains content into one computer, and then his friends had to individually decided what aspects of each of their personalities belonged to each upon reupload. Heaven help us if we ever not only can copy a soul, but fragment it like that.

One of my favorite parts of SOMA it's the "Coin flip", a way the main character rationalizes what's happening to him that he wins a "coin flip" so his thoughts keep going.
There is no coin flip, we just change POV, it's just a cope from him

The different segments of this video are transplanted onto each other, giving the illusion of the continuing of each sentence while knowing there was some section of each video that we lost and will never be able to see. This channel is so good that I have trouble wrapping my head around it (no pun intended).

The digital brain reminds me of how Terry Pratchett describes the experience of a ghost: they feel detached and uncaring because part of your original personality comes not just from the electrical signals in the brain but also all of the chemicals and juices your brain is floating in

The thing about her speech, is that the brain is still active when you sleep. Its not like your brain stops when you pass out, its merely another state that the body can be in

"I was required to exchange chimeras of boundless grandeur for realities of little worth" is such a good quote

I have a chronic illness called Crohn's disease, and my immune system fights off organs that do belong to me. I self medicate with immune suppressants to keep me going, and medications are a completely normal part of my daily life. Despite this, most of the time I am completely healthy. Several times throughout the days between my shots I forget that I'm even sick. Though I understand the concern for new medical procedures, I know how important they are as the test subject of a new immune suppressant and the practice of using Ultrasound technology to monitor bowels. While medical advancements can be scary, more often than not they're for the better. I trust my medicine and I trust my doctors.

This resonated with me on a level I didnât expect, the further I got into it. I have amnesia, and only really started âbecoming a personâ less than a year ago now. I feel a lot like Iâm a new soul in this body, but I canât deny the old resident, and it still sleeps in the bones.

Most of my dreams are extremely boring and hardly worth remembering. But there are a couple I've never forgotten. When I was much younger, I had a dream that the world had come to an end. I don't remember why, but there was no possibility of rebuilding. Instead, those who survived wound up transferring their consciousness to a digital haven.
It was meant to be a peaceful replica of Earth but it was teeming with these horrible monsters. In the end it was discovered that these monsters were the remnants of the human and animal testing that had been done in order to perfect the technology. Fragments of those minds were stuck in a sort of limbo, unable to fully live or fully die. Consciousnesses broken and lost and angry.
There was some more stuff in that dream but goodness was that unsettling. I can't remember it perfectly and have lost much of the details as often happens with dreams. But I can still recall that awful horrified feeling. Deeply unpleasant.

Imagine just being a brain hooked up to an external life source. Fully consciousâŚ..but not body or headâŚ.the thought of that makes me feel like I need to throw up. Thanks Jacob for the existential breakdown.

Okay so as a nurse I know Polyethylene glycol is also known as Miralax. It's typically used to help relieve constipation so when I heard him mention it used in nerve tissue studies I was VERY confused. I did some googling and it is, indeed, the same substance. Pretty cool how something I give patients almost everyday has such potential!

Soma doesn't get nearly enough attention, it's one of the most compelling stories in all of media to me and I played it on the deathless mode and enjoyed every minute. Great video!

The worst thing about this video is that it ended. I could have watched this video for ten more hours. This is one of my favorite video essays I've ever seen.

Fantastic! Man-made horrors beyond my comprehension! (Great video Jacob you just constantly find new things that terrify me)

Jacob could make a 45 hour video talking about the history of snails and I would still watch every second of it.

This reminds me a lot of the conceit of Mass Effect 2, where you wake up 2 years after fully being thrown out of your spaceship with no oxygen and falling into the gravitational pull of a nearby planet and being missiled onto it â they explain that they retrieved âwhat was leftâ of your body and rebuilt you. They arenât specific about âwhat was leftâ and Shepard worries about whether or not they are the same person post-reconstruction. A lot of the worry stems from like, if theyâve been altered for nefarious purposes but I always wondered about how the consciousness was transferred, because how the hell was the brain preserved after such a violent death? Itâs a little hand-wavey in the game, obviously, but I always found it really disturbing to think about. Just like this video! Great work!
