If I think I understand this, it's like the butterfly effect, but if it had an opposite reaction. Every positive decision may have an equally negative reaction. Someone might save a dying person on the street, who may go on to murder hundreds of people. Someone related a victim of said murderer, may start a charity, and save thousands of lives. We don't truly know whether something we do is good or bad, until it plays out.

"The only gods out here are the odds." This will be stuck with me forever.

That gave me the chills, because of how real this could actually be. How, in the hope of progress, we show our ignorance and inconsideration of everything else. Thank you, for this.

No freaking way. A couple of days ago I almost missed my train back home but I made it right before the doors closed. Then I sit in front of a middle aged man. I was looking to buy some maple syrup before leaving canada so I decided to ask him where can I find the best one. Anyway, he eventually starts sharing to me that he was a chef but had to stop a couple of years back because of a car crash (straight on a fully loaded truck) that left him and his mom unable to move for 3 months after the crash. He said they weren't supposed to be alive after that crash, but somehow they managed to survive that and the 3 months. Then, I had to leave the train since I arrived but I rlly wanted to hear more of his story but I had to go back to university dorms and sleep early since I had to wake up at 5am for a hard labor job. So before I left the train I told him to check out "Nova Effect" and I prayed that he would land on the pursuit of wonder video.
Hey train guy, if your reading this, you seem like a very genuine, caring guy and I'm so greatful I started up a conversation about maple syrup. I rlly hope the youtube algorithm gods will make u stumble upon this video and this comment because I would really love for you to continue on with yr story of how that crash affected your life.
And for the other readers who reached this point, never shy away from a converstion with a stranger. It could have the potential to be life changing.

The sequel that nobody ask for, but everybody needed.

I sincerely hope the answer to the Fermi paradox is in fact similar to the story in this video. I hope we are isolated by intention so that we as a species might mature enough, alone, through technology, ideology, thought and community to reach such a level of advancement that we might be presented with this bittersweet welcome. A peaceful agreement and exchange of awareness that we are now in a new forest. From this moment on your decisions are your own, but the game has changed.

We can’t possibly ever know what led up to everything that was impactful on humanity, nor should we seek to predict the repercussions of everything we do. Do it for humanity, do it for your loved ones, do it for you. If you follow this, and not necessarily in that order, you’re life with be filled with meaningful moments.

“What would have become of Hercules, do you think, if there had been no lion, hydra, stag or boar – and no savage criminals to rid the world of? What would he have done in the absence of such challenges? Obviously, he would have just rolled over in bed and gone back to sleep. So by snoring his life away in luxury and comfort he never would have developed into the mighty Hercules.” -Epictetus
As the ancient Stoics believed only three things are under our control our responses, our thoughts and our actions. Other people, nature even our own ever-present mortality nothing is in our control or power. Apparent control over such things is merely a temporary illusion. Death, disease, famine, plague, betrayal, defeat, and loss all are parts of human existence. Getting bitter with hatred, crumbling in crippling fear or burning in anger will not change anything. Instead, we should focus on the things we can do to live a fulfilling life. And if death arrives unexpectedly we can take comfort in the fact that we lived a fulfilling life be it not as long as we originally hoped.

I'm constantly amazed at how you leave the endings of your stories without resolution. That takes some brave story telling. The lack of conclusion makes the reader think 🤔.
Good work.

This was absolutely amazing. My favorite channel hands down.

Amazing story. The last words of that obelisk, gives the chills.
Humanity came so far, because of the fight against the odds of reality. It's what drives survival and evolution, but who knows if would there be a limit. But it is clear that there are exponential curves, against the flow of chaos.
The ego always wants... MORE... Only if one drops the ignorance of the ego, that's when you can embrace the infinite, and become one with reality. It's something like transcendance.

This video was basically the idea of a pre-determined butterfly effect.

I loved the first video of Nova Effect and now i love this one. Your videos gives me that portion of time and day that stops everything around me and there's just place to wonder and being. Thank you for that

These videos never cease to amaze me. It like only reading does, creates a certain thoughtfulness. I feel like I and many other young people have gained a valuable wisdom from your channel as a whole. Whether it be a simple anxiety reduction or a spark of interest in philosophy, you help people in a large number of ways I’m sure. Your comments section will always be my favorite, it’s people sharing real, genuine thought with one another.
Thank you

Thank you so much for making this. The first Nova was the first video I saw by you, and it’s led me down a path I’m still exploring. Your channel means the world to me

This reminds me of the story of the Chinese farmer when something happens good or bad his response was always the same. We will see.

There is a Chinese Proverb that goes something like this: A farmer and his son had a beloved stallion who helped the family earn a living. One day, the horse ran away and their neighbors exclaimed, “Your horse ran away, what terrible luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.” A few days later, the horse returned home, leading a few wild mares back to the farm as well. The neighbors shouted out, “Your horse has returned, and brought several horses home with him. What great luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.” Later that week, the farmer’s son was trying to break one of the mares and she threw him to the ground, breaking his leg. The villagers cried, “Your son broke his leg, what terrible luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.” A few weeks later, soldiers from the national army marched through town, recruiting all the able-bodied boys for the army. They did not take the farmer’s son, still recovering from his injury. Friends shouted, “Your boy is spared, what tremendous luck!” To which the farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
