NEW VIDEO: What Are You Doing With Your Life? The Tail End

This video was deeply impactful to me.

Chris Remboldt

I feel inspired again because of this vid, I'll keep watching it over and over to remind me the importance of this life

Kurzgesagt: "You're doing nothing with your life." Me: "AHHHHH."

Great video! The original post on WBW really inspired me a few years back. I tried reaching out to my toxic parents, however, and having had my hand burnt on the stovetop for the n-th time in a row, decided to block them instead 😪

Poignant but hopeful. As someone who will reach that magic number of 65 this summer, it is another reminder of how precious each day is. Now, should I be _that_ mother who sends a link to her son so maybe he'll call or visit? LOL! Tempting.... I love your videos - thanks for all you do!

Connie Harich

That was a beautiful video.

Come on guys, I just woke up

Hell yes

I'm not crying. You're crying! Too real. Thank you for making such eclectic material in an approachable way. Even though the topics are overwhelming, you frame them with care and candidness.

What a video, your content never disappoints! Thanks 👍

Is this upbeat version of Mad World available anywhere for download / stream?

Instead of sitting here hoarding bitcoins, I should sell them, take my parents and entire family and go do something amazing before they are all gone. That's what I got out of this video

I agree, you guys need to do more about AI.

One of your better videos, this really made me think about how to spend the next 50 years of my life. I actually created a bucket list and a countries I want to visit list. Thanks guys, more of these and less of "what happens if you drop nukes where ever" 😊😊

I truly think spending good, quality time with friends or loved ones has an insanely strong healing quality. If not healing, I would say a life devoid of these experiences is a life of degraded quality, if that somehow makes sense.

Might be the best advice I've heard today.

Thank you, this topic was a good wake-up call many of us need. Another one perhaps even more important is regarding the unsolved AI safety problem. There are many myths and misconceptions to dispel.

The title was a pretty clear warning. Also, it's Kurzgesagt -- if it's not existentially challenging, it was probably uploaded by an imposter and will be subsequently deleted.

It suggested to you that reach out to a friend, do something that you have postponed for a while. Life is too short for anxiety. I should know. I wrote this after I watched the video: "Well, about ten years ago I had a stroke. It almost killed me - I nearly rolled a critical failure on the die. I was 37. This taught me to look at the small things in life: The sun shining, birds chirping, a nice talk with a friend and so on. This video is kind of what I walking thinking about when I lay in hospital for two weeks ten years ago. Life is precious. Make something of it, even small things have value."

Great video. However, my name is not in the description as the latest video The Final Border.

Well, I'm a bit confused after watching this video. How is it supposed to help us, human, in our life? It feels depressing, as many comments already pointed out. A follow up to this video would be great to better understand your approach, I feel many of us don't get it.

I will paint all my weeks in the “watching kurztesagt videos” colour.

LOVE IT!!! Great job as always!! ❤️

In a eulogy I recently gave, I said that the life of a person can be summarized in three points: 1) The people who (positively) influenced you 2) Your accomplishments and best memories, whether shared or not 3) The people you (positively) influenced Considering that you have very little control over 1), and that you mostly take 2) with you to your grave, think of way you can improve 3), whether through volunteering or other ways.

I just had a conversation with my partner about time, how it is the most valuable currency in this world, and using it to its fullest. 30 seconds later, I received the Discord notification about this video. I read you loud and clear universe....

I didn't need an existential crisis during my morning coffee.
