Chapter 9: Firstlings

[guwest2]

love your vids Upp Teg.

[UpGlie]

What kind of bird is that at 5.43?

[CommitToFocus]

You've inspired me to read Lucretius



[burmanhands]

I must only take those pills in the morning in future.

[IloveJesusYesId0]

I can find it in my heart to forgive 7 people.. Let's not push it.

[lilimax555]

Strokesfan1107.........said it better than I can . I agree completely.  So glad I found. this channel

[strokesfan1107]

Omar Khayyam's bit had every hair standing up straight. I've never been in such awe of words before. The music and video to go with simply color, and animate the powerful feeling of being whole.

[manchester26m]

Crazy thing is: We ARE the centre of the Universe. Evidence now shows this. However, so is everywhere else in the Universe, so nothing special afterall.

[fiorella933]

Amazing video !!! I like your works ! Thanks for sharing with us  :)

[knowwaie]

The evolutionary life force philosophy will be the death of us.

[nmr16216]

please i don't speak english very good , can somebody say me what say at the beginning of the video the words of rerum nature ?

[UppruniTegundanna]

Here you go:

"I shall begin with a discussion of the scheme of things as it regards the heaven and powers above. Then I shall state the origin of things, the seeds from which nature creates all things, bids them increase and multiply. In turn how she resolves them to their elements after their course is run. These things we call matter, the life motes or the seeds of things, if we must find in schools a name for them, firstlings we well might say, since everything follows from these beginnings"

[nmr16216]

@UppruniTegundanna thank you very much!!!! sorry for the trouble :D

[noxumida]

@nmr16216 "De Rerum Natura" is actually Latin for "Concerning the Nature of Things".

[Rabastan]

@nmr16216 Puedes encontrrar el vídeo subtitulado en mi canal. Debo admitir que me costó mucho trabajo traducirlo. Pero la obra de UppruniTegundanna vale la pena el esfuerzo.

[lordvesel]

Amazing work, criminally underviewed!

[jasason10]

I was wonderfully entertained! Maybe your best yet. Although your best maybe be still ahead of you. For me, I am looking forward to learning more and more with each new video. Thank you.......again

[Jools86]

I'm probably repeating what has been said before, but your skill with producing truly inspiring videos is mesmerising. Keep it up :) Maybe you and the guy who makes the symphony of science tracks/videos should do a colab!!

[nustiucenumesamipun]

Beautifully done! I enjoyed it. 

[thehiddennews]

Beautiful Video, thank you.

Peace.

[Funzhine]

I love the music so much that i bought 2 cd's of Sketchie

[henriktor]

Wow - instant subscription

A rare gem on youtube - sometimes among all the rubbish on youtube you find a video that makes you think, makes you question, and makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time

[triteconfessions]

Wait till you see this on a 32inch television. S'lovely and beetastic.

[Smhendo152]

do you compose the music yourself?

[Funzhine]

@Smhendo152

Music:

Feud At Saint East's - Sketchie

Kissed by a Kisser - Xploding Plastix

I am Absolute - Sketchie

[sp4zzer]

are the gracphics and video content original work?

[bdwilson1000]

wow...

wow.....

[tipoomaster]

Now who was the one retard who disliked this?

[EvolvedParadigm]

@tipoomaster they who thumb down, find more value in the scribblings of primitive man.

[TheAtheistAllegiance]

Yup, I'm speechless. I don't even know where to begin when trying to describe the magnificence of this video...

Well done, UppruniTegundanna.

[Jango370]

It's so sad this only has so few views :(

[janmarsh]

From Dust & again to Dust....... For what purpose have we been given these few moments of consciousness ? "The Moving Finger writes, and having writ, Moves on; nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line"

was translated directly by Graves and Ali-Shah as

"What we shall be is written, and we are so. Heedless of God or Evil, pen, write on!"

[ParkourAyro]

1 idiot thought he'd be cool to be the first to dislike this work of art

[rwcbanzai]

This would be a wonderful Semiotic(MatterOfMeanings) PublicServiceMessage by NatGeo or WorldWildLifeFund, NASA, HumaneSociety, LeagueOfConservation, etc., to play on public TV 2 open someEyes 2 CAUSALITY! The only thing missing is volcanoes, globalWarming, cars, trains, ships, pollutionMachines, solarEnergyAlternatives& the ocean of starvingHumanity! Art in the 21st Century is Dynamic & not Static, change isGood if your intent is.... Thx 4 sharing it with the world on urTube!  ClearWater ; )

[nelsonsb2]

nice one duder

[nelsonsb2]

really like how the music syncs with the insects:)

[UppruniTegundanna]

@nelsonsb2 Cheers mate! Glad you liked it. How are you doing?

[glemmstengal]

Oh sorry, I didn't see the titles of the music in the info

sorry about that

[glemmstengal]

Fantastic video, can I ask the titles of the songs played? Especially the second one

[BacteriaShepard]

Once more, I am blown away by your videos!

Keep up the good work :)

[anananwar]

i cried a little during beauty of the beasts

[triteconfessions]

Beautiful video, fantastic bee. Total chick magnet - bee or you, it's hard to say.

[zivanlee]

thanks for the upload, best on youtube by farrrrrr

[216trixie]

Stunned, again. Thanks, U.T., for another first-class video.

[Rabastan]

You always manage to make me cry. Your videos are inspirational. Wonderful. They certainly worth the time I waited. Love it. Just love it.

[styrofoamheart]

awesome. homerun, my brother.

[IWillEnjoyYourDeath]

No number of "likes" could ever express my appreciation of this video

[Phelan666]

Divide the likes by the dislikes.

...Wait-a-minute...FFFUUUUU!

[tipoomaster]

Mind blowingly awesome, like all of your videos! Keep it up!

[cuddlehead1]

very well done, you have my respect

[PluralOfEverything]

Sharks are why aliens haven't invaded us. They're afraid of them, and I don't blame them.

[FanaticTroll]

Too good to have this many views.

[musekiteer]

Does Uppruni Tegundanna mean Origin of Species in Icelandic?

[UppruniTegundanna]

@musekiteer Yup, that's what it means!

[musekiteer]

@UppruniTegundanna

Google = genius.

Another great video, btw ;)

You have the same poet-philosopher-humanist-aest­hete attitude that we see in pangeaprogress.

Not your geologist e-carnation, by any chance?

[kitas7]

Another great picture after "Reverse Engineering the Universe" and one of my Favourites videos on YouTube "The Indelible Stamp of our Lowly Origin ". Both translated into Polish by the way ;)

[UppruniTegundanna]

@kitas7 Oh yeah, I noticed you did that! Dziękuję!

[pointmanzero]

Fantastic! I'm a fan!

[Gorteenminogue]

Richard Le Gallienne's translation (of the Rubaiyat) is the most powerful.

[UppruniTegundanna]

@Gorteenminogue

And do you think that unto such as you,

A maggot-minded starved fanatic crew,

God gave a secret, and denied it me,

Well well, what matters it? Believe that too!

[Thrashaero]

nice use of Xploding Plastix! did you know one of the two guys used to be in a black metal band?

[vince19811981]

wow.... great work

[xXAnthony619Xx]

Damn I'm so glad I subbed you XD. Thanks for the great video man.

[0x8x0]

Ahh, the power of repetition ;)

Very well done, thank you!

[philhellenes]

Enough knowledge can bring tears of yearning to the eye. Those were the few moments I was truly alive. I pity those that merely have a heartbeat.

[mylkTV]

all ways get a little bit giddy when i see you have done another video. excellent, moving stuff as always. thanks and keep up the good work !

[martiangrundy]

Another simply stunning example UT.

Outstanding in a sea of mainly dross and mediocrity.

BTW, your Ultimate Rube Goldberg Machine video was my favourite ever UTube video.

Anyone who likes this and hasn't seen URGMachine, I urge you go check it out.

Pity we can only now thumb up. This is definitely another 5 star video.

[UppruniTegundanna]

@martiangrundy Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it! As for the Ultimate Rube Goldberg Machine, I see you've found the other guy who has somehow managed to upload it without Channel4 blocking it in the UK. I think I'll link to it in the underbar as well.

[martiangrundy]

@UppruniTegundanna

Yes absolutely. I was gutted when they blocked it. And highly delighted when I found someone else had re-uploaded it.

Yes, I think linking to it would be a smashin' idea. Anyone who likes this, will surely enjoy The Ultimate Rube Goldberg Machine too.

And I sort of feel sorry for anyone, either lacking enough, or blinkered enough NOT to realise the natural beauty hinted at in these video's.

Great great work indeed.

[Jango370]

This just makes me happy!

[drjonathonflash]

Excellent !! Worth the wait.......though the next one can't come soon enough.

[OccamsView]

yawn.

[atthetopofmyvoice]

Gloriously stunning work man.

[MindAndMarzipan]

Beautiful! It reminds me.

[KrokrX]

Excellent choice of images, music and words and superb job of editing - really enjoyed it.

[julsHz]

This probably the best video I've seen in a while. Superb job. And thanks for reminding me how astonishing it is to read the work of Lucretius in today's world.

So much beauty in the world, it's heartbreaking and inspiring all at once.

Sharing...

[rwcbanzai]

@julsHz Thx 4 shaing this wonderful literary poeticVisualExperience U found thru photons of light way back. It's hard to believe i"m following U into pages past to say something We alredy know! Just complementing our experentialCircuit in a yenYang eternal cosmicDance. xoxoxo (it's rainIn RightNow) ClearWaterCory ; )

[rklcardinal]

Your hard work has paid off.

Really good.

Liked sparks fly upward especially.

I hope you do more.

[Rationalific]

You are the best video maker in all of YouTube, and maybe anywhere. I feel sorry for the people who have watched American Idol or The Real World and have not seen this. And I feel so sorry for the world that there's no doubt that viewers of shows like those eclipse your viewers by a few orders of magnitude. Hopefully someday, this will be corrected.

[IloveJesusYesId0]

@Rationalific Hopefully it will be corrected in this way - We Fix This Planet To The Point Where These People Wasting Time Dreaming Of Being An "Idol" Can Try For Whatever Stupid Dream They Want As Long As They Don't Hurt Anyone.

Get Some Of These Dictators Out There On Stage.. They Just Want Love =P

[squirreljester2]

3:28 is pretty bad ass, and has a great dance mix to it, very cool and very well done.

[KillermaTV]

I.. I have no words to explain how amazing this, which I just witnessed was. How great this universe, all universes.. How great is all things we see, and all things we do not?

[drgoldteef]

Excellent!
