  • @smiller10280 wow, u know ur physics, I wanted to say that. But just remember what he said, smell and ur olfactory system work off of waves. lol I think this guy works off of drugs

  • This guy is a genius! I haven't laugh so hard in weeks!!

  • 0:20 WHAHHA

  • Comment removed

  • Have you realized you're an idiot?

  • Brad Pitt in Twelve Monkeys LOL

  • This guy who made this video hes interesting but, idk im not cetching what hes saying, i think he needs to focus on explaning things so we can understand .

  • Nothing actually touches, it's just valence electrons repelling each other...

  • Clearly there is NO MEANING TO HIS LIFE

  • We just exist and we procreate to exist even more. Life is something temporary therefor our main goal is to make it not so, procreation being our best bet.

    Our only meaning is survival, we live to survive more ... unless for infinity there is no other meaning of life. Even if we live like we are immortals ( achieve goals, raise our wealth our various material things etc.) that still doesn't change the fact that we die and it ends. And then what? What was the meaning ?

  • :22

    lol.

  • he's just making crap up not actually thinking

  • meaning of life lol

  • In this video: peasants pretending their geniuses.

  • @bumzurvaj indeed

  • hahahahahahahahaha!! its called life and try to enjoy it not spend all ur time finding out what it means

  • = 42

  • I understand you bro

  • lol this guy needs a cult! i bet some stupid fuck will give this guy money,

  • I'm not thinking I'm getting it. Are you saying life is like a wave straying from one side to another and in the act of trying to get back to the middle it off balances it and goes to the other side? Like a space craft that is trying to get to --x-- and it starts out x---- so it fires it's left booster but uses too much of it and then it ends up over ----x so it tries again and does the same thing? And maybe the happiest people are those who know how to stay closest to the middle w/o sway.

  • @fenders4life That is definitely your unique expression, good one.

  • Please! I urge you! Seek medical help a.s.a.p. This is said with the best intentions.

  • YOu sound just like me friend....we are the many and the many bring more...thanx

  • your fucking crazy dude. Do yu have medical dissorders... Your skitzo?

  • i think that the meaning of life is that "god" is a higher being in many ways like how it is much huger than use and how we are there bugs and only the few bugs travel outside of their little hiding spot to confront this god and we are like an

  • environment dome experament like in a classroom and god is just a child and all the other universes are different progects and we are just a little larve's larve's state we are so insugnificent that we are the equvilent to a mere grain of sand and we will evolve to grow larger and stornger and more resilliant to weathering ,

  • you mean 50.5? [get it?]

    good job not blinking

    also: smell and taste do not involve waves, only half of sight (that half that evolved later) involves waves

    god, read a book about sensation and perception before you start to spout pseudo-science bullshit

  • Comment removed

  • check the OED, the word meaning came from , "Old High German 'meinen' to intend, signify, make known, mention, have in mind," it doesn't stem from any kind of mathematics, it's stemming from symbolism and human ability to use symb

    ols, sure that's math but it doesn't have anything to do with a "middle" as you suggest

  • This is all just fantasy.

  • I prefer the Nihilist approach: Life has no meaning, except that which we give it. :)

  • Allan B Wallace has a very similar understanding where he postulates that

    theres a perceived momentary consciousness,

    theres a substrate(foundational, subconscious) consciousness

    and a PRISTINE consciousness which your vibration theory likens to in my mind but heres a video by him for you to check out

  • theres a good video in which alan wallace speaks about this concept heres part 1

    B. Alan Wallace, Ph.D. on science, buddhism, skepticism and meditation | Part 1

  • What you've done here is commited a fallacy of equivocation, you took the word 'meaning', as in, the thing that gives somthing a purpose, and a function. And then you took the mathematical term 'mean', as in, the average that takes the amount of values, then divides that by the sum of the values . And then you interchanged those terms, to make some weird pseudometatheory (yes I used two prefixes in that word) which tried to, if im being honest, make yourself seem intelligent, sorry.

  • @ZenoKameno Did I commit the fallacy or was it committed when someone decided to use the same word to define two different things?

  • @IanCrossland Look at it this way, mean (maths) and meaning are two completly different things, because they share a name doesn't mean they share a definition, does it? That's like me saying, "bows fire arrows, bows are ribbons that are tied, therefore tied ribbons fire arrows" sorry, does not work!

  • @IanCrossland Yeah. I think that's a good response.

  • @ZenoKameno I think it is obvious that these two words have different meanings, and his point is to show how these words might actually be pointing to the same thing. So where I am objecting to your objection is that what you see as his main fallacy. I see as his main idea. He doesn't spell it out with a syllogism or anything, but I don't see that thing you pointed out as a fallacy. I would say the main error he is making is having a lot of ideas, but not having them organized in a clear way.

  • @zach9899 The only connection he made between the two words are the labels, and that's essientially what words are, labels, they have no intrinsic properties or function, they are just words.His main point is that, all sensory perception is a product of a physically reality, we percieve this reality, and take the 'mean' of it, If we still use the same deffinition for the word mean, as he did in the beggining of the video, that point would make no sense what so ever.

  • @ZenoKameno The cumulation of sensory input, and the combination of different senses to create a view of reality doesn't at all have anytrhing to do with 'a mathmatical term thatb takes the average of a set of numbers by adding them up and divinding by the amount in the system'. The only way you can connect those two is to commit a fallacy of equivocation, or to use some sort of analogical context, (which may be the same in a syllogistic or logical format)

  • you're translating a linguistic term into mathematical language... its interersting.. but you get way off point very quickly. and in turn it makes your entire diatribe useless.

  • back when mankind stood out the muck and said, "I AM". lol

  • The meaning of life is paradoxical, as simple as to simply exist, to inordinantly complex mathematical relations, but I think it can be boiled down to two major themes. 1. To simply exist, our universe seems to exhibit a bias towards existence, with particles spontaneously appearing even in a vacuum.  2. All life shows a strong bias towards exploration, so to exist to explore, so the universe can learn about itself.

  • how much fucking weed has this guy smoked

  • @deadbrokefilms - weed doesnt fuck you up this much dude.

  • the meaning of life was not meant to be discovered

  • You were told it was only for god to know, which is another way for the people...and I stress people...who wrote the bible to hide the fact that it was a question they did not know the answer to.

    There are many reasons and meanings to attribute to life, pick one...because it's what you make it.

  • ridiculous.

  • yo yo fuck you nigga you dont know shiiiiiiiit!

    XXbrokencydeforlyfe!!!XX

    but seriously, dude...shut up........you suck

  • I fucking hate everything about you. haha.

  • The meaning of life is to explore and to discover.

  • @nichola1M

    I used to think that. I devoted my life to science. Science was amazing. Then I took a month of doing nothing. Decaying. Life is more fun when you wait.

  • I can't imagine anything taking the place of mathematics.

  • Ian, can I switch brains with you for like a day?

  • I remember talking/acting like that years back when I use to be on dope all the time

  • He doesn't blink. He is relaxed. And he knows how to be "crazy". That's why he is impressing you, if he is.

    But his talk is only talk. The "meaning" of life can not be comunicated on a general level in human speach. You have to look for it yourself. We all do.

  • I think this is a character he has created... It is impossible to find such an awkward behavior.

  • this is a complete waste of my time. You're a babbling idiot. Funny thing is, after you take your puffs of ganja, you really think that you're being profound, but fact is that you're being a complete idiot. I sincerely believe that your family is missing chromosomes, which you've inherited... YOU'RE BABBLING NONSENSE. Truly sad...

  • Instead of asking the question..."What Is The Meaning Of Life?" Why doesn't anyone ask..."How Can I Make My Life Meaningful?"

  • You're what they would call, a Mad Genius. Give the guy weapons and knives and you'll see my point.

  • There is meaning to life; ask yourself why things evolve, why do they change in order to adapt to surrounding environments and ecosystems? Why do parents nurture their children until they're grown enough to do it themselves?

    Survival. Survival is the key. All these aspects lead down to survival. But why is it important to survive? Is it human/animal nature to do so? Because obviously they wouldn't be too inclined or fond of not surviving.

  • Dude, stop wasting my time!!!!!!

    Lay off the drugs you obviously can't handle them.

  • OH MY GOD he's so insane I can't stop watching he's entrancing and enrapturing

  • who do you think your teaching?

  • this makes a lot of sense but, I'm pretty sure that he is crazy...or on coke or something.

  • We aren't deaf. There is no need for the frantic waving of your hands.

  • You're like a mix of Keanu Reeves and Jeff Goldblum... I love it.

  • very interesting, but at the end you started acting looney

  • Heavy, dude, but yer bogarting that joint.

  • Comment removed

  • But without complexity.. nothing simplifies.

  • dude are you trying to vibrate with me sometime? i go vibrating every wednesday night, its the highlight of my week.

  • the awesome thing is that he is pretending to know what he is talking about, when he really does know what he is talking about. great job!

  • string theory

  • Bro.....hahahah.......your one of those guys that likes to think he knows what he is talking about.

  • All of this makes sense your just to stupid to understand it.

  • tru dat

  • the mean of 1-100 is not 50. if you add 1+2+3+.... and divide by 2 its not 50

  • It is try it out my man

  • you don't divide by 2, you divide by 100. He is correct!

  • you divide by 100 dumb ass

  • The meaning of life is quite simple, it's to live life.  That's the purpose and it's quite obvious. Truth lies within simplicity.

  • lol several times! Thanks.

  • good job. you keep doin what you're doin.

  • You want to know the meaning of life? Do "meaningful" to humanity. Contribute in a form of action not in form of taught or explanation. All your ideas goes in circle. If i where you go out there, CONTRIBUTE to the benefit of human existence, enjoy life as the way it was intended to your existence.

  • Bro, that was so deep bro.

    Have you ever heard of Chris Langan? Look him up bro, you guys have a lot in common... not the least of which: brilliance.

    peace

  • IanCrossland, stupid and abnormal.

  • No, no, no, my friend, The meaning of life is to give life meaning.

  • It's 42.

  • I'D like to bone his mathematic system. NA'H MEAN?

  • wow, this guy is a genius. good stuff.

  • Just because he says complex sounding stuff does not mean that he is a genius.

    Mathematical mean does not equate to 'purpose'.

  • *cough*cough*shrooms*cough*

  • hahahaha

  • I dunno about any of you... but I think this is one of charles mansons offspring; watch a charlie manson interview and see the similarities it's insane!

  • the middle of 100 would be 50.5

    AND QUIT TOUCHING YOUR FACE! YOU ARE NOT BRAD PIT FROM 12 MONKEYS!

  • aha, and freaking wavelengths did you take that acid...gimmi some!

    no but honestly, I think you are wise, like a peanut, a peanut of earth which the rain has heavanly blessed. The shape of your thoughts can not be seen, they are clouded by peanuts! the meaning of life comes to us like peanuts are crushed by a fat mans jaws, slowly, in bits and pieces...mm peanuts!!

    woo junky, analyze that, or better yet, take a fist of peanuts and shove them in your ass! mm chocolate peanuts!!

  • The mean of 1 and 100 is 50.5.

    (100+1)/2=50.5. Yes, marek0086, it did take him far too long to find an answer that was not even correct.

  • 1 thru 100 your fucktard

  • The mean of all numbers 1 though 100 is also 50.5

  • it took your far too long to figure out the MEAN of 100!!!!!!

  • and he got it wrong...

  • your hands made me puke

  • I would like to say that its biorhythms, it controls our emotions, all connected within a a perfect rhythm that we create.

  • What sucks is that you are obviously interested in the unmasking of what is known as 'Animism' but your so far off by what is really going on, but unlike most, you'd be able to achieve it, with help along the way. read The Story of B dude im telling you, you'll understand, because once your mind is open it becomes VERY open to fear and anxiety, maybe because of worry i don't know but once you understand the 'leaver' side of life which is what i believe your searching for, you'll become whole.

  • Drugs... And why you shouldn't do them.

  • what the fuck is going on here? what planet are you transmitting from? you're on those inter-galactic drugs.

  • That is the funniest post I have ever read awesome response this guy doesn't exist in mind.

  • Its just meth.

  • HAHAHAH!!

  • This dude is totally tripping balls...

  • I officially call FAKE on this guy.

  • yep, thats life.

  • i saw the movie number 23....

    i think i learned about wavelengths in 7th grade....

    Sight came last...when you are in the womb your heart forms first then the spinal cord, excreta. Your eyesight is formed last and when you are born your eye sight is still being formed making adjustments to the light...

  • its 69

  • ur a genius wrapped in an idiot crushed into little bits of moron's spread over entre's of assholes served to your own selfishness

  • think about it ian

    except i think your alright

    uhm, your just like me actually

    it think it's the whole... hard to focus, stay concentrated, stay committed, add/adhd thing ya know except mental illnesses only count when it's extreme.

    ya git yea

  • See kids, this is what happens when you use drugs.

    I wonder if he ever watches these videos after he sobers up.

  • The mean of the first 100 numbers is approximately 75. 75.25 to be exact. Fail.

  • Read vygotsky .

  • He is just conflating concepts such as 'pi' and the golden mean with that of the meaning of life. I always thought that the 'meaning' would be subjective by nature due to how we percieve things. By the way in which you constructed your video it sounds like you are for an objective reality....I think your videos are interesting in terms of being mind candy but your message is crap.

  • your thoughts are governed (and limited) by your language. the mathematical 'mean' of numbers and the 'mean'ing of life have nothing to do with eachother.

  • How many drugs should one take to get to your level? haha You think you are some kind of mathematical teacher trying to help youtubers with your ramblings about things we have all heard about with a college degree? Try again.

    And the meaning of life is not mathematics its people's interactions... which you really need to get a lot more of.

  • I'm guessing you don't have a girlfriend, because you are really annoying to listen to after a short while.

  • The meaning of life is not a thought.

  • HA HA HA!!!

  • Well thank you for ruining philosophy for me.

  • Am I the only one to post this comment? The meaning of life is!!!!!! 42 :D

  • where all bacteria...

  • mean·ing --noun

    1. what is intended to be, or actually is, expressed or indicated; signification; import: the three meanings of a word.

    2. the end, purpose, or significance of something

    Math can't solve everything. This cannot be solved by math. And I can mathematically prove what I said.

  • Drugs ruins the mind

  • Guess you should really stay away from them seeing as simple grammar fails you now.

  • the meaning of life is plastic. stupid

  • man look at his eyes....Yeah-someone's been touched! he reminds me of Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys. Terrence McKenna, anyone?

  • the mean of 1...10 is 51

    1+2+...100=5050 (or N(N+1)/2)

    5050/100=50.5

  • Some have postulated that if a chimpanzee, set in front of a typewriter and enough reams of paper, might write a novel by pressing keys at random. I suppose this is a test of the same theory using video instead of a typewriter.

    But, I don't think anyone ever thought to give the chimp drugs before sitting him down at the typewriter.

    What progress man is making!

    Give up the drugs, dude. They are doing you no good.

  • isn't the mean of 1-100 50.5 ? :P

  • hopefully these videos give you some insight...simplified, you can just visualise the kind of life you want without worrying about meaning, the follow through with action, similar to how you'd carry on when you're dreaming lucidly...if you stress out the way you did while recording this video, you loose all meaning and become a stress basket...all the best dude, just thought I'd pop by with my 2 cents

  • to give life a meaning would take away just that...the meaning of life lies in the mistery of not knowing the meaning.......do i explain myself??? Side note to Ian: Why are you subscribed to my channel? You don't really seem to know anything about anything but I admire your perseverance in your search. Just try and not confuse the kind folks in cyberspace...by doing that you just end up more confused yourself...KARMA

  • surfs up cheeseburger! how are the waves in Cali???

  • i like how you used "meaning" as a verb and not a noun

  • How's that philosophy major working for you?

  • Also, understanding the world as waves or whatever, even getting at a vibration that pulses below all things, doesn't help us understand or define a purpose to life, but rather eliminates our ability to forge it. It all creates a very nihilistic mode of thought.

  • I don't think you've quite explained why we should even bother going beyond what we perceive as reality. The way we construct our reality in our mind is probably the only way we will ever be able to perceive it, since we have no other method of perception. And even if we could, there isn't an intrinsic value to discovering or understanding underneath the "meaning" of life.

  • nice. i like. same opinion

  • Is this like satire... we're yer mocking one of these pseudo-intellectual know-it-alls? Because, if so - it's goddamn funnies.

    Yea... it's a wave man... whoa! Surf's up.

  • lay off the drugs.

  • You confused mean and median. Change the name of the video to the median of life.

  • Okay, fuck all that, now talk about the lizard people, and the fact that you are one.

  • Dude, you it seems you are very creative, however, put the Meth pipe down. Speak to us sober - your creativity will then be much more coherent and thus meaningful.

  • Mucus Membranes are the meaning of life

  • Thats my real point here, stop thinking so much Ian, this will not lead to happiness man. Do more!! don't think and analyze every little thing, its fucking depressing!!! Be creative and productive. The beauty and magic in life is grounded in our ignorance, its in the unknown.

    So enjoy every little bit of ignorant bliss you can get.

    Be happy man, make yourself happy anyway you can, that is the meaning of life in its simplest form.

  • How does love fit into this ??? Love is an emotional adaptation to a physical necessity, that being sex, which comes back to survival. Sad but true.... in my opinion.

    It seems that looking for the meaning of life is quite depressing huh?

  • My opinion is this.

    Scientifically the meaning of life is to survive, simple. Individually primarily and secondary survival of the species and the survival of your DNA through reproduction. Our lives are motivated on a base level by our drive for things that aid us to survive, Sex and Food and Sleep.

    On another I guess deeper level lol our lives only have the meaning that we give to it!!! It's your choice what meaning your life has. We give our lives meaning through our actions.

  • The mean of the numbers 1 through 100 is 50.5 , you can do it in your head its simple, add it up 100 + 0 = 100, 99 +1 =100, 98 +2 =100, 97 + 3 =100 so on so on............ through to 49 + 51=100. These additions can be done 50 times so you get 5000 with the 50 left over therefore

    5050 / 100 = 

    You think you are going to answer the question of all questions, your going to give us the meaning of life???

    You can't even do simple mathematics.

  • Actually, you'd count 100+1, 99+2 etc... meaning that you would have to mulitply 101 by 50, and then divide by 100. It comes out at the same (obvious) answer, but your method was slightly wrong.

  • This is just how I saw it in my head, I agree that if you did it on paper your method may appear more logical. If the answer is correct the method is not incorrect, its just different. Its the answer that matters.

  • You're right, they both make mathematical sense.

  • Irrational word association, this is classic schizophrenic behavior. There is no doubt Ian is an intelligent guy but he's wondering down a dark road I'm afraid, I hope he is getting some form of treatment.

  • I truly hope this is a joke.

  • schizophrenia Ian, schizophrenia.

  • the mean of the numbers 1 to 100 and n=1 is not 50

    Median* lols

    It's 1.

  • the mean of the numbers 1 through 100 would be 50.5 briankid, you are even a bigger retard than this guy.

  • touché, I forgot to add.

    But seeing how you're an assface, you may suck on my balls.

  • Great video, We are all but a vibration of essence that take on a form that we can all relate to. A simple yet complex wave of vibrating on a level that we can perceive, Other dimensions truly exist but on a level of vibration that we do not yet comprehend without seeking further conscious awareness.

  • WHUT.

  • A. "ameboids" as you call them, which I assume is something amoeba like, would have a sense of touch, even if it was a weak one, long before evolving the organs for sight, hearing, smell or any other senses.

    B. I really have to know. Does your brain operate on another level than the rest of us (which wouldn't be a bad thing necessarily), or are you just on a lot of drugs?

  • You took a homonym of "meaning" in the phrase "meaning of life" and tried to tie it in with the idea.

    It basically made you sound dumb.

    The "meaning of life" is a philosophical idea and does not tie in to the English language. Your mind over analyzed it, and just kept delving deeper and deeper, even though logically it made no sense.

  • haha the MEDIAN is 50. The mean is a greater value than 50...if u added up all the numbers 1 through 100...

  • God Bless All of You that seeks the Truth!!!

    For God said "Seek and you shall find, Knock and the door shall be opened to you, ask and it shall be given to you..."

    God will give the Holy Spirit to whom ever asks and the Holy Spirit will lead you to the Truth.

    The smallest effort will not go unseen by God.
