It's inspiring to watch some young people not being afraid to explore and talk about such subjects. Also very funny one liners. :)

I've tried a couple of times to explain the allegory and the ambiguity of the concept of reality to other people but before I get somewhere they give me either a "you need professional help" or "burn in hell, you infidel" look.

btw. You should re upload your video somewhere where it's not censored by the music.

Since I'm guessing you had no budget (I have been in a no-budget film before by the way), I think that this was very well made! Well done guys! Good direction for what you had to work with and I liked the comedy you threw in. I LOVE philosophy. I'm 20 and just started studying it at University. I think that u guys putting this (the foundations of all reasonable knowlege) on youtube is very important. Thankyou from me and all those who didn't know about this stuff before watching it! :)
