I remember when you were first starting. you've had a lot of big changes since then like going from short videos that were weekly to long videos. probably your biggest change actually. You also use lots of wacky characters and actually use a professional studio now which is a big change too. Those are probably the only big things that changed.

2025-06-15 20:44:35 +0000 UTCI do not believe in fixed truths. Everything we think we know for certain may turn out to be a lie tomorrow. There is no knowable structure beneath reality, no divine law that reveals itself, no certainty on which existence rests. Emptiness is real, tangible, existential. But that emptiness is not an enemy. It is the open space in which something may arise. Alongside this emptiness, there exists something just as real: love. Not as comfort, but as power. Not as a reaction, but as a source. Love is not an invention to make the void bearable, but a foundation in itself — perceptible, repeatable, growing. Not abstract, but physical, spiritual, and moral. It is the only thing that grows stronger through giving, even without any guarantee of return. And like emptiness, love cannot be proven — but it can be experienced. And that experience is undeniably real. I live between these two poles: The emptiness that questions everything, and the love that gives me something to hold on to. Goodness, to me, is not a commandment but a choice — one that becomes meaningful precisely because the world offers no automatic reward for it. In a world without guarantees, goodness becomes something radical. Not because it pays off, but because it chooses to exist. My dark thoughts and contradictions do not make me bad. They make me human. I do not judge their presence, only what I do with them. I don’t want to be a saint — I want to consciously choose what builds, even when I know I’m also capable of destroying. There is no higher system I know for sure to be true. But if such a system exists — a soul, karma, justice — it must be based on radical freedom. Not a universe that punishes or rewards immediately, but one that watches as we ourselves choose, ourselves build, ourselves love — or don’t. Only then does love truly count. Only then does goodness matter. Love is not a defense against the void. Love is the counterpart to the void. And precisely because it does not coerce, it is the strongest foundation there is. I know truth can never be fully known. And yet I choose to give love as if it were the foundation of everything. Because that is the only world I want to live in — whether it’s real or not.
