00:18The End
00:20Quick, think of number one to ten.
00:22Yes, you. All of you in the audience right now.
00:24Or maybe it's just one of you. Or four of you. Or a hundred of you, depending on how successful this movie is.
00:28Whatever. Just think of a number one to ten.
00:32Got it?
00:34Is it seven?
00:36Chances are I'm wrong, but for about one out of every three of you, I just blew your goddamn mind.
00:40But one out of three?
00:42Not one out of ten?
00:44How is that possible?
00:58The End
01:00Here's my theory. First of all, no one will pick one or ten, right?
01:04Like, that's just stupid, picking from the ends.
01:06And you didn't even specify one to ten are included, right?
01:08So people wouldn't want to mess with the rules or anything.
01:10Like, it would be embarrassing to fuck up choosing the number one through ten.
01:12Why do you think people choose the number seven?
01:14Well, I'm an Aquarius, so three gives off that vibes for me.
01:18Yeah, five, bro.
01:20Like, that's just midday, yeah?
01:22No cap.
01:23You see, Pythagoras actually calculated even integers are more predictable.
01:27Two and four feel a bit, uh, harmless, if you will.
01:31You know, back in my day.
01:33Three, nine, five.
01:34Pick a size.
01:35Three, two, seven, eight, oh, three, six, three, four, one, nine.
01:40And so there it was.
01:45Science has found that 33% of people will choose seven,
01:49and yet no one could quite explain why.
01:51Out of a seemingly random set of arbitrarily assigned values,
01:55out of complete and utter meaninglessness and nothingness came...
02:01Everything! I mean, think about it.
02:03We live in a world with so much uncertainty,
02:05with, like, climate change, civil unrest, and...
02:07The only thing on CERB right now is what college you're going to.
02:10Miles, it's really not that complicated.
02:11Go to a good college, get a job, and die.
02:13And what's with all that one through ten shit you say every day?
02:16Yeah, what's with that anyway?
02:17Yeah, what's with that anyway?
02:21How about your extracurriculars?
02:24Can you do CERB?

04:46Miles you too wait do you want to kiss like obviously door door yeah yeah um but obviously
05:00so should we drive around some yeah let's do that yeah let's
05:14seven was also the first time I encountered the pinnacle of existence
05:35death
05:38why do you think that raccoon killed himself he didn't animals don't do that
05:59but what if they have feelings just like us maybe his wife died and he went through months of
06:06existential grief and rehab where's all this coming from mom did uncle Fred kill himself
06:19you'll never have control over what you learn
06:25you'll never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory
06:34pick a number one through ten
06:43and now you all are probably expecting a happy moral to the story
06:51or some kind of but wait there's more ending
06:55but there is none
06:58there's no meaning to any of this
07:03there's no meaning to any of your shitty follow your dreams valedictorian speeches
07:08or virtue signaling
07:09we live in a society pinterest quotes and definitely there's no
07:13and definitely there's no meaning to my pretentious
07:17nihilistic and ending attempt at self-awareness
07:20for the sake of self-awareness
07:35will you remember me
07:40of course
07:44i don't think i will
07:48yeah honestly i don't think i will either
07:56no like i'll remember you
07:59but like for 50 years
08:01like we probably won't give a fuck about each other
08:03let's be honest
08:04exactly
08:04yeah
08:05i mean maybe though
08:11yeah
08:13i'd like to think so
08:16i'll be like remember that miles kid
08:19i really liked him
08:22he was really cute
08:24he had nice eyes
08:26i guess
08:30it's a weird feeling
08:32it's a kind of fleeting feeling
08:34we'll only really experience once
08:36like
08:37we're not gonna realize how good we had it
08:40until we're old
08:41and inevitably lose contact with each other
08:43and then
08:44and then remembering all of this will be painful
08:48do you think then that it would be better to remember
08:57or forget
08:59yeah me too
09:11we begin tonight with new mexico
09:18where thousands of firefighters are battling a colossal wildfire
09:22there's so many random things happening in the world at once
09:27that don't feel like they make sense
09:28what you're about to see is graphic
09:30okay now i'm gonna ask you
09:31what do you think the meaning of life is
09:33just to have fun
09:34and don't care what anyone else thinks of you at all
09:37just live in with the journey
09:40the experience
09:41and find some happiness there
09:43honestly just do whatever the hell you want
09:45because i mean in the end none of this is gonna matter
09:48and these people that you think care right now
09:51they really don't
09:52i guess to focus on yourself and do what you want to do and not waste time
09:56to help people to do more good
09:59so how do you feel about the future right now
10:01oh maybe
10:01the world's kind of uncertain
10:04at the moment
10:05personally kind of scared
10:06not great
10:07i'm just kind of nervous about it
10:09it takes a lot of work to be optimistic
10:11i don't know where i'm gonna go to college
10:14i don't know what i want to do with my life
10:16and so i don't know where i'm gonna go
10:17it's just such an unexpected thing
10:19you can never know what's gonna happen next
10:21i don't think anyone really knows what's going on
10:25as a family man
10:27i uh so the meaning is the happiness for all my family members
10:30the future of the past
10:32the present
10:33it's all a gift
10:34i don't know
10:35it's a gift
10:36the future's really scary
10:38i don't really feel confident
10:39would i be
10:41here
10:41i'd say sad
10:44only because there's a lot of things that i benefit from
10:46in this world that a lot of people don't benefit from
10:48it's a surprise
10:49the world's biggest bird is the ostrich
10:55but we all try to find our seven to hold on to
11:04love everyone that you can just go find someone and abuse them with your love
11:10you know the people that you spend it with
11:12just live life and not just exist
11:14it's just really big and you never know what's gonna happen
11:17because existing is just waking up going to work
