00:04Not again, not another shipwreck, I swear I need a new hobby.
00:12Well, this isn't London, that's for sure.
00:19Are those horses talking?
00:27Ah, a strange creature. What are you called, small one?
00:30I, I'm Lemuel Gulliver from England. Uh, who, who are you?
00:35We are Hohenheims. We live in harmony, governed by reason, logic, and virtue.
00:41Gulliver stumbling over his words, trying to keep up.
00:44Reason, logic, virtue, I, wow, that's, that's impressive.
01:02Tell us about your world, Gulliver. How do humans live?
01:05Well, we, uh, we live in cities, and have governments, and war.
01:13War, you fight each other over, what exactly?
01:15Well, we fight over land, power, resources.
01:19And sometimes, we just fight for the sake of fighting.
01:23That is, illogical.
01:26What is the point of such destruction?
01:29Yeah, I keep asking myself that.
01:38Wait, is that, are those humans?
01:40Yes, those are yahoos.
01:42They are the lowest form of creature in our land.
01:45They are ruled by their desires, their impulses,
01:47and they represent everything we strive to avoid.
01:51Good heavens, that's, that's what I've been living among.
01:58I can't believe it.
01:59These, these yahoos are, us.
02:06You know, I used to think humans were, something special.
02:11But now, after seeing the yahoos, I'm not so sure anymore.
02:16Perhaps you should learn from us, Gulliver.
02:18True peace comes from reason.
02:20A life of order, not chaos.
02:34I, I don't think I can stay here.
02:36My kind is too, wild, too chaotic.
02:39I'd just ruin everything you've built here.
02:41You're a stranger in our land, Gulliver.
02:44But you carry with you the seeds of your world.
02:46We must part ways.
02:48It is for the betterment of both of us.
02:50I understand.
02:51I'm not sure I belong anywhere anymore.
02:58And so, Gulliver returns to the world of humans,
03:02forever changed,
03:03forever haunted by the calm logic of the Hoinshims
03:05and the chaotic reality of the yahoos.
03:08Can we ever escape the wildness within us?
03:19Can we ever escape the wildness within us?
03:23Can we ever escape the wildness within us?
03:23Can we escape the wildness within us?
03:24Can we escape the wildness within us?
03:25Can we escape the wildness within us?
03:27Can we escape the wildness within us?
